Faith was very responsive and able to schedule work to be done later the same week that I called. Scott called the night before to verify/discuss work to be done the next day. He showed up on time the next morning, and was very professional, personable, and knowledgeable. He did excellent quality work - everything was framed in just beautifully! - and he accomplished quite a lot in one day. He stayed 2 extra hours in order to finish the job. We also asked his opinion about some other work we need done, and he had excellent ideas. We definitely intend on having Scott back to work on our other projects. Overall we were extremely pleased with the whole experience!
Description of Work: Installed a pocket door which involved cutting back and framing the rough opening, cutting the pocket door frame down (because it was too big), and installing the pocket door. The second project involved framing out the bottom half of 2 walls in the basement. The top half of the walls had framing and drywall, the bottom half of the drywall and framing had been removed previously because of water seepage issues. So the project involved cutting many 2x4s to the appropriate (different) lengths, and installing the base 2x4 into the concrete floor. Note that the areas that both these projects were in are not square and straight, so it is not so easy to get the wood cut and lined up perfectly.

We decided to do the work ourselves, but were very impressed with how quickly Faith called us back and how she followed up a few days later with a phone call when we forgot to call to let her know our decision. The price quoted seemed reasonable, and if we change our mind about doing the work ourselves, we would not hesitate to use them for the job.

I had an excellent experience. I left a message while they were on vacation, but Faith Southard called me from vacation, and we set a time to talk over the weekend. Faith spent a great deal of time on the phone with me, understanding the nature of the work I needed done, then scheduling work to be completed almost immediately. Due to an injury, Faith sent two people to my house, and they performed the work in tandem. Scott oversaw the job; he was very knowledgeable and provided me with some good advice regarding a problem he found in the basement. My experience with everyone from Handymen & Mrs. Helper was just great -- I will definitely use them again, and recommend them to others as well. Faith completed this engagement with a follow-up phone call. She was extremely professional and customer-focused throughout.
Description of Work: They performed a variety of work around the house including: re-attaching siding and a downspout that had blown off in a wind storm; removing wet insulation in the basement and bagging for trash pick-up; fixing a dead bolt; installing new outlet plates in the kitchen; checking the fireplace damper; and fixing a French door locking mechanism.

It was very enjoyable to converse with Faith Southard, owner of Handymen & Mrs Helper. Faith was a great listener, as I explained some of my projects. She volunteered ideas and suggestions. Scott, the handyman was the person assigned to these tasks by Faith. Scott's an amazing person. 1) He interacts with the customer in a very friendly, and INFORMATIVE way. (2) He is very, very detail-oriented. Does a job to absolute perfection. (3) When Scott notices something unusual, he would bring me over to point out those things. That was very beneficial. (4) This was my best experience regarding Handyman, Plumbing, Carpentry type of work. (5) Scott was accompanied by Heath on two occasions, which enabled my projects to be implemented quicker. MY CONCLUSION (1) Use Angie's list. It's a GREAT resource (2) Use Handy Men & Mrs Helper. It's a great way to get projects implemented well. (3) If you are lucky enough to get Scott assigned to your projects, stuff will get done PERFECTLY

This was a large multi-faceted redecorating job in a house we just purchased. We had very specific ideas about what we wanted done in some places, not so specific in others. We appreciated Rod's suggestions on the tasks we weren't as specific on, several of which we accepted and are thrilled with the results. We were happy to find one single contractor who could complete so many varied tasks and yet still work along with the schedules we had previously setup with other contractors involved in the project. The whole project went as smoothly as we could've hoped and we are extremely pleased with the results. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to anyone else.
Description of Work: Painted 9 rooms, removed large mirrors, removed and added lights, removed old cabinets, rerouted some piping, installed tile in the kitchen, installed granite countertop tiles, installed panelling in basement, built a bar.

The work was performed by Rod Southard (owner) and Jay (a subcontractor). Rod and Jay were very professional and easy to work with. We were very impressed with the quality of their work, their efficiency, promptness, and work ethic. They were here when they said they would be and completed the job in about 2 weeks. We had high expectations on what our kitchen renovation would add to our home. Rod and Jay over delivered! We are absolutely thrilled with the results and the changes have transformed our home. These guys pay attention to the details and obviously take great pride in their work. Overall, we feel that we got good value for our money. We enjoyed working with Rod and his wife Faith - they are very nice people and run a good business. We would definitely use Mr. Handymen & Mrs. Helper for future work and would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Renovated kitchen by removing wall and installing island, ductwork and electrical. Installed new lighting fixtures and repaired ceiling. Repaired walls and replaced trim work.

Owner quickly responded to call and arranged for worker within two business days. Scott, the handyman, was exceptional. He was on time, polite, and explained everything thoroughly. Designed and built the shelf to meet our needs. Explained why the garbage disposal wasn't working and showed us how to repair it ourselves if the problem should happen again. Hung everything with precision, and left materials for us to scrape the drywall since we are painting ourselves. Stayed 11 hours to completion of work without complaint. Even noticed a problem not on our list of repairs and attempted to repair without additional charge. Willing to take our hail damaged screens and work on them as time allows with no charge until they are re-installed in the spring. A truly wonderful company to work with.
Description of Work: Shelf was built over washer/dryer; 2ft by 2ft drywall repair, 1 ft by 1 ft drywall was scratched and needed repair; garbage disposal needed fixing, two heavy pictures were hung, a dry-erase board was hung very securely, curtain rod that had broken away was repaired, attempted to fix broken roller shades.

The repairman, Jay, arrived on time. He was very methodical, and thoroughly inspected all three fans as well as how they were vented. He inspected everything, and provided me with information, and options for me to make an informed decision on what I would like done. He was well organized, and worked efficiently to complete the work in a timely manner. I felt the price was reasonable, and will have them return in the Spring to complete other outside repairs I need done. I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Replaced two bathroom exhaust fans, and made drywall repairs where water damage and mold had occurred. Replaced, and relocated a third bathroom exhaust fan, and properly vented to outside. Made drywall repairs. Reinstalled heat duct cover in ceiling allowing it to properly open and close (original installation prevented it from being closed).

SCOTT CALLED TO TELL ME THAT HE WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND GOING TO BE SLIGHTLY LATE--WHICH I GREATLY APPRECIATED. HE WAS VERY POLITE AND ACCOMMODATING AND SEEMED TO HAVE A GOOD IDEA OF HOW TO PROCEED WITH ALL REPAIRS. I THOUGHT THAT THE PRICE WAS RATHER HIGH ($75/HOUR WITH A 4 HOUR MINIMUM PLUS $50 DRIVING FEE), BUT I NEEDED SOMEONE TO FIX THE FAN LIGHT, AND I KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT AN ELECTRICIAN WOULD HAVE COST A MINIMUM OF $90/HOUR. I DID NOT AT ALL FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE HAVING THIS MAN IN MY HOUSE. I WOULD USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN IN THE FUTURE, JUST BECAUSE OF THE QUALITY OF THE HANDYMAN WHO CAME AND THE PEOPLE WITH WHOM I DEALT ON THE TELEPHONE.
