I got in contact with Master Handymen in February for 6-10 odd jobs. They responded quickly and worked cheap and well. The problem is that one of the odd jobs was to fix a leaky furnace. They came out, cut a hole in my ceiling, and told me they needed to order a part. A couple weeks later, the guy came back out but told me he ordered the wrong part. A couple weeks later, no responses to my calls. It's been four months now and they have completely ghosted me. I paid them for half of the 6-10 jobs as the deposit. But the biggest job remains unfinished and no one returns my phone calls or emails. So I still have a leaky furnace. And I have a 3' x 3' hole in my hallway ceiling for four months.
Description of Work: Patching some concrete, patching some drywall, fixing an exterior water spigot, repairing a leaky furnace. See above.

I was so pleased with the quality of Master Handymen's work as well as their expediency in getting it done. Gino was very communicative and quick w/ his estimate, which enabled us to start the work pretty much immediately (which was needed as the bathroom was unusable for my tenant due to a pipe break underneath). I plan to use them for any small project needs for my unit and highly recommend them to any other owners that may not be handy (like me) to get needed work done efficiently and effectively.
Description of Work: They replaced the floorboard that was rotted due to water damage from a broken pipe as well as the entire floor tile. They also replaced shower wall tile around the tub and resealed everything. Lastly, they fixed numerous shutoff gaskets, reinstalled the pedestal sink, and painted any areas that required it.

Gino responded quickly and provided a written proposal based on pictures & measurements I provided. When we were trying to decide between 2 competitive quotes we invited Gino onsite to confirm (or modify) the proposal. The work was scheduled within a week of me obtaining the specific tile I wanted for the repair. The workers arrived on time and cleaned up when they were finished. The repair was done very professionally. I'm very happy with the end result.

This is the second time we have used Master Handymen in Chicago. The first was many years ago for a punch list while selling a condo. This summer, we had years' worth of jobs ready for Gino and his team. Gino responded quickly to my initial email and came out to see our long list of jobs (some larger, such as installing gutters on our garage for a water barrel and demolishing and rebuilding our deck from house down to backyard patio). All work was done efficiently and very well! We met many team members, including Omar and Rodolfo. They were all professional. We're SO PLEASED with the work that was done for us! Highly recommend Master Handymen!! Attaching a picture of our new, gorgeous and sturdy deck (Master Handymen will return in a couple of weeks to apply stain). 5 Stars!
Description of Work: Rebuild back landing, repair and paint rusted metal railing, seal sidewalk along house, install gutters on garage, other miscellaneous work.

We couldn’t be happier with the work that Master Handymen did on a rental property for us. They delivered earlier than the projected time, communication was frequent and friendly, and everything was done perfectly. Gino and his team were great to work with- all very nice and thoughtful. Our property is almost 100 years old, and we had some tricky elements to navigate, but Gino solved all of our plumbing and electrical issues to help us bring the kitchen and bathroom up to date. The pricing was fair and transparent. I’m a first -time homeowner, and Gino and his team were really helpful in teaching my husband and I about various aspects of home maintenance, too. I will definitely use Master Handymen again!

Response from Master Handymen
I am sorry the Angie's List customer received no replies. Going back 3 months, we have no record of any Angie's List message requests under this name. We have no record of any voicemails (Google voice) under this name either. Since he left no phone number, there is no way to see if there are voicemails from his phone number.

I've used Master Handymen for many years. Most of the time it was for smaller projects, like electrical, and fixing things around the house. I recently used them to remodel my bathroom, and repair/replace a bunch of stuff in anticipation of selling my house. The repairs and remodel were extensive enough to take a few days to complete. Gino sent over a written quote and contract, detailing all the work to be done. He worked with my schedule to find the dates. The workers arrived on time. They put down plastic everywhere to contain the dust and dirt, even on the stairs. The bathroom remodel involved moving and replacing plumbing, putting up drywall, and installing a very large vanity and mirror. They finished off a room in my basement with drywall, and replaced a few large sections in another room of my basement because of damage and removal due to foundation crack repairs. They installed all new baseboards, and primed all the new drywall. They also upgraded many of my light fixtures and outlets to bring them up to code, repaired a kitchen cabinet, and replaced my range hood and kitchen faucet. The guys were all friendly, and they worked hard, only taking a break for lunch. When they left, the house was cleaner than it was when they got there. The price was very reasonable, and well worth it. I would recommend Master Handymen for any project, large or small!

I never received a response either by phone or message. It's so easy to message on Angie's List. No communication whatsoever is just a horrible sign of bad organization or manners...either way it's inexcusable.

Master Handymen received Mr. [Member Name Removed]'s message through Angie's List Wednesday, December 13 at 9:53am. We responded through Angie's List at 10:28am the same day requesting client information as well as pictures of the issue he wished to have taken care of so we could determine the next steps. We cannot explain why Mr. [Member Name Removed] never received our response through Angie's List.

I called on Friday. The voice message says to submit a form via their website. I then did this but did not hear back. Their site also says if you do not hear from us in 48 hours email us your request directly. I did this on Tuesday. It is now Thursday and I haven't heard a thing. I have moved on and will hire another company to do the work.

Response from Master Handymen
We sincerely apologize to Mr. [Member Name Removed] for the lack of reply. It was certainly not our intent to not respond to your communication. In fact, we responded to the first two communications with Mr. [Member Name Removed] the same day which is within the response time we shoot for. When we received this review, we were able to track down the communication. The size information you sent to us in your final email was lost due to a clerical error as it got assigned to the incorrect email folder. This occurred during a period of changeover in our office staff. I completely understand if you do not wish to ever do business with us in the future. However, if you are willing to give us another chance, I will personally oversee your project from start to finish. If you wish to speak with me directly, you may contact me at the number on our main page or request a call from me through Angie's list message or email communication. I will make myself available at your convenience. Gino Stingaciu Owner Master Handymen

Radhu came out on June 9 2016 to provide estimate on storm door painting and garage trim replacement. Gino - owner - never responded after my follow-up June 10 at 12pm. He responded to my voicemail at 6:30pm June 10 because I said I was leaving a poor review on Angie's List. A wast of time.

Response from Master Handymen
We did see Ms. [Member Name Removed] on the morning of June 9. We told her, as we tell everyone, that we would follow-up with a quote for her work within 48-72 hours. Gino did not immediately follow-up with her the next day because he was in the field working. He did follow-up with her when he arrived back in the office at 6:30. Additionally, we did not charge her $100 (we are not sure where that is coming from as shown in the review). We do not charge for visits and quotes. We are sorry this did not work out, but Master Handymen was prepared to provide a quote within our normal time frame. We also do not believe that our response time to her follow-up was unreasonable. We get back to our clients as soon as possible based on when we are in the field and when we are in the office. We are not a 24-hour/day operation nor do we have someone in the office throughout our work day, every day. Expectations are fine so long as they are reasonable. We do not feel as if we were being held to reasonable expectations in this case.
