Overall, I had a great experience with Gary's Handyman & Bathroom Remodeling. They were the most professional and informative of the contractors that came to quote the work. The actual work was of high quality, and they left the condo clean. My only recommendation is to ensure a detailed quote is laid out before work begins, as there seemed to be some miscommunication between the project manager and the crew actually completing the work. A few of my change orders didn't seem to make it to the crew. That said, Jim, Wade and Ziggy were all very accommodating and responsive. Chalk it up to my first time remodeling.
Description of Work: Approximately 6'x7' bathroom remodel included demo, new floor and wall tile, new shower/tub fixtures, new vanity/sink fixtures, new vanity light, new toilet, fan, skim coating walls and painting. Left existing tub as is.

The guy was very nice. He did the work fast and correctly. He was a couple hours late because of the job before ours which wasn't a big deal to me. Chaz called and gave me a heads up.

To begin with, the estimate was on-time and useful, and Chaz in the front office is friendly, efficient and very easy to work with. As a single woman, I have gotten messed around with my contractors in the past, but not here! On the day of the work, Dale arrived exactly on time and got right to work. He got the demo and the vanity installation done well in time for the counter installation, then went methodically through every other part of the job, figured out what he needed, and was prepared for everything that happened the rest of the day. The new kitchen sink required a bigger hole in the counter, and an unexpected complete replacement of the pipes under the sink, which he handled with absolutely no fuss. The mirror in the bathroom had been hiding a nasty hole in the drywall, which he also patched quickly and efficiently. My new baseboards are not only neatly installed, but beautifully finished. Dale stayed late to finish everything, left very clean workspaces, and even arranged for a young man with a van to pick up the old sinks, counter and vanity the next day, so I didn't worry about how to dispose of them. I will definitely be going to Gary's for the last bits of finishing work in the bathroom (mostly trimming out the space between the vanity and the wall; Dale told me how to get a piece of matching trim), and for anything I need help with in the future.
Description of Work: Demo'd bathroom vanity and counter, installed new vanity, faucet and baseboards; removed and replaced kitchen sink and faucet, fixed plumbing to work with new sink, replaced toekicks.

I contacted Gary's to have some drywall repaired along with various other minor repairs. They responded promptly to my emails and arranged a service time. The handyman arrived promptly and performed all services in a professional manner. I am pleased with the work and would use their services again.

Gary was in contact with me through email and he called on the day he was coming over to do the work just to let us know he was on the way. He was punctual and professional and friendly. After a short discussion about altering a kitchen cabinet, Gary advised us to consult with a carpentry millwork company because just zipping off the bottom lip of the cabinet still would not give us enough height for the new refrigerator I wanted to purchase. Gary proceeded with the other items I wanted taken care of. He thought the other items would only take about an hour, however the heat vent register turned out to be a little more work because he had to chisel some of the tile out to get a proper fit for the new register. He told me it would probably take about 1/2 hour for that and asked if I just wanted him to replace the old one. I decided the 1/2 hour was worth getting rid of the old eye sore. Gary works evenings and weekends only which was great for my schedule. I didn't have to lose time from work to get these things done. I would not hesitate to call on him again should the need arise and I highly recommend him to all.
Description of Work: Gary installed a new doorbell, 2 new smoke alarms, a heat register cover and a toilet seat. Also, we discussed altering a kitchen cabinet that is above the refrigerator.

On the day of the work the workman called and said he finished his previous job early and wanted to know if he could start early. I said that would be fine and he quoted the time he was scheduled to arrive. He wasn't going to be late so that was good. When he arrived he came in to look at the job and said there were supposed to be two people on the job (that was supposed to take a half day but one called in sick so he could start the job himself. He was forthcoming and said all he would get done was the demo work but he would need to call the office to schedule a time to come out to finish and it would most likely be a couple of weeks. He said he could finish the job in one day by himself but since it was already mid-day he couldn?t finish today. I declined and requested they reschedule. He took measurements and made notes so they could come back with the proper materials the next time and just start he work and not have to go get them when they came back. The office called and was very apologetic and we rescheduled for another day and they volunteered to schedule it first thing in the day and block an entire day to make sure the work was completed the next time. The second visit the same workman came and arrived on time. It was only one man again but he had the whole day so he said he shouldn?t have a problem finishing today. He unloaded his tools, looked at the job and then announced he needed to go to the store to get the materials for the job. Okay, whatever. He finished the job that day but the drywall mud wasn?t drying as fast as expected so he could sand it and offered to come back the next afternoon to finish. I wanted to paint the next day and didn?t want to wait until the afternoon so I declined and he contacted the office so they could make a minor adjustment on the bill. In hindsight I should have had them do the work, it was a lot more than I anticipated. He did a good job and I?ve been happy with the results.

They were very good. They came out twice. They had fixed the ceiling light once before or they thought but we found out that there was a different issue and so they replaced the fixture itself. Their price was within the market price. Electricians are always expensive. It was an expensive proposition and with that being said, they had an appropriate price. They were not judging me and the quality of their work was very good. They were very attentive, very efficient, honest, very professional, very pleasant and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: The last time that I used Gary's Handyman Service was a month ago for replacing a ceiling light in my basement.

We had used Gary's handyman services in the past when he was a solo worker. Were very, very pleased with his work and his personality. However, the next time we called him he sent his assistant who did a sloppy job., we asked for an estimate for future work and he told us that he could do it for a much better price on his own than Gary would charge! Wanted us to set up the next job with him. Talk about stealing work from your boss! After that incident. have no longer used Gary's service

Aside from a scheduling hiccup, it went very well. The finished job is excellent, and I'm very pleased with it. The job was tricky because the depth of the new, inset wall portion had to be precisely correct or the whole job would have been pretty much ruined. Gary had optimistically anticipated that the work would be finished in one day, and Carlos, his carpenter, arrived around the appointed 9:00 a.m. time on Thursday, October 24. Very nearly the first thing Carlos said was that they would continue the work until the job was finished. I interpreted that to mean that if the work wasn't finished in Gary's predicted one day, he would return and finish it the next day. Around 4:00 p.m., Carlos said it was his quitting time, and I cheerily said, "ok, see you tomorrow." I was surprised and upset when Carlos replied that his schedule was full for at least the next two weeks and he didn't know when he would return to finish the job. He mentioned that an assistant who had been scheduled to work with him that day had been unable to come. I phoned Gary and left a voicemail message. Gary called me the next day and after a bit of discussion, said that Carlos and an assistant could come and finish the work on October 30 (six days later) around 1:00 p.m. On October 30, Carlos and his assistant came, finished the tiling, and installed the new toilet. They cleaned up very nicely, and I'm very pleased with Carlos's completed work and can recommend it wholeheartedly.
Description of Work: - Removed & replaced toilet; - Removed portion of bathroom wall and rebuilt it, insetting it from the surrounding walls to accommodate the in-set of new toilet; and - Then ceramic-tiled the new, inset portion of the wall.
