He sent another handyman and he worked very well and he did everything very quickly. It wasn't Gary himself because he attended a wedding or something like that but he did arrange and made a plan for a guy to come. The price was a great value.
Description of Work: I used the "Deal" from Gary's Handyman Service for handyman.

Response to my initial inquiry was great as was providing the estimate, deciding to do the work and getting the work done. The new door looks great and the plates will definitely prevent it from being able to be pried open in the future.
Description of Work: Replace metal garage entry door and add two plates to each garage entry door (2) to prevent being able to pry them open.

Wanted to find a smaller company to do some odd jobs around our condo: hang ceiling fans, a couple light fixtures and hang some book shelves as well. Gary sent Carlos out to do the work, he was friendly and did the job in under four hours. After he left we realized that one of the outlets was not working and the dimmer on one of the light fixtures wasn't working properly either. Called Gary and they were back out the following Monday to fix for free. Would and will hire again.
Description of Work: Great service, reasonable prices and good follow through from start to finish.

Carlos is the man! He had a can-do attitude and was happy to help me out, I think he was even whistling while he worked. I would use them again in a second and probably will pretty soon for some odds/ends around the house.

Overall good experience I would use this service again for these kinds of projects.
Description of Work: Installion of no frame one sided sliding glass shower door. This was a two man job so I did need to help by holding shower door for placement. Ceramic tile was very hard to drill into but the handyman kept at it without damage to overall look. I would not want to install this kind of shower door by myself so it was worth the price. Handyman came prepared and completed the work in 3 hours.

This was the fastest service of a handyman ever. He was done in about 15 seconds - no really. However, the handyman is scheduled to come back out in the Spring to expand on the repair of the door frame.
Description of Work: Removed an obstruction from a door jam so that the storm door could close easily. Provided new screws for lock strike plate on storm door.

Gary and his team were great! They worked with me to fix a gas leak and sink mounting and drainage issue. They were timely and finished the job early. Since they were done early I requested they help me on another job for extra pay. They declined the extra pay and completed my extra task. That's pretty awesome!!! Thanks Gary and Co!!!!

Gary made three trips. One to quote the work. Second to remove the tile and rotten base underneath, allowing a couple days for the interior to wall and studs to dry out. And the third time to install the support base, at the correct angle to allow water drainage, and then installed solid one piece marble shelving, which he had ordered, and sealed the edges. It looked beautiful and has also been completely functional. Throughout the entire process Gary was professional and a pleasure to deal with. I will definitely continue to use Gary's service going forward.
Description of Work: This is the second time I have used Gary. I had two tile shelves (approx 2' wide by 1' deep) under a window in shower/bath enclosures. They had been improperly built so the water wouldn't drain. It damaged the grout and was leaking inside the walls.

first time with this company using an angies super deal for 2 hours of service. gary returned my call to get a sense of my honey-do list, to select appropriate worker to send and tools. I chose to purchase needed materials that he identified - he offered to purchase and charge his cost. Carlos came on time and could not have been more helpful. Worked efficiently, answered questions. Very happy with results! Would definitely recommend this company and hire them again for future needs.
Description of Work: replaced door handles, locked door handle, garage door maintenance, cleaned gutters (this task depends on height of home), evaluation of malfunctioning garbage disposal.

We played phone tag with Gary for a day would be the only minus I have for Gary otherwise they provide superb service and an excellent price. We have used them a couple of times now and find that they give you the benefit of the doubt when it comes to charging you on the time. Carlos their plumbing guy has come out and we will ask for him again.

In an Angie's List special deal, I purchased two hours of handyman services. This was a new condo that I just purchased and needed some misc. items completed before move-in: shelving put up in closets, medicine cabinet installed, etc. Gary was very responsive to scheduling the date, was very professional during his visit (and extremely tidy), and did top-notch work. When I need additional handyman work, I won't hesitate to hire him again.

Response from Gary's Home and Bathroom Remodeling
Member called me on Tuesday the 20th requesting a call back regarding a leaky toilet. We had a backload of phone calls to be returned because of the holiday rush. (The week before Thanksgiving is typically extremely busy). I was doing my best to call customers back in the order that I received their messages. Unfortunately, I was unable to return his call before we closed down on Thrusday through Sunday for the holiday. I regret not being able to call him back sooner and understand his point of view.

The worker picked up the door which was not the style I wanted,it would probably have to be ordered given the measurements I needed. Iam satisfied with the door he installed . their were gaps between door frame and wall,which I took care of my self. He also had to take the door back because they gave him the wrong size. It was a learning experience for me . would use Gary's service again.
Description of Work: the worker did the job in a timely manner and cleaned up after he was done.

There was some confusion in the beginning because the handyman did not show up at the right time. After some phone calls with the Gary, we found that the handyman had shown up, tried to contact me through my building's directory (which is not connected properly), and then left. An honest mistake, and one that was corrected for when the handyman came back to do the job. The handyman ran out to his truck to get stronger anchors because he didn't feel the ones that came with the hood and the cabinet were strong enough. There was no extra charge. The job was simple, he got everything mounted and consulted with me about the exact height placements. He finished before the two hours were up and was asking if we had anything else we'd like him to do. I was very pleased with the work and would hire them again if I needed similar jobs done in the future.
Description of Work: Mounted a heavy range hood above my stove and mounted a wall cabinet in the bathroom. Drilled a hole in the cabinet to run the hood's cord to a socket.

Carols removed the old fixtures, prepared the area to install the new fixtures and was very specific with the details. He communicated well and confirmed his understanding of what I wanted done. The then installed the new fixtures, checked to make sure they worked correctly and finally finished up and cleaned up. It really could not have gone better.
Description of Work: Great experience with Gary's Handyman Services. Carlos was the one who came to my home to perform the work. He was running a few minutes late but called and it was not an issue. The quality of work was superb, detailed and Carlos cleaned up at the end such that it was cleaner than when he arrived. Carlos did a great job of explaining why he was installing the lighting fixtures and confirmed that it would look the way I wanted them to look when he was finished. I highly recommend Gary's Handyman Service as well as Carlos. It was a great experience over all and I would be happy to hire them again in the future.

Carlos arrived early and looked over the situation. Then, he went to get the necessary supplies. When he returned my 2 hours of service began. He removed the old material and refilled it. He also cleaned up the area when he was finished. I was very pleased with the job that was done and completed within the 2 hour window

Gary was on time, very polite and professional, and fixed our problem quickly and easily. When he was finished, he even charged us less than the original estimate because he made me aware of an Angie's List special that I hadn't seen. We would definitely call him again if we had more work to be done.
Description of Work: We needed a screen replaced, one that that could only be installed from the outside and was on an upper floor of our condo building so it was too high for us to do the work ourselves.
