Angel Handy Services Co

Had an open circuit that took out half the lights in the basement.

Brian was very professional. Communication was timely. His job before me went long and he made sure I was aware of the delay. Very reasonable cost and he followed up later in the night to make sure everything was fine. Highly recommended.

Consummate professional, punctual and communicative. Appreciated the candor when assessing the work needed, as well as periodic checks for feedback or guidance on how to proceed. Very fairly priced. Even did followup work at no extra, when he could easily have skipped it. Excellent work.

It took some time to get it right, but overall a very good job. I will hire again.

His name is Brian Dougherty. He’s good. He does all kinds of stuff. He is a handyman, he does whatever I want him to do. I haven’t gotten the bill. He charges about $187 to do the gutters and the windows. I wouldn’t be hiring him unless I rated him an “A”. I think his price is reasonably. I don’t have anything to compare the price to. I think he does a very good job. He is very responsive. It’s just him that comes out.

He sprayed painted them, they are wrought iron. We have a little dog and he didn’t want to do it where the little dog could be licking them and so forth. I think he did a lovely job, they look great. I didn’t have to do it, so there forth the price was good.

I called Brian about a vent that 2 previous contractors could not do. Brian came the next day a resolved the problem. This is met first time using him. He is very professional and affordable. I will use him again

It went great. He is punctual, professional definitely will be hiring Brian again.

This was not our first experience with Angel Handy. Brian helped us with a number of projects when we moved in a few months ago. We are repeat customers because his professionalism, friendliness, and thoroughness are over the top. Brian works carefully and double checks to see that things are done right. He even made a follow-up call to make sure everything was working correctly. This last visit we had Brian install a kitchen faucet. The work went quickly and the new faucet works perfectly. Installing a ceiling light fixture in the guest room was a snap. And hanging a large mirror over the mantle was only held up for a few minutes while Brian made sure his mounting hardware would hold the mirror safely. Safety is a priority for Angel Handy. The last project, installing a ceiling fan/light fixture, was more of a challenge. First, the current ceiling electric box was not suitable for the fan. Brian returned with the correct box and bracket assembly. It was a tight squeeze in the attic, but the box was installed and ready for the fan. We opened the box only to find there were missing pieces (thank you Home Depot). We exchanged the fan and Brian came back to finish the job. This time everything was in the box and the install went smoothly. Even though it was not his fault, Brian refused to charge for having to make the extra trip. Before he left the fan was running without the slightest wobble.....Nice. We will definitely call Angel Handy for our next project, and highly recommend Brian for any home projects.

I contacted the provider, who said he was quite busy and looking at work 3 weeks out. I said that was fine, as I had a list of projects that needed completion. He asked what types of projects and I provided a list of several items including: Fix Siding Repair sliding doors Seal basement and garage cracks Fix Under Kitchen Sink Seal deck Build custom cabinet for kitchen? He said he would contact me the next day. He never called back.

Good, sturdy handrails. Stained well except inside of one spindle. Would have preferred a written quote.

My out of town elderly parents were putting their home an the market in Rockford, and I needed to find a trusted reliable handyman to help them with odds and ends of getting a house ready to sell. Brian was an absolute dream to work with! Repsctful, responsive, courteous to both myself and my parents -- He was so thoughtful of the work they needed. He ran the errands to Home depot to get supplies or ordered them where needed. He was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and efficient. Mom and Dad were so impressed they have called him several times sine to assist with small jobs around the house. I most strongly recommend Brian Angel!!! He is a lost breed and an absolute gem!

The work was done well and at the time we had scheduled. He's a good handyman.

It varies a little depending on how long it takes to clean the gutters. He's very reliable. I got him on the Angie's List. He was very prompt and did a very good job so I hired him ever since.

Angel Handy Services Co did a nice job with my estimate. He seemed to be a nice person, but I went with another company that had a little less expensive price. They came out really quick. I would get another quote from them.

The experience was very good. I told him a couple of times to stop working and rest, and he did, and I gave him some lemonade. He was a very nice guy. I think he found a job, and so he didn't have to continue working as a handy man.

I work around his schedule, basically, because I'm retired. He's a pretty decent kid. He does a good job, especially on the mowing. On the other stuff, he's a little higher priced than what I would like. On a couple of small paint jobs, such as painting around the front door, I thought he was pretty high. I didn't hire him for that.

Brian was very professional and did very high quality work. He brainstormed with me on what could be done to fix the grout tile problem we had in our kitchen, gave me several options for what type of door handle we could install and brought out samples of materials we could use for the projects. He worked carefully and efficiently. The fees for his work were very fair. Brian was very conscientious of my wishes, time and specific needs. We will definitely call him again when we need more help! :)

He recommended some repairs I chose not to make. My only complaint was that I was not given a written quote--just over the phone. It makes it harder for me to document the repairs. The work was done well.

If you need a handyman, I strongly recommend you look elsewhere. Brian was completely unprofessional: he failed to clean up after himself, failed to complete work in a timely fashion, needed multiple visits for basic measurements, failed to appear twice for scheduled appointments and was unapologetic for his no shows and the unreasonable amount of time it took him to complete the job. I hired him to complete a list of small repairs. He was able to accomplish all items but one on the list within about a week after hiring him. I hired him in early May and specifically stated that I wanted screens put in five windows for the summer. He finally delivered the screens five months later on September 26, 2013. He left them propped on my front porch and my husband ended up installing them. When I pointed out to Brian that five months is an unreasonable amount of time to wait for screens, especially when the whole point was to have them for summer, he responded that we never discussed a time frame for completing the job. In fact, at the time I hired him, he told me that the work should take no more than two days- of course, he failed to mention that those two days would be spread out over a five month period. He also claimed that it only took him two hours of labor to complete the screens but offered no explanation for why it took him five months to deliver them. I told him that I would be wiling to give him a second chance if he gave me a significant credit in light of the five month wait including spending the whole summer without screens. He claimed I was being "greedy" because he actually did me a favor by making screens which would have cost me 20% more if I had purchased screens from a store (it was clear that he did not care that I did not have screens for the summer, that I had to make multiple trips home to let him in because he couldn't measure the windows accurately the first or second time all of which cost me more in my own billable time than his "20% savings"). His courtesy for customers is limited to repeating "thank you for the opportunity to work on your home" ad nauseam. It is clear that Brian believes only his own time to be of value. He has no regard nor respect for the time of his customers. I should have cancelled the contract on the first day I hired him, when, after learning I am a lawyer, he asked me how he could sue a past customer for failure to pay (I would not be surprised if the non-payment was due to underperformance and overcharging by Brian). I gave him the benefit of the doubt instead- which turned out to be a mistake. I had to leave my office on multiple occasions to let Brian into the house to measure and re-measure and re-measure again the windows for the screens. Twice, he was a no show which was very frustrating as I am very busy and I also charge by the hour. After installing the attic ladder, he left piles of wood shavings in my hallway and on my front porch. When I came home from work, the first thing I had to do was vacuum which made me very unhappy- if he is going to charge $400 per day, he can darn well clean up after himself. I called him and told him I didn't appreciate having to clean up after him and he did not apologize for the inconvenience on that day or any other. He seems to believe that if he makes a good repair then overall professionalism including timeliness, dependability and good manners are unnecessary. I wondered if my experience was an aberration but see other reviews with similar complaints. I do not think he will maintain an A rating if he continues with this kind of hit/miss record. If you are willing to pay for excellent service- don't take a risk on this guy- definitely not worth the hassle.

Always promptly returned calls when we were discussing what needed to be done, and when to do it. Work was completed promptly, and quality was excellent. Picture of work done under sink is included in review.

It went well. Brian came on a Sunday, took out the window and boarded up the space. The replacement took a little longer than he had expected because the supplier had shipped the wrong size. Brian called us to tell us it would take longer, but that was no problem for us as the window was in the bathroom and not noticible from the outside. The new window was put in late afternoon on a Thursday, 2-3 weeks later.

It went great! Recently moved into a new house and as my husband is not very handy I went to Angie's List and found Brian. Called him and told him what I needed done and in a few days he came over and checked everything out and made notes as to what equipment he would need in order to complete the job. Had a big list of things for him to do and he completed all of them in one day. Brian take pride in his work and it shows. He was always careful before he did anyting to re-check with me to make sure he was doing it right. He was very polite and serious about doing a good job no matter what he was completing from my list. We will have him back in the future for any other repairs we may need. Thank you Brian!

He was prompt and courteous. A little high on the price. The price was "OK", considering that he needed to go to get parts.

It was great. They are very good. They are accurate on estimates and he's timely and he gets it done and complete it, cleans up and he used good materials.
