Angel Handy Services Co

The guy is great! He did a good job, promptly and was courteous to my tenant. Someone threw a stone through my tenants window and looked all over for a board up service before calling Brian. The board up services didn't want to do it because it was such a small job. The only one who was willing to do it wouldn't come until the next day! I needed him immediately because I could not get there myself from 60 miles away and Brian went there within an hour of the initial call. I couldn't ask for better service.

Fantastic. The shutters needed a little readjustment to fit and he invented a way to fill some space so that the shutters fit beautifully and look perfect.

Everything went well. He was a little late getting here but once here he got busy and got things done. I was very impressed at how hard he worked. He did a good job on everything he did.

The cost is about 3000 and the date is approximate, the project was to drywall a room with a closet and the ceiling. He quoted 1 price and went back on it and asked for almost twice. The time total was almost 3 months to get just the 1 room done. Once done, he missed parts on the wall and ceiling. It wast flush and overall poorly done. He also wired the outlets and lighting/switches then wired it to the box. Since that time, i have electoral issues where my fuse box pops when you use the microwave/toaster (I have replaced both and still have the same issue). He was late or never showed up when he stated he would be on site. I helped him put in the ceiling! but he still wanted to charge me almost twice the original quote. I would not go back to him and I would suggest that none else does.

Again, called Brian at 11 am to schedule an appoint, he had an opening stopped by to change a mirror and to replace a toliet seat. He was wonderful and will definately use him for all my future handyman services.

Owner stopped by to see the damage in the evening and the next it was all fixed by the time I got home from work. Looks great.

He was very professional and did the work as performed. It was an excellent experience and will use him again!

Brian arrived on time and estimated that it would take him the day to do the work. (He charges $50 an hour/$400 day. He suggested skipping the Cable Organizer/Power Kit and just adding a normal outlet behind the mount where the TV would be installed. It was a $60 part and he felt it was more cost effective to just add the outlet. He also was able to take a wall plate and modify it to run the cables (HDMI, Optical) through the wall from the TV to behind the components near the floor. Initially Brian had to go to Menards, near my house, for the electrical supplies. Work commenced upon his return. One outlet had to be added near the floor for my components to be plugged in and one outlet had to be added higher up on the wall behind the TV mount. We do have access to the back of that wall through the garage, so Brian did make some small drywall cuts in the rear wall which he repaired upon completion. After the electrical was finished, Brian installed the wall mount for the TV and it looks great. The final touch was to run the cables for the TV from the mount area to the floor area. It was kind of tough to fish them through the wall but, after watching him try to get the wires through for a few minutes, I offered to help since I have a skinny arm. Once I stuck my scrawny arm in the wall and grabbed the cables, work was just about complete. Brian cleaned up after himself and did a fine job of fixing the drywall in my garage wall. He was also kind enough to leave me some wall repair plaster because I had a few small holes (unrelated to his work) that I needed to fill in. I will definitely call him as soon as our budget allows for our next home improvement project!

Brian always returns my call in a timely fashion, shows up when he says he will, accurately estimates probable cost. and does the work well. I have reviewed before, so don't really have a story to tell--but I continue to view Brian as "my" handyman.

Brian was able to determine the problem and fix a leak for us. He made several different trips to our home and even tho it was a small job he treated it like it was the most important job he ever had. We really appreciated the time and effort he put into fixing the problem and for being so personable. It was a pleasure having him in our home. I would definately call Brian if I ever have any kind of repair problem.

They were very prompt and courteous, showed up on time and they finsihed things in a timely manner!

Very good ... he determined that it was not the smoke detector, but a carbon monoxide detector that was beeping.

Wife's comments: First of all, I have to say that I really love my new bathroom. The finished product is wonderful. With that said: there were some unforseen issues that occurred, like having to send the bathtub back twice. First time it arrived with a crack on one corner, second time there were several spots that the acrylic had not been applied adequately during manufacturing. Neither of these things being the handyman's fault. I was informed of all these problems as they occurred, and the handyman seemed to be fairly skilled in dealing with them. BUT, I feel that the verbal estimate that was given prior to starting the project was misleading. The total (final) cost was given as somewhere between $5000 and $6000. I was lead to believe that it included all materials, as well as basic (cheaper) tub, vanity, toilet, flooring, shower tile, and light fixtures. After purchasing these items myself, along with ceramic tile for the floor and some materials used to apply it, the final bill I received was still approximately $6000, with $5000 of that labor alone. I realize that I had changed my mind about flooring, and decided to put in ceramic tile instead of vinyl, which may have accounted for some increase in material and labor costs, but I still feel that the final bill was high. I do not have an issue with the cost of materials used, mainly with the labor costs and the time it took to complete the work. My husband had called several bathroom remodeling places and been given an average labor cost of $3000 to $3500 for all the work we had had done, with the job completed in 1 week. With the problems encountered during the job, I assume those estimates may have been low, but that is still a difference of $1500 to $2000. And 3 to 4 weeks is simply too long to deal with not having a working shower. The fact that he works alone may account for the prolonged length of time it took to complete this job. Husband's comments: He was here way too long, he said 2 weeks, it took him 4 weeks. He charged way too much money for labor when he was really standing around accomplishing nothing most of the time. He also over-charged for the materials and would not give any receipts. This is the worst experience i have ever had with a handyman and would never recommend him to anyone.

We got them off of Angie's List. He's a pleasant guy as far as that goes. He talked continuously and it took a lot of time. He didn't use a tester for anything. He'd go to the store and then come back and then say he had to go back to the store, etc. and it took up a lot of time. It's nice that he likes to explain stuff but he spent way too much time explaining stuff. We had an exterior light that wasn't working and my husband had a new one in case it was the light that was bad. So he took off the old light and put on the new one and when he turned it on it still didn't work. So he did something. A little later he tried to switch again and it did work so he left it that way. Now it will work sometimes and sometimes it didn't. We will have to hire someone else to come out and figure out why that light doesn't work. he stuck a screw driver in the socket to short it out and in the process he made our stove and freezer quit working. 2 weeks later we smelled something horrible and found out the freezer had stopped working. He did the electric for the dryer hook up. For what he did I think the price was a little high. He was well groomed, nice and pleasant but he wasn't professional in his work. He left it at there must be a short somewhere and didn't have a meter to check it out.

The first time he was here, he did a good job for the yard maintenance. I really like him, very responsive for my initial phone call. He came to the house, met with us and we explain the scope of the work we would like him to do. He told us when he's coming and he came as he promised, did the work and completed the job nicely.

The handyman that came out was excellent with everything he did. I paid $400 for the first day, which was a full day's work and then $200 for the second day, which was for about five hours. He was very personable. He knew what he was doing. He told me about the things that he was unsure of, he told me right up front and told me what he would recommend on those jobs. So I had somebody else do the little things that he didn't do but he was very up front about that. He didn't charge me for any of the running ground he did. He was very good in his pricing.

I called Bryan, he called right back, came out assessed the job, and set a date for service. He arrived on time, did the job, and came back to finish. Kept in touch with me throughout, and was very tidy, professional, and RELIABLE.

We had to have the pump that is in the basement, because we have a well out here, upgraded. We kept having problems with our pump turning on and off. We didn't realize our pump was too small. We finally had someone come out and look at it and see what the problem was. He told us it is a holding tank for water and it is too small. It was turning on and off all of the time because it was having to draw water all of the time and it could end up burning the well out. We investigated and the price was right on where it should be. The quality of the work was excellent and he was very responsive, within a week. He was here on time. I am going to use him again in the future for electrical work.

I like that he shows up and can do the job. He does an excellent job at a great price.

He is very good at what he does and stands behind his work and I've had him do numerous things. He's no relation, friend, but he is a hard worker and I'm very satisfied. He mows my lawn, and has done numerous repairs in my home to include a stool removal and replacement.

He came on the day that was discussed did a great job and was very professional.

His esitmate for gutter installations and repair was reasonable, so we chose him, as we were on a budget. As my husband had a specific gutter leaf product in mind, he ordered it and when it came, tried to install it. Unfortunately, the house was not built to usual standards and he had to ship the product back and replace it with one that would fit. When the replacement product came, he installed it in two days. He had other jobs that often conflicted with the on-going projects at the house, and he lost our phone number more than once, so we never knew when to expect him. When I called him, he did answer the phone and set up a new date to come to the house. When he did come, he usually completed whatever job he tackeled. The roof leak is repaired, the foot is replaced, and the bathroom ceiling replastered. Saying that, he failed to clean the plaster off the bathroom wall, and left all the material behind on the floor. Instead of cladding the wood frames (which we found out were rotten), he replaced the frames with weatherproof plastic frames. Again, we appreciated his finding the material for us. However, he left all the rotten wood lying on the ground. He purchased long-term light bulbs to replace the broken one that was mis-centered above the stair landing, and after a lot of effort, replaced the light. (This must have taken a long time, as that part of the bill was $60.) If he hadn't lost our number so much and turned up when he said he would, and if he was more detail oriented at the finish of a job, we would use him again. As it is, however, I don't think we will call him again.

We were happy with his work. He was a nice guy, good about giving us an estimate, and did the work within the estimate provided. We were pleased overall.

I talked to them on the phone and they had an attitude that didn't seem like they wanted to do the work for me.

He was professional and punctual. I trusted having him in my home.
