We needed 7 ceiling fans installed in our new house. I found Mr Handy Dan on Angie's List and he came out a couple of days later and installed all 7 fans. All of the fans look great and we haven't had any problems with any of them.

I purchased a large Native American rug but was unsure how to hang it on my living room wall. Dan came out to my house, took a look at the rug, and suggested that I purchase some heavy duty velcro tape and a long length of wood 3 inches in width. When I obtained the materials, he came back out and hung the rug in 15 minutes.
Description of Work: Dan hung a large Native American rug on my living room wall. It looks great and he was very efficient. He is very friendly and professional. In addition, he replaced several bulbs in my cathedral ceiling. He does his work carefully and maneuvered a large ladder into my living room without leaving a mark anywhere.
It wnet great. I would definately recommend Dan for any household handyman services.
Description of Work: Dan performed a number of jobs on several different occasions. He provided detailed estimates upfront, showed up on time and completed the work in a timely manor. Jobs performed included rescreening our porch, replaced 3 facuets in the bathrooms, installed a granite countertop in bathroom and installed a new entry door from garage.

Everything went very well. He was efficient and skilled at his work. I will definitely be hiring him again.
Description of Work: Prior to hiring Handy Dan, I had a couple of estimates from other companies completed for a few jobs at my home, but I had a gut instinct that told me to look elsewhere. I immediately felt very comfortable hiring Dan Higgins because of his professionalism and helpfulness right from the start. He seemed very trustworthy. He helped us to find our shutoff valve for the water, even before hiring him (which the other guy did not do). He also gave us some good advice on other projects. Because he was so helpful right from the start I wanted to continue working with him. Hiring Handy Dan proved to be a good decision because he was skilled and efficient at fixing the following list of jobs at our home: *Fixed water spigot *Fixed doorbell *Fixed Shutters *Caulked Bay Window

Mr. Handy Dan was prompt, professional, accurate, and reasonable. He took time to ask the appropriate questions, offer specific suggesions, and even went to the store to buy additional items (that we thought we had, but didn't). He is credible, licensed, insured, and instills confidence in his work -- all while being down-to-earth and friendly.
Description of Work: Mr. Handy Dan purchased, installed, and inspected several (70+) LED lightbulbs for our can lights for our new home. He also installed several (15+) dimmer switches.

On a thursday at 9:30pm, after I had removed a stormdoor and the lower section of a doorframe to replace some rotting wood, I realized I had neither the time or the talent to fix the frame properly. I had a showing in a little over 36 hours and this was going to make a horrible first impression. I got on Angies list and started looking for door repair and read some of the reviews for the top rated people. I called Dan first based on his reviews and his proximity to my house. I was expecting an answering machine, but he answered the phone. I needed help and I needed it fast. He said he would be able to come over on Friday afternoon. Even then I was not hopeful it could be repaired in time. On Friday, he called early in the morning and said he was able to come over. He came over, looked at the issue, and said how much it would be and said he would fix it. I then said that I had some other doors that needed to be replaced because my other door guy had not shown up. His co-worker started working on those and Dan started working on the big door problem. In 4 hours they were finished with both tasks, and you can not even tell that there was any problem with the door or that anything had been replaced, it looked brand new, and the storm door functioned better then ever before. I even asked about a closet that another handyman was going to look at, a closet which had never worked right in 8 years. He noticed the bracket was the wrong type, and I was able to fix it myself that evening. He even tacked up the trim above the closet for me, no charge. I know some people get busy or in high demand from time to time, but getting this guy is well worth it.
Description of Work: Replaced broken doors and fixed dry rot door frame.
My wife and I were absolutely happy with Dan's knowledge of handyman projects. His expertise covered all the interior work we had planned.
Description of Work: Dad is the most reliable 'handyman' my wife and I have ever used. He was prompt, reliable, and did all the details to our expectations. We had a list of several indoor projects, and Dan got all of them done within a day or two. As I write this, we have already started a new list for 'Handyman Dan LLC."

I called Mr Dan Handy Man, based on reviews on this site. The first time I called, he said he was on a ladder and asked me to send an email, which I did, detailing what I was interested in.I did this, and followed up a few days later. We had scheduled an appointment for a week or so later, for him to come out and give me an estimate. He never showed up.I understand that a small business owner can be really busy. I even told him in the second call, "just tell me if you are too busy and I will call someone else. No harm, no foul."
Description of Work: No service were performed, I couldn't get him to my home for an estimate.

He's worked us for many times over the past year or so. He's been great. This last time he didn't even charge for the small service. He's even given me free advice over the phone! He also stows & retrieves out deck furniture ever year - twice a year.
Description of Work: He cleaned debris from a drain in our rain trough.
We have also used Dan for years for all types of projects around the house. We have used him for work on our previous three houses and plan to use him in our new home that we just purchased. Dan always provides very fair and competitive quotes, takes pride in his work and has always been prompt and professional with us. Any time anyone asks if I "have a guy" for work on a house, I send them to Dan!

I was very impressed with him, we were very pleased. I have recommended other people to him. I had checked the pricing with a couple of other people first. He gave us a flat price and our job was little trickier than most because he had to pull all the electrical because there hadn't been one before, but he stuck with the price he promised.

Description of Work: Mr. Dan was recommended and did perform an estimate. his work seemed good and remained so for about 2weeks. Then it all fell apart and closer inspespection the revealed the poor quality of the work. He did send someone out to fix and it lasted only a bit longer. By the time I was able to talk with him he said sorry, warranty is up. Review is late because only a recent member.

All of my work is guarranteed and to the satisfaction of my customers, as I only as good as the work I do which i stand behind. Please call me so we can get this resolved, and this report off of Angies List. Thank you. Dan

Any or all of his work was bad. Anything you asked him to do, he tried to get out of it. It just wasn't good. Whatever he did was crappy. He said he would show up, and he didn't show up. He was responsive. He would look at you and tell you he's not going to do it. I would want Angie's List to take him off the list. I wouldn't want other people to go through what we went through. I would say that he's a con man.

Response from Mr Handy Dan LLC
This has to be one of the worst customers I've ever had to deal with. He thought he was his own contractor and built an addition onto his home, starting the addition in 2007 and had on contractor to fall and die on the job. Everything about the addition is a total disaster and not done to code. His electrical was wrong, his heating and cooling was not installed and it was installed wrong, his plumbing is wrong, his framing was wrong and most of all his drywall contractor was horrible. They installed half inch drywall vertically and then they had another contractor install another quarter inch layer over the top of the half inch horizonally, making the walls three quarters of a inch thick. They hired me to attempt to resolove the drywall issues through-out the addition. Whoever did the initial drywall did an horrible job and I told him that my repairs might work if and only if the space is heated. We stated the job last fall and got it all done and it looked perfect and they never turned the heat on to the addition and most if not all the cracks reappeared. When I went back in the spring at his request, the cracks were back and then they had a real heating and cooling company out to properly install the heat ducts which required them to be in the attic and it popped most every seam we had fixed twice before. Enough was enough,...these people had used multiple and muliple contractors becasue they had no direction, no intelligence about building and codes and certainly no common sense. His guy had no cell phone, no email and otherwise no way to contact other than leave notes on the garage door to have him call me..which he rarely did and I was there for three solid weeks. I had gone way over my estiamte but wanted to help them out and worked extremely hard at fixing the drywall issues even after the HVAC company was done. I am a mulitple year Super Service Award winner only becasue I am extremely detailed and stand behind my work but when dealing with this type if customer that doesn't understand that the initial drywaller is the casue of the problem. Here they are just trying to discredit me and point blame for something I didn't cause Sort of funny how when we last spoke, he was very happy with everything, thanked me countless times, and told me there's a lot more work to be done. He had wanted me to do the tiling in his kitchen and the master bath. He had yet another contractor to lay the first half of the tile and didn't know where the tile came from, so I spent 4 hours driving to 6 tilers shops until I found it. His wife had called me 2 weeks ago asking where the tile came from, so I told her, but knew that they chose another contractor. That's ok, win some and loose some, but here they seemingly have a bit of hostility toward me but I don't share the same for them. I am not a con artist of any sort and resent the implication, but what I am is extremely busy helping normal homeowners with their repairs and home improvement projects. I apologize for the lengthy response, but I thought a detailed response was needed to explain the service we provided.

He didn't call me back right away, he did a good job fixing the tubing though.
Description of Work: He just replaced the tubing behind the drier that fills with lint. He charged me for travelling time and did not tell me this at first. His price, $90, was too much for this service.

Response from Mr Handy Dan LLC
Its very difilcult to call everyone back "right away" as I am doing jobs for my customers. My company is composed for 2 people and we work extremely hard at getting the jobs done. Sometimes I will be in an attic, or crawl space or up on a ladder and just not in a position to call them back....for that all I can say is I'm sorry but I do try to call everyone back. As to this customer, she needed a new 4" elbow and a new dryer hose, for which I took the time to go to Lowes, purchase both items, return and install them. I have a minimum charge for my services and with the purchase of the needed materials, her total was $90. Very reasonable considering what had to be done, and I told her what the charge was going to be and she agreed to it. I will try to do a better job at the communication, but sometimes limited by my circumstances.
He is doing a wonderful job. So far I have paid him $1,000 and it is going to end up being about $2,900. I am recommending him to all my friends.
Description of Work: I am using Mr. Handy Dan to do quite a bit of work. He is doing ceramic tile, woodworking, building poured concrete steps up to my front porch, replacing two doors in my family room, installing a new medicine cabinet and two new lights on either side, repairing the kitchen floor, cleaning the gutters, repairing a light in the family room, interior painting, replacing a toilet and repairing windows in a back bedroom.

Dan was very responsive. He talked through pricing on the phone with me and was available to come within the next day or two. He was very friendly and professional as he worked through my task list. He patched a huge hole in the wall, and we wanted him to hang a shelving unit above it. We also wanted to paint the room and initially figured that we would have Dan repair the wall and hang the unit, and we would paint after both tasks were done. However, he was willing to come back after we painted to hang the unit -- so we did the job in the most logical order. My small issue is that when he returned to hang the shelving, I asked Dan for an estimate re: an additional job. But he never got back to me. I did both email and call him and ask him to let me know if he wasn't interested in that particular job, but unfortunately, I haven't heard back from him. I assume he didn't want to do it.
