They did an excellent job. His name was Mitch. We have a standby insurance company to do the hail job. He came and fixed it. It was when there was ice on everybody?s roof and the water ran into everybody?s home. There were 2 jobs to be done; the ceiling and the roof. We did not have to pay anything out of the pocket for the ceiling. The roof was paid for by the insurance company. There was nothing they could do about it so they went up and repaired it for $4000. That was out of pocket.
Description of Work: The Handwork Corporation is a handyman service we used to do the roofing job in February.

Mitch Handwork did the work for my mother in 2000. I moved in her house in 2002 and wrote him a letter with the problems and received no response. I've just recently called him again in 2006 because I had to spend $3000 more dollars on work he did. He will not respond. I have consulted my attorney for legal advice.
Description of Work: Mitch appeared to a perfect helpful gentlemen. He performed $25,000 in home improvements for my mother: crawl space work/sagging floor, floor joist/sil plates in a back bedroom and master bathroom and a whole bathroom and kitchen remodel. He hung kitchen cabinets and got state of the art appliances. Well 1.5 years later, my mother passed away and I moved in the home. I talked to him about doing some remodeling for me. Thank God...I did not use him. After being in the home a month, I've had $12,000 worth of work done on the crawl space and as I was sitting on the couch and one of the cabinets fell off of the wall and smashed all of my dishes. I had to have some one come to put it back up...and they discovered that the cabinets had been glued up and not nailed. I have never received a response and am trying to reach them now. He just will not respond.

Based on this experience, I would highly recommend this company and plan to use them to paint the interior of my home.
Description of Work: Repaired hail damage to my home, including new roof, guttering and window screens. Mitch was very helpful and responsive in explaining the work to be done. Provided solid references. Despite very rainy weather, the work was done in a timely manner. Workmen were considerate and hard working. This was a very positive experience.

WE HAD A RECENT REPAIR COVERED BY THE INSURANCE OF A LOCAL APPLIANCE COMPANY. THEY SENT HANDWORK TO COMPLETE THE JOB. THEY DID SUCH AN EXCELLENT JOB, WE HIRED THEM FOR A NEW BUSINESS OPENING. THE WORK WAS EXCELLENT AND COMPLETED ON TIME. ANY PROBLEMS THAT AROSE WERE QUICKLY FIXED - THEY EVEN REPAINTED THE WALLS AT NO COST WHEN I REALIZED THE ORIGINAL COLOR I HAD PICKED WAS AWFUL! THE FINISHED PRODUCT LOOKS GREAT. WE OFTEN GET COMPLIMENTS ON THE STORE. WE ARE PLANNING SOME HOME IMPROVEMENTS IN THE FUTURE AND DEFINITELY PLAN TO USE HANDWORK.

WHEN I CALLED THE COMPANY THEY CAME OUT AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE. WHEN JOB WAS TO BEGIN, A DIFFERENT GUY CAME OUT AND HAD NO CLUE WHAT THE FIRST GUY AND I HAD TALKED ABOUT. THE SECOND GUY GOT SICK AND WAS NOT ABLE TO DO JOB. THEY THEN SENT A THIRD GUY, WHICH HAD NOT COMMUNICATED WITH THE FIRST TWO GENTLEMAN. THEN THEY SENT A TOTALLY NEW CREW WHO HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS TO BE DONE. FINALLY THEY DID CONTACT THE FIRST GUY I SPOKE WITH AND WHO WAS TO DO THE WORK. IN THE PROCESS OF DOING WORK THEY CHIPPED WINDOW FRAME(COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS THE SILL). I CALLED THE COMPANY AND THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I CALLED AGAIN AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPAIR IT. THEY FIXED THE FRAME, BUT NOT THE SILL, WHICH WAS WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY STARTED PAINTING THE EXTERIOR OF THE HOUSE AND PAINTED OVER THE WINDOWS THAT NEEDED REPAIR. IN TOTAL THEY DAMAGED 3 WINDOWS ON FRONT OF HOUSE. THE WINDOWS WERE ROTTED AND SOME WAS NOT THEIR FAULT. THE PROJECT WAS TO TAKE A WEEK AND ENDED UP TAKING 3 WEE
Description of Work: TOTAL NEW INSTALLATION OF HARDI- PLANK SIDING. PAINTING OF EXTERIOR AND CARPENTRY FOR WINDOW FRAME REPAIR.

I''VE NEVER DEALT WITH A COMPANY SO ALL AROUND BAD. IT WAS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. EVEN THOUGH SOME OF THE WORK IS NOT SATISFACTORILY COMPLETED, I JUST WANTED THEM OUT OF MY HOUSE.
Description of Work: THIS CO WAS HIRED TO CORRECT INSPECTION ITEMS. THE WORK WASN''T COMPLETED PRIOR TO MY MOVE IN. IT''S TAKEN OVER 2 MONTHS TO COMPLETE THE JOB & REDO THEIR SHODDY WORK. ALL THAT WAS LEFT WAS TO PAINT A WALL, REPLACE THE BASEBOARD, CORRECT THE SLOPPY EXTERIOR PAINTING DONE BY THEM, AND WRAP A PIPE. THE WORKMANSHIP WAS CARELESS, AT TIMES DAYS WOULD PASS BEFORE A PHONE CALL WAS RETURNED, THEY DIDN''T SHOW UP AS SCHEDULED OR CALL TO CANCEL. THE ORIGINAL ITEMS INCLUDED EXTERIOR WOOD REPAIR & REPAINTING. THE PAINT STILL ISN''T THE CORRECT COLOR & INITIALLY THE BROWN TRIM PAINT WAS LEFT RUNNING DOWN INTO THE CREAM. CONSTRUCTION DEBRIS WAS LEFT IN THE BASEMENT WINDOW WELLS. (APPROX 2-3 WHEEL BARRELS OF STUCCO AND WOOD) THEY HAD TO BE ASKED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CLEAN IT OUT. THE BASEBOARD WAS CUT TOO SHORT & THEY HAD TO RETURN & PIECE IT TOGETHER. I PAINTED THE WALL, AS I GOT TIRED OF WAITING. PRIOR TO MOVE IN THEY COMPLETED ELECTRICAL WORK & REPAIRED TERMITE DAMAGE & WOOD ROT.

THEY WERE JUST WONDERFUL. MITCH, THE OWNER, WAS VERY PERSONABLE, COOPERATIVE, FRIENDLY, AND THEY DID WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO WHEN THEN SAID THEY WOULD DO IT. THEY HAULED AWAY ALL THEIR MATERIALS INCLUDING AN OLD DESK I WAS TRYING TO GET RID OF. THEY TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE PROBLEM SO I COULD SEE WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. I WAS VERY PLEASED

AFTER ONE WEEK OF NOT HEARING, WE CONTACTED THE COMPANY TO DETERMINE THE STATUS OF OUR ESTIMATE. A COMPANY SPOKESPERSON SAID HE WOULD CHECK WITH MITCH TO SEE WHAT HE COULD FIND OUT. HE TOOK MY NAME ALONG WITH HOME AND WORK PHONE NUMBERS. ITS BEEN OVER SIX WEEKS SINCE MITCH CAME TO OUR HOME AND WE HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A PHONE CALL OR ESTIMATE IN THE MAIL. IF HES NOT INTERESTED IN DOING THE JOB OR IS TOO BUSY TO GIVE US THE ESTIMATE HE PROMISED, THEN A COURTESY NOTIFICATION WOULD HAVE BEEN APPRECIATED INSTEAD OF JUST IGNORING A POTENTIAL CUSTOMER.
Description of Work: I CONTACTED THE COMPANY IN REGARD TO SOME REPAIR AND/OR REPLACEMENT OF CEDAR SIDING. MITCH HANDWORK RETURNED MY CALL WITHIN TWO HOURS THEN CAME TO OUR HOME THE FOLLOWING WEEK TO EXAMINE THE SIDING AND REVIEW A COUPLE OTHER SMALL REPAIRS WE WISHED TO HAVE COMPLETED. HE SAID HE WOULD WRITE UP AN ESTIMATE AND MAIL IT TO US.

THIS WAS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT ALWAYS RETURNED MY CALLS TIMELY. THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO MAKE SURE THE JOB WAS DONE RIGHT. THEY WERE ALSO EXTREMELY REASONABLY PRICED.

THEY CAME OUT TO OUR HOME, PROMPTLY, PROFESSIONAL AND VERY EFFICIENTLY. THEY WORKED VERY HARD EVERYDAY AND DID A VERY FINE JOB. THEY WERE ABSOLUTELY TREMENDOUS. THEY CLEANED UP VERY WELL. THEY ALSO HAD THE PAINTERS COME IN WHICH WERE GREAT ALSO. AFTER THE JOB EVERYDAY , THE SUPERVISOR CAME OUT AND EVALUATED THE WORK DONE THAT DAY. THEY DID NOT ACCEPT ANY PAYMENT UNTIL THE JOB WAS COMPLETELY DONE. THEY WERE SO CUSTOMER ORIENTED, IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.
