I can refer him, I would give him an excellent rating, definitely! Yes, very good! He was very honest about saying, ?Well if it was a bigger thing, that they could handle, but they took a look and determined it was actually a problem with my washing machine. It was under that and it was leaking back there. They actually went with me to get the washing machine and bought it back. So, they were really helpful. In fact, they were the only ones that responded to me, and I called several people. They responded the fasted, after they did I had several others. They were willing to take care of it right now for me and the others, it was going to be a while. They got me in!
Description of Work: We thought we had a bigger issue with a leak in our floor.

I contacted Jeff via Angie's list and set up a date/time for him to come out to my house. The first time he was supposed to come out I called after he was 10 minutes late to ask if he was still coming and he said they were stuck at a job and would plan to be out later. He then called me at the later time to tell me he needed to reschedule and would confirm with me later in the week. After not hearing from him again later in the week as we had discussed, I reached out to him and set up a time for him to come out and take a look at the projects we were wanting done. He came out, we talked about what I was wanting down, and wrote things down. When he left the plan was for him to take a couple days and then get back to me with a quote. After not hearing from him for two weeks, I reached out yet again only for him to tell me his partner was injured and he would not be able to do any work for me until the end of November. I asked if he could at least send over the quote since I took the the time to set up two different times for us to meet with he didn't even respond. To add to that, the entire time he was here, it was as if he had a lot going on and didn't have the time for the projects I was asking. My thoughts are that if he truly is that busy then why not be honest and decline the work. It was a huge waste of time for me and very unprofessional.

Thank you for the great review, it was great working for you guys!
Jeff arrived at the time he indicated. He called the previous day to confirm our list and the time. The work was completed as promised, both time wise and quality wise. They were happy to answer any questions that I posed regarding the projects and I feel they did a professional job. I will definitely call again.
Description of Work: My list included ceiling painting, fan installation, gutter cleaning and repair, replacement of a gfi unit and doorbell repair.

Thank you [Member Name Removed] for the great review. We really enjoyed working with you on your home repairs and improvements! Jeff
Jeff and Robert are great. They knew we were under a tight deadline and they worked us into their schedule by working nights. Jeff identified some issues that would have come up during inspection and called us to see if we wanted them fixed. They took care of getting parts and materials we needed so they didn't have to wait on us and the jobs could get down faster. We were pleased with all of the work they did and grateful for the speedy service.
Description of Work: We were trying to get our rental property ready for sale. We had hired Jeff to do install some doors and we were very happy with him so we hired him again to do several things including repairing a gate, replacing vinyl siding, tighten electrical receptacles, replacing a kitchen faucet, replacing damaged boards around back door, drywall replacement and installing some lights and other fixtures.
Jeff and Rob are consummate professionals, show up on time, get straight to work and they get the job done. I have worked with Jeff for many years fixing various things in my home and never hesitate to give him a call if I need help. I know they will be there as soon as their schedule allows, even on weekends (which is a great relief - not having to take time off work to wait around). I highly recommend giving your handyman business to Jeff Ashcraft.
Description of Work: I have used Jeff as a handyman for many years. He has installed light fixtures, fixed drywall, helped remove mirrors, the list goes on.

I called Jeff on a Saturday to get a quote for installing 2 doors (1 exterior and 1 interior). I told him we had a short timeline as we needed to get the rental house listed to sell. Jeff and his partner came out the next day (Sunday). Went with my husband to buy the doors and then installed them that same day. The doors look great. He also walked through the house and identified some issues that would come up during inspection. We will be hiring him again to assist with getting these items fixed.
Description of Work: We had a rental property that we were preparing to sell and needed 2 doors replaced.

Rick charged by the hour so things ended up costing more that we had thought. He was on time and very friendly and personable. However, while hanging a fixture he was a little careless and let some of the prism fall to the ground. He also broke a candle in my bathroom. He offered to replace it, but didn't. On two of the light fixtures he hung without putting the casing on so that there is a gaping hole in the ceiling. He said that he'd come back out and finish it, but then said that he would charge. It seemed like he was doing double work. He did not clean up after himself.
Description of Work: Rick installed some light fixtures.

Response from Your Handyman-Jeff Ashcraft
I am very sorry to see that this person is so very unhappy with my work. The name on this complaint is not the name of the person on the invoice I have from that job. The price stated here is $800, but the invoice says $288 labor plus $77 parts. Not to mention they are complaining about a job that was done 3-6-15. If I was that bad why complain a year later. I am well known for cleaning up after myself on all jobs, not sure what is going on here. Plus if I broke anything, I replace it ,or I take the cost of it off my bill. Which ever the customer wants. So if I did nothing that is because the customer said," not to worry about it". My work is guaranteed for 90 days. If I needed to come back for any reason there would be NO CHARGE. So again not sure what is going on here. I do all my work as if it were my house . How would I want it done, and that is the way I do it. Unless told other wise. Over all I believe I may have been mistaken for another handyman in this location. If they want to call, and talk about this, I will gladly come, and fix what ever I did not do, and replace the candle. Thank You for your comment have a wonderful day.

It was obvious from the start that Rick was experienced and knowledgable,.Worked his way through a list of tasks throughout the house in a systematic way. Although the day started a little late, Rick insisted on working until finishing around 730pm, instead of returning at a future date. Price was as our original quote.
Description of Work: General inside electrical. Added some needed GFIs, replaced two outdoor sockets, replaced several indoor switches, wired/installed a wall light in the office and installed a ceiling fan.

Rick is fantastic! This was the 2nd time I hired him. He not only accomplished all of the tasks on the checklist but also ran to the store to get the correct items (I purchased incorrect ones) and fixed a couple of things not on the list and didn't charge me. Rick is a gentleman and very thorough in his work. I absolutely recommend him!
Rick Cox is great. To the point, on time, doesn't make promises he does not keep. Tells you when to not waste your money.

This person led me to believe he worked with Dan and Rick. Dan and Rick never returned my initial call or my calls when I had problems. Dan and Rick have never called to see if this person they refer has done a good job or bad job. If Your Handyman has a good rating on Angie's then shame on Angie's.
Description of Work: Called Dan @ Your Handyman, and just as another review on Angie's List, he gave my number to JT Sylvester. Your Handyman number was given to me by a Flooring company that I will not name here. They have since removed Your Handyman cards.

One of the worst experiences we have had with handymen/contractors. I called Dan Barksdale and left a message. I got a call back from a guy called JT Sylvester who said he was working with Dan and that they are all part of the same team. He said that since Dan is getting old it is JT that is now doing the "big projects." We decided to go with him based on the reviews at Angie's List. This was a big mistake. It turned out that JT Sylvester himself did little of the work and instead had others come and do the vast majority of the job while he must have been juggling other projects at the same time. I later realized that professionally he was unable to do most of the construction work. I did not feel he was always honest with me but so long as the work continued -- albeit not always fast -- I decided not to challenge him on that. Part of the job required rerouting some of the furnace ducts in the basement to create space for a higher ceiling. I began complaining to JT that we don't get air in half of the house as a result of their work in the basement. JT gave me all kinds of excuses and said they were working on it. Then, while working on fixing the problem the furnace was shut down and they were unable to restart it. I called a furnace company who restarted it and also told me that the duct work they did does not make any sense. Not only that it cannot provide air to half of the house (our bedrooms) but that the furnace is overheating because there is not enough intake and outflow air. We paid an extra $3000 for a professional heating company to fix this mess. JT then put the blame on one of his workers rather than taking the responsibility himself. We have scheduled twice with him to come and finish the job - and twice he had excuses why he cannot come. Unfortunately, we have already paid him for the job except for small final touch ups (and the fixing of the ceiling after the new ducts were put in place) so he had not "reason" to return and finish the job. We now have to pay for another handyman to finish the job. BTW, when the furnace company fixed the problem, they had to remove part of the ceiling, including the bathroom fan. They found out that the fan was capped with a tape, so when turned on it just made noise without actually sucking any air out of the bathroom. For me this was just another example of his poor performance.
Description of Work: The provider built a bathroom in our basement and tiled the basement floor and in the process also killed out furnace.

In reply to [Member name removed] remarks, Rick and Dan were not aware that this work was being performed. It is unfortunate that he experienced difficulties with the contractor who performed the work. Our suggestion would be that he continue to work directly with the contractor to resolve any open issues.

they were friendly, easy to work with, honest and as far as the drywall and ptching- patient and did an excellent job- cant tell wher it is, also went ahead and patched an existing crack in the wall. he made two- 3 trips to make sure the job was done right- and ddn't charge me extra!!
Description of Work: installed overhead microwave and added electrical outlet, also patched dry wall small section and linoleum patch.
Provided an initial estimate to replace screens and some wood trim pieces that were rotted. After taking down the screens and wood, he found that a lot more of the wood was rotted than we initially thought. He replaced all of the foundation around the screens as well as trim pieces. This included purchasing supplies, priming/painting, caulking, putting up new screens/wood, and hauling away old wood. He kept the work area very clean. The job took several days due to the drying time for the paint, however he kept me notified along the way. I would use this service again.
Description of Work: He replaced screens in large screened in porch area and replaced rotted wood around the screens and porch.

This went awesome! I contacted Rick on 06.09.15 and he came over on 06.13.15 to mount the 2 Tv's, he worked very quickly and installed the Tv's perfectly. He was even able to figure out the wall mounts that were already on or Tv's! Will be using his services again soon!
