We offer a 1-year warranty on all of our work. We called the customer as soon as we saw this review & have scheduled a craftsman out to make the necessary repairs per our warranty. We appreciate all feedback & work hard to ensure customer satisfaction. Thank you! Handyman Matters
Fantastic! We are very pleased with the final installation. They were the only firm that drew up a design that was exactly what we wanted, almost like reading our minds. Others tried but their designs were not satisfactory as we still had to look at the stair railing system when we spent time in the rec room. We did not have any issue with the design Laurel and Jeremy presented, exactly what we envisioned. Wow!
Description of Work: We were out of time (literally few days to go) to meet a mortgage lenders requirement to install a stair handrail system going downstairs into our rec room. It was a safety concern of a possible accident because of the open stairs and no railing. Five firms made bids, but there designs and pricing were not acceptable. We contacted Laurel (owner) who immediately came out with one of her associates (Jeremy) to review our needs. They immediately saw what we wanted, drew out a perfect design and we approved. Then Laurel drove me to Home Depot to secure all of the supplies, paint, railings, etc. and Jeremy installed a prefect stair handrail system, beyond what we expected, in less than a half day. Mortgage Lender viewed and immediately approved. We were, and continue to be, very, very pleased with the railing system and are extremely pleased with the professionalism, attention to detail, friendliness, full explanation of the project, pricing, and outstanding customer service Ms. Laurel Thompson and her team demonstrated throughout the entire process from the first telephonic conversation until they completed the project and departed. She then followed up shortly thereafter to ensure there were no outstanding issues and that we were pleased. YES WE ARE!!! Laurel and her team deserve an "atta girl / boy!!!!!! Thank you so very much. We would recommend Ms. Thompson in a heart beat for anyone's handyman needs.

Craftsman was courteous, but left work area dirty. Tracked dust from grout and tile cutting into the house. Also left paint stains on the driveway that Handyman came and removed after most of the project was done. Craftsman had to return to complete caulking that was incomplete after initial completion date. Overall work completed was fair. Would not recommend.
Description of Work: Contacted Handymam to get a quote for take down install of kitchen backsplash.

They did want some money to come out. They responded. The first one was August 9th and I had to reschedule, and then the second one was August 16th. I figured out I probably wasn’t going to purchase the home. I initially contacted them on July 28th. I thought they were thorough, very professional, very, very expensive. The total cost for all their project work, I had them break it up into 4 parts, painting, basement, shed and tearing down the shed, possibly. That was $8,000, $14,000 & $5,000, so I was looking at $27,000. Which they wanted to do, which was ridiculous. As far as responsiveness and what I had ask them to do, they were fine. They have every right to price whatever they want. The prices were pretty high. They were good with responses. The owner was professional and very thorough. I would probably not use them because of their prices. It was great service, but it was very pricey.
Description of Work: I wanted an estimate. They never came out. Laura Thompson sent me a quote on August 12th.

Mike and Daryl come in to save our doors! They shaved them down, drilled the holes for door handles and put on the hardware. They were friendly and professional and we had a few laughs. After 3 months of remodeling a house with frustrating contractors along the way, it was refreshing to have people who cared about giving us a great outcome.
Description of Work: We purchased custom doors from a local box store and the clerk told us to buy the doors at 24 inches wide and they would cut them to the standard door width, they didn't know what they were talking about and we received 24 inch wide doors that did not fit. We needed seven doors shaved down so We could hang them and close them.

Exceeded my expectations. James did an excellent job. After pulling off some of the damaged exterior, he found additional damage to some interior studs. After picking up more materials, he fixed those also. After finishing, you can't tell where the patch was made, except the wood rot is gone. Excellent job matching the surrounding exterior finish.

They gave good explanations. The weather messed with them and it took longer than what they thought. Bu they still adhered to the original estimate. Over all they did a really nice job. They were really nice to work with. They were a little pricey. Everything but the painting was an A. When he painted the front door he only put one coating on so I had to go back over and paint it. But he the painting on the house he did good on. I would use them again in the future.

I don’t write many reviews, but felt I should with this company. Laurel the owner was nice and courteous and very prompt with her bid. I feel her company is probably okay with small projects. I feel Laurel doesn’t bid projects like ours often because her workers had to leave several times to pick up more supplies and wood. Also, we had to take away the electrical bid from her because she wanted $3063 and a master electrician charged us $595 for the same work. That is a savings of almost $2500. So we have to wonder if she overcharged us for the other work. Our project was to finish a basement room approx. 9x19. Over 1/3 of the room had drywall up already. I don’t believe the room was in her scope of work. The employees that were actually her employees did a good job and seemed like detail orientated professionals. The other sub- contractors she used were sloppy and not detail orientated. They didn’t listen when my mom advised them about cutting the drywall before attempting to take it downstairs. They said “we do this all the time and it will be okay.” Well they put a hole in the wall and had to bring it back up to the garage and cut it. The hole was repaired. If I had been home, they would have been told to leave. Drywall mud was many places it shouldn’t have been. The doorway was left unfinished. Scrapes were left and the walls weren’t prepped for painting. The painters got paint on the already finished baseboards and barn door rail. Laurel tried to make things correct and for the most part the room is fine, but I would have expected professionals to take more pride in their work. If you use this company, my advice would be stay on top of them. Laurel said to both of us “it is hard to look at a project in the middle and be able to see the final product. Most of our clients don’t look until it is done.” Well we aren’t the kind of people to not look at the progress. We have discovered a very deeply scratched mini refrigerator top and a slightly scratched bathroom sink since they left. The only people working were her crew and it seems they have no regard for other people’s property.

When we left this job the customer was very happy with our work. I have been working with the same drywall subcontractor for years. I have never gotten a complaint on him. He is also highly rated on Angie's list with hundreds of reviews. If anyone has ever had drywall work done, you know it can not be looked at during the process. It is very messy and this was a small area to bring drywall into. The end result was exactly what they wanted. I asked if they would wait until we were completely done. We need to be given the opportunity to fix items we find before a final walk thru. Drywall companies are not used to someone watching them daily and telling them on how they do their job. As far as the electrician, goes, there is no possible way we estimated the same job. The material alone would have come up to close to $400. New breakers, wiring of and running 8 new can lights, wiring and running 6 new outlets, switches and pull light in the mechanical room. I was not contacted until after the home owners mother was extremely frustrated and angry, I could have made the experience much better for them. I pride myself on my attentiveness to my customers needs. I am always on call for all my customers, and this job was just a few miles from the office. I would have come over at any time to resolve the issues as they were happening. I am sorry for any frustration or aggravation my company caused this customer. Laurie Thompson-owner

It goes good, that's why I hired them more than one time actually. They are pretty responsive.
Description of Work: They were last here to fix a bathroom shower, the grout was not properly there among some tiles and was coming out so they fixed all the tiles and everything. They applied chalks for all the tiles.
Great! Laurel, the contractor, always communicated in a timely manner so that I knew who would be in my home at what time to do what work. There was a minor glitch with replumbing the shower which resulted in some ceiling damage which they went above and beyond in repairing on their own dime. We're getting ready to have her come bid some more things on the never-ending "honey do" list.
Description of Work: Bathroom remodeled (shower/tub/floor tile installed after floor demo, shower replumbed, vanity top replaced, new toilet installed, painted, ceiling fan installed); ceiling repaired (popcorn removed and flat finished); external window wood rot repair; gutters cleaned.
