We found him in the magazine and decided to use him. He had a coupon that he honored, from the book. His estimate was higher than what he charged, because he ended up using less than he first thought. He did a great job.
Description of Work: He replaced the wood rafters in our shed and re-installed the roofing again.

Good...only problem was time it took for contractor to get back with me regarding bid. Had to call them back to schedule appointment, but once a time was established to do the work, it was completed within the very next business day. Very professional and on the ball. Will use again the next time we need a handyman!!
Description of Work: Repaired a hole in the upper corner/roof of our home, where a squirrel had chewed through the house and made a nest in our home. Also repaired a screen door that we'd been having trouble with.

It went alright, but he did not leave a space in between the boards as I had requested. They also seemed a little reluctant to honor their discount through angies list, and only took off $60 of the $100 coupon. He is a very hard worker and could do a good job but seems to benefit from constant supervision.
Description of Work: He replaced 25 rotten deck boards.

All good work and called to come early. Quick and well done. I was not happy about the clean up. Only large pieces of scraps were picked up. I had to vacuum and wash the floor twice to get the particles of drywall up. An excellent job of repairing the wallpaper. Very pleasant personality.
Description of Work: A drywall repair to a hole in the bathroom wall from where the doorknob went through the wall. Wall paper had to be cut, matched and put up.

Called the office and scheduled a time to give an overview of the work that needed to be done. I received an estimate and the handyman gave me his mobile number to call him and schedule a time. I called and after two days of no response I called the office to schedule a time. The handyman called me 30 minutes prior to the appointment to tell me that he was a day behind schedule and would not be able to honor the appointment. I had taken a vacation day to be at home for the appointment and could not reschedule. I canceled the service.
Description of Work: No service performed.

Response from Rent A Handyman
IN RESPONSE TO THE MEMBER'S COMMENTS, WE ARE VERY SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE WE MAY HAVE CAUSED. JERRY COMPTON WAS THE HANDYMAN ON THIS JOB AND HAS BEEN WITH US FOR SOMETIME. OUR HANDYMAN JERRY WAS ON ANOTHER JOB AND DOING HIS BEST TO COMPLETE IT SO HE COULD GET TO THE MEMBER'S PROJECT, HE SIMPLY COULD NOT COMPLETE THE WORK IN TIME. THE PROBLEM HERE IS HE SHOULD HAVE NOTIFIED THE MEMBER THE NIGHT BEFORE INSTEAD OF WAITING THAT MORNING BEFORE HE WAS TO ARRIVE. IN DEFENSE OF JERRY, HE WAS TRYING SO HARD TO TRY TO COMPLETE THE LAST JOB THAT HE DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR HIS TIME PROPERLY. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT FOR US IN THE CONTRACTING BUSINESS TO GET SCHEDULED UP TO TIGHT, SOMETIMES CERTAIN WORK WILL TAKE A LITTLE MORE TIME AND SOMETIMES THE CUSTOMER WOULD LIKE A FEW EXTRA THINGS DONE. WE HAVE HAD A VERY PLEASANT TALK WITH THE MEMBER AND HE LIKED OUR HANDYMAN, JERRY. I'M SURE HE WILL CALL US AGAIN.

Called Rent a Handyman and set up estimate. Office was very professional. Chuck called and set up time to do the bid. He came out and gave me a bid and was very professional. I called him back a couple of days later and left a message that I wanted to proceed with work. He called back and said great but he didn't have his calendar and would have to call me back the next day. He never called back. I tried reaching him one more time without success. I didn't want to chase him to get him to do the work. I went with another company.
Description of Work: Bid on gutter, kitchen and bathroom work.

IN RESPONSE TO THE MEMBER'S REPORT, I'M VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE MIX UP AND THE COMMUNICATION. OUR HANDYMAN CHUCK IS A WONDERFUL WORKER AND IN MOST CASES PROMPT IN CALLING BACK. HE CLAIMS HE TRIED TO REACH THE MEMBER, BUT I'M SURE HE COULD HAVE BEEN MORE PERSISTENT. WE HAVE HAD A VERY PLEASANT TALK WITH THE MEMBER AND I'M SURE SHE UNDERSTANDS WE WILL TRY NOT TO LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.

Over all he appeared a nice person and did a great job. He was punctual and professional. We are satisfied with his work
Description of Work: We had rotting wood and sinking support poles of the deck. This needed fixing as it was uneven. It also appeared additional cement base will be needed to fix the support poles. Mr. Compton came and gave an estimate, which was about half the estimate amount, given by others. He came and did a great job. Now it looks even and sturdy. He was professional and did work within two days. We are satisfied with his work and price.

It went great. Chase gave me an accurate estimate and was polite and respectful. He came a little late but called me before the time he was to show up and explained. He still had no problem getting all the work done on time. The work was performed well and he cleaned up after himself. He even noticed a loose handle on my storm door and fixed it for me!
Description of Work: I had various jobs to be done around the house. Dry rot around a window sill, replacing four doorknobs and deadbolts, repairing drywall.

We contacted Chase Cunningham at Rent A Handyman about painting where wood rot had been repaired. He came to our house and gave us a bid for the work. He returned a few days later to do the painting. The painting looks great and the actual cost was lower than his bid because Chase was able to complete the job in less time than he estimated on his bid. We are very pleased with his work and would recommend him to others.

Phil did extremely good work and was very good to deal with. With creative thinking and very good craftsmanship, he solved problems with some of our interior doors that we expected to require door and/or door frame replacement and to cost several thousand dollars. We couldn't be more happy with Phil's work - if we weren't moving out of town in the next few months, I'm sure we would use this company again and again. Thanks, Phil!

Michael did the estimate and made suggestions for how best to repair. After the siding was removed, it was apparent that some additional work was required to replace some structural supports that also had wood rot. He did a great job working with the problem and finished the job in a reasonable time.

Much measuring, sawing and drilling was required on the new door (which was why we didn't do it ourselves). Handyman capably installed new door over a couple of hours. He had to go buy 2 new drill bits during the job, and he did remark that it was one of the most complex storm doors he's ever installed, especially since it has a bottom and top closer that had to be set just right so the door closed easily. He also had to drill the holes for the handle. There's a small gap at the bottom on one side of the frame that I need to fill with some insulation, but the other side was measured and cut just right. Overall, the job was done well and soon after I called.
Description of Work: Had old storm door (in front doorway) removed and new one installed.

The handyman Joe came out and gave the estimate on the work. He scheduled a date and when it rained he was good about setting another scheduled date. The work was done quickly. The difficulty lied in the work being on the second story of a two story home. I have not had any further problems with leaks.
Description of Work: Three Storm windows on second floor needed to be fitted better to house to stop leaking. Gutters were suspected for another leak long a window sill. They were to be hammered in. Two woodpecker holes around second floor needed to be filled and painted.

The entire job took only 2 days between my first call to Rent A Handyman and completion of the job. Arlen worked tirelessly for an entire day. These were new rails, so he had to design them in addition to building them, and he did a great job matching them to the existing trim on our house.
Description of Work: Arlen built wooden hand rails along the concrete steps at our front door. The end posts were set into the ground, so he had to dig a couple of holes. He also built railings around the rest of the porch.

I called the company to set up an appointment. The contact person was very friendly and helpful. A handyman called me shortly after that to schedule a time for the installation, which was in two days time. He was friendly and helpful on the phone, explaining what I would need for the installation. The installation of the facet was quick (approximately 45 minutes) and done well. The only thing I didn't like was I had a coupon from the contractor's website that I wanted to use and the handyman seemed displeased I was using it. They have a minimum charge of $119 for two hours and I had a $25 off coupon. I think $94 for 45 minutes of work is more than fair. I'm a widow who is the sole income provided (like a lot of women and men) and have limited funds, so I really didn't appreciate this reaction. Besides this one negative incident, the work that was done well and I will use the contractor again.

Michael came out in a timely manner to provide an estimate. I compared a couple of estimates, and theirs was responsibly priced for the work asked to be performed. A detail breakout of the estimate was provided for labor in addition to an approximate quote was identified for materials. Due to the depth of wood rot on one window, I thought the window would need to be replaced. Michael showed me which windows needed to be replaced (seals broken), and which ones he could repair that would save me the cost of replacement. The quality of work met/exceeded my expectation. All workspace was cleaned up thoroughly. I am pleased to have found a handyman that I trust that does quality work for a reasonable price. I will definitely be using him again in the future as needs arise.
Description of Work: Replaced Wood Rot on 3 windows and replaced 2 panels of siding that had warped and became damaged. This included painting and caulking the siding and the PVC sills/brick molding.

They performed the work in a 2-day period and it was done much to our satisfaction. We would definitely hire Rent A Handyman again.
Description of Work: The stairs on our deck had become unstable and wobbly. We were in a hurry to get the work done as we were wanting to put our house up for sale. However, most places we called not only made us wait to get an estimate but had us waiting up to one month to get the work done. One estimate we got was for $2500. We called Rent A Handyman, and they were able to send someone over to give us an estimate right away. Their estimate was only $750.
