Rent A Handyman

Jerry was very polite and gave an accurate estimate. He was able to accommodate my schedule and came out to do the work about a week later. It was performed well and he was able to fix a couple of sagging door frames and also give me advice about light fixtures in my basement. He cleaned up well and it's great to have things working again! I was able to use the Rent A Handyman coupon and got a lot of good quality work done for a good price. I'm already making a list of future projects for Jerry!

Project went well; when there was a recurring problem, Robert came back and fixed it.

Jason did an outstanding job. He started with door and trim painting, and while the paint was drying between coats he would move to the next job. He always keeps busy and did not waste any time, yet was careful to do good job without rushing to finish. He paid attention to details while being very neat with each job. He cleaned up after each days work, and left everything clean at the end of the job. He was very professional and skilled in his work. Used good time management in completing his assigned tasks. In addition, Jason was extremely polite and mannerly to all members in our family. Overall, I would rate his quantity, quality, and dependability top notch! Please extend our appreciation to Jason for a job well done. Tom Greene

I was contacted by Jim Williams to schedule a free estimate within a few days of original call. We scheduled work to be done one week after acceptance of the proposal. I purchased $150 supply store gift card to cover material expenses as down payment for work. Jim and his crew showed up on time and performed the wood rot/painting work over two day period. Scheduled work on the miscellaneous plumbing jobs during the same week. After completion of all jobs, we noticed one board that had not been replaced and requested additional caulking under one window. Jim returned two weeks later (weather precluded fixing earlier) to finish the job to our satisfaction. Overall, we felt comfortable with Rent A Handyman throughout the process and would rate the experience "Good".

After my initial call, I received a call from Robert regarding an estimate. He was there within a day, and the estimate followed very soon thereafter. He told me he'd start and finish the job the following week, and he did just that. It took him two days as he said it would, and I was very pleased with his work. His estimate was considerably less than another I received, so I was doubly pleased.

Rent A Handyman responded to my initial email with a phone call to set up a time to see the work for an estimate that was completed on April 13. Work was completed to my satisfaction on April 20.

Nothing happened. Never called back after promising to schedule work.

General job management went poorly. Signed contract in mid-Feb and the job was supposed to start 3/12/07, but didn't start until 3/16/07 (they did call, but with so much advance notice, this was an unexpected inconvenience.) The electrician on the job, Tim, was excellent and I would highly recommend him! The person who ran the job, however, Jason, was horrible! He was highly inorganic, didn't seem to write things down and forgot them when he did. The electrician was constantly picking up the slack. As I said, I would highly recommend the electrician, but would never again use Jason. In the end, I was presented with a bill for $1400.00, even though we had previously agreed to $1300.00. Jason's lack of organization and follow through made the job very tense. My overall experience with the electrician was an A, with the project manager an F. I think you just need to ask for a different project manager.

Jim was the company man who quoted the job. He seemed knowledgeable and professional when he bid the work but we were 'put off' by his request for payment the second day on the job for work that wouldn't be complete until the end of that day. It had something to do with their pay day but we didn't think that was our problem. But as far as the work went, we couldn't be more pleased. Corey did a beautiful job on every project. He was friendly, polite and professional and got the job done efficiently. We were very pleased with the quality of the work and the pricing was very competitive with other firms.

They did a great job. We decided to just do the work on an hourly project since it was a bunch of small projects. The guy who did the work recommending simplifying one of the projects. He finished all the projects and it cost somewhat less than I thought it would. I asked them to bid on some insulation work, but he said it would be cheaper to work with another company. He gave me a recommendation for that work. They were great to work for. I'd definitely use them again.

He showed up on time and got right to work. He did the job and was very capable. He had to drill through the ceramic tile to install them and did great work. They came out separately to remove a gas fireplace in our basement. We then discussed installing a tub and then hired them to do so. Jim Williams is the key man, great to work with. He is very knowledgeable. The job kept expanding because we added new work to the punch list. We've really done everything on our own up until now and were going to purchase the tub ourselves, but he was able to get it from a supplier and saved us $1000 on the tub! Approximate cost includes materials. They did an excellent job and were detailed in their paperwork. I would definitely hire them again.

The company responded promptly to my telephone inquiry. Jason Cook came to the house at an agreed upon time and wrote a proposal. He asked my preferences when there were options, recommended replacement of a wood-rot-damaged window frame in conjunction with the siding and bid that extra work at a very reasonable rate. He performed the work just as we agreed, was responsive to my questions and very professional in his demeanor and workmanship - he is a very nice guy and did good work. I'm very pleased with the result and recommend Jason and Rent A Handyman highly!

Bruce was super nice and super good and I couldn't ask more from anyone. I thank you.

I ultimately had someone else do the job for $1200.

Jim and his crew were very good to work with and on time, price was good. Will use again.

The contract specified that payment was not provided until work was done. However, the agent, Jim Williams, asked for full payment a day before the work was completed; fully paying for work before completion goes against the contract and the common sense of any consumer. We would hire the company for other types of work, with reservations.

I did not dislike anything about them. Those motorcycles are pretty heavy. I don't think they'd ever done anything like that, but we never had a problem and the motorcycles stayed in place all the way to Florida. I'd recommend those two guys.

I might still use their service on future jobs, but don't know until I talk to them.

Handyman was on time, but left gutter hanger brackets loose and did not caulk gutter seam that he took apart. Handyman made several appointments to correct problems, but didn't show up or call. Took several calls to home office to get these problems corrected. Might use the company again but not if Brenden is the only person that they have available.

THE COMPANY SENT TWO YOUNG MEN OVER THE AFTERNOON BEFORE THE WINDOWS ARRIVED AND THEY RETURNED THE MORNING AFTER AND REINSTALLED THEM. THEY WERE VERY COURTEOUS AND WORKED WELL TOGETHER.

JIM BID THE JOB. HE HAD ANOTHER EMPLOYEE START THE JOB, AND JIM CHECKED ON IT, AND FINISHED THE LAST COAT & SANDED. BOTH JIM AND HIS ASSISTANT WERE PLEASANT, ON TIME, AND DID A GOOD JOB. THEIR BID WAS SIMILAR TO OTHERS I'D RECEIVED

THEY WERE EASY TO WORK WITH AND VERY NICE. THEY ALSO CAME OUT TO DO ANOTHER JOB, BUT WERE HONEST AND TOLD ME THAT AN ELECTRICIAN COULD DO IT BETTER.

I RECEIVED A CALL BACK IMMEDIATELY. I WAS IMPRESSED AT THE RESPONSIVE SERVICE. EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL AND WAS PROFESSIONAL WHEN I MET DOUG FOR THE ESTIMATE. I TRUST THAT THEY WOULD HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. BUT, THE COST CAME IN OVER DOUBLE WHAT 4 OTHER HANDYMEN QUOTED ME. I HAVEN'T HAD THE WORK STARTED YET, AND PERHAPS RENT A HANDYMAN MIGHT DO A BETTER JOB THAN ANY OF THE OTHER COMPETITORS, BUT I WAS JUST TRYING TO FIX IT UP TO SELL IT. $2300 WAS TOO MUCH AND THE HIGHEST QUOTE I RECEIVED FROM OTHER HANDYMEN WAS $870. AGAIN, I AM SURE IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED WONDERFUL, BUT AGAIN, I AM JUST TRYING TO FIX IT UP ENOUGH TO SELL THE HOUSE.

VERY REASONABLE AND DOUG DID A SUPERB JOB. HE WAS VERY GOOD.

MY PRIOR REPORT ON THIS COMPANY WASN'T FAVORABLE. THE SECRETARY CALLED AND SAID THAT THEY WOULD GIVE ME TWO FREE HOURS TO TRY THE COMPANY AGAIN. DOUG THE PLUMBER CAME OUT AND DID A FINE JOB. HE WAS COURTEOUS, POLITE AND EFFICIENT. HE CHARGED ME FOR THE PARTS ONLY WHICH IS WHY THE REPAIR WAS ONLY $6.97.
