Our porch swing fell down while we were in it one evening (it had been improperly installed), and Will repaired it. He installed new hardware, gave the swing new chains, and made sure it was well anchored into the joists overhead. He was personable and totally reasonably priced, and did a great job. We would absolutely hire him again if he's free – he was building his own house and expecting a baby, so he was pretty busy for the immediate future !
Description of Work: He fixed our beloved porch swing !

I called to discuss some carpentry work that needed to be done. Never received a call back. He may do great work and just got very busy. End result is that I hired someone else to do the work.

Will's Handyman Service is quiet and reasonable, he was prompt and fast but at the same time some of the work was kind of sloppy. He had to do the tub caulking again which was disappointing. He was fast and he responded right away.
Description of Work: I used Will's Handyman Service. He refinished our tubs and he changed our weather strip on our door and other things around the house.

I don't recall having to do any caulking again. I might have returned to finish the job cause I ran out. I will work on my caulking skills and quality of caulking cause this seems to be my Achilles heal of repair work. Thanks for the feedback.

Response from Will's Handyman Service
Yes, the member contacted me regarding installing some shelving for his wife since he was incapacitated and unable to do the work. I agreed that I could do the work. Gave me his wife's name and number to contact her to set up the work. I called her a day later and left her a voicemail. I tried to call back again two days later but did not leave a voicemail. I did not have the husbands number any more so was unable to call him. If the member had not heard from me then he should have just called me back as I could have explained the situation instead of writing a negative review. Everybody has busy life's and since this is not my full te job, I can not concentrate 100% of my efforts. I do this work because I love to help out not to earn a living. If the member wishes to call me back I would love to help him and his wife out. Thanks.

The caulking came up a few weeks later which was disappointing. I didn't call him back, however, because I felt he should have done it correctly the first time.

Response from Will's Handyman Service
In response to the members comments, the job was performed correctly the first time. I removed all the old caulking using a razor knife, cleaned the joint interfaces with acetone to remove dirt and bond inhibiting elements, installed a silicone tub caulk, which is the correct caulk oppposed to a latex caulk. It is the member's loss that she did not call me back with her concerns cause I would have happily returned and fixed any needed issues for free. I did express to her to try not to use the tub or shower for the remainder of the day to allow for adequate cure time of the caulking material. I also can not be responsible for failed caulking if harsh chemicals were used to clean the tubs or showers. I would still happily return and fix any issues that may remain at no charge if she would happen to call me. As for my punctuality, I showed up the day she called immediately after another job on the weekend.

Description of Work: I would like to give a good review to Will's Handyman Service in Baton Rouge, but I did not actually use him. He very honestly and in the nicest way, told me that it sounded as if my electricity problem would be better handled by Mark Babin's electricity service (also in Baton Rouge). Therefore, I didn't want to put it out there, that Mr. Will's services might be limited. But I respect his honesty, his cordiality, and his reference to me of Mr. Babin, who handled our electricity problems beautifully. I definitely plan to call Mr. Will's when we need any other home service that will come up.

I just finished building this new house and needed a doggie door installed. I was very nervous about having someone cut a sizable hole in the side of the house , because I had never done that or seen it done before, and it was a new house. Will showed up after work in the early evening and quick work of it. He came in, was very courteous, and got down to business. The door was installed properly and worked on the first try. Will finished the job in about an hour, and was thankful for the business when he finished. He told us if we had any trouble with the installation of the door in the future to feel free to call him. I let him know if I had anything else that came up for a handyman I would be sure and call him. We are very satisfied.

Will is and was pleasant, courteous, responsible, dependable, effective and efficient! He was able to conclude/complete the work sooner than I had initially anticipate which was fabulous and I will indeed be utilizing his services again.
Description of Work: Will tackled and completed several household repairs/projects, such as, replacing weather-stripping, dry wall patching, kitchen and bathroom faucet/fixture replacements, door knobs and lock replacements, ceiling fan installations and much, much more. I had quite an extensive list of things that I neither had the time nor the skill to handle myself. Will is and was pleasant, courteous, responsible, dependable, effective and efficient! I will indeed be utilizing his services again. Thanks, Will.

Will came the same day I placed a call asking for a free estimate. These cabinets and drawers were custom made which required three separate trips to the hardware store in order to obtain the right bolt sizes. On the first day all the old hardware was removed and the necessary holes drilled. Will was meticulous in the cleanup of the work areas. Will does the handyman work part time so that it may be necessary for the job to be done in increments, but the work is of good quality. Will was pulled away one day because of having to go down to New Orleans because of his regular day job. This caused a delay, but he did come back in a timely manner to complete the job. I feel I got my moneys worth and would definitely call him again.
Description of Work: I had 43 knobs which had been screwed into the cabinet and drawer facings in my kitchen and living room which I wanted to replace. Will removed the old knobs, drilled holes through the facings and purchased the two different sizes of bolts to be mated with the replacement knobs I had previously purchased. Will performed the needed task in an efficient manner with a minimum of wasted effort.

Response from Will's Handyman Service
Yes, unfortunately, I was unable to perform the job as I previously thought I could. The schedule of my full time job for an industrial turnaround for work was accelerated a week by our client than previously schedule. Hopefully, I can have another opportunity later on to display my skills and help in any way possible. I appreciate the understanding of the member. Thanks.

Will works full-time so he is only available on weekends and sometimes at night but he will fit the work in and is very responsive. As I said above, I had some tasks which needed a problem-solver and he is exactly that. Worth MUCH more than what I paid (and my total price included lots of materials--gutters, wood, hardware, etc.) His prices are reasonable and fair and my only hesitation about telling everyone how wonderful he is is that he will never be available again! Will intends to build his own home in the next couple of years and he has all the skills necessary to do that--so that should tell you he can tackle everything from electrical to plumbing to carpentry in a workmanlike fashion. I am going to have him pressure-wash my house and do little stuff like replace broken window panes, etc. I feel blessed to have found him! And I found him here!
Description of Work: I am a single woman living alone with an older house which needs lots of little fixes. I also have SIX rescue dogs! So I needed someone to help me with small but significant things--fixing a "hotwire" on my backyard fence so the dogs wouldn't get out (something another handyman had failed to do properly), putting up two gates, getting an automatic dog watering system to work at an outside faucet but still allowing me to use the hose there, and fixing the drains which weren't carrying water out of my backyard. NOTHING was too much for Will to think about, solve the problem, and handle! He built from scratch a wonderful gate (and it took him less than an hour, I think); he dealt with the "hotwire" fence manufacturer and figured out how to work the fence and my dogs now cannot touch it, and he put gutters on my house. He suggested ways to get things accomplished and he did all the legwork and got the jobs done quickly and beautifully.

Will did an excellent job on all projects. He was prompt, called ahead before coming, scheduled the appointment around my schedule, went shopping for all the materials and did an excellent job of matching existing aged kitchen ceiling tiles and paint on inside and outside of my home. He was extremely polite and made suggestions that were within my budget and did not try to push me into spending more than I could afford. Very easy to talk to and pleasant at all times. Will was very quick and accurate with his work and it was evident that he cared about the quality of his work. He always swept and cleaned up after himself. I would definitely call on Will again to do carpentry, painting, and general handyman work around my house. He is a fine young man and very entergetic!
Description of Work: Performed services on 2 occasions: August 12, 2009 and August 28, 2009. August 12: Replaced several water damaged ceiling tiles in kitchen due to leak from air conditioning unit in attic and dug out water damaged sheetrock on wall and ceiling in hallway and clauked, sanded, and painted to match existing wall color. August 28: Sanded and painted wooden columns due to wear from rain and time. Matched paint colors perfect. Installed a gutter across the length of the front of the house to keep rain from falling on columns and forming puddles on concrete front porch and placed drain spouts on the two ends of the house for water to drain away from house.
