They called me 5 minutes before my appointment to tell me that they would not be coming. The first time I had scheduled with them for the same service, they simply didn’t show up. I understand that things happen, but some notice would be helpful so the customer does not have to take off from work for no reason.

Response from Mr. Handyman of Central Middlesex
I am sorry to hear that you have had two bad experiences with us here at Mr. Handyman. I (John Bowers) can not comment on the first experience for it was in 2011 and I did not own the company then. For yesterday's appointment, we did have it set up for 1:30 pm. I can understand the frustration, that at 1:00 pm we had called to let the customer know we needed to reschedule. Our technician that was scheduled for this job, was suffering heat exhaustion from being out in the sun all morning with a high heat index. Again, my apologies for yesterday's occurrence.

Mr Handyman promptly responded to my initial enquiry and a contractor was onsite within a day or two to assess the work and give an estimate. From then it was simple to schedule a time to start the work. Being an old house the job was not straightforward but the contractor kept me in the loop the whole time.

Jason arrived on time and prepared. I showed him the air conditioner and explained what I wanted. He went to the hardware store to get matching shingles and other necessities. He then got right to work. He patched the wall so well that it's difficult to tell that there was ever a hole there. On the outside, he lined up the shingles to match the reveal of the existing shingles and thoroughly caulked the edges. Ever since I painted the new shingles, it's been difficult to tell where the air conditioner was! He also did a great job of cleaning up the inevitable messes of patching drywall. He was also a really nice guy--I would be happy to have Jason work on my house again in the future.

The person was suppose to fix the squeaky stairs and used nail gun to fix it. The nail gun has caused lot of dents in my stair and also had a few nails that are still out. My kid has hurt herself multiple times on these nails. I had to pull these nails off myself which makes the stairs look very bad.

While Dennis and Shawn arrived punctually and worked consistently on 9/15, the schedule on 9/16 was somewhat chaotic and therefore more challenging to track in terms of man hours worked. At the end of the day on 9/15 Dennis informed us that he would be arriving early on 9/15 but that Shawn would be a bit later due to another stop he had to make in the morning. Instead, Shawn arrived on time but Dennis did not arrive until the afternoon. Then everyone dispersed in the afternoon to attend to another high-priority job. Eventually both Shawn and Dennis returned, along with Brad who installed the heating coils over the front stoop. According to our records, the total number of man hours worked (inclusive of Shawn, Dennis, and Brad) on 9/16 was 8 hours, not the 9.5 hours we were charged for that date. Given how fractured the work schedule was on 9/16, we felt that the time was poorly spent as jobs from our list were started and stopped and then revisited without continuity, which ended up wasting some time. The heating coils were not initially installed correctly even though we explicitly showed your crew where the electrical box was that should house the plug. We appreciate that your crew returned on 9/19 to fix this issue, but they left the cord draping down in front of the bathroom window rather than securing it against the roof. Before the work started, we reviewed our to-do list with Dennis and were told that everything on our list was achievable in the two work days allotted. However, this proved not to be the case, perhaps in part due to Friday's fractured schedule. We realize that the painting of the ceiling in the screen porch might be viewed as feature creep (We are not entirely certain of this), it still didn't add that much. We were surprised that more attention was not paid to clean-up after the work was completed. In summary we feel that the people were friendly, punctual and competent but the value was not there

Brad came out to do the work on 3 interior doors that we needs hung and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. He had to scribe and bore holes and hinges on all 3 of them and he hung them all perfectly in just over 3.5 hours. I would absolutely recommend them/him for any type of interior finish work like this, thank you very much.

The installation went well. Dennis arrived early (as usual for him!) and got straight to work. He penciled in the dimensions of the cabinet to know where to cut the drywall. After cutting the drywall, he found an extra stud in the way, so he worked around the structure to install the cabinet. (You never really know what's behind a wall until you cut into it!) He patched up the wall where he'd run into the stud. After painting (see the photo), it looks as good as new. He cleaned up the dust that had fallen while cutting the drywall. The cabinet looks great, and the ironing board comes down smoothly. Now I just need to find time to use my new ironing board!

Dennis arrived early and got right to work. I had had two other guys do work on the same windows over the past two years. Their work wasn't holding up, and Dennis explained why. (I knew something was wrong when the previous work didn't last more than a year. Lesson: always call a professional to work on your house.) He removed the rotted pieces, then went to get exact matches for the pieces in PVC. (Bonus: It'll never rot! And since my trim is white, I don't even really need to paint them! :) ) He installed the PVC trim and caulked the edges where they abutted the shingles. After he left and I was putting screens back in the windows, I realized that one of the openings was a little bit small. I called the office, and they said they'd ask Dennis to come back to adjust the work. He called a few minutes later, and said he'd be back after he was done with the job he was on. Sure enough, he came back, and with a smile on his face, he adjusted the trim and helped me to get the screen into the window opening. I'm very happy with the work that he did. The material cost was $170, because PVC is expensive, and the labor was $400 for 4 hours of work (before coming back to adjust the trim, which took about 45 minutes). More expensive than what the other two guys charged, but less expensive than those two guys' work put together. I wish I'd had the work done right the first time. It's worth the expense to have the job done right the first time.

These guys are amazing! Over the last 10 years we have had 4 different handymen come. The all were very knowledgeable and offered suggestions of other ways to handle our problems. All of their suggestions were better than our original ideas and involved less work. Our current handyman has repaired insulation that was installed incorrectly, designed and built a vent system for our dryer, repaired water damage that entailed replacing part of a wall and ceiling, and found a leaky bath faucet that was causing deterioration of another ceiling, He even fixed a celestial globe that had resisted repair for over 50 years. He also replaced steps to our back porch and is planning a modification to our heating system exhaust to keep snow out in the future. He works quickly but accurately and cleans up after himself. He is creative and inventive and enjoys challenges that he can think about and plan for so he gets the best bang for our buck. Would we ask him back? You betcha - in a heartbeat! If you want me to say more nice things about this particular handyman or the whole outfit in general, just et me know. I could go on for a very long time. And the best part is this is all for real with no extra hype beyond what they've earned.
Description of Work: Enlarged door on existing closet and added bi-fold doors. Installed closet system in that closet. Installed new medicine cabinet and light bar Installed grab bar in the shower.

Put new molding and caulking around air conditioner. Straightened front porch railing that had been bent by falling ice dam.

From the moment I started communicating with Mr. Handyman of Central MA, my phone calls and questions were answered promptly. Plus, there was a short waiting period from the time I ordered the service and when the service was done. The services, limitations, and initial costs were explained clearly and in-detail before I committed to hire their services, sent via Email, as well as, provided by the contractor when he arrived to do the work. The contractor arrived on-time. The grounds were wet. He entered my home with covers on his shoes so he wouldn't dirty the flooring. Once in the house, he changed to a dry pair of shoes. He was very friendly and analyzed all possibilities on how to complete the work, and suggested best quality and less costly ways on how the work can be done, and he left it up to me to decide whether I wanted to choose the right way or quick way. He was also very considerate of my property when doing the work. The repair work and door installation shows that the contractor was an expert craftsman. He did not take short-cuts. The finished work of the replacement bi-fold doors was done better than the original work he replaced.

I called Handyman and set it up asap because I didn't want the birds to cause further damage. They were able to come the next day however I had to leave for out of town early in the morning (a Friday) and wouldn't be back until the next Monday. When I returned the job was done. I looked for the bill but couldn't find it. When I called Handyman they said that they emailed me with the receipt. When I couldn't open the email they sent me a hard copy. All in all a great job. I am not too thrilled with the black bag and steamers on the side of the house but it is basically out of sight from the road and has really done the job! I haven't seen or heard the woodpeckers for the last three weeks. I was very pleased with the promptness and thought the cost was very reasonable. I highly recommend them!
Description of Work: Filled holes in siding where woodpeckers had pecked multiple holes with hard putty, sanded them and hung a black plastic bag that was cut in streamers to wave in the wind and scare away the woodpeckers from returning.
