THANK YOU HANDYMAN

Handyman Services, Doors, Finished Carpentry and Woodworking,

About us

You know all those odd jobs you could probably do yourself, but can't seem to find the time? We can help! No need to procrastinate, just give us a call and we'll have that project that has been hanging over your head done when you get home from work. In 1991 Bruce caught the "remodeling bug" when he purchased his 120 year old home in need of love and attention. He realized that he enjoyed the challenge of making something "old" become new again. Bruce spent 30 years as an industrial, graphic designer and excellent problem solver and diversified knowledge of building materials, process and repairs. Bruce began to see a need for busy homeowners. They needed to have someone dependable to do all those jobs around the home that just somehow never get done. He envisioned a "handyman" type of service that would show up on time, do quality work and charge a fair price. This is how "Thank You Handyman" came to life. Bruce's dedication to customer satisfaction and commitment to excellence! SEE WEBSITE FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES OFFERED. www.thank-you-handyman.com

The install was not straightforward and required custom woodworking by Bruce to make the cabinet and support pieces fit flush with our imperfect walls. He left our house to purchase some wood required for the install and also took some pieces to his home shop to do detail cuts. He still completed the job same day! Bruce did an excellent job. We are very pleased with the quality of the work and the creative ideas he had to make it work.

I bought a Big Deal for 2 hours of handyman service. I have been wanting to have our old shower stall re-caulked so I used the Big Deal for that. Bruce was a pleasure to deal with. He contacted me promptly after I purchased the Big Deal, and we spoke about the project I wanted done. Bruce was able to schedule the work pretty quickly. He contacted me the day before to confirm our appointment, and he showed up on time the next day. He walked through the project with me and went to work. He was very polite and professional. The caulking he did looks good. We haven't used the shower yet so time will tell. Also, before he left, he talked to me about a loose step I had and gave me thoughts on how to approach fixing it. I will definitely keep Bruce in mind for future Handyman projects.

Bruce has done work for us twice now. We are very happy with the work he has done. Bruce is very responsive to emails and vmails and very punctual. We also found his prices to be very reasonable, which is always a plus. We have already booked him to come back and install a wireless door bell once the weather warms up. We are very happy with the service Bruce provides and would not hesitate to call him to ask him to help with any future projects. We are also happy to recommend him to anyone who inquires about a reliable, affordable handyman.

Communicating with Bruce was easy. He was very responsive, offered a couple of dates to complete the work. He called to confirm his appointment, he was very efficient with his time. When installing the first shelf (our home has plaster walls), he realized the original shelf wasn't straight. He offered to re-install the existing the shelf. Both shelves look great. In the second bedroom, he secured a cord for shades. Again, he discovered an error will the original install and corrected it. He was extremely knowledgeable and kept us informed of his progress.

Bruce promptly contacted us after we purchased an Angie's List "package deal" for this service. He scheduled the service at our convenience. Once he arrived here, he explained the work in clear terms and worked efficiently. He also cleaned up afterwards. Neither door was a standard job -- one is bigger than usual, and the other is a funky installation by the prior owner -- but Bruce accommodated the quirks of each and left us with two very insulated doors. I would gladly use him for small carpentry and other repairs in the future.
Description of Work: Weatherized two exterior doors (including removal of old weatherstripping).

Bruce was very punctual and began working right away. He explained exactly what he would be doing and how the placement would be to both me and my husband. He also identified a problem and solution with how our folding attic staircase was hitting our closet framing. Bruce offered to fix that as well the same day. He was very conscientious and clean. We are definitely having Bruce back to our home to perform some other repairs in the near future.

We purchased the following Special from Angie's List: $189 Door and Window Winterization/Air Leak Seal This deal was to cover: - Replacing the jam weather stripping on two standard exterior doors - Seal up to 10 standard interior windows with sealant (as needed) - Free comprehensive inspection of exteriors - Materials and labor included Bruce had called us before coming to our house and confirming that the specials may OR may not apply to the type of doors an windows I may have. I completely understand and asked him to come over to take a look and in helping me with the drafty single pane windows for the winter and possibly seal door/s that are also drafty. Bruce offered suggestions to get curtains to offset the draft and told me that he would not be able to winterize my wooden single pane windows. I know changing at some point would make sense, but all I needed was to help block draft and was hoping that Winterization / sealing would help. He only worked on ONE door, applies winterization from the outside and called it a day. I looked at the 2 strips he put on the outside of the doors that had draft / leak and did approach him on whether this is all I would get for what I paid. He said yes! I asked him for an Invoice of the work that he had done as I felt cheated for someone to have ONLY done ONE door when the special had lot more to the service. I was not provided any detail or indication that I would be paying $189 for insulating 1 door - which I could have easily replaced for additional couple of hundred dollars In summary - on the work performed, did not get an Invoice, was asked by Bruce to contact Angie's List as they were running this special and he even made a point of asking if he should remove the weather strip he had applied, considering $30 material. I was really unhappy with the response and service and so this rating and review to seek help. I understand service and have worked with several contractors, but this round was not my best experience.r

Response from THANK YOU HANDYMAN
Angie's list big deal winterization includes swapping existing door jam weather stripping (which is built into the door) for 2 doors and caulking small cracks between vinyl frame and the wood trim that allow cold air in. Angie's list also mentions the big deal purchase can not be substituted for any other work or cash back. When I spoke to the home owner on the phone he explained that he was not sure if he had the correct weather jam stripping on the (2) exterior doors. He did confirm he did not have vinyl Windows but older Anderson wood framed Windows. I brought 2 additional kits that add weather stripping to older doors that do not have weather stripping, Storm King grey putty to fill in gaps in wooden window cracks and clear plastic window wrap that seals the entire window completely. When I arrived we reviewed his home confirming the scope of the projects. The home owner did not want me to add the plastic to the 10 Windows or the grey putty. And he also confirmed the front door weather stripping was not the problem. He clearly said the back door to the deck was the worse draft and needed the additional kit I brought. We agreed that was the final scope of the work to be completed. After completing the exterior weather stripping the home owner and his wife approved my work. As I was outside packing my truck the home owner approached me requesting a invoice for work completed for tax purposes. I said please use your credit card receipt and print out describing the big deal winterization package. He then requested a reduced invoice for work completed versus what he had purchased. I explained to him that he would have to call Angie's list directly to get clarification. I'm sorry this home owner was unhappy with their purchase.

I was not sure what was was behind the wall above the sink. Bruce cut a small hole in the wall to determine what was behind the wall. Unfortunately there were pipes behind the wall and the medicine cabinet could not be installed. Bruce repaired the hole with a patch and plaster. He came back twice to make sure the plaster was dry and sanded properly. He was very neat and cleaned up before he left.

Our experience with Bruce was excellent. He communicated very well scheduling his initial inspection, with right off the bat made him nicer to deal with than other providers. After his initial visit he gave a preliminary quote but suggested getting another water inspection before he started work. It was good advice since the behind-the-wall moisture was localized, and Bruce cut his estimate due to the revised scope of his work...all on his suggestion. The work was completed on time and on budget, and he had to work with our two toddlers in the house during the day. He was friendly, accommodating, and the results look very good. We would use Bruce again for future work.

Bruce was a thorough gentleman. He was very professional and came to our house multiple times to get the job done. He was patient and took time to explain the issues and how he resolved them. He seemed more of a teacher encouraging me to do some of the minor tasks rather than a handy man who would be looking for more work. His calm demeanor and his level of perfection to get the job done right, impressed me greatly. It doesn't surprise me when he says, he is booked out to the end of the year and beyond. When I first called him, he was upfront about his availability and almost did not take the job, when he realized that I had bought the deal, he quickly arranged for us to meet after his usual working hours in the evening. Its was incredibly nice of him to do that. I would certainly recommend Bruce to anyone and would surely ask him to come back if i ever need help around the house.

It did take a little longer than expected but the end result was well worth it. I am having a little trouble replacing a part from the master bedroom door that I hadn't expected to be removed but I didn't think to mention it before hand. If I can't fix it, I will call him and I know he will respond. A few times he did come later than he had told me but it didn't have any negative effect and he stayed pretty late (6-7 or later). I would use Thank You Handyman again and would recommend him to others.
Description of Work: i had Bruce in to give me a quote to paint the master bedroom from the ceiling down, replace doorknobs, paint new doors I had installed and fix a hole in the kitchen ceiling. I had planned on changing my doorknobs myself but had trouble with the first one so I figured I'd hire someone to do it. When Bruce was here for the quote he showed me why I was having trouble with the doorknobs so I could do it myself. Once I knew what I was doing, it was easy. The other quotes I had gotten were hourly rates and I prefer a quote for an entire job. If someone decides to work a little slower, the cost can escalate pretty quickly.

Bruce is amazing with details ? he's our new go-to-guy! I sent him photos of the area that needed repair. We then spoke on the phone, where I described in detail the work that needed to be done. He came over, gave me an estimate and returned to install the cabinet. It was a tricky job, because the cabinet maker had incorrectly measured for the space and Bruce had to do quite a bit of measuring and cutting in order to make the cabinet work. It fit like a glove ? he pushed the (drawer) microwave into place and voila perfect! I truly appreciated his attention to detail, and how he described exactly what he was going to do with the installation/fix. Can't say enough great things about him/his work.
