TJ showed up right on time and got to work. I needed to have my attic stairs replaced and he was able to do the job in just a few hours. When he he left everything was very clean, no mess at all!

The carpenter, AJ, did a fantastic job. We needed a dryer vent put in the basement and a countertop removed to make space for a new washer/dryer. He made sure that we knew exactly what could be done and made sure the job was done to our satisfaction. He cleaned up the area after he was finished.

I contacted them through Angi. "They" sent me a text message but didn't identify who was sending the text message. I called during business hours and reached their answering service and left a message. No one returned my call. I called again 4 days later and left a voice mail. I never heard back from them.

I would not recommend this location of ACE handyman. The owner/manager was quick with excuses and BS any time there was an issue. He quoted a price for two jobs- installing a new vanity and floor/tile. He never got back to me. After getting a plumber to install the vanity, I contacted him again about the floor. He claimed to have confused me with another person of similar name. (Even if such person existed, they wouldn't have needed the same, specific job done.) Finally, he sent a guy to do the job, which was perfectly adequate--what a handyman, rather than a trained flooring or bathroom professional, would do. He then sent an invoice for twice the quoted amount even though it was half the job I was quoted for originally, with a incorrect tally of hours and a suspiciously exact $200 charge for 'supplies'. When I clarified that he was charging me for supplies I had given the worker, he claimed the charge was actually for *other* supplies. He did not offer a breakdown of prices. As for the hours charged, he said I was wrong, and further claimed he always charged $100 an hour for employees to leave a job for three hours. At one point the employee broke a part on my newly installed, with all new plumbing, vanity, and I was charged $150 for him to drive to Home Depot for a replacement. We've used many tradesmen in our condo renovation and this is the single most shady outfit I have encountered. You can find great handymen on taskrabbit with guarantees on quotes and work. Do not use these guys.

While he was very nice and kind, he let me know after about an hour and a half the project was not in his scope of expertise, I received a bill for two hours for just taking the old one down, which was a little disappointing.

I apologize that you did not receive your Estimate when it was e-mailed to you the first time. I apparently missed the dot in your e-mail address. You should have your estimate now. A phone call or e-mail to the office would have alerted me to the issue and allowed me to resolve it quicker for you. Thank you for your consideration.

Handyman Matters did a great job, knocked off a bunch of things on our list before we moved into our new place. And on top of it all, after getting several quotes, they were very budget friendly, but I don't feel that they skimped on doing quality work. I look forward to working with them again, for sure.

Great. Less time than expected, everything done well and quickly.
This was a challenging job. Our 70+ year old stairs had become literally too steep and dangerous. Bob came for a first visit, and ultimately had Tom, his carpenter come and do the job. In order to make the stairs actually usable, after much assessment and measuring, Tom demolished the old stairs, and did a first mock-up. After adjustments were made to meet our needs, he built much stronger, perfectly suited stairs with an additional handrail on the outer side. Tom even came back to replace a piece of wood that had split after a couple of weeks. We couldn’t be more pleased, and now my wife can go down and up without fear!

I contacted the company to have my interior and exterior doors replaced. I was contacted by the company and had them come out to my home to take the measurements and discuss the project. A couple of weeks went by and I had not heard anything from them nor received an estimate for the job. I contacted the company and was told that someone would get back to me about the job by the end of the day. I still have not heard from them and it has been almost a week. I felt that my time was wasted as I had to take time off of work to meet with the company.

I apologize that you had to wait so long for your free Estimate. By way of explanation (not excuse) we have had some turnover in our office staff during a particularly busy period. Our normal turn-around time for Estimates is 3 - 5 days and we should be back in that range now. A phone call or email to the office if we extend beyond that time is always appreciated. You should have your Estimate at this time. I hope that you will continue to consider us for your project.

Thank you for your business and kind review, we appreciate it!
Superb quality of work! Tom (the handyman) and Bob (the manager) really helped us out to take care of some longstanding issues. There were some initially coordination issues, but once work began, it was good. Tom is a bit gruff but once you get used to his style (he will show up eventually, and when he does, he puts in 110%+. He nearly suffered heatstroke one day) you won't regret it. No one - adjusters, insurance folk, etc. - had been able to figure out the source of the location of our leak. Tom sleuthed it out (I still can't believe he managed to figure out such a bedeviling problem from so little to go on) and then made sure that it wouldn't reoccur, plus he took care of additional areas "just in case". Reshingled and stained things so well that you can't tell which are the new shingles. Really top notch work. By all means, don't hesitate to hire these guys.

Thank you for your business and very kind review! I am happy to hear that we were able to resolve your water leak issue, sometimes it's not always obvious how the water gets in. The extreme heat made scheduling a challenge and I appreciate your patience as we worked around it. We look forward to working for you again.
