Merlin Handyman

Bob was fantastic. He did a solid job for an honest price and I would definitely (and have already) recommended him to others.

Bob and I played a lot of phone tag trying to set up an appointment so we communicated mostly via voicemail. I found Bob to be very nice and professional. It was a small job but he stayed and worked through the rain to get it done. I think his rate is very reasonable and will definitely use him for small jobs again.

He was very good and prompt. I spent about $30 and so, his price was good too. It was a minor little thing. It turned out fine and there were no problems. I called and I wasn’t even here when he came. I didn’t pay him until later. He did everything I asked him to do and it was done right away. So, I don’t even think I met him. Overall, he was excellent and everything else about him was excellent as well. I would definitely use his services in the future too.

He was courteous, professional, completely non-intrusive and I would definitely use him again.

It went very well. There were no problems.

The price was fine. Their workmanship was good but I didn't check the gutters afterwards. The fixes have held up so far. They were friendly but I didn't have too much interaction with them. They showed up during the day when I wasn't there. Overall the service was good and I would definitely use them again.

In January, during a week of vacation, I was painting my stairwell but could not reach some really high and angular areas. I called Merlin. He came in and assessed the areas, gave me a quote of $100, and came back the next week to do the job. He was on-time, neat (not one paint drop anywhere), and absolutely thorough. He even did a spot I missed on another wall. All in all, he had to paint two coats of two different colors on four walls. Although I hired him to paint only the parts of the walls I couldn't reach, he did extra by: 1) painting a spot I missed on another wall; and 2) painting one whole wall he knew I planned on painting. I could have painted this wall myself, but I was already sick of painting for the week. Thus, It was really a pleasant surprise when I came home and it was already done. Merlin really did an outstanding job. He kept to his price quote of $100, but I paid him $125 because he did more than I asked.

the quality of his work is outstanding. His pricing is outstanding. His professionalism is good.

He is very good; he is quiet and he knows what he is doing. He is a hard worker, he is diligent, and he seems to be able to do the tasks. My husband felt like he was very good and knowledgeable about the work that we asked him to do. We recommend him. We plan on having him back for a few other projects.

He was excellent. I am happy with all the work. He arrived on time and was reasonably priced and stuck to his estimate.

Very careful worker. Took the time to prep the walls before painting. Extremely neat and pleasant to have in your home. Meticulous painting job. Very pleased with the work done and would hire again.

Bob seems like a nice, thrustworthy guy, but was slow to respond to an email inquiry (several days). We eventually scheduled and time and he showed up on time. He couldn't do several things I needed doing - small masonry repair (never done it), installation of a garage door opener (never done it), construction of a small closet. Sounds like he is best for painting,hanging pictures and hooks. At $40/hr (a fair price) I expected he would be able to do more. I found someone else who is terrific whom I will recommend for Angies List.

They never returned my phone calls. I wound up fixing the door myself, but only after asking numerous people for advice and suggestions.

His prices were very reasonable. He is very reliable, does careful work, and cleans up very neatly. I would say that his services are excellent and recommend him to others.

Everything went great. He returned my calls promptly and scheduled a time to come to the house and assemble the table-murphy bed.

It went very well. I was very pleased with his work.

I just got a better price from someone else and used a different company.

Bob was great to work with. He came when promised, and was extremely conscientious in his work. He estimated the work in advance, and his final bill was right in line with the estimate. Excellent communications; very trustworthy person. I would hire him again without hesitation, and would reccoment him without reservation.

Although a couple of the doorknobs had to be redone, I was very pleased with the outcome. Mr Merlin was patient and worked straight through without stopping to complete the work.

He came, gave me an estimate. He finished the work within a reasonable time. I asked him to do a few other things and he was quite agreeable. The work was very well done, reasonably priced and he was easy to deal with.

Our first job was when we had a few small jobs to do and the back porch top stair was rotted out and needed repair urgently. We called him on a recommendation from someone and he came and did it so quickly and efficiently I was shocked. He also did our other little jobs (hanging hooks, some more light wood working) without blinking, and charged less than I'd expected. When it came time to paint the front porch, there wasn't a question of who we'd call, and he was quick and professional as always. We expect him to do the larger jobs this spring/summer the same way.

I found another handyman who was more available. I have found that most of the handymen listed on Angie's List are too busy for small projects like installing air conditioners. A very frustrating experience! The handyman I found to do the job was not on Angie's List and was happy to get the job.

He was prompt, reasonably priced, and professional. He did not finish the job in one day, and had to come back to next morning, but he finished the work w/o additional costs. We were happy and would use him again,

Excellent work cleaned up after himself, told jokes. I was working from home and he was very respectful of that (didn't chatter or play music). Asked me to call him if I noticed any irregularities after the paint dried.

We've had Bob coming to the house twice already and we're planning on his services once we'll have more new projects for him. He returned my call quickly and was very punctual. He had good ideas-that we ended up using-regarding the projects. He seems to be very honest. The IKEA furniture assembly was sort of an epic endeavor but I blame it on IKEA since everything else took him a reasonable amount of time. We're happy that we found him!
