I was not aware that this company offered handyman services. I found out by purchasing the angie deals. I got 4 hours of handyman services . The office was very responsive to my call to schedule the service. The worker was prompt on the work day. I had 3 projects that needed to be done (change 3 light fixtures, install programmable thermostat, and change a showerhead). The work was done in an appropriate timeframe . He was careful in not damaging things and cleaned up after himself. He made sure that I was satisfied prior to leaving. Update: After the warm weather started, I turned on my air conditioner which did not work. I called out the HVAC company that just installed my new unit < 9 months to see what the problem was. The programmable thermostat was installed incorrectly by the handyman. So I would be a little hesistant to re-hire them for handyman services. I had previously installed a similar thermostat at a former residence myself. It was simple to do so I am puzzled why he could not install it correctly

Terrible. The ad said it was for drywall...I expected this to be a drywall professional when it turned out to be a handyman but drywall worker prices ($33/hr with the ad and thereafter they were going to charge $45/hr). The time he took to complete the work and then the extremely poor quality of the work was unacceptable. The project had to be revisited two other times. The second door went even worse. Jonathan the owner came to view the job and agreed that it needed work...again, another visit. I believe the company pinches the customer on supply charges. Jonathan has been courteous/professional...his workers are not people I would solicit to ever work again in my house. What should be done in one visit, took 2-3. Also to mention on the first visit, they left all my house lights on; which meant they were on for over 12 hrs. I told Jonathan and he said it would not happen again...well, 2nd visit, same thing. Also, the worker went into my bathroom and took my hair dryer for use in the drying of the spackle...they should have had their own supplies. Totally not a recommendation from me.
Description of Work: To drywall two areas that were originally doors leading to the outside.

Thank you for your input on your project. We do apologize for leaving the lights on in your home and for the last drywall repair not looking so hot. We do appreciate you mentioning that we did return, on time, and did complete the job to your satisfaction. Jonathan Zawacki

I feel like a dummy for ever painting rooms myself when this level of service was available and affordable. Alex and his team came exactly on time and walked through the project to ensure we were both in agreement as to what was to be done and if I had any special concerns or questions. A day into the project when I realized I had made a color mistake on trim, Alex immediately took care of it without questions. The crew themselves were professional and courteous at all times, and ensured everything was clean at the end of each day. The final product is magnificent and I could have asked for nothing more. My thanks to Alex, Carlos and the crew for a great experience.

I purchased a daily deal that entitled me to 4 hours of service. Theresa contacted me shortly after the deal was purchased to schedule my appointment for a few days later. Jose arrived within the agreed upon time frame and worked quickly and professionally to complete the job. When he noticed that one of the curtain rods would not fit the space, he offered a few suggestions to make it work. Additionally, I was home with my 4 week old daughter while Jose worked and he was flexible with her schedule - completing her room first so it would be available for me to nurse her as needed. From start to finish, I was very happy with the customer service and professional work of the company and, specifically, Jose.
Description of Work: Hung six curtain rods, patched several plaster holes, re-caulked a bathtub/shower.

This was a great experience. Purchased the Big Deal for $199 for 4 hours. My handyman (I wish I could remember his name) gave me a courtesy call on route and arrived on time. He installed bathroom accessories and faucet for guest bath, bifold door, mirror and window treatments and some other minor things. Very professional. Cleaned all areas that he was working in and disposed of boxes and debris associated with the job. Price was great and we even discussed future projects. I told my parents about them and they are gathering up their "to do" list and will use them as well. I would recommend their services to anyone. Extremely professional and flexible with my schedule.

Arrived timely and completed the job very efficiently. He was very friendly and informative and saved me money by repairing the faucet rather than replacing it. The ceiling fan was difficult to get to due to it's height but another gentleman arrived to assist and the job went very smoothly.

They provided us a quote very quickly after surveying the job which was very competitive against some other quotes we received. We had our job scheduled quickly and the painters showed up right on time and were very friendly. They got right to work and covered and taped everything. We ran into one issue regarding a miscommunication about the sheen of the paint. We called the main office and they were willing to repaint an entire room (2 story) and apologized for the mixup. Even with having to repaint an entire room, they finished a day earlier than projected and the paint job looks professional. We have found our painters for life

Jose did an excellent job. Showed up promptly, took good care of everything (covering up furniture and carpet) and did a very nice job. The ceiling looks great, like nothing was ever done to it. Not sure what their usual prices would be like, but I am very satisfied with the job Jose did.

They called me to set an appointment. It was within a reasonable time. They called twice to confirm the date and time. Sean was on time. He was very careful to cover everything, minimize dust, and clean the entire area before he left. He was very professional, courteous and friendly. The ceiling work turned out very nice. I would certainly use Hands On Painters again and would recommend them to friends.

We purchased the Hands On Painters Angie's List coupon for drywall repair, so we expected to have to wait. But HOP contacted us via email within days ready to schedule the work. They took a report on the damage via email including pictures which we thought was a great idea. They scheduled the work for the following week and were on time and efficient. Definitely would use HOP again.

Hands on Painters were spectacular. We have never been so impressed by a company and their professionalism. They performed the job the week prior to Christmas and they were here on time every day, worked the entire day, and were 100% trustworthy. As for their work - it's amazing. There isn't a speck or spot of paint out of place! Typically the process of having your entire home painted would be tedious and unpleasant, but handsonpainters made it fast, easy, enjoyable and most of all Beautiful. We are thrilled with their work and would recommend them to everyone!

The owner, Jonathan, came out and gave us an estimate first for the outside work. Because we liked their work so much, he returned to give an estimate for the inside. All estimates were clear and detailed as to what work was to be done. We saw many of their crew and all displayed a good work ethic, leaving us with the confidence that the work was in good hands. Carlos was the lead workman and he made sure we were aware of each step along the way. He is professional and very pleasant to deal with. We are very happy with the results and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Cracked plaster and peeling paint were replaced. The work was scheduled extremely quickly! The painter was friendly, punctual and fast. He was very careful to cover and protect furniture, rugs, appliances, antiques and floors. He was able to blend the paint in very well, so that an entire ceiling did not have to be painted. Excellent job! The price of $230 included a surcharge of $50, for dealing with lead paint in one room.

I took the morning off work to meet them at 11 a.m. to get an estimate for the painting and crown molding work and let Teresa know on the phone I wanted to have it completed before Christmas. They never showed and did not call. I called their office around noon to find out what was going on and there was no answer. I left a message with my phone # requesting them to call me with the status or to determine what happened. They never called back. Things happen I understand but communication is key and it's been about a week and they never even reached back out to me to apologize or simply say they couldn't assist me. Maybe the job wasn't worth enough $$ to be worthy of their time?
Description of Work: Consult appointment made for December 8th at 11 a.m. with someone named Teresa for an estimate for crown molding for my dining room and living room, staining a wood patio door and paint touch ups to my dining room.

Hi Member, We arrived at 11am to do your estimate, knocked on the door and no one was home. We called and emailed you for verification of address, and we did not receive a call or message from you ? Is it possible our information has been mixed with another contractor ? Please call if there is anything we can do ! Thank you for considering us, Jonathan Zawacki (owner)

Hands on Painters were wonderful. The owner, Jonathan, was very professional and helpful. He was very helpful in making adjustments to the estimate to make my project more affordable. Hands on Painters made me feel valued as a customer and I appreciated being called the morning of the project letting me know who was going to be the lead painter and what all was going to be done the day of the project. And for the work, I am very pleased and everything I requested was completed. Also, the final cost came in as estimated.
