It took over eight hours to complete the projects. The handyman they sent kept taking breaks throughout the day, even though I asked him to get back to work, and, as a result, the bill was much higher than expected. I had to pay because him he was getting very upset after the projects. Afterward, I called Mr. Handyman and they sent another representative out to check out the work, and he found that some of it was faulty and had to re-do it. Then, they refunded half of the money. Since the work has been done, some of the hardwood floor has come undone. Overall, the management at the company was very good, but the service people were less than satisfactory.
Description of Work: Mr. Handyman refinished some hardwood floors and did a few other small projects (caulking the shower, repairing the drywall, etc).

Handyman arrived late with no call, which I didn't appreciate since I moved my schedule around to be home at the agreed time. Other than that, his service was great. He was knowledgeable about all I need done, even with products he had not used before. I found his advice helpful on certain things also. I appreciated that he used shoe covers when he entered my home, but I noticed once he went out to his truck with them still on and came back in with them, thereby sort of negating the purpose of them. Nice guy overall.
Description of Work: Fix a french door to make it catch; hung a picture and 2 large mirrors; added to my existing sprinkler system.
The company was very responsive, so I was able to get someone right away. The dryer vent was in the basement of our split foyer home, so had to be run up a wall and then out. The original builder had put in the expandable plastic tubing which had deteriorated over time. Replacing it involved cutting through drywall. Our handyman, Max, explained everything very thoroughly before doing the job, totally repaired the drywall so you couldn't even tell where he'd cut through and left the work area clean. Everyone I spoke to from the company was friendly and knowledgeable, and I've already hired them again. All in all, a pleasant experience and a superb job.
Description of Work: The handyman replaced a dryer vent, repaired holes in drywall, fixed a couple of toilets, removed some wallpaper and hung some pictures.

Response from Mr. Handyman of South Montgomery County
NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED HERE. WE HAD THE MEMBER SCHEDULED AS A SECOND APPOINTMENT AND SHE WAS EXPECTING A MORNING APPOINTMENT. THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LAST MINUTE CHANGE DUE TO TECH ILLNESS OR A JOB THAT RAN OVER INTO THE NEXT DAY. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN OFTEN, BUT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN WE NOTIFY THE CUSTOMER OF THE CHANGE AS SOON AS WE ARE AWARE OF IT. PLEASE EXCEPT OUR APOLOGIES IF THE MESSAGE DIDN'T GET THROUGH.
Henry called to tell me 10 minutes before he was due to arrive to tell me he was running late! Upon arrival, he quickly surveyed the 3 jobs, the supplies I provided and headed off to a home improvement store for the remaining supplies. Returned quickly and from then on - kept me informed every step of the way, inviting me to survey the results at each step! The man is obviously a master at drywall and putty. The work is paint-ready! And the tile and baseboards match the existing ones! The re-screening took no time at all -- nor did the caulking. This was my 'trial run' with this company and they passed with flying colors!
Description of Work: Removed door between bath and bedroom, dry-walled and puttied, rebuilt baseboard and re-installed bathroom base tile; re-screened patio door; caulked front door jamb/cement step area.

The work was completed quickly and competently. When he arrived, Mr. Bourque quickly assessed what needed to be done and started work right away. He impressed us with his experience and we felt comfortable that he knew what he was doing and had all the skills to do the job well. He was also very responsible, for example, when he left to get supplies and it ended up taking a while, he called to let us know that there was a long line at the store. We would highly recommend him to anyone and would hire him again.
Description of Work: One of our deck support posts had rotted near the ground, so it needed to be replaced with a new post and we decided to replace the other post as well. Also, when the deck was originally built, the stairs were not bolted securely to the house. The stairs had pulled away from the deck creating a gap, so the stairs needed to be raised and anchored securely to the house.

I called Mr. Handyman last Wednesday and they sent Max over on Thursday morning. He arrived 15 minutes late, but they had called to tell me that. He showed up in a very well equipped truck and went right to work. He installed the freestanding center island kitchen hood in 7 hours with NO damage to the existing ceiling and walls. It was all done through a 6" hole in the ceiling a 4" hole in the exterior wall. Total cost $778 which was a less than the other prices I got. My wife and I are both architects and we can be pretty demanding on the quality of the finished work. We were both absolutely satisfied with the results.
Description of Work: Installed free standing top vented kitchen range hood.

Very well. Pat arrived in a marked truck exactly on time. The day before I had gone to the local home improvement store and made sure that I had all the material he would need. I showed him all the projects and all the material. He started on the big projects first then small projects in the house, then the projects outside the house. He did use some material from his van like anchors, caulk, sanding pad, etc. Charged me a total of $10 for it, which is fine I think. He was very polite throughout, on one hand he didn't waste time talking, on the other hand he explained everything when I asked him questions. Also he showed me the good strong kind of anchors I could buy myself and how to use them if I wanted to do it myself. There were some other projects like putting in a closet door, for which he wrote down what I needed to buy so he can put it in next time he was around. Also gave me an estimate on how long it would take him to do it. It was a job well done!

I was not happy with the first five minutes. I had told the supervisor when scheduling that I would not be able to move large furniture out of the rooms. The handyman seemed very surprised and acted as if he wouldn't be able to do the job since he said all furniture would have to be removed and he couldn't do it himself. I convinced him the furniture could be moved to the middle of the rooms and then slid back as the rug was removed (I had done this when I removed the rug myself in the living room). After that, things went well, although they took much longer than the time he estimated. The end result is great, but it was pricey. I had also asked him to repair a hydraulic hinge on my storm door that had fallen off because the wood was very beat up. His suggestion was just to remove it since there was a hydraulic thing on the bottom as well. The door seems to work just fine that way.
Description of Work: The handyman replaced a ripped panel on my screen porch, removed wall-to-wall carpeting in two bedrooms and a hallway and added molding to cover the gap from the rung around the perimeter of each room

I think the work was done very, very well. The technician who performed the work was very knowledgeable and explained what he was doing and why he was doing it. He was also very punctual, almost to the second. The office was also very good about scheduling and working around my schedule - just a real good experience with this company.
Description of Work: They installed a plastic guard around the dryer vent to keep rodents and birds out. They also installed weather stripping along the front door and did a extensive job shimming up the kitchen counter so that it was more level with the wall, so that there would not be a gap between the counter and the wall.

They did a good job. The work in the bathroom was excellent. I had some issues with the quality of the work done on the deck which I noticed a little later. He picked out bad pieces of wood which made it look less perfect. One time he didn t show up when I thought he was coming, it was a big mix-up. When I called them they were all very apologetic. I would use them again because they are an easy one stop solution when you have a lot of little projects to do.

I made an appointment with Mr. Handyman and within 24 hours, the appointment was confirmed by telephone. The caller was very polite and professional and explained the services to me. My job was assigned to Emilio, who quickly attached the gutter and gave an estimate for replacing the trim, siding and painting, as well. After, he fixed the gutter, we went to home depot to get the replacement parts. Emilio returned two days later, to complete the job in one day. I had gotten earlier estimates, from another contractor for twice the price and twice the number of days to complete this project, so I was gratified to discover the work had been done so well, at a great price in a short period of time. I will be using Mr. Handyman's services again, this was a great experience.
Description of Work: I needed to have rotting trim removed and replaced, as well as some siding. In addition, the metal around my chimney cap needed to be sanded, rust proofed and repainted. The trim was from the second story to the ground. I also had a sagging gutter, that needed to be re-attached to the house.
