He did great work on that and was timely. He focused on his work. He takes great pride on their work. Their first hour rate is a little bit high.

It took him a while to do the job especially in repairing the shutter and he charged by the hour. He was quick to respond when I called for the service. But it took him two weeks to get the new shutter done, I think it took him time to order a new one. When he came back to install it, it was a new payment. But the guy did a good job and I will give him an ?A? for that, he was punctual.
Description of Work: He took down the Christmas tree. He also fixed the shutters of our window because there was a screw that got loose and had to install a new shutter.

The service went okay. We had them replace a window with plywood and insulation. They also framed and caulked the area. One technician came out and completed the job in the 4 hour time frame we purchased. My husband worked with the technician and felt like he had to keep on him to get the job done. It seemed to be difficult to get across what you wanted. He also did a sloppy job. I had no problem scheduling the deal.

Very sorry to hear that this customer was not pleased with the service. I've called and left a message to find out some additional details and find out what steps we can take to address their issues and improve our service. I hope I have the opportunity to speak with this member soon and will then follow up with the technician (who up to now has always had good reviews). We try very hard to provide excellent customer service and if we ever fall short of that mark, we make every effort to rectify the situation.

Contacted quickly by Ms Leigh from Mr Handyman who set up the work around my schedule. I made sure she knew that my condo was on the 3rd floor, which said wasn't a problem. The work day turned out to be snowy and icy. The team reached out in a timely manner to let me know they MIGHT be late, which was appreciated. The team was friendly, professional and did a great job, patiently working with me to get the mounting height "just right". They got all the work done in time and cleaned up after themselves. Will absolutely use them again.
Description of Work: Mounted a 95 lb mirror on wall and replaced a chandelier in a 2-story dining room.

The contractor arrived exactly on time and started work immediately after being given a description of the work that needed to be done. The original schedule was to complete in one day, but due to a unforeseen problem (not attributable to the contractor), a second day was required. After completing the work, the contractor cleaned up the work area and disposed of all the scrap material. The quality of work was very good and were general pleased with the outcome.
Description of Work: There were a number of small task performed by the contractor, e.g., replacing a screen door, installing a chimney screen and replacing the ceiling of a screened in porch

In at 11:50 am, left at 1:26 pm. Had to write another check for $210 and canceled the initial coupon of $398. Closet track spring that was fixed fell off after the technician had left. Notified the owner of the business immediately by phone and was informed that the problem will be addressed and fixed in future appointments. Angie's List requested refund of $398 on 11/18/2014.

Very sorry for the problem with the closet door. I should point out that we recommended replacing the track, but the member insisted that we try re-attaching the spring. We will be going back to try again. I have also been in touch with AL about a refund on the coupon that she purchased since she did not need 4 hours of service and chose to pay for the 1 3/4 hour appointment directly. Very sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the positive review. Sorry we weren't able to complete the project for this customer. Our tech went out to do this project. We do an initial assessment when we arrive, and in this case, realized that the project was going to be more complicated and costly than what the member was comfortable with, so he decided not to have the work done.

Living in a older home, we joking referred to the remodeling of my master bath as the "Money Pit". At every turn, we encountered plumbing, electrical and structural issues as well as a few design changes I made along the way. The technician from The Handyman was very knowledgeable and found solutions to all of them. The remodel was done on time, on budget and to my satisfaction. This old house is full of projects and I will be calling upon The Handyman for each new project. THANKS KEN AND KEVIN FOR A JOB WELL DONE!

Everything went well the process took two days. We scheduled the days and time and the service technicians arrived on time and did the work in a timely and professional manner. I asked what supplies and material I would need and they were helpful in giving me that information and advice on what I should get and what they would bring. As a female I was please that I was treated like I knew and/or understood the repairs needed. I will definitely use them for other jobs in the near future.

The bedroom drywall repair portion was straightforward enough. The bathroom repair was not. When we bought our house, it had a Jacuzzi tub in a basement bathroom that was in a cramped space & installed too high to be usable. Since then, we've had to disassemble it in the course of other basement work. We asked Mr. Handyman to reassemble it at the standard floor height. It seemed straightforward at first, but apparently it would run into many more hours of labor/cost, more than double the initial estimate. Had we realized this, we would have decided to simply remove the tub since it was A) unusable at the original height and B) exorbitant to adjust to a lower height. However, the tech did not communicate the increased scope and proceeded to work for an hour & a half on reassembling it (to the original height). I wrote them an email explaining why I did not want them to return to finish the work. I did not ask for a response, but nonetheless, the company president (Kevin) contacted me, arranged to meet at our house, and acknowledged that they should have (and usually do) communicate when the job is beyond the scope of the initial estimate. Kevin graciously offered to "comp" us the hour and a half of labor toward removing the tub, capping off the plumbing & drain fixtures, etc. A different tech came to complete this work, and he was very conscientious about communicating the tasks & time needed. Based on the first visit, I was very unhappy & ready give them a bad rating. But they were very responsive and accommodating, and they worked hard to set things right with us. In the end, I was very happy with the quality of their work. I realize that mistakes happen from time to time. The way they resolved it was excellent.

Thanks for sharing your story with other members. I always encourage people (as does Angie's List), when a service call doesn't go according to plan, contact the company and explain your concerns. Most small business owners are honest people who want to take care of their customers (especially those of us who have the honor of being top rated AL companies). In this case, the member was very polite and reasonable, which made resolving the problem very easy. It was my pleasure to work with you and find a good solution.

It went very well. We were able to schedule a date for right after I called. The first time they came out to do the work, they said there was too much stuff in the basement to work around, unless we wanted to pay them for several hours of moving basement junk around. We didn't get charged for them coming out and not being able to work, rather It counted as an on-site estimate. This forced us to finally clear out the basement, which was a real bonus. We were able to schedule another date as soon as we got the basement cleaned out. They showed up exactly on time, got right to work and finished up within four hours, which was what they estimated it would take. They left everything clean and tidy.

My kitchen faucet could not be repaired so I had Mr Handyman replace it. Also my front door was constantly sticking and coming off it's hinges so - Mr Handyman (Jim) took the door off it's hinges and removed the wood lining the bottom that had become rotten. He scraped it and replaced it with new wood. Then installed weather stripping and new screws for the hinges. Now - it works perfect. Their people always do a good job and I'm never disappointed.

I called Mr. Handyman based on positive Angie's List reviews. We needed some drywall work done. The receptionist told me that I would have to pay $158 up front for the privilege of an estimate. This seemed to be an unusual demand (I have never once paid for an estimate in all the times I have done business with repair services of any kind, and there have been many) and also a bit of a hard sell (they promised to apply the $158 towards my total bill if we selected them to do the work). The receptionist was very pleasant and professional in her conversation with me, but I chose not to hire this company because of the demand for payment for just getting an estimate.

Response from Mr. Handyman of Anne Arundel and PG County
Very sorry that this member was not happy with our policy. It is true; we do not do free onsite estimates - we estimate most of our jobs over the phone. For a simple drywall repair, we really just need to know how large the area needing repair is. Some folks aren't comfortable with that, and that certainly is their decision to make - but we incur the expenses when we do estimates, so we try to avoid that by asking pertinent questions, or having the customer send us pictures. We literally serve thousands of customers successfully using this procedure and have won 11 AL Super Service Awards in the process.. I'm not sure how offering to apply the $158 back to the cost of the job is a hard sell. I'll have to give that some thought. What we are doing, basically, is refunding the cost of the estimate for those serious customers who choose to move forward with their project.

My husband said it was Kevin who originally came out and there was another person who came out to do the estimate. My husband wrote a letter to the company because the other person they sent out was absolutely wonderful but said that there was no way it could be done in eight hours and it ended up costing us a 150% more than we thought we were going to and took us two days and he could not do it in two consecutive days instead he had to so it a week apart. So that was our only problem but other than that he did a great job and he was very nice. I don’t know the exact amount that we paid. All I know is that my husband was upset because first all we had started out that we would purchase the materials and my husband all these materials. Then the other person showed up and like I said he was not able to do it all in 8 hours and he also said that the materials were not the right ones. So that was kind of a pain but he was nice about it. My husband just gave him the wood. He did a great job, it was all good. He was a real nice person. He was great.

Thanks for your review and for the many kind words you included. Very sorry that this job took longer and cost more than the original estimate. But you were very understanding and it was a pleasure to work with both of you. I believe that Ken was hoping we could repair the shed door and Jim made the determination after starting the job that it needed to be replaced. So that's our fault for not making a better assessment, for which I apologize. I hope we will have the opportunity to work with you again on another project, and I'm glad that you were pleased with the quality of the finished product.

Contacted Mr. Handyman (of Anne Arundel & NE PG), explained job and sent pictures and was able to get on the schedule for the work at the end of the week. This was great and very promising. Pricing $158 first hr, $52 each additional half hour. Told them I would be using their $398 for 4 hours of services coupon (normally $470) on Angie's List. Credit card information was required up front to be charged later if I chose to (I reluctantly gave the information assuring myself nothing bad would happen as I've used Angie's List contractors on several previous occasions with great success). Paint provided by me. Asked if I needed to provide caulking or anything else (no problem for me) or if the worker would already have them. Told worker would already have those kinds of items on the truck. Estimated time for completion 6-8 hours. I expected the lower end as there was not whole lot to be done. (I had actually been having challenges contracting with other service providers for the work, some saying more or less it wasn't worth the time and/or cost). On 8/22 the workman was very punctual, arriving shortly before 8am. Reviewed the work to be done. Discussed the time it would take - he repeated the 6-8 hours but eventually agreed with me and my husband that it shouldn't take that long and that he would be able to finish it that day. I have tenants in the property so confirmed that he had my phone to contact me at work with a status when done. I received a call from my husband around noon informing me it had been raining off and on throughout the morning and had stopped by the property to check on the progress and found the worker gone and part of the work completed. I received no call from the handyman and when I called their office no one there had heard from him or could give me an update. Eventually received a call back that evening before leaving the office with an update and to schedule the completion work. Was told 2-2 1/2 hours more work to be done. When I stopped by the property that evening found the top trim had been scraped, storm door removed, what appeared to be some kind of primer painted on strips of trim and parts of the door that the original paint had been scratched off by the tenants (I had bought the high grade of Behr paint with primer so didn't understand this). Wish I could include the pictures I took in this write up. I asked my tenant how long the worker was there and was told 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Work was completed on the following Tuesday, 8/26. Received call next day regarding payment of the $972.44!!!!! Longer story shortened I purchased the $398 coupon on Angie's list and it was applied to the bill. I vehemently argued the exorbitant cost for a small job, stating that the worker had not done all the work indicated on either day and that the first day my tenants told me he had left after 2-2.5 hrs. I was speaking with Jennifer in that office. I sent her my pictures as well. Jennifer argued back standing behind what the worker's assertions on the invoices. I argued the amount I was being charged for materials as well and asked if they would be giving them to me since they were charging such a high premium for them - way more than it would have cost me to buy them myself. Jennifer argued back on that as well but eventually offered take $100 off the bill for the supplies... I felt trapped as they already had my credit card information - of course they wouldn't except AMEX. I can only speculate why I received this kind of treatment - I wasn't an occupant in the property, property location, a woman, who knows. Unfortunately I'll use Angie's List with a little more reservation going forward. I received the following invoice information the following day - Work date 8/22. 4.5 hrs Work description: Remove storm door, scrape, sand, caulk & paint door jam - exterior entrance, scrape, sand & paint front entrance door exterior Materials used: caulk, wood filler, sand paper Labor 522.00 Material 43.76 Tax 2.63 Total 568.39 Discount -470.00 Revised Total 98.39 Work date 8/26 3.5 hrs Work description: wood filler, sand & paint exterior entrance door, wood filler, sand & paint exterior door jam & trim (again??!!)

Response from Mr. Handyman of Anne Arundel and PG County
Very sorry that we were not able to please this customer, but I do appreciate her sharing the photographs, which show the quality of our workmanship. Also very sorry that communication on that initial day of service was poor. We absolutely should have called when the rain prevented us from finishing, and we have apologized for that. (the tech called the office and we called the customer, but the office did not have the cell number she had given to the tech that morning, so we called and left a message instead of reaching her on her cell- just a dropped ball in our line of communication). I should point out that the job took a total of 8 hours, which is in line with our estimate. The member did not pre-purchase the Storefront Deal (cost is $398), but instead presented us with a “screen shot” of the coupon that she had printed and the tech subtracted the $470 face value of that coupon from her bill. She was upset when we called to say that we could not honor the coupon until she went on line and purchased it. Sorry if there was something unclear about the way that the coupon is presented and explained on Angie’s List that led to this confusion. The material on the door “that appeared to be some kind of primer” was the wood filler. There was a fair amount of gouging on the door and it needed to be filled before being sanded and painted. We did inform the customer that we would have the necessary materials “on the truck.” We did not mean to imply that the supplies we take off of our truck are free - simply that the tech would not have to run to the store during the service to get what was needed. I believe we are pretty clear about explaining the cost of materials, but I have re-iterated to our team the importance of making that point clearly up front. In this case, we subtracted $100 off the bill as a gesture of goodwill for that confusion (more than the amount that we initially charged for the materials). In our last communication, the customer indicated that she was satisfied with that solution. Sorry to learn now that she was ultimately not satisfied by the solution that we offered.
