The handyman was 3hours late (scheduled and confirmed for 10:30, did not show up until 12:45). Was quoted for 3hr job, took 4hr. Would not have been a big deal if the job had been done right. The handyman when he was finished told us he realized he made the top step too small (it is half the width as the others). Told us he could fix it, but it would mean he would have to redo the entire job and get new materials. Would have rated then an F, except the scheduling women Rose was very easy to work with and prompt with all communication. But I would definitely not hire them again or recommend their services.

The notifications were great. Once scheduled you were confirmed via email and text. You also receive notifications when they are on their way and you can track their arrival online. They also include a picture of the technician so you know who will be coming to your home. I thought that was a great touch. The technician arrived on time and got straight to work (I had 2 smoke detectors on the first floor). He was friendly and professional. He was done replacing all 7 detectors pretty quickly, cleaned up and helped dispose of the old detectors. He tried to replace the window sash but it actually required a different expertise and was not a simple replacement. He immediately called dispatch, got a recommendation, and referred me to another company. His referral worked out great too.
Description of Work: I just had a home inspection and needed to bring all smoke detectors to code and needed to replace the window sash in my master bedroom.

Hairo showed up on time and assessed the work I needed done. He immediately got started, and was very knowledgeable and efficient. He explained clearly what was causing the issues for items needing repair, and really made the right fix. Things I ended up checking off my list: - Loose shower faucet - Clogged sink (very gross >_<) - Light switch replacement - New toilet guts (was constantly running, not any more ^_^) - Ceiling stain fixed - Garbage disposal troubleshooting (ended up being a small plastic cap was stuck inside) All in all, he was polite, and skilled, and I'd absolutely hire him again for any future fix-it projects I just wouldn't get it myself.
Description of Work: Many jobs ranging from a loose shower faucet to clogged drains, to high up bulb replacement.

The commode got installed and instead of putting the old commode back In the box as requested so we could store it, the guy left it sitting on the garage floor and it fell over and shattered. Handyman matters did NOTHING to refund us for the damage.

Chris arrived early (which was great) after giving me an approximate arrival time the night before when he called. He proceeded to look at the damaged exterior, figure out how to fix it, and fixed a leak that had caused the damaged materials. He repaired the leak and the rotted wood and did a professional job. I would hire them again.

Excellent as before. This is the second time we used them and they did not disappoint. From my initial contact with Rose to cleanup of the site when complete, everything went smoothly. Rose explained the costs and answered all the questions I had. Scheduling was easy. She was great. Fred (handyman) called the night before to confirm and the morning of to let me know he was on his way so I could secure my pets. Once Fred arrived, he walked through the projects that needed to be done and confirmed we had all the required materials (installing 10 door knobs, replacing cabinet hinges and a shower head, as well as numerous "Honey Do" items. He immediately began working on the outside first since it was threatening rain.. Fred was courteous, polite, professional, and proficient. Felt like we had know him for years. He even fixed a toilet roll holder that had become a family joke (it fell off in your hand especially with unsuspecting guests). He was up for any challenge. Fred even walked through our new addition and pointed out some things that we missed which were added to our punch list for the contractor. You couldn't ask for better representation of the company. Once done we settled up on the final cost. I had a coupon for 4 hours, but enough work for 6 1/2 hours. Instead of charging us the standard rate for the overage (if the coupon was used), he compared the final cost to the senior citizen discount they offer (10 % off) which came in less so we saved money. Handyman Matters of Columbia gave us the best possible service at a reasonable cost. MANY THANKS. They are definitely my first point of contact for future projects.

Selling my townhouse and the buyer's inspector found a few items that needed repair. Contracted with Handyman Matters Of Columbia again since they've done great work for me in the past. The technician, Rich, was able to get half a dozen repairs finished in 2.5 hours. He was very thorough with his work and all repairs needed were corrected. Will hire again!

What a great experience! Rich came out to fix an external water leak problem that had previously been plaguing us for months that no one else seemed to be willing or able to fix. He set us up with a temporary fix, and then came back soon after with a permanent solution. He also replaced some water damaged drywall. He is friendly, professional, and does great work! Thanks Handyman Matters, Rich and Rose!

Both service appointments went very well, Matt and Justin (the technicians) were incredibly professional and efficient. They were also friendly and knowledgeable,and explained to me what was going on with my problems and how they were going to fix them. I really appreciated the work that they did, and the high quality of the jobs that they both did.

Thank you for the feedback. I am sorry that you did not allow us to finish your job after you called and said how amazing the Craftsman was. You told us that you did not want to pay our hourly rate and wanted a deep discount but that you were very happy with the work. We go over our rates in advance and also had you sign our contract that specified how we work. We hire fantastic Craftsmen that do fantastic work at what we hope to be great value to our customers. We did provided you with a Military discount and only charged you for the time that we were on the job. You signed the invoice saying that you were happy with the work as well. I was also VERY surprised to hear that you texted my Craftsman asking him to do work on the side. We operate with integrity and find it concerning when clients go behind the company's back to solicit the employees that we hired and screened. I hope that you find someone to help you as we were more than willing to complete the job but you said that you did not want to pay our rate. I suppose that is why you tried hire my Craftsman on your own. Please note that the contract that you signed specifically states that you are not allowed to hire our employees directly. Wishing you all the best Brian

I needed to replace a damaged window, got a spare window which I believe came from the condo association, and called a handyman service to install it. When he tried to install the window, the handyman discovered that the window was the wrong size. We agreed that I would buy a correctly-sized window, he would come back to install it, and I would not be charged for this visit but would pay the normal fee when the new window was installed. I asked the condo management for a recommendation, and their recommended window service arranged to both make and install my window, as they will be replacing several windows in the building. Therefore, I called Handyman Matters back and offered to pay for the unsuccessful visit, as I wouldn't be using them for the installation. They declined my offer of payment. I thanked them and will use them again for my next home repair.

Handyman Matters Of Columbia did a great job installing a new Lazy Susan in my kitchen. The lead craftsman, Rich, showed up early and got to work right away uninstalling the existing Lazy Susan and then installing the new one that I had purchased online. Rich was very friendly, professional, and dedicated to getting the job right. Even after installing the device, he spent quite a bit of time making adjustments so that the balance and movement was just right. He only charged for one hour even though he was on the job for longer, and HMoC had an online coupon that reduced the price even more. Great job and will hire again!
