He did an excellent job, working here daily with his son while I worked inside with my child care friends. I needed to wait for him to have enough time to start my job, because Michigan winter was h****** many homes, and he wanted to start and complete the job in a single block of time. I appreciated his wisdom, he planned well to start and complete our work and we are very happy with the results.

Exactly as he said it would, he really (really) is a nice man who worked all week long in my licensed daycare home. The children really enjoyed watching Mr. Randy (Meyer) and his son Mr. Trent (Meyer) through the window. Mr. Meyer had a busy schedule and because my job was pretty big I needed to wait ? however, he gave me a date, worked as promised and was able to complete my job exactly as he said he would. They are very kind people, and I would like to have them back for future work.
Description of Work: Repaired enclosed porch (removed all walls and ceiling) due to ice dam damage last winter, sealed roof line for water leaks and repaired internal walls damaged by ice dams last winter. Mr. Meyer also was instrumental in communicating with the insurance company catastrophic claims agent who seemed unable to understand that in Michigan, after the winter we endured, ALL contractors are busy and paid current market rates. I greatly appreciated his expertise and willingness to work with the exasperating agent.

I contacted SEVERAL Handymen in the GR area. Randy contacted me within two days of my call. He came out and gave me a fair estimate for the work I needed done. We set a time for him to come complete the work, He was 15 min. later than expected on the first day, but he explained he was getting supplies. I showed him what I wanted done and he and his son got busy right away. They got 3 of the 4 windows done on the first day. He arrived on time the second day and completed the last window in about two hours. He was very helpful and did what I wanted and gave some helpful insight to the project. The finished product is BEAUTIFUL!! I couldn't have done it better myself. He was kind enough to stay after for little while and give some input on some of our future projects. Needless to say....We WILL be using his services AGAIN. I highly recommend Randy. I am happy my windows are DONE and look so nice!! Thank You, Randy!
Description of Work: I needed the wood trim put back up around the inside of 4 new windows we had installed.

Randy and Trent were professional and punctual. The quality of work was fantastic and what I expected from reading the other reviews. The pricing was fair. If you try hard enough you can always find someone to quote jobs at a better price. However the risk of having a crappy work or a contractor no show goes up significantly. I can't say enough good things about Randy.

Randy was on time and very thorough in the installation of our bathroom vent fan. We provided the fan and he did the rest. They made sure not to leave a mess and left everything looking very clean and finished well. We are very pleased with the result.

He came right over and gave an estimate for the work to be completed. We needed some electrical plugs replaced and a couple put in. Also needed a closet patched and painted, a spot on the ceiling repaired, a range hood replaced, and porch light replaced. We set the date then I called 2 weeks before the appointment and asked if he could do the range hood right away. He came that very afternoon and in less than 30 minutes, took out the old one and put in the new one. He came back on the 19th and completed most all of the jobs and came back today and completed the job. The workmanship that Randy performed was top notch. I cannot see where the repaired spots are. The range hood looks great. Yes, I would definitely hire Randy again when I need a handyman. We actually left him in our home twice without a second thought - feeling he was totally trustworthy. Thank you again Randy.

We hired Randy to do some drywall repair in our finished basement due to water damage. He returned our call promptly and showed up for the estimate right on time. He could’ve done all the work the insurance company recommended, but instead was honest in saving us a few dollars by telling us he didn’t think the repair job was quite as extensive. When it came time to do the repairs, Randy called in advance to confirm, showed up again right on time and worked quickly and efficiently with very little mess (not at all what we expected when it came to drywall repair!). The best part was that he finished ahead of schedule and actually charged us significantly less than his original estimate as a result. We would highly recommend Randy for any home repair needs and would not hesitate to hire him again!

Randy removed part of the kitchen cabinet and constructed the area to accommodate a built-in dishwasher. He did the pluming, electrical and carpentry to get the job done. The cabinet frame and door look like it was always there, even though the size had to be reduced to accommodate the dishwasher. Randy responded to my initial contact in a very timely manner. His communication with me was greatly appreciated. He was very dependable and professional! I would highly recommend Randy.

I have a leaking window, so I contacted several providers on Angie's List for help. Randall Meyer of HMS messaged me back right away to tell me what the cause of my problem likely was and to tell me that he wouldn't be able to help me for several weeks. I never would have guessed that my problem was caused by an ice dam. Sure enough, it was, and I was able to contact someone to help me with my problem. He helped me without even being able to perform the service. What a professional! He earned my trust. I will definitely be calling on Home Maintenance Service for future needs.
Description of Work: They weren't able to perform the service but he was able to help me diagnose the problem and therefore get the help I needed.

This is the second time that I've hired Randy and his son to do remodeling work in my home. Last summer they worked on my kitchen, dining room and living room. There was no question in my mind that I would use Randy again. He met with me in December to plan the job, and he made an accurate estimate of how much time would be required. He gave me dates that he would work, and he came when he said he would be here and did what he said he would do. Everything was done with quality. Trash removal and a few plumbing and electrical tasks needed to be sublet, and Randy took care of hiring and scheduling - which I completely trusted him to do. I am very pleased with the results. Randy has so many areas of expertise that I feel comfortable turning any job over to him. He gets my highest rating!
Description of Work: Complete tear out of existing bathroom, then installation of shower, vanity, vanity top & 2 sinks, cabinets, flooring, lighting, exhaust fan & vent (through the roof), woodwork and cellular blinds. Painted walls, ceiling, doors and closet.

Randy worked efficiently and quietly. He was careful, thorough, and the work area was well cleaned. He provided explanations about the work he completed. He was articulate, respectful, and hardworking. He arrived on time and completed the projects promptly. The cost of the service was quoted up front and was extremely reasonable. We highly recommend Home Maintenance Service and anticipate using their service in the future.
Description of Work: Replaced faucet in kitchen sink....a fussy faucet but cheerfully done! Replaced front door handle, repaired several large holes in drywall due to plumbing leaks. Adjusted sliding glass door which was impossible to open.

Randy did a great job. He did all the work we talked about and we added a few additional things as we went. He was punctual, professional and takes pride in his work. He asked questions when needed and finished on the schedule he gave us at the start. His many years of experience shows. We felt the cost was very fair for the work being done.

I contacted Randy to provide a quote to hang drywall and install four (4) ceiling can lights. Randy provided a very competitive quote and was able to schedule the job quickly. Randy and his assistant were very professional and completed the project on-time. I?m very pleased with the finished product and Randy was a joy to work with. I would hire Randy again without hesitation.

My project was a "small project" based on the type of work Randy typically does, but I was still able to get into his schedule about a month after he provided the initial estimate. The original estimate was $140 + materials to replace a damaged basement window. The grand total was $165.00 for replacing the window, re-caulking a tub-surround, and insulating an additional basement window. I would highly recommend Home Maintenance Service to anyone in the area who needs some handyman work done. In my case, I am the opposite of handy. I am confident I will engage Home Maintenance Service again in the future.

Mr. Meyer replaced some exterior trim on the house which had rotted due to an overflowing gutter. He search the lumber yards to find matching trim, then caulked and painted the new trim to match. Poor weather did cause some delays, however, he stayed in contact until such time as the weather allowed him to work. He was very neat, polite and showed great detail in his work. I was pleased with his professionalism and quality!
