Thank you for the nice review, however, our records show that we never did any work at this location or for anyone by your name. The pricing is off for what we charge too. Maybe the review was placed under the wrong company - we've had this happen before.

Response from Handy Rite
Thank you for your review. I'm sorry you are not happy with Handy Rite we try very hard to please all of our customers and potential customers. I took your call on 2/3/2016 and tried to work with you to set up an estimate time but we are just a one man operation right now and morning and evening estimates didn't work with your schedule. I even offered for Ben to come out on 2 different Saturdays but unfortunately that didn't work for you either. I asked if you could send me pictures and more information about the project to see if Ben could give a phone estimate but made it clear a job like yours required an in person estimate to come to an exact price. I called you back on 2/5/2016 once Ben had a chance to look over your pictures and info and check into the special materials you were requesting. This was less than 48 hours after your initial contact. I explained we could do it hourly with a not to exceed limit and bill the materials at cost or you could pick them up. I know you weren't happy with the price. We set our prices to what we feel is competitive and sadly cannot please everyone. There are some projects Ben needs to see in person before he can give an exact quote and I'm so sorry we couldn't find an estimate time to fit your schedule. We are sad to lose you as a customer but feel we were very fair in both our pricing (given the situation) and our response time. I'm happy to hear you were able to get the project completed.

Ben was very efficient providing an estimate before completing the work and also the length of time it would take to complete. He completed the job as quoted and cleaned up before providing the final invoice.
Description of Work: Handy Rite was called to install a garbage disposer and complete the plumbing rework due to the install of an under counter sink. The dishwaher had to be removed in order to access the plumbing in the wall and make the necessary changes. Ben was able to make the plumbing connections, provide insulation sealer on the outside will, hook up the disposal and dishwasher, and have everything operational in the time quoted.

Ben arrived on time and started working immediately. He had to take out the old faucets and water lines before installing the new ones. His working space was tight but he made everything work. He installed four faucets, eight water lines with a total of sixteen connections. He is a fast worker and when all was done and tested not one drop of water leaked from his connections.
Description of Work: Ben replaced four bathroom sink faucets.

Ben was very professional, positive attitude, did a great deal of work in the short time he was here. Really a great example of great customer service. I'd definitely have him for more work and plan to in the future. Thanks for sending such a great employee, got a lot of things done that just were not getting done.

They did the work at a reasonable price. They were prompt both times. It went great and they were really good.
Description of Work: They came in did the job. They installed a ceiling fan; they had to put the block in the attic so they could anchor the weight of the fan. When they were up in the attic, they noticed some other problems; they came back a few days later when they had time and fixed the problems.

Ben is a great worker and is very knowledgeable with general handyman services. Ben was at our house for two days doing work in our kitchen and downstairs living room. We had him replace a cracked tile in the kitchen and repair some bad grout areas as well. The drawer slides we had him replace are great and was very needed. I had some random cable lines and phone lines that were a mess from the shoddy cable installer. Ben cleaned up the lines and installed an outlet for them. We had two minor drywall holes that were patched. Also, we had an interior door for our bedroom that needed to be replaced. Overall good job. We plan to use Handy Rite services again in the future.
Description of Work: Repair tile and grout in the kitchen. Replace interior door. Replace drawer slides hardware on 7 kitchen drawers. Install media cables outlet in finished basement. Patch drywall holes (2).

The owner is my handyman and does a variety of jobs for me. He is excellent and comes when he says he will and is always on time. He also did a great job repairing some stairs at my house. I have been very pleased with him and have not had any problems. I will call him anytime I need anything done.

Went great. The work was done on the date we scheduled, even though it was beastly hot outside. The new siding looks great, the area was all cleaned up and the cost came in less than the bid. I'm a happy camper.
Description of Work: Had some siding on the North side of my house that was getting pretty cruddy. I called Handy-Rite for a bid to remove the old siding and put on new on that side of the house. They gave me a quote, itemized parts and labor. I accepted the quote and we scheduled a date for the work to be done.
