The Handyman

He was awesome, He finished the job in 1 day.

It went well. He showed up on time and completed the work and did a good job.

They were very good. Responsiveness and professionalism is good. The pricing was fair.

I hired butch to spread a pile of dirt in my lawn & clean up the lawn. I am impressed by his work. I will definitely hire him again.

He finished ahead of schedule and was reasonably priced.

He's excellent. Butch is a friend and knows exactly what needs to be done because we've used him for a long time. I don't have to do a lot of detailed explaining. He's very good and has done a lot of work for us including refinishing our deck and other tasks around our home.

excellent, will use again....

My children reported that he was very odd and made them feel uncomfortable. Not only that, all the lawn bags that he used were left in my drive way and sidewalk to my home and we could not get in either the garage or the home without moving all the bags left behind. They were then moved to the street where they belong so I could pay to have them removed. They should have been taken to the city area for composting - but instead they will most likely go to the dump in plastic bags. The schedule was also up to Bruce. He changed the dates as he pleased. He refused to process a refund - so I had to find something for him to do. He is very limited in what he will do. Most of the tasks I could do on my own - so they are not hard and any handyman should be able to do it if I can. Don't waste your time or money. And don't give him your cell number - I was being texted constantly during my workday, over and over and over - for no apparent reason.

Butch did a great job. Has all the right tools to be very efficient! Very nice and professional Great work!!

I wish I had the words to tell you how incredibly impressed I am with Butch, my handyman. He personifies every fine quality one would hope for. He is kind, courteous, responsive, prompt, compassionate, an excellent worker, altogether a fine and talented man. He works fast and efficiently, and his results are exemplary. I am thoroughly delighted to have found him, and he will be my handyman for as long as I live here. Thank you, Angie's list, for providing someone to whom I would give an unqualified A+ if it were allowed. I know he is a very busy man, which is no surprise to me, but he is definitely worth waiting for. He is a fine human being, as well as an excellent service provider.

I wanted one particular bush trimmed, which Butch did. He asked about trimming a few others, and I agreed. There was a lot of debris left behind in my wood chip landscaping, even though he used dropped cloths. He insisted he needed lawn debris bags, so I went out and bought them - a waste f my time and money. I had three toilet seats replaced. The new hardware were nylon bolts, and all 3 seats were loosely installed. Butch asked if he could have the metal bolts from the old seats, and not knowing that the seats were not solidly installed I told him he could - I was not pleased after he left and the seats were all lloose. I had two pieces of crown moulding that needed to be reattached to the top of my cabinets. He attacked the first one with a hammer, and after spending a fair amount of time on it, leaving it quite damaged, he said he just couldn't doo it. I asked him to replace the front door bell, which he said he couldn't do as he had never done one before. I did it myself. I was going to have him put a light bead of caulk around my master bath, but after the moulding incident, I wasn't comfortable having him do that. I was getting my home ready to place on the market, so rather than saving myself time by hiring a "handyman", I ended up spending much more of my time cleaning up the tree debris, finding and installing toilet seat hardware, installing my own door bell, having the crown moulding repaired and installed, running out to a store to buy lawn debris bags I didn't need and doing my own caulking. Butch can probably mow your lawn and trim your trees, but I couldn't recommend him beyond that. He seemed pretty uncertain bout what he could and could not do, and while he is a nice guy and all, he couldn't do most of what I had in mind for him.

It took a long time to schedule because he was overwhelmed by the people to bought the $99 handyman deal. Nice man. Showed up at time he said. Did a nice drywall repair in basement. Window painting was fine. Didn't go the extra mile. There was 1/2 hour left but he didn't want to install a thermometer.

He was here from about 8:00am - 1:00pm, with a short break in between. He cleaned out my gutters, he helped me use chain link fence around my garden, he trimmed a tree in the front of my house. Then, he had to leave when the four hours were up due to another appointment, but came back once done there to install a light switch. He did an excellent job on all accounts. I was so impressed with his work that I gave him a $50 bonus.

Butch came right on time and worked very hard for 4 hours fixing many small but hard jobs. We thought our front door lock was busted but Butch showed us that the door was not aligned properly. He fixed the alignment and now the door and the lock work perfectly. I would call on Butch again for any jobs around my house. In a separate visit Butch fixed some brickwork on the outside of my house. He did a great job and only charged me for 1 hour of labor.

The description stated everything from minor plumbing and electrical work to shelving and drywall repair. The Handyman only had skills for 1 of 5 of my original list so the value of this deal purchase was limited. He stated that: (1) doesn't install faucets (2) doesn't solder leaky pipes (4) Cannot surface mount wiring from an existing electrical to hang a fan (4) doesn't have miter saw to install moulding (5) has never installed an attic insulator kit (6) was not familiar with using seam caulk to prevent leaks when installing new gutter parts I had to revise my list three times after the purchase. Also, it was only when he arrived that he asked me if I had all the supplies on -hand that would be needed for the repairs. Advise the customer prior to the repair date of what they must buy in preparation. Nice guy and the items we finally agreed upon were simple tasks and done fine, but far from my priorities.

He was reliable, on-time, very neat, and performed excellent quality work. i would highly recommend Butch!

Butch has completed various jobs for us over the past two years. He has refurbished and repaired our deck, her has made household repairs and done extensive gardening including weeding, mulching and tree/bush trimming. He has done an excellent job on every job. He has very high quality standards. He treats each job as if it was his own personal home/gardening project. He is very knowledgable, experienced, reliable and takes great pride in his work. He is neat, well organized, has excellent suggestions and is a pleasant and kind too. I highly recommend Butch, The Handyman!

He did a super job on my deck, trimming my trees, fixing my garage apron and everything else that I needed to have done. He was an A+ provider.

As good as it gets. Butch does good work and is very reliable. I recommend him unconditionally,
