I was very pleased with his work. He also gave some valuable advice on some other work that needed to be done.
Description of Work: This was a Big Deal for 3 hours of handyman services. He revarnished some sun faded wood. He also fixed a ruined part of a carpet. He also secured a bed post that had loosened by putting in a new peg.

Stephen was great, performed all the work we needed within the time required and we called on him short notice. He even found another issue we didn't know we had and fixed that for us too in order to make sure the new caulk woudl stick and cure appropriately. He is great, definitely recommend him to others and will use him moving forward!
Description of Work: We were in desperate need for help with taping and mudding a wall that we had to tear out just a week prior to renting our home. We called Stephen and he came out on short notice and did the work for us so that we could meet our deadline. The taping and mud job looked great and we couldn't be happier with the responsiveness. If he was running late he would call and let us know which for us was refreshing. Then we had to call on him again in a panic with a leaking shower. The caulk was failing so he came out, figured out that the faucet handle was leaking water and was not allowing the area to dry enough for the caulk to cure (we did not ask him to look at this). We were thrilled that he fixed the leak, dried out the tile, tore up the old caulk and installed some new strips. Again, short notice, bailed us out -- we could not be happier. If we have anything in the future that we need, we will definitley call on him. Now that we have a rental property, we are thrilled to have someone we trust and depend on to help us with these projects. Rachel and Bradley White (Burnsville)

He arrived exactly on time, worked quickly, was neat, pollite, offered advice. A very nice person. I had hoped he could replace the water shutoff for the house, but he discovered that the main pipe into the house ahd been broken and patched and he said he would prefer not to take a chance on disturbing that and recommended that I get an actual plumber for that particular job. He quickly installed the new kitchen faucet, took the faucet in the back yard apart and put it back together and also worked with the basement faucet that turns the water to the back yard faucet off for the winter. He noticed that the railing on the basement stiar was loose and he fixed that. His rates were so reasonable that I offered to pay more but he refused to take any more. I had an estimate from my usual plumber and he would ahve charges about 3 times as much. I no longer remember the actual date of service,
Description of Work: Installed new kitchen faucet. Worked on two shutoffs for water in the back yard. I plan to have him come again to put in some lights and paint the house.

Arrived wearing rings on every finger and multiple necklaces, completed the work well, but he was still was a bit too unusual for me. Nothing wrong with his actual service but his demeanor and professionalism put me off. Would not hire again.

He contacted me and I explained what I was into for the immediate work and subsequant work. Sounded good to him to work on an hourly with estimates the day of the work. Said he as out of town for the weekend and would call when he returned. Never heard back. Left me hanging thinking I had committed to him. Lost three weeks of waiting for this inconsiderate person.

The prblem is mine---I didn't return for the complete month of February. I deliver commercial veicles for a transport company in St. Paul, MN in my spare time, and they offered me two deliveries from Canada. The last one ran on compressed natural gas, and it took 18 days to deliver. Totally unexpected, but there was nothing I could do but complete the agreement to deliver the truck in California.

It went very well overall. Stephan arrived at the house on time as scheduled. We discussed the specifics of the job and he made several recommendations which I was pleased with. After out discussion Stephan asked for cash to go to Home Depot to purchase materials (I found that odd). Stephan departed and returned an hour or so later with the necessary materials to completed the job. He began his work and was very professional. He worked late into the evening as the job took him longer than aniticipated. He informed me he would return the next day to finish the work. This is where the low mark is given on responsiveness. Due to an overload in his schedule and some unforseen complications on another scheduled job he did not return the next day. I tried to call as I was on a tight schedule myself to be available at the house and my calls were not returned that second day. Finally, he did call and apologised for not returning as he indicated he would and for not calling. He explained the situation and I understood it. Upon Stephans return two days later he finished the job. He presented his bill and deducted the cost of materials purchased with the front money. His services were high quality and his charges were moderate. He even provided my two Boxers with two rawhide chews at the end of his work which in my book was a nice touch. I would definately use Rent A Husband again and highly recommend Stephan to anyone. Out of five electricians contacted in the Minneapolis area, Stephan is the only one who returned my initial call.
Description of Work: Installed several electrical outlets within garage which involved running wire from main breaker box to outlets using wire and conduit. Additionally, installed a motion detector outside of garage.

Stephen Granger is an amazing character. Rent A Husband offered 3 hours of handyman services for $75 or something like that. He was very careful and thorough. He came on time and generally speaking did nice work. I haven't had any issues with the workmanship of anything he did. He did a fine job with it. It is sometimes tough to get a hold of him. He is definitely an eccentric personality (chuckles).

He was very nice to work with. It was easy to get scheduled. He installed 8 light fixtures, including 3 outside, and he did a great job. He even helped take down a ceiling fan and installed another fixture within the vaulted ceiling area which was extremely helpful.

It was a flat hourly rate. He was rather eccentric. The guy had gray gray hair and had fifteen rings on his fingers and a handkerchief around his head. The work he did was fine. He had his own mind. I am disabled so I was not following him around. He decided on his own that he was going to wash my car. I was paying him a flat hourly rate. I probably could have used but I was not driving the car. There was a window that needed replacing. He ordered the replacement and then I did not hear from him for weeks. He called that Thanksgiving and said he will probably be coming that weekend. He did not come that weekend. He just showed up somewhere in the middle of the week without calling or anything then put the window in. There were more things I wanted to do. He was supposed to call me back. He put me off and I just found other resources.
Description of Work: I used Rent A Husband for general handymen services over a year now. I had a whole grocery list of items that needed attention.

He trimmed a branch, and removed the satellite dishes. But the full amount of time that I bought was not used and I got the impression he was too busy to come back anytime soon. So I ended up finding another handyman who could handle the other things I needed done.

The member had very strong shelving, so I could trust the weight of the boxes she was going to put on it would not cause a problem. Another shelf was the old flimsy sheet metal variety that she wanted placed in a corner, one side free-standing, and I moved it around the corner so that one basement wall and one end of the workbench kept it upright. The member agreed to the change after I explained why I did it---for her boxes safety. The member also had an excellent mailbox system tl install, and I was able to do it before this llast snowfall and ground freezing. She just moved into to her new home about two weeks before the job. Thank you.

He works very quietly; I was very thankful for the help. I haven't had issues with the garage door since and it'd been giving me issues almost monthly, so I'm very pleased with the result on that. The bushes and trees were in great need of trimming and he did a good job.
Description of Work: I needed a lot of small projects done. I was not very organized, as this was a busy time of the year for me, but Stephen was patient with me. He ended up trimming my hedges and two cedar trees and fixing my garage door that wouldn't open or close all the way. In the process of doing this he fixed the lightbulb on the opener and also changed a lightbulb in the garage that'd been out for a while. These were the main things. He noticed that one water spout on the house was loose and proceeded to fasten all four of them. He also helped me remove a broken double pane window in my kitchen.

He was easy to work with and willing to tackle the jobs I asked to to do. He was careful and cleaned up after himself. I found the work to be high quality. I hired him through a Big Deal, so the price was very good.
Description of Work: The handyman did a variety of odd jobs: installed a curved shower rod, installed a cabinet light, hung a mirror, replaced a doorknob, and unclogged a sink, to name a few. The person was here for 3 hours and kept busy the entire time.
