Rent A Husband

He done a really great job and he worked really fast. He was very polite, neat and he did a excellent job. Everything about him was great.

He was very careful and thorough. He worked straight through from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. without even a lunch break. I would definitely use him again, and have passed his name on to other friends who needed similar work done.

After the initial discovery that the first set of windows would be difficult, things went fine. As time went on, it became clear that these windows would require all the time. I would have appreciated an update during the process that unless I wanted to purchase additional time, the two windows he worked on would be all that he could do. However, maybe he didn't know just how long they would take because they required additional steps. He was professional and knowledgeable. After he was out the door when the job was finished, he put my concrete birdbath back on its pedestal without my asking him. I really appreciated that because it was much too heavy for me to lift.

He gave me a price of $50 over the phone. He did the work right, but it took him a long time. When he got done, he told me the cost was $125. We ended up agreeing on $80. I would not use his services again in the future.

Rent A Husband was fine. He was flexible with my schedule. He was nice to work with.

Stephen replied to my email promptly. I emailed two others and they took days to get back to me. He showed up at the appointed time and got to work right away. As we had discussed on the phone, he purchased and brought with him the tank mechanism for the toilet and installed it in one bathroom, and then changed the flapper on the other toilet. Both toilets work well now. He checked a switch in our fuse box, and we tried to get it to trip again by plugging things in and switching on lights. He recommended that since we could not get the switch to trip again, that we leave it alone and not replace it. He said it felt sturdy and not like it needed replacing. I appreciated that he didn't just replace the switch regardless of whether there was a problem or not. He was communicative enough about the job, but not a talkative fellow -- just got straight to work. He billed us only for the hour he worked, the travel fee, and the cost of the toilet mechanism. If we had gotten a plumber, it would have been much more money. Thank you, Stephen!!

I purchased the Angie's List "Big Deal" coupon for 3 hours of handyman service. Stephen arrived on time and began work promptly. I asked him to start by installing the closet system first, and that we'd see how much time we had remaining. The closet system install took a little longer than I had expected, but I was happy with the result. As others have posted, Stephen is thorough and cleans up after himself. I had enough time remaining for him to lay caulk along two walls of our kitchen, where the walls meet our kitchen tile. The floor looks much better now. He also installed edging on one of our stairs using fixture caulk I had purchased. On all phases of the project, Stephen confirmed understanding of the job first, and then had me inspect the work afterward. I appreciated that communication; for example, he recommended that I caulk a whole wall in the kitchen rather than just the spaces with gaps. I was glad he recommended that, as I can see that the caulk would have looked funny had he not said anything.

I had three hours of handyman services to use from an Angies :ost Big Deal. I called and found a date that worked for both of us and we discussed what he woudl be doing. He was very upfront on amount of time things would take and I actually had time to spare for a small additional item on my "to-do" list. He was VERY knowledgeable and went the extra mile to assure things were done well, fixing a few things the previous owners had done wrong in some wiring too. I would recommend him to any of my friends.

Everything went well. No surprises and no hassles. What I appreciate most about working with Stephen is that he gets to work without bugging me--that is, he doesn't need any micromanaging. If he needs an extra part, he'll just go get it. If he seems something that needs to be cleaned up, he takes care of it. He's nice, and yet he stays out of your way and just plows through the to-do list. We will certainly hire him again.

very thorough and extremely good about clean up.

He offered advice and suggestions for my do-it-yourself projects. He was couteous and professional.

He didn't know how to do the job correctly

Stephen was both kind and knowledgeable. My only complaints were that he went significantly over the time he quoted me and when he ran out of stucco for the second wall he didn't get more. It's functional but doesn't look very good.

We told the young man not to worry, knowing probably how much he damaged his car. We hired Steve to do the job for us. He did a wonderful job. He does excellent work. He is very polite. He tells you that he is just a handyman. You provide the materials. He has some tools but not all the tools. He gets on the job and finishes it. We are asking him to do some more work for us. He comes before his scheduled time. The one worry is that he is not insured. I called my insurance agent and told him that I was going to ask Steve to do my gutters and he said it was alright but just to ask him to be careful. The problem is if you get an insured guy, you are talking about $100.00 an hour. Steve does it for about $33.00 or $34.00. He is excellent on professionalism.

He is very meticulous. Very neat. He had to install a normal floor standing oven/range by cutting a custom made cabinet. Understood what we wanted and just did it. Very reasonable. I would use him again.

I emailed Stephen from the Angie's List website, asking if he could perform the tasks I needed done, the cost, how long it would take, and when he could schedule it. He responded promptly, and answered all my questions. I appreciated knowing up front how long it would take and the cost. I was glad he was able to schedule our work relatively quickly after my contact with him. He did arrive on time. It did take longer than he had originally estimated but, even so, the amount of time to accomplish these tasks was reasonable. During the course of his work, Stephen noticed little things, like a sticky lock on the front door, and sprayed a little lubricant on it. That was nice of him. Every project looks very neat and professional. Stephen also took the old items with him to recycle. I would recommend Stephen and Rent A Husband to others. Jan Diemand

About a month ago my garbage disposal was having electrical problems and neither my husband nor I could figure out the source of the problem: either the switch or the outlet it was plugged into. I went onto Angie's List and wanted to troubleshoot with someone before I hired them to come in and fix it. After reading his reviews, I chose Stephen. I left a message which he return within a proper time. He was nice enough to help me troubleshoot for free over the phone. As time went on and we tried all of Stephen's suggestions, we couldn't fix the problem and we finally had to call someone in. I considered calling another electrician I had used (from Angie's List) but I knew their fee to fix my disposal would be as much as buying a new one. I scheduled Stephen (he did come a little early, but better that than late!). He spent about an hour and fixed the problem and only charged me $48. I would definitely call him again.

Stephen was great !! Very professional, did everything I ask. Completed the work in a timely manner. Cleaned up after himself, showed me the details of the repairs needed and was very very reasonably priced. I will certainly be calling him in the future.

It went great. When we have work like this in the future we would definitely bring them back.

Stephen did great work. He arrived promptly (actually a little early) and put in 7 hours of work. He addressed all of my problems and did so as cheaply and efficiently as possibe (without sacrificing quality). He even noticed a problem I had been having that I didn't think to mention to him and fixed it for me! It was a clever solution to the problem and I very much appreciated that.

Based on the reviews on Angie's List I was really looking forward to having Steven perform several small plumbing jobs and possibly some others later. However, we never connected so I can't comment on his work. I had set up one appointment and he called 20 minutes into it saying he had been working at another job and just forgot and went home when he was done. OK, I do understand that that can happen. So, we set up another appointment specifically on a day when my husband would be home so I wouldn't need to take off more work, but he never showed up. When we talked that night it turned out that he had written down the wrong day. I'm sorry that it didn't work out as it sounds like his work is very good, but I'll be contacting someone else.

Based on my request and a consultation, Stephen Installed a 50-foot Ethernet cable to provide internet feed from my downstairs home office to my living room TV setup. It required drilling and concealed, multi-room ceiling placement. The job was done quickly, neatly and efficiently. He also did some excellent job of garage clean-up and re-organization. Great service!

He did a really good job and I would definitely use him again! His prices were very reasonable.

Stephen was great. Fixed a bunch of things, inside and outside the house effectively and promptly. Price was very fair. Will hire again!!

I needed to replace a sliding patio door with a French door so that I could actually have furniture in the basement of my newly purchased house. Stephen did a very nice job replacing the door and making sure it's sealed from the outside.
