Vince Curcio - The Bizzzy Bee

Brizzzy Bee was very nice and professional. Workers was on time and did a very nice job. I was really happy with the work that was done. If I ever need work done again they would be the first one I would call.

Well. Staff is courteous and want to satisfy the customer.

At the morning, Andrew came. He changed the side door and let the old frames in place that we have to repair now. He should told me that this also needs to be changed (I was so naïve) since it was broken and It comes with the new door; i was ready to pay for more quality because when my husband looked at it after, he was very disappointed. I am a perfectionist and my husband too. Andrew called his boss before to start the job and he told me that his boss (Vince) asked him to leave after the door because the rain was coming and they had to finish an other project in jeopardy. So Vince text me back for the next appointment for finishing the project. It was supposed to be on Thursday morning last week and I waited all day without any call, no texting, no emails, nothing. That's because, he doesn't want to finish the job and he will not. As soon as they get the money, we have nothing to say. Plus my accent and the fact that I am a woman does not help at all. I do not trust anybody now and I am not sure if I will keep my Angie's list suscription because this is an other story. When they called for a review, it is always late at the night when you are really tired and ready to go to the bed. I was on the phone for about 40 minutes or plus with her (she was nice and polite) responding to all her questions without the correct answers because I wanted to stop it. So was does really mean the A,B,C,D,E,F??????? Sorry but something is wrong. C.Morissette

The handyman was very polite. But he did not give an estimate for the jobs needed. After a full day of work (7 hours) he had only repaired the drip in the toilet and partially completed 2 other tasks. When we asked him how much longer he thought those 2 tasks would take he said he had no idea. He worked the entire next day and did repair the screens, but not the screen door. We cancelled any further jobs because we had already racked up 13.5 hours of labor, which was $607.50. That was not counting materials. Our total bill was $831.29 and after consulting with another handyman service, it should have been less than $300.00.

I asked the company to discover and repair the source of a warped board in my guest bathroom and to replace the board. The worker lifted the toilet to replace a wax ring; he put epoxy on the existing board and re-set it. It remains out of alignment with the rest of the flooring (not flat). He never discussed additional costs for labor to lift and replace the board. In subsequent communications, the owner has provided THREE DIFFERENT reasons for why this work was not performed. I asked the company to replace my kitchen faucet. The worker, who admitted he is a roofer (versus a plumber or true, multi-disciplined handyman) by profession, did not know how to turn the water off to my entire condo (versus just the sink itself) and did not tell me that he was not authorized to replace valves, which proved to be part of the necessary work. He sent me to Lowe's to purchase parts in the wrong size or that are nonexistent. I only got the right ones thanks to the professionals there. He advised me to find out how to shut the water off and that when I did, he would return to complete the repairs. Instead, the owner told me that I would have to call a plumber to complete the repair because his workers are not allowed to replace valves. He said he advised his employee to tell me this, but he did not. I asked the company to replace my bathroom faucet. The worker did so, but left me with a host of new issues, including significantly reduced water pressure and significantly increased wait time for hot water to arrive in the sink. I did not have these issues before the faucet was replaced. The owner of the company blames these brand-new issues on my selection of faucet rather than his employee's incompetence. When a trained professional plumber came to my home to make the kitchen faucet repairs that were not made by this company, he was able to resolve my bathroom faucet issues with a few simple, quick tweaks. The owner of the company, who came to my home on July 4 to assess the situation, responded to my July 7 request for a status update and discussion of a partial refund with a lengthy personal-attack email, among other things calling me passive-aggressive and ignorant, accusing me of demanding free service, “verbal and attitudinal abuse" and, most unbelievably, calling into question my faith with the words: "I hope that you find your place at the foot of the cross." This sanctimonious self-righteousness is entirely inappropriate in a business setting, as is this completely unwarranted personal attack on me. I hired this company to perform certain tasks in my home and expected to have hired skilled professionals. That was not the case. At no point did I personally attack the owner for conducting business in such an unethical fashion. I was truly stunned to be addressed in such a disrespectful and unprofessional manner. He continued his personal attacks in the public forum of the BBB website and refused to refund the money I paid for work that was not completed at all or not completed satisfactorily. Beware of engaging this company for any services.

Fantastic. Electrician was hard working and thorough. Vince does a great job communicating.

I loved working with Vince and his subcontractors. They did an amazing job on fixing and restoring our back deck. They worked within my schedule and listened to me needs. Loved how they made sure we were always on the same page about the work too.

On time pro got the job done right!

We had a great experience with Vince and the Bizzzy Bee. They were responsive, professional, and the work got done quickly and without any problems. The person hired came to our house twice, and both times they were very punctual. Will definitely hire again.

Excellent, no complaints, 2 men came and work steadily all 3 days , they had a good attitude and where professioal. Ask for my imput on the vision I had in regards to the floating decks, meet me at Lowes to pick out and material and delivered it to my home. The decks came out beautifully, after they where built, they stayed and help unload mulch and dirt from my car, dug holes and help plant about a dozen plants. This is the only company I use to do work around my house, I allways get excellent and professional serice, and would highly recommend the company.

Once they were able to fit me in the schedule it went great.

It went well. We are very pleased with their work.

I pre purchased a 4 hour job on Angie's List. They claimed the total job was 6.75 hours to complete the above work including time to go pick up supplies at the store which they did not ask me to get myself and I had no idea they were going to the store to get. This job should have been able to be completed in 4 MAX 5 hours if generous. 1 hour for the curtains 1 hour for the backsplash. 20 minutes for the door and 1 hour for hanging the pictures, filling and retouching. The job was not done logically to minimize time, no need to pay for spackle and paint to dry or for them to run to the store when I was perfectly capable. They removed .75 hours after my shock, but belittled me for it. The work was decent quality, but it's on the slow side and there is a lot of down time that you pay for. Just be aware!

Excellent. Everything was performed as requested.

The guys that came out were efficient and professional, they completed the list of task I gave them. They even took care of a few items that they saw needed to be done without my asking them.

After a pretty solid experience with a previous project, I was very disappointed with the results for our recent work. For starters, I gave very specific descriptions of what needed to be addressed but the technicians did not have the right skill set for everything. It was as if they were the only guys available so they were just thrown on the job. Busy Bee should have checked they had the right skills or found the right guys to do the job. Either way, it's their problem. Additionally, some of the work performed was done with a lazily effort and resulted in poor quality. I had these guys come out because we did not have time to do a decent job ourselves, so it was pointless to pay someone to do a probably worse job. Lastly, as was the same for both experiences w/ Busy Bee, there's palpable deceit and unprofessionalism when it comes to quoting and billing. This is one of those 'bait and switch' companies that quote you based on a bunch of assumptions that they make but don't disclose, and then jack up the costs before completion. I told the owner that had he told me what the true cost would have been, which he could calculate by asking about aspects of the work easily known beforehand, I wouldn't have selected them (this probably explains why they don't give accurate quotes). Instead of working with me or taking ownership, he was inflexible with the ridiculous cost overages. Poor form, sir.

When I first contacted Bizzy Bee, I was hesitant, because you read about all of the horror stories about people being ripped off and scammed, but I thought, surely, it couldn't happen to me. I chose what I thought was a reputable person to complete some work in my home. I purchased the 4 hour offer, thinking that, 2 handles {handicap} bars to be put in the walls, a safe {medium size} to be bolted into the floor with 4 screws, and an outdoor light to be replaced. I really thought 4 hours was more then enough to do these jobs. Now, Vince {owner} wanted to come out to the house to actually see what I was talking about, so I said, ok, he came out and looked and left after we discussed what needed to be done. {visit #1}. He sent me, via email, pictures of the handicapped bars that he had. I told him No, that was not what I had described to him, and then sent him the pictures of the bars { hand grips} that I wanted, now at this point, in hindsight, I probably should have just gone out and got them myself, but foolishly, I was thinking that he would have better and cheaper access to purchasing them cheaper then I would, dumb move on my part. He then sent his sister {?} to my house with the hand grips. Why? I don't know. Anyway, when she got here they were the wrong bars {visit #2}. so she takes them back to get the right ones. A few days later she calls me and says she has the right ones and will bring them by {visit #3}. All 3 visits were requested by vince, not me, and later on he tries to tell me that he went out of his way to come to my house 3 times on his own time! We set a day to have the handy man come, and it was decided by vince to have an electrician come out and swap out the light. This means that when you have a specialized person come out, that takes a 2 hour minimum out of however many hours you have purchased. The joker that he has shows up, blocks my driveway so that I cannot even pull into to park, and seemed really upset that he has to get back into his truck and move it so that I can pull into my own driveway. I go back into the house to check on the other guy, who vince should thank his lucky stars that he has working for him, and about 20 minutes later the handy man tells me that the "electrician" left! I said "what??" He didn't even tell me that he was leaving,nor that the light was switch was working! During that time The handyman put the bars up, that took 20 minutes, excellent job there! Bolted the safe to the floor, took another 25 minutes, great job there. I figured I still had an hour left of the time that I purchased, so we went out to make sure the outside light was working properly....and surprise, surprise, NOT WORKING! The handyman told me he could fix it.....now I have lights on both ends of the house, so he came in and asked me did I want him to go and get the lights to replace the ones that were burned out, so I said yes....Again, the electrician should have made sure they were both working properly before he just up and left after 20 minutes, and when I questioned vince on this, he replied "according to his GPS, the electrician was here 45 minutes" News quote here vince, any GPS on the Apple phone can be manipulated, time and place, so that is no true indicator of how long your electrician was here!And the man should have at least made sure the light was working before he just up and left without even telling me! So vince did offer to send him back, but the guy should have never left an unfinished job in the first place! You really think that I am going to trust this joker now?? So back to the handyman, he left, and went and got the lights. Came back, installed them and made sure they both worked, but all in all it took him an hour and a half to do this. I got overcharged on the handle bars, got charged, $15.00 each, when Lowe's had them for $5.99 each, vince's reply to that was, you should have got them myself then...real professional there. vince also states in his ad that his guys will let you know when your time is up and get your permission to extend it if need be, well I was NOT told that my time was up. I knew I had an hour left, knew that I was already shortchanged from the electricians time, and it took the hour I had left from my handyman time for him to fix the electrician's job, so the kicker was when he came in the house and told me I owed another $132.95! He said you ran over your time when I HAD TO GO TO THE STORE......NEVER DID HE TELL ME THAT, NOR DID HE GET MY PERMISSION TO GO PAST THAT TIME! ALL HE SAID WAS, "DO YOU WANT ME TO GO AND GET THE LIGHTS"! THAT WAS IT! So all that being said, I would NOT trust nor would I recommend this guy.

Vince and his crew are the best. We have used them for the past 7 years for all inside and outside repairs. They have a guy that can do anything you need - and has the experience to do it right! Very happy with all of their work and will use them again!

Excellent, except for one minor error (the support rails are upside down on one set of shelves, cosmetic only).

it went well. However, I should have read the fine print because I explained clearly on the phone what work was needed. However, once he arrived at my home, he said he had to go to Lowes to pick up picture hangers and spackling. This time was included in the time to perform the work. I would expect them to pick up supplies first. However, the fine print did say this but I should have read through.

I would give them all A's. It was a big deal thru AL. I paid the $180 and got a $50 rebate. The guy was very, very nice. He asked me what I wanted done and did it. He did what I could not do. There's some things I can do, but outside electricity, I'm not touching it. They guy came out and did an excellent job. I was very happy. I would use them again. I would call for a quote first. It worked out beautiful. There was another minor thing they did, but I can't remember what it was. They did three outside lights and two of them were against some damage masonite. I had what I needed to get done. I was very happy. There was more to it than just electric. Knowing how to mount certain things. He cleaned up after himself.

It went very well. The work I needed to have done required the work of an electrician and a general handyman. The contractors were courteous and professional. Please be advised that the prices i.e., 4 hours ($180) is just the base price. The price will increase depending on the work needed to be done.

Excellent. Vince's team works hard and does a great job every time!

It went great. We were selling our house, bizzzy bee helped get it looking great. Their cleaning services were excellent too.

Over the past few years, I've used Bizzzy Bee several times, and I've always been pleased (or else I wouldn't keep calling them back). Vince has a wonderful crew who are very skilled and professional. Several times I thought the problem was one thing, but after Vince or one of his crew looked at it, it turned out to be something completely different, and their solution was the correct and often cheaper solution.
