Vince Curcio - The Bizzzy Bee

I've used a few times with positive results.

One guy came to do the work on 3/7/16, I asked how one man was going to move my sofas and he agreed that at least two men should be doing the moving. He said he would do what he could and he hung two flat screen T.Vs, and the time was up so I paid him additional to hang my pictures and mirrors. In the process he moved my bar and I asked him to not move it because it's very heavy and he again moved it back. After the man left, I found that the leg on my bar was cracked so I called them back and they sent him back out to look at it on 3/10/16. The man denied breaking the leg on my bar, and said someone else must have broke it, I know for a fact no one else has moved or touched my $8,000 bar. When he moved the bar from the original location, I wasn't in the room. I came back in and was very upset when I found he moved it with out asking. He did a good job hanging the T.Vs and an OK job with the pictures.

I got the estimate in a timely manor with what the low end and the highest cost would be. A nice woman showed up to prep the deck. She was alone so she could not lift a planter off of the deck. So she just worked around it ( i think this should have been removed instead. That's like painting a room but not behind the furniture). I had a gallon of the deck stain already. She and Vince told me that I needed to purchase a 5 gallon bucket. That was $200.00, and they might have used a gallon of it. A few days after she stained it, it started peeling up. At first in just a couple of places, then in several more. I called Vince back, he came out and looked at it and told me that they would put on another coat. I asked if he thought that the surface had been prepped properly in the first place. He was very nice and assured me that it would be fine. So, I asked him about doing some other repairs both inside and outside my place. He promptly sent an estimate. I agreed to proceed with the new work. He gave me dates of a Wednesday or Thursday. I took those days off so I could let them in and out and to also keep my dogs out of their way. I didn't hear from him on Wednesday so I assumed they were coming Thursday. At noon on Thursday, I texted him to find out where they were. He said they weren't coming. I told him that I had taken time off from work and could he not have called me to let me know? I got a lot of excuses some good, some not. At any rate, I asked him to please let me know what the plans are since that's just how it should be done. We made another agreement for the same time frame. They didn't come the first day or the second day. Again I texted him to ask where they were. So, I cancelled my second contract. Someone came out on a Sunday and put on a second coat ( they removed the planter this time, it's still sitting out in the yard). And of course, I didn't get the call that they were coming that day until about 20 minutes before they came. So I had to race home from across town to get the stain out for them. I'm hoping that the stain will hold on the deck. The paint department at Lowe's told me that the reason it peeled up was because the surface was not prepped properly. So only time will tell. I think that contractors need to be respectful of their clients time, and they need to be more familiar with the quantities of materials they request. Total cost, 1060.00

It went very well and quickly. The guys were extremely polite and professional along with very efficient.

We were not able to agree on a time so he refunded me my money

Worker was so slow. Told me his life story. He talked about his kids, his TV's, living in Florida, hurting his knee, his kids, the Panthers, what he likes to cook, his sleeping troubles and his next jobs. It was exhausting. He also took about 10 phone calls while "working." I thought he was just being nice so it didn't bother me until he charged me for 2 extra hours of labor. I was floored. So essentially I paid him $100 extra to bore me to death. Owner took employee's side and was apathetic.

Vince and his guys are top notch. Vince was always very responsive during the scheduling process, and his employees are prompt, professional, and do great work. I can't recommend them enough!

They did exactly what I wanted and cleaned up after themselves. I did not have them paint although they would have. I was getting the house painted anyway.

It was good. The price wasn't great but it wasn't real bad either. I would rather them get the supplies and such ahead of time so that the time you're suppose to be here isn't being wasted by trips to the hardware store.

Everything went well. If there were questions, such as "is it too cold to paint outside"? They contacted Vince and went and bought special paint . They completed much more than I thought possible in the time they were here. AND, to show you how well respected this company is, Vince, the owner, called me that night, to find out how everything went. That shows an honest, caring person is in charge!

I can't believe it has taken me this long to write this review! Busy Bee came through BIG for us. In the hottest week of the summer, our incredible stainer (I'm so sorry I forgot her name!) showed up and worked several days in 100 degree weather to stain our huge double tiered deck that has so many slats and lattice around the base. We were in the middle of a family emergency, so my mom was here all day watching the house. When the woman staining the deck finished the first coat, she wasn't satisfied with the look of it and did a 2nd coat without charging us for it. I cannot stress how huge that was. This is a BIG DECK, and she spent another full day in the brutally hot weather to put a 2nd coat on all the spindles and railing areas. Mom was impressed with her attention to detail while she worked. When she found out about what was happening in our family she spoke kindly and supportively with my mom, which reassured her during a difficult time, all while staining the deck in the ridiculous heat. Words cannot express how I feel about Vince Curcio and his Busy Bee company. Additionally, a few months before the deck job, they had repaired a leaky window and did a great job on that one too! They are the ONLY company I will ever call for handyman services. This is a unique company run by truly kind, caring people.

Vince and his crew are fantastic. They always showed up as scheduled, kept me informed on every step of the process (especially when weather delayed activities like exterior painting), and they were exceptionally flexible with all my requests and explaining the best way to tackle the repairs. My list of items was HUGE, and they were able to tackle all of it and did a perfect job for a very reasonable price. They even worked with the structural engineer to make sure the roof trusses were repaired as needed. There is no substitute!

It was great and I do not appreciate being forced to type in this block.

Vince and/or his wife were constantly in touch with me....followed up with me. I will definitely contact this company for my next home repair needs. Such nice people. Thank you for being so thoughtful and checking back with me.

After reading the review the company sounded too good to be true. A's on most reviews. I called left a message with no response. I believe I also emailed as I am now on their mailing list and getting flyers that do not pertain to the work I was looking for. I really cant rate them as they never responded....

Wow! Most impressive is the cost. No gimmicks, no shady business regarding their fees. The guy was able to do all the odd jobs that was presented to him. Although it took him over a course of about 4 days, it was well worth it. The work was completed, looked nice, and you can't beat the price with a stick. I promise you won't find anyone else any cheaper here in the Charlotte area. Popcorn ceilings are a hard job when trying to get it looking to almost it's original state. This guy did a perfect job (I can't remember his name). Will definitely use them from here on out whenever I have a home project that needs to be completed.

The experience was great - all the work was completed in a timely manner, and as promised. The electrician was punctual and professional, and he clearly explained everything as he progressed through the jobs.

Overall, I was severely disappointed in The Bizzzy Bee after reading all the other reviews they had. I was hoping to get solid service to handle a couple of jobs I needed to address immediately due to discovered leaks when we returned from our Thanksgiving trip. It took a while to get with them to schedule and the quality of service was mixed. They did fix the water damage under sink by replacing the flooring and replacing both the garbage disposal and faucet. I am ok with that portion of the work. But I needed them to deal with the water damage in the ceilings next. They asked what other work I may need them to do and I showed them but I was specific that they need to fix the water damage spots first and if there is time left in day, to work on the other projects since they indicated they could fix that damage in less than a day. I had to leave for a business trip but my wife was home to let them in. They came back and focused on the other projects and not the water damage. So completely opposite of what I needed. To me, that was just to charge more money because they knew I needed the water damage fixed and waited to do it last. And they screwed up on the schedule and made me wait days for them to come back to fix what they should have fixed in the first place. They were also slow as compared to other handymen I used in the past. They also left cigarette butts on my yard (no one in my house smokes) and dumped a chunk of the mud in my yard that is still there and hardened. They didn't even dump it in a garbage bag and throw it out. Just disappointed and recommend never using these guys. I won't.

The business could have at least said they were not able to do job but left me hanging. Never to this date called to apologize for the inconvenience caused by the lack of professionalism.

A previous contractor incorrectly installed the back door on a rental property. We subsequently called Bizzzy Bee, who came immediately, replaced the back door with a new one with expertise. The contractor picked up the door we purchased, replaced frame, transition ledge at the bottom of the door, cleaned up after himself and informed the tenant and myself what was done incorrectly. We were extremely satisfied with their service professionalism and cost.

I originally got the quote for work back in July and they came and fixed the joist and put in a proper crawl space door. Then I didn't hear anything from them until November for them to do the crawl space clean out. I was quoted 2 men for 1 day to clean out the crawl space. They came and did that. I was not home the following day and apparently they came a second (unapproved) day. They came again for a third day. I still had not been told about the need for additional days until the evening of the third day. They are very up front with their hourly rate, but I was quoted a $1,600 job and the bill had run up to over $4,000 before I was told the new number of days required. I would not have approved the additional days since I did not budget more than $2,000 since I thought that was an acceptable buffer for this job. Now I'm being billed more than double my original quote. They also sent 3 men instead of 2 and said the third was just a "helper" rate, but still I did not approve that. Also I was asked if my fiance had inspected their work. I don't have a finace and I get really mad when I'm the one who does all of the communication with a contractor and they feel the need to ask to talk to a man instead.

They were okay. I don't have any major problems with them. It was just that I did not understand their pricing that well but they sent me a pricing schedule later on, but at that time I did not understand what was going on. The work was great. I didn't have any problems with it even with the cold weather. It seems sturdy. They came out very quickly and they were very punctual. They were professional.

Bizzy Bee sent Ray Cannon. Very nice guy. Personable, polite. He liked my dog.

We contacted Vince and his company on Angies List and the response was very prompt. My wife outlined what we were looking to do, and once we had the fans, the electrician Gary arrived at our house on a Monday mid-afternoon. Gary was extremely professional and did a great job. Vince was always very prompt and professional in responding to phone calls and emails. We will continue to use The Bizzzy Bee for our household needs. Very highly recommended!!!

I purchased the big deal and provided some proposed dates for service. Bizzy Bee contacted me back promptly. Since I had some electrical work and some mechanical work, we decided to split the service over a couple of days. They were very accommodating of my schedule. On the designated work days they arrived promptly and completed the work in excellent time and high quality. They were especially helpful in picking out some replacement lights and getting some additional items that were needed from the local hardware store. Superb job!
