Handyman Unlimited

Richard was excellent to work with. He is very detail-oriented, and did a fantastic job on our tiled backsplash (about 55sq ft). We will definitely use him on the future. Thanks, Richard!

Richard was polite and very hard-working. He did a neat job and cleaned up after himself every day. I would definitely use him again.

Extremely well; I completely agree with the other reviews. Richard has done many jobs for us over the years (including painting our entire house) and we are always pleased with his work. I very much appreciate his attention to detail and neatness, as well as his creativity in tackling complicated and involved jobs.

GREAT!! Richard evaluated and solved a problem for us. He cleaned up behind himself both times he was here. That is the mark of a good workman.

They painted the entire door and when they were finished, it looks new. I can't say enough about how pleased I am at the work done and the price was very reasonable. Thank you Richard and son! You saved me so much money by not having to replace the entire door. I will definitely ask Richard to do more jobs as they arise.

He was very nice. Very punctual, did a very neat job. Cleaned up his mess. Charges were fair and reasonable. I would definitely use him again and recommend him highly.

Richard was able to do the job with very short notice. He was accessible and responsive. Very friendly and professional. Did the job quickly and cleaned up afterwards. Very good quality job. Will definitely contact again for future jobs.

The living room has a tongue and groove wood ceiling. It's vaulted and angled with no attic above it. I wanted ceiling fans and recessed lighting installed, but a couple electricians who came out told me the job was impossible. Finally, I found an electrician who came up with a strategy to install the fans and lighting so that the wiring was all tucked up underneath the ceiling -- no ugly wire molding. But the work involved carpentry skills. Paul Murrell (my electrician) and Richard devised a plan that required making a cut along the grooves in order to remove a board. He called Richard Byers to assist him. It was a complex job that no one else was willing to tackle. Together, Richard and Paul managed to do all the work in one day. Their work was meticulous! You can't tell which wood board was cut (they stained the edge to match the existing ceiling so it's invisible). It looks as if the house was designed and built with the fans and lighting. The price was more than fair for the amount of work involved. I'm so impressed and happy with the final result!

Richard is incredibly efficient and exacting- Other reviews say "meticulous," and I agree. At the end of every day, Richard was sure to clean up and leave all areas neat. He allowed the kitchen to be as useable as possible. He made great recommendations and suggestions. Before adding molding to the ceiling, he had to remove 27 yr old wallpaper border. He did this easily and seemed to have the molding up in no time. I had some very plain, unfinished-looking areas on cabinets and walls that he enhanced with molding, as well. In order to install the backsplash I wanted, he had to take out a cabinet above the microwave so he did this, raised the microwave, and made a box for a future wine rack above the microwave with left-over room. He installed new backsplashes beautifully. Some of the cabinet doors were a bit crooked and the counters were not level. He fixed them, as well. Richard and an electrician friend of his installed canned lighting in the ceiling, added pendant lights, and changed out the chandelier. They also installed under counter lighting and moved outlets for more convenience. Incidentally, they also installed a ceiling fan in a bedroom. Richard has also done many other jobs for me. Recently, he installed a hot tub on my deck, replaced rotten boards, painted the deck, and secured it underneath for the weight of the tub. He installed new railings, as well. Richard power washed the area, including my deck cushions. Richard is as non-invasive as possible by being as quiet as the job allows and by being courteous in manner and approach. He is polite, well-spoken, and seems to enjoy challenging jobs. He is not passive in his thinking, but rather he is always problem-solving and engaged. He wants the customer to be happy with the job he has done. He is happy when he can walk away knowing his customer is satisfied-who wouldn't want someone like him working for them! Richard has family members who can help him when the job calls for more than one person ( such as installing a hot tub). His daughter is a handy-woman by profession and he has sons who help him at times.

He did great work and was very friendly.

Once again, Richard did a perfect job as requested - and then some. He even provided some materials so I didn't need to buy extra. This is the third time he has done work for me and he has always been great. He is the best handyman I have ever hired.

Great. on time. great quality. very professional.

Beautiful work; I'm very happy with it. Thank you Richard !!!

Richard is absolutely METICULOUS. He arrived daily at the time he said he would. He laid tarps from our front door all the way to the master bathroom so he could come and go without getting dirt into the house. He removed the tile from our shower and showed us exactly what the problem was that caused the leak and explained what needed to be done to fix it. It was very apparent that he is a master plumber/carpenter/handyman. He gave suggestions on what kind of tile to look for and how to match it to the original tile as best as possible. The job required that the tile be removed from the entire shower from waist height....down. Richard jack-hammered everything out all the way to the subfloor and showed us what was happening to cause the leak. He removed all of the rotting/molded wood and replaced everything in between the floors. He used the highest quality materials and explained to us every step and why he was doing it. He reworked the drain that was not draining properly. The previous installers had used ROOFING NAILS to nail down the cement board with no glue. Richard explained to us that a special type of screw was supposed to be used WITH a special kind of glue to keep the screws from coming out and cracking the grout (when the floor expands and contracts due to temperature changes). He showed us numerous other things that had been done incorrectly and showed us how he was addressing each issue. At the end of each day, Richard cleaned and shop vacuumed his way out of the bathroom all the way to the front door and left virtually no trace that he had been there. Richard came back at the end of the job and sealed the tile and grout. He was kind, courteous, and well spoken. Our shower looks even better than it did when it was first renovated and I know it will last a lifetime due the meticulous work ethic of this handyman. This was the most positive experience we have ever had with a home maintenance person. It was worth every penny to have this peace of mind. Richard is awesome and we highly recommend him.

I called the cell telephone number while Richard was out of town He returned my call promptly We discussed what services I needed at my home.When he returned to Phoenix we made an appointment for him to give me an estimate. We discussed the work needed and Richard came back the next morning to do the job. it took less than an hour, it was done quickly and professionally, Richard is personable, I would use his services again,

We did not use this provider; however, Handyman Unlimited was very professional and prompt in giving a bid on services. We would definitely use them in the future.

The experience was excellent (the best we have had) the work was on time, on budget with done with great care and neatness. We had been referred to Richard by a friend and he was as advertised. We highly recommend Richard and have asked him to bid on another project and are looking forward to working with him in the future.

You need to know that Richard is WONDERFUL. He remodeled our master bathroom in three weeks, never missing a day of work there, always giving it his best effort, always pleasant and kind. He gave us great advice concerning elements of the renovation, and took pride in every element of his work. The end result is an absolutely beautiful brand new bathroom that we will enjoy for years, and we are so thankful that we chose Richard to be the one to remodel it!!

You just cannot go wrong with Richard and his daughter. Period. He was out to our home quickly to examine the work to be done. Courteous, pleasant, neat, very focused and meticulous. Condition of his truck and work trailer bespoke professionalism. Takes great pride in his work. More than a handyman, he is a craftsman. He was prompt every day. He kept a very clean worksite and took great care to ensure that he did not damage the home interior in any way. He welcomed questions, no matter how "dumb", and he was extremely patient in explaining his procedures as he went along. The work took four days, and during that time I found additional honey-do items that were not on the original agenda. Richard cheerfully added those jobs without any qualms whatsoever. He was very careful to ensure that he closed doors, as our cat is an "indoors cat" with no front claws. The match between the color of paint and the existing siding was excellent. There were several other items needing attention at a later date, and Richard was freely providing advice on what I could do about them or what he would do if I hired him again. We have had our home for 17 years. I've had many repairs/upgrades done to the structure and appliances and HVAC. While I've dealt with some exceptional folks providing those services, Richard is at the top of the list. I expect to pay a higher price for top quality that lasts; with Richard I received top quality AND a very reasonable price. You simply cannot go wrong with this service--I already have another list for Handyman Unlimited! And I have that peace of mind knowing that whatever happens in the future, I do not have to wade through the yellow pages or Angie's List or word-of-mouth to find someone to handle the work. With complete confidence, I'll just give Richard a call.

Everything we discussed was addressed professionally.

Richard is non-stop and I really like the way he does work, he is very clean and efficient and I wouldn't use anyone else.

It went wonderfully. He is like full blast all the time; he never slows down or takes breaks. He’s amazing guy. The pricing is good. He is incredibly nice, an all-around good guy. He is very polite. He doesn’t waste any time and he’s extremely knowledgeable.

We did not get past the initial phone call because he said he was too busy and booked until summer and referred us to his daughter. He really seemed more interested in getting business for his daughter than anything else. We chose not to call her because she is not on Angie's List and we decided to call someone else.

Richard is an absolute professional and joy to work with. He is utmost of meticulous, very detail focused and wants his work to be perfect! Which it is!!! I am very particular about how I want things done and Richard is more particular than I am which allowed me to relax about the entire project. We needed some painting done in addition to the tile work which we thought had been hired out to another contractor, that fell through. We asked if Richard if he could complete the work; though he was scheduled for another job he said he would make sure it would be completed either by him or his daughter Jenny. Jenny came and evaluated the project and gave us a quote that we felt was reasonable and she started the next day. Both Jenny and Richard's work is flawless. We have other projects we would like to consider for the future and we will definitely call on them to complete! Thank you!!!

Richard Byers worked in our home almost every day for several weeks. His daughter asisted him routinely during this time. They were very prompt and professional, and extremely nice people who were very easy to work with. We were completely comfortable during the entire process having them in our home alone. We were pleasantly surprised how clean their work was, especially involving the replacement of the popcorn ceiling. There was almost no dust involved. Their painting work was excellent, on ceilings and walls. Richard did an excellent job on the bathrooms, and we are very pleased with the tile work in all areas. He is very skilled in renovation work. One of the most important things to us was that virtually all work was done by Richard and his daughter, so we did not have to worry about dealing with a lot of different workers/service providers. As time went on, they became more like friends than just a service provider. Both my wife and I felt very comfortable asking any questions, requesting changes in the work, etc. and Richard was always polite and accomodating. He never answered our questions or requests in a condescending manner, which is something we have experienced with other service providers in the past. In summary, we would recommend Handyman Unlimited to anyone needing this type of work, and we had an excellent experience. We plan to use Handyman Unlimited again in the near future for additional work on our house.
