All Handy Services LLC

I was very pleased with Brandon's work. He was nice and easy to talk to. He suggested things I could do myself to reduce the cost and worked within my budget. I appreciate his honesty and how easy he and Carrie were to work with. I will be hiring him in the future for further projects!

On time, professional. Fair price.

Update: Evidently his charge was not out of line at all (according to my neighbors)-- my expectations were out of line. So I've changed the evaluation of his charges -- and I need not only to change it but to apologize for the first evaluation. At the same time, I'd note that although it's true that he offered to quote the job, he did not do so "repeatedly" and I did not decline "repeatedly". My wife was in the hospital and the work needed to be done and since it was. And, again, when I asked after the work was done how much we owed, he declined to tell me -- which created the suspicion that we were going to be overcharged -- and which factored into my grading the overall experience of doing business with him as a "C" grade . I would have called him directly to apologize, however, he is evidently no longer in business judging by the fact that the phone number is no longer in service, so it may not matter. Original review: Our dryer vent, which is 8 feet+ up on the side of the house, has a grill covering to prevent birds from nesting. In November we noticed the grill had collected dryer lint. The fire hazard potential was pretty slight, but we figured we needed it takenc are of. I bought a ladder to do the 15 minute job myself, but the ladder was a tad too wide to fit between a garden window and the A/C unit, so we decided to hire it done. All Handy Services is located nearby and sounded professional, so we called them. By this time it's mid-December and we're in the midst of winter storms. I told him he didn't need to come in bad weather, but he responded promptly anyway -- despite having to wade thru a couple of feet of snow and plant his ladder in that stuff. When he was done, I asked how much we owed him. He said he'd invoice us. A few weeks later we got a bill for $80. Had I known it would cost that much, I wouldn't have called him. Note: The cost is the only reason we'd hesitate to use him again. We have no quarrel with the quality of his work (though it wasn't a job that called for a lot of skill.). He seemed very knowledgeable and professional and certainly was prompt. And he had to drive his truck here and work on a hellacious winter's day. But it was a job I could have done myself in 15" on an average day if I'd had a ladder that was an inch narrower, so paying $80 bothered a bit.

Late for arrival - but very professional.

The quoting process went smoothly and Brandon was open to suggestions to make the job go well. He was able to complete most of the jobs with limited interaction and oversight from us and did a great job on all the work. He was also very flexible in working around our schedules and also as challenges came up within the projects. We would certainly hire him again for future work!

I cannot say enough positive things about Carrie and Brandon. We live in Wisconsin but still own a substantial investment property in Lafayette, IN. We have been using All Handy Services to do needed upkeep maintenance on the house as it is listed on the market and needs to stay in tip-top order for potential buyers. Carrie and Brandon respond to our requests in a very timely fashion. The quality of work they do is top-notch and they clean up after their work well, too. Their communication with us is one of the best professional examples of communicating that I have ever come across. They are polite, but clear with what they can and cannot do. Our only wish is that they came as far north as Wisconsin!

Brandon quoted me a price of $475 and told me this was a high quote because he might have to custom order gable vents or completely change the size of the vent openings. What brandon did is put a standard sized gable vent in that was too small for the opening and then put a smaller piece of vent on top of that to fill in the rest of the opening. The vents do no look good but they are functional. Brandon only worked on the job for less than an hour. My wife an I were home the entire time he was there. Because custom vents were not ordered and the opening size was not changed, I expected to pay less than the quote of $475. The invoice I received had $50 for materials and $425 for labor. This means labor will cost you over $500 an hour if you go with All Handy Services. To make things worse when I expressed that I felt I was being overcharged I received an email that was anything but friendly and they made no attempt to right their wrongs.

We have never worked with any company that was so personal, and yet very, very professional. We heartily recommend Brandon's services. If he did not feel comfortable taking on a particular aspect of the project he clearly let us know that. I only wish we had access to someone like this in our Wisconsin area!

after doing the estimate, waited a week to determine they were not capable of doing the work.

Brandon did a fine job. I'm very pleased!

I contacted Brandon about the job - afraid it might be too little a job for a professional. He assured me it was not. He even came on short-notice on a day I happen to be home from work dealing with another matter. The job was done quickly and professionally. Cannot recommend him highly enough. It is great to have someone you can truly trust to do a job you can't do yourself.

The service provided was what was asked for and expected

He was flexible, helpful, trustworthy and did a great job! He made good choices that were helpful to me and saved me money. He also did a great job cleaning up everything and getting us all set up.
