Response from American Handyman
Mr. [Member Name Removed] had been a client of mine since 2014. As you can see below, he rated me an A. Now he is rating a C but the job was completed back in 11/2018. Not sure why he waited so long to rate me with a C? He had me hang a fish on the exterior of his shed. He had it marked with tape where he wanted the fish. We hung it according to his markings. It took two of us to hang this fish and it was perfect. When he came back to town he called me and asked me to move the fish 3 inches down from where he had marked it. I explained to him that there was a shelf in the way on the interior and would require the removal of the shelf and rehanging the fish and reinstalling the shelf which would be more work and would cost more for labor. He would not agree to this so the fish is hanging exactly where he had marked it to be. We have done over 12 jobs for him and he was very pleased with all the jobs until this fish, which again, was not our error.

After a face to face meeting in our house to air our concerns, Andrew gave his word in a teary conversation, that a revised estimate on our bathroom remodeling costs would be provided within a week. Well it's November 2014, some 16 months later and he never contacted us again.
Description of Work: There was a tremendous amount of items that we wanted done. He did the repairs to our front door (approximately $750 I think), put a kitchen pantry door on ($300), but it all stopped when he never gave us a revised estimate. Our bathroom was left unusable and unfinished.

Response from American Handyman
These people have lost their minds....I went to this house and told them I would work up an estimate for them on the bathroom after I completed the door installation. They had mentioned to me they wanted to tear out the bathroom and I recommended they NOT do this until they are sure they will be happy with the price. When I went back to install another door, they had gutted the bathroom themselves and did a HORRIBLE job! I told them it was going to be a lot of work to fix the bathroom and they said they could not afford a lot of money. I do not work for free! I tried several times to make them happy to no avail. I highly recommend you NOT do work for these people! They have no money and they do not listen! This was almost 2 years ago and NOW she is writing to complain about something that was their fault. I truly believe she has tried to get several people to do this bathroom and NO ONE wants to touch it or their prices are just not cheap enough for them. So sorry that they don't have the money. They should of never ripped out their bathroom like that!

Hi [Member name removed], I think you may have the wrong company? We do not have a file for a [Member name removed] and we have not performed any roof work in quite some time.

He came out and gave an estimate the next day after I emailed him. He kept in communication with us and showed up when expected. He was professional and easy to work with. His final price was exactly what he quoted.

Everything went well. I appreciated the honesty by the vendor and will definitely consider using them in the future for other types of work.
Description of Work: I reached out to this contractor for an estimate on shingle repair and a roof cleaning. The vendor was not able to perform the work due to the type of equipment needed however I appreciated his honesty and he also gave me some advice on how to help prevent the staining on the roof shingles.

He is wonderful. He responds to my phone calls quickly. His rates are incredibly reasonable. He does a good job. He is honest. My experience with him has been very positive. We had a catamaran stored underneath our house at the beach and he had to cut down some bushes in order to get the catamaran out. It has been under there for about ten years. There was a lot of growth around it. Our house is on a hill and it was a very tough job. He is doing some work for us on our dock as well. We would rate him highly. We intend to use him again.

Andrew was very quick to come out and give an estimate for the painting and wall preparation. He also found several areas that needed attention and pointed them out to us and priced them. It was a big job and he had some personnel challenges while performing the scheduled work, but he stayed on the job and saw it to completion. It took a little longer than expected, but he stuck by his price and performed all the work on the work order.He did a quality job!!! I highly recommend Andrew, he is honest, trustworthy and a true professional. He will be our handyman at the beach for as long as he wants to be.
