My home needed pressure washing. I made an appointment for 10AM with Sylvester. Much to my surprise, he rang my door bell at exactly 10AM. He quickly started working to remove mold from my home's exterior. I have a 2500 sq ft home so there was much to be done. He did an AMAZING job!!! I didn't even have any damage to shrubbery. He was so conscientious and by the time he left in mid afternoon, my home looked so clean. I will definitely be calling him in the future to do some other jobs. We all need a handyman. Thanks, Sylvester!

I would have had to come back out to Kernersville the next day on order to complete the job, and I had no idea that you felt that way. I will offer you a free walkway pressure washing clean-up if that will make you feel content. Please call me at 336-682-3645

.Sylvester was very punctual, courteous and professional .He had called and left a message to make sure the address was the correct one and to call him if it wasn't. We had bought a big deal coupon for pressure washing for a specified sq. footage and our house was much bigger . He gave us a good price. He is very meticulous and we couldn't believe it he arrived at 9:50 started working at around 10:15 and left at almost 8 o'çlock. We had a $233.00 big deal coupon and we paid $200.00 extra for the extra footage but the work was worth it.

Handyman Services was originally hired with a $99 Andie's List certificate to look at some repairs to the plaster and drywall in an upstairs bathroom. Sylvester Robinson Jr. called, we made an appointment, and he was on time and professional. I had to leave on business and while work was being performed, a plumbing emergency developed in the bathroom that was being worked on. Quick thinking by Mr. Robinson turned a potentially disastrous situation into a positive result. I became a believer that this guy could do anything. When I start to think about putting this house on the market for sale then Handyman Services will be my "go to guy." His work was excellent and his prices were more than fair! Highest recommendation.
Description of Work: The original work done was digging out old plaster that had gotten wet, replastering a part of one wall, scraping and sanding the area and the ceiling and applying a coat of primer on all the surfaces. In addition, an emergency plumbing problem was repaired when a valve burst under a sink.

This was an Angie's List Big Deal and we definitely got a great deal. Mr. Robinson called me within 2 days of my deal purchase and we arranged for services to be performed the following week. Mr. Robinson arrived on time, was very professional and discussed the service and my expectations in detail. Our white gutters and drain spouts were exceptionally soiled with a black film. Mr. Robinson worked diligently all day and we now have gutters that are sparkling like new! I highly recommend Mr. Robinson's pressure washer services. We were so pleased with the services rendered and plan on having him back for another handyman service in the near future.

The whole job went very well. It was started on 1-7 when he found I needed flashing and as he had another job the next day, came back on 1-9 to finish.
Description of Work: I had a gutter pulling away from my house and the Handyman fixed that with skill, promptness and then replaced some flashing. I was impressed with his professionalism and "handiness" with performing exactly what I needed done.

I had trouble getting a hold of this provider originally. I had to have Angie’s List call them. They were reluctant to come out to Greensboro. They did come out but the job was just ok. It was more expensive that it should have been. It took him longer to do the service. He had to run to the store for extra parts.

Sylvester came and replaced my shutters the day after I called him. He was very professional and did an excellent job. I would .recommend him to anyone needing handyman services.
Description of Work: Sylvester Robinson replaced nine pairs of vinyl shutters on my brick house. I had purchased the 3 hours of work for $99 special, however it took close to 8 hours to complete the project. He charged me an additional $240 for the 5 hours which I thought was quite reasonable. The project was made more difficult due to some bushes being in the way. I would say he went above and beyond to complete the job.

I tried to contact the him, but the number wasn't working. I researched and found a different phone number, and left a message. It took him 10 days to get back to me, I then contacted him because I wasn't able to answer the phone at the time. It took him another 10 days to get back in contact with me. I finally got the job scheduled for today and he is late because he stated that he got lost and after he wasted my entire morning. I called him and canceled and am going to get a refund.

I realied on (Mapquest) to find you you, but it was not panning out. Believe me Sir. It was not a picnic asking people at gas stations if they knew where this or that road was. But I didn't give up!

Description of Work: I have already filed a complaint to Angie's list about this provider - probably about a month ago. I have been waiting quite a while to hear back wheather or not you were able to reach (find) the provider. I could not - phone number not in service any more. I was supposed to hear back from you letting me know if $99 dollars would be credited back to my credit card, or if there was some sort of mistake and the provider would get in touch with me. Angie's list staff were great until this the last part of the process of getting back in touch with me about the resolution. NG

Got the Angie's List Big Deal special for window and vinyl siding cleaning. Emailed and left several voice mail messages over a ten day period with no call back to schedule the service. Prior to canceling I got a call back to schedule the service. They showed up on time and did the job. Regarding the quality of the service, most of the house looks good. I have one side that is streaky and unfortunately for me it is facing the road. The window cleaning was a waste of time. We asked if they wanted us to removed the screens but got a non committal response. Bottom line is the screens should have been removed. The crud just collects at the bottom of the screen and makes a real mess. They apparently pressure washed my AC units as well which trip the breaker. I did not know this and ended up calling an AC repair man which costs me $85. In my defense, the air was blowing but would never get cold. Give me a break, I work in IT and I am a total novice when it comes to home repairs. That said, the $85 still stings. Not sure why they washed the AC. In summary the service was just okay. It feels to me like the rushed the job, perhaps due to the high demand for the Big Deal. Not getting a call back for 10 days was a little aggravating. The streaks (still there by the way) are disappointing and the extra bill for the AC repair man makes me less likely to do any more big deals.

I had a little trouble connecting with Sylvestor at first. I think he was overwhelmed with calls. But he did call me and we promptly set an appointment. He arrived on time with all the necessary equipment to get the job done. He did the additional work the next day!
Description of Work: I purchased the 3 hours for $99. THe handyman, Sylvestor Robinson cleaned my gutters and re-caulked my bathroom. I was pleased to get these tasks taken care of for $99. I asked him for an estimate to clean all my gutters, clean the gutters, and power wash my brick walk way and patio. I paid an additional $400 for these services and my house looks terrific!

It was a pleasure to work for you. This review was posted before I could tell you that the only rails that would fit (Your) staircase style was the swirly type as I had already tried the straight bar rail and they stood higher than the rest of the rails and we could not use them. You were delightful to speak and I thank you... That's why I pressure washed your complete walkway for free...
