Scheduled an appointment for someone to come to our home to provide quotes on the various jobs. He was prompt, professional, and knowledgeable. As promised, a proposal was emailed to us the following day. The quotes were reasonable but decided not to do the floor project and went with our regular contractor to do the other two jobs.
Description of Work: Received a consult to see what it would cost to repair the squeaks under our living room carpet as well as a quote to replace a couple of light fixture and repair internal faucett handle hardware.

The technician was timely and very helpful. He explained what he was doing and cleaned up after. Great service, will likely use again for smaller projects/items I don't have time for.
Description of Work: We got a quote for several projects to be completed. They allow you to pick and choose which items to be done on the invoice (or all of them if you wish). We had them put a couple corner pieces of siding that had fallen off as well as repair a window sash.

Quality of work was very good and they were very willing to do any rework requested. The project took longer than they thought and due to the way they schedule it led to some breaks in their work (a few days off here and there). That said, they were great to work with and we're very pleased with the final work. I would definitely use them again.

It was a bad experience due to the fact we thought this would be a fair and honest job.
Description of Work: We purchased a tune up and was told we did not need it. The service tech marked on our receipt that a tune up was performed and everything checked out fine- Totally false. It turns out we needed a new panel for our garage due to the previous installers shabby work. The garage works as it should, but we would never recommend this company to any of our friends, family or co-workers.

I live outside of Omaha and my elderly mother needed her storm door replaced. I arranged everything with Handyman Joes and they did a phenomenal job. The door it is very sturdy and high quality and was installed well. The technician was great. Professional and cleaned up after he was done. We'll use Handyman Joes for future jobs around the house. I highly recommend.
Bob at Handyman Joes was great. Very very professional. Clean and quiet. He did great work. The bid was accurate and work completed on time and as agreed. I would definitely use Handyman Joes again.

The response by Handyman Joe's only reinforces my review. You do not even have the right tasks written down. He did not fix the bathroom sink because he said the chance of cracking the granite was too great. I asked to just seal it/glue it. No to that too. He did not fix the bathroom pull on the drawer (not a doorknob). He did NOT even pull out the anchors in the wall. And the laundry shelves - why do I want more holes for him doing it wrong and having to start all over again? Why call to have another person come out to fix what he didn't or couldn't do? After 2 tries with your company, never again. And I make sure never for any of my friends.
Description of Work: I asked for 2 white wire shelving in laundry room to be put up. He put them in reverse order of what I stated (wanted longer one on the bottom and the shorter shelf above). And one of the shelves is too close to the washer lid and lid hits shelf. I did indicate not to correct it. As far as I was concerned at that point, it was fine enough. Not what I wanted at all, but usable. He continually stated he didn't have the right tools with him (didn't even have putty). Did not fix bathroom cabinet pull. After he left, I noticed that the hole did not go through from one side to the other. So far, both tasks seem like ones any handyman could do in their sleep and am not impressed. The man is very nice, personable. It is lack of talent that bothered me. I used this same organization 2 years ago and ruined my front door. When I made this appointment, I asked to not have the same person as 2 years ago. I was told he was no longer working there. It is for this reason that I decided to try the company again. I will not make a 3rd mistake.

I'm sorry that your experience was not in line with our customers' usual "A rating" experience. We warranty all of our work for one year. A call to our office would have remedied your problem. We could have sent another technician or had the original technician return to make it right. Our records show that you wanted a door knob replaced on your bathroom door, your sink needed to be re-secured to the wall, you needed to remove some wall anchors and install wire shelving in your laundry room. The technician should have had the proper tools to do these jobs. If he did not, we apologize.
They were very quick and responsive. Had a guy come out to do an estimate and gave us a quote fairly quikcly. We had 4 different vendors to look at our fireplace and they all recommended taking off the siding and re-insulating the firebox on the exterior wall to eliminate the draft problem. They told me that they would know more once they had a look at the insulation and took a look at the back of the fireplace. So I agreed to to let Handyman Joes complete the work. The staff was very friend and professional.

Overall went well. We had trouble finding someone to come out and do work on our home - no contractors would call us back! Handyman Joe's has an office manager, so they were always very responsive which we greatly appreciated. I feel like you pay a bit of a premium for this service, but still not bad. Garrett came out and worked on our home. When he wasn't quite sure how to do one part of the project he called another technician for advice, which I thought was very professional of him, instead of just making something up. He did a great job on the drywall and siding replacement in our garage as well. The inspector came out and approved all the work he did as well. Overall we were very happy with the work Handyman Joe's did and would use them again. I especially appreciated that each person I talked to during this course of this project were all extremely friendly and responsive!
Description of Work: Repaired termite damage in our garage which included replacing load-bearing studs, siding, and drywall. He also set up a time with the city inspector to come out and approve the work and pulled all permits.

I apologize if our bid was unclear. Our proposal included a line item for removal and disposal of the existing deck as well as two different options for building the new deck - one using cedar and the other using Trex synthetic deck components. Our bid for the cedar deck was nearly $2000 less than the amount you've indicated that you spent.

They came out right away, the next day or two, they were very fast. I think, altogether it was around $1800 or $1700. I didn't go with them because I decided to split the jobs up and I got a groupon for a handyman to just do the small things and then I got a carpenter to do the deck. I felt good about their service when they came out to evaluate.

Their estimate would have been lower than the two other companies I had give me estimates, but since they mailed me the estimate I did not go with them. I feel that they could have been quicker by using better technology. They sent someone out the next day to give me a quote, so that was pretty good.

The job was estimated for 4 days, but ended up needing a 5th because of the local humidity that week. The Handyman was very friendly and personable. He told me what he was going to do each day, timeframes for morning work, lunch break and afternoon work. Demo took place on the first day after our Handyman laid drop clothes and carpet protectors for easy clean up, taking out tile, drywall, etc. In the afternoon he installed the durock walls. He took the trash from the old tile and drywall to be disposed of. The second day he installed the tile and mosaic tile. There was alot of in and out because he had to cut each of the bottom row tile pieces to fit and be level. This laid the foundation for a level tile wall. The third day he came in the afternoon to install the back splash mosaic tile. The fourth day he came back and fixed some loose tiles and said that it wasn't dry enough to grout, probably due to the humidity. I brought in an extra large oscillating fan (he had supplied a smaller one). We planned for him to come on the weekend to grout and clean up. Grout work was done and a couple of hours of clean up. He did explain that grout is dusty and may take weeks before we're not seeing grout dust on the tile work. He cleaned everything the best he could though. He also explained when I could start using the shower, and how long we needed to wait before using the towel bar and soap dish, as well as waiting to clean the tile and how to care for it afterwards. He also gave me some recommendations for our walls before we paint since we removed wallpaper ourselves. This was my first experience hiring a person to do a make over job like this. I'm very pleased with the results. I can't wait to paint and get this bathroom looking exactly the way I want.
Description of Work: Remove drywall and old tile in bathtub area, remove old tile back splash, install durock on bathtub walls. Install plumbing for showerhead, install new tile and mosaic tile on bathtub walls, install mosaic tile at back splash. Grout tiled areas, install new fixtures and shower curtain rod.

The Handyman came out to give an estimate on our front porch posts which were deteriorating at the base. He also gave me an impromptu estimate for our main bathroom to have the tile replaced. In his estimate, he saved us money by suggesting that we only replace the post and not the and quot;wingsand quot; on each side of the post. He came out early and removed the old posts, cut and installed new posts, secured them to the wings. He also caulked filling in some splits in the post and sealing the wings to the posts, and sealing the base of each post. He took a paint chip off of the old post to match the paint for the next days job and removed all trash. The next day our Handyman returned to paint the posts and wings. The paint matched perfectly. I got to keep the rest of the paint for future touch ups. He did said it would only need one good coat, however, I will be painting the posts again now that it's a month later to truly make sure that they are sealed up before winter. I was very happy with the first time hiring Handyman Joe's that we went ahead and hired them again to work in our Main Bathroom to replace the tile.

The overall experience was tolerable (who likes people in and out of their house everyday for over 6 weeks) thanks to the companies Project Managers (PMs)(Clint and Zach). My wife and I had many questions and concerns throughout the whole process that they took the time to answer. Some road bumps were experienced; Mark (owner) his PMs promptly handled it. Final outcome is Outstanding.
