I couldn't have been happier with the work Bill did for me.
Description of Work: I had a list of things for Bill such as hanging blinds and curtains, moving heavy furniture upstairs, hanging a huge painting and moving a vintage loom. He was accurate, efficient and got things done in record time. I will definitely be using him again and have recommended him to a neighbor.

When the stair treads were removed, Bill noticed that the risers were rotting, so we agreed they should be replaced as part of the job. Bill suggested that they be replaced with white Azek and I thought that was a great idea. Bill and his assistant worked very hard for 7 hours in heat and humidity and I was extremely pleased with the results.
Description of Work: Repair front porch railings and support posts, replace stair treads to porch with Trex.

I called Bill and he came out that very same day with a helper. He did everything I needed within an hour at a very reasonalbe price. I would call him again (and probably will soon) in a heartbeat! Job well done.
Description of Work: I needed some heavy furniture moved (up very steep stairs), blinds hung, drapery rod installed and a huge picture hung. The hubby had surgery and could not help me get ready for guests that are arriving in a week.

Not a good experience. Contacted Bill in Sept., 2015, nine months prior to needing him to turn the water on to open our cottage for summer use in late July, 2016. Asked him to go to our house in Sept. to make sure he could do the job. He went and checked out the water turn on valve and said he had the tools and knowledge necessary to do the job with no problem. I thanked Bill and told him I'd call again the following summer to remind him to turn on the water. As promised, I contacted Bill again in early July, 2016 three weeks prior to needing him to actually do the work so he could schedule the job at his convenience (by the way, the job actually takes less than one hour to accomplish). Asked Bill to call me when he finished job. When I did not hear from him, with only 2 days left prior to needing the water turned on, I called him again. He said he could not get to our house because there was an accident on the highway and he couldn't get to the cottage but would get there the next day (the last day he was given to turn the water on). Not sure why he left the work until the last minute or why he couldn't get to our house because there are several roads leading to our place. On the final day, before we needed the water turned on, at 5 PM, Bill called and said he does not have the tools necessary to turn the water on and that I should call someone else to do the job. I asked him why he told me nine months prior that he had the tools and knowledge to do the job and left everything until the very last minute. He said he thought he could do the work but now realizes he can't. It was literally the last minute and we could not get someone to turn on the water. Bill really let us down and left us high and dry. We needed someone to do the recurring seasonal water turn on and turn off and lots of other regular handyman work. We had hoped Bill would be able to help. He said he could. We were very disappointed and will never call him again and cannot in good conscience recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Turn water on to open cottage for summer use.

Response from Bill's Handyman Service
Hi. My name is William DeMeritt. Yes I did let Mr. [Member Name Removed] down by not turning on his water. Yes it may take an hour by a licensed Plumber or heating specialist. I told him I was not. He insisted that it does not need to be done by one. State of NH requires licensed it unless you are home owner. [Member Name Removed] turns gas bottle off for water heater every year. Against the law in NH. I told him that year prior. He argued with me about it. When I arrived and found that I refused to take on the liability. That is really why the job did not get done. There is only one main road to his cottage, not many. His road once off main road is one [Member Information Removed] in and one [Member Information Removed] out. I have many, many clients and very rarely do not do a great job. [Member Name Removed] waited to last minute also a he was having house inspected to refinance. No one was staying......

Description of Work: Fixed a small plumbing leak and explained to me how I could do it myself in the future. He also replaced a shower head and told me how to do that myself as well. |Looked at some electrical work I want done and said it was beyond his scope and recommended someone I could call. |I was pleased with his work, he returned my calls and was fine to work with. |

Excellent, timely, worked well to complete the job in good order. Will seek his services again.
Description of Work: He visited prior to performing work and recommended an alternate fencing system which was in the end cost saving and more appropriate to our needs. He was very punctual and fair in price for services performed. Job completed to our complete satisfaction.

Everything I have asked him to do turns out wonderfully. Not kidding. For a reasonable price and he is VERY quick to respond to phone calls. He is a super nice person as well. I still have requests that he is currently working on now. Beware, when you start working with him you become addicted to having a handyman around because it seems like he can fix anything! My to do lists just seem to keep on going.....
Description of Work: Added 3 new stairs to deck and removed part of railing per request. Dug trenches along back of entire house and filled with gravel for drainage (removing any misc. foliage in the way - this was alot of work and he did an ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC job on this - it looked BEAUTIFUL when he was done). For 4 cellar windows, he dug trenches around them, put in surrounders and filled in with gravel to prevent cellar flooding. Removed shubs and moved and replanted rosebush. Put cover over cellar window for protection from snow falling off tin roof. He has done additional work for me but this work is for bill amount listed above.
