Couldn't be more pleased. I emailed Mr. Handyman after trying three others. Owner (Steve) called to scope out work in early AM the next day (before he left for jury duty.) His phone estimate was fair and accurate. Scheduling was great, with confirmation and good follow up by support staff. Our tech, Craig was early for appt. He was knowledgeable and personable. He coordinated with Steve to get the trim measured, bent and installed in short order. He could have charged me for a whole new role of beige aluminum, but found a piece in his shop that worked great and saved me money. Craig's work was thorough, timely, professional and walked me through every step of the projects. He even found a problem that had gone undetected and fixed it. Thanks Guys! and thanks Angie's List!
Description of Work: Needed a 10' piece of beige trim near the peak of my roof replaced. Floor tile grout in hallway and kitchen needed repair. Faucets need to be tightened. All for sale of home.

Chris is amazing and the responsiveness of that entire office has made them a permanent fixture in my house management budget. I am glad I called and now swear by Mr. Handyman. They are on time, they come with the small random parts you wouldn't know how to buy. If you need things in advance they talk you through it and how to purchase it. Very respectful, clean, and trustworthy.

I spoke to Steve a few weeks ago to set-up my appointment. He was very friendly and set me up with the next available day that worked for both of us. The day before I received a call from Gina to confirm the appointment and confirmed who would be coming. George was my technician and he arrived on time and immediately got to work. He was friendly, personable and very professional. Completed the work in about 90 minutes, which is what I was originally quoted. We have worked with other handymen in the past but this experience by far was the most professional. 100% recommend and will use in the future.

Called the company to inquire about services. Person who answered the phone was knowledgeable and patient. After setting up the appointment, received email confirming appointment. Received a phone call the day before service to confirm. Received a phone call from tech informing me of arrival time. Tech was also courteous, patient and knowledgeable. Work was done in a timely manner and completely to my satisfaction. Tech also made excellent suggestions regarding a water leak that might be occurring. Trash was bagged and left for disposal. Would most certainly do business with this company again. Professionalism such as this much appreciated.

They did good work. They supplied all the materials. They picked up the sodding material and laid it out. They fixed the edging. They brought the white stone. It actually was like a day and a half job.
Description of Work: Where the plumber had to rip up all the grass and shrubbery, they beautified it. What they did was, they put down sod to give it a nice appearance. Along the side of my house, they cleared the area and put down white stone to give it a nice appearance. They put a plastic edging around it to keep it there. They also cleaned my deck in the back and coated it with water proofing.

The best thing about this provide was the promptness about returning calls and scheduling the estimate visit. The worst thing was the estimate price. Based on the reviews I have read on Angie's list, I am confident that this provider has great quality of work. But my main concern is about price, as explained below. When the provider came to our house to provide an estimate, we were given a rough estimate of $2800, but were told to wait for the final estimate. But when the final estimate came, it was for $5000. That's almost 2x increase. We still decided to submit the estimate to our insurance company and they literally laughed us off. This is because the estimate had close to 40 hours of labor, including 10 hours for tear down of the old overhang. The insurance rep said that there is no way tear down of an old overhang should take 10 hours. I was then referred to another company by the insurance, who gave me an estimate of $1800, including labor of 18 hours. While I can understand that this provider might have done work more diligently and hence the additional labor hours, the reason I am writing this review is due to the time for tear down: The other company came yesterday and it took them a total of 3 hours (2 men x 1.5 hours) of labor to complete the tear down of the old overhang. That's a difference of 7 hours! While I enjoyed my interactions with this provider, I cannot believe such a big difference in labor estimate for tear down. Despite my liking for this provider, I would unfortunately not be recommending them to others because of this reason.
Description of Work: Provided an estimate to replace a backyard overhang that was damaged during the winter blizzard.

fencing, handyman service

The experience was excellent from start to finish. I had lost two sections of fence in a windstorm. I found Mr. Handyman through Angie's list. I filled out the online service request Thursday, April7th at night. I received an email that someone would contact me when they opened. Someone contacted me Friday morning and asked me to describe what we needed done and asked for pictures. They put me on the schedule for the next day at 8:00 a.m. The service technician Ed arrived on time and in uniform. I showed him the fallen section of fence and the section where the fence was leaning. He explained what he was going to do and got right to work. After he fixed the section of fence I had him put up the two decorative shutters. He was extremely polite, courteous and best of all neat with his work. I definitely use them again in the future.
Description of Work: Repaired two sections of fence that had fallen over and fixed section of fence that was leaning. The service technician also hung to decorative shutters for us.

When he came out and did the handyman service, he replaced a light fixture and hung a mirror on my staircase. He also changed a smoke detector and spent an hour at the store. He then couldn't provide a receipt for the smoke detector replacement so that made me believe that he just got it out of his car. The product wasn't even in a box. I am thinking that he just took it out of his truck and charged me for that hour of work. The power washing he said would cost 500 at first but the guy who came out spent most of the time out by his car smoking and charging me hourly. The manager had to come out to help resolve the situation and all he did was take 320 off my power washing. I paid what I felt was right for the job.
Description of Work: They power washed my house house for $170 and then did 6 hours of work for $600. Nobody should hire them. I would not recommend.

It is very hard to comment on this job as it was completed a year and a half ago and our invoices from this time are in storage. The idea of our tech spending his time smoking by the truck while charging hourly is certainly something the management, and our large numbers of repeat customers would not tolerate. It is true that we do not provide material receipts to the customers. The techs charge items on account, and your receipt is the invoice. The tech in question is one of our most requested and well liked techs. The owner, Steve, did contact this customer try to make things right as we always do. We were obviously not able to see eye to eye on the resolution as evidenced by this poor review written so much later.

We submitted the form and pictures on the Mr. Handyman website and received a call the following day to set up an appointment. On the day of the appointment Craig called about 45 minutes before he arrived to let us know he was coming. He was professional, personable, and handled our list of tasks easily and efficiently. We were very happy with the service provided by Craig/Mr. Handyman. Everything went smoothly and we will definitely be calling Mr. Handyman again.

I would certainly keep him in my records so I can use him any time I need. It would have taken me many more hours to do this job myself and also it is not easy to stay for 2+ hours in the attic.

I received the review you left and I am so sorry you had a negative experience with your project. I do wish you would have notified us right away, as we have a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all of the work we complete. We know of no other company that goes further above and beyond to make their customers happy and satisfied at the end of the day. We pride ourselves on answering the phone and replying to the emails to deal with any and all concerns, no matter how big or small. We know many contractors have shady reputations, and we try our hardest to be upfront, transparent, and honest. When I saw your comment that the tech charged you $89 for 2 paint roll covers, I had to go and check because yes, that would be crazy. I found on your invoice that he charged $23.27 for the covers and $15 for van stock (which would be booties, tray covers, painting tape, ect). I also noticed that you were charged for 10 hours of labor, which is closer to the 8 hours that was estimated over the phone. George is a contracting professional that could build your home from the basement up. He does not specialize in painting, although this is something we do all the time. Steve reached out to you this morning after reading your review, but you declined to speak to him.

I've used this company 6 times and not only have they done a great job each time, but the repair guys and office staff could not be nicer. They go out of their way to help and work around your schedule. I was originally nervous about using a handyman service, instead of local specialist, but these guys are true professionals and not only do great work, but with expert skills.

We contacted Mr. Handyman based on their excellent reviews on Angie?s List. We are pleased to say that Mr. Handyman more than lived up to those reviews! Our handyman, George, arrived at our home to install a heavy glass, frameless shower door. After introducing himself, the first thing that George did was place a set of coverings on his work-shoes, showing respect for our home. George was also courteous, easy to talk to, knowledgeable, meticulous and did an outstanding job installing our shower door?it was done perfectly. We then asked George about some additional work that needed to be done and he stated that he could do it now if we wanted. We were pleasantly surprised to hear that and just like our shower door, George did an outstanding job. We highly recommend Mr. Handyman (especially George) and without a doubt, we will be using them again.
