They returned my initial contact, a week later. They requested photos of all the areas that needed repair, which I promptly sent. Three times because they didn't like the photos sent as an email, then they didn't like the photos sent as an attachment, etc. Never responded after the third round. So I called them. Twice. Said they were "busy" and would call back. Never did. They are too unprofessional to be recommended on Angie's List.

Well it didn't go as this company will not quote, they only work by per hour basis. I don't work on hour basis, I like the service person to look at the job and quote me a price. Due to disagreeable work principles the project was canceled.

Response from Mr. Handyman of Princeton and Robbinsville
I am sorry that our business model is not for you. Mr. Handyman is a time and materials model because we believe that is the fairest way to bill both for the customer and the contractor. (For example if we were to give a fixed price based on a job that we expect to take 4 hours and the job only takes 3 hours we feel it would be unfair to bill a customer the fixed amount and vice versa.) We understand if you prefer a different model. Thank you.

I contacted Mr Handymen of Princeton on July 13 by phone. I explained the work. She sent me an email and asked to send some pictures with work explanation based on which they will provide the quotation. I sent the pictures with explanation on July 13th by email. On July 17th, I sent another email asking update on the status of the quote. I also called in the meantime asking for status. I never received any response. This business may have received super service award from Angies List, but did not bother to respond to me. I understand they may not be interested in the work, but could let me know that instead of no response. This was grossly unprofessional. This also reflects on the credibility of Angie's list rating and recommendation system. If you get this type of behavior from a so-called 'A' rated service provider, what can you expect from others. Conclusion: Angie's list rating and list of vendors cannot be trusted. Be careful.
Description of Work: I needed some work on sump pump, creating hatch on deck, cleaning and covering window wells (basement), etc.

Response from Mr. Handyman of Princeton and Robbinsville
Thank you for discussing this with us by phone. We apologize that our office did not respond. We (and many others in our industry), have been trying to do our best through some truly unusual circumstances. Our business has seasonal variations with spring and summer our busiest time of year. This year due to COVID restrictions in March-May more inquiries came in June and July than normal and we were also a bit shorthanded post shutdowns. This made it difficult to meet our usual standards in response and unfortunately some things fell through the cracks. We have added another person in the office. That is no excuse for not responding but please know that we have multiple people answering the phone, a live answer call center to back us up at off hours, and we are available by text and by email. As we discussed perhaps you could have reached out to us before submitting a negative review online (which hurts our business even though we did not perform any work for you). As a small local business whose customer satisfaction ranks in the top ten of over 150 Mr. Handyman offices nationally we care very much about our customers. We review every bit of customer feedback as a team and we do our best to learn and improve when we drop the ball. We will try to do better.

painting, drywall, vent reattaching
Description of Work: We have hired Mr Handyman for reattaching a two story vent and repainting/dry walling our dining room. They can be a little pricy but you can’t beat them for availability and quality. They are a better value on single day/smaller projects due to their hourly rate structure. Scheduling is always quick and flexible. I like that they send the name and photo of the handyman. I don’t mind paying a little more for the good service and trustworthiness. For the vent, no one else wanted to do the job because of the height so I was happy to pay to get it fixed. Quick, Easy, done. They also did a good job with the quality on our painting/drywall project. if insurance hadn’t been paying for it I would not have been able to use them. It was a multiple day job, costing over $1000 which I would consider high for just one room, but with insurance paying I was happy to use a local company I trust.
