Fabulous job, as usual!
"Dear Member, Thank you for taking the time to write a review on my company, it was a real pleasure working with you on all of your projects. I was really pleased with the outcome of the roofing project. I would appreciate any referrals to your family and friends. Please remember that your new roof comes with a 10 year warranty on labor and a lifetime warranty on the Cambridge shingles that were installed. I am looking forward to upcoming projects, Thank you for all of your business....Glenn"
"Dear Member, Thank you for taking the time to write a review on my company. I am sorry that you thought that the price was a bit high. I am in line with other gutter cleaning services. Thank you for your business...Glenn"
I have a 25-year old backyard wooden deck and brick patio that badly needs refurbishing. Glenn was one of five contractors I spoke to and who gave me estimates. He was highly rated on the List here and his price was significantly better than the other contractors'. So, we got down to specifics.
I told him up front that I wanted a contract and that I was concerned about the wood originally used in my backyard--deck-wood and railroad ties pressure-treated with an arsenic formula that is toxic and is no longer allowed in the business. I expected a professionally prepared contract from Glenn. But all he presented to me was his price estimate without any of the details a real contract calls for. I was disappointed at this lack of professionalism. So I presented him with a contract similar to one I had used before on a home remodeling job. I said I was open to any changes he felt were necessary. He made one small suggestion. I agreed. He said the contract was fine.
Then we got into a discussion of how my deck should be cleaned and what kind of wood should be used. I told him I cared very much about how he would wash the deck, replace worn wood, and seal it all. I told him about my research into the old-style arsenic-impregnated wood I had and how bad it is. Glenn didn't appear to be very knowledgeable about it and how to handle it. I began to sense that he wanted to back out. He said he would get back to me.
The next day he sent me an email declining to do the work. I'm looking for a new contractor.
"Dear Member, I am shocked ,that you are making this out as if you explained your desire to have a your 25 year old deck that you had washed with a pressure washer previously with me from our first meeting. You waited until the last day when you were about to give me a deposit. I would have backed off taking your job on, that must be why everyone else was charging 8 k more than me. It is like MOLD Remediation if a contractor does not have the experience, they should not take on the job. As for your contract, I had my Lawyer review it the next morning, you had language in it that, stated that iI am experienced with it, I AM NOT. Its best that you try to find a contractor, that is going to perform the work as you supervise them. When you told me about cleaning a deck with out using a brush and cleaners, I had to leave. I wish you all the best with your project...Glenn"
"Dear Member, Thank You for the terrific review on my company. It was a real pleasure working for you and your Husband, I look forward to working for you guys in the future...Glenn"
Glenn returned the next day. He did some final adjustment to the diverter. We were estatic; it is wonderful to have a shower with the desired water temperature. Before he left, he showed me how to perform periodic draining of the water tank. I didn't know that this was required to maintain a properly functioning water heater.
Glenn looked at the vacumn cleaner, the belt was broken and a piece of metal was stuck in the rollers. He took the bottom off and removed the metal obstruction and replaced the belt. The machine worked was fine. Glenn spared me the time and expense of a trip to the repair shop.
Glenn refused to take any money. We couldn't thank him enough. Glenn always responds to our calls for repairs, etc., in a timely manner. His price is always fair. He never closes out a job without being assured that the customer is satisfied. If he can't perform a type of work, he will explain why and recommend the type of technician needed. Despite the persistent winter, we have already started a list of spring jobs that we will be calling him for.
The Happy Handyman Service is always our First Choice for home repairs/improvements. We have used Glenn's company for over 8 years for substantial renovations, painting, powerwashing, windowwashing, etc. He and his staff have proven to be reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy.
"Dear Member, What can I say? You and [Member name] have been customers of mine for ten years and each and every time that I have done work for you, It has been a pleasure. I received your new list of projects and look forward to getting started on it. Thank you for being patient with the waiting list, I will put some extra love into the upcoming work...lol Glenn"
I had the Happy Handyman (Glenn) do work in my condo about a month earlier, and everything went well. I had him do several different things before my hardwood floors were to be installed. Right before I was to have the floor installed, I realized I had forgotten to have one other thing done, which was have trim installed around the closet opening in the bedroom.
I contacted Glenn and he responded right away, and was able to finish the job quickly and for a good price. I know he is very busy because of the many good reviews he has here on Angie's List, so the fact that he was able to fit me into his schedule was very appreciated.
I'll certainly contact him again for any future jobs.
"Dear Member, Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to write several reviews on my company. I really appreciate your trust in me, letting me work in your home while at work means a lot to me. I was very happy with the outcome of ALL projects that were completed. Glenn"
I am in the process of remodeling the entire main floor of my condo, and I hired the Happy Handyman (Glenn) to do some of the work. I wanted to get this stuff finished before I had my new hardwood floors installed.
Glenn and his helpers installed 2 pre-hung interior doors and necessary trim (one for the bedroom, and one leading to the basement, installed new sheetrock and insulation on one wall where it was removed, and repaired multiple areas of sheetrock on the walls and ceiling where it was either damaged or had paint peeling off.
Glenn did a great job. He was responsive to my emails and calls. Installing the trim around the windows was tricky because the windows were not perfectly level and even with the wood beams. The end result looks great. You would not even know that the walls and ceiling were damaged at all. Everything is nice and smooth.
Glenn is a very nice guy, and he takes the time to explain everything he is doing, and will give you good suggestions if you are not quite sure what you want to do. He made sure I was satisfied with the finished job and offered to fix anything I wasn't happy with. I was happy with everything though.
I will surely contact him again for any future work I need to have done.
"Thank you again for your loyalty to my company. I am looking forward to our next project..Glenn"
"Dear Member, Thank You for the fantastic review on my company, over the years, you and your Husband have become really good friends, Your loyalty to my company means the world to me. I have received your request for additional work and have scheduled you for the near future. You and [Member Name Removed] are customers that are extra special, your friendship means the world to me. Glenn"
"And the Oscar for Best Handyman Goes To ... " Glenn Mudrick, aka The Happy Handyman Service LLC of South Plainfield, N.J. We needed plumbing repairs and upgrades to fix leaks as well as bring our two full baths back to excellent condition. Glenn and his worker spent the day with us - from 9 a.m. to nearly 6 p.m. Everything was done so professionally. The house sparkles and looks brand new. (Our house was built in 1982.) We are not just HAPPY with the service. We are ECSTATIC. We have used the services of The Happy Handyman (Glenn Mudrick) for several years now, and we will keep calling him back for jobs big and small. The Cost: Extremely reasonable - The total, $847.44, includes $272 for parts and materials.
The Results: Priceless.
He arrived promptly, took a look and said this kind of gutter replacement he does no really handle. However, he tried to fix the
existing gutter that was hanging down to see if in fact he could salvage it. No go... He spent about 30 minutes of his time trying to
help me, at no charge. I was very grateful for his honesty, knowledge and sharing with me what was a better course for me to follow.
Not many men would take their time to help someone else for free, but he did. Truly a very nice person. I will surely contact him again if something else should occur and I need a handyman.
"Dear Member, It was a real pleasure meeting you, I was happy to guide you to the right contractor, that is also an Angie's List ''Super Service Award'' winning contractor. I look forward to earning your future business..Glenn Mudrick..owner"
Plainfield, N. J. Glen Mudrich
(Happy Handyman) has been of great service to us, especially since we have
allowed a new Christian school to use our education wing during the week. The presence of this school has
resulted in cramped storage space.
In August and September of 2014, Glen did several important repair
projects at no charge.
In the front of the church, he did work with our Belgian
block. A prior contractor had put
a Belgian block border around the area of our church sign that was very
subpar. Glen took the blocks out,
dressed up the area around the church sign and moved the blocks to a designated
area.
More significantly, Glen repaired many of the Belgian blocks
along the border of our driveway in front of the church that had been loosened
and dislodged by the contractor that took care of our winter snow plowing. The blocks were replaced with exceeding
care and, consequently, are very sturdy and look great.
Finally, because of the sharing of the Christian school with
our church office space, a complete new wall of upper and lower cabinets was
installed. Also, an existing
counter top was cut down and installed as part of the job in order to save
money. The job took most of the
day with a very skilled assistant.
It has greatly added to the functionality of the church/school office.
The Church and School are very appreciative of the work the
Happy Handyman has done.
"Dear Member, Thank you for your business and the generosity that you and the members of your Church give back to our community. Glenn Mudrick..owner"
home she has owned for 40 years.
Her husband died twelve years ago. Bill Jr. is not strong physically, thus has done very
little in the way of home improvement.
Neither Margaret nor Bill, Jr.
see well. This has only
compounded the situation in which there home has not been kept up.
My wife and I made this situation known to Glen Mudrich
(Happy Handyman). When presented
with a list of chores necessary to enhance the quality of living in the home,
Glen was there within a week and spent a full day with his employee getting the
job done. (Margaret was in the
hospital at the time and some of the tasks included making the home ready for
her return.)
Glen began with repairing the siding in which the squirrels
had succeeded in breaking through and chewing a whole 3? by 1? into the insulation
of the home, readying their center of hibernation for the winter. Also, the sill plate for the picture
window was loose. Glen screwed it
in, caulked it and painted the screws white.
The outside issues had been taken care of.
In the
interior, where the rug was loose from the back of the step, Glen nailed it in
place and screwed a piece of wood, painted black, over the torn rug so Margaret
wouldn?t trip. It looks great. The light in the basement bathroom was
repaired. The light in the
upstairs hallway was taken down and a new one (no charge for the light) was
installed. These repairs will make
it easier for Margaret and Bill Jr. to navigate in their home.
Finally, Glen installed a very nice mailbox (no charge for
the mailbox) so Margaret and Bill will not have to walk down flights of steps
into the garage to get their mail.
Glen has done this for no charge and, in turn, Margaret and Bill Jr.,
feel safer in their home and won?t have to worry about the squirrels this
Winter.

"Dear Member, Thank you for the kind words that you posted, on behalf of a member of your Church. I have been blessed throughout my life in business and in health. If I am able to help someone who is having it hard, I always try my best to bless that family. I was told a long time ago, if I sow good seeds, I will reap a good harvest. It really feels good to help a family that is less fortunate. Angie's List has a program called ''Wish Makers'' they reach out to service providers to grant wishes from their members. Thank you for being a loyal customer and a member of Angie's List...Glenn Mudrick...owner"
"Dear Member, Thank You for your loyalty to me and my business. i appreciate you taking the time out of your busy schedule, to share your experiences of working with me with the Members of Angie's List...Glenn"
"Dear Member, Thank you for taking the time to write a review for your fellow Members. Please check your contract to find the name of the business that serviced you. I have no records of coming to your home, it would mean a lot to my fellow contractor to receive your review. If I can ever be of assistance to you and your family, please feel free to contact my company Happy Handyman Service, 908-217-2108...Glenn Mudrick owner"
Walls were painted and tub,toilet, wall and floor tiles, lights, medicine cabinet and ceiling fan were installed. Significant delay in completion resulted because the vanity was shipped not according to specification. Also, when the new vanity came in, it was discovered that the wall cabinet was not satisfactory and changes had to be made by the manufacturer. Also, there was a time lapse due to scheduling of township inspections. The contractor was not on site all day everyday but stopped by or called in regularly . His crew had worked for us before and we were confident in their ability to do the work correctly. They did extremely well in terms of completion time due to the fact that the bathroom is very small and only one person can work in there at a time.
Each day the workman cleaned up and vacuumned the floors before leaving. Although we selected the paint color, we were given the opportunity to approve how the paint looked on the walls before the room was painted. We were consulted regarding placement of fixtures such as grab bars, towel bars and shower bar. Throughout the process, we were kept informed about progress and what would be done the following day. This resulted in a less stressful feeling about the job and the selections that we had made.
There was a hole in the downstairs ceiling were the leak had been. The contractor replaced the sheetrock and spackled the ceiling at no additional cost.
NO EXTRA CHG FOR REPLACING SHEETROCK
"Dear Member, you and your Husband were one of my first customers, I believe that i became a part of your Family that morning., We all talked for a while about and then you made me a delicious breakfast.I ended up staying there for 4 hours. We discussed the plan that you and your Daughter, a (professional interior designer) came up with. I thought that it was a great plan however, as we discussed,In order for a Bath/Kitchen to really look good and last for many years to come, THE PREP WORK IS ESSENTIAL. I need to be thinking six steps ahead, for example, I ask every customer where they intend to have the towel holder -toilet paper holder ..Etc then I install a 2''x12'' board in that area. framed into the studs, this takes me more time however it will never fall off, because i screwed the fixture directly into solid wood (no anchors) How do i make sure that your expensive tiles are not wavy on the wall? i take my time and place shims where needed. You and I have made it a practice to communicate daily. i want you both to know, I appreciate your trust in me, your loyalty over the past ten years and your understanding when my permanently disabled Wife needs me there to care for her every once in a while. I completed 2 1/2 bathrooms for you as well as numerous other projects.i think that I i may need therapy, I am obsessed with quality work....lol Winning the Angie's List SUPER SERVICE AWARD IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ME. Your report has helped me get there. thank you for your continued business, loyalty and all of the referrals you send.....Glenn"

"Dear [member name removed], Thank You for taking the time out of your busy schedule to share your experience about my company with the members of Angie's List.

Not only have I found a knowledgeable and conscientious worker that I will call upon again for work I want done, I have made a new friend.
"Dear (Member name removed), Thank You for the fantastic review on my company and for nominating me for the Angie's List Page of Happiness. I loved the southern hospitality that you gave me, you are such a nice person to be around. I was really happy with the way all of the projects turned out.

Also, thank you for all of the delicious tomatoes, I wish that I can write a review on your gardening. I am looking forward to our next project...Glenn"
"Dear [member name removed], I really do not know what to say except, Thank You ! You and your wife were referred by an Angie's List member and have decided to become members yourself. It was really a challenge to use every inch of space for your master bathroom, we took an average size bedroom and added a walk-in closet and shelving, as well as give you and your Wife all the goodies that was needed. I loved the way we did the floor, using no saddle, we made the hard woods meet the tiles under the doors perfectly. Nancy and your Daughter did a great job picking out all of the high end fixtures. I am happy that I was able to meet your needs, as well as your Wife's. The two and a half bathrooms that I completed for you, turned out just the way that we all expected. The daily communication was what made the difference, discussing the pros and cons of each item is so important in a re-modeling project. It was a real pleasure working with you and your family on the project. I also want to thank you for the kind words about your church, I believe that if a person sows good seeds, they will have a good harvest. It makes me feel good to give back to someone who is less fortunate. Angie's List has a Wish Makers Program on their site, If you know of a needy family, you can send in a request and they will reach out to that particular business for help. I want to thank you for your business and most of all the friendship that we have developed..God Bless you both.. Glenn"

The greatest compliment that you can give me, Is a referral. Thank you for your trust and loyalty to my company, see you soon....Glenn"

As usual, Glenn and his crew met and exceeded expectations. Came as scheduled, behaved with courtesy and professionalism and turned in a good job at a fair price. My wife, difficult to please, was happy with the results.
We have used Happy Handyman at least 10 times during the past 4-5 years. We have never been disappointed. The work has included: drywall and carpentry repairs, interior and exterior painting, tile grouting, concrete repair, siding repair, power-washing, window washing etc. Glenn is honest about what projects he can take on, and which he would rather refer to someone else.
"Dear Member, Thank You for taking the time and spending the money to renew your membership on Angie's List to write a review on my company, that really means a lot to me.
