It was perfect. Robert is wonderful and an artist with drywall. He did a fantastic job and my wall is like brand new. You cannot see any evidence of the prior damage/holes. He was quick and efficient and cleaned up completely when he was finished. He also changed an outdoor lightbulb for me in the rain (required getting on a ladder) and helped me assess how to fix some kitchen cabinets that have been giving me a hard time. He is very nice and does great work. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again.

I have a licensed early childcare center for 210 children. I was required to anchor certain furniture for the safety of the children. He did a phenomenal job. I wanted it done in a way that would not create a tripping hazard or look noticeable. He made it look professional and we could not see where he had placed the anchor. He was professional, timely and very neat!!! We will use him for all of our handyman jobs going forward. Very please with the quality of the work preformed, the timeliness and the cost.

Angie's list says FREE estimates. I talked to them, and sent pictures of my house exterior as requested. Then they said it was $162 charge to come see what was needed to be done and give me an estimate. Angie's list says FREE estimates. This is misleading.

Based on our ten years of experience, we give free estimates over the phone with our experts reviewing your supplied photos, information and detailed discussion with you. If we come out to your house in the busy season, there is a charge for the Technician's time. Your feedback is important to us and we would not want to mislead you or any of our customers. We have taken the step to remove the free estimate acknowledgement from the general information section on Angie's List.

Ron and his team were fantastic. The work was top quality and we were thrilled with it. They were so professional and made the whole experience as easy as possible. Our mother has Alzheimer’s and it was her house - sometimes working with her is difficult but Ron and his team made everything go smoothly and made everyone happy. We highly recommend them.

It never happened because A) they are too busy to do anything, B) they don't give estimates or scope jobs ahead of time, C) they apparently do work without knowing what is required for materials ahead of time, which is obviously impossible.

Mr. [Member Name Removed] - We are very proud to earn Angie's List Super Service award for the past 7 years due to the quality of our work and our customer service. The summer time is our busiest season. When we are fully booked, we are unavailable to go out and give estimates. We use our experience over the 10 years in the business to give estimates over the phone. This did not meet with your expectations and we are disappointed in that.

didn't like that they came for an estimate and then when the contractor came he didn't know what needed to been done. the estimate was off . was given a range of 450.-750.00 the contractor had to remeasure all of the things i wanted done and then had to go purchase the materials which i was paying by the hour, i felt like the initial estimate should have given him the required information so that he could show up at the job site with the materials.

For the most part, the technician did a good job and was very punctual. However, he did not paint between the deck boards and I will have to do that myself. In addition, I did not receive a receipt for the repair materials or for his labor.

It took just over two days. The handyman (Dean) was lovely - a total professional. He was super tidy and thoughtful. Was very considerate of my house and the project he was undertaking. 2 days and 2 hours later I had a Pinterest worthy mantle. My front room is completely changed. If I could do this again I totally would. This team is amazing and has totally transformed my front room.
Description of Work: I had the ugliest mantle in the township of Westfield and I wanted something presentable. As an avid member of Pinterest, I had high expectations of what was possible but as we all know, those can sometimes be a bit unrealistic. I emailed the team at Mr. Handyman and they responded quickly and professionally. I attached a pic of my sad fireplace and a Pinterest scene. Anne immediately replied and consulted a handy man. He came out and took measurements and promised to come back with a quote.

First day - technician cleaned the vent out - he was leaving - until I checked and realized that the vent was leaking - had a couple of pretty big tears Had to schedule service for the following day as they did not have a the replacement vent in the truck. Ended up paying for an hour of service --- with nothing accomplished. I don't think this technician had experience doing duct work / vents. The job was completed quite nicely the following day by another service man.. However, we had to go through several iterations for getting to the correct price. I think they needed help with math --- which i would not mind. They even had the temerity to charge me for the time to go pickup the flexible dryer hose from home depot. Quite a disappointing experience some a service that seemed to be rated highly on angie's list.

Carlos was very prompt and did the work well, cleaned up after he was done. When I first called it was suggested that I have whatever parts I need on hand so I had a ceiling fixture and switch on hand. I wasn't sure of the window measurements so I thought that they would take measurements and install the window another day. After taking measurements, I was told the window could be purchased at the local Home Depot and that the install could be done that day. The window was more difficult to find and took about one and a half to two hours which I didn't realize was being charged at the half hour labor rate. So the window purchase and install was much more expensive than I thought. This was my fault for not asking more questions but I am writing this in case someone else may have this oversight. Also need to inform them that they are working at a seniors house, don't assume you will get the senior discount. When I realized it had not been applied, I was told I needed to inform the worker it is a senior residence. I was told I would get a credit the next time I used them
