MB Handyman

James was friendly and appeared confident and gave a reasonable quote for the price of the work. Unfortunately after I gave him half the money in advance ($800) things went downhill. He showed up with a teenage apprentice and did a half of a day’s work...see picture. He then went on vacation with his wife. When he returned he said my job wasn't a priority and he would get back to me. My wife hadn't decided what she wanted for the doorway but he still didn't finish the portion he had started. I waited several weeks and felt like he wasn't going to get back to me so I hired another handyman who had quoted a higher price. He said the work that James had done was shoddy and he took a picture of it. He had to take James' work down and redo it and then took two days to finish the job. James got back to me eventually and I told him the job was completed. He had done approximately 1/6 of the work and I asked for some of the money back. He said he would think about it. I figured it was lost money. He got back to me and said he would return $200. I was surprised to even hear back from him so I was pleased I would be getting some money back. Two weeks went by and I hadn't heard from him so I messaged him regarding the $200. He replied that he hadn't forgotten but that he was busy. This was all back in July and August. I called him in October and he said he would bring me $100 dollars on Monday, October 28. He was a no-show. It is now December. My advice is do not pay for service until the work is completed.

Very reliable and easy to work with.
