Larry was great! I will definitely call him again.He came with his assistant Renly and they were on time. I called him to replace the gasket in my toilet tank and we then realized the problem was with the whole toilet which had never been installed properly because it was the wrong size. The tank was pressed against the wall which created a gap between the toilet tank and the toilet seat. Every time I flushed the toilet water was leaking from the tank every where. Larry came and in an effort to save me money exhausted all his options in just trying to replace the gasket but it didn't work because the problem was with the whole toilet. So we went to home depot together (which took some time) picked out a new toilet. He was very patient. When we got home he installed it in a matter of minutes. Very fast. Larry was a man of his word he charged me the same price he initially stated to me which was about $250-300
Description of Work: Larry replaced my toilet seat and tank, and installed a new one quickly with no problems

It sounded like he was dumping metal things when we were on the phone, so I asked if he could hear me, and he could. He said he'd be moving, and that I would call him back in a week. On the day that we were supposed to connect, I called him three times and left him three messages. He never responded to me.
Description of Work: I was looking for a handyman, so I called Larry Brown.

I called Mr. Brown and he told me he was in the middle of a job and asked that I call back. I did. I described my needs and we arranged for him to do the work (install curtain rods, blinds and bathroom shelves). He asked me to call him back on the next Wednesday, as he would then have a better idea of his schedule. I called on Wednesday and we tentatively scheduled for the next Saturday. He instructed me to call him again on Friday evening to confirm. I did that. I also called him on Thursday to ask questions about insurance, as directed by my building's management company. He didn't return the call. I did get a chance to ask the questions when I called again on Friday. We confirmed that he would be doing the work on Saturday. He called me on Saturday to explain that he would not be able to do the job on that day, but would have to reschedule for the following Monday at 4pm. Mr. Brown did not show up. I called him at about 5pm. He didn't answer the phone, nor did he return the call...ever.
Description of Work: Installation of two traverse rods, blinds and bathroom shelves. Services were not provided. Mr. Brown did not show up at all.

I called Mr. Brown about the problem in the late afternoon, and he arranged to come to my place the very next day. He arrived a little ahead of the scheduled time, assessed the problem, gave me the estimate and repaired the broken shelve, which had dislodged from the wall. Additionally, he removed an ancient air conditioning unit from the window (which didn't cost me anything extra, as it fell within the hour time period of his charge). He did a superb, efficient job. He was quick, personable (extremely personable), professional and gave me helpful suggestions about how to approach other repair issues in my apartment. I wouldn't hestistate to call Mr. Brown again for service, and I'm relieved to now have access to a dependable, competent and reasonably-priced handyman in my area.

My fiance dropped her engagement ring in the bathroom sink. while the task was fairly simple we wanted a professional to recover it as we had recently moved in and did not want to take any chances with the sink plumbing. being a Saturday it was very tough to find any plumber/handyman to help us out and most asked us to wait till monday. Larry took our call and even took a taxi to get to our apartment asap. He was friendly and most courteous and even helped us understand the plumbing better. Well it was an emergency and we are glad that we found Larry!
Description of Work: Released sink trap and recovered ring

Problem turned out to be more serious than we expected and he had to remove the toilet. He Nonetheless repaired it quickly and completely and for just a small amount more than we originally agreed.
