Provider was very good. My TV was hooked up very well the only thing is that he kept on saying he was a hundred dollars an hour and it gave me the impression he would try to go beyond an hour to get that second hundred even if he only worked 15 minuits.

Response from Ben's Handyman Inc
Thank you for writing in about Ben's Handyman Inc.! We really appreciate any and all feed back from our customers. That is the only way we can improve as a business. I am pleased to hear that you are happy with your service. If needed at any time please do contact us for follow up questions or concerns. We are happy to assist! As for the comment on our prices, we always want to be upfront with our customers so as they are not surprised when the final bill arrives. Sometimes a job will be estimated at a certain price and then certain unforeseen circumstances arise that prolong the repair or work being done. At that point it is only fair to pay our contractors for the extra time and labor they provide to insure that when we leave the premise you, the customer are COMPLETELY satisfied with the finished product. I do believe the contractor was just trying to relay this message so as there was no confusion. On that note, WE WILL NEVER drag on or extend time to a project to receive more compensation!! That is against our business motto and we believe is just plain morally wrong! We value each and everyone of our customers and treat them how we would want to be treated. If you have any other comments or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you again for your feedback! --Stephany

Description of Work: My hot water heater broke and flooded the garage downstairs. I got 3 estimates from different people. His came in the middle price wise, but he was the most responsive to my emails. Plus, my insurance company approved his estimate as accurate. He had to rip out sheet rock in three walls, & ceiling, patch and repaint entire garage. | |He did take his time, but it was done very professionally and he was clear about the time it would take him to finish. I was so happy with his work that I decided to give him two other jobs to fix up my house.

He was going to begin but my mom is sick so it had to be postponed due to my mom's health. He was very professional. He put out a contract by the way and came to see her. I was there and went over everything. I had no problem with him. He listened to what my mom wants to say. he was very patient with my mom. He was very good in that sense.

I called him to get an estimate for installation of attic stairs in my house and he told me he charges $100.00 for an estimate. That's the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. If I agreed to pay that and he turned out to be the most expensive estimate I would have been stuck with him. Needless to say I went elsewhere. I would not use this person's services and I would not recommend him to anyone.

I was just looking, and nobody will, it is to be as it due, or was available, or the fact that the job is small or whatever. I left it alone now, as soon as the spring starts and I was done looking. Handyman is very nice if he is handyman person, he was really nice. And he said he did not do that work. No, he did not and just told me that, he does not do that. I would say, he was very good, I was happy with the quote, and that is what I did like. All of that had been in August. He gave me his attention. He did not do that. Right away, he is very good.

Actually, I did call him but his price was ridiculous. He came into my house, he said that he did but I do not know if he did. I had it on the backyard and looked at a new roof on my shed. I never met the guy, he was on the phone. I had to tend by 6 roofs on my shed. I got one for a thousand dollars for the roof. I could buy a new shed for a thousand dollars, so, I did use them. They just remodel but the work seemed high price. I got to go reroof something a way you could put it on and kept over it. They gave me the quote about 2 weeks ago. For that price, people said it online that, I read some reviews that these are overpriced.

Ben responded promptly to my inquiry and came by on a Saturday for an estimate. He showed up more than an hour late but explained he was stuck on another job. I thought his prices were on the high side but it was work I wanted done and so I agreed to his price. It took several weeks before I heard from him again. The work was done professionally and I am pleased with it. He had to order the hinge for the one kitchen cabinet and put a temporary hinge on it in the meantime. He was scheduled to come back on a Saturday to put it in but never showed up. When he came back, he charged my husband an additional $50 for the hinge, which I thought was included in the original estimate. My husband paid it. I would have argued it if I had been here. It's hard getting people to come and do small jobs so although I believe it was pricey, it was still worth it to me to finally have these things fixed.
Description of Work: He installed two new bedroom bi-fold doors, unfinished. Installed two new Levelor blinds and fixed the hinges on two cabinets in the kitchen.

I needed to do a variety of minor repairs, mostly cosmetic in nature to prepare my home for sale. Ben came to do an initial survey and estimate. The estimate was well in excess of what I expected in price. As a result, I needed to consolidate my wish list to only the most critical items. This was due in part to desperation as I only had a limited schedule in which to see this work through. I only had a week to accomplish these tasks. Ben said he would be able to handle all of the items, but we just barely made it with the reduced list. Also, as stated, the final amount that I paid for the reduced list was approximately what I would have expected the full list to cost within say $1,500 or so. Ben claimed that I was his only client that week. Yet each day, he came at different times, usually noon or later. To his credit, he would stay late in the evening. I would have preferred that he show up early and consistently and leave at a reasonable time. Despite the minor issues in scheduling and cost concerns, Ben does very good work. The showers and tubs look new, like they were just installed. The crack in the basement is invisible and prevents water seepage. The patch in the drywall is undetectable. To be fair, he fixed the electrical outlet at no charge. Ben is clearly a decent, hard working and capable handyman and a genuinely nice guy. I would certainly use him again, and perhaps as a repeat customer, maybe he would extend some greater discounts.
Description of Work: - Repaired Crack in Basement Wall and waterproofed basement walls. - Re-caulked and re-grouted showers and bath tubs. - Patched drywall in kitchen ceiling. - Repainted kitchen ceiling. - Replaced broken electrical outlet.

Ben is a pleasure to work with. He answered my call immediately, arranged an estimate the next day, emailed me the estimate promptly and started work on time. In fact, on more than one day he stayed as late as 9 PM in order to finish the work. He went to Home Depot and Lowe's to buy several different light bulbs and other materials with his own money, returned what wasn't needed, and cheerfully and patiently put up with my indecision. He replaced light bulbs in 2 large chandeliers with many, many crystals that had to be removed, washed, and replaced, which he did while standing on a ledge that required steady hands and feet. I will not hesitate to call him again. In fact, I postponed one project temporarily but will call him when I'm ready to proceed. He ordered a hinge for an unusual cabinet and will return to install it when he receives it. He also honored his Angie's List 10% off coupon.
Description of Work: General handyman activities - replaced toilet seat, fixed cabinet hinges, fixed doorknob, replaced many light bulbs, repaired porch door, installed new lock on bathroom door that never had a lock before.

They were responcive and timely in getting back to me. The price was high for the work I needed done, "painting of three ceilings about 350 SQF total" was willing to lower price when I aksed but when I indicated that the price was still high for my budget and asked for an adjusted price if I had only two ceilings painted instead of three they were unwilling to lower price any further. My impression was that the job was not worth it being so small and thats why we could not come to terms. Very disapointed because after meeting the person who gave the estimate , he seemed friendly and professional and would have been easy to work with.
