Nutter Handyman Services

An underground drainage system was installed in the backyard to help manage flooding from heavy rainfall. Installed three parallel lines of 4” perforated PVC pipe embedded in pea gravel and landscaped fabric along the back and side of the lawn. The lines were transitioned to a solid 4” PVC pipe to the street. The trenches were backfilled and grass planted. The engineering to get the correct slope was carefully performed. The drainage system successfully prevented any flooding from subsequent heavy rains (3”). I am very pleased with the results.

Handyman was not able to identify door manufacturer and thus locate correct replacement door sweep to order. He was very punctual, friendly, and helpful with repairing small holes in my entry wall. He left the work site in pristine condition.

First of all, Nutter Handyman does NOT give free estimates, contradictory to what it states in Angie's List. So beware. They charged us $90 to come out and give us an estimate on the work we wanted done, but said it would be reimbursed if we decided to use them. Initially, I was impressed with Nutter. They were courteous on the phone and they notified me of the car the worker would be driving, and what he would be wearing. I thought that was great from a safety standpoint. My husband was home for the estimate. He said the gentleman who came out seemed very knowledgeable, and was nice, punctual, etc. My husband explained to him that we needed an itemized quote so that we could return it to our insurance company to be reimbursed for the work. Our insurance company required this information from us, since they had already paid us a predetermined amount, but because we couldn't get the work done for the amount we were given, they said an itemized quote would allow us to be reimbursed for the difference. The gentleman said he would do this for us. After looking at what we needed done, he said it would not be possible to do the work for $1800 (what our insurance paid), but that we would be under $5000. That sounded reasonable to us, and since he said he would itemize the quote we weren't worried about it. They came on a Thursday. We waited over the weekend to hear back from them with the quote, and didn't hear anything back. We called mid-week the next week, to check the progress of the quote, and were told that the guy would email us when it was finished. We called again the following Monday, and they said we would receive the quote within the next day or two. In all, it took about a week and a half to get the quote back. When we got the quote, it was not itemized. What's worse, was they wanted $11,000 to do what the guy told us could be done for under $5000 (we needed the master bath retiled, a toilet put in, a few sheets of drywall installed in the kitchen, and cabinets rehung). They're quotes are not easy to read either, and there was no total on the page. Rather, there was a total for each section of the quote, and they had our bathroom listed on there twice. I emailed them and asked them if they could please itemize the quote, and the woman who responded, said she checked with the owner and the man who came out for the estimate and they do not itemize quotes. I told them thanks and that we would be going with someone else. I had been excited at the prospect of having found someone we could trust to do the work, only to be disappointed and angry when they didn't do what they said they would do. Lowes is doing our bathroom, and charged us the same amount for TWO bathrooms that Nutter wanted for one. I anticipate being able to get our kitchen done for another $2000 at most.

It went very well. Chuck and another handyman came out to install a new water heater the day after I called. Their cost was $200 cheaper than the other estimate we had gotten.

Never had any work done by this company

Pete power washed front porch, cut out deteriorated mortar joints, replaced broken stone, and applied water repellant. He did a great job of matching the color and texture of the mortar joints. He is an easy person work with and very accommodating.

We called Nutter Handyman Services to request an electrician come to our home to replace our bathroom light fixtures. The owner, Chuck Nutter, explained their "priority scheduling", and scheduled one of his staff to complete the work. We were more than happy to pay extra to get the light fixtures switched in a hurry before our party. Nutter Handyman's employee was friendly & professional. We highly recommend Nutter Handyman Services to our neighbors, friends & Angie's list members because they are professionals you can trust to be in your home & complete the job in a timely fashion. We hope to use Nutter Handyman Services again in the future.

the top and the bottom of the gate were trimmed, a "stopper" put in the ground to secure the gate when closed - It is, in fact a new gate and looks terrific.,

The job was superb!! Mac was punctual, professional and VERY Friendly. He was always considerate of our needs and cleaned up after himself as well. This was a very positive experience and I would very definitely call Nutter again for any work that I needed done.

Impossible to fully describe the aggressive behavior of this guy. We settled on a claim with the insurance company which was generous and carefully spelled out the scope and quality of work. He subsequently took every opportunity to try to undercut the contract and claim. I recommend reading carefully the reviews, whether work was perform or not. BUYER BEWARE!

Eric's work was excellent. The tub/shower is now properly protected for leaks, and the master bedroom shower looks like new.

The repair work was fine. Nutter Handyman has done repairs for me previously and they were excellent. I appreciate that they remove or cover shoes when in the house. The quality is excellent, exceeds expectations. This time he was able to provide service very quickly as I was able to be very flexible and accept short notice.

A trench was dug on the south side of my house and sloped away from the house. It was lined with plastic and filled with gravel. The window well was dug two feet deep under a fresh air vent. The window well was filled with gravel for proper drainage. As with past experience, Nutter Handyman was responsive to my needs and did an excellent job.

Great. Would use them again

The handyman, Dave, was on time and neatly dressed in the company's uniform. He was pleasant. He said he had 12 years of experience in framing and then some experience in remodeling. He looked at the soffit and fascia boards in question and suggested replacing only a section of the soffit and repairing the fascia board ends, which had rotted, one with putty, and the other larger section with a piece of redwood. He didn't think it was worth taking the gutters down to replace the fascia boards completely. He said he would send an estimate later. However, I did not receive one for at least 3 or 4 weeks. I finally called the office and pressed them for an estimate. The woman who answered the phone said that the worker had had a death in the family or something like that. She called me back a few days later and gave me an estimate on the phone of $1800 for the work and followed up with a written estimate. For the amount of work to be done, I thought the price was very expensive.

very well. we will be using them whenever we have a need.

Two different people came out, the electrician and the handyman. The work on the weather proofing probably dragged over a couple days and the electrician was done in about a couple of hours as best I can remember. They were pleasant enough to work with, we were unhappy with the material that was used for the caulking. It had a horrible odor and it took several weeks to air out the sun-room to get rid of it. That and the cost were the two things we were unhappy with. We were not warned about the smell, but airing the room seemed the best and only thing we could do about it. For those reasons I would hesitate to recommend their service. I was perfectly satisfied with the electrician's work, he did an excellent.

Demoed out stucco to reveal all rotten wood. Removed deteriorated band boards and installed new pressure treated band board. Removed bad framing and reframed wall. Covered wall with Tyveck and installed trim and z-bar flashing above windows. Cleared debris from crawl space. Repaired and painted stucco. The work performed was by Matt and Eric was excellent. They kept me informed as to what they were doing and the available alternatives. As with other projects, it is very nice to work with Carol who does the scheduling and makes sure that the project is finished timely. She actually managed to find a period between the rains for Matt to demo the wall and get it secured before the rains started again. The coordination between Matt and Carol was excellent.

It is beautiful...exactly as I pictured it.

would NEVER use a business that worked in this way.

My daughter and son-in-law complained that the hot water in their house was only tepid. I examined the tank and could not see the pilot light. I assumed it was out. I tried to light it without apparent success. Rather than take the apparatus apart myself, I called Nutter. They explained that there was a minimum charge of $90 for someone to come to the house. I don't recall how much time the $90 would cover. Anyway, I agreed to the charge, and the technician arrived as promised. He also could not see the pilot from the outside of the tank, so he took it apart and found that it was lit. He put it back together and all has been well.

He was friendly, courteous, and neat. The charge was a little pricey, but worth it, and in line with their estimate. We've previously had Nutter re-screen a front door, and sharpen garden shears that another place said couldn't be sharpened. Both times the charges were very reasonable and the work was excellent. We are thrilled to have such a great hardware store in the neighborhood. They have never failed to be helpful and knowledgeable.

David did a great job of installing the new front door and storm door. He had to custom fit the door to the existing door jam and repair old lock openings. His carpentry skills were evident by the work results. Cleanup was performed daily.

They have very professional and polite staff. We have used their services for several jobs, big and small. If it is not right they will fix it. Prices are fair for quality work. Scheduling is difficult.

I would think that's the standard of Angie's List. I wouldn't use them unless they explained why they never contacted back.
