Tony did a great job on both projects this summer. The first project involved replacing some tiles and subfloor by the exterior door on the sunporch. The second involved replacing some exterior trim and cedar siding that were rotting, and repainting the repaired areas. His communications were professional and prompt; he arrived as scheduled; and the work was completed within the estimated time frame, even with a few unexpected complications. He was patient with explaining the details on the projects and answering all my questions. The work-sites were cleaned up at the end of each day and the end of each project. Overall, Tony did a great job both times and I would not hesitate to call him again.
Description of Work: 1) flooring and tile replacement on sun porch 2) exterior trim and siding replacement

Went well. Front porch light is great. Bulbs were replaced, but light still not working. He troubleshot the problem, but could not find the solution as it is outside his scope of work. I appreciated him telling me to hire en electrician rather than bumble through on his own - I would much rather get the right person for the job,
Description of Work: Porch Light needed secured, flood lights installed.

Tony was great! He was flexible with our timing and was able to remove the shower doors, patch and prime then paint the first day. He came back the next day to do a second coat for the bathroom and paint our outdoor patio table. I was impressed that he was willing to tackle this job as the other handyman I interviewed was unwilling to paint the patio table (painting metal legs and frame with a metallic paint and paintbrush, not spray paint). His offer was slightly higher than the other handyman, but I felt that the money was well spent for a professional who was willing to tackle all the areas I needed, and I felt that I could trust Tony in my home to get everything done.
Description of Work: I had recently removed the shower doors in our basement bathroom and needed first for someone to unscrew the frame from the shower walls and patch the holes. Then I needed our basement bathroom drywall patched where water had damaged corners, the area above the shower primed for mold resistance and the entire bathroom painted a new color. I also needed our outdoor patio table painted.

I would recommend Tony without reservation and would certainly look for his assistance on any future carpentry related work. Jobs was finished in a timely fashion (two or three days) and the work was immaculate. Tony also cleaned up the site to where you wouldn't have know that project had been done. (No small feat when you're sawing wood outside.) A+
Description of Work: We have a relatively large deck wth a composite wood floor. The base of the deck was in good shape but the railing (approx. 55 lateral feet) was beginning to rot. Tony replaced/rebuilt the railing on the deck including the posts.

Very professional from start to finish. Great result.
I bought all of the required replacement parts, fixtures, etc. before Tony came out. He showed up early one morning and worked until everything was done. I don't think he ever took a break! Everything he did looks good and works well. I am extremely impressed by his work ethic. I'm so glad he did in 6 hours what we couldn't do or had put off doing for so long! It's nice to know I can call on him for future repairs.
Description of Work: I had a whole list of things to be done, including plumbing (replace faucets; add hand held shower), electrical (replace 2 electric switches; replace 2 light fixtures), woodwork (cut and install length of baseboard), replace ceiling fan blades, replace and install new shower/tub grab bars.

It took some time to think about how to rate this provider. He came out to the house in April to take a look at the problem - some squirrels had made a nest in the housing of my roof mounted attic fan. We had gotten rid of the squirrels and the nest, and I wanted him to put fresh screen around the housing and to get the fan working. He gave me an estimate ($200.00) to replace the screen and fan thermometer. He said that his schedule was busy and that it would take some time before he could get to it. I told him that was fine. At the end of May, he emailed me, and we set a time for him to come out. He did what he said that he would do and I paid him. But the fan didn’t work while he was there, and he said to let him know if it didn’t come on when the attic heated up. We were leaving in a few days for a vacation, and I let things go until I returned. I emailed him to find out what it would cost to replace the motor. About a week later, he said he’d replace the motor for $170.00 or the whole assembly for $300.00. In the meantime, I researched attic fan replacement and found out that there are ways to troubleshoot these kinds of problems before going through the expense of replacing parts with a wish and a prayer that they work. What’s more, after removing the motor myself, I found out that it was still under warranty. So I emailed Tony and said, “no thanks.” I’ve since received the parts and repaired the fan myself. My disappointment lies in the faith that I had put in this service provider to come up with the best and least costly solution. When I pay someone to perform a service, I think part of the cost is for expertise. To his credit, Tony showed up when he said he would, and he did what he said he would do.

Response from Ansten Handyman Services
I tend to pride myself on good customer service. So to see this review is considerably disappointing. This customer contacted me to repair the thermometer on his roof mounted attic fan, and replace the screening around the outside vent. I told him I offer free estimates and would set up a time to take a look at the fan. At the time of the estimate, the customer again informed me the thermometer was the issue and needed replaced. I then determined the type of thermometer needed for replacement as well as the screening for the outside vent. I sent an estimate over for the customers review. He accepted the estimate and we set up a time to do the repair. After replacing the thermometer and the screening, the unit did not immediately turn on. This could've been because the temperature in the attic was not high enough to turn on the fan. So I told the customer to let the temperature rise and let me know if he was still having issues. If so, we could talk about other solutions. About a month went by with no word from the customer. I assumed everything was ok. I then get an email that the unit was still not functional. So I looked into two options to remedy the situation. One, replace the motor, or two, replace the entire fan. I then sent him a new estimate for each option. He then responded that he researched the issue himself and realized the motor was under warranty and he would take care of it himself. He also stated he should not have assumed the thermometer was the issue in the first place. I now realize I should not have made that assumption either. I should have done further inspection to find the true issue of the fan. This customer was convinced the thermometer was the issue, so I took his word for it without doing any further inspection. I like to apologize to this customer for not further inspecting the fan to find the true issue.

Tony was great! The best handyman I've ever used. He arrived early and worked fast, efficiently, knowledgeably, and reasonably priced. He figured out the complicated drawer locking system on the credenza in just a few minutes and got the broken drawer to close and lock.
Description of Work: General maintenance such as replace light bulb, clean gutters, fix gate in wooden fence, replace shower rod, and fix credenza sliding drawer.
We are very pleased with the work Tony did. He was very prepared and professional and and his estimate was very reasonable (spoiler alert - he did it for exactly the estimate). When it got closer to the date, Tony had to reschedule twice for a week each time (we understand, it happens). He came to the house that day he rescheduled for and he explained his schedule to us. The communication was clear throughout the project. If anything went a little differently, he consulted with us and explained things well. He worked very hard every day he was here, despite our toddler son asking him lots of questions (which he handled very well as a family man himself). He made significant progress every day and I don't know that I ever saw him take a break. He did the work in the order my wife expected, which was a plus for her. It took a couple weeks, which is about what we expected, and like I said above, his estimate was spot on with what he ended up charging. He made sure that our house was clean and orderly at the end of each day so that there was as little interruption to our daily routine as possible. And he was very pleasant and professional throughout the process, which goes a long way when you have a service provider in your home.
Description of Work: Opened a doorway in an interior wall. Installed main light fixtures in kitchen and living room. Put up door frame and door in an interior doorway. Put up door frame and door in an exterior doorway (to garage). Connected living room light fixture to a new light switch. Put together a wooden step between garage and house.

Tony is very responsive and reliable. He is always very neat and professional. He has done some carpentry, drywall repair, interior painting, installed lights, finished woodwork (stained and polyurethane), laid some vinyl tiles, added a door to our crawlspace, installed a new bead board ceiling on our porch roof and exterior lighting, fixed stuck doors, installed new door hardware etc. etc. His prices are reasonable and he seems to be able to manage anything we ask him to do. But now he is getting too popular and it is hard to book his time. But he is a great guy so we have recommended him to friends and I decided it was time to give him a review here.
Description of Work: We have used Tony (Ansten Handyman Services) for about 3 years. Primarily interior painting, but also various repairs around the house as needed.

He came by to do a free estimate which we appreciated. He showed up on time to perform the services and all were performed well. He was very professional and courteous. Only small complaint was we didn't know materials would be extra from what we were quoted - just make sure to ask about that prior to project completion.

Our kitchen had outdated lighting and needed some added brightness. Tony removed the outdated fixtures, installed 6 canned lights, repaired the popcorn ceiling and cleaned up his work area. Not only is Tony's work done to perfection, his promptness and professional approach when estimating just what is needed to accomplish the task, reassures you that he is the best man for the job. He is also truthful when telling you if the job you want done, is too big for him to accomplish. He doesn't bite off more than he can chew - the task is done on time and your living space is not tied up unnecessary. This is my second experience with Tony. In the past, I've used him to replace a sump pump and gutter cleaning. He did those tasks as well as the aforementioned kitchen job. I feel safe recommending Ansten Handyman Services to family, friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: Installed 6 canned lights in kitchen.
