Handy Hubby

Quick, easy, painless

They were very, very expensive. I had to buy the supplies. I would never hire them again to do anything. Ii was a waste of my money because the post didn't stay placed. I gave them another chance, but the guy stalked me. He was at my bedroom window knocking on it. He followed me to the gas station and to the grocery store. I had to call the police. They get F for everything.

I found them through an ad. We won't use them ever again. My husband thought it was an awful lot of money for the job he did. He wanted to use the old mounting instead of the new one. He wanted to take shortcuts all over the place. The job turned out right, but my husband had to stay up there with him. When you do a new job, you need the materials that came with the kit. He didn't want to do that because it took more time. He wanted to slap it over the old mounting.

Prompt and high quality work at a reasonable price. Tended to assume minimal design details and lower-cost materials (windows, floors etc.) and needed some prompting to go a bit upscale, but results were fine. Flexible to design tweaks as issues appeared during work. Would recommend, but be sure to have a clear idea of what you want.

The man that came for the estimate was late, appeared disheveled like he just got out of bed, wearing sandals, driving a fancy car. He didn't look like he had ever done any kind of home repairs or remodeling in his life. As I showed him the things that I was interested in having fixed he repeatedly remarked "well that work was done by someone else, we wouldn't be comfortable messing with that". Well of course, the whole house was built by someone else! What a ridiculous thing to say! Then after ignoring everything I was trying to show him he gives me a folder to look through showing photos of kitchen and bathroom remodels that they had done and this isn't even what I was looking to have done! It's like asking for a hamburger and someone saying sure we make those but try our soup. A waster of time. I would never call them again for anything and didn't even request an estimate!

John takes care of all of the necessary permits and formalities and the demo begins. The crews and equipment arrive the porch and slab come down and the digging begins.The only "Fly in the Ointment" was provided my Mother Nature and the rain begins. But this too passed. We did encounter sone buried surprises,such a sub foundation about 3 feet down of unknown origin that was unearthed. Got the inspector involved, got the OK to proceed, poured the foundation. Some note worthy information about the addition. This project involved multi level floor systems, as well as multi roofing systems that were very brilliantly engineered and executed. The building went on without a hitch. I was continuously impressed with the attention to detail the builders demonstrated, as well as, the exceptional quality that was built in. The material use by the builders was not basic construction grade, but better grade material than they could have used. The craftsmanship was superb and the job was finished, as agreed. The job came in on budget as quoted. We did make some mutually beneficial changes to the project which resulted in upgrades for me and Handy Hubby still came in on budget. Overall, I have been delighted with the work Handy Hubby did for us, I would not hesitate to use him again, and would (and have) recommend them to others for their building project. One additional thing, I am retired, I was on site start to finish so I observed every step of the process. It was very educational and enjoyable for me.

Very professional service. Responsible, timely, and shows the home and individual a lot of respect. Would highly recommend to anyone needing anything done around the home.

They did prompt, clean and quality work for us. Their price was very reasonable also. We have used them a few times since then. We will use them again in the future.

Arrived on time on first day. Began demo. Removal was straight forward and no issues. Adjustment of plumbing went fine. Upon installing the tub they had trouble getting it into position. They took a recipricating saw to one of the 2x4 studs in the way and removed some on the side to get the tub down. Installation of the surround also was straightforward. They completed the install in one day. They returned the next day to complete the drywall compound. Issue no. 1) When placing the tub the new tub did not completely fill the space left by the previous tub. There was a One (1) inch gap between the tub and the stone flooring. We had not planned on changing the flooring. They recommended putting mortar compound down to fill the gap. We went along with this but were unhappy that initial measurements did not bring this to light prior to being on the spot. Issue No 2.) The mortar they placed was not smooth and looked bad. It also cracked within a week and looked worse. We received only a $50 credit because of this. We ended up ripping out the stone floor and replacing it because of the disconnect between the flooring and the tub looked so bad it had to be replaced. Issue No 3) The tub and shower were not used until Thanksgiving since it is the guest BR. One of our guest discovered the plumbing was not secured in the wall. If you pulled out on the handle to turn the shower on it would come out about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Issue No 4) I found that the saw used to remove some of the 2x4 to get the tub in had went through the wall into the room next to the BR. It was behind a bookcase and was not found till weeks later. Issue No 3 and 4 I called after Thanksgiving and spoke in regards to having it fixed. They came within the next week. They tightened the plumbing and drywalled the bedroom. They returned later to prime and paint the bedroom. Issue No 5) Using the tub after the plumbing had been tightened the water was running along the inside of the facuet and out the bottom towards the tub surround. They also left a 1/8" gap between the facuet and the wall and filled it in with silicone. (The facuet was not a screw on facuet but was attached using an allen wrench underneath.) It was another week to get this fixed. Took some convincing that it wasn't supposed to do that. Issue No 6) After the holidays we noticed a crack in the tub surround. It was located on one of the shelves in a corner. I called after the first of the year, spoke to the secretary and left a specific message to have the owner call me to discuss next steps on how to address this. I have never heard from them again. We went through the manufacture to get the crack repaired. The inspector stated it was due to installation methods that caused the crack. However, when contacting the manufacture again with the inspector the manufacture decided to pay to have it repaired out of good faith. Otherwise I would still be trying to contact Handy Hubby to pay for the repair. Although the installation went smoothly, due to the issues stated above we will not be hiring Handy Hubby again.

They were very good, neat, meticulous, and reasonable. The quality of the work you get is worth the money spent. The prices were reasonable.

I had used Handy Hubby twice in the past. Once they put on a new roof. Another time, they built me a 2 1/2 car garage. I enjoyed working with them each time, and asked them to make recommendations on the restoration. I had to move out of my house while the work was being done, which I had planned for. The job took two weeks longer than we originally planned, but there were several additions to what we originally planned as well. Handy Hubby got the work done as agreed, and once again, they do very nice work, and I am well satisfied. They completely changed my house, and made it wonderful to live in.

My husband normally would do all this work himself but was unable to at this time due to recent surgery. This was a trial project and we are going to have Handy Hubby do additional work now.

They were not the best because of the price and their overall quality of work. I will not be using them in the future.

The work was done, okay. The owner of Handy Hubby came and gave us an estimate on the work, then he contracted out the service, but he would check-in, I wish I would have known ahead of time that he was not the person actually doing the work. The finished floor in the bathroom was slightly unlevel, he would have ripped it out and fixed it, but we were tired of having contractors in the house. So the owner provided a credit on the bill, with the understanding that if we would have him repair the floor, we pay back the credit. I thought this was fair. The light fixture in the kitchen was replaced and the ceiling repaired, the work was done well, ditto with the door bell replacement.

Handy Hubby's entire crew was prompt, courteous, informative, knowledgeable and above all very industrious. What a pleasure and pleasant surprise to see the ease with which our basement came together with Handy Hubby's expertise! Highly recommended!

It didn't. just got a quote that was too high.

Excellent. Responded quickly to the request for a quote. Explained the scope of the work, materials and time. Done within a week. Great job!

I got an estimate last fall for fixing my gutters, which was good. They wanted to wait until spring because it was late fall, so I agreed. Spring came, I called back. First they said it was too rainy, which it was. The receptionist was so nice every time, but she would say, "I will let(name) know" but then no one would call me back. Then I would call again after waiting a week or several weeks. Same response. I was desperate. I had water coming in my house whenever it would rain hard. This went on for a couple months. Finally, I called them back and said that I would have someone else do it. I found Gary Cross Eavestrough Co. on Angie's list and in two days he and his son did a quick job at a great cost

I began my first call to Handy Hubby on a Monday and the receptionist said they were very busy but she would return my call & speak to me in detail about what I needed. I waited a full day for a return call. On Tuesday I called the gal back & explained to her that I was under a time table, that I had to have the work done by a specific date due to the nature of the special funding I was granted to have the work completed, and that I had a week to get an electrician out to help me. I have had no-show appointments with other electricians going on for three weeks now. Apparently a lot of companies do not like to o small jobs. She assured me they can do any sized job and they would be happy to help. By Thursday I was angry, but I politely called them back, was put on hold for so long I that hung up & called back again. Again the receptionist was very nice, and said the electrician who does the kind of work I need would call me back by the end of the day. I called again Friday, and she said she would check with the particular person who handles in home electrical. Well, I have not yet heard from them and it has been a full week since my first call. I have moved down the list to a new company who will be out within 24 hours.

I was pretty much satisfied with them. The person was prompt. The prices were reasonable. I think although he was clean and didn't leave a big mess; he still left a little bit of mess of his shoe print. The work was well done. He came at the appointed time. The price was comparable.

Great job, I would call HandyHubby again.

As I was very busy with my two jobs, I was not able to be in my house all the time but thanks to all the workers, who communicated to me so well, that job was done perfectly. Once again thank you all and my house looks wonderful.

I got the personal touch from the owner, the office manager, the plumber, electrician, and the tile guy. They did whatever I asked and offered great suggestions. They also were wonderful about my dogs while I was at work! My bathroom is beautiful. A+

I was very pleased with everything they were intending to do with their estimate, all the time he took with me. I felt terrible having to call it off because my husband is doing it, but I would give them a high rating. I would highly recommend them. They were going to do it in four days which I thought was awesome. They are professional and courteous. He was very courteous when he came to give me the estimate. I didn't feel rushed or pressured.

I was very pleased with the service. They were professional, knowledgeable, and explained everything to me as I asked throughout the remodel. The price was right in line with several other bids I got and the quality of work was just as exceptional as the pictures that the salesman showed me of previous work. Thanks.
