Came out and looked at our utility room and our small bathroom. We didn’t hear from him for two weeks. Finally, I called for the proposal. I feel he should have called us sooner, also he wanted to charge us $2,000.00 for the work. Which i feel was way over priced for the work.
Description of Work: We had him come out for an estimate for some work we needed to have done on our utility room and small bathroom.

Response from Mr. Handyman of Cleveland's Northwest Suburbs
We had offered our apologies for the delay in getting back to them with a completed estimate. Their initial call came during a busy period of the spring and we like to be precise and accurate with our estimates. However, we did spend approximately 45 minutes speaking with them at their house making sure we understood exactly what they were looking to do in their downstair half bath & utlity room. The scope of work as specified by the customer including stripping wallpaper in the bathroom, replacing the flooring in both the bath & adjacent utility room and painting the walls and ceiling in booth rooms as well. Frankly, our services don't appeal to everyone the same way. Mr. Handyman delivers high quality services at rates that we describe up front to our customers. We stand behind our work with a one year gaurantee. If they were surprised by the price, it may have been because according to our conversations it had been 10 or 15 years since they had work of that significance performed at their home.

I had some issues with the work that they did but it got resolved. They completed 90% of how the work should have been completed. I spent a few bucks on them to complete it. It is complete now but there were some hazels with the guy who was running it. Now, everything is complete. They customized some stuff in the kitchen for me but I have an issue with the final work that they did. I spent a week and a half with them. I gave them a shot because their overall pricing was good. I needed them to fix something that they had to put together but I ended up having to make them do some work after I paid them. Now, they have got the money so I am probably not going to use them again.
Description of Work: Mr. Handyman remodeled and installed all the appliances in my kitchen.

I have a strong recollection not of what he looked like, but of what he worked like. I would not call him again. I had him install a wall shelf--which I asked him to attach to the wall. He had to do it twice because the first time it was not level . He had a helper with him who did nothing but hand him tools. He charged, what I would say was a considerable amount. Other than charging too much, he was fine.

The appointment manager returned my call promptly, unlike other electircians that I had called. He asked that I send him a picture of the fixture and sent someone out. The actual serviceman found that he needed to go buy a new fixture, but he did so and replaced it. He was professional and courteous. Unfortunately, due to the unplanned shopping trip, he asked that we reschedule having the garage grounded, which had originally ben included in our request. Otherwise we were quite pleased and would use this service again.
Description of Work: HE REPLACED A LIGHTING FIXTURE IN A CEILING WHICH WAS NEVER INSTALLED PROPERLY AND WAS NO LONGER WORKING.

He sent a technician out and he did fine. I tried to call the owner to negotiate the estimate, but he refused to return my calls. He tried to bill me $830 for 3 1/2 hours of work in total.
Description of Work: They re-grouted part of the bathroom tiles, primarily. They replaced part of the mirror that had fallen out of our medicine cabinet. Also, they glued the soap dish back to the wall.

Response from Mr. Handyman of Cleveland's Northwest Suburbs
The member accepted our estimate for work (total labor & materials) of $830. In this rare instance, we actually completed the work in less total time than what we had projected. The customer thought the price was unfair and indicated she would happily have paid more if the job had taken longer than we estimated, which would make her a very rare customer indeed.

It went very well after Jim G came, but he was not the person who came and gave me the estimate. Apparently Mr. Fri wanted off today. I was happy that Jim G got all the work done.
Description of Work: I used MR. HANDYMAN to clean the gutters in garage and replaced sections of gutter in garage. They cleaned debris from root of a garage plus roof of added room. They replaced downspout in house, filled holes made by woodpeckers on house, in attic of house and replaced sections of batting.

I recommended him and he did a considerable amount of work for me. There was a leak and he did some tile work and repaired the ceiling. The leak alternatively was supposed to be fixed by the plumber but which wouldn’t. He was pretty damn good. He came and adjusted our schedule. The man he sent was very nice. They did the work and the work is nice. I thought that the guys who came were a bit slow as they were paid on hourly basis and I thought that they could have done faster. They were pleasant and did the work. I thought that they took more time but it was okay. Basically they were good. They did the job and got it done. It took two times to diagnose the leak eventually.
Description of Work: I used Mr Handyman of Cleveland’s Northwest Suburbs for handymen services about six months ago.

It is not easy to get a provider to do a relatively small job this time of year, with constant rain periods requiring schedule adjustment. Previous experience with another firm was a total waste of time, as they just didn't show up. Michael responded with in a few days and had someone up on the roof for a quote quickly. Missed one appointment, due to rain, but came two days later.A huge problem off my plate as I just had surgery.
Description of Work: applied roof seal to area that was leaking during hard rains. Also re cauiked flashing on chimney.

I called on Oct. 7th and Mr. Fay sent someone out the same day to check things out. He called back later in the day to say that someone would be out to the house on Monday morning. The repairman was very personable, concerned and thorough. I would absolutely use this company again. I do not think that the price is out of line, and it is worth it to me to get these nagging little things done. In fact, the railing on my stairway just broke and Ill probably be calling them again to replace it, if they can!
Description of Work: replaced 3 electrical outlets, one with a grounded 3-prong for electronic equipment. Replaced 2 light switches. Repaired vinyl siding on front of the house. Removed old light fixture in the kitchen and installed a new one. Removed old carpet runner from first to second floor and cleaned up most of the foam underside, nails, staples, etc. Workman was finished in the time estimated to complete the job. Price came in slightly under the estimate.

The work was performed in not the best of conditions. The laundry area was crowded and not a lot of room to work. The exhaust vent went into the attic and not easily accessible. Both problems were solved to my satisfaction.
Description of Work: Clothes dryer wasn't drying and dryer vent possibly clogged. Hot water not working. Mr. Handyman responded quickly, did an evaluation of the dryer and vent, found that the dryer DID work on another setting. He traced the dryer exhaust vent and found a kink, which was straightened, improving vent flow. The water heater had tripped due to a surge and he pushed the reset button to get the hot water working again.

I also bought a double lock set so he could replace the locks on the front and back doors. He replaced the back door lock but did not touch the front door lock. When I tried to use the new key on the front door, I had to replace the front door lock myself.
Description of Work: They did a whole list of small things around the house. Most was done satisfactorily. We called them to grease the garage door and it may have been done but it was so worn that it had to be replaced a month later. It was squealing within a few days after they left. He should have informed us of that and we would not have wasted the money to have it lubricated.

I had water in my basement and was not sure why. I called and they came out immediately (within an hour) and determined that my sump pump had stopped working. This was a Thursday. They helped me clean up the water and arranged to provide me with a quote for the pump. The next day there was more water so I called them again and they were right back. One of the gentlemen even offerred to bring me his personal dehumidifier to help dry the space. Over the weekend they called to make sure I was not having any more problems. On Monday they replaced the sump pump nd the back-up pump. While they were there, they also replaced my doorbell and a couple of very high light bulbs. The best part of the service was that it was clear they cared about the service they provided. I was not just another customer on the list - they went out of their way to make sure I was satisfied. This was not the first time I have used this company and I would do so again without hesitation.
Description of Work: Replace sump pump and back-up emmergency pump. Replaced doorbell and ringer.
