I had pigeons on my bedroom awning, so they installed the spikes to take care of the issue. Everything was super!

Michael had come out and gave us an estimate. We already had the wood from floors we had done earlier. When Michael looked at the project, he stated the left over wood would be enough to complete the job. He quoted us $1200 for the project and we offered to pay cash for a $100 discount. His carpeter, Jim, showed up two hours late the day of the job. As far as the quality of the work, it was satisfactory. When Jim got to the second landing, the last part of the project, he stated there was not enough wood to complete. He claimed he could use his wood and try to use carpeting as well. He did not finish that day and would come back on Tuesday 6/1/10. He completed the everything but the second landing on Tuesday. We feel we should receive some money back since they did not complete the full project we hired them to do. I asked them if it was fair to pay a lower price since they did not complete the contract. He was not willing to lower the price to $1000, or $100 off for the incomplete work. He became very upset and would only lower the price to $1040. After speaking with Jim, Michael hung up the phone before explaining the same price to me. I waited on the phone for him to talk to me about it after speaking with Jim, but he did not. I was very upset by this lack of courtesy. I also wanted to use the coupon through Angie's List ($25 off) and they made this seem like a large issue as well. I decided not to push the issue since they were unwilling to work with us on the incomplete job. If he was willing to charge $1000 for the work, I would have been satisfied.
Description of Work: We had contracted to install new flooring on our upstairs hallways, two landings, and 11 steps.

He repaired the door problem and installed the closer in a short time. I had to pay a one hour minimum, so I had him move a nightstand and my bed to make wheelchair access easier.

Everything turned out well. The water damage on the ceiling looked great when they were done, and it blended in perfectly. The price is very good, and they are courteous and prompt. Having the debris removed took a little longer than I would have liked, but they were neat otherwise. I was happy with their work and would use them again.
Description of Work: They repaired a water-damaged ceiling in one of the bedrooms, which required drywall work. They also installed a bathroom vanity, including the lights. He repaired some damaged tile in the kitchen sink area as well, and installed a faucet in the basement laundry tub.

They are fantastic. When I called the company, they said they could do it the next morning because I had to work around a doctor appointment, which was no problem. They were here promptly and were very courteous and friendly. They just took control of everything and got the job done. I loved them, and it looks beautiful.
Description of Work: They put my countertop in. I had to reuse the same sink, and they put in a new faucet.

Good job. No supervision needed. Only they wanted a credit card hold -- probably because I was a first time customer.
Description of Work: My trim facia had been blown off last winter. It need to be replaced. They picked up the old piece as a template and made a new one and installed the next day. Looks good, matches up with the rest of the trim.

I was told that the job was relatively small and would probably only take an hour. They could be out the following afternoon. I had to provide the make and color of our vinyl siding. When I got home the following afternoon nothing was done. I waited until Thursday morning and called to see what happened. When the worker picked up the piece of siding he didn't know until he reached the house that the store gave him the wrong color. He had to go back and get the right color. The office person was very apologetic that no one called to let me know. They came that afternoon and fixed the corner. It looks great.
Description of Work: Fixed corner piece of vinyl siding on the house that was cracked and pulling away.

I was very pleased with their work. They were very professional. They were on time and cleaned up after themselves. i would definitely refer them to other people.
Description of Work: They came out on the 21st of May and removed some paneling around a pipe leading to a defective meter. In my kitchen there was a light fixture and ceiling fan. They removed the globes so i could wash them. I had a lot of bulbs out so the replaced those for me. They also replaced florescent lights in my basement. They set up an appointment to come on the 28th and they called to tell me the gentlemen was running late. he had to come out the next Monday. When he came back that day I had a spotlight over my garage replaced. They also did caulking in my bathroom around the tub. they replaced the shower doors.

Good experience. I'm an out-of-state landlord, so my tenant called Mr. Handyman based on word of mouth. The person who took the call recommended that we obtain a new disposer rather than buy through them, in order to save some money. That worked out well, and the repair work was painless for my tenant.
Description of Work: Removed dead garbage disposer, installed new unit, cleared connecting pipes that were partially clogged.

The owner was fine. The man who came to fix our siding tried to charge us over $200 more than the original quote. I had to tell him what the original quote was and so he called the employee to check if that was correct. It made for an awkward situation. I did pay them a little extra for working hard, but I was still thrown for a loop. Overall, I was pleased with the quality of the work.
Description of Work: Our siding blew off one wintry day. Mr. Handyman

wallpaper removal
  + -1 more
It did not take very long to get the wallpaper off. The employee patched the drywall and let this work day overnight. He returned the next day to prime the surface and paint it. Since he painted the surface shortly after priming it, there was a tendency for the primer and paint to mix and/or for the paint to mix with caulk that he applied between the shower/bath fixture and wall to prevent future moisture penetration. A few weeks later I put an layer of paint on most of all of the surface above the bath/shower.
Description of Work: Wallpaper started to peal back above a bath/shower and there was what probably was some limited mildew. The Mr. Handyman employee stripped the wallpaper about the bath/shower (not the rest of the bathroom) and patched the drywall. He then primed and painted the walls. The paint color was a computer generated match with the wallpaper else where in the bath.

IN MY ESTIMATION, MR. HANDYMAN SHOULD NOT HAVE EVEN CONSIDERED CHARGING MORE THAN $40-50, WHEN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WAS ACCOMPLISHED. THIS WHOLE EXPERIENCE WAS A REAL SHOCK TO ME SINCE MY EXPERIENCE WITH CONTRACTORS RATED A ON ANGIES LIST HAVE, UP UNTIL TODAY, BEEN EXTREMELY PROFICIENT AND WORTHY OF THEIR EXCELLENT "A" RATING. MR. HANDYMAN GETS AN "F"!
Description of Work: This company is a major ripoff and should be used with extra caution. The only thing the service man did right was showing up at my home on schedule. He did absolutely no work and never solved the problem I was having with a non-functioning electrical outlet and open spaces in my basement that I had requested be cemented closed off with cement. I even offered to provide him with the cement powder. He walked around my house indoor and out and then handed me a bill for $152.00. What an extreme ripoff. Before you even consider hiring Mr. Handyman, make sure that they agree not to charge you especially such ridiculous fees for doing absolutely nothing!

This company was great and I will use them again. They came out in the exact time frame I needed. The worker was very professional, and when I called they gave me some suggestions to help me save money. The final service ended up being less expensive than the quoted price on the phone.
