We were very happy with everything, starting with the phone conversation with the person who makes the appointments. She explained everything in detail. The work was done to our satisfaction and the technician was very professional. We would definitely call Mr. Handyman for future work.

Bill was very functional! He was neat, clean, pleasant. He came in a head of time, finished before the estimated time! There were a couple jobs that he said he didn't feel comfortable doing, so they'll be back in a couple days with some one else that can price the jobs. They originally wouldn?t honor the Angie?s List, and I was told by Mr. Fay that they put both coupons on this next bill. I was told that because this work was a continuation of previous work they would waive the $39 fee. They didn?t take care of the bill while they were at the house and I had to sign a paper saying that they would take care of it at the office. I want $89 refund to honor the 2 coupons and the $39 fee.
Description of Work: He did 10 little jobs; fixed doors, planed down a door to be hinged, fixed front door, fixed faucet dripping, etc.

They called to set an appointment for an estimate. They arrived on time and spent time evaluating job and talking with us. We were given a written estimate and told we'd get a call the next day to set time for workman to arrive. The time was set, the workman arrived punctually, and the work was done professionally and to our complete satisfaction. We'd call them again without hesitation.

When I called I got a sales pitch. I let them know what I wanted. They said they do not give estimates, they only come out and do the job. She put me on hold and then said someone would come out the same day to take a look. I waited and waited when finally about 4:30 I received a voiemail saying he wasn't in the area and they would get back to me by the end of the week. I never heard from them.

After trying for weeks to have another handyman come over but never returned calls, I called Mr. Handyman. They were very detailed, gave me all the information up front on pricing and how the appointment would be handled. They even called the day before to confirm the appointment. They were on time, very efficient and only charged for the time they were there. I will definitely call them again for little things around the house because they were so professional, reliable, and did a great job.
Description of Work: Fixed part of a gutter and a piece of siding on the house.

Dan the service technician for Mr Handyman arrived on right date/time and offered a cordial greeting. Kathy, Office Admin. had left me a confirm/reminder message on previous business day which is always nice to get. Dan looked over job first, set up his sawhorse and tools and got right to work. I have used the services of Mr. Handyman before and do have confidence in their skills and ability to do the job correctly. Mr Handyman does not give estimates, paid or not. They don't tell you either what job materials to get. There is currently a two hour minimum fee so you really have to know what you need to be done and the correct materials on hand to do the job. My understanding is they will go and buy the materials for you but that costs extra. It forces the customer to research the project in order to buy right supplies before hand. That is the part that stresses me the most. Live and learn, I guess. You do get what you pay for, your projects promptly and professionally completed.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced old rusting wrought iron handrail, balusters and newel post with traditional wood style materials in a closed staircase. Fitted back of each existing stair tread with quarter round toe molding. Also installed new chair rail in area adjacent to staircase. Hung one large framed print on wall. Cleaned up all sawdust and wood debris at completion of the four hour job assignment. These Mr Handyman guys are really handy, and they don't leave you hanging.

When I called, the service asked all the right questions and took great notes. When Jim arrived he had a print out of virtually everything I had said, so he was very prepared. Jim was on time (actually 10 minutes early), laid down drop cloths, and did some of the more grimy work outside to limit the dirt in my house. Jim also spent the time to really diagnose my problems rather than jumping to the conclusion that I needed new equipment. His diligence and innovative solutions kept me from buying new parts of about $200.
Description of Work: Diagnosed a problem with a bathroom fan. Removed the fan motor, cleaned and lubed it and reinstalled it. Diagnosed a problem with a doorbell. Switched the terminals the doorbell was using so that I could use the same doorbell rather than buying a new chime set.

IN LOOKING THROUGH OUR RECORDS, WE DID COMPLETE AN ESTIMATE FOR THIS CUSTOMER. WE DID LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR THE CUSTOMER TO CALL OUT OFFICE, BUT NEVER HEARD BACK FROM THEM. WE REGRET THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SPEAK DIRECTLY WITH THE CUSTOMER BECAUSE IT'S NOT OUR PRACTICE TO JUST LEAVE A $ ESTIMATE ON SOMEONE'S ANSWERING MACHINE.

MY APOLOGIES TO THE CUSTOMER. WE WERE VERY BUSY THROUGHOUT THE MONTH ON JUNE. I HAD A BACKLOG OF ESTIMATES TO COMPLETE AND WHILE I HATE TO ADMIT IT, THE NOTES FOR THIS CUSTOMER ESTIMATE GOT MISPLACED, BY THE TIME I CAUGHT UP, WE HAD ALREADY PASSED THE CUSTOMER'S DEADLINE AND SO WE WERE UNABLE TO GET HIS ESTIMATE TO HIM IN A TIMELY MANNER.
