About us

I’m Bob The Handyman, I am a graduate from Johnson College with a degree in carpentry and cabinetmaking. I have worked in the home construction field since 1977. Initially, it was a part-time pace while working for UPS. Upon retiring, I began working as a handyman full-time. I know many different applications in home construction; and will be up front with customers if I can't do certain jobs. I always try to do my best, and promise not to cut corners or use cheap materials to get the job completed. I want every homeowner that I work with to be satisfied and happy with the job I complete!

Description of Work: We hired Bob to install/replace a back door in our home. We knew the job would be a challenge due to the non-standard size. Bob did our estimate, measured for the door, ordered our custom door and when it arrived he and another worker came and installed it. Unfortunately, the measurements he took were off and the door did not fit as expected. Being that it was a custom, non-refundable purchase he had to "make it work". This made me very angry at first but he was truly dedicated to making sure it fit properly. In the end it looked good and fits well. I would consider calling him again for other work because his work was good, I just didn't like the route we took to get there.

Description of Work: Bob has done a great deal of work at my lake cottage. I have been pleased with the results of everything he has done. Best of all, unlike most other workmen that I have dealt with, he comes when he says he is coming and does the work just as |promised. A reliable workman is a rarity so I don't hesitate to recommend him.

Description of Work: We inquired about a price quote for some trim work on our door. He would not give me an estimate for the work because he said he charges by the hour and it just depends on how long it takes. I asked what his hourly rate was and he told me that he couldn't tell me until after the work was done. I also inquired about hardwood flooring installation and he told me that I didn't need hardwood flooring and that he could just install peel and stick tile. That is not what I needed at all and I did not choose to go with him for the work.

Response from Bob The Handyman
Reviewed her job mid August made suggestions about types of flooring. She agreed on vinyl tile instead of ceramic. Never talked about hardwood flooring. Told her my hourly rate and she agreed to this because of other work she wanted done.

Bob was very punctual and was right-on with his estimate. His work was more then i could ask for. I am very happy with the work that Bob had done. He is also quite honest about what he can do or not do. Also will tell you if you do not really need to repair or replace something.

Bob's work is very good. He was able to accomplished all I asked. I am satisfied with his work and plan to use his services in the future. The great thing about Bob the Handyman is his communication. If he cannot do something, he will let you know before the job begins. Often times, he will recommend some professional who is equally good that can do the job. Such was the case with our gutters and counter top. He is worth the phone call, if you have that project you're not exactly sure how to begin. He is honest, neat, and prompt.

I looked up Bob's services for my mother. Her stoops were crumbling. She has had other people fix it in the past; they did a terrible job. Recently she couldn't even get anyone to call her back. Bob returned her phone call immediately. He came up to give her an estimate the next day. He was prompt and courteous. He gave her a great price and performed the initial service very quickly. His work was great. My mom asked him to do another little job. He found paint in her basement to help keep the cost down. He did that job also quickly and well. In fact, he was so nice he even carried her tires up the hill for her and put them in her truck . Bob treated my elderly mother with respect and he performed his job with pride. Excellent!

Despite not being able to engage him at the time he gave me the quotes, my impression was very favorable. He was punctual, professional and explained the basis of his estimates to my satisfaction., and within the parameters of other information i had about the cost of the different projects. As soon as I have budget to to the things that need to be done, I will hire Bob to do the handiwork i need.
Description of Work: I called in Bob the Handyman after finding him on Angie's list in order to get a few projects completed or done from scratch. Unfortunately, other crisis intervened and I could not commission the work at the time i spoke to him.

I called Bob and had him come over and take a look at the job that I wanted done. He gave me his honest opinion as to what would be needed and provided me with the square footage of the job. He also assisted me in picking up some of the materials as I am physically limited in lifting etc. Bob goes above and beyond to make sure that his customer is a happy and satisfied customer.
Description of Work: Bob did an excellent job changing my foundations looks by adding masonry veneer stone work. He was prompt, professional, reliable,and brought to the table many good ideas that that I hadn't thought of. He was reasonable, meticulous and cleaned up extremely well when he was done. Bob has a great visionary mind when working with stone and carpentry and all aspects of home repair and maintenance. I wouldn't be afraid to ask him to tackle any job that I may need done to our home. I consider him the "JACK" of all trades.

I called Bob from my home in New Jersey to ask him to handle some small repairs at my mother's house. He promptly returned my phone call. All arrangements were made without my ever meeting Bob in person, yet I felt confident that he would do a good job, and I was not disappointed. He was able to do the work within one week, and within a couple of days after I notified him of the small leak remaining, he was out to take care of that as well. I definitely will call him again if the need arises.
Description of Work: Bob cleaned and reglued loose tiling around the bathtub that was causing water to leak into the basement. He then recaulked most of the surrounding bathtub seams. He also repaired two pipes in the basement that were leaking at the joints; he replaced the necessary parts and then sealed the pipes. When one of the pipes continued to leak slightly, he promptly returned to take care of the leak.

The job went very well. He always made sure that everything was being done the way my husband wanted it and he checked with my husband before he did anything. So he did not put anything in the wrong place, he was very clear and communicated very well. His price was reasonable. He was neat and tidy, and professional.

It was made easy right from the first phone call to the job completion and I could not ask for anything better. Bob the handyman has the knowledge and credentials to get any job done to perfect standards. I look forward to being a long time client.
Description of Work: I hired Bob to do a couple odd jobs for me that I simply didnt have time to do myself, from installing bi-fold closet doors, cutting an opening and installing pull down attic stairs and my house is a little older and has settled some so I also had him square up some door frames that the doors were tight and did not open properly and would close themselves. I am very happy I kept calling around because Bob gave me the best price out of all the other handymen I had called. He works quickly and I do know somethings about building so I checked out all his work and it was all done perfectly. I thought for sure there would be somewhat of a mess left over after the attic stair install since there was cutting of plaster but after he was done you would never have known he was there because he cleaned up everything so well. Anytime I need anything done He will be the one I call, I now have a goto guy I cant count on.
