They were prompt and efficient in doing the work and were very neat while working, and cleaned up well afterwards as well. Before they arrived they gave me some money saving tips which have worked out. I would certainly hire them again!
Description of Work: I hired them to do some small electrical jobs in my home. They have also done several other small jobs around my house over the years.

Bill Woods of Handyman Matters was scheduled to arrive at 1:00 PM but I received a call around 11:30 AM from him and said he was running early and would it be convenient to come over early to which I readily agreed. He pressure washed the aluminum siding on our home which some of it had algae on it. He did a very nice job and flushed our gutters of leaves as well (on the 1st fl.) which was very much appreciated.
Description of Work: The aluminum siding portion of our home needed pressure washing as on some areas there was algae growing.

We had a special for the power wash and had the entire house, back patio and front steps done on two visits, 3 August, 2012 and 13 August 2012. On the second visit they sealed all the gutters and repaired and fixed the soffit on the front porch overhang, as it was leaking. Handyman called and checked to see if the work was done properly. We were waiting for rain to check the leak. Called them back after we found out that the overhang was still leaking and they returned on the 5 September 2012 to fix it. They called to check if the leak was fixed and we were waiting for rain to check the leak. Called them back because there was still a little leak in the overhang. The final visit was 6 November 2012 to fix the overhang. The front porch overhang was a problem for a while and we had someone else try to fix it but they were unsuccessful. Handyman reassured us that they would keep coming back till the problem was taken care of, which they did very quickly and efficiently.
Description of Work: They power washed the siding on the entire house, patio and steps. Sealed all gutters then repaired and fixed soffit on the front porch overhang.

We were literally moving into our new house and realized that there was a problem with the u joint in a pipe running to a utility sink. They were extremely pleasant and professional when I called and came out that afternoon - the gentleman fixed the u joint in no time and asked if there was anything else he could help with since we paid for an hour and that task only took 20 minutes or so. He then proceeded to fix the front door handle and installed a new door knocker. They were terrific and so helpful!
Description of Work: One hour of handyman services including fixing front door handle and fixing u joint.

It was a great experience. Most companies are not interested in small jobs, so where does one go to get the work done? This was our first experience using Angie's List. The recommendations were good so we made the call to Handyman Matters. Heather was very helpful giving information over the phone and set up the appointment for the work to be done. Kurt arrived when scheduled and looked over all to be done. He was also very helpful with suggestions and knowledge of how things should be done. He did the purchasing of any supplies that were needed and he started the work. Each day he cleaned up and removed all waste. He worked continuously the days he was here and was most comfortable to be around. We were very pleased with the finished product and would recommend him and Handyman Matters to anyone.
Description of Work: Drop ceiling in bathroom removed and drywall ceiling installed with new fan with light installed venting out through brick exterior. Wallpaper removed and bathroom painted. Vinyl flooring removed and new flooring installed, with trim.

The job was done in a morning from 8:00 to 11:30 or so. It went without a hitch!
Description of Work: The serviceman came on time and replaced some rotted wood around a replacement window. He showed me the reason for the problem. It had been that the previous installer had used something other than wood. . . . I believe he said particle board, and he left it for my spouse to see also. His work seems to have fixed the problem and the window looks good and is dry with the new caulking around it. Next, he replaced siding that had warped from the heat of our grill. As it was a prominent position on the house, he used siding from a less publically viewed area of the house so that the match would be perfect. We are very happy with the work. The new siding he used to patch the other spot looks very good also. I wouldn't know that it was not the same siding or that it was changed. I'm very happy with the work.

He charges $75 an hour which I think is outrageous. I decided to hire someone who does the same work for $25 an hour.

They called and came right on time. The work they did on the porch post was better than the people that built this house. They were very skilled at the work that they did. Their price was very close to the estimate. It was also very accurate. There were two men. They were so efficient and didn't waste time or goof around. They were just the greatest. We have been so pleased with the people that we have found on Angie's List.

The gentleman was very polite and great with my puppy, Max, too. He was careful about his work; cleaned up after himself; and called me to see the newly installed kitchen faucet that I had purchased. I asked him questions about other services they provide, because I plan to use this company again. I had already checked out their website and it was nice when I called, because I could put a face to the name of the woman I spoke with. She was efficient, professional and so very nice that I could hear the "smile" in her voice. I highly recommend this company!
Description of Work: Removed old faucet and water purification system; installed new faucet and soap dispenser - in kitchen sink.

The ridge vent was fixed ind waertight in about 15 minutes. Then, the workman continued on to fix another ridge vent that was coming loose, but had not yet faailed completely. He also fixed a few gutter spikes that were loose and a few areas of soffet that were coming loose.All in all, I could not be happier and I will definitely use this company again in a heartbeat.. I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: I discovered that ridge vent on my house had come loose and was dangling by one nail. Muchr rain was forecast for that afternoon. In a panic, I called several refrences from Angie's list. Most roofing folks declined to help because this was a repair, not a whole new roof. Home handyman answered the call in under 2 hours.

We were moving and had to have a lot of repairs done on our home incuding having two railings installed and two railings brought up to code. We had Handyman Matters come and fix the balisters on our railings. They were punctual and polite, however we noticed some spots where the balisters were spaced unevenly. In our case the project was simply so the railing would be to code. We also noticed on our outside railing that some of the measurements were off on the new handrails. It wasn't very noticeable, but for the price I would have expected something a little neater.
Description of Work: We had a two railings installed as well as having banisters brought up to code which included fixing the spacing between the banisters. We also had our outside railing brought up to code by having the handrails made narrower.

I thought that Steve did a great job with the work he did - he was thorough and everything looks really good. He was also really nice to all of us (my kids and me). That said, he was really late - almost an hour - and he took 4 hours to do work that I still think should have taken way less time. Had I known that the cost would approach what it's turned out to be, I wouldn't have scheduled service with Handyman Matters, and I have to say that I'm extremely unlikely to schedule service in the future. Coupled with a late arrival, our schedule was truly disrupted for the day while I was waiting for work to be completed. Again, the quality of the work was excellent, but for four small projects, $320 far exceeds what I think is a reasonable cost. Also, Steve was on the phone a few times, though briefly, and took a really long time to complete paperwork. He didn't seem to have a sense of urgency as he slowly completed the work (hence the high cost).

They are extremely pleasant to deal with on the phone and offer many different types of services. Several years ago they built a trellis that is just beautiful. The gentleman I have used most recently is Curt and it is always a pleasure to see him. If he has any doubts about anything he will call an verify before he does it. He is a jack of all trades.
