I had a local plumber give an estimate for this job at $250. I opted for Handyman for Hire to shave a few dollars. (They wouldn't give an estimate. My bad). The bill came in double, and the work was adequate at best. I tried to work with the owner to come to an agreement. I asked him to come out and look at the work to justify the cost. He said he was "a busy man". I asked for an itemized list for the ridiculous parts bill. He said," that isn't done". Don't be fooled by previous positive reviews, this is a NEW OWNER. I consider this job to be robbery.
Description of Work: Hook up water to my garage where the line was already run. Just had to hook up each end.

Awesome company. Incredible employees. The attention to detail by HFH is superb. The jobs are finished in a timely fashion. The work areas are kept very neat even during demo. The employees go over and above to make sure the customer is happy and satisfied. Mike and Tim have been great to have on our job. Hire local. Buy local.

Sam will tell you that he is taking good care of you and that "you are his best customer" but when you start to question how much he charges for labor is when things start to get sketchy. Sam repeatedly added hours to the jobs that he was doing for me, and even his employees would tell me that he was "padding" the labor hours that his employees were working (also he charges customers double what he pays his employees). He charged me way way way beyond my original quote, and then never finished half the things he was supposed to. Be careful because he will take advantage of even his "best customers" but then turn around behind your back and call you his "cash cow" to his employees. Dont trust this company.

I have been working the Handyman for hire for about two and a half years, and they have continued to work through my projects with an attention to detail that was very much appreciated. We not only remodeled our office, but also remodeled an entire three bedroom rental, and now are are remodeling our house. Not only can I rely on Handyman for Hire for big projects, but little projects as well. Leaky pipe? Fixed. Hot Water heater? Fixed. Complete remodel. Fixed.

Every handyman that came into my home was professional, very knowledgeable and worked hard to do everything I asked. I had window air conditioners put in, which involved new wiring, new outlets, switches placed where I wanted them. Hand railings were placed in different areas of my home inside and out, out door lighting installed, wall to wall carpet removed and refitting a door to the bathroom which changed the entire look of my home, a new front door and storm door were installed. These guys are so good I have a list already for spring!

It didn't go at all. I called them and was told they didn't have the time because they have been too busy mowing grass. So, I suggested setting up a date the next month and he said to call him and if he wasn't busy he might be able to do the work. I didn't understand why we couldn't set up a date in the future so I would be on his calendar, but he would not do it. You need to take him off your list if he somehow knows he's going to be too busy in the future to do the work. He hadn't even come out to check out the work I wanted completed. This is the first time I have ever called anyone to do work at my home. I was very disappointed.

They did a great job! Even after we went over the invoice I noticed some things that were not done and they came back and fixed the rest. Each person had their own slips that I had to sign?off on, it was just a mishap b me. But they sent someone out right away.?The prices were excellent! They were great to work with if you had any problems, they sent supervisors over to make sure everything was going smoothly. I would recommend them to anyone!
Description of Work: They replaced some doors, holes, and casings. They also cased around some windows that were not done, they replaced old screens as well. They added three lights. They also subcontracted a plumber to fix the basement toilet and replacing the shower knobs and electrician to replace a fan with a light.

Sam worked with the homeowner's association and got approval for proposed work. He gave me a good quote with caveat that if water damage extensive, cost would be higher. The work began exactly on time. When workers discovered decades-old termite, carpenter ant and water damage to outside wall, Sam offered options on how to solve problem according to costs. The workers were polite and trustworthy. I had no problem leaving them at home alone so I could do work. A three-day project became a two-week problem. Handyman for Hire worked every day (except Thanksgiving) until the work was done to my satisfaction. I have to repair the upstairs to my duplex in the spring. I will have Handyman for Hire do the work. They are dependable and worth every penny.
Description of Work: Needed to replace sliding doors, take down a balcony, replace another and repair damage to outside wall caused by water damage.

They came to repair the porch roof but found that it needed the whole roof replaced. A job that should have been only a few hours lasted all day long. They stayed and did the whole job the same day which was unexpected. They did a great job and I am very happy with their work. They cleaned everything up when done. I am very pleased and will absolutely hire them again. absolutely

The bathroom had a leak and he was able to tell me exactly how to fix the problem and what material to buy.
Description of Work: He was very helpful. He told me what I could do to fix the problem and told me exactly what I needed to fix the leak. He said if that did not work he would be glad to come out and fix the problem. I would recommend him to anyone. Gold star rating. It was at my friend's home Lorretta Reda.

I was having a garage sale, was in the attic with my daughter, bumped something, and an antique waffle iron went through the ceiling into the bedroom. I was very lucky as it just missed a TV and the drywall that fell protected the hardwood floor when it fell, but, I had a big hole in my ceiling. He was very good, came over, he gets the job, and gets other subcontractors to do the work. Another painter came in, had to put in drywall, taped it, sanded it, and left it to me to finish. I did the final sanding and painting. You can't tell where the hole is. He came exactly when he said and fixed it. When I get the roof done, I'm going to call him back, as I have a couple of more spots for him to fix. I give him high ratings.
Description of Work: I used them last September. He fixed a big hole in my one bedroom ceiling.
