Christian, the technician was professional, personable, helpful, knowledgeable, thorough and explained each procedure, answering all of my questions. He cleaned up as he worked, and left the rooms where he worked in excellent condition. When I had a question, my calls were answered promptly by office workers or Gary, the owner. I felt heard and accommodations were made to my satisfaction.

Everything went great. Mr. Handyman was responsive to my request, staff is very knowledgeable and helpful and thoroughly answered my questions. Sam was the individual who did the work. He conducted himself in a professional pleasant manner, did a fantastic job, and I'm continuing to request his service for other projects. Although thru no fault of his...that $178.00 upfront fee they charge for the first hour is hard to swallow every time I need work done.

I have used Mr Handyman of the Western Main Line twice now and have a third appointment scheduled! I come from Chicago and my daughter lives in Malvern, PA and I do not have contacts there...but we have an endless list of tasks to be done. I found Mr Handyman and the rest is history. I HIGHLY recommend their services. Their hourly rates are not the cheapest, but they have been worth every penny! Their servicemen are professionals who are respectful, timely, and skilled at what they do...and that's what we need.

Ron Bishop came out to do our work. We had a potting bench that was is disrepair and a shutter that had blown down from a second story window. Ron got right to work and did an incredible job on the bench repair. He did a job in hours that would have taken me weeks and multiple trips to the store. He also made quick work of remounting the shutter. Ron was very knowledgeable, extremely pleasant and a joy to deal with. Also, Mr Handyman’s office did well with scheduling and communication. Nice work and highly recommended.

.From the moment I called until the job was done by Anthony Lauer, it was professional. I emailed a service request, received a call within an hour, was told I would have a service person out within the week and the approximate cost. Anthony did a great job. It actually took less time than expected and he applied two coats of paint to the powder room. He also hung an antique mirror along with the new towel rack and toilet paper holder. He cleaned up after everything was done and I can actually close the cabinet door properly for the first time in two years. We were going to replace the outside light but I purchased the wrong size. He removed the lights, bought bronze spray paint and painted the old lights which look like new. They would have had to be special ordered but that saved me a lot of money. I will definitely use them again and am making a list now as to what I want done next.

Shannon from Mr. Handyman was very helpful in scheduling an appointment; she called the morning of my appointment to see if an employee could come earlier than planned (another client's appointment had been postponed because the snow). Dale arrived promptly; he was friendly and polite and after we reviewed the work to be done, he began. Dale was efficient and the work was done well. Mr. Handyman's pricing *seems* a bit high, but I don't have the best idea of what work like this costs in general, and this area can be pricey. For the convenience /ease of scheduling and well done work, I am happy I went with this company and would work with them again.

Dear Member: We're sorry about the scheduling difficulties and that you continued to have problems with your toilets running. Our Technicians work from Ipads that provide all of the information for the job. When the system is up, things tend to run smoothly. If the system goes down for some reason, it can create scheduling issues that we have to recover from. The interior and exterior caulking and toilet repair work was completed on Saturday June 3rd at a cost of $409. We placed a followup call on Monday June 5th to ensure that the work was completed to your satisfaction and there was no feed back at that time or since then that the toilets were continuing to run. We guarantee our work and would have made arrangements to send the technician back out to further address the problem. If you would like to discuss this further or would like us to contact you, please let us know. Gary, Owner 610-647-5820

Garage floor and misc punch list was done by Dale - did great work. It all broke down when Derrick took over for shelving in closets and other work. 1 1/2 day project is still not completed, going on week 3. I have pulled the plug. Derrick suggested the design - I agreed to it - turns out it's all custom and he didn't have the parts - after the first 7+ day wait, was schedule to come on Saturday to finish - called me Saturday morning to say that he still needed more parts. I then asked him to change tactics and just put in plain shelves. I expected him that day. Called to confirm. He never showed up and never called back. I called the owner Monday morning and got no response. Then sent e-mail terminating the services. Received a response 4 1/2 hours later.

I had used this company before for a kitchen counter installation. I was satisfied with the work and price. This time even though the technician know I wanted an electrical outlet put in, he came without any of the necessary parts. So, I paid for him to go to Home Depot to get the materials. This took an hour. I could have gone and gotten the materials myself had I known he wouldn't have what he needed. When you make the appointment, you are told you will have to pay for the time it takes the technician to get what he needs. But, I just assumed since he knew what I wanted done, that he would come with the parts.

Thank you for taking the time to communicate how we are doing. If we are providing the materials, the technician will often go to the customer's home first to make sure that he understands the entire scope of the project before going to pick up materials so that multiple trips aren't required and charged to the customer. We work hard at communicating effectively with our customers and working to minimize the cost of picking up materials. Thank you for being our customer and we hope you will continue to allow us to help you with your future projects. If you have questions or further concerns please give us a call.

Nate came on time. He was great to work with. Very willing to listen and gave good advice and I ask a LOT of questions. He did a quality, thorough job and did it very efficiently. Once I saw how quickly and well he was working, I kept trying to think up more things for him to do. "While you're here..." being the operative phrase. At first, I thought I needed to call a plumber, a drywall guy, an electrician and a carpenter. But I was wrong. I just needed to call "Mr. Handyman of Western Main Line"!
