He was very pleasant. He told when he could come and he came when he said he would.
Description of Work: I had gutter that had broken from the ice two years in a row from when another company did the service. I inquired with him to place new gutters on and some plumbing for me as well.

The overall job went very well. He showed up on time and was flexible in his schedule. He came after traditional business hours and was professional with the tenant’s. He dealt with the long distance land lord situation very well. He was pretty high priced for a simple service.
Description of Work: I used Dan's Handyman Services to fix a running toilet in a tenant’s apartment.

Dan was responsive, professional, and punctual. Also important he kept us involved in problem-solving long-standing issues in a recently purchased older home; his proposals made sense to us. We will call him again!
Description of Work: Dan assessed problems we were having with rain water entering the house through a basement window, gutters leaking and water coming in under a basement door. He consulted with us about possibilities and solutions. He realigned and secured the gutters to achieve proper pitch and water flow, resealing many places, testing to make sure the job was complete. He cleaned window wells and drains,and resealed areas around windows. He ground water flow troughs in concrete basement door threshold to give water lines to run away from door and then sealed the concrete area underneath the door.

He is good as far as having broad abilities to definitely get the work done.
Description of Work: We used Dan's Handyman Services in June for gutter repair and several other things. He also repaired minor things like hinges that were broken, reattached a dryer that was unattached, etc. He did a little bit of electric work where a light wasn’t going on on the front porch.

I really liked Dan and was extremely impressed by his knowledge, presentation, and demeanor. I also told him I had some work for him finishing some closets/installing closet systems. He said the size of the job didn't matter, told me he looked forward to doing some work for us (that we were a "nice young couple"), that he would be able to get started in about two weeks, and that he would send a quote. Unfortunately, despite my efforts to hire him, Dan never got back to me. I would still hire him - because he seems like a guy who does exceptional work - if you can get him. Unfortunately for me, he was too busy or just indifferent. My advice - get him to commit in writing if and when he can do a job.
Description of Work: I called Dan's Handyman services and he came by my house on July 16 to take a look at finishing our partially completed bathroom renovation.

I’ve used him just once. He was excellent. He showed up when he said he would. He gave a very competitive quote and he actually came under budget. So he charged less than he quoted. He did excellent work. The exhaust fan is working perfectly. I would recommend him to everybody. I think the original quote was $900 but he charged $800. I was very happy with that. He got everything right. I will absolutely use his services again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Dan's Handyman Services. I last used his services three years ago I think. He put in an exhaust fan above the stove.

Response from Dan's Handyman Svcs
The gentleman caught me in the local home building center where I could not take any notes in regards to a name, contact information, etc. After several other phone calls while still in the home center, his phone call just slipped my mind until this rather uncalled for responce. If I didn't call back in a reasonable amount of time, I would think that he would have assumed something went amiss and just called back. I am only human.

Went well. he made the repairs and then billed us. The rental house is in Pittsburgh and we live in Florida.

I had to contact Dan a couple times to get the estimate which obviously should have raised red flags. I have no idea of the quality of his work as he didn't show up when scheduled.
Description of Work: Dan gave me an estimate for a variety of handyman services and arranged a date to begin. Not only did he not show, he didn't bother to contact me until after the fact trying to schedule another start date. I lost over a month in srarting this project and now must look for another handyman. Although Dan presents well-beware!

Customer was told in advance of extended wait time for job to start and was fine with that, in the interim I lost some employees and work backlogged quickly. I apologized to the home owner for any inconvenience she felt for a 2 to 3 day delay on the start time, it was unforeseen on my part.

His prices were over the top ridiculous. Men that have been doing it all of their lives, are charging way less per slab.
Description of Work: The estimate was for replacing or topping the rear concrete slab(4'x5'), connecting space from slab to back door, front steps(remove and replace) was $250/$950 to secure handrails, concrete dye, He wanted to charge $850 for one slab of concrete that everyone else was charging $200 for the same work. To cut one side of a slab to make it straight, he wanted to charge $100. He also quoted $125 to smooth out mortar.

When I first called Dan for an estimate, he was in the area and made time to come immediatley and lookk over the project. He provided an estimate and we scheduled a date. The day we scheduled for, he called ahead to say he could be late due to traffic. He came on time, but the call was appreciated. He got right to work, laying down a cloth to protect the stove and organizing the tools he'd need. He took his time, working steadily and planning out each step. He also explained what he was doing and why. When he found that we needed some different venting pieces, my husband went to the store and Dan replaced the ceiling fan upstairs. Dan didn't waste time, was very friendly and professional, and obviously knew his trade. We will call him again for other projects and would highly recommend him to others.
Description of Work: Installing an externally vented rangehood. The hole in the exterior wall already existed, but had been covered over by the previous owner. Replacing an old ceiling fan with a new one. Provided advice and an estimate on a future project to rearrange gas pipes to accomodate a gas stove.

Dan responded quickly to the Angie's list request I submitted. He responded via email. We agreed on a site visit for him to look at the work that needed to be done. Dan had several good questions and suggestions that others did not think of. He sent a quote within a week. We scheduled the work and had to reschedule due to our availability. Dan adapted his schedule to ours. He arrived on the morning he said he would and went to work quickly. He finished faster than he predicted. His work was excellent. He cleaned up the kitchen, left everything neat and clean.
Description of Work: Dan installed a large commercial grade range hood/ exhaust fan of our choosing in our upstairs kitchen. He provided a fair and accurate quote. He and his partner showed up on the day they promised to show up and performed the work neatly and professionally. The hood is working perfectly and looks great, inside and out. I would hire Dan again in a heartbeat. I recommend him to anyone.

I needed someone to install two ceiling light fixtures that my husband and I could not figure out. I left Dan a message and he returned my call a few hours later. He arranged to come to my house in two days. He and his partner arrived promptly and got to work. They hung both fixtures and they look and work great. I will definitely call him again if anything else comes up. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him for a small or large job.

Dan diagnosed the problems, made recommendations to solve the problems and then did a first class job making the repairs. In the end I was pleased with his work, his costs were fair and reasonable, and he was most professional. Since I manage this property from North Carolina, it is especially important to have the support of someone as responsive and trustworthy as Dan. I am confident that I can call Dan and he will assess any problems and make recommendations that I can rely on. I have used Dan's services several times now and will continue to do so. I recommend Dan without reservation.
Description of Work: Installed residential dual check valve (back flow prevention), expansion tank, removed and replaced hot water heater and water inlet valve, and repaired water leaks at basement laundry tub--all on emergency basis.

My experience went very well. Dan was responsive via phone and email. His estimate was detailed and included possible repair options. If it becomes necessary to do this work in order to sell my old house, Dan is definitely on my short list of contractors to consider. Personal meeting, price, and response to competition for the job usually determine who I contract to do work.

Dan and his assistant were here on time. After I showed them what I needed, they went right to work and completed the work quickly and efficiently. Tested lights and cleaned up. Since the motion sensor lights couldn't be tested very well during the day, Dan told me to go outside, move around, and call him that night with a report. The lights did not come on as they should. Dan returned in a couple days, made the adjustments, and the lights now work perfectly.
Description of Work: Dan replaced two exterior light fixtures with motion sensors, replaced a faulty kitchen fixture, and added a light kit to my ceiling fan. I provided all fixtures.

Not cheap, but worth it. An absentee landlord's dream. Dan provided an estimate for the work--came in $25 less--and made a good impression on our tenants. With his invoice, he also provided estimates for several other small jobs the tenants brought to his attention, and we've decided to have that work done as well.
