Spice It Up Handyman-I Do It All!

This is the second time I used Brian for work around my home. He is always punctual, friendly and does an excellent job on any task. Brian is a great help with any service you need done and I would recommend him to anyone in search of a handyman. He is also pet friendly which is a great help for anyone with pets like me!

Brian was fast, on time and efficient. This was the second time I used him.

He was friendly, professional, and very thorough.

On November 30, 2018 I hired Brian Spicer of Spice it Up Handyman to seal a leak from my garage floor that was coming into the basement storage area of my home. This room is part of the living space in my game room area. He purchased and used a product with a very strong smell, advising us that like paint, the smell would go away in a few days. In a few days that smell was worse, had permeated the house and was causing us to cough. Brian knew that my Significant Other had recently undergone lung cancer treatments. I urged him to do something about the smell. And I asked him what the product was that he used. He told me that he had left the can in my storage area. Immediately upon reading the label, I recognized what was wrong. The product was a rubberized adhesive; and in big bold letters the label indicated it was for exterior use only. The label says that it causes skin irritation, respiratory irritation, drowsiness, dizziness. That it is flammable in both liquid and vapor form. If inhaled, to call the Poison Control Center. Which is what I did. They told me to rent an air purifier and that the material needed to be removed. I called the local fire department that said it needed to be removed. But Brian insisted that he could just come and cover it with plastic. I insisted that he call the manufacturer who told him it needed to be removed. Instead of removing it he covered it with a product called B-I-N. This product itself had a smell of its own. I contacted a remediation company who will remove both products, and redo the leak with a product that is safe for interior spaces. I also had them test the air quality to see that it was safe for us to even be in the house especially with my Significant Other’s health issues. I have asked Brian to contact his liability insurance company to reimburse me for the original cost of the product and his services for using the wrong product; for the cost of the air cleaner, for the cost of the air quality test and for the cost of removing all of the products and having the ceiling redone. To date, he had ignored my request.

I hired Brian to replace a dryer vent, install a powder room sink and fix the wall behind it, fix a garage door track and trim around a garage door, fix a doorbell, and fix electrical outdoor outlets. He did a wonderful job on all. Very professional and polite - great price - nice clean work. Highly recommend! I will definitely use again!

I hired Brian to do multiple things. All were completed successfully. I would recommend him and hire him again.

It went great. He responded right away going on my roof to repair the section that was causing the leak.

We had leaking where an addition joined the house. We suspected loose flashing and so called Brian and signed him up. He came, checked it out, said he though it was more cracks in the bricks needing mortaring than the flashing. Was up there about an hour and a half. Used two tubes of mortar; he tries to keep supplies he knows he will need in his truck to avoid running to a store. Brian did an efficient great job. We have hired him before several times. He is prompt with replies, a quick efficient worker, and he is experienced. We would absolutely hire him again and recommend him fully.

He was responsive and on time. Worked quickly and did a great job. Will hire him for future projects.

Brian went to Home Depot and purchased a tarp for me and then went up on my roof during a rainstorm and made small repairs and then put a tarp down so I could leave for vacation without worrying. I called him when I got home from vacation and he came back and did work on the roof to caulk any holes and fix what he could find was wrong. I was very happy with his work!

Brian installed an over the counter microwave and moved the outlet. He also installed two kitchen cabinets. He was very efficient and did an awesome job! We were extremely pleased with his work. He also replaced 4 shut off valves. Great Job.

He was super nice and informative. They worked continuously.

On time and as expected . Good job . Would rehire

Both times, it went extremely well. He came with high recommendations from our Occupational Therapist, and he was very competent and efficient in installing the shower hand rails. He also is a problem solver, and works with you to achieve the best solution. I also had him fix some other minor plumbing issues. He did this job a month ago. I have a very high sidewall to my house and I mentioned to him that I would like to install several motion-sensor activated flood lights on it sometime. He said that he would contact me when he had some time to do the job. He contacted me last week to do it, and it was a challenging job that needed some ingenuity, which benefited from his problem solving approach. He also did some other minor electrical work for me. The motion sensor settings needed to be adjusted, so he came back a couple of days later to fix this. I like the fact that he works with you and is very accommodating to one's wishes.

Brian did a great job! I had a small list of random things that needed to be fixed to installed and he did it all. The work was done well and everything came out great! I would definitely hire him again if I needed something fixed or installed.

Brian did a fantastic job replacing over 8 electrical outlets throughout our home. He also filled in holes left from a radiator that was removed. He also retrofitted two outlets on our hearth that was not easy and required a bit of out of the box thinking. Everything looks great and he did in just a couple of hours.

Everything went well. The job required skilled electrical plus carpentry expertice with the installation of a basement ceiling. The 8 cannister lights make the room so much brighter. The painting, plus installing floor board was done quickly and neatly. Brian does it all effortlessly and efficiently. He also painted the hallway, plus all the trim and calked all around the family room, making everything look fresher and newer. The

He was very thorough in checking it out. Unfortunately, the transformer was shot and he explained to me how to install a new one, which will be easy. He offered to do anything else, so he helped me haul out a little of scrap wood, which was a lot, to the curb for garbage pick up.

Did clean work. Would hire him again.

Brian is great to work with. Very responsive. Very professional. Thorough.

I needed the work done quickly, and Brian made himself available on short notice. He promptly returned my call and worked with me on several scheduling options. Brian clearly explained his pricing, which was reasonable. I will definitely consider him again.

Great. I will call him again for my next handyman work.

Brian always does an excellent job. I have used him many times and will continue to do so. He doesn't waste time, gets right to work and doesn't abuse the hourly rate he charges which is very reasonable. his work is always excellent and professional.

Brian knows his stuff and takes the time to make it right! His attention to detail and knowledge is excellent!

He responded to my problem quickly and was able to be at my house to assess the damage right away. He was willing to work around my busy work schedule and be in frequent contact with me through every step. When he was at my house he noticed the larger issue, and was able to determine where the water was coming into the wall, and take steps to stop it. He was also able to fix the siding on my house easily. going the extra mile to make sure that my issues were solved. He was very professional and very easy to work with. I would defiantly hire him again to do work around my house.
