Spice it up handyman is my own business. i started it in 2009 but just like everyone i started out with schooling and working in this filed to get where I'm at today owning my own business. most the time its just me but i have a helper as needed. I prefer to charges an hourly rate with a travel fee.witch i notice saves people money and end's up being cheaper then a bid sometimes and they can keep adding things on to do because i'm so fast and good at what i do. but if you insist to have a bid because that's what you want or because its a big job i can do that for you and sorry no coupons or discounts at this time but over time after doing lots of work for you and getting to know you i will take care of you.in someway or another.

Brian was very professional and very nice. I actually went on home advisor to find a contractor to fix the 2 shingles that were coming up on my roof. I called Phil Evans Roofing @ Home Advisor to see what it would cost to basically naill down 2 shingles that were lifting up on my roof. The contractor told me for him to bring his crew out it would cost 325.00 to nail down 2 loose shingles. I was quite surprised that it cost that much. Phil Evans Roofing told me what I needed to do was find a handy man because they would be a lot cheaper. He said he had used Brian Spicer on his house and his Mother-in-laws house and his work was outstanding. I gave Brian a call on Wednesday he came out on Friday 04/15/17 and did the work. I had made quite a long list of things I needed done around my house. After Brian had done the work on my house I was so pleased I went over the list I had made and ask him if he would be able to do the work. Brian said yes. I am so greatful that Evans Roofing gave me Brian Spicer phone number. I have found my hany man for life. I highly recommend Brian Spicer for any jobs that a handy would do. Name of contractor is Brian Spicer , Company Name Spice It Up, # 586566
Description of Work: Contractor installed 3 outside lights. Fixed 2 shingles on a cape cod roof and replaced 2 deck steps that were broken.

Brian showed up right on time and went straight to work. He was very professional and worked fast. Other drywall companies I had quoted wanted anywhere between $400-$600 for this work. I would hire Brian again.

It was a joy having a worker in our home, that wasnt on his cell phone all the time. His focus was on the project and not phone calls... He arrived perfectly on time both days, and was a pleasure to deal with...and does excellent work. Very happy with our new floor.
Description of Work: Brian installed a floor for us... He did an excellent job, we were thrilled with his work, and will definately use him again in our future needs.
We were pleased with the work that Brian did. That attic space is fully insulated and has flooring now. He did the other jobs too which we were also pleased with.
Description of Work: The main job he did was install new flooring where he previously had to tear out the old flooring in part of our attic space to install insulation. He also installed a new outdoor light fixture above our front door, did some minor grout and masonry work, and replaced part of the framing around our deck door which had some bad rotting.
He did a very nice job painting, which totally changed her the look of our room. We also did a thourough job cleaning out our gutters and installing the Gutter Stuff. We were so pleased with his work, and his price was reasonable and affordable.
Description of Work: Brian painted our finished basement now family room from a drab dark brown mocha brown to a lighter grayish brown color called Safari Chic. He also cleaned out our gutters and installed a new gutter blocking system called Gutter Stuff, which keeps out leaves, seeds, and debris.

Good job done in good time and good quality. Brian has done 4 or 5 jobs for me and I was pleased with every one. He's very reliable and punctual. I was nervous when I first hired him because he charges by the hour. But he is very efficient and wastes no time. I'm sure that if I had hired someone by the job based on a quote, it would have cost more. Those guys make sure that there's enough padding in their estimates to comfortably cover them. If the job is done faster, the price is the same.

Brian made the extra effort to call me back promptly after I left him a message about the work I needed to have done. He also expressed sincere concern to do the work before first snow and cold hit western PA. Although I was at work while he completed this project, there was no sign of any mess which is often the case with gutter cleaning, and equally as important, he sent me a text with a few suggestions on avoiding future gutter problems. We will hire him to do additional work at our house. Great guy, pleasure to deal with! His work is worth every cent!

I've hired Brian before with excellent results, so I had high expectations. These were small jobs, but he did them just as carefully and professionally as the larger jobs. The sink drain was a messy job, but when he finished the area was as clean as when he started. After working on the light, we both agreed that repair wasn't possible. I decided to replace the fixture and ordered a. New one. When it arrives I will have Brian install it.
Description of Work: Open clogged sink drain; repair kitchen fluorescent light.

It all went well! We would definitely hire Brian for future home remodeling tasks!

Brian did a great job completing each job in a timely manner. He had all the necessary materials and tools. We are very pleased with all of the work he did.
Description of Work: We had several different handy man jobs for Brian to complete including replacing some roof shingles, small painting and grouting jobs, sealing up pest entry holes on our deck and in our home and installing a door bell.
Brian is a wiz. He charges $65 / hour + $30 per trip fee (and, of course, supplies cost). He works quickly and smartly and does a very good job. He is reliable and communicates well - even via text! We have hired him twice already and will always call him when we need things done in and around the house.

Brian did a great job, as usual! He recommended changes to our original work plan, which were helpful. We'll surely use Brian for future household needs!
Description of Work: Recessed lighting replacement, sconce lights added
Brain completed all of the jobs in a very competent and quick manner.
Description of Work: Brian is my "go to" handyman whenever I need something done around the house. He does all sorts of jobs - especially the ones that you have absolutely no idea who you should call. We needed lots of little things done this time - a handrail on the steps, an electrical box switch replaced, some siding secured and lots of other little things and he did it all. I have also used him for painting and wallpaper removal and many other jobs. Brian is an excellent worker. He knows the codes and makes sure that everything is done right. He is speedy and does not spend time on the phone making appointments with other clients. Brian is punctual and will come out for an estimate ASAP. He is a pleasant and enthusiastic worker and will offer suggestions to make the job better. We are always very pleased with Brian's work.

Brian did very good work completing the installation of our stationary tub. The re-grouting work looks very nice. The old grout had cracks and chips which he fixed. With our kitchen light he had to install the wiring and a new light switch, since there was no prior light fixture there above our kitchen sink.

Brian did a very nice job building our new guardrail using some of the wood from our old one to save us some money. We like the look of our new guardrail so much better. He also did a great job installing the plumbing for a new stationary tub for our laundry area. We took before and after pictures of the guardrail and the plumbing for the stationary tub.
Description of Work: We had a guardrail that was not to code surrounding the stairs of our third floor bedroom of our cape cod. Brian created a new guardrail using a picture of one I had taken from HGTV. He also installed the plumbing for a stationary tub for our laundry area.

My husband and I were very pleased with all of Brian's work. He is very detail oriented and thorough with his work which we like. We are so pleased with the work he has done and with his prices that we already have future jobs in mind that we want to hire him to complete. We would highly recommend Brian to anyone who needs handyman work done around their house. His prices are very reasonable and his work is high quality.
Description of Work: The work Brian completed at our house included installing a pantry cabinet in our kitchen, which involve moving around other cabinets. I hired him again to weather stain our deck, do repointing of our chimney and replacing a few bricks, painting a small section of wall where he had taken down a cabinet, installing a flagpole holder, installing a new thermostat and mounting a flat screen T.V. to the wall on an existing stand.
