Excellent. In August our condo association had the exterior of the building painted and in this process the painters loosened all of the light fixtures but did not reattach them after they were done. I waited for our property management company to hire someone to remedy this problem but after 3 months of not getting a response I contacted Lou at Handyman Matters and explained what I needed done. We were able to schedule someone to come out that Friday and now my light fixtures are securely attached to the building. I will certainly be considering Handyman Matters for upcoming projects such as having some dry wall repaired as well as putting in wood floors.
Description of Work: Re-attach exterior two light fixtures to the Dry-Vit material outside of my condo unit.

I got immediate response when first inquired about service. Both the office manager and the owner were eager to answer my questions and review the work in question. The finished cost was within dollars of the original qoute with no surprise. The workers called when they were travelling to the site and always arrived on time. The paint prep and all the work on the roof was very good. I am slightly dissappointed with the application and final results of the finish coat of the paint on the porch. I would call this company for future work with the possible exception of painting. I will repeat that unlike many contractors this company was above most for meeting projected timelines and accurately pricing work.
Description of Work: Installed pidgeon spikes on roof added sealer to existing chimney flashing painted front porch which included reglazing 75+ small windows, scraping paint, primer and finish paint.

The Handyman arrived, discussed the job with me, took time to make sure that the position of the grab bars would suit my 92 year old mother (had her sit on her shower chair in the tub and demonstrate where she would want a grab bar). He then went to the nearest home improvement store to buy the grab bars and shower rod, called from the store to inform me that one of my finish choices was available only as a custom order and to discuss options with me, returned back to the house and promptly went to work. Removed the shower doors and informed me that there would be an additional charge to take them away, Installed two grab bars in the tub enclosure, curtain rod and cleaned up afterward. Installed the grab bar in the den. He was professional, courteous, and more than patient with my ten year old miniature schnauzer!
Description of Work: Installed safety grab bars in shower/tub, removed existing sliding, glass shower doors and installed bowed shower curtain rod, installed grab bar at two step entrance to den, cleaned up afterward and purchased items after seeing what needed to be done.

I am thrilled with the results. The craftsman stayed late so that he could finish the job in a single day, which was a big bonus for me. He was a professional and a very nice guy who did the job as if it were his house. The floor is beautiful and everything was left very neat. I will definitely use this service again.
Description of Work: Removal of existing carpet, padding, and tack strips. Installation of wood laminate flooring, transition strip to hall carpet, and quarter-round moulding to cover gap left for expansion of floor boards. Required many precise cuts and exacting fitting of the laminate boards together.

I spent about $350 on that service. The individual that did the work was very thorough, professional, and conscientious. He did what a good carpenter should do in terms of measuring twice and cutting and I was very pleased with the overall result. The price might have been a little bit high.

I needed some odd jobs done around the house and called Handyman Matters. From my initial phone call until the job was done I was quite pleased with every aspect of this company. They installed a new mailbox, replaced a shower head and troubleshooted an issue with an outdoor light. I absolutely will call them again when I have more work for them to do. Our service man was prompt, personal and professional.
Description of Work: They installed a mailbox (not just a standard mailbox), this one had a flowerbox, newspaper holder, and solar cap. They also replaced a shower head and did some work on some outdoor lights.

Paul the craftsman that did the work primarily on the deck was prompt, knowledgeable and very good at what he does. He listened and communicated well as to issues relative to construction or supplies. He and his team made multiple trips to Lowe's and the lumber yard to ensure the right materials were received. The project finished in about 7 days (there were a few rainy periods which slowed the progress. The deck is beautiful and exactly what I had envisioned.
Description of Work: Mr. Paiva came to estimate the expansion of a pre-existing (small deck). He was prompt, knowledgeable, and listened intently to my ideas for the project. Within a day, I had an estimate for labor for deck expansion (larger by approx 6ft to front and left), moving the garden hose line (which was in the line of the planned expansion), installing concrete footings, installing concrete pad, laying new composite decking and installing post sleeves. I had arranged with Mr. Paiva to select my own supplies and arrange payment for same (used Fiberon decking and pvc sleeves). I chose these materials as they have a 25 year warranty against fading and staining. The cost of materials was about 3800.00 and the labor 4500.00.

They were very reliable. They let me know what they were talking about. They were here on time. My overall experience with Handyman matters was top quality. Lou was great and very accommodating and helped me through a new process with a bathroom addition to my first home. I was very pleased with the service and work preformed. The staff was exceptional and finished all the work within the time schedule given. I have no complaints. My new bathroom looks fantastic, as well as my new floors. Lou was always available when I called or had a question and was more than willing to explain the process and help me out with any questions that arose. Most importantly, I felt I was treated fairly and not taken advantage of as a single women going through this process. I am very pleased and feel blessed and recommend Handyman Matters to anyone looking for a general contractor. Thank you Lou and staff!!!! Enjoy your summer.
Description of Work: I got a quote from Handyman Matters of Rhode Island a couple of weeks ago for remodeling a bathroom.

The gentleman that came out was really nice and very knowledgeable. My husband met with him and he had a really positive impression of them. We didn't end up using them for the work because we have a real handyman, who is a one-man kind of shop, and he could do the work for a little less. The price wasn't a huge difference but it was enough for us to go in that direction. He conducted himself in a very professional way and we had confidence that if we had selected him the job would have been done right. He was early for the appointment.

The only word I can use is fantastic, I did not have a worry in the world. I will refer them to all of my friends.
Description of Work: The company had to remodel an office and turn it into a bedroom, there were 2 doorways into the office, one had to be closed off and painted. The problem was that this door lead into the formal dining room, so they also had to paint and match the beadboard white and match the wall of the formal dining room which was fire engine, they were also able to match all of the woodwork. The employees were professional, clean, neat, arrived on time, friendly, came in on time and on budget. The Owner of the company made it a point to show up and check on the work, which impressed me. I will positively use them again. If there was a A+ listed Handyman Matters of Rhode Island would be at the top.

Timely, efficient and professional ! That's how we describe the work performed by Handyman Matters. The licensed, master electrician was especially detailed as he centered our billiard light over the pool table taking into consideration the measurements of the table but the room as well. It came out perfect. The ceilings look brand new! A wonderful experience. We will call them again, soon.

Handyman Matters was absolutely wonderful. On a Friday afternoon before a holiday, they responded to our last minute call. Ray took the time to come out right away and make sure that our first floor door could close. This was certainly a small project for his business, but from a security point of view, it was of extremely high value to us. We have used Handyman Matters in the past and are continually impressed by the quality and timeliness of the work done, the professionalism of the staff (including Cheryl, the master scheduler and point of contact), and the company's willingness to handle jobs of varying size and complexity. Handyman Matters' response in this instance sealed our already positive opinion of the company and its commitment to its customers.
Description of Work: I called Handyman Matters because the sliding door on the first floor of our house was stuck wide open. Ray came straight away, looked over the situation, pointed out that the door would soon need replacing, adjusted the rollers underneath, and within 20 minutes he had the door closed again. He also provided some ideas for how to replace the existing door.

He did an outstanding job. He put up the sheet rock, tile and flooring and we bought all of the materials. I thought the price was reasonable for what he did. We have another bathroom we'd like to redo so we are planning on having him come back, plus I have referred him to others.
