We had Matthew out last year to replace shutters and repair a leaky window on the home that we live in and was very pleased with his work. So, when I had a very long list of repairs needed to my rental home he was the first person I called. He is prompt, professional, courteous, reasonably priced & very attentive to detail. He communicates the work to be done thoroughly and is always easy to get in touch with. All work was completed Excellently and on time. Everything listed took about a week and each time I checked on the progress I was amazed at how much he had gotten done and how nice it looked. Upon completion we were provided receipts for all parts purchased. He takes a genuine interest in taking care of our home and has always exceeded expectations. I highly recommend him!

We currently have our house on the market, and one of the items we wanted to correct was to have the stand-alone shower re-caulked. We attempted the job ourselves, but during the process, one of the slabs of marble in the shower became loose. From that point on, we knew we needed help. After several attempts to get someone to look at the job (including plumbers and other handymen) we contacted Matthew Farmer. He told us that his schedule was pretty full but he would come by on Friday, July 17 to look at the job. He arrived when he said he would, throughly inspected what needed to be done, and informed us that he could take the job and put us on his schedule for the following Friday. On Friday, July 24th, Matthew arrived right on time at 9 A. M. and immediately began working. He worked until the job was completed, his price was what he had quoted us, and he was very professional during the entire process. We have some other jobs that may require a handyman, and we will not hesitate to call him again.
Description of Work: Re-caulked shower, which included re-attaching a loose section of marble in the shower stall.

Great! Gave me an oral estimate on 1st visit and followed up with a more detailed estimate via email; arrived on time on date promised and got right to work. All work done very well. He told me afterwards that work took a little less time than he estimated and would cost $25 less than quoted. I was so impressed with his professionalism and honesty I paid him the original estimate. Would use him again for sure!

Without writing a book, Matthew showed up quickly and gave me an estimate with pictures for the Squirrel holes that needed closed and also told me about the other things that needed to be fixed to get the house on the market with pictures. He did not try to pressure me into any other work but wanted me to know about it as I have not been to the property in several years. He gave me updates on when he was going to be there and updated me with pictures of the work as he was doing it each day. He brought a buddy over (after asking me if he could) to help with the roofing because of the situation we had with the squirrels getting in the roof. Since I am not in the area of Memphis TN and live in Dallas TX I was very pleased with the work he did and will call him back when I need work done. updates while doing the work and honesty upfront is how Matthew operates. I could not be happier with his work and all aspects of the job. His costs and receipts were itemized copied and emailed to me after each part of the job and were not inflated at all. His hourly cost is very reasonable, his work is top notch. Thanks for taking care of my property better than I could.
Description of Work: Repaired roofing, siding, window trim, squirrel holes, shingles and painted needed areas.

I contacted Matthew about removing the old crank and adjacent side piece off a window that I am having café shutters installed in the kitchen. They could not install the shutters without this being accomplished first. I send him a picture of the window and he said he would be able to do the job and would get back to me with the date. A couple of days later he texted me that he would be able to come the following Monday or Tuesday and perform the work. We settled on Tuesday and Matthew arrived a little early texting me first to ask if this was alright. I said yes and he came over and examined the window in more detail. It took a little longer than we thought as the something had been added to the window along the way but he did a terrific job and repaired everything nicely. You can't even tell where the crank was, everything looks smooth and clean. He is a very nice gentleman and I would recommend him to anyone looking for handyman services.

You cannot go wrong if you hire Matthew. Came out to give me an estimate in a timely manner. When hired he showed up at exactly the time he said with ALL his necessary tools and equipment. Went straight to work - all day without a break. He is a real gentleman, and "required" me to give him updates on the quality of his work as he proceeded - A+!! Due to the then upcoming cold / icy weather, we are having to resked for a couple of other items for some outside work when this crappy weather breaks. I am looking forward to having him out here again.

Matthew is everything you'd hope for in a handyman - punctual, quick to respond, fairly priced, tidy, and friendly. He was able to work us into his schedule pretty quickly, which was helpful for us in that we were able to then proceed with other parts of our renovation. We will absolutely be calling him again for various projects as they arise!

Mr. Farmer arrived in a few minutes after returning my call and took care of my light problem. I also found out he had actually gone home for the day and taken a shower before receiving my call and got back out to help me. I cannot begin to say how grateful I am for the assistance I received from Matthew Farmer when I was in distress. He is such a nice young man and I will be calling on him for projects or problems in my home in the future.
Description of Work: In attempting to change the light bulb in my front porch light, I was not able to take the globe off. In struggling to get the globe off, I accidentally dislodged the whole fixture and it was dangling by the wires. Having no idea what to do, I decided to call Matthew Farmer. I had seen his information for handyman services on Angie's list. I left a message for Mr. Farmer describing my problem and he returned my call in approximately an hour. He asked my where I lived and stated he was on his way home and would come by my house to help me with my light.. Mr. Farmer took care of my light problem..

Matthew arrived at the appointed time and went right to work. He repaired the hole in the ceiling (don't ask how it got there). The repair job and painting is perfect. You can not tell that the ceiling was ever damaged. Matthew always cleans up after the job and is very careful. I hope we don't need any more repairs soon but we will use him again if we do.

Matthew did a great job! He spent some time testing some of my cable wiring at my request. The actual mounting of the TV probably only took an hour. He was very professional and I was thrilled that he was able to stop by on the same afternoon I called him. He also had a tall ladder and was able to check one of my lights in my kitchen. I will definitely call Matthew the next time I have a need.
