I called Mr. Farmer on September 4, 2018, left him a voice mail explaining what I needed done and could he please contact me about getting an estimate and contracting the work to be done. I did not receive a response, his voice mail suggested texting/email would be a better way to reach him. So I gave him the benefit of the doubt, due to the Labor Day holiday and all, I sent him an email on September 6, 2018 at 11:24, to date (September 19, 2018) still no response. In the beginning I was very impressed with his web site and the professionalism it portrayed, and his stellar reviews. Sadly I am very disappointed in this endeavor, as this was my first time using Angie's List, this experience has left me hesitant to contact either of the other companies suggested.

I am so sorry for the mistake. Please forgive my oversight. We were on vacation for the Labor Day time frame. I am sorry.
Matthew as always did an excellent job. I have hired him multiple times (always with a long list of repairs) and will continue to do so. He is detail oriented, meticulous in his work, and extremely professional. He is always punctual and efficient. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of handyman services.

Mr. Farmer 's voice mail is full and "cannot accept any messages". His message is to send a text note or an email. I have called multiple times over the past week and I get the same recording. I have also left text notes and emails to call me about work - and none have been returned.
Description of Work: Needed general repairs to home.

Matthew is my go to person for everything. His work and ethics are outstanding. I have used him several times and will continue to call on him whenever he can work me in his busy schedule. He has a long list of projects from me. I leave early for work and come home late. I have no problem giving him a key to my home so I don't have to be there. He leaves my home cleaner than it was before he arrived and his lovely wife has come to help him vacuum and dust after all the sanding. He even brings my trash cans up the hill and puts them away on trash pickup day. He has been a blessing to me. It is wonderful to find someone you can trust and depend on whose work is top notch.

Excellent! I have used Matthew for various jobs over the years. He is always on time, does excellent work and his charges are always reasonable. He cleans up after himself and is always pleasant and professional. I highly recommend him. I think he can do just about anything! He's done painting for me, assembled furniture, hung shelves and drapes, made repairs, done electrical work. He is a master craftsman for sure.

Matthew, gave me a very reasonable estimate for each of the To Do lists that I had made. I am the daughter of an architect, so I know what kind of quality "should" be provided, but have found that many odd-jobs guys have one really good skill, and the other things they say that can do are adequate, at best. I was extremely pleased with EVERYTHING that Matthew did. He was conscientious, focused, and even recommended a better solution to some of my tasks.
Description of Work: I had a number of odd jobs that needed to be done: water damage repair, painting, garage door trim replaced, replace broken panels of outdoor fence, put locks on gates, etc., etc., etc.

Mr. Farmer was great to work with, charged a very fair price, and did an exemplary job. We live out of state and the coordination with the property management company and our tenants was an extra step that he handled very smoothly. Having someone we could trust and count on when having work done in this situation was especially important. He provided lots of pictures and explanation both before and after. We definitely plan to work with him again!
Description of Work: We needed a wide variety of work done including exterior and interior wood replacement and painting, shingles replaced, caulking, and weather stripping.

I have used Matthew several times to complete a variety of handyman tasks, and he has always been punctual, pleasant, and professional. He was willing and able to do all the tasks I asked him to do, and he charges a fair price. He is coming back to do some painting and to put together a floor lamp. I am so thankful that I found Matthew on Angie's List!
