I hired Handyman Matters to replace the floor of the cabinet under my kitchen sink that had been damaged by a leaking pipe in the wall under my sink. Jack was here right on time, and was very polite and very professional. Unfortunately, the work couldn't be completed as expected due to a mold issue. Jack removed the floor of the cabinet, and part of the sides, to assess the mold and due to the extent he found, he was unable to continue. He advised me to file an insurance claim and hire a mold remediator. He even provided me with the names of a couple of water restoration companies. Since he wasn't able to complete the job I had hired the service for, I can't rate him based on his workmanship. But I was happy with the professionalism he exhibited, and the help he gave me in locating a company who could deal with the mold and rebuilding.

I'm sorry your damages were so severe, but I'm glad we were able to help point you in the right direction. Once you get the mold removed, we can certainly help you with the cabinet rebuild or replacement. The state of Texas just requires a mold remediation license for mold coverage over a certain square footage and we do not have one of those.

Everything was great. AJ was on time, very professional, very helpful. He lowered the original estimate given to me on the phone after looking at the list of items to be performed. He also noticed a couple items on the list were not necessary and wrote me a note to show to the home buyer to explain what wasn't needed and why. Everything was completed and completed well. I'd use them again.
Description of Work: He fixed a laundry list of items that were found by an inspector and needed done before we sold the house.

I got them from Angie’s List. The people who came out have been qualified and did a nice job. I think they are pretty competitive in terms of pricing and they seem fair since I have not used anyone in the area. They were on time. They charge by the hour. It’s $125 for the first hour and then $80 for every hour after. Then I used the 10% discount form Angie’s List.

Looking at Angies lIst reviews I thought I was getting someone professional. First off they charged a $45 fee to come and give me an estimate which other providers do for free. I was tols this fee would be deducted from the final bill if I got the work done through them. I had several lower priced offers from compitent handymen but had to go with them because we needed to get the ladder installed in a hurry. One of their guys came for the estimate and later that day I got a written estimate of $200 for the attic ladder installation. The next day I was in a meeting and could not be home for this but my wife was. The installer came and started installing the ladderand at the end of it gave my wife a bill of $460. Saying that he had to spend extra time to build a frame. My wife called me and asked if that was ok and I said we had agreed on $200.00, since I was not able to talk long on the phone he then somehow reduced to amount to $311.00 (there was no mention of the $45 I had paid already) and my wife paid him the check. I wrote a long email to Andy that same day explainging the whole situation and did not hear from him for 5 days and meanwhile my check was cashed. I called them again and talked to Andy who lied to me and said he had sent an email to me and for some reason I did not get it. And the only thing he could do is refund the $45. I am appaled at the service I got, how much offf their estimate was from acttual work, the tried to rip me off by charging more than 250% of the quote and never returned my emails. shocked how they can be rated so high here on Angies list.

As I explained on the phone, I did reply to your email the very next day, and forwarded that response to you again while we were talking. As for your job, when the craftsmen arrived to do the actual install, they discovered the new ladder was smaller than the original, which required additional labor. This was explained to your wife before we ever started work and she initialed by the estimate and signed off for the work to proceed. The craftsmen did spend an additional hour, but as I explained, we removed that hour to hold to our revised estimate. The final price was just under what we discussed. My craftsmen and I did everything possible to ensure everything was communicated effectively, the job was done correctly and you were charged fairly. I'm sorry you feel differently.

Everyone I dealt with was extremely professional and courteous. The handyman who came out was a very hard worker and very nice. I am probably pickier than most but a couple of the cabinet pulls were not even and the neither was the curtain rod.

First guy came out and didn't have a miter box/saw (Not sure how one would go to a job without the proper tools especially knowing your replacing trim), so the appointment needed to be rescheduled. Second guy came out and did a good job. I would use the second guy again not the first.

I wasn't aware of this, but will certainly do a little bit of research. I agree with your assumption, the first craftsman should have been prepared. Thanks for the feedback.
Handyman Matters was responsive w/estimates. The craftsman assigned to do our work was very punctual , courteous and performed high quality work. We will use this company in the future & would highly recommend them.

Because we had to move several large items into the room it necessitated Jack doing the work in two stages. He removed and cut out the existing door and frame and then we had the movers bring in the new items through the larger opening. Jack then came back and re-framed and installed the new door, dry walled and painted the adjacent area. Every thing went smooth, no hitches.
Description of Work: We were changing an upstairs bedroom into a multi-purpose room and one modification we needed was a larger entrance door. Jack came in and removed the old door, cut out the frame, reframed the opening, installed the larger door and custom made us a new door jam. He also had to re-drywall a large hole and re-paint the area.

This is our second experience utilizing Handyman Matters of McKinney. The two individuals who came out and installed the columns did so in a professional and what my wife and I thought was a quick time frame. They removed all the old spindle columns and placed the new 8' square ones in a matter of hours. All debris was removed and they did a fantastic job of sealing the new columns in place. We've already lined up two more jobs for them to perform over the next few months. I can't say enough about the professionalism of the employees and the great follow up from the company.

When the service man arrived he spent 15 minutes looking at the request and diagram, then told me he did not have the skill or tools to do the carpentry, but could do the electrical. Since he was paid by 15 minute increments, he at least took his time telling me he could not do what I asked. He then bad mouthed the previous owner who set up the appointment. At this point we were both frustrated.
Description of Work: There is gentleman who schedules appointment for this company who was the previous owner. I told him I was remodeling my kitchen and needed a licensed electrician to change some plugs and wiring and a carpenter that could change the configuration of the existing cabinets. I had the service department at Capital Distributing take exact measurements of the changes needed and provide a detailed list of the electrical requirements. He provided a detailed list with diagrams. I can told that they had a person that could do all of that and would call me as soon as he finished his current assignment.

We have no record of working with you. I think you may have the wrong company. I'd love the opportunity to assist you though. It sounds like the company you did try to work with before let you down. (By the way, I am the only owner this company has ever had). - Andy Bush, President
these guys are great. They were able to squeeze us in before the Thanksgiving holidays and get the new fixtures installed in our new house before the family arrived. They were on time and the price was very reasonable. There was one ceiling fan that was a bit difficult and we did not think it was completely secure. So we called and the owner came out later that day with one of his guys, right before Thanksgiving, and they were together were able to give a final tightening up of the fan in question. Now that is service. Will be having these guys back to do the next round of projects.

On his initial visit Jack determined the scope of work and which tools would be needed. He returned as scheduled & performed the repair. It took around 3 hrs. to complete the repairs. Jack was pleasant to work with & performed the work in a professional manner. It was obvious he knew what he was doing. I'm super glad I didn't attempt this myself.

It was a flat rate. Job was completed in about 3.5 hours, including a trip to Home Depot for a board. Guy arrived on time and was very professional. He explained why he was doing things as I was asking about them, and never seemed frustrated or bothered. Door went in and works well, good seal. Part of the outside frame was determined to be of an incorrect length, so a new board was purchased and installed. This was appreciated. The one thing I didn't realize up front was that all materials needed during the job would be provided, at my cost. This includes door shims, frames, caulk, etc. Lucky for me, I had most of it on hand, so no added cost, but if you don't, they will provide it, but charge you for it. Just FYI. This seems reasonable, but wasn't clear while selecting providers, so thought I would share.

First handman estimated the project would be 4-5 hours in length. A call to confirm the appointment was missed and the day of the repair nobody showed, as expected due to missing the confirmation, but there was also no other attempt by the handyman to contact me. At 8:15am, I had to start calling the office asking about the time he was going to arrive, unfortunately, it was the answering service getting my messages. After the appointment was rescheduled, the original handyman contacted me and said, "if I am going to drive all the way out there, someone is going to be there, right?" - My house is in Wylie/Collin County and my initial call to them to confirm servicing this area was available. The handyman's question gave me the impression my location and house was "out of his way" and required him to drive a bit more and that I wasn't important. The guy shows up and after struggling to route the cable behind the wall, decides to take a short-cut and drills a hole through my bedroom wall baseboards, run the cable outside the wall, drill another hole into the baseboards to get it back behind the wall to finally fish down to the first floor. I understood and explained it was not an easy task, but was very clear on what I wanted and if necessary cut some holes in the wall upstairs and repair them. I wished I could post a picture of what this guy did to get around an obstacle in the wall. Long story, short, the second handyman that came out, knew exactly what I wanted, fixed the first person's mistakes and did as good as job as possible, but believe the time involved getting it done was a bit ridiculous. My house was open to them and my neighbor kept a mindful eye. 2 weeks, 2 handymen - for a wall to be repaired, painted and an ethernet cable dropped from first to second floor. I won't be using this service again and hope they enjoy the 1000.00 from me, that is all they are getting having lost out on 3-5 more projects in this house and another rental. Hired another company that is doing awesome work completing all three projects in 3 days.

I am very disappointed to read this review. I know you had issues with the first craftsman we sent, but we worked very hard to regain your trust after that, and based on your feedback throughout the remainder of the project, I thought we had more than succeeded. As I understand it, you told both our Operations Manager and the craftsman that completed the work how pleased you were with the outcome and that you would be calling soon to schedule additional work. What happened since those conversations? I did try calling but never heard back from you. If there is something specific we could have done different I would certainly welcome the feedback.
