Austin Handyman LLC

The gentleman who came out was your basic handyman type guy and he was perfectly nice and he did a perfectly good job. He did wind up power washing the stairs too, not just the flat deck, which was lovely and fine and then he stained the deck part, which was part of the deal. I think I have 440 square feet of the deck, not just 400. So, they got back in touch with me and said, "Hey, we did a little extra work. That will be $400 more." I said, "Well, I don't mind paying you extra because you did extra, but if we prorate, then I owe you an extra $80 for power washing plus a few extra for the 40 extra square feet, like $100." They were like, "No, it will be $400." I said, "I'm not paying you $400," and they said, "Well we're going to put a lien on your house," and I said, "Bite me," and then they sent me a threatening letter and I was just like, "You've got to be kidding me." It was a horrible experience, but I hate to give them an 'F' just because the worker guy who came out was fine and lovely. He did his job. The guy was late a few times. He did a fine job. I don't think they were professional at all. I sent them an e-mail. I didn't want to talk to them again because they had been sort of combative and not very pleasant. I called Angie's List and I said, "I'm having this problem." Somebody from Angie's List suggested that I, pretty much, sort of go, "Okay, you all need to stop bothering me. You're not going to get $400. If you keep bothering me I'm going to have to write bad reviews," because I hadn't even written bad reviews. I was like, "Okay, you go your way, I go mine." That's when they sent me that nasty letter threatening to sue me. So then, I went on every site that I could find and gave them terrible reviews. I've never done that in my life. I went on Yelp and Yahoo and Angie's List and Facebook and everything. They left me alone after that. I haven't heard from them in four months. It was just awful.
