Tyler is exceptionally professional and responsive; however, his workmen do not always meet this standard, and this caused poor quality and some incomplete, unacceptable work. But to his credit, Tyler made good on everything -- he made sure he returned until we were satisfied. The price, of course, ended up way higher than we had expected, but we were given the estimate and approved it after they were already out here. Quality control is the issue to stay on top of -- but the Representative of the company fulfilled our expectations without getting frustrated or angry with us (which would have been inappropriate). The grade of "B" is due to Tyler's professionalism.
Description of Work: Sanded, repaired, and painted old deck.

It turned out really well. They did a good job. There were additional charges because we had them do some other stuff. We were very happy with the service. They had some issues getting the heater installed properly. I think it was more the directions that came with the heater than it was their fault so they had to come back a couple of times to get everything done. Once they got it done, everything was fine.
Description of Work: It was a Big Deal. He just ran some electrical lines and installed some bathroom heaters.

The fix was very professionally crafted. It looks good, and fits the rest of the house. Ray even found that the problem wasn't as bad as it originally appeared. My yard was cleaned of all the debris after the work was done. I was happy with the outcome & would recommend Best Austin Handyman to anyone.
Description of Work: I had some rot on the edge of my roof. It turned out to be a bigger job than the coupon covered, but that wasn't a problem. The estimate was very close to the actual cost of the job.

It went very well. I was prepping a house to sell and I had them do several things. I was a pretty happy camper overall. The only downside was the guy they sent to paint my stucco hadn't actually done stucco painting before – but he still did a great job! The concrete guy also did a great job.
Description of Work: I bought a deal for $99 for 3 hours of masonry repair. I had them do concrete work and painting work.

It was okay. I didn't pay more than the Big Deal price. They did maintenance on two doors but couldn't do another door because it an old 1940s door. I wouldn't say it was outstanding but it wasn't bad. I wish they had the parts on hand because they had to leave to go get parts.
Description of Work: It was a Big Deal and they did maintenance on two doors. They adjusted a patio door so it would latch and lock. Then they worked on an exterior door going to the backyard. The dead bolt couldn't latch very well and they adjusted that.

Our sincere apologies that your experience with our company was less than satisfactory. This offer is often misunderstood. Three hours is extended for consult and design time resulting in rough sketches as opposed to developed renderings. Since your scheduled appointment we have hired a new design team that has received positive reviews and we would be happy to extend another consult free of charge.

.It did not go anywhere, because when time was nearly up for this special, and although they told me my $79.00 would always be good, I could never get them to respond to me after that--respond to me with action, that is. Now I would just like my refund of $79.00 and no unfulfilled promises of what is going to be or could be. I trust other handymen who really did show up and on time and did good work. They have had my money for over a year. They have it, as it went through on my credit card immediately for this supposedly good "Big Deal." Angie's List will undoubtedly be able to confirm that they collected the money for this, as it was done through a "Deal.":
Description of Work: Time nearly ran out on me for this "Deal," and then I could not get them to return my calls or email me to do anything at all for the 79.00 which they accepted from me. I had been told when I called that they would always honor the fact that I had paid them $79.00 and do work for this amount and I was to have no worries. However, I found them unresponsive by phone, putting me off. Usually I was told I had the wrong number or the wrong person. I would like a refund of the 79.00. They have had at least a year's worth of interest on my money. This is why I am now wary, very wary, of any so called "Deals." They have my money, and did nothing whatsoever for me.

We are sorry to hear about your experience. We are always want our customers to be able to reach us when needed and apologize if this expectation wasn't met in your case. It has been 19th months since this occurred and in that time our company has grown. We have a larger staff now receiving incoming calls and handling client scheduling. As far as your coupon it has never been our policy to deny expired coupons. We would still be happy to honor your coupon. To receive a coupon refund you will have to reach out to Angie's List directly. If you have any further questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out. We would like to have the opportunity to get this resolved. Please let us know what we can do to make sure that you are taken care of.

The man that came out was so awesome. He was very hardworking. He was so professional and really helpful. I had purchased wrong parts and he went out and got the correct things that we should have purchased in the first place. He even came in on a Saturday afterwards to finish installing because he had to go to other people and get those parts. I was torn because that was awesome that he would do all that. The only issue I had was that seal on one of the weatherstrip doors still had light coming through after he had left. I didn't complain because he had been so good to us so I didn't want to sound negative. I feel like he would have come back had I said something.
Description of Work: It was a big deal purchase. He weatherstripped two exterior doors. We also moved from a regular door knob to a deadbolt. He tightened it so that it wouldn't wiggle.

That worked out very well. They did a good job. They showed up on time every day which for me is critical when I hire a contractor. The workers were all friendly and hardworking. The quote was reasonable. I think the price was pretty reasonable.
Description of Work: They actually demolished and built a deck for us. They didn't have to demolish the whole thing because the framework was there but they had to put in all new decking material because there was dry rot.

TERRIBLE! The first technician cancelled the first appointment. Then came out a week later and said the job was no problem, and would take 4 hours, which was the terms of my Angie's list coupon). For some unknown reason, that technician did not show up to do the work the following week. Another tech named Chris came out. If you use ABHM, do not, I repeat, do not allow Chris to do work on your house. He made a mess of my back yard, left trash and then expected to collect a check at the end of his day. I looked at his work and immediately said I was not paying for this crap. Cuts all over my siding, the door did not close properly, you could see daylight through the seem between the door, etc.. etc. etc. After a half hearted attempt to convince me to pay and a call to him manager, he left. I talked to management over the next couple of weeks. Although this person was nice, ineffective would be my assessment of the communication. They sent another tech out who actually had skills. Amazingly, this tech went on and on about how many times he has to come out to clean up Chris' mistakes. It took three trips to my house for this tech to finish the job. I called management to settle up the bill, they never answered non did they call me back. A month later I received a bill. I would never, never use this service provided, for anything. Beware.
Description of Work: Installed exterior door to patio.

We made every attempt to satisfy this customer, with repeated phone calls back and forth it was our understanding that we had come to a completion with the work and the client's satisfaction. The original technician is no longer with us and we apologize for all of his mistakes. We also paid for all of the warranty work, sending out another technician to make the job right. We have since improved our management intake and outtake call system and are working to get the satisfaction of all our customers. We appreciate the feedback, however negative it might be - it allows us an opportunity to assess our process and improve.

He came out and took measurements and never followed through with plans. Said he’d email us but hasn’t. June was last contact. At this point we’d rather have our money back, since we wanted it last spring. Him coming out was very professional and prompt, but we've seen nothing since.

No work was done. Took off to get supplies, hit our neighbor's trunk and never came back. After trying to get in touch with the head of the company, I finally told the secretary/phone person, I did not want them to come back. The job was dropped and there was no offer of a refund. We hired another company to fix our fence.

After many attempts to schedule to someone to do come and take care of our handyman to-do list ...the "handyman" was delayed, and delayed...till he called that he will not make it that day and the promise he will come the following day. That never happened. Nobody followed up to attempt reschedule or to check on things. After another set of attempts (emails and voicemails) to get things going - this time completely unanswered - I had to ask Angie'sList for a refund. ==================== Update: After posting the review, the owner called me personally to apologize and offer his services again, with promises of making it up to me for all the "misunderstandings" and that I will have to deal only directly with him. I agreed to give him another chance, since I still have plenty handyman tasks and projects around the house, and he promised that will come personally to provide an estimate. That did NOT happen, once again the date and time came and passed, without him showing or calling.
Description of Work: Nothing. Scheduling with them proved to be sisyphean work.

We show no record of any of this in our system and after seeing their review we set an appointment next day at their request. When we arrived at the address we had on file, the homeowner informed us that this was his previous residence and at that point was no longer interested in having us out for an estimate. He was very rude and we have no interest in doing business with him in the future.
