I researched Angieslist for a handyman and came across Steve's company. He also came recommended from another person who lives in our neighborhood. I spoke with him on the phone and asked for his email address so I could send pictures of what I wanted done. He called me that afternoon after receiving the email and we agreed on a time and day. He and his crew showed up on time and repaired everything I requested. They did a very nice job, were polite and professional.
Description of Work: I had them install wood floor transitions; install a new RO water dispenser faucet; install a new pop-up in bathroom sink; patch and texture the wall around the water softener in the garage.

Excellent! As noted above, I was very pleased and appreciative of the service provided. I could not have asked for a better job and will use their service in the future for a variety of items we have that need doing.
Description of Work: In this particular case, Steve's "team" helped me organize and clean out my garage, taking away everything that we could no longer keep to deliver for a good cause wherever possible such as Habitat for Humanity and/or people who could make good use of what we could not maintain now that we are empty nesters and moving to a smaller place. What impressed me above all was that the people working for the owner, Steve, and in particular the one young man who did much of the work was extremely helpful, polite, cheerful and enthusiastic about the job he was doing, careful with things, and he went above and beyond to clean up everything beautifully before leaving which was not even required but very appreciated. While on this occasion, we did not yet use the company for carpentry, etc., based on their attitude, professionalism, care and responsiveness, I plan to use them for any such needs we have going forward as I trust any such work will be done with the same quality. Thank you. K. Linse

Setting the appointment was easy. Steve was responsive and worked around the Thanksgiving holiday. They showed up on time and prepared with materials. They worked through the list and went over everything with the homeowners. We were very happy to hear how well it went. We highly recommend this company! 1
Description of Work: Steve and his assistant performed an assortment of minor repairs around a property that was newly purchased. I am a real estate agent and along with my broker we "gifted" the new home owners with this service. They were THRILLED. The services included plugging weep holes with steel wool, resetting a toilet, adjusting the hardware on a kitchen drawer so it would open/close smoothly,caulking exposed nail heads on the roof, tightening loose handles/faucet on tub and more.
Everything went really smoothly with Steve. He met me on a Saturday morning to see what all I needed repaired and had an estimate for me the next day. He was very accommodating when I emailed him a couple more times with more items that I found after our initial meeting. He advised he would be able to complete the work on a certain date, and I asked if he could do it sooner, and he was able to expedite doing the work for me. He then had me come back out the day after he was done and we did a "walk through" inspection. Everything was very well done, and I was very happy with his work!
Description of Work: Steve took care of several areas that a general contractor left unfinished in a house that I was rehabbing. He even did a few extra repairs for me that he found and really was a lifesaver for me on getting the house to a finished state in order to put it on the market. He installed and painted three interior doors, one exterior (to the garage) door, and planed a bathroom door so that it would close. He also repaired a huge "bubble" that had come up in the laminate flooring. He made sure the newly installed dishwasher was plumb, and up to code. He replaced some crumbling sheet rock under the sink area in the kitchen. He installed door strike plates and some door jambs that were missing or in bad shape. He installed a drain pan for the water heater, and made sure it was up to code. He installed a dryer vent exhaust ring. He also replaced a missing piece of ceramic tile in the guest bath, and installed a threshold for the garage entry door.

I employed Handy man Services for a whole day of work. Since the job involved staining and varnishing a door, he returned twice to apply the varnish and let it dry well before adding another coat. His attention to detail and quality of work was as impressive as his professional approach to answering both emails and phone calls. He was a delight to work with and rescheduled work with me when I had to attend to a parent's unexpected illness. Will I use him again? Absolutely!
Description of Work: Steve Lee refinished our front door and replaced wood in the back door frame that was damaged from exposure to sun and rain. The front door involved sanding the entire door which meant he had to buy a new piece for one of his tools to do the job well. He then matched the varnish on the inside of the door and recommended a better finish called "spar" that would last longer than the polyurethane that we replaced every year. He is very exacting and was careful about not letting the door stick to the weather stripping. The repacement of the pieces of frame on the back door were completed equally well. He cut the necessary pieces out of the door frame and replaced them with new pieces of frame that matched the design of the old frame. Supplies cost $75.00.

Steve and his son did an excellent job with some repairs to my home. We had a 2" square hole in our bedroom wall from a plumbing problem. Steve repaired the drywall along with the baseboard that was damaged. He even went the extra mile and fixed the edge of our carpet which the plumbers had ripped up. I also had some rotting wood around the entrance of my house. Steve and his son removed all of the old rotting wood, installed new wood, and painted the exterior so it matched perfectly. The entire process was seamless and professional. 1) I sent over some pictures in a text message of what needed to be done 2) Steve sent me an estimate 3)We agreed on the price and set a date for repairs 4) Steve showed up on time and completed the work. I would highly recommend Quality Handyman Services for any job around the house.

Steve and his assistant Chase showed up on time and I could tell immediately that they were really good guys who know what they are doing. I had a front door that needed a new handle and lockset installed, and I wanted to add a knocker and a peephole. They got that out of the way quickly and well. Then it was on to installing trellises on the front center of our two story house: five 2' x 8' in total. All had to go on level, and since they just barely fit into the wall space we have - it took people with their skills and patience to make it work. The whole time they were good natured and steadily busy. And, they cleaned up after themselves as they went, filled any holes in our exterior wall that needed it when they adjusted the positions of the trellises to make them work, and then touched that up with our leftover exterior paint so the job was truly done. Nice work, nice guys, and I already have ideas about more things around our house I would like them to do.

It went smoothly, from the time I called him, Steve was very responsive. I called on a Saturday afternoon, and he answered. He then came out the next day, Sunday, to give me a quote. I never got that kind of service from the big handyman businesses. I got scheduled a week later. I was very impressed. I am having him come back next work for other projects.
Description of Work: I was very impressed with Steve. He showed up right on time and did an awesome job. He fixed my fence, caulked a shower, painted some trim, installed a kitchen faucet, and put together some garage shelving units. He and his son did quality work.

Steve showed up as appointed, estimated the work cost and time, and completed the tasks in a timely manner. He was willing to do a few extra things that came up and charged fairly for the add on work.
Description of Work: Steve has done quite a bit of work for me over the last couple of years. Most recently he has painted a difficult exterior 3rd floor wall, scrapped and painted a tree house and fixed a long standing leak in my pool's filtration system. His cost is reasonable. He does the work expeditiously and the finished product has always met my expectations. I can recommend him without reservation.

Steve called me back right away came out the same day and then stayed in communication throughout. His quote was less than half of another handyman in the area!I am a DIY'er and know what needed to be done, but didn't want to do this work myself because its on the roof.He did a great job, primed and painted all peices before nailing them up and the results look great. His workmanship and knowledge of my problems was excellent. The price he quoted was exactly what he charged.
Description of Work: Steve did three repairs on our house for the one price. 1, replaced the wood trim on our chimney on top of our roof where the wood was starting to rot, including carpentry, painting and weather sealing.2, repaired a sofit facing including carpentry and painting the new wood3. sanded and painted some wood areas on the roof gable that were too high for me to reach.

I purchased a coupon for two hours of handymen work. I called first and was treated very warmly. I was assured the work would most likely not take more than two hours so I purchased the coupon. I met the handyman at my home. He was a little late but it was not an issue. He fixed both doors and even had time to do some caulking for me as well. He was very friendly and professional and I would recommend him and use him again.
Description of Work: I had two doors that were sticking. One was an exterior french door and the other was an interior closet door.
We are very satisfied with the way Steve both estimates and completes jobs. See the above comment about the particulars of work done.
Description of Work: We have used Steve Lee, who is Quality Handyman Services, as our handyman for some time, now. His latest job was to remove the old built-ins in our study to prepare the room for new ones. He and his helper did a nice, careful job, doing the removal and good clean-up. Then he painted the whole room. We are extremely satisfied with his work on this job. Previously, Steve saved us the cost of having a repairman fix our clothes dryer by determining that our problem of slow drying was caused by an overly long exhaust hose. He trimmed the hose to fit the location and cleaned the remaining lint out of the system. The dryer now performs as if it were new! Steve has also fixed a number of our problems with doors resulting from our foundation settling as a result of the extended drought. He had to reset hinges and lock mechanisms as well as replace a door jam. All this has been done professionally, with courtesy, in a timely manor and at an appropriate cost.

Apparently they contract with different handymen; some of them are really good; it just depends on their expertise and what their area of expertise. The first handyman who came out did not do a good job on my kitchen but did a good job of fixing a leak on my roof. Then they sent out another handyman and his area of expertise was the kitchen so he fixed that. I will use them again in the future.

Steve inspected the pump house and sent me pictures. Since I am remote and not able to go on site, I needed to work with someone I could trust and also someone that is willing to document their work. He then provided a quote. I sent him an email telling him to proceed. Within two weeks, he completed the job and sent pictures of the completed work. I have since inspected the finished job in person and he really did a great job. I am very pleased and would gladly hire Quality Handymen again if the need arises.
Description of Work: Steve rebuilt my pump house, contracted electrical, including new walls and rafters, siding and roof and also a new custom built door. Steve is honest and really does an excellent job. He also painted the outside and added a plug for easy access. The pump house looks great now and should stand for another twenty years.

Basically Steve did a very poor job of fixing the trim around my two bathroom windows. i asked him to come back and correct his work. He kept promising and gave dates, but never showed up. It's been seven months of broken promises. I've finally given up and will have to pay someone to correct Steve's mess. This is a shame because Steve did such a good job on the other handyman projects i gave him and is a very nice person.
Description of Work: I had Steve do several handyman projects around my house. He did very good on all of them except the last one. On the last one, i had Steve replace the trim around my two bathroom windows. The windows have an arch at the top. I asked Steve if he could do this and he said he had the skills. When Steve finished the work, the archs were not correct and were not the same width as the side trim, so Steve just cut notches at the top of the side trim. This looks horrible. In addition, Steve did not complete the bottoms of the windows. There is a big gap at the bottom of both windows. i asked Steve to come back and redo the top arches and fix the bottoms and he kept promising he would come and fix this and even gave dates. He never showed up. i made the mistake of paying Steve ahead of time since he did so well on the other projects. It has now been 7 months of broken promices. i'm giving up on Steve and will have to have someone else come fix Steve's mess.
