Mr Handyman removed one rotten fence post and replaced with a new one. He didn't have our style of fence post so he had to go to Lowe's for a replacement. Mr. Handyman charges by the hour which included the trip to Lowe's. Otherwise, he did an excellent job which included removing the rotten fence post.
Description of Work: Repaired one rotten fence post.

He was great. He wasn't able to hang the over hood- but did give me a detailed reason why. He helped put the vent together and then installed light fixtures. He was very professional and helpful. Definitely would call on him again.

The Handy Man arrived on time and was prepared for the work. His service was very well done with special attention to details. He did not hesitate to complete all the requests made. He secured a board that was pulling away from the deck and the brick side of the house. I was pleased that he repaired the section very secure and tight.
Description of Work: Handy Man replaced rotten and loose boards on the deck.

Mr Handyman's office said they tired to call us at our numbers, but the phones didn't work. Our phones (home & 2 cells) keep records of missed calls, and we do not have any record of any calls until the technician called our home phone. In addition, I contacted Mr. Handyman, and they got back with the same old "We tired to contact you several times". The e-mail from Mr. Handyman (November 3, 2014) Ken, I just spoke with you and have tried to call you back several times on the number you provided. That number, as well as all the other numbers I have listed for you, do not work. They will not connect or let me leave a message. Please contact me at the office and I can collect payment over the phone. Regards,Tamie Lamme Customer Service Representative Mr. Handyman of NW Austin 512-944-4504 tamie.lamme@mrhandyman.com Tamie called our home phone once, while I was on long distance, but left no message. My wife's cell phone rang while she was in the bathroom, but no message. Our phones WORKED on October 31st, and the WORK today, November 3rd. We have use Mr. Handyman several time over the past 10 years, but they must be under new management. I have never hand such a poor professional handling of a request. The total requested payment of $226 has been paid for this poor service.
Description of Work: Picked up dishwasher at our house at 8:00 am and took it to a rental home (13.5 miles; 26 minutes without traffic). He arrived a little after 9:00 am -- Austin traffic), but it took close to an hour to decide that the space wasn't going to work in the old house. About 10:00 am I got a call from the technician describing the problem, and decided to cancel the order, since I was told that it would take 4 or 5 hours to take out the tile, find & install new tile and install the dishwasher.

Response from Mr. Handyman of NW Austin
I'm sorry you had a bad experience. That is rare. Our technicians are paid by the hour, including time for transporting appliances, troubleshooting, etc. My technician called me after determining it would require removal of tile and cement backer board to remove the dishwasher. He also looked at possibly cutting the legs off as an option or trimming the under side of the counter top. I called and left a message on your wife's number (which I also have a record of). I also called your number but did not leave a message. My technician was standing by. He was able to reach one of you on a subsequent attempt. We have made a few mistakes in the past, and we always own up to them. In this case, however, I don't see where we did anything wrong, and certainly not anything that warrants an "F" review on Angie's List. I'm willing to work with you on the charges if you feel they are unfair. My mobile number is 512-460-9416. Sincerely, Brian French Owner, Mr. Handyman of NW Austin

Jim, the supervisor was excellent with my mom (it was her house) and she is elderly and difficult to explain things to. My mom loved the construction man that did all of the work. We will request him again if we need anything else done. Everything was done according to the bid, they were timely and even early with the painting. It looks very nice and we are pleased with the service and the price for everything they did was fair. They even changed out an extra board under the porch that was rotten and installed a new porch light for me (I purchased it) so I did not have to do it.
Description of Work: Change all of the siding on the front of the house, replaced some rotten boards, painted the whole house and replaced the door and frame going into the house from the garage. Also, replaces the door knob.

I was very reluctant to have somebody out for such a simple and relatively minor problem but my front door was very hard to open and my door to the garage was very gappy and difficult to open and close also. Marty Allen was the technician who came out and he was very quick and thorough. He determined that with the front door I really needed to have the lockset replaced as it was very worn, but in the meantime he adjusted the way the door was hung well enough that it works quite satisfactorily and I can live with that until I can select a whole new locking mechanism for it. When I do, I will definitely be calling them for an install. He did that so quickly that I used the remainder of my hour of service to have him take a look at the door to my garage. He determined that the doorframe was actually installed at an angle making a perfect fix impossible but he adjusted the hinges enough and installed weather stripping at a different angle sufficiently to make the function of the door much better and something closer to a good seal without gaps at the top.
Description of Work: Fixed two doors that were very sticky by making adjustments to hinges, adjusting with shims, and replacing weather stripping, etc.

Mr. Handyman of NW Austin did a fantastic job for us. My husband is swamped at work and we had a huge To Do list we could never get to. I liked the fact they have all the right insurance and are bonded. Not as cheap as some unknown off Craigslist, but these guys do quality work and are very professional.

My experience was so far so good. They’re currently working with us. It’s not the first time I’m using them. They sent someone to fix the air conditioning and someone to fix the roof and the drywall. They were really responsive. They’ve done good work. They’re busy right now and I had to get them scheduled. They’re a little bit pricey but not overly so for this area.
Description of Work: Eight or nine months ago, I had a leak in my air conditioner that they fixed so it will not drip like that. The leak made a hole in my garage ceiling. They fixed the ceiling mainly.

Has to be the best Handyman service in town. The handyman showed up on time and did the work as detailed. The installation of the kitchen faucet was very challenging with pipes not fitting properly and causing a bit of leak. This was fixed. The faucet was installed very cleanly. The old faucet had rusted and it was cleanly removed.

Marty Allen and his assistant arrived on time, amd discussed with me what I wanted done. They worked diligently the entire time, and the work was well-done. They had some of the material that they needed on their van, and quickly acquired the rest at a nearby Lowes. They put down protective material where they worked, cleaned up afterwards, and removed all related debris. The cost mainly was for labor, but included some and materials (but not the disappearing stairway which I already owned). I selected the firm because they had such good reviews, and no F or D ratings. The hourly cost does seem high, but is not out of line with other service providers (AC service, electrical service, etc.).
Description of Work: Installed a disappearing stairway in the garage, cleaned and caulked the edges around the base of a large walk-in shower.

Mr Jim showed up on time and promptly got to work. My cabinet and drawer fronts were not quite level so he went the extra step and leveled them for me before installing the handles. Everything looks great! Mr Jim was friendly and professional, he even did a nice job of cleaning up afterwards. I would definitely call them for some up coming jobs I need done around the house.

I called the number listed and they said it was the wrong company, they said they would never do that much work for that little amount of money. They gave me another number to call, who also said they weren't who I was looking for. I then wrote a message right away and the original service provider called me back and told me they don't service my neighborhood.

[Member name removed], I apologize for the confusion. My company did in fact offer this deal. However, some of the zip codes we serve are split with another Mr. Handyman owner. Unfortunately, you are just outside our service area. Those split zip code should have been excluded from the offer. As a franchise, we would get in big trouble for performing work in another owner's territory. Angie's List will give you a refund for the deal you purchased. I aplogize for the inconvenience.
