I was able to get ahold of them immediately to schedule an estimate and decided to move forward with them as the provider. The work was estimated to be completed in 2 days, largely due to area of ceiling that needed to be corrected. Bill arrived punctually and began work for fixing the door. When he said it was fixed I noted it opened fine but it still required some pressure to close and he proceeded to fix to work perfectly. On the bathroom though, he indicated he didn't have the tape required to apply the bottom shower door strip so he'd have to get that and apply the next day. I would've thought he'd come prepared having been the same person to provide the estimate. When he finished the caulking it looked like a first timer did it; it was thick, clumpy and not professional grade at all. I asked him to work on making it look better (smoothed out, thinner) and he looked at me like I was crazy, then eventually said he'd give it another shot. He did improve it but it was still not good; I could've done a better job and I don't know what i'm doing. Throughout his work on the ceiling he seemed to feel unsure of the job ahead of himself and this made me uncomfortable as I would've expected his discomfort to be provided during estimate and just tell me flat out if he didn't think he could do it. He eventually completed the first phase but when he came the next day it was still wet so he had to come again the next week due to conflicts in his schedule. He installed the shower strip at this time and asked we don't use shower for 24 hours. This was on a Friday. When we used it after the wait period, water was streaming out of the shower. When Bill returned the next week, I mentioned this and he said he'd try taping again, but then he realized he didn't buy enough tape and he wouldn't come back again for 2 days...so now I had no shower for another 3 days. In the meantime, Bill completed the ceiling drywall fix and painted. When Bill came last to fix the strip we had to leave another 24 hours before using the shower. Again, it kept leaking. I called Handyman Matters and indicated my discontent with the work in the shower and how it was obvious this is not Bill's strength area. I wanted someone with experience in bathrooms. They sent Steven who came to checkout the problem with the strip, he identified the issue and himself indicated the caulking was terrible. He proceeded to fix it and it looked great, the expected builder grade caulking job. Ultimately, though Bill was polite and punctual and the company was responsive, I can't trust that they won't send one guy to do all the work regardless of experience in an area. It was obvious Bill didn't do showers, this was a simple job and it became unnecessarily cumbersome.
Description of Work: I requested work to fix ceiling sheet rock, fix back door which would not close or open without applying pressure, and re-caulking the bottom of the shower stall including the bottom shower door strip. The caulking and shower strip were for esthetic reasons (mildew) and not due to leaks, etc.

Thank you for your candid feedback about our performance and I apologize we made you uncomfortable in our ability to complete the work. I will review your comments with our craftsman to better understand why he was not prepared when he arrived and why he appeared hesitant while completing some your projects. Again, my apology you did not receive the stellar service experience we strive to achieve with all our customers.

Excellent! This is the best handyman service I've used. Marc was punctual and friendly and worked quickly and efficiently. He asked if I was happy with the placement of the shelves before he hung. I changed my mind several times on the placement and he gladly accommodated. The quality was professional and I have received compliments on his work. Ultimately, I will call again for future jobs and would not hesitate to recommend Handyman Matters.

Damon came out initially on March 13th to evaluate the scope of the job. He was punctual, professional, and offered very helpful recommendations. He returned on March 20th, 21st, and a short period on the 22nd to complete the work. He is meticulous about his work and left the area in good condition at the end of each session. All in all, it went very well.

Although we didn't use Handyman Matters because they referred us to another company, I definitely plan to use them in the future if we have any handyman needs at my in-laws house. They were responsive, professional, and caring.
Description of Work: My in-laws have become wheelchair bound and we wanted to get small ramps installed to allow family and caregivers to be able to easily wheel them out of and into the house. I didn't know where to start but contacted Handyman Matters. They contacted me right away and even though they couldn't do the work, they suggested another company to help me, gave me the contact information, and had even shared the pictures I had sent them with the other company so the new contact was already pretty much apprised of what was needed. The company Handyman Matters referred me to got the work done the next day.

It was a challenge but he was able to put in back in a matter of minutes. I plan to hire him again for some repairs in the future.
Description of Work: Hevinstalled Plexiglass cover over a sky light. I had removed it to clean and neither I nor my husband could get it back in. I was hosting a large function at my house the next day, so it was a huge relief when he came right away and re-installed the panel.

The faucet had rusted parts and was difficult to remove, but my handyman was able to tackle the job and get my new faucet up and running. He was very prompt, polite, and kept the working area neat. Because of the difficulty in removing the old faucet it took about two hours from start to finish, but I was very pleased with the work and the price. Plumbing companies had quoted much higher prices for a kitchen faucet install. I used the $49 Angie's List coupon too.

This is our third experience with Handyman Matters and with Rick. We are very impressed with both the company and with Rick. The company is run very professionally, and Rick is always prompt, knowledgeable, and friendly. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: Handyman Rick Phillips performed various "odd jobs" for us this time: Moved a wall-mounted 55" TV. Moved two antique pieces of furniture. Cut out part of a desk shelf to repurpose it to my specifications. Hung several artworks in a stairwell. In addition, Rick consulted with us on how best to custom-build a doggie-gate for the foot of our stairs, as a standard kit would not work for us. We will be calling on him to create it for us as soon as we make our decision among several options he came up with. We also plan to have him back to switch out some exterior doors. On this occasion, he was on location for approximately 2-1/2 hours.

The workman did a good job on the painting but took his time in working on the gate. They get paid by the hour and can sure manage to squeeze extra time out by moving very slowly. It took him over an hour to put a new gate lock in because he did it wrong the first time. I ended up paying for his inefficiency and lack of expertise. I will be looking for someone who charges by the job and not by the hour from now on.

Two days before Christmas... only six days before moving out of the house... I was desperate to find someone who could replace a broken window before leaving the house to contracted buyers. I had received several highly expensive estimates because "replacing one window is costs a lot more than multiple windows." Handyman Matters visited me with an estimate at a small fraction of the cost offered by other providers! They were able to order custom built double-pane glass from a local shop to drop into the existing window frame, and presto -- within six hours of first arriving for the estimate the new window was installed and the job was complete!! They were the only company to give a fair estimate, based on the real cost to fix the problem at hand. I would hire them again without thinking twice and recommend them first to others!
