I emailed Handyman Matters & I did not get a phone call or email. The least they could of done is give me a courtesy call letting me know that they do not service my area or that at this time they are too busy.. Not very professional on their part.

Steve arrived on time and did a great job on every project. He is very professional, takes great pride in his work, and is flexible. We originally intended to have a light fixture installed in the entry way, but once he got here we decided against it, and had him do some of the projects described above. He adjusted to the change in plans without a problem.
Description of Work: We had a variety of handyman projects done: old light fixtures taken down, new light fixtures installed, a mirror attached to a triple dresser, a five foot tall decorative mirror installed in a recessed area in the stairway, sliding drawers installed in a kitchen cabinet, and the insides of a commode replaced.

The service went well. I had no problems with them. They just had some problems on who is going to do the care and modifications so another person was sent out to do the job. He was unaware at first on what it is all about but in the end, it worked out fine.

Frank called and arrived early, no problem. I showed him the pictures I wanted to be hung and also the materials I had in the house that he could use. (No one said I needed to provide the picture hangers; the last time the handyman brought them himself). Anyway, 2 out of the 4 pictures are hung too high and so I decide I would re-do today. When I went to take one picture that weighs approx 20 pounds off the wall, one of the nails that was holding it up fell out of the wall. Geez... I could have just put nails in the wall to hang these, I wanted them secure. Needless to say I am patching holes and will re-hang this myself. I have had good experiences and bad experiences with Handyman Matters. I don't believe I will call them again. For the price they charged me yesterday it was not worth the aggrevation.
Description of Work: I had 6 pictures that needed to be hung in my house. A couple were a little bit heavy so I didn't want to do it myself.

Easy project just too high over my head to reach.
Description of Work: Took down some heavy curtain rods and replaced a folding door in my fathers bedroom. I think there was other items but I cant remember at the moment - had other project going at the time. With fifteen minutes left on the clock he said he could install the folding door, but of coarse it went over and was charged the additional. That was the only bad experience.

The handyman took care when removing old stairs so that trim pieces were undamaged and could be used to install the new stairs. When he discovered that the stairs I purchased were the wrong size, he outlined options for solving the problem and the cost of each choice. At my request, he went to Lowe's to exchange the stairs for the correct size. He promptly called from Lowe's when he encountered a problem with the exchange and followed my preferred course of action. The job from start to finish, including the trip to Lowe's, took about 4 hours. Everyone, from the representative who answered the phone and scheduled the appointment to the handyman who preformed the work, was professional and efficient. I am extremely satisfied with Handyman Matters and will use their service again.
Description of Work: Handyman Matters removed existing pull down attic stairs in the garage and replaced them with a new set.

Walter Caraballo called me back and we discussed my needs in length. I had a special circumstance. I needed a handicap ramp for a travel trailer with limited space. He told me he had a couple of leads and wanted to make a few calls and would get back with me in a few days. He did. He found an aluminum ramp and sent me some comparison points to consider between aluminum and wood. We did not choose to go the aluminum route but appreciated his efforts to help us. Nice to talk to on the phone and I will contact him in the future.
Description of Work: I called getting estimates on building a ramp and deck.

I needed to have a security brace installed on the floor in front of an entryway. It is the kind that screws into the floor and because it required drilling through the concrete slab I decided to have a handyman do it rather than attempt it myself. Job went well from start to finish. Handyman Stephen arrived right on time and after a brief discussion, went right to work. The brace was installed correctly within a reasonable amount of time. I used an Angie's List coupon that waived the estimate fee, so all I paid for was the actual work; a very good deal.

Office staff seemed friendly and efficient. Estimate was promptly provided via email. Handyman arrived as scheduled. Job required 2 days. due to weather, he was rescheduled for the second day. He called when he arrived to let me know he was there. He took time to check out and address a window that had leaked during a recent storm. Will use again.

Overall, everything went well. When problems occurred, he was able to figure out solutions.
Description of Work: Installed 2 SAWS toilets and a small vanity with sink and faucets. Installed lights above it and replaced a few ceramic tiles on floor. Also added some quarter rounds. Regarding price, we did take advantage of the Angie's special of 4 hours for 175.00, so the price may not be as low normally. The handyman was always on time and respectful. I would use this company again.

The repairman was friendly and willing to help with anything we needed. He noticed that we had a pressure cooker and talked about growing up with his mother also using a pressure cooker. I mentioned that the lid was stuck and he offered to see if he could fix it, and he did!!! What great customer service!!

gutter repair, handyman service
  + 0 more
Ed McGinnis let me know that he was on his way, but would be a few minutes late. Ed said that the repair would be no problem and proceeded to fix the gutter despite having to work around trees and sometimes stand in a precarious position on the ladder. He even added a few extra nails to insure that the gutter would stay permanently attached, and also went along the length of the gutter hammering in any nails that were loose. I am very pleased with the repair and the price was exactly as quoted.
Description of Work: A gutter was falling away from my house on the second floor. I could not reach it from the roof and I don't link getting on a ladder that high. If not repaired the wind or rain could have completely bent it out of shape or knocked it down.

They said I needed to pick out the parts that I needed at a store and do the measurements myself. The kitchen is new, I just wanted to put in drawers in the pantry. I called for them to do the work for me and all they did is direct me back to a store! They apparently do not to cabinetry work like I thought they did.

We would be happy to help the member with installation the slide-out units in the pantry, but we do not offer design services. Our office tried to direct the member to stores and websites that do offer design services and would maximize use of the pantry space, but the member declined. Walter Caraballo Owner

When I called to get a quote for hanging curtains rods I spoke to a friendly employee. She explained about the flat hourly rate and how they do things. I appreciated this because it is a different process than with other providers I have used. There were convenient appointments available within two days. I received a call from the handyman the night before confirming our appointment, and a call the next morning that he would be able to arrive a little early. He was polite and got right to work. Curtain rods were all hung up and looked great! He was working quickly to get the whole job finished in one hour and made sure I was happy with the work. The service fee was waived with a coupon from Angie's List. I would use this company again.
Description of Work: Curtain rods installed in multiple rooms.

Our house was built in 1962 and we are slowly repairing years of neglect. Part of a gutter had fallen during the last rain storm. A portion of the wood base to a large side window had been destroyed by termites and parts of the wood trim around the sliding glass doors had fallen off. I e-mailed Handyman Matters asking for a quote on this and some other things needing to be done. They got back to me promptly and had a handyman out within a couple of days to give me an estimate. I was e- mailed the estimate the next morning. Once I decided what most needed repairing that was in my budget an appointment was set up for the end of the week. The handyman came on time, worked hard, finished everything to my satisfaction and even finished in less time than was estimated so I paid about 150.00 less than the estimate. He was courteous and professional. I will definitely be using this company again.
Description of Work: Removed and hauled away broken gutters, replaced termite damaged wood under side window, repaired and painted wood trim around sliding glass doors.

My mother had a appointment set for 10/1/2012, between 10-11am for someone to come out and give an estimate. I cleared my schedule so I could be there with her. The handyman did not arrive at the appointed time, so I called and was told that someone would call us back soon to give a new appointment time. We never received the call back. I wasted my entire day waiting on these people. We have moved on to another company.
Description of Work: My mother needs various repairs on her home. Bathroom repair, water heater replacement, flooring, and more. I signed up for Angie's list just to help her find someone professional and competent.

He showed up on time, was very polite and knew what he was doing. Very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: Removed damaged exterior siding and upper trim. Put insulation in wall, install black board insulation and then the siding. This was difficult because the siding edge had to slide under the existing siding that was not being replaced. He had to cut around the window and outside water faucet. He put up new trim around the window. Also caulked to ensure the area was waterproof.

Seriously this is a nightmare. Estimate was good. They sent the "handyman" who would be doing the work out to do the "estimate". A two day job took 6 weeks. Number one: you don't spray paint a 12x12 room! He used the wrong paint on the wrong surfaces, made a mess everywhere and the painting was HORRIBLE. Day four he spent in the room with the window open in 100+ degree weather on his computer trying to figure out how to install the crown moulding he said he knew how to do. He never did install it. To the owner's credit, he came out and saw the mess. Had two other employees correct the mess, replace a fan that was ruined, absorb the cost of some of the extra material including paint that was needed because of the first guys mistakes, but we still have two rugs with paint on them that WE will have to replace, windows and screens that may have to be replaced if they cannot be cleaned properly. We would never recommend this company and will never use them again.
Description of Work: The good thing is that the "job" was finished. O.K. I still have clean up to do on my own and need to replace items damaged. Work was shoddy, unprofessional to begin with. Not sure all the people who work for this company have the experience needed. I would never call them again even though they did finish the job. The two guys who corrected the mistakes of the first guy did fine and the owner did try to remedy the situation. The sad thing is that I think the guy that sent out at first is still working for the company.

Response from Ace Handyman Services San Antonio
My sincerest apology for the poor quality of the original work and the frustration that this caused. Until this project, the craftsman assigned had completed his work in a capable manner and with positive reviews from other Angie's List members. He has since moved on and is no longer with our company. I appreciate the member allowing us the opportunity to correct the original work. The crown trim was installed correctly. The room and all trim, was repainted correctly. The light-switch and cover, and plug covers were replaced. The AC vent cover was replaced. And, the ceiling fan and light were replaced. The member had shown me two area rugs that had some small spots of paint, one in the kitchen and one in the living area. They shared that they did not recall seeing our craftsman in these areas, and were unsure if the spots were from our craftsman or not. So, no additional action was taken by our company to correct these areas. Again, my apology to the member. Walter Caraballo Owner

I received a quick appointment estimate. I was given a list of what supplies that were needed, what to expect, the time frame, and the cost. Jerry, the repairman, was very professional and knowledgeable. He did a great job and I would definitely hire him again. The only problem was that there was supposed to be a helper with him to do the heavy lifting. I was able to assist him so he was able to complete the job. The price of the install was adjusted to reflect the actual labor cost.
