The carpenter that Handyman sent, after surveying my bathroom renovation, had to "decide" (and yes he used that word) if he wanted to do the project. Which was to install tile, float the walls and maybe build a small cabinet. Ok, I know the labor climate in Austin is pretty tight right now, even day laborers are getting picky, and I can accept the fact that he had to "decide" to do the project. But I never received a phone call back as to his "decision" from him or Handyman. Since I'm using Angie's List and Handyman did rank on top, I would expect at least a follow up phone call from the carpenter or maybe someone from Handyman to recommend someone else, but that didn't happen. As for my experience with Handyman, I rank them a 0 since the only thing they really do is provide a liaison service between the worker and the customer. They couldn't even do that well. I felt I was written off, and heck, since there's so much work in Austin, they both don't care. So I'm doing the job myself.
Description of Work: I needed a bathroom updated.

Response from Handyman Connection of Austin-Westlake
AT THE VERY BEGINNING MEETING WITH THE HUSBAND, HE COMPLAINED ABOUT A MINOR PLUMBING JOB THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAD DONE AND HOW HE REFUSED TO PAY THAT COMPANY FOR WORK THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE. THAT COMPANY WALKED OFF THE JOB WITHOUT ANY PAYMENT. AT HANDYMAN CONNECTION, EVERY CRAFTSMAN HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF DECIDING WHETHER THEY WILL TAKE A JOB BASED ON THEIR EXPERIENCE AFTER MEETING WITH A CUSTOMER.

My phone call was promptly returned by the front office. The services were explained and my questions were answered in a friendly manner. I was given a ballpark figure on what I could expect to be charged for the work I needed done. An appointment was scheduled for the serviceman to give an actual estimate and complete the work if the estimate met with my approval. Gary Evans arrived at my home on schedule to look at the job. After conferring with the office, he gave me a high to low bid and completed the tasks that same day. He was very good at communicating to me (example: what he was doing, why he was doing it, etc). He was pleasant to work with and gave me advice on other projects that I had planned in the future. I was very pleased with this company from a service and a professional perspective.
Description of Work: A ceiling fan and light fixture were installed on high ceilings. A gate that had come off its hinges was repaired.

Gary W. Evans, the independent contractor who came out to give estimate, was prompt and courteous. He was also highly knowledgeable and gave us other options that previous companies did not provide. We were pleased that he could install the metal roof. He and his assistant were precise and the result was topnotch. They cleaned up and took away all debris. We have already referred a friend to Gary Evans and the company.
Description of Work: Installed a metal patio/deck cover with gutter and downspout, replaced deck handrails and posts in concrete, repaired rotten wood on back door, added new door sweep and weatherstrip, installed new drywall in den, taped, floated, textured.

Handyman showed up on time on a Friday to look at work and give an estimate. Gave alternatives for saving money on the projects. We agreed on the work to be performed. Handyman showed up on time on Thursday and completed the projects. Very pleasant to deal with and the work looks great. I will use again! Very satisfied customer.

Excellent. This company really has a great team. They give you thoughtful estimate and no surprises when you get the final invoice. They fully explain the job and how they will proceed so you, the homeowner, are knowledgable and not surprised.
Description of Work: We telephoned Handyman Connection after reading their other positive referrals on this site. It was better than we could have expected. They sent a real craftsman -- Mike McCarthy -- who assembled three very elaborate, fancy fans (one exterior wet fan), three light kits and three remote setups and mounted same. Mr McCarthy did an excellent job. He was sensitive to replacement of existing lights and installing the fans, making sure the new lined up satisfactorily with the old, was very patient in the extensive assembly required and all-in-all did one great job. Additionally, he is a pleasant person, moved furniture and obstacles, was careful to reposition same when he was done and did a real good job of clean up. For those with lots of breakables or precious ods and ends, Mr McCarthy is just the right craftsman to do your work. Further, he installed and painted a much needed shelf. Again, neat and tidy and sensitive to keeping the place clean as he worked. Quality craftsmanship.

The handyman, Gary Evans, arrived right on time and had the whole job finished in under an hour and a half. He didn't leave a message, and took care of everything including wiring the fan and light correctly to the double switch that was already installed on the wall. In fact, while he was there he even noticed that our guest bathroom door didn't latch, and fixed it by moving the striker plate! Best of all, this came in at the low end of the estimate we were given! We're very happy with the work, and will definitely call for Gary again!
Description of Work: When we removed an overhead light fixture in a spare bedroom to install a ceiling fan we had purchased, we discovered there was no electrical box or support - nothing to hang the fan from! We called Handyman Connection to get a brace and junction box installed, and to put in the fan. The dispatcher/receptionist, Jeannine, informed us right away that the guy who works in our area had a busy schedule until the following week, so we settled on a time that worked for both of us on that initial call.

I want to continue using Mr. Evans and he said that would be possible through the Handyman Connection. They assume that I like him, unless I say otherwise. He does a number of different types of work. BTW, the operator at Handyman Connection was also very efficient and friendly. Kudos!
Description of Work: Hinge on door from living room to outside patio was no longer tight enough for the door to close properly. Wood had dried out, etc. Longer screws did not work. Handyman sent Gary Evans, who said that he could either (a) try a patch-up job for about $50 and he could not guarantee it would work, or (b) a new door would have to be installed: he quoted me the price for that. I opted to try the patch-up job and he performed the fix with no problem. I am completely satisfied with the repair and hope it will last. His knowledge of the problem was obvious to me and he worked very efficiently & honestly.

I have used Handyman Connection for several jobs. Except for two jobs that required licensed electricians, all of my experience has been with Jim Ferguson. Jim seems to be a "master of all trades." As usual, he quickly sized up the jobs, arrived punctually, and got the work done quickly and well.
Description of Work: Removed a through-the-wall air conditioner and installed a glass-block window (approx. 24' x 32') in its place. Installation of the glass-block window included framing, setting the glass block, insulating around the framing, and applying exterior and interior mouldings to match the mouldings used elsewhere in the house. (The price given above is only for labor; materials were extra.)
