Mr. Handyman of the Fredericksburg Region

Outstanding workmanship. 2 hours of work, expertly done and actually was slightly under the estimate. Very well done. Great folks. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

I spoke to Mr. Andrew ("Andy") Little on 4/26/19 re a non-structural foundation repair. With hesitation, I obliged w/ photos. He next was to talk to his "guy" whom he knew could do the job, and get back to me re a quote. On May 2, he had not gotten back to me, so I called again. Andy stated with perceived annoyance that his guys' schedules are usually booked out by a week or so. I reminded him that I was only looking for a job estimate, at this point. Finally, he said that the guy that he was SURE could do the job would be in the office for a staff meeting that morning, and he would discuss the matter, and get back to me. He never did. 6/5/19

Quote came in 2 days after I had someone else’s do the work.

He was professional, showed up when expected and did an exceptional job. Very pleased with results.

Al Stark, owner of Mr. Handyman (540.748-8622) of Fredericksburg, does a simply amazing job with home repairs. His team of 5 people has experience, expertise, and the work ethic of ‘Get-er done’! Mr. Handyman works on exterior and interior projects and quite honestly no job is either too big or too small. They show up on time, only do the work you want, are fair and reasonable with their price, and very trustworthy. He maintains a class ‘A’ license and holds a FANTASTIC reputation with his community, customers and workforce. When I moved to Alexandria, I inquired if I could hire his team up here, but his franchise boundaries do not permit this – otherwise, I would do it in a heart-beat! Quite honestly, he is the BEST and his team are AWESOME! Multiple contracts...

The company canceled their appointment for an estimate with little notice after I took time off from work and would not agree to meet at other than times that were most favorable for them.

Made several attempts to contact this company, left messages and spoke to an operator, still waiting for someone to contact me regarding the work I would like to have them perform. This does not inspire much confidence, or good customer service with these folks. Cannot comment on there work good or bad. Hope you have better luck than I did just getting them to call you back. The state of customer service today. Time to move on!!

Went well but I thought the $240 for 3 hours was a little excessive but my Mother who was at the house at the time said the gentleman did work the entire time and that he had to take down several downspouts to clear them. We have used this company several times since I am not in the area to maintain myself and I have been very pleased with the work.

I purchased an all-in-one at a local hardware store. It included the cabinet and counter with built in sink. After a phone call and two emails, someone got in touch with me. Once contact was made communication was much better. Job was described through email and pictures. Once handyman arrived the job was more involved than originally thought, so the job was not done. Seems like they would have asked for more pictures to better access plumbing situation. Wish some front end work was done such as looking at the new cabinet with drawer and shelf BEFORE taking out old cabinet....as plumbing situation was visible. The handyman was at our home for two hours, which wasn't necessary if plumbing had been checked first. The handyman was very nice and did draw what type of cabinet we needed to work around the plumbing, however when our contractor came out for a larger project and I asked his advice on what to do, he said it was an easy fix for the plumbing was to use Sharkbites ( found at Lowe's and Home Depot). Why didn't the handyman know this???

Mr Andy was great to work w/ & provided a timely estimate as well as work scheduling. Cost was competitive, and quality of work was excellent. Had some minor miscommunication on technician arriving at residence & performing work. I'll label as shared responsibility. I would certainly recommend them for a variety of maint & repair reqmts.

Very well. Mr. Handyman was punctual, professional, and completed the work as stated. They were good about working around schedule conflicts. The pricing was reasonable.

We have used Mr Handyman for several small jobs in the past that went well. This is the second bathroom that Steve has repaired and painted for us. He did a great job again! He is meticulous with the painting and cleans up everything when finished unlike painters we have used in the past.

First time it didn't work and more water coming in. I call again and the fix it after two days.

We called Handyman services to come in and complete our bathroom renovation when we hired a subpar contractor. They were able to make recommendations to the project and fix issues that were left by the other contractor. They did a remarkable job in every aspect of the project. I would recommend them to anyone and will use them again in the future.

Punctual and professional---we have used Handyman for two other services and have always been pleased. Highly recommended.

Everything went wonderfully. 100% honesty here. I was a little frustrated in the beginning because it felt like jumping thru hoops just to get someone to come out and provide an estimate. However, with that said, I'm very glad we stuck with this company. The owner himself is the one that comes out and does the estimate. I'm not new to the construction industry, so I knew what needed to be done (being pregnant I didn't want to do it myself). The owner was extremely knowledgable and professional. We had, had two other companies come out to look at the same project and Mr. Handyman was by far the most qualified. He knew exactly what he was talking about, which was refreshing to hear. He was honest about the process and cost, he didn't seem to want to take us for all of our money, but wanted to do a quality job. The job took two days. The gentleman that came out was very professional and patient with my annoying barking dogs (thank you. I know they were annoying!) The storm door project was completed same day, and the French doors took a day and a half, but it all looks amazing. A very professional and competent company. They have reasonable prices. I would and will be hiring them again for other projects along with recommending them to anyone and everyone that needs a handyman. Pictures are attached. The only thing left to do is paint the French doors and the walls where the spackle is... Honestly, I'll probably hire them again to do that too!

Right on schedule and slightly under estimate.

Overall; excellent. Final results and professionalism of workers weighs more heavily with me. The issues/concerns: 1. Work was initially scheduled for 5 June. The company had concerns about the weather due to the forecast. However, I didn't find this out until I called them when they didn't show up at the estimated time. We discussed the fact that they were watching the weather and would make a decision. This I understand. However, I was not notified about the delay nor the final decision to not show up. I didn't give a bad grade on punctuality as it was a responsiveness (communication) failure, to me, and less a punctuality factor. When the gentleman, I cannot remember his name, hereafter referred to as "the guy" or "he," showed up the following day, again not communicated to me that he would, it was early enough to get the job done in the same day. 2. When the work was completed, the guy left. He left the few items that were in the shed out. Left the shed open. Left the bagged debris and scrap wood in the yard, but stacked on the edge of the yard. Left a power cord. He didn't say anything before leaving. I put the items back in the shed, closed the door, wound up the cord (need to get this back to them) and got the bagged debris and scrap wood on to the driveway and out of the yard. I was planning to haul it up to the road on Wednesday afternoon; trash day. When I returned home on Wednesday, all the trash and scrap wood is gone. I can only assume that he came back and picked it all up. No one in my family did anything with it. 3. I was concerned about the hourly labor rate. Obviously not enough to not hire the company, but it seemed steep Bottom line though, it was much cheaper than getting a new shed. The good: 1. The work quality was great. All that I wanted done was completed. Most important factor. 2. The guy doing the work was very polite and friendly. These two factors alone determine whether or not I will work with a company again. The other stuff, although they were written with more detail, can be cleared up in any future efforts.

He was good. I have a general electric microwave. I had GE repairman out and they were going to replace it for like $2000. The repairman wanted to charge me $500 dollars. That was ripping me off. So I went to call Angie's list and they did it for 3 and a quarter. I was about to replace it and I haven't had any problems with it since. I hope it last another year. They completed the service the same day.

This is the second major project that Mr. Handyman has done for me. I wanted a replacement vent made of a material stronger than the original. Mr. Handyman special ordered the vent and installed it on the first work day after it arrived from the distributor. I was not home when the work was done. I see this as a plus because I didn't have to lose a day of work. The appearance of the replacement vent looks professionally installed and not a "homeowner DIY" project. This is important to me because some day I will sell this house and don't want anything to detract from the structure and possible lower the sales price. The final price was slightly less than the estimate. The final price may seem high to some, but remember I didn't use a standard vent, but had a higher quality vent installed. I am pleased with the work and the price.

Both times the technicians arrived on time, and were very professional and courteous. The work was performed in a timely manner and was of excellent quality. I will be hiring Mr Handyman of Fredericksburg for more projects in the future .

Very professional and very pleased with their work. Would hire again

I was very happy with the work. Michael did an excellent job fixing the siding, and was very friendly and professional. I would certainly recommend Mr Handyman

No show, didn't call me that he would be late. Tried to call the office and got the answering service. No one called back. Left after 25 minutes of waiting. What a waste of my time. I have noticed that I get an answering service when I call their business line at least 50% of the time. Will be looking for a new handyman for my 4 houses for the next 20 years worth of work.

Had an unexpected trip out of town so I couldn't schedule the work. Will try again in a few weeks
