4 employees. Use subcontractors occasionally for masonry and carpet. Cost is determined by the job. Travel charges apply. Additional charge for after hours or emergency calls.
Called the service three times. Each time I was transferred to Voice Mail. I left a very concise message; I spelled out my name and gave the phone number twice (each call). "Husband for Hire" did not return my call which I believe is very rude. Each call, from me, provided what the problem was that I needed an experienced repair man to fix.
Description of Work: No service was performed due to "Husbands for Hire" never returning my initial phone calls.

In all the completed job was done in two days and is a professional looking improvement to my 60+ year house. HFH is also my handyman service provider of choice.
Description of Work: I have used Husband for Hire (HFH on several jobs. They installed a sliding patio doors onto a deck. They had to remove and reinstall aluminum siding around the door opening which took patience and great skill so as not to damage existing siding. Finished casing and molding including transitioning the hardwood floor to the door was great.

We didn't use Husband-for-Hire to install our gutters, but the decision was based on the superior materials offered by another company. Bob Masters, owner, was very knowledgeable and friendly. I plan to hire him for projects in the future.

This was the best BIG DEAL I have purchased so far. It was a pleasant experience from start to finish. I purchased four hours of handy man service for $148 (2 x two hours for $74). Done Right Handyman Services scheduled the appointment at my convenience within a week of purchasing the BIG DEAL. Kenny and Ray arrived promptly for the scheduled job and went right to work on my "to do" list. I was amazed at how many of the things on my list they were able to accomplish in the four hours. They cleaned up all the empty boxes and hauled off all the old fixtures I no longer wanted. Everything was done well and looks great. Kenny and Ray were polite, professional, and congenial. I would definitely use their services again and recommend them to others.
Description of Work: Installed a chandelier, a pot rack light, and a pendant light. Hung plantation blinds on four windows.

Work was never started! Very dissatisfied.
Description of Work: It's been over 30 days and I'm still waiting for an estimate on replacing 1 windows shutters. I requested an estimate for replacing a pair of shutters as well as replacing all the shutters (3 pairs) with a different color. He came to look at the job and said he'd call once he got info from his supplier. It didn't appear there would be a problem. If there was a problem, he should have had the courtesy to let me know! I requested him to contact me via phone. I'm beginning to start looking again, but I'll pay closer attention to others' comments. Definitely NOT "A HAPPY CAMPER"!!

They never called me back after several calls. I got a voicemail or answering machine every time. NO CALL BACK!
Description of Work: They never returned my calls... I needed my clothes dryer fixed because of a squeal and a treadmill fixed as it was dragging. I expressed on the messages that I left for them several times of what I needed done. Guess that was my mistake. If they couldn't do the work then call me and tell me so.

Absolutely terrible. DO NOT HIRE THIS HANDYMAN!!! He was quick to come over and evaluate what work needed to be done but then took weeks to actually get us the estimate despite multiple phone calls. Said he would call to set up a date to complete the work but never did. After a date was set to complete the work he never showed up and never called to say why he hadn't shown up. When he did finally arrive the following day his professionalism and quality of work were atrocious. He snaked all the bathroom drains and left huge puddles of dirty black water under the sinks and on the bathroom floors. He made no attempt to remove any items from under the sinks or tell us to remove them prior to removing some piping allowing dirty water to soak clean towels, toiletries, hairdryer, etc. He failed to reinstall some piping correctly which resulted in a persistent leak from one sink which was not discovered until hours later. When it got close to lunch time they decided to start skipping steps on certain things I wanted done. Instead of removing the old caulk and applying new exterior caulk they just put new caulk over the old brittle caulk. When I pointed out that the closet door hadn't been fixed by the glue they applied to the joint they brought in a nail gun and decided to just start nailing the front of the door, completely ruining the front. To top it all off they never even completed one of the tasks I hired them to do. Now I have to go find another handyman to finish the job. I hired this handyman to do a few small jobs around the house and save me time but it actually created more work for me with all the clean up I had to to. DO NOT HIRE THIS HANDYMAN!!!
Description of Work: Replace exterior light fixtures, replace electrical outlets in 2 rooms, secure loose stair railing, fix broken closet doors, snake bathroom drains, re-caulk areas of house exterior where old caulk has deteriorated, replace floor threshold where carpet meets tile floor.

They do the little things that I cannot do. They started with a list of Honey Do things and expanded it now to bigger projects. The bathroom was a big project because I live in a very old house and they had to scrape about three layers of paint off plaster walls. They did a good job. My only complaint was that they left a lot of drops of paint on my bathroom floor. I had to get the job done quickly since I had some company coming and they were able to come and do these things quickly for me. I am a retired school teacher and the owners were former students of mine. They gave me a senior discount even though I am not terribly old and I appreciate it. They were very cooperative.
Description of Work: I used Husband For Hire Inc last summer. They scraped my bathroom and painted it. They did my front door and fixed the window that holds the air-conditioner.

We didn't have enough ventilation, which caused mold problems. I liked him pretty well. I thought that he was honest and personable. We considered going with him, but the company we went with seemed like they could do more for us. The other company was a bigger operation. He is pretty much a one-man job. He does the work and his wife does the phone calls. He was very good with everything. He seemed to know what he was doing, and he answered all of my questions satisfactorily.
Description of Work: They gave an estimate for mold remediation. We had a mold problem in the attic over the garage and the attic over the house. We needed construction work done, including installing fire-resistant plywood on the walls and ceiling, an access door, gutters, and flashing.

I highly recommend Husband For Hire Inc. They came out to look at the job at the exact time they said they would. Gave me a quote in about a week, and completed the job in about four hours. The color of the siding matches perfectly and you can't tell it's not the original. I plan on using this company again in the future if I have a need.
Description of Work: Had Husband For Hire Inc replace the siding on one side of my garage that was melted due to me "accidentally" placing hot barbecue charcoal in my outdoor trash receptacle and having the container catch fire.

The person who showed up was not able to give me a quote when they showed up...they mailed my quote and I received it over a week after his visit. The price was nowhere near competitive with the other quotes I received and the phone manner when I called was not friendly or helpful.

I SEE THAT YOUR REPORT IS DATED IN JUNE 19. HOWEVER, THE WORK WAS PERFORMED ON FEB. 7. SO I AM A LITTLE CONFUSED. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, YOU HAVE NOT CONTACTED US REGARDING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE FENCING. I ASSURE YOU THAT WE RESPOND TO ANY AND ALL CALL BACKS. THE FENCE POSTS WERE POURED IN CONCRETE SO I'M NOT CERTAIN WHY THEY WOULD HAVE FALLEN UNLESS IT WAS DURING THE RECENT TORNADO THAT HIT OUR AREA. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE FENCING. IF IT HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED, I WOULD LIKE TO SEND SOMEONE TO INSPECT IT AND MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. I ASSURE YOU THAT WE STAND BEHIND OUR WORKMANSHIP 100%. IN REGARDS TO THE COST INVOLVED. YOU WERE GIVEN AN ESTIMATE PRIOR TO ANY WORK BEING PERFORMED AND WE UPHELD THAT ESTIMATE. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE SO THAT WE CAN RESOLVE THIS MATTER. SINCERELY, PENNY HARCUM, VP

Very pleased with overall experience with Husband for Hire and will certainly contact them again for more work.
Description of Work: I contacted Husband for Hire initially for some roofing work. Bobby came promptly to look at the work required and advised that my roof was too steep and he would find me someone to replace the missing shingles. This he did and I am happy with the result. I then asked Bobby to give me an estimate on replacing my kitchen faucet and removing an unused water treatment system. The written estimate arrived in a very reasonable time and an appointment made and the work accomplished. Workmen very pleasant and the job site was left in a neat clean manner.

We did not have the company do the work but they are great for coming out and giving estimates that are reasonable and competitive. We decided to postpone the work because we did a temporary fix while the holiday's are happening. We will look at this company when we actually have the duct work replaced. They are professional and responsive. We've had them do other jobs around our home and have been satisfied with their promptness, professionalism, and response time.

They came to the house and were able to provide the outside door estimate when I was not home. The door was unusually tall and was special ordered and this took some time. The door arrived scratched and the owner called and told me about it and had his crew bring it out for my inspection. We then decided to send it back. The second door arrived in good condition and a two man crew arrived for installation. Due to some interferences, the door took longer than expected to install. The installation crew was more interested in doing the job correctly and apologized for the length of time the job took. In the end, they did a good job at at a good price.
Husband For Hire does pretty much anything like carpentry, landscaping, plumbing and painting. I had hired a general contractor who turned out to be terrible. So I got rid of him and hired Husbands for Hire after finding them on the list. They are professional, very clean and thorough.
