Work was done very professionally. Technician was very courteous and polite. I asked him to observe other necessary repairs - he noted nothing other than what I had already observed and did not appear to try "selling" me on any unnecessary services. My only complaint was that I requested a quote for a few follow-up projects but never received that quote. Nevertheless, given the quality of the work - I will use this provider again.

Matched and installed a deadbolt for an exterior door. I was slightly disappointed that the deadbolt was something i could have purchased at the local DIY store but it works fine and the installation was professionally done.

I've used them several times, and they work with you, they are always there when I need them and they do very good work. And if they don't do good work, they'll come back and they'll fix it, no questions asked.I've got to also buy my own materials. All the other places, they bring the material and they have a mark-up on it. There's no other place that I know of, I just had some work done by Monty and I think there were parts that had to be replaced or rebuilt and they set it up for me but I paid for it, and it saved me pretty close to 50% if not more. Because I needed some sections of the kickpanels of the door, they were scuffed up and I wanted it painted and you have to have a plastic paint for that. They called NAPA and they gave my name, told me to give them a call, said I'll pay for it, etc. They told me it would cost me $140 some odd dollars for the paint, for two cans. And I paid NAPA $25. That's the mark-up. Just for the sake of we need this part to fix it. So that's what Mr. Handyman allows me to do, I will supply the materials and you supply the labour, you know what I mean? So I am very happy with them, very happy. As a matter of fact I had a little bit of plumbing work done with them, they came in gave me an estimate. And I said "You tell me exactly what you need, I will go and get it for you", and they couldn't find a corresponding number for it, they said we'll go down, we'll get it for you and we won't give you the mark-up. We'll give you the receipt for it - which was nice of them. It's a franchise, but the one here, I like. The other ones, I don't know. The one I dealt with, I am extremely happy. You call them, they talk to you, they'll take all the time that you need on the phone, in front of you, whatever. I like the workmanship that they do, and if they screw up at all they come back and they fix it. They put in a basement window for me. I had other people come in, where I was going to buy it from them. They came in and were going to charge me a minimum charge of $450, and of course you get all the excuses like "Oh we have to pay them for minimum four hours work" etc. etc. These guys? They came in and they did it in an hour and they charged me an hour of labour and I supplied the parts.
Description of Work: I had some work done in 2011 by them - plumbing work. I had a basement window put in last year, 2012.

I went with this company due to what I seemed to be a fair price based on the estimate given by the installer. The actual installer and customer service representative on the phone were very easy to work with and pleasent. We missed the original install date but rescheduling was not a major issue. The installation went smoothly and the installer was very careful not to make a mess. I did experience a leak in the faucet line, which I discovered the next morning but was able to get someone out the next day to fix the leak. My concern with this project comes with the final price as compared to the original estimate. When I received the original estimate of $350, the installer said it would be a $300 project. He put a $50 cushion on the estimate in case he ran into any issues. I was not advised of any major issues with the installation or other that would have increased my bill from the original estimate. In the end, the final bill was $599 or almost double the original estimate. Per the installer, since there was such a large discrepancy, I contacted the company to discuss the final bill in light of the scheduling issues and eventual leak I had experienced. I was very flexible to work with their schedule. After the missed original installation date, I took a day off of work to meet their schedule. I received a response from the owner that I consider rude and in my opinion, unprofessional. I was accused of "using Angie's list as a pawn to get money off for a (possitive) review," which in no way was my intent. I take great responsibility in writing these reviews as I rely on other customer reviews to help make my service provider decisions. I was offered a $50 off coupon and was told I would either be taken out of their system or 'highlighted in red' for future services. I asked they remove me from their "system." Final opinion, I am satisfied with the work performed but dissatisfied with the discrepancy between the original estimate and final bill. I should have been advised during the installation if the final bill was not going to be consistent with the estimate. Customer service was mixed.

If you need a professional company to help you with repairs this is the company you should call. I cannot thank them enough for helping me out with an emergency repair I needed today due to damaged caused by one of my tenants. Mr. Handyman went out of their way to come all the way to Shorewood and fix the doors that were broken and caused a security problem. This is a fantastic provider and I know you will be happy with the service they provide to you too. This business is owend by Marty and he and his wonderful office staff found a way to help me on such short notice which I appreciated and Chad, their technician, did a fantastic job

We found them on Angie's List. They were very professional. They responded quickly and they also followed up with quotes fast as well. Overall, they were very nice people. One thing they did was instead of doing everything, they even gave us options so that we could fix it ourselves if we didn’t want to pay them to help save us money as well, so they were very accommodating. I would definitely call them again if we need to do stuff around the house.

We are Sorry to hear you feel this way, we did send out a Tech and made sure the job was to the customers satisfaction, the work was done on July 20th, 2011, I wish we could have talked at the time and made sure the customer was totally satisfied, to have this arise now is quite a bit after the fact, but with this said we do feel bad that the customer feels this way and do send our Sincere Apology for the situation. Sincerely Mr. Handyman

His service is fine but the cost is way too high for the work done.
Description of Work: I have used him a couple of years now. He has helped me put up indoor and outdoor decorations. More recently, he hung two reefs. One was an artificial reef that he purchased.
It went well. They're always easy to reach and they can get things scheduled and done quickly. They can also buy and pickup all materials so I wasn't having to do any running around myself.

Because they charged me a $50 trip charge and never disclosed that this would be part of the costs, I feel like they deceived me. I would not hire them to come back because of this.
Description of Work: I purchased 2 hours of time for a handyman to come and fix some odds & ends at my house. He did fix the items that I requested, however I am still have problems with an area that he said he fixed by caulking. He did not spend the full 2 hours at my house and then they also charged me a $50 trip charge!! This was never revealed to me that this would be added on top of the cost that I had already paid for the 2 hours service. Did not feel like this was worth the amount that I paid.

Super friendly and professional on the phone and in person. Did the jobs quickly (did not milk the hourly rate). Keep in mind that if they have to get parts or supplies that you don't provide or tell them that they'll need to bring (they do inform you of this when you set up your appointment) that the time to go get things is billable. When I have another list of stuff to get done, I will definitely call them again!

The work was done quickly and well; the only issue was the complexity due to the number of switches turning on a light. The handyman needed additional help and added some time to the project. It turned out good, but was more difficult to estimate total cost.

Overall it went OK and the end product was fine. The workman, however, broke the vanity basin that he was installing by applying too much torque before the basin was properly set. The basin broke and flying porcelain hit the workman in the head, causing significant bleeding. Stuff happens, and the workman was apologetic (and the cut wasn't as bad as it appeared). He also indicated that he had several other mishaps in the course of his handyman work (fell in a hole while carrying a big door, acorn junk in his eye while cleaning a gutter, etc.). In any event, they readily replaced the basin within a couple of days and came and fixed and finalized everything to our satisfaction.

I thought the trip charge was a little high. He came to do a standard plumbing job which he knew in advance. You would think he had standard plumbing supplies in his truck, but no he left again to pick up parts at a store which is 4 miles down the road and returned 1 hour later charging me 88 dollars for the trip. while doing the job he spilled glue on the floor which stained it and never came off. I would never recommend them to any one in the future.

We hired Mr. Handyman to install doors in December of last year. Quality and price were good, however punctuality was not. We were the first job of the morning, and he was an hour late. The poor grades are a result of them never following up on a larger job we had called on. After a positive experience with the doors, we called for an estimate to remodel a bathroom and convert a room into a 1st floor laundry. We never received a call back, called a 2nd time, and were told they forgot. We do not recommend them since there was zero follow through.

Initially we were satisfied with the work. We ran into the problems with the most recent work. They sand blasted the fireplace hearth without a hepa-filter. That left fine dust all over the house. My husband is on oxygen and the dust caused serious breathing problems. I have contacted the owner Marty and have spoken to him multiple times. He is unwilling to take responsibility and said that I should have told the worker to stop once I saw the dust. He hung up on me and refuses to talk to me further. I had to hire another company to clean the dust and that cost me $500. All Marty offered was $300 of free service from them, but I never want them in my home again.
Description of Work: I hired them to complete multiple projects including window cleaning, gutter cleaning, lock replacement, curtain rod installation and other repairs. Most recently I hired them to clean the flooring on a stoop and to clean the fireplace hearth.

Response from Mr Handyman of Waukesha & North Milwaukee County
On 8/14/2012, Mr. Handyman of Waukesha went to the member’s home. The customer stated 8/15/2012. Her stories change each time you talk to her. My Handyman of Waukesha had 2 service Technicians doing separate jobs for the member’s on the 8/14/2012. Chris was working on Window shades and making her Valences. Butch was working on Front Stoop cleaning, cabinet doors and fireplace hearth. Complaint states billowing dust, Butch put plastic up to keep dust to a minimum. I asked my techs about the billowing dust. I was told by both of them that there was not much dust because of the protection that was put up. If the customer saw this billowing dust cloud and her husband is on oxygen, don’t you think she would have said something right then? On the 15th of August 2012, Chris install the valences, it took him about ½ an hour to do it. At that time still no work of Billowing dust clouds. On the 16th we got a call from the member, the member raves about the nice job both Techs did that day. She said that one of the valences was not holding and that Chris comes back and fixes it. On the 17th of August 2012, Chris returned to the member home to repair valences and at the time the tech phoned in that a cleaning service was in there cleaning. Still nothing was said to us about a mess. On Monday the 20th of August, A message from my answering service over the weekend to call the member. I called the member from my office. She wanted me to pay for her cleaning bill. She said that there was a big mess and had to call a service to clean. I told her that I was not a wear of any problems. Then she went on and on about everything Service Pro had to clean. The member had ample time to call us if there was a problem. She gave us no opportunity to see them. I did not think there was a problem. I did raise my voice to get her to stop talking and try to resolve this problem. I have never yelled at my employees, why would I yell at a customer? I have very high rating with BBB, Super Star award winner for the last 3 years Angies List. AT no time did I call her a name. The member called the home office. Her story there was different from the story she told us. She wanted the home office to pull my franchise agreement with them. The member called my office on the 20th and answering service 35 times from 3:37-11:00PM. Every time she calls I’m charged by my answering service. The home office offered her a credit for $300 of work. She turned it down. I will not offer her anything. There will be no apology. She signed our work order to start the job and signed when it was completed to her satisfaction. Sincerely Marty Putz Owner Mr. Handyman of Waukesha/Milwaukee.

Mark came to do the estimate and he was also the one who did the job. His performance was above and beyond the call of duty as he had to work in full sun on one of the hottest days of the summer. He was on time and he completed the job in the time he thought it would take. He was extremely professional. I also spoke with Debbie in the office numerous times and she, too, was great to work with. She was on vacation when I thought we'd have the bill so I called the office and Marty, the owner, took the call. It was a pleasure to deal with him also. I can only give Mr. Handman high praise! Thanks to Angie's List for helping me to find them. We will certainly call them again when we have jobs like that to be done. Our original handyman retired so we were at a loss for a time but Mr. Handyman appeared at the right time. Thank you to Marty, Debbie and especially Mark who worked so hard in the heat!
Description of Work: Mark built a 4-mailbox cluster on our lot. We wanted the cluster moved to a drier spot because of water in the swail all the time. He had to dig new holes and build the cluster stand from scratch. We provided him with the specifications for our subdivision.

Chris arrived about 5 minutes early and I had two lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling in the garage and wanted them replaced with ceiling fans. Chris put the ceiling fans together and installed them, he even programmed the remote control so that both ceiling fans run from the same remote. He was kind enough to look at my garage door opener that was giving me some trouble. He even shared with me a product that he uses to repair cracks in drywall. He was very nice, and took the time to look and fix a couple of smaller items. He took about 2 1/2 hours to complete the job, and cleaned up everything completely. I have called the company to have additional work completed.

Description of Work: Repaired a portion of the wood soffit on exterior of our home that had rotted out. After fitting a new piece of wood to repair the damage, the workman made a trip to a paint store to match the stain of the rest of the house siding. It was a perfect match.The workman also rehung a large bathroom mirror for us.

Response from Mr Handyman of Waukesha & North Milwaukee County
We did the job and the customer was happy at the time of service the promotion was for a certain amount of hours which the customer did not meet, also a service charge is always charged on jobs unless we have set up special terms with the customer, we have worked there before and they were charged a service charge then also ( 1 year earlier). They never let us know they were unhappy with our work, or terms.
He completed his job in a couple days with the two areas we had agreed upon. He was up front and honest with everything and the price was what it should be, with no added charges. When he came over he noticed that our screen door gets stuck in the "open" position, which had been a problem since we moved in, but wasn't as high of an item on our to do list. He had an extra part for the door and fixed that in a couple minutes no extra charge. Very helpful answering questions. I would contact this company in the future and recommend their services to anyone looking for quality work done.
Description of Work: Replace tiling and regrout areas of the kitchen and fixed damage to the soffit area on the roof.
