Our 125-year-old front porch and 25-year-old stoop needed major repairs and replacement. My brother had recommended this company and I'm glad he did. It took a couple of weeks to get an appointment but once he showed up, the carpenter was competent, efficient and industrious. He was also a pleasant fellow, easy to talk to about the details. As usual in such jobs, we kept finding more stuff that needed attention, so he stayed with it, always checking with me to see how far I wanted to go and what I wanted to see at completion, adding little details to improve completed job. His boss showed up to keep himself in the loop. As I write this review there is still a bit of work to finish but I have no doubt it too will be a good job, well done.Services: General construction, Remodeling

Hired them to rip out and dispose of old carpet. Had to remove pad and wooden supports that had been nailed to floor. Had to move furniture. Nothing damaged! Took 2 hours, cleaned up. Would hire again for this type of job.

The owner of this franchise had occasion to demonstrate his commitment to customer service, to quality work and to holding its employees to a high standard. He met that responsibility and technician Isaac’s work met that standard with pride. Admin staff returned calls and was clear and efficient in my dealings with her. The company uses a scheduling app that alerts you to the scheduled worker’s whereabouts without having to ask for arrival-time call ahead. All in all, a good experience.Services: Tile work replacement, Flooring repair, Drywall installation

Jeremiah was efficient and polite. We were a bit surprised that we asked for a plumber but for one of the jobs he told us that “you need a licensed plumber” - we thought he was a licensed plumber. Also the price seemed a bit high for what he did.

These guys are the best. Like most of us I have a bunch of jobs around the house, some I lack the skill for and others I'm too lazy to do myself. These guys come prepared with a variety of skills. They are courteous, professional, and trustworthy. Everything is very transparent. They tell you upfront what the expected costs are...and they stick to it. They make decisions with you and for you.Gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing I can call on them for so many tasks.Great!! Happy to recommend them.Service: Home maintenance & repairs

Jeremiah came out to look at work projects on my long list. Charlene was great with scheduling (and rescheduling) appointments. Paul is great. He has been out multiple times, very knowledgeable, respectful of property, patient (4 runs to the paint store) - he made sure I was happy with everything from paint color to height of towel racks. He is on time and if he has to run out for materials and says he will be back in 20 minutes - he is back in 20 minutes. I am very happy with his work and have utilized this business several times.Services: Home maintenance & repairs, General repairs, Interior painting, Electrical work

Tom came out to look at a leak in my roof. I was impressed and reassured with his knowledge of the subject. I appreciated him finding an affordable solution to my issue as well as providing me with an overall inspection of the roof condition. He provided me with pictures of everything he saw and recommendations for my roof’s longevity.

The Plummer I was sent from Mr. Handyman is named Isaiah. He was polite, respectful of my property and did an excellent analysis of the job that needed to be completed. The end result was highly satisfactory. I would recommend him and Mr. Handyman as professional, responsive, plus offering good quality and good value.Service: Plumbing fixture installation

Mr. Handyman was hired to repair our porch. The quote was in the range of others and they said it would be done in one day so we agreed to have them do the job.Day 1 was the day before Thanksgiving and the worker comes to the house to start the work. He started to pull the porch apart, but it was “more difficult than expected” so he’d have to come back after Thanksgiving – guests will have to enter through the backdoor. We also paid what was owed for the days’ work.They come back for Day 2 the following Wednesday, after we called them to find out when they were returning. They finish deconstructing the porch, do a little bit of rebuild to the sub-structure, but again don’t finish. They also say it’s going to cost more than the original estimate and so I asked for an itemized receipt because I provided them with all surface materials and wanted to see what they were charging us for – I never received that itemized receipt. I instead get a receipt that has totals (not itemized) for labor and materials.Day 3 happens, and they finally “finish”. As we inspect the porch, we see obvious and very crooked cuts, enormous gaps that were filled with gobs of sloppy caulk, and the left-side porch column is now crooked and hanging over the edge of the porch. When questioned, the worker made excuses and said we can talk to the owner. When asked about a particular area, we were told that WE can sand that down and paint it ourselves.We finally get the owner to come out and look at it and he agrees that work is sub-standard. He has his most-experienced worker draw up plans to fix the poor work.It is now January, and we finally get the owner back on the phone to find out when he intends to fix the sub-standard work. He says that he won’t come back unless we pay in full, before any additional work is done. I ask what my guarantee is that it will be done satisfactorily when it wasn’t done so the first time. I also offer to give him half of the remaining balance up front and half upon completion. He says he doesn’t trust that we will pay, which is ironic. So, we have a sloppy porch courtesy of Mr. Handyman, who’s work I will have to fix myself.The time frame and cost were not close to the original quote. They constantly tried to speak to us as if we had no idea what we were talking about. For example, they talked about why it’s hard to make precise cuts (meaning 90-degrees – that’s right, he couldn’t cut at a right angle) in different types of materials and that the column was crooked because the “house settles” – it’s 98-years old, it didn’t settle this week! And when pressed to fix the work and stand behind it, the owner felt it would be best to part ways. So, whatever “warranty” they offer is apparently void if you disagree with them.Needless to say, I cannot possibly recommend this company. If you have expectations about quality work, you should FIND ANOTHER CONTRACTOR. If they have quality craftsman, they didn’t work on our job.Services: Home maintenance & repairs, Deck repair

Paul did a fabulous job painting our front door. Also he and Jeremiah, went above and beyond when we found that the wrong door handle had been sent with our screen door. Highly recommend them and will be using them for future work.Services: Painting, General repairs

The technicians removed debris off my roof. The debris sat quite a while which resulted in three trees growing out of said debris. So, it was more than just brushing off my roof. I was happy with the results and the price the techs charged. I absolutely will be calling for other work I need done in the near future!Service: General repairs

He was ontime, courteous and knowledgeable. Also Available. Replaced weather stripping on exterior door, and showed me how to replace weatherstripping easily on the storm door.Hope to use him again for other projects.Cost seemed comparable to others. There is a $60 additional charge on top of hourly charge for the first day of a projectService: General repairs

Jeremiah was very quick in getting a service call setup. Too many companies either don’t call you back or call very late, not so here. The roof repairs were complete the next week and for a very reasonable price. I have already recommended this company to a friend.Service: General repairs

I highly recommend Jeremiah and his workers. I had a problem with a window that wouldn't function, he came the same day and solved the problem plus fixed another window that had issues. Great experience. If you have home projects you can't do or have time these are the people to call.

Needed help with a storm door. Two storm door companies didn't respond. Mr. Handyman (once I got to the franchiser who handles my area) was responsive and even contacted me 2 days before scheduled appointment when an earlier opportunity opened up. Paul was there right on time and solved the issue in 30 minutes. I am really pleased with the service.

We had a small, but tricky, carpentry problem. Clay made the repair perfectly. We feel fortunate to have found this company and have already made a list of future projects for them.

Thank God for Mr Handyman. We have a long honey do list of both simple and more complicated things. They do it all. Without them we wouldn’t get anything done. It was impossible to find anyone until we found Mr Handyman! They have been great! Maybe on the pricier side. But worth it. It’s pay a little bit more and get it done and get it done right, or don’t get it done and then be miserable about it. Call them today! You won’t regret it!Services: TV mounting, Repair water fixtures, Home maintenance & repairs, Plumbing fixture installation

After waiting 2 weeks for an estimate/appointment that requires a $60 payment Charles made the decision to cancel my appointment because I didn't send him pictures of a improper window installation ahead of time. Although I have to pay $60 for the appointment/estimate. What was I supposed to send a picture of my blinds moving as the wind blew. They advertise no job was too small however this situation proves that's false.

While most contractors never answered or returned a phone call, Mr. Handyman picked right up, took all info, and I got a follow up call within hours from a handyman. Came out within 2 days, sized it up, and offered me the option of either assisting him or getting a 2nd handyman (which would be twice the cost). Gladly helped Handyman Ed Villecco get the job done right. Thanks Ed.Service: General repairs
