Great, weather delayed it a few weeks from original timeline but once he was able to get in and complete the work it was great.

They started off on a bad foot because the day they started all they did was put paper and plastic on the floor and carpet and doors.  Then they returned 2 days later to start the work.  Several other times they did not show up for work, but did not let us know in advance or why there was a problem.  The night (Sunday) before they were to start grouting we got a call as to what color they were to use.  All this had been supplied to them in writing.  Obviously the grout had not even been purchased.  The next morning my husband was had to go get the grout. 

Grout does not look good - not do to the selection.  I think it was not mixed well so it is darker in some places and lighter in others.  There are a couple of placed on the floor which more grout or something.  Also, some of the grout lines are wider than others.

I think the owner of this business is a nice guy, but this job was out of their skill level.  We should have talked to people that all they did is ceramic tile.  Because of this job, I would not hire them again or recommend them.  They should not have accepted this job.

I have a rental unit in Athens, AL and the ceiling fan in the front bedroom, along with the junction box, was slipping through the ceiling as it had not been connected to a joist. I called Mike, the owner, and told him what was going on and instead of waiting a week or two he offered to pull off a crew and get the fan fixed the next morning. The crew was in and out in an hour, di a wonderful job, cleaned up after themselves and were very polite and knowledgeable. Athens Handyman Services are my new and quot;go toand quot; repairmen.

Mike came exactly when he said he would and did a prompt estimate. All of the work was done on time and done well, and the work areas were left neat and clean. Mike communicated very well throughout the project.

We have used this service several times for various repairs, from fence repair to electrical work and have been satisfied with their quality of work and prompt reply.

Mr. Littrell responded to my initial call promptly. Came out to access the job and give me an estimate for the work to be performed.

We agreed on price and installation date. Work was performed on date and price agreed to.

We had an excellent experience with them. They were responsive, did a good work and their price was reasonable. We would use them again in the future.

We have used Mike many times for other projects, and we really liked him. After he painted the bedroom and trim we realized that the trim paint wasn't drying. We called him several times during the past 4 days to tell him the paint was still not dry. He came out to look at it, and agreed that we needed to do something about it. He said he would call us back to get it scheduled. We never heard from him. My husband called him several times. He finally got ahold of him and told Mike that we probably now needed him to sand down the trim and have him redo the work. Mike responded with profanity and let us know he was very angry. It was uncharacteristic from the pleasant way that he has responded to us in the past. We will not be using him again. We will now be hiring someone else to redo the work that Mike did.
Response from Athens Handyman Service LLC
"Although the customers were concerned of “tacky” paint, they were previously informed that due to being oil-based paint and also the effect of humidity due to the bedroom being on the second floor, the paint would take several days (possibly 4 or more) to cure and completely dry. We were in contact with the customer over the several days and in regards to the homeowner stating we didn’t respond, we did in fact go back a second time to re-paint the door on top of the still slightly wet paint, which resulted in a longer curing time. The following day, the customers were still persistent on the paint being wet, which then they demanded we come back and chemically strip the wood panel doors and trim to repaint. In discussion with the owner, this was not advised due to the paint having never had time to fully dry the first time. In addition, to chemically strip the door would have cost more than the entire job which was quoted at $500.00 for painting the walls, trim & ceiling. When painting in any type of 1900yr. home, paint can take multiple days to fully dry due to the layers of paint before it and being oil-based added additional drying time which we had the impression the homeowner understood. In conclusion, the homeowner never paid any money on this project although they were informed of the time for paint to dry. Athens Handyman Service is a member of the Better Business Bureau since 2007 with an "A" rating. Customer satisfaction is our number one priority in which we strive to maintain with every job. Due to the customers unreasonable request to strip all wet paint, we elected to complete with no charge to the customer."

I have used this company for several years. I just give them a call and they promptly arrive when they say they will and they provide me a good estimate. They have always come in on cost and if something unexpected is found during the job they have always showed me what they found and we discuss the cost implications prior to doing any more work. The work is always excellent.

He devoted a lot of time to this job and was very cooperative with meeting my husband there at a certain time. He made an arrangement to call my husband as he was leaving to meet him and that cooperation made it possible for us to meet him there. I can't believe how low the price was, considering we had paid 3 times as much for a much worse job in the past.

Mike came out gave me an estimate and the work started the next day. The work consisted of coming out 4 different days and adding more materials. They called every morning and let me know when they would be there and when they left. Very professional.

I used them about four months ago. I've used them three different times and each time they have been very professional. They have done a fantastic job. They are very reasonable. I'm planning to use them again.
