My entire experience with Handy has been a nightmare. For the last month I have tried to get someone to clean my house. After the first “pro” they sent out, that was not the “pro” I requested, barely cleaned either bathroom, didn’t completely vacuum in the master bedroom or closet, and broke a slat in our blinds, I was done!!! Instead of crediting my debit card, they credited my Handy account. So, I gave them a second chance. Again, the pro I chose didn’t accept my booking, and in 8 day’s time I was never assigned another one, only to find out an hour before they were to be at my house, they cancelled. I’m done. And I’ve told them I’m done. They credited my Handy account again. But this time, I asked them to credit my debit card instead. We’ll see how that turns out. Be ware of this company. Or app or whatever they are. They’re terrible!!!

I scheduled this cleaning several days in advance, almost a week. The Pro never showed...I kept waiting and finally was notified that they 'canceled' about 40 mins after they were supposed to arrive. No other explanation. Good thing my house was pretty clean to begin with, or I would have been left hanging for a holiday get-together! It was difficult to get a live person on the phone to find out what in the world was going on...when I did get someone they were several states away! Within an hour, Handy asked me to reschedule through an email message, I declined, then they kept my money! I had to contact them several days later to try to get refund! What a pain!

The appointment went great! We really like Angela and her work was so neat! I hope she will come here to work again. She is a good 'fit' for our family and our house.

My house is empty and pretty clean . Just wanted a deep though cleaning before move in. The only places I asked is oven and windows. But , it still as dirty as before. Pelus the professional was late, I have to call to confirm she was coming. Handy gave me $20 credit which I don’t think I will use.
