We hired Joshua Deatrick on July 25 to complete several tasks at our rental property, including cleaning/sealing grout, repainting two rooms, replacing baseboards, making minor repairs to the shower and kitchen sink, and rockscaping the backyard. We paid him 75% of the quoted price upfront, but the job, originally promised to take 'about 5 days,' was delayed repeatedly. He didn’t even start for a week and then claimed something came up, causing further delays. Despite our concerns, we continued working with him because we had already paid him. On August 5, he requested additional money for mold removal under the kitchen sink, which we paid immediately. On August 15, Joshua asked for more money so he could finish the job, even though we had already paid upfront for the materials. We paid him the remaining 25% to ensure the work would be completed. On August 19, he informed us that the interior work was done and that he was just waiting on the rocks. However, as of August 29, he has not finished installing baseboards in one of the bedrooms, sealing the grout, or delivering the landscaping rocks. Joshua has not responded to our messages or phone calls for the past 10 days. Josh was very dismissive during this process and would go days with out responding to us.

Bottom line up front: Save yourself the trouble and hire someone else. The Company is unreliable, unprofessional, and has shown a complete lack of communication and responsibility. We hired Joshua Deatrick on July 25 for various tasks, including grout work, painting, replacing baseboards, and landscaping. We paid 75% upfront as agreed, but the '5-day' job was delayed repeatedly. He didn’t even start for a week, then claimed issues came up. Despite concerns, we continued since we already paid. On August 15, we gave him the remaining 25% because he said he ran out of money and couldn’t afford to buy the remaining supplies for the job. By August 19, he claimed to have completed interior work but was waiting on landscaping rocks. As of August 29, baseboards remain unfinished, grout unsealed, and the backyard incomplete. Joshua hasn't responded to our messages for 10 days. We now have to hire someone else to finish the job. He vanished with our money. Find a different handyman.

Unprofessional, smug, and curt. Joshua required me to pay in full for work up front. Was supposed to remove the shower, tub, toilet, vanity, add support joists as needed, replace subfloor as needed, then put it all back and install vinyl tile. He removed the tub and shower liner but waited per my request so I could see if insurance would cover. Then when I went to schedule him to finish the pre-paid work, he gave a vague answer and did not commit to a date. The same happened for the following week. I also had to haul away the toilet and tub which he left on my tenant's porch. When trying to schedule the second week and he could not commit I asked for a refund. He responded basically by saying none of this was his fault. Said I was uncommunicative. Unwilling to work with me. So I disputed the entire portion of the bathroom job with my credit card company. He said I would not win and he would block my number. DO NOT HIRE THIS GUY.

Josh was a great technician. Did a good job. He’s very polite very professional very courteous and great patriot I appreciate his attention to detail and he was very Task. It is a great company with your operation and I would highly recommend him for any job. He repaired the skylights in a very time, efficient manner, and with a lot of attention to detail. I lost my two skylights from a 65 -70 mph vertical plenty rien draft And it blew out three of my skylights of my workshop .God bless him and your corporation.

Joshua was very knowledgeable and helpful with ideas to improve my property. He sprayed the weeds explaining it would take a few days to work. It did work after a week, however I need someone willing to pull weeds and rake to clean up the yard before starting another project.

Horrible
Response from The Helping Handyman
"I think you may have me confused with someone else. I have never done any work for you in the past or scheduled to do any work for you. You should get things straight before you slander someone's work ethic and diminish their online presence like you have done. Please redact your bogus review."

We did a doggie door for my fur kids and he was very fast and very friendly with me. He did great work even though it was something that could be done fast he did do a great job installing the door. Overall I am very pleased with the work he did.

Joshua arrived and I gave him my long list . He breezed through it. He assembled a shelf and attached it to the wall. Hung 2 jersey display boxes. And hung 2 curtain rods. It doesn't seem like a lot but it was and I forgot to turn on the fan. Poor guy suffered without complaint. The price was reasonable. My husband had knee surgery and we are so grateful to Joshua for his help. TY

The jerk stole my money. He did NO work
Response from The Helping Handyman
"Liar! You were trying to scam me from the start. And I was nice enough and kinda dumb in making the decision to help you for a second time. No wonder you could not get someone local to take the job!"

Josh was very communicative, precise, on time, and worked non stop until it was done. Came across a lot of obstacles during the job but was able to pivot easily. Great demeanor and service. Would definitely use him again.
