Perfect. The job took Victor much longer than expected, and frankly I thought he undercharged for the time spent in transit to Home Depot and in purchasing the door, plus the tricky trimming required to install it in our non-standard size door frame.
Description of Work: Victor purchased, trimmed to non-standard size, and installed an interior door.

Extremely pleased with the service. Victor arrived on time, went to work first assessing the work environment and placement of new fixture. He paid attention to detail throughout the job and gave explanation of what he would do next. He was methodical and logical in his approach. He cleaned up the work areas extremely well. Look forward to having him in my home for additional work.

They are doing really good. I like that they are pretty neat doing the project. They are pretty professional. I think their price is fair. It’s a little bit pricy but it’s acceptable. They gave me a 10% or 15% discount. Their quality is good. They are pretty clean.

VICTOR MET THE AGREED-UPON PRICE AND DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB.'WHEN I CHECKED THE FENCE AFTER RETURNING FROM WORK, I NOTICED HE HAD USED BRICKS FROM MY NEIGHBORS' YARD IO FULL THE GAP BETWEEN THE FENCE AND THE YARD. I HOPED HE HAD ASKED THE NEIGHBOR, WHO HE HAD MET.WHEN VICTOR STOPPED BY FOR HIS CHECK I ASKED AND HE SAID THE BRICKS WERE JUST WASTE MATERIAL.HE THOUGHT THE NEIGHBOR WOULDN'T MIND. I FOUND THIS DISAPPOININTING AND THE NEIGHBOR DID MIND. ON THE PLUS SIDE, VICTOR HAS DONE SEVERAL OTHER JOBS WELL FOR ME WITH NO ISSUES ( AND MY DOG HASN'T GOT OUT SINCE).EVERYTHING ELSE(PRICE, TIME, MATERIALS) WAS AS AGREED UPON.
Description of Work: I HAVE AN ESCAPE-ARTIST , TREE CLIMBING DOG. OVER SEVERAL DAYS, VICTOR CUT BACK A TREE OVERHANGING THE NEIGHBORS' YARD, REPLACED THREE FENCE POSTS AND THE FENCING BETWEEN.I AS KED FOR POINTED-TOP FENCE BOARDS. HE SAID IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HAVE SOME FLAT AREA ON TOP WHICH WAS OKAY WITH MET, BUT THE STANDARD DOG-EARED FENCING COULD BE TOO COMFORTABLE FOR A CLIMBER, SO WE COMPROMISED.
Victor was punctual for the first time to give us an estimate of the job. He was also punctual the day he worked on the project. In the beginning, we were a little worried for he spend at least 2 hrs assessing the job and running out to purchase the necessary hardware. But everything fell into place without any hiccups. He was very patient as my husband kept watching and learning at the same time. Victor is courteous, professional and clean. Will use him again.

After we had called Victor, we sent him our task list via e-mail. He came to determine the requirements in terms of time and materials and 2 days later he provided us an estimate. About a week later he came and worked 4 days straight, and very methodically and competently completed one task after another. On the last day he even had his wife helping him for a few hours, so he could complete the work on time. What we particularly appreciated was the fact that he preferred to repair things rather than replace them. He was able to fix a hall closet door which another handyman had told us could not be fixed. In the end Victor charged us very close the amount of his estimate although he spent more time than anticipated. We could not be more satisfied with his work or happier with his price.
Description of Work: We had more than a dozen tasks on our 'to do' list, from simple ones like installing a carbon monoxide / smoke detector to involved ones like hanging a new door where there previously was a pocket door.

Overall the service and the job was done well. I had a coupon, that he did not accept all of the amount, but agreed to do an additional job (replace outlets - different color). Discouraged the use of a credit card, although the profile said he would take it.

He build a strong and beautiful platform. He used screws instead of nails. One can stand and jump on it, it is so strong. He believes in quality therefore I would gladly hire him again and probably will.
Description of Work: He build a platform for a gas dryer in the garage.
Description of Work: I CALLED TO HAVE MY GUTTERS CLEANED. SPOKE TO MICHAEL WHO SAID THE GUTTERS WOULD COST $125-150. I ARGUED FOR THE LESSER AMOUNT GIVEN THAT MY HOUSE IS ONE STOREY AND SMALL. I ALSO SAID I HAD A GATE I WANTED VICTOR TO LOOK AT.VICTOR CAME OUT AND TOOK CARE OF THE GUTTERS, WHICH HAD MORE DEBRIS THAN IN THE PAST BECAUSE I HAD LET THE CLEANING GO. HE GAVE ME THE 125$ RATE SAYING MICHAEL MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT THEY HAD RAISED IT .(ACTUALLY IF I HAD JUST GONE THROUGH ANGIE'S LIST I WOULD HAVE SEEN THERE WAS A $50 COUPON FOR ANGIE'S LIST MEMBERS.THIS IS THE THIRD TIME VICTOR HAS DONE WORK FOR ME AND I JUST CALLED DIRECTLY )I HAVE BEEN IN MY HOME ALMOST FOUR YEARS.THE GATE WAS IN POOR SHAPE WHEN I MOVED IN AND TIME HAD NOT IMPROVED IT, TO PUT IT MILDLY. IT FUNCTIONED MAINLY AS AN ESCAPE HATCH FOR MY ADVENTURING DOGS WHO DELIGHTED IN FINDING WAYS THROUGH MY BARRICADES.VICTOR REPLACED BOTH THE POSTS SUPPORTING THE FENCE ALONG WITH CONCRETE AND A DIAGONAL BRACE THAT HE ADDED TO THE GATE (WHICH NEVER HAD ONE BEFORE.) HE ADDED A FENCE BOARD MATCHING THE EXISTING ONES AND DRILLED A HOLE FOR THE GATE LATCH, WHICH MADE IT FUNCTIONAL AND REPLACED SOME ADDITIONAL WOOD. ALAS, THE DOGS IMMEDIATELY FOUND THEY COULD DIG OUT THE BOTTOM. MORE BARRICADES. AT LEAST I CAN ACTUALLY USE THE GATE IF THE DOGS ARE INSIDE AND THE GATE ITSELF LOOKS DECENT.THE TOTAL COST ABOVE WAS FOR THE GUTTERS , THE GATE REPAIR AND MATERIALS .VICTOR DID THE GUTTERS THE FIRST DAY AND CAME BACK THE NEXT WEEK ON TWO DAYS TO COMPLETE THE GATE . THE CONCRETE AROUND THE NEW POSTS NEEDED TIME TO CURE.I WAS ABLE TO GO TO WORK WHILE HE DID MOST OF THIS.NICE GUY AND TRUSTWORTHY.

I contacted this business and spoke to a woman named Elena. She took down my information and inquired about the type of work I needed to get done. SHe provided information on pricing and assured me Victor would return my call that evening or the following day. Needless to say, I never heard back. It disappointed me that a business that received such high ratings on Angie's List has turned out to be flakey. After this experience I am very skeptical of Angie's List business.

Victor came to give me an estimate for finishing my two car garage, but never got back to me. After two weeks, I called his number and spoke to another guy who told me they would charge $5,000 for the job. I asked him to send me a written estimate, but he never did. It was a waste of time.

He took extra care with the removal as well as the installation. It was a work of all.
Description of Work: Took out large sliding glass door, replaced with French doors and new stud wall.
Looking to have my gutters cleaned I called Victor after reading several good reviews. Was contacted by a Michael about four days after initial call to schedule gutter cleaning and discuss a few other projects I wanted estimates on. After needing to reschedule once, work was able to begin. Victor was a few minutes early (8:58 am) on day one 8/23 but did not have a ladder tall enough to easily reach the roof so I showed him a few other projects I wanted done and we decided he would work on rebuilding my 3'x3' back porch. Victor asked what type of materials I wanted and I let him know it should be something low maintenance and he suggested pressure treated wood because it wouldn't need to be sealed then quoted the labor would take about 4 hours and that the total for labor and materials would cost about $350 ($200 labor). Victor tore down the old porch in half an hour then proceeded to Home Depot. Two hours later he returned and began to rebuild the back porch. At 6pm we realized he was a few rails short of a finished deck so we decided he would return the following morning to complete the the porch and clean the gutters. The next day he arrived on time, but without a taller ladder. He completed the porch and wanted to get started on a few of my other projects, but I only had gutter cleaning in my budget. He stated he would be busy the rest of the week but would be available early the next week and would bring the ladder then, plus tackle a few of my other projects. I asked him for the receipts and he said he would make copies then mail them back to me as well as email my invoice, but that I should call to remind him and schedule my next appointment soon. He left without cleaning up any of the saw dust, or wood scraps. But because he was returning in a few days I didn't sweat it immediately. I called two hours after Victor left reminding him about the receipts, asking for him about his upcoming availability, letting him know the wood manufacturer (via website) suggested applying water repellant to the wood so we would need to do that the following meeting, and reminding him that wood and saw dust would need to be picked up. I have not heard from him since. Two weeks later I received an email with the price I paid, but no copies of my receipts, in addition I've now got pressure treated wood debris all over my yard. I have attempted making an appointment with him three times over the phone (voicemail) and twice by email. Four days ago after drafting this review I even held off posting it and called, so that he would have every opportunity to finish what he started. Michael answered but said he would call me back, because he was driving at the time. Nothing. I've now got 1. an unsealed deck 2.a stack of old painted lumber from the last deck 3. saw dust, and wood shavings everywhere 4. A sour taste in my mouth. Sadly I would not recommend Victor's Handyman Service, while the deck is now functioning the yard is now a mess. And i'm still in need of a reliable handyman for all my other projects.
Description of Work: - Back deck was torn down - Supply trip was made to Home Depot - Back porch was rebuilt

Response from Victor Handyman Service
I find this report completely untrue. 1st the homeowner wasn’t responsive on our confirmation of scheduled work date. The member has finally called and cancelled our appointment based on the street work being performed a day before scheduled appointment. The following week, again, I did not hear from the member about her availability the day before. The summer is very busy time for our service and we were very flexible to accommodate her. Furthermore, an invoice with scanned copies of receipts were sent to her. I can provide documentation that depicts that those were provided. Victor is very neat and clean and always cleans up after his work. You can review previous posting from our other customers. The member fails to disclose that her back yard is a complete mess with garbage everywhere. He did not leave a mess behind him. He placed old wood in one the piles thinking it would be a good place. Victor’s Handyman Service cares about the work we do, professionalism and neatness (see other reviews of our happy customers). We do not wish to return to a place where our work in not appreciated.

See above. I would give the work an A+
Description of Work: Victor removed a 12' sliding glass door and replaced it with french doors and built out the remaining walls with studs. I will be doing the finish work. Even though the slider was very difficult and time consuming to remove, Victor didn't suggest revising the estimate. He built the walls to last and took a great deal of time and trouble to install the new doors. The man is an artist. He could have slapped pieces together and called it a day, but he went to the nth degree to get it right. Not the fastest, but clearly the best. He was neat the protected my floor and cleaned up each night (it took 2 days to finish).

We called Victor (on a Saturday) at his number but he did not answer so we called the second number where Mike answered and scheduled the appt. for the installation on Monday. On the day of the appt. Victor called and explained that he could not make the established time and told us what time he could be here. He asked if that would work for us. We said yes...Victor was at our home at that time. Victor was meticulous in installing the faucet. It was not an ordinary install. The faucet was new with updated fittings. My home is 40 years old with same age plumbing. He made it work and double checked everything involved to make certain it all worked perfectly. The pricing structure was quoted on the phone when the appt. was scheduled. The pricing is straight forward and fair and that was what Victor charged us.. We found Victor to be knowledgeable, efficient, conscientious and an all around nice person. We will call on Victor again. Barbara and Al Holmes

I called this company to have a new mirrored closet door installed. It took about 1 week for him to call back. After he left a message it took several phone messages back and forth before we finally talked on the phone. We agreed to the price and the service he was to perform. We set a date for him to come out to install the closet. The only thing left undecided was whether or not he would buy the new closet door or would I measure and buy something ready for him to install. We agreed I would call back within a couple of days. I measured, I bought the new closet door and had it ready for Victor (Michael -- not sure who owns the company or who does the work) to pick up. I called within the two day period as he recommended. Unforutnately when I called him back he "forgot" that we scheduled the installation for the agreed upon date and made alternative plans. I believe this is unprofessional and I will not call him to reschedule. This is no way to run a business. I am busy too and I made arrangements to make sure someone would be at home and I took the time to buy the new closet doors to be ready for him to pick up.
Description of Work: No services performed as he made alternative arrangements on the day he was scheduled to come to my house to install my new closet doors.

He explained everything and left the house spotless.
Description of Work: I purchased an over-the-range microwave in February 2011 and had been sitting in my kitchen floor until today 4/26/11. I had three people from CL coming to see it and quoting two times the price of the microwave. I had a family member offered to help, and if it was not for Viktor; my microwave will be on the kitchen floor.
He caulked the kitchen counter and repaired an non ringing door bell on the first visit. He returned to repair a bedroom ceiling and then finished it the 2nd day, the color and finish matched perfect.
Description of Work: Victor is very good at what he does, he was on time for his 3 visits, had all the tools and finished the job as expected. He gave us and estimate then went to work. Will use him again.
I was so pleased with Victor's services. He is punctual, polite and extremely efficient. He is far and away, the best handyman I've come across. He arrived right on time. I showed him my 2 projects (shower tiles need to be re-caulked and a gate that needed repair.) He gave me a time and price estimate, and then got right to work. He was very thorough and efficient. He actually finished more quickly than he had estimated, so he was able to do some additional work. I am very pleased with Victor's work and will definitely be calling on him again.
Description of Work: Victor scraped out old caulk around a number of my shower tiles and then re-caulked the tiles. He then repaired an outdoor gate by stabilizing the fence post and then re-aligning the gate. He finished these jobs more quickly than he had estimated, so he had time to begin another project that I had planned on addressing later. He cut away some sheet rock and identified the exact location of a leak into my garage. When the weather dries I will be having Victor come back to fix the leak.

victor arrived on time. the work he did was varied and he took care of each task with skill and a smile. he's a hard worker and i will be calling on him again as well as recommending him to friends and neighbors. besides being an excellent worker, victor is a friendly guy who laughs easily. it's important to me that the folks who work in our home be friendly as well as skilled in their profession and Angie's list has provided us with great people to hire for our home's needs. thank you to victor and Angie's list.
