Honey Do Handyman

Steve showed up 40 minutes late and didn't apologize for the tardiness instead opening with "Ok, I'm going to go to the bathroom". There was also a misunderstanding on the work to be performed which meant I had to go with him to Home Depot to unload the extra drywall he purchased. He was on his own time once work began and seemed in no hurry. Which would have been fine if the drywall was the only thing on the list. It is the only thing he got to, though, and even took a snack break about 5p before finally finishing around 6. The work he did was pretty good (not great as I still have to go back and sand it down before it can be painted). This is my first Angie's List purchase and it wasn't a great first impression.

This would also require replacing bathroom faucets. There was two bathrooms, both identical. The first one went fine. In the second bathroom, he noticed the hot and cold water valves needed to be replaced and he was correct- I had a plumber to come out and do that. In the process of Honey Do Handyman attempting to re-attach the pipes, he told me that he broke one pipe and I'd need to replace it. He said he felt bad and said he'd only charge me for an hour of service. When he left, we didn't know the cost of the pipe replacing. I spoke to a plumber and got the price for the replacement. Later, I text Honey Do Handyman, I suggested to him - that in the future if there's trouble with the plumbing that he should let his future clients know so they can determine if they want him to finish the job. Rather than admitting he couldn't fix it, he did damage and cost me money. I think he can do anything that's not complex or plumbing related- he has lots of experience with that, but he wary about hiring him for plumbing work.

Installation was completed within a few hours.

it went great. I will hire him again.

The contractor was a breeze to work with and showed up on time. That was when the wheels started to fall off. Despite being given a list of things to do, he didn't say what he needed to complete tasks (new hardware for cabinets, and different drains for sinks) and completed only 1 task (replacing three drain stops in sinks). One of the cabinets he "fixed" has already broken off, and the walls still need to be painted. I ended up doing one of the tasks myself since he was taking too long. I have to hire another handyman to finish the work he started (and spent 8 hours trying to do...)

New Ping pong table set up. Ask fixed loose bathroom faucet. Was unable to fix fire alarms.

Steve came out the same-day I called and got to work immediately on the odds-and-ends that needed some elbow grease.

Nicest guy, honest, fair.

3rd time using him in the last 6 months and I'm getting the same excellent level of service as before.

Stephen did many handyman jobs for my mom over  the course of a few years. He was always upbeat and happy, outgoing and friendly. He also is a good problem solver. Usually, he looks over the job, gives you an estimate, and goes out to get the supplies. This job was especially tricky, because he would have to have the pipes cut to the proper length and threaded. It took more than one day, it was such a big job, but it was very successful. The railing was rock solid, and mom was confident that her firm grip would help her navigate the big steps up to the house.

Holy crap was this bad! I found their card at Baller Hardware and hired them to install a roof over my patio, similar to the one at Modern Eats (if you're local and have been). Well, $3,000 later, there is no roof, they used Douglas Fir, and attached it directly to my roof, something they explicitly said they would not do because that is not good for the roof. This work was done a few years back, but the work was so bad, the experience resonates with me still today. I was a naive new homeowner, and I think they took advantage of it. These dudes suck.

It went great. Stephen is so friendly and professional. He assured us he would be able to do this job. With creativity in problem solving, ample supplies and tools already in his truck for any situation and careful easing without damage to our air conditioner, he completed the installation. He made a thorough clean up, got the whole job done in a timely manner and showed us how to use our appliance for optimal results. PS He returned my call the first day and was willing to come do the job on a Saturday so we wouldn't have to wait.

I wish I didn't feel the need to write this review. Steve is a nice enough guy, but he is very unprofessional and did a pretty terrible job for something that should have been very straightforward. He installed a new power outlet in the wall and made such a mess of the plasterboard after realizing he couldn't put the outlet where we wanted it. So he had to shift it a few inches to the left, which isn't the problem. The problem is the subpar job he did of putting the outlet plate on the wall and then "repairing" the hole in the wall. He "filled it" and then left it without sanding it flat, didn't clean up after himself, so there was plaster all over the carpet and he didn't even screw the plate onto the wall correctly. It doesn't sit flush with the wall and wasn't in straight. I had to take it off myself and realign it so it would sit flush. It wasn't difficult at all. It also only took me 15 minutes to sand the wall flat so I could be repaint it. None of this is good enough. I shouldn't have needed to do any of it considering I paid him $175 to do it and it took him 3 hours to install a power outlet and plate. I would have made him come back to finish the job properly, but he scared my girlfriend and roommate so much while he was trying to fix our sliding door and after the power outlet install because he was yelling and cursing at the door at the top of his voice. He couldn't figure out how to repair it. This is incredibly unprofessional and borderline abusive. They felt threatened and just wanted him to leave. I did speak to him after and told him about how he made them feel and that it was unprofessional. Steve did apologize, but the excuse of saying he was just hungry and hadn't eaten yet wasn't good enough. They didn't feel safe with him in the house and I regret leaving for work because I wouldn't have allowed that to happen. Not good at all. Steve has been a handyman for many years and I am sure is capable, but he did a terrible job on a simple project for us and I definitely feel like people should be aware of his temper issues. We won't be using his services again.

Steve was excellent and very professional! He was also very personable and our dogs loved him! Great Job!

Wonderful, quick work! We'll definitely be asking Steve for help again when we need work around the house. Very nice guy.

Stephen showed up on time. It was a quick fix and he lowered his hourly rate based on the need for the repair.
I appreciated his honestly on other items in my home that are in need of repair.
I would call him back if the job fit his skill set.

He was very responsive. On time for the work. He was friendly. It took him a couple hours to install the kitchen sink faucet and still it is really wobbly, not snug at all. I have to hire another contractor to fix it.

It was okay.  I wouldn't hire him again.  There were no additional costs.  He was here within a month of the purchase date. 

Excellent
