Fred and his teammate did excellent job on my project. Very respectful, very friendly, very professional, and very easy to talk / deal with. They are on time and my project is being done on time as promised. They cleaned the area and hauled the trash. I’ll be hiring Fred again in my future project.

Fred and his team did an amazing job on our bathroom remodel! Fred had some excellent design ideas that we incorporated. Danny and Rueben worked efficiently and carefully - not damaging parts of the bathroom that we wished to keep. The project was completed on time and in budget - we couldn’t have asked for a smoother process. I would highly recommend them and will be using their services again in the future.

Excellent! Superb! Clean! Tidy! Fred, the owner of the company oversaw every aspect of the remodel. He was very easy to work with. Any changes I asked for during the remodel he implemented. I love our new bathroom and will be using Alpha Handyman for our kitchen remodel.

Never contracted with Alpha Handyman Services. Was negotiating the contract and Fred was very unprofessional in dealing with me. Told me he was being stressed by me because I was questioning information on his highly unorthodox and unacceptable unprofessional quote. Spent 1/2 hour on phone discussing the quote and concluded he would review my issues with the contract and submit a new quote (or so I thought). Shortly after the call, he sent me an email saying he was no longer interested in doing the project. I am a 100% Disabled Veteran with a totally disabled wife that now has no use of 2 of our bathrooms for over 7 months with now two failed contractors. My wife and I now have to go up and down the stairs to be able to go to the bathroom for 7 months. I'm 70 & wife is 68, both disabled, and worried about our safety. Help.
Response from Alpha Handyman

"Mr. [Member Name Removed], I’m sorry that you felt we were unprofessional. We worked hard to negotiate acceptable terms along with discounting the original price by $2000 in order to accommodate you. Once I drew up the contract, I also did not have a problem with negotiating or answering a few questions in some areas. We’re sorry that negotiating the contract did not fit your needs despite our best efforts. We wish you well."

Fred at Alpha Handyman quickly assessed the job and gave me a bid. He was prompt in responding to my text messages. His workmen were very courteous and knew exactly what had to be done. They completed the work to my satisfaction and left the work site clean and tidy. I would use them again.

Fred was extremely respomsive amd easy to work with. He was prompt, explained all work and pricing, laid out various options and let me know if what I wanted to do would put us outside the agreed to budget. He was always available by phone or text if I had questions. His crew was polite. clean and respectful of our needs. I will definitely use Alpha again.

Fred transformed our guest bathroom just in five days. His skilled crew showed up exactly at 8:30 am everyday, and worked diligently and cleanly. Fred’s price is reasonable. We are very happy with our renewed bathroom. Fred is such a reliable contractor that we are sure that we will call Fred again for future remodeling projects.

Fred and his team were great! Fred contacted me quickly, scheduled a time for a quote and came out for the project 2 days later. He communicated regularly. His team was efficient and professional and finished the project in less time than he thought and under budget. They cleaned up after themselves and were very respectful of my home. I plan to hire Alpha Handyman again for future repairs.

The project manager finished all the projects early. One project was not necessary so we decided to wait rather than trouble shoot at an expensive rate. I had to pay for travel time and I wasn't informed of that but I had a reduced rate because of the early finish . I really appreciate that because I am a senior on a fixed income.

We are very happy with the fence replacement surrounding our large back yard. We had approximately 285 linear feet replaced and painted. Our yard borders 6 neighbors and Fred made sure to take down one side at a time so that no one was completely exposed for more than 2 days. His crew was punctual, polite and hardworking. And the job was completed on time and with no cost overruns.

I needed repair to a small storage room attached to my home that is used as a small laundry room. The roof was leaking, the door was warped and falling off. Fred responded quickly to my request, and gave me a fair quote. His workers were prompt, professional and polite, they made sure to clean up when they were done for the day and left no mess when the job was complete. The structure they built is perfect for our needs and looks fantastic! Throughout the building Fred was there every day and was willing to change severial things I had forgot to mention in the original quote. Good people! I would highly recommend alpha for any of your handyman needs!

I was nervous when we started the remodel of our 85 year old bathroom. There are so many horror stories about dishonest contractors. We got four estimates and decided to go with Fred because of his fair price, his good reviews and his willingness to do things the way we envisioned them. I’m so glad we chose him. Everything went very smoothly, despite the fact that I am pretty fussy and the age of the house presented challenges. Fred is extremely honest, very reasonable, really cares, truly wants his clients to be happy. He guided us and gave his professional input regarding colors, styles, etc. HIs crew (Ruben and Jose) are skilled and super hard workers and were very accommodating when we asked for a few modifications. Don’t waste your money hiring big companies…you just pay for their high pressure phone banks, offices, sales reps, etc. Fred runs his own business and he’ll be there every day, making sure things are done right.

Very prompt, efficient, and professional. Fred Pratt, the owner, was very respectful and polite and asked my opinion when there was a “fork” in the project. The job was completed in a timely manner - same day!
