Dave did a great job on every project I asked him to do. He asks lots of questions so that he can ensure he's doing it exactly to your specifications which I LOVE. So many contractors just do it their way and assume that's what you want. Not Dave. He's also punctual, fair priced and always cleans up his mess. I will definitely use him again. One reason I know Dave is good at what he does is that he is BUSY. Make sure you plan and let him know in advance exactly what you need him to do the day you have him so he blocks enough time on his calender. It is very likely he will have several jobs booked in one day and he may not have time for any 'add-on' projects.

I was impressed with Dave. His can-do attitude was refreshing. He did everything we asked. Pleased with how quick he was and how professional he was. Will definitely use him again. In fact, we are having him come back to help us with our pool tile.

Dave did a great job, and I have arranged for him to put a new door in for me.
Description of Work: I have 9 cathedral skylights, and recently had a new roof installed. During the re-roof, with all of the hammering around the skylights, a great deal of the acoustic material broke off. It was very unsightly, and rather than re-texture the damaged areas, I decided to have 4 inch moulding (baseboard) installed to cover it. I chose oak, and stained it. Dave did a great job making all the 45 degree cuts, so that the pieces fit perfectly. I will definitely hire him again.

Dave and his helper arrived at 8:00 am on day scheduled, removed very heavy patio cover, primed and installed facia board to replace damaged material, then painted to match. They haul away all removed material and cleaned up my yard. Dave was a pleasure to work with and a true professional. I would recommend him to anyone needing handy man help.

I would absolutely hire Dave again. In fact, about a month later he raced over to fix a leaking supply valve to my washing machine. On both occasions he came over within a couple of hours, even though that meant it was evening by the time he got there. He had a great attitude and fixed everything without any drama. I am an absentee owner and I trusted him with the key to my home. I keep his number handy!

No response to messages from me.
Description of Work: I left a message on his web site and go no response so I called and left a phone message. No response at all. He may do a great job, but it irritates me that he didn't even give me the courtesy of a response to my requests. Maybe he is super busy. If so he should let me know.

I would like to offer my sincere apologies for this. The request came in on Jan 14th. 99% of the time they are responded to with at least an acknowledgement. I am unable to find one in this case The website request and e-mail is the best way to get a hold of us. However every effort is made to return all phone calls within 48 hours. We will continue to work hard to respond to each request.

He came to fix a socket for us but he wasn’t able to do anything. He was only able to assess it as it was more complicated. However, we utilized the entire hour that we paid him. He helped us with getting things from attic and so on. He was very good and polite. Once he realized that he couldn’t do that, he was honest and forthcoming. He was very helpful. He isn’t a big talker but he just does the job. He does charge more than what handymen do but he is worth it because he doesn’t spend a lot of time talking. I felt that it was very good time for money.

He went out of his way to pick up the keys for my rental condo and take a look at a louvered door that was broken to see if it could be fixed. When he determined that it could not be fixed, he went to Home Depot and located a replacement door. After calling me to confirm that the door he had located would work, he purchased the door and installed it in the condo. The best thing(s) about Dave is (1) that he went out of his way to help me when there was a time constraint to getting this door fixed, (2) he kept me completely informed of his every move and provided his expert advice during the process, (3) he was prompt, friendly and efficient, and (4) he gave me peace of mind of knowing that problems would be handled. His rates are very reasonable and he is always reachable and responsive by cell phone, text or email. I highly recommend I'll Handle It and he will definitely be handling all of my rental condos and home repair needs in the future.

If you have anything you need done in your home, do not pass go -- just call Dave! This is the third time I have used him at my rental property. I emailed him and told him what needed to be done. We set a date and he was there AHEAD OF TIME, along with a helper. He had already fixed the screen door before I got there, since he could access it from the outside. He either put in new rollers or adjusted the existing ones and cleaned them and the tracks. As for the glass door, he had to remove it to look at the rollers. This was quite a difficult job, as it was difficult to remove, and then the glass was extremely heavy. But he and his employee did it. He looked at the rollers and determined that I didn't need new ones, but that the old ones could be cleaned up. They had gunk all over them and could only be cleaned and greased properly with the door off. (He actually told me he looked to find new rollers before he came to the house in anticipation of having to replace them, but there were 25 rollers to choose from. He said if there were 8 or so, he would have purchased them all and returned the ones he didn't need. Talk about being prepared!) The door slides great now. The kitchen faucet moved at the base. You could literally move it 180 degrees. My crack contractor who had remodeled the kitchen months before had not tightened it enough. Dave had a little trouble with it because he said the nut had rusted a little due to some water on it. But he was able to tighten it and now it works great. He also discovered, on his own, that the air gap was loose and tightened it. He is a pleasure to work with. He is honest, punctual and efficient. You can't ask for any more!

I hired this company on the basis of its stellar reviews on Angies List. The 6 week wait was well worth it. I explained the job over the phone and scheduled a date....but asked if they'd come by at some point to see the job first, look at the awning I purchased online to make sure there would be no surprises. Dave visited for over an hour, reviewed our plans and listened to my concerns. When he and his partner arrived to do the job,they were set to go...with all the right materials and a great attitude. Additionally, he took the time to adjust and realign another "self installed"awning -- a request I made as he was ready to leave! He fixed it with a smile. And, he charged the low end of his verbal estimate. Very fair. Going forward, my husband and I will be hiring I'll Handle It for future projects.

Couldn't get through on the phone; didn't respond to message sent via provider's own website, where I left details of the work needed along with full contact info. Completely unresponsive. Update (10/28): Have seen the Provider's response here, and have emailed him. I've searched & searched again, and note that the email address now being recommended in his response does not appear anywhere on his website. One either calls or uses the website's online form. Rather than leave a voicemail, I elected to use the form, and this is what was never responded to.

We sincerely apologize for this, but an extensive search of all of our e-mails and voice mails show no such call or e-mail. We pride ourselves in our responsiveness, however occasionally because of our tremendous work load it may take 24-48 hours to respond by phone. If you can please send an e-mail through Angie's list or to Illhandleit@san.rr.com, we will respond within 24 hours. E-mail is the most effective way to contact us. Thank You.

This is a really nice service company. Dave and his crew are pleasant to have around. They work with you to achieve the end result you're looking for. They are willing to run to Home Depot, to try something out, and to come out for several jobs taking only a day or larger jobs that might take several days. The idea of a "handyman" is very useful to us as homeowners, saving us from hiring several expensive workers for smaller jobs that involve basic electrical installation, plumbing, painting, woodworking and repair, or tile installation or repair.
Description of Work: This was the second time I have used Dave's "I'll Handle It" handyman services. This time he and one of his crew did a couple of jobs that only took half the day - installing a ceiling fan, replacing a smoke detector, installing a new toilet paper holder, etc. The services offered are flexible and many can be done by Dave and just one guy; however, before, we had a larger job that involved painting some walls, replacing some drywall and putting in a new built-in shelving unit. That time there were three guys working, total.

I already made another appointment with him to come back and do some more work. Make sure you schedule a few weeks in advanced. He is very busy.

Dave called a couple of days ahead to confirm our appointment and he showed up right on time. He brought a 2nd worker with him, so the jobs proceeded quickly. They did an excellent job and cleaned up all the scraps after. Both the towel bar and the curtain rod had been installed incorrectly by another "handyman" previously. I will never again go in blindly hiring someone. Thank you Angie's List for your great data base! And, thank you Dave for doing such an expert job!
