I was pleased with the majority of the work. Unfortunately, they did not do a second coat of paint on the television unit so it looks unfinished. They were very polite and did a good job of cleaning up after themselves. I thought they were very expensive.

Vinny and his men came in and quickly did the job to my satisfaction. Completely professional and knowledgeable. He did quality work and that's saying a lot since I am a very meticulous person. I will use him in the future and recommend him to anyone looking to fix home repairs.

ian which cost us additional money and Vinny then became stand offish and needed goaded into to finishing the job. The comment by the painter to me , yelling in my driveway ...she is trying to make a 30 year old house look new. My house is nice , and now we have paint all over our garage floor and tile floors in our house. Including my bedroom NEW nightstand when vinny knocked over a gallon of paint.  They came with no painting supplies and went into my garage and used ours without asking. We were told they had a truck full of tools and supplies. Everytime they left we had to clean up paint drops and mess, Our molding was only painted on front and not sides......really??????

"Who's the customer above the posted this reason we are not subcontractors the people who work on your job or work for am CV services even though you tried hiring them on the side so I don't understand if we did such a bad job why would you try to hire my guys on the side we went to your job 6×4 guys for $1000 we never made Any profit all we try to do was satisfy every wish and every demand you made now three months later after you paid us in full you post F review....THIS is really the worst accountability I've ever heard from the customer and angies list gives too much power to people who are liars and are cheaters...... Never spilled paint had guys that are electricians that work for me come in and do the electrical work again they work for me did an extra work painted doors and did extra coatings and closets came back 3 times with four guys three times with two guys... We came back to try to satisfy the customer never could satisfy the customer they are do-it-yourselfers that don't know what they're doing if you go to the house and look all around there's paint splattered everywhere that was all old paint that was all over the place we cleaned up and did the best we could there! My guy never talk to the children inappropriate in fact the customers husband made us feel so uncomfortable the way he talk to those children do yelling ,CURSING!inappropriate behavior that he did in front of us made us feel so bad for those children... The wife kept on talking to one of my workers it made him feel very uncomfortable !we tried our best to satisfy this customer but we were paid in full and have not heard anything about this job !three months later she gets to post a bunch lies on Angie's list..... To Angie's list I know you review this before you post it I am canceling my advertising on Angie's list Angie's list is a great website but you just gives too much power to the sick and suffering customers that you have and never take the time to actually review and investigate each case at time I am canceling my association with Angie's list.... to the customer above I feel sorry for you, because you're real problems are not the paint on the house, on the door, or you handles, or your fan, it's actually the problems that you have inside your home, very sorry for you I will pray for you and your family... Angie's list please have one of your associates get in touch with me this website is a joke to give people this much power is ridiculous!!!!!"

He obviously did not know how to properly place tiles and smeared grout where the tiles did not meet - leaving 1/2" to 1" grout in several areas, lumps of grout on the windowsill, and silicone (which he spread on with his fingers) in wide sweeps outside the shower doors. Since he decided to make the shower stall larger than the bathtub had been, my toilet now sits too close to the shower.  He suggested that I sit sideways to compensate. He drilled a crooked hole in the tiled wall to install the handle to turn the shower on, therefore, the handle does not stand straight.  After one very stressful month, I had to fire him.  He still had not installed the plumbing under my new sink.  I had to hire a glass specialist to try, in vain, to fix the shower doors.  I had a painter put a better coat of paint on the walls that were not well covered.hired a plumber to finish what he had not done.  I did not pay him the final $500 which got him very angry.  His parting words were "I'll take care of you."

There was nothing done properly and his attitude and constant arguments were very unprofessional.  The pictures Vinny displays as his own are false are definitely not of his work.  Do not hire this incompetent handyman!  I have filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

"The customer hired me and my guys as handymen we removed a tub advised against it in demo a small hole was poke through the sheet rock in the bedroom and we fixed it happens in demo all the time ,The existing old shower walls were removed and we put duarock back in its place and tiled walls..the shower pan was built the floor was tiled look beautiful , The customer loves it especially her husband and proceeded to give us a partial payment at that time ,but the customer (wife)did not like the way it felt on her toes very picky and did not really know what she wanted in the first place we retiled it with the same tile that we put on the bathroom floor !The customer was always advised about everything we would do before we did it we told her the shower was going to be too big or too small and not to take tub out talk about when we showed her the step up for the shower she agreed to that it was in a fine place and that we could proceed to tile The woman is a large woman so the shower was too small and the toilet was too close but she agreed to everything, there was three men over the period of the time that were working with me that witnessed all of this we helped her and her husband move out a couch no charge went to Home Depot many times for them no charge waited on material because they insisted on getting the material!!! waited on other trades like the guy that she bought the vanity for a small bathroom vanity and top for over $2000 ,had a brother in law and people filling her heads with lies!! they went on vacation we had to wait to finish the job when we came back things were not right the way we left it..things were broken and sabotage... The husband had a very close relationship with one of my workers and the husband told the worker that she (wife)was very picky but he was very satisfied with the work !that same gentleman went back after they told us they did not want us to finish the work ,that we would agreed to finish anything that was not to their satisfaction... The husband and wife paid us totally, except for the last $500 that we allocated for the rest of the work that needed to be done after they came back from vacation ,whoever is reading this review tell me why if they were not satisfied then why would they pay us in full, why wouldn't they let us finish all the little stuff that was agreed to be needed done after they came back from vacation I am very sorry that they are not satisfied with the work but we were willing to come back and do what ever it took to make them happy the woman the wife just did not want us there,anymore ! We tried all best to satisfy these customers they just would not let us they decided to listen to people who were jealous that they did not get to do the work in the first place like to brother-in-law like the vanity guy like any other trades that were there after the work was done all they needed for us to do is let us finish the job to their satisfaction"

He came on time, did a meticulous job and did all the work in four days. I have no complaints.  He may underestimate the time he may need to complete a job, but given what he did for me I cannot complain.  I still have many small projects that need to be completed and I will not hesitate to hire him.

I really thought Vinny was a great guy and well as George the man he had working for him.  He showed up on time and made sure to call me the night before to confirm.  I needed quite a few things done and he seemed to know how to do it all.  It was easy to have one person be skillful at all different things.  I felt he was fair with the pricing and he explained why certain things were priced the way they were.  He seemed to really care and wanted to be accurate.  I left the house while he was working and he was trustworthy.  Felt fine to leave him in the house.  I would use him again for sure and I would recommend him to friends.

Vinny said all the facia board need was to be patched, he did so. after 1 month patches bubbled off and still not resolved after 4 months of excuses.
Response from My Cousin Vinny's Handyman Service

"Dear customer I'm sorry to see that you left me a F rating. on Angie's list ,what I am finding out is that Angie's list gives people like you ,that do not know about the home-improvement,,construction,handyman business too much power...I told you, you ,had a roofing problem,I told you, that there was a problem when you have weeds growing out of the top-of The tile roof ... You said it was okay to patch the facia boards! You forgot to mention that my company went out there six times ,all the extra work that we did ! no charge !and how you were completely satisfied in the beginning ,and when the facia board bubbled it was do to your roof leaking and the extreme raining conditions ,that when we came out there again to try to help you !and advised you again to look into getting the roof fix.... Again my company try to help you we went out there ..there was arguing between you and your wife and you asked us to leave the property ..I actually again talk to your wife on the 16th of January and she advised me that you've been having problems with the roof and the facia boards all along......"

Vinny was super responsive!  He did work on my home a few weeks earlier (a lot of "honey-do" stuff), but I needed him quickly when our water heater began leaking.  He came right away, gave me a reasonable estimate - including replacement cost for the WH - then showed up when he said he would and fixed everything! 
Based on this job and the work he completed several weeks earlier (which included re-screening my patio, installing several fans, fixing a few light switches, installing a new garbage disposal, etc) - I highly recommend Vinny. He's da best.

Vinny was a pleasure to work with.  He was on time, provided a detailed estimate and made important recommendations that we had not considered.  His crew was equally polite and considerate and this made a significant difference.  Oftentimes the owner can be competent but his workers much less so.  Vinny was here doing the work along WITH his crew.  He spoke kindly to them and there was simply a good overall "vibe." Vinny called a few days later to make sure we were happy with his work and reminded me that he would be happy to return if there was something that had been overlooked or not done to my satisfaction.  We did not need him to come back but we will certainly have him back in the future when other repairs are necessary.  He is honorable and honest and a real delight to work with.

This was my first time using Vinnie's Handyman Service so I needed to get to know him.  He agreed to come to my home, inspect the project and give me an estimate.  In the course of our interview he explained what he thought would be the best approach to completing the work.  His proposal seemed the most suitable so we agreed to a contract which he wrote up. Vinnie had to purchase some of the material for the project so I gave him a check for that amount. The contract also specified when he would begin and finish the project.  He adhered to the times specified on the contract and was very punctual, completing the work within the times specified.
