Howard is polite, honest and punctual. If he doesn't think he can do a job, he will tell you. I trust him with a key to my house.
Description of Work: Howard has done several jobs for me. He has installed an outside shower, put guards on my gutters, disconnected a faulty garage door, and attached/removed hurricane shutters. His charges are always reasonable.

He wasn't so good on the gutter guards. I think he isn't comfortable with heights, but he had a friend help and it worked out fine. He did an excellent job on the shower and set up the hurricane shutters before the storm and at a reasonable price. Howard is honest, professional, punctual and generally good. If he doesn't feel comfortable with a project, he will tell you.
Description of Work: I have used Howard several times. He installed an outdoor shower, set up hurricane shutters and installed gutter guards at the roofline.

They were very prompt, kind, courteous and happy to teach me a few things. They pointed out some things that I need to do to prevent some other unrelated problems that will arise. They aren't licensed plumbers so they said I should call one for those issues. I really like that. They seem to care. Their rate is $35/hr, min 2 hrs. Really nice guy and his brother. As my granny would say, "good ol' country boys." Will definitely call again.
Description of Work: I had a dead animal smell somewhere in my kitchen and I could not find it through all the usual means. They did, but I need a plumber, too.

It went great. Howard always showed up when he said he would. If he had a delay, he would call well ahead of time. He was courteous and prices were very reasonable even with some on the fly redesign due to some minor design changes. Eventually, he made a well built, strong, and quite functional permanent fence and gate system that looks as intended. Howard was easy to work with, flexible, and communicated very well about job, materials pickup, and scheduling work at our home. I gave a tip because he and his crew did such a good job salvaging my design when it looked like it might not be strong enough. (the fence/gate system is quite sturdy) I cannot more highly recommend Handyman Howard and his small crew. They were a pleasure to work with and even picked up all the large materials I purchased at Home Depot because I could not get it home on my own. My project is now painted and looks fantastic.

The Provider showed up at the scheduled time and date. The job was simply to do some minor calking on a master bathroom shower, to prevent tiles from leaking. The provider has a two hour minimum rate, which I knew about when I hired him. He came with his assistant who performed the actual work, which took maybe 20 minutes at most. After I looked at the work some time later, I noticed that they missed an area that was supposed to be calked. I called the next day, and the provided came the following day to complete the task, at no additional cost. I was disappointed that the work was not completed correctly the first time. I don't think I will use this provider again.

Upon return to make amends for what was considered to be unsatisfactory the day before, I was under the impression that all was resolved. It would have been greatly appreciated to have been made aware at that time that it was still not satisfactory and everything possible would have been done to rectify the situation then and there. I pride myself both on my work and ratings/reviews and strive to keep my customers pleased with the quality of work performed on their behalf. As seen here on Angie's List I have an A rating and the workmanship provided to my customers reflects in what is seen by those looking for someone they can rely on and trust. In good faith and with appreciation of your having contacted me for doing the work you needed to have done I am going to have my office send you a $20.00 gift certificate/coupon good for up to one year to use towards a repair or needed work that may arise. It will give you $20.00 (twenty) dollars off the total price of the amount due at time of service rendered. As with all my customers, I only wish to accommodate and supply the very best of service and workmanship. If someone is not satisfied I will do my utmost to resolve the situation to a mutual agreement and satisfaction on both parts. Thank you again for initially contacting Handyman Howard Services and I hope that we will be able to do business with you again sometime in the future.

I needed to replace a chandelier in a 2-story entrance. After weeks of waiting to hear back from another handyman about when his tall ladder would be available and then finding out it wasn't tall enough, I got a quote from an electrician for $$$$$. When I called Howard, someone answered, gave me the info and set up the appointment. He came with someone else, they checked what size ladder was needed, rented it and installed the chandelier no problem. A few chains weren't hanging properly and they went back up to make sure it was perfect. Since there was a 2 hour minimum, I had them hang a rod in my laundry room too. Would definitely use again!!!

Response from Handyman Howard
As the receptionist I cannot fairly comment on this review being that I did not start working for the company until mid April. The only response that I can offer at this time and it's more in a question form. Is why has this individual waited until now to write a review and respond on Angie's List if the work was to have been done in March? Also, did the person have the correct phone number in which they were calling? I can only respond with the fact that I think the person should have left a message on Angie's List message center as well as the phone messages in case they had the wrong number. Also I think a review should have been written well before now since the work was to have been done in March and it's now November 11th. This individual actually should have called Angie's List and asked for a refund which they would have been given if they were disappointed.

Service never happened. The company was great about responding and wanting to schedule, however I bought the deal wanting a good portion of the work to be pressure washing. The provider didn't have a pressure washer, and I haven't found a reliable provider of one to borrow or rent. I thought I could come up with enough other projects to be done instead, but I don't have them to do. So I will instead spend the money on a pressure washer company to do the work since they provide the equipment.

Since work needed to be done at my rental unit, I made the initial contact and then they coordinated it. Once they agreed on a date, work was done efficiently and quickly!

After several attempts to secure Howard's services without success as he did not communicate, Howard came to install kitchen cabinets. He showed up late and upon removal of the old cabinets, he noted some drywall had to be repaired. He stated he did not do drywall even though it did not have to be taped or painted as it would have been concealed by the cabinets. He arrived 11:30, started at 12:00. He was gone at 2PM when the tenant was contacted, apparently returned at some point, and left at 4:30, failing to show the next day though he promised to and did not respond to phone calls. I had the drywall done in the interim so he could complete the job. Just not reliable, and I question why Howard was unable to hammer a couple pieces of drywall in place. Paid for a days work and don't even believe I got half that. Instead of having 1 person in to do all the work, I ended up with Howard, a person to do the drywall, then someone to complete the cabinets that he was supposed to

Response from Handyman Howard
It was explained in full to the person in charge that the work was above and beyond the cost of handyman work. It was complete general contractor work and there was rotted wood involved that needed removing and replacing. The work entailed much more than the handyman work paid for and would have cost much more in labor than the fee charged. Howard would have received basically nothing for his work. The statement made here in this review is false and completely unfair.

We called him because he had done good work for us on a previous occasion, but unfortunately this experience left us disappointed. Specifically, Howard never returned our call despite the fact that he had dealt with us before and knew who we were. He at least could have called to tell us that he wasn't interested in doing the job.

Howard was simply fantastic. He was right on time, worked incredibly hard throughout the day, and accomplished so much. I cannot say enough great things about him. We will absolutely have him back in the future. It was so nice to have someone finish up the tasks around the house that I needed done and to know that they were installed properly.

I had a new roof put on & of course some of the wood that the roofing company doesn't replace, I needed done....I called(again) Howard & his admin answered & got some time set aside for my needs....Howard came on time with his associate ready to work.....did a survey, decided what wood would need replacing, went to pick up lumber, returned & went to work.....I explained to Howard that I had a carpenter give me a price that was not in my ballpark & he assured me that he would not pad the bill by slowing down....I was happy with their work & the time frame that they finished.....I guess I will just keep using Handyman Howard !
