It was GREAT! The headrail of my patio blind had suddenly started to fall out from the ceiling. I sent a message to GPU on a Saturday and Ian got back to me really fast. He offered to come the next morning (on a Sunday!) He was right on time and fixed the problem. He's a very nice and trustworthy man and I definitely recommend him. Thanks again Ian! Lucie :)

Not honest with pricing. Hired Ian to repair my fence. He did a good job and did not charge a lot. So I asked him for a quote to repair some siding on the house, repair some wood root on my deck and garage, and paint. I decided to only hire him to do the repairs because his paint quote was double what others quoted me. We agree On a price for only the repairs. Mid way he tells me the entire deck needs replacement. I ask him how much additional it would cost. He then tells me and starts to get back to work. But at the end of the job he hits me up for more money. Tells me the original amount was only for the supplies. And to top it off, he didn’t repair the garage! He left saying “he had to get home”. He did tell me “his painters” would match my other painting quote and that they could finish his work on my garage since he had to go. These “painters” he had weren’t professional. Showed up when they felt like it, sometimes for an hour or 2 a day, got paint on my furniture, didn’t come for days at a time but at least they “finished” the repairs on the garage that Ian left for them (it does not look professional). Then Ian hits me up a week after I paid the painters for more money claiming he paid the painters to finish his repairs. Not exactly professional. Sometimes it’s better to hire people you know who may charge a little more than to have an experience where people aren’t honest. And to top it off, Ian’s wood work isn’t that good. Boards on the deck are crooked. On one part of the deck he told me “it looks ok, it’s not my best”. I would look somewhere else if I was looking for repairs.
Response from G.P.U. HANDYMAN SERVICES LLC
"First to address this clients review- the painting of his house I recommended the painters and i told the client that he would be dealing directly with them. The reason for this was that i was not marking up their labor to make a profit so dainel the client hired them not me i only made the contact so any issues he had with them is not a reflection of my work and work ethics. Second about honesty . When [Member Name Removed] the client explained to me what he wanted done i gave him a price based on what he wanted to spend. I specifically told him and recommended that he replace his entire step runners and treads he said just price to change 4 or five of the step boards . This was also what he said about the deck floor boards price to change 4 rotted ones When i started the job i stopped and called him because there was excessive wood decay. He still did not want to replace the step but oked changing all the step boards ( this was triple the work on the steps. The deck i recommended changing all floor boards for safety and esthetics. He asked me how much more it would cost abd i told him materials would be $400 more and that labor would be a little more. “ ok i will check with my wife” a few minutes later he said go for it. Instead of changing 4-5 16ft lengths of deck board we redid the entire flooring of the deck (20 boards) when we were done i went over the completed job with him. He was totally satisfied saying wow it looks good that aa really changed a lot of the cedar siding . At that point i told him that i did not like the step work but that i made it safe and that there was no way to make it better since he did not want to replace the step like I recommended. He said that was what he wanted. At that point he said he would Venmo us the money and i told him we needed $400 more for the labor for the deck- i did not charge him for the extra work the stairs . He was not happy with that but paid us he failed to remember when i said that there would be an extra labor charge . The only part of the job i did not do was repair the garage door. I did not charge him because i had not done it yet ($300) i however made arrangements with the painter to patch the garage door which the painter did - and did it the way i explained to [Member Name Removed] that it would have been done. Three weeks later after contacting the painters to ensure he had repaired it i texted [Member Name Removed] for payment of the $300 and that started this entire dialogue. Bottom line is he never paid for fir the garage door repair and instead of texting back and forth i told him forget it and to have a great Christmas. Then the bad reviews. Check my reviews!! All A except for his ."
