The Ultimate Handyman

We corresponded by email as a result of listing on this site, then I called him the morning of 7/19/21. He was here within two hours and completed the job quickly and accurately.

Nathan came in and knew just what to do and fixed it the next day.

I paid for professionalism, labor and timely completion of a job given the tight time window of fair weather conditions that existed. I am satisfied with the job outcome. I paid $2,395 for the paint job/prep and related tasks. I paid $50 for the peep hole. I paid $95 for the repair of the lower base of the front entrance columns. The last three tasks were performed gratis. As he himself stated, Mr. Weatherby's name and reputation is on all the completed work. Mr. Weatherby likes to paint.

Very well. Took care of it quickly.

Went very well. He was very prompt and showed up when he said he would.

In preparation to sell our house we had a couple things that needed to be done to put our house on the market. After a failed attempt using another handyman we did some more research and decided to give the Ultimate Handyman a call. My husband contacted Nathan (the owner) so he could come take a look at the work we wanted done in order to give us an estimate. He wasn't able to make it out on the agreed upon time so he called to reschedule. He came out to look at the job we wanted done on March 13th. We explained what we wanted done and he told us what he would be able to do for the scratched wood floors in our formal dining room and our damaged kitchen cabinet. He also told us he would provide us an estimate the same day and that if we decided to go with him that he could begin on Monday. I thought it was a bit pricey but after reviewing our previous estimate we realized it wasn't that much more than the other handyman we tried working with. We contacted Nathan and told him that we would like him to do the work. He said they would begin on Monday. So we went out that weekend and bought the stain and paint so that they could get started. When I got home from work on Monday I found Nathan and his team hard at work, they had power washed most of the house and deck and were finishing up the fence. They had also painted our 1400 sq ft basement and were in the process of repairing the wood floor and cabinet. They even repaired a window stool in the formal dining room that I was going to do myself that weekend (at no cost). They were able to match some stain to the wood floor so that we didn't have to pull up or completely refinish our floors. They also were able to do the same thing to one of our kitchen cabinets that had some mild water damage. I didn't know at the time that they were going to paint the whole basement that day as there were some areas of drywall that I was still mudding and had to sand again before it would be paint ready. The painter ended up painting over these areas before he should have but when I pointed them out to him he said he would fix them all the next day when they came back to stain. His team returned Tuesday and sanded and remudded all the areas of drywall (even some extra spots that I didn't point out). They stained our deck and fence both which look great. His team will be coming back next week to finish our trim work after my husband and I get the concrete floor stained this weekend. Nathan was easy to get a hold of and stayed in communication with my husband via phone and text. He is on site with his team to supervise which is good. We will use them again if we need anything else.

He had to do an electrical readjustment of our six smoke alarms. He did an excellent job. He also power washed and painted the exterior of our house. He had a helper with him to do this job. He was very pleasant and personable. He did a few odd jobs too. The toilet paper holder in my bathroom was defective with a hole in the wall; he repaired that as well at no charge. He was so good at his job that we decided to have him come back to enclose our porch. He was very reasonable price-wise. He just charged me $2,670 for all the jobs; other businesses were going to charge over $3,000 for just painintg. He called in advance to let us know he was on his way. He charged by the job, not hourly. He is going to be our handyman; he does it all.

Had to have him come out several times to re-due areas that were really done crappy. Finally after having him come out 3 times my husband and decided to get someone else to fix his mess. We will not use him again, nor do we recommend him.

Wonderful experience. Professional and responsible.

The Ultimate Handyman was great. It took him about four days to do the whole job. He's a people person. He's very knowledgeable and very customer oriented. He wants to satisfy the customer.

Nathan was prompt and on time for giving the estimate and doing the work.  He didn't give me a written estimate(which I prefer), but he did do what was verbally agreed to.  He called me with any questions or any suggestions during the work.  He suggested adding a couple more downspouts on my gutters which was needed.  The painting and repair was done nicely and they cleaned up when finished.  Nathan even mounted some new outside lights without charge.

Mr. Weatherby is a seasoned handyman and excellent adviser for the homeowner. He advised me on the proper color and style of my roofing shingles to get the best look from my home. He was patient with me during my deliberation over choosing the roofing tiles. I went with his suggestion on style and color and I could not be happier! I love my new roof! My home looks nicer than ever and I have had several neighbors compliment me on the looks of my new roof.

I will definitely recommend the Ultimate Handyman to my friends.

This was all told in the previous section.  Please refer to it.  I am sorry to have to complain but overall the work was sloppy.  Nathan did come when he said he would to give an estimate, to do the work, etc

10/9/2011  UPDATE:  I have had to replace the toilet in my bathroom which Mr. Weatherby and his helpers moved from the hall bath in July or August.  I noticed that it "rocked" on the wax ring that it was sitting on and finally it became very difficult to flush.  Had a professional plumbing service take a look at it and they reported that it would have cracked sooner or later.  The tank was too wide for the space available (due to a construction error made 18 years ago where the hole for the commode was cut too close to the wall) but Nathan "made" it fit which was also causing problems.  I estimate that this cost me approximately $400 more dollars (you remember that I initially paid Nathan almost $7000 to do all these jobs for me)

Also, Nathan replaced two windows for me.  They were not sealed properly and one would not stay open.  Also, one of the window sills was rotted clear through to the outside; I thought Nathan surely replaced the windowsill.  No, he used the famous caulking trick to fill the hole, leaving rotted wood in the house.  This wood rot was caused by shrubbery keeping it damp behind them - they were originally planted too close to the house but they have been gone for about 18 months now.  I am now going to have to pay a professional window installation company $200 to repair what was not done at the initial installation.

Nathan needs to learn to make an itemized statement for his services.  My mistake was not insisting that he do one.  He charged me all this $$ and I had to purchase the materials myself besides.  The window company is furnishing the windows, hardware, etc. and it will cost me less than one of Nathan's unprofessional jobs. 

Please do not use this company for any of your work if you want it done correctly.  I learned about this after the fact.  I think he took advantage of the fact the my husband passed away in March and was not here to oversee things.

i called for a quote and he came right on over! He gave us the option to replace the molding or to patch it the best he could. Both quoted prices seemed reasonable, but we opted to just patch it. He also did a quick patched on another spot for us too.
I called a month later about a carpet repair job that he was unable to fix so he gave me the name and number of someone who could help. Great guy!

I couldn't be more happier!  I would highly recommend giving him a call and having him do your next home project!
