Description of Work: Always a great job done. Quality service at a great price. Very trustworthy, always punctual. Has been doing work for us for over 10 years and we are always happy with results. He is multi-talented but will always say if the job is beyond his capabilities (very few are) and can recommend the right person for the job. You will never regret working with "The Irish Handyman"!

Francis did a great job and gave us a fair price. The work was incredibly extensive including work to install drain tiles in basement and major waterproofing. It was a total gut rehab and Francis had to be innovative and flexible to deal with our budget. The basement looks great and has basically doubled our living space including a new bathroom and bedroom in the basement. We had a couple of issues with the fan in the bathroom and a minor detail here or there that Francis made time to come and remedy immediately. Francis is extremely conscientious and careful and wants to make sure to do his best work and make sure his customer is 100% satisfied with the work. He is a local contractor who lives in our neighborhood and has developed a very strong reputation in the community.
Description of Work: Complete basement renovation with installation of new bathroom and bedroom. Also did an upstairs bathroom for us.

I used The Irish Handyman for some things on my house and he has done very good work. He is very honest and he does very good work. Their price is fair. Price depends on the job. I used them a year ago for bathroom remodeling.

I contacted Francis and he came in a timely fashion. As we discussed the project, he listened carefully to what I wanted and gave some helpful suggestions. For example, I thought I wanted a heated floor, but he advised me that that would not give me the amount of heat I needed for the basement bathroom. While he was at my home, he did a few small handyman projects on the spot. He provided a written, detailed contract for the bathroom a few days later. While working on the project, Francis made sure at every step that he informed me of what he was doing and why and he was very concerned that I would be completely happy when he was finished. He also tried to keep the surrounding area clean and cleaned up thoroughly when he was finished. I had told Francis that I did not have a set deadline for this project, so the start time was delayed several times due to his working on another project. However, once he started on my project, he worked every day until completion. Sometimes you have to remind Francis of things and he does not always respond to phone calls immediately, but if you are willing to work with him, you wi

The Irish Handyman came out to assess the work we wanted done. He was supposed to follow up with an estimate. Never responded. We also had some basic repairs that we wanted at our rental home (a second location). We emailed about this project and he said he would go to the house to take a look - again he never responded after saying he had not done it yet but would get back to us. I'm glad we didn't end up working with him because if this is how a contractor responds BEFORE getting the business, imagine how the actual remodeling process would go.
Description of Work: - Tile work & re-grouting - Ventilation in the basement (via glass block windows) - Replace damaged dry wall - Repainting outside door of rental home

More than 2 hours were wasted waiting -- not a way to win satisfied customers!
Description of Work: I made an appointment to get an estimate for some repair work I needed to have done. At the agreed time, he did not show up nor did he call to explain, cancel, or reschedule.

Very well.
Description of Work: For some time we have needed to repair the frame and brick materials surrounding our overhead garage door. We did not know who to consult. The garage door firm we asked for an estimate, etc. referred us to Francis. He removed and then re-tuckpointed cement blocks, and added bolts that he soldered into a metal brace, etc. Our new garage door now fits tightly at the top and bottom. It closes completely, which it did not do before the repairs.
