Andy Sjostrom Handyman Services

Superb job by David on repair on pocket door. No easy job as he had to take the door frame off to make repair. Besides the quality repair, what impressed us the most was his respect for our home. He prepped the area meticulously to keep the dust away from the rest of the house. He also took the extra effort to minimize the damage to the door frame.... nothing broke and he was able to put everything back together. Just a little painting that we did ourselves. This is not the first time I have had Andy Sjostrom's team in our home. Two years ago, they assisted with a bathroom remodel. Again, a wonderful job. I strongly recommend Andy and his team.

Sjostrom called to apologize for not responding. Previously rated him an F

I'm always happy with them and we've been using them for multiple times now.

The crew at Andy Sjostrom Handyman Services, especially Andy, was fantastic. My husband and I had a dormer breaking up our shower, making it impossible for anyone over 5'9" to shower. We knew we wanted a quality remodel but were reticent to hire a full blown designer. We interviewed and received quotes from several groups (including contractors, designers, and handyman services) and felt the most comfortable with Andy. His proposal was the most innovative and creative use of the space and demonstrated a firm knowledge of older homes in our area. Instead of relying on the common "well, this is just an estimate until we open the walls," Andy was quick to provide an informed opinion with solid reasoning to justify his quote. During the remodel itself, we couldn't have been happier with the service provided. Living in an older Oak Park home, taking care of property was paramount. This was also a priority to Andy. Everything was protected in a thorough manner. Andy treated our home with respect and a level of care that was beyond our expectations. The work itself was thorough and precise, consulting us frequently for our advice or preferences on numerous things. Our remodel always felt like we were involved. Furthermore, Andy was incredibly helpful in advising us on design features, something that wasn't part of his job, yet he advised regardless. He helped us talk through stains and potential designs for our custom vanity, called our medicine cabinet producer for clarification, walked us through what is common in our area for bathroom accessories and never tried to upsell us. When trying to decide how luxurious to take our shower, Andy was practical and provided pros and cons of all options. Even Matt, a project manager for the group, sat with us when we were shopping for our shower system. Every person who came into our home for the project (including carpentry, tiling, and plumbing) was professional and polite, introducing themselves to us and showing us their progress daily. Andy has been especially communicative even after the project, from checking in to see how things are working to making small adjustments and even providing recommendations for other providers in the area who can help with smaller projects outside his scope. From start to finish, every person associated with Andy Sjostrom Handyman services made it a smooth remodel. Even though the company is identified as a handyman company, this truly is a full service construction group, who we would hire for any additional remodels and recommend to friends. We feel so fortunate to have worked with this amazing organization.

Very Well. Andy Coordinated all schedules and had to juggle many schedules in the project plan. He is uniquely trustworthy.

It didn't. I called Andy's number, got someone calling himself Matt, who said he would come out. Two days later, at 15 minutes past the appointed time, I called him. Upshot, he had forgotten the appointment. So he's wasted two days of my time and I'm back at square one. Don't know if "MattTheGoodHandyman" contracts to Sjostrum, who lists as 'TheGoodHandyman.com' or what, but I will never consider these guys again. I guess I just want people who exhibit professional competence and courtesy working on my property.

The job went very well. My call to Andy Sjostrom's office was promptly handled. I provided some pictures by email and they were able to give a rough estimate of the cost. A few days later, Katie arrived onetime and was very professional in assessing the problem. It turned out there was not any ongoing water damage so she was able to remove the water damaged floor panel and rebuild the underpinnings and put a new cabinet floor in 3 sections...which will be easy to remove should this problem ever reoccur in the future. We were very pleased with the work and will be using Andy Sjostsrom Inc. services again in the future.

Andy was prompt, worked through my list efficiently, explained some electrical oddities he found (we just moved in). Not the cheapest service around, but I definitely felt everything was done properly and won't need to be redone.

Very well and professionally completed.

Andy and his team are great. They did an incredible job with our doors. Andy really spends the time necessary to understand what is needed. Definitely will hire again.

Andy and crew were timely and very professional. I was impressed by the quality of the work as well as the quality of the clean-up. They left the house better than they found it. All repairs were completed according to the plan we had agreed upon. I was very pleased with the service and would definitely hire again.

Andy was friendly, thoughtful, and professional. The work was well done.

After making multiple calls to various contractors, and having most not even return phone calls(including some on Angie's list) I called Andy and left a message. They got back to me quickly, and took the time to come out and look at the situation to get a better idea of work to be done. They arrived as scheduled, and got back to me with a price after looking for parts, etc. We then agreed to have the work done, and they scheduled and made arrangements with my tenant to have the work done at an agreeable time. They came and completed the work at the scheduled time. From my experience, this is a excellent and well run, professional company, whom I would highly recommend. They are busy and in high demand for a very good reason. Many thanks!

After a little challenge getting the info needed to get the permit, Andy and his team showed up on time and managed through all of the village issues. We are very happy with the quality of the project .

It went very well, I'd hire Andy again!

Great. Punctual. Professional and costs for labor are appropriate. Final billing still pending on some of the work.

It went very well. He is a very nice fellow. He is honest. If someone is looking for the cheapest, it is not him.

He was back within an hour, put in the longer screw and door worked perfectly! He was very helpful about some other questions we had on the door and side windows and did not charge us for this job, that had been driving us crazy. He was extremely knowledgeable, willing and able---and very nice. We would call him again in a heartbeat.

It went very well.....Andy and his Helper are very good at what they do. Everything was fixed though a couple of different trips were made.

They were great! The team was fast and friendly. We will hire them again for general handyman needs.

He has been here back and again. I have used him for multiple thing. He's wonderful. He's professional. He won't lead you astray. He's very straightforward, honest, updated tools, equipment and systems.

Totally knowledgeable and professional. Hire this man! I would have him back in a minute. If I need anything, he is now my go-to fellow. He takes his work very seriously, he is conscientious. I am delighted that he could get this all done. Again, very conscientious, hard working, and communicates very well and is very respectful. I was delighted when he called me to say he would be a few minutes late the second day, as he was still at Home Depot picking up wood and more drywall. I really appreciated that. I trusted him so much that I was gone from the house for much of the day, and just left him do his thing. I couldn't put in the amount paid yet, as I am waiting on the final bill. I kept adding on a little more to the initial project...

Responsive and came out quickly to provide an estimate. Both jobs were done professionally.

Everything went extremely well. Andy came out the next morning to look at the job and was immediately able to start. He highlighted that their was a risk that the corners might not be smooth (the risk didn't materialize). He then made the cut and cleaned it up. As we were moving the refrigerator back in place, we realized that the cabinet doors would be rubbing against the refrigerator. Andy then raised the cabinet doors. Ultimately it looks as if it was designed this way. Andy did a great job and I'd be very willing to hire him again.

He did an awesome job! More importantly he was encouraging towards my continued DY- work and polite about pointing out the mistakes while highlighting the things I did right. We will be hiring them again for sure. Most handymen of my experience are condescending whenever called in to correct a mistake made by an amateur. Andy was the opposite and thereby has won a devoted customer.
