Woodworking, Siding + 1 more
Handyman service responded in an excellent time frame. Within 2 days of calling Paul Commons showed up. We had a vertices flat siding on a portion of our home and we wanted to change the look by putting 8" lap board horizontal over it. He did the measuring to include a moisture barrier and framing around 3 Windows. Normally the homeowner has the materials at the house, but we weren't sure of how much of what to get. He charged a minimal fee to pick up what we needed. We wanted 8" of lap siding to show to match the rest of the house. This meant we needed a 10" board because 2" is placed under each board. When he went to order, they did not have 10" board, but did have 12" board, but not in stock and would have to be ordered. Since my wife wanted the 8" instead of another size he would order, but would have to take it to his shop and cut 2" off each one. He charged a very reasonable fee to pick up and cut the boards to the size we needed. Would be 1 - 2 weeks before the special order came in. We planned on a date and it was installed on that date. He had to custom cut some pieces to fit around the windows as well as framing. Caulked everything. Siding was pre primed ready to paint. Paul did a outstanding job and would ask for him everytime.

I called the company and spoke with the daughter of the owner, Ashley. Â She took my information and notified me that a contractor would contact me. Â I was contacted later that day and the contractor, Marty, arranged to come to my house to provide an estimate. Â Marty was on time and provided me with a fair quote for the work to be performed. Â I confirmed my intent of contacting with the company and Marty was scheduled to start the work 2 days later. Â
Day 1:  Marty was early.  He went straight to work.  From 10am to 4:30pm, Marty worked non-stop.  I previously had a bad experience with a handyman, so I went into this job with concerns, however, Marty put all of the those concerns at ease.  He is a professional who is proud of his work and has the experience to complete a job the 'right' way. Old school and I'll take that!  Marty cleaned up before he left and informed me that he would return the next morning at 11am.
Day 2: Â Marty was on time, and just as the previous day, he went straight to work. Â I was not able to stay to until Marty completed the job, however, when I left at 4pm, he informed me that he would finish and shut the house when he was done. Â I came home at 9pm, and true to his word, the job was beautifully completed. Â I couldn't be more pleased. Â Very professional gentleman who knows his stuff. Â Handyman Connection should be indebted to employees like Marty. Â I have a few other jobs that need to be completed, and I will definitely have Marty return to do the work.

Workman came Tuesday to look over job and gave me a labor quote. After I gave the go ahead, he came back on Thursday.
We went to Lowes together and he selected the materials he would need and I paid for them ($250). He then built the handrails
and installed the weather stripping. He also adjusted the strike plates on the door frame so the door closed more tightly.
He did a fine professional job.

I was quite satisfied with the work done until I discovered by accident after the installation that the "hood" that directs combustion gases from the top of the water heater to the flue was not held in place by screws, with the result that it could have easily been knocked out of place, at which time my basement would be the destination of carbon-monoxide gases that are intended to be exhausted to the outside via the flu.
I was quite concerned, especially because the proper connection could have been made in less than 5 minutes using screws from my supply. (The workman's excuse for not completing the job, as I was told by the HC owner, was that there were no screws included in the packaging. Please!!!!!).
Having had second-hand experience with a death from CO, I was very disturbed by this event and underscored that concern by asking for a refund of the entire cost of the installation.
I was willing to accept less than a total reimbursement, but that opportunity did not present itself.
During my phone conversation with the HC owner, he focused entirely on the (un)reasonableness of my refund proposal and failed to in any way acknowledge the seriousness or potential consequences of the workman's egregious failure.
At one point in our phone conversation, the HC owner said something (??) that convinced me that he and I were in different books -- forget about the same page -- at which time I said "put it in writing" and hung up on him.
His subsequent writing announced his decision to refund my money on the condition that I "never contact HC again for any reason whatsoever"
I can live without HC.
Somewhat ironically -- prior to this very bad experience, I had many interactions with HC with which I was more than pleased.
My assessment is that the owner would benefit from remedial instruction in empathy.

Response from Handyman Connection of Carmel
"We are very sorry that the customer was dissatisfied with our work as we had done many projects with him in the past. The post however is not completely correct. Our licensed plumber installed this for him and the damper per instructions does not require the screws to work effectively. In any case we offed to come back and put the screws in for him but during our conversation, that was not a option. Right from the beginning he demanded a full refund and did not offer any other solution. At the end of the day he did not want to pay anything for any of the instillation for what would have been a 5 minute fix. In all service work accidents can happen and customers understand this. We are sorry for his experience and wish him the best in all of future home improvement needs."

Excellent. Before he came, I got a co formation email with his photo and he also called me 30 minutes before the appointment to confirm. He inspected a punch list of items that I thought he could do but they were outside of the scope of what a "handyman" does. Nonetheless, he removed some paneling to inspect the source of some moisture and referred me to a roofing specialist. He was very thorough in his explanation of everything and very courteous. I'll be keeping his contact info and will certainly be using him again. I'd highly recommend Handyman Connection.

We bought the deal of $499 for a day. We needed the the shower and bathtub to be re-caulked because of mildew. The house is 10 years old and other than some mildew everything in the shower was perfectly fine. Ron did the job. It wasn't a clean look but at least the mildew was gone. But what we didn't know is he actually created a bigger problem.
Less than 6 months later, in January this year, we noticed the caulking in one of the corners that he re-caulked was cracking and had holes. By the time we noticed it, the water would have already got under neath the bench and the corner of the bench was already warped. We called them. Ron came. We expressed our concern about the water damage but Ron told us there shouldn't be any water damage and he would just re-caulk it again. So we thought, okay, he's the expert. We just went with it.
Now less than 1 month later, the caulk is cracking again. Ron came and checked it out, told us we need tile work and he would tell his office. When I called the office to follow up, the owner told me that they are not going to fix the shower under warranty. He stated that based on what Ron told him, there is water damage and the problem is not the caulking he did, but the grout, which is not re-sealed every year due to homeowner's negligence. When I pushed him for answers, he agreed with me that there is no grout underneath the bench, just mortar (or glue) and then caulking between the bench and the tiles. So I said how would grout cause leaking when there is no grout in play here at all. I also told him the bench was not warped before Ron re-caulked it. He wouldn't change his "conclusion" and even indicated it's "convenient" for homeowners to blame their handymen work so they can get their problems fixed for free. I couldn't believe my ears! Was he calling me a liar because I want them to fix the problem they created in the first place?!?
I was (still am) in shock at how unprofessional he is, how he could draw conclusion without doing an inspection, or even looking at some pictures, but simply based on what he heard from his staff, not to mention how quickly he attacks the integrity of customers when he tries to get out of his warranty responsibility.
Needless to say, I'm very disappointed. Now I have a bigger problem created by them. If you do end up using them, make sure to take tons of pictures before, during, and after. Even with that, be prepared to be called a liar if things go wrong and substantial work is needed to fix the problem.

I am very happy I called Handyman Connection. They had Gary at my house with a completed estimate before the other company even called me back. Before the appointment I received an email about Gary and the date of his last background check. That was nice but I was very comfortable with Gary and he seems very trustworthy. He could have used the weather as an excuse but he spent extra time traveling to my house and then braved the weather outside my house. I wanted to do more extensive work but Gary explained why it was not my best option. On the other hand he found some issues that really do need to be fixed. He was also very open about what he can do and what might require a differ et craftsman. This gave me a lot of trust in his recommendations and the work we will schedule. The price on the estimate also seems very reasonable . I'm not crazy about having to go buy the materials myself, but it will be worth the trouble if we get someone who's skillful and trustworthy at such a good price. Based on this meeting, we'll probably work with this company for a long time.

"[Member Name Removed], We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations. We will work to do better and thanks for the feed back regarding booties. We will speak to the Craftsman involved to make sure it does not happen again. As far as individual estimates, we do go to great lengths on our profile to explain that our normal procedure is to give a package discount to all of our customers. It's much cheaper for the customer to have their work done as a package and allows us to give our best price. Complete breakdowns of individual pricing can be obtained upon request and we are happy to do them so a customer can budget their money but in the end it usually means extra trips to the home requiring extra time and cost more. We apologize if that was misunderstood, but we try to go to great lengths to explain to all Angie's List customers how we operate in our profile. We appreciate your feedback, so we can try to get all of our Angie's List customers to read any company's profile before they call. It is good practice for every consumer to help eliminate surprises. We appreciate the opportunity to give you a free estimate and wish you good luck with your project."
