We tell them what needs to be done and they complete the work. They are efficient with their time. They charge by the hour and consolidate jobs. They clean up all the mess. They are very tidy. They follow up on their work very well.
Description of Work: They did some interior and exterior painting, some caulking in the bathroom, new lighting and electrical work. Some smaller jobs around the home.

We thought the price was a little high considering the work he had done. The work is charged on a hourly basis. The work done was completed in timely manner. He was a conscientious worker. When we needed him to come back and fix something he missed he came right away. We have no complaints, but at the time we thought price was little high.
Description of Work: Replace rotten wood on the front porch, rotted post on the front porch, he fixed the seals around the window, some painting on the replacement work. He bought the paint and equipment, he brought us receipt.

There policy is no estimate. The work took twice as long anticipated and therefore twice as expensive.

I called Handyman Matters as I needed outside work done which involved climbing on to the roof. I was told there was a $40.00 first time traveling fee plus $80.00 an hour. Jorge came and worked quickly and did what he could the first day. The job involving the fascia and soffit required 2 people. Jorge picked up the soffit pieces that day and returned the next day to complete the work with the help of the second person. I had some left over fascia boards which Jorge used carefully so that he could do the job using the materials on hand. Jorge could not get the plastic soffit materials, but got metal. This turned out to be great as the squirrels were eating the plastic pieces. We ordered the wood for the deck, which was an unusual size, and scheduled the work for the following week. There was a problem with the power washer and Jorge got the small deck cleaned, but could not do the planter box or stairs. The wood came in the following week and was installed. It rained that week and work was delayed a couple of weeks and completed. The arrangements were made that I would pay at the end of each work day for the work done that day. Jorge would go over the day's work with me before presenting a bill. I would use this service again, but was sorry to learn that Jorge was no longer with the company.
Description of Work: Had the roof cleared of leaves and branches. Removed old TV antenna. Replaced all corners of the roof with new pieces of fascia board and painted the boards. Replaced all of the soffit strips with new metal pieces. Replaced 7 boards on small deck with new boards and painted. Power washed small deck before replacing and painting. Power washed outside wooden planter and outline of stairs and patio. Painted when dry.

We liked the friendliness of the handyman, Mel. He worked very hard and did a good job. He seemed skilled in the area of carpentry. We only knew of 1 step that was broken, but he identified that there were several that needed to be repaired.
Description of Work: They rebuilt 6 stairs that were loose in the basement stair wall. He also re-hung a door that was incorrectly hung.

Daniel was about 30 minutes late and had NO materials with him to do the jobs that were required. I should have been told that the company supplied ONLY labor and tools and that ALL materials for the job were to be supplied by me. If I'd known that, I would have been prepared. Instead, they expected me to pay $80/hr while he went shopping for the materials! Aside from that, they wanted me to pay $80 for the call (which I had expected) PLUS $40 for a service charge, which was not indicated when I spoke to the office. Overall, it was not a happy experience.

The job went fairly well. I ended up having to help the worker with the plumbing though. I felt like he spent way too much time on it, and I should've called a plumber for the plumbing work. He was a great woodworker though, and the truss work went really well.

Handyman arrived late (although he did call). He told me the flooring contractor was wrong, that nothing needed to be done to the floor. Even I could tell that the plywood needed to be replaced. He also made what I felt were inappropriate and possibly racist remarks about my neighborhood, and said he saw people "eye-ing" his truck. $40.00 later he was on his way and I went with another handyman service.
Description of Work: I needed a section of sub-floor replaced before the previously contracted installers put in my laminate floor. The flooring people would not replace it, and would not install the floor until that section had been repaired.

Tom came out less than 24 hours after my initial call, and finished the job in 5 hours. The work was professionally done, with a polite, friendly attitude. We were given a senior discount on the price, although we didn't know one was available and thus had not asked for it..

Called and the office manager answered after discussing what looked to be a possible positive experience after I requested to have an estimate done. I fully explained that I would pay $40 for a quality estimate. Her narrow mindedness kept saying "it is our company s policy to charge a $40 show up fee and a mandatory 1 hour fee of $80." Keep in mind folks that it is MANDATORY. I informed her that I couldn t have the work done then; it would be at a later time. She said with side blinders on, "we have to charge $40 show up fee and 1 hour fee of $80." Not only are you taking advantage of people by forcing them to use their services, but for having the narrowest vision out of all contractors I have dealt with. You definitely receive an A for first class in being so short sighted!
