she was awesome, however you sent a housekeeper a second time which I did not ask for and did not use but you withdrew the money from my bank anyway. I would like my money back and please take me off your list

Paid up front and scheduled in advance to when the job absolutely needed to be done. The company rescheduled me 3 times all the way up to my crunch date of needing the house then terminated the cleaning appointment all together. This was a horrible experience and I truly needed this done and now I am scrambling to try to find someone else to be ready by Friday, I will never use this service again. Sorely disappointed.

Avoid this company. I scheduled service for Saturday morning at 11:00. Two hours before it was due to start I received a text from Handy saying they were canceling and moving the service to Monday. That is completely unacceptable - both the last minute cancellation, and not asking me for a preferred reschedule time. And they have already charged my credit card for $195, BEFORE any work was performed! In parallel with this, their phone app and website appear to be broken and are not allowing new accounts to be set up, so I have been not been fully certain that I even had a reservation. I am very disappointed in their customer experience. I will never use Handy again.

Good. Brandy was very complete. Would make job easier if Brandy Jaber were to be MY PRO, then would not need to repeat what needs to be done each time.

I requested a morning cleaning because I had guests coming. I talked to an agent and set it all up. On the day of the cleaning, I get a text at the time the pro was supposed to come saying it had been cancelled. Highly unprofessional service providers to not have someone else come or even call to schedule another pro to come. Will never book with them again.

It didn't. I ended up hiring someone locally. Baseboards not done which was one one the things specified. Dusting wasn't done, said she was to dust around everything. Shower wasn't touched. Still had cobwebs. Again, I had requested deep cleaning. Was suppose to be here from 11-3. Staring cleaning around 11:30, I left home approximately 11:45 got home approximately 2 and she was outside getting ready to leave. Paid $153 received credit of $76 for future services. Why would I use Handy ever again?!

Really nice. The service man was nice. The only thing I did not like. I have a 55'' TV to put up on wall and there was only one man so I had to help. No clean-up after either.

They came out to put my bed together - the company actually shipped me the wrong bed, so they came out two weeks later. I booked a handyman to put together my bed.

Everything went well. I have no complaints. He came, had the tools, brought his stuff in, put it together, took him no time, put all the packaging back together and took it back outside. I loved it.

I had ordered a night stand and he came in and put it together. he put two screws on the outside of the nightstand, making two big visible holes. He said he would fix it, he admitted to using the wrong screws. I paid for this, and it was his mistake, and my furniture. I told him I wasn't going to accept this. I got my money back from the night stand, and the assembly fee. The screws catch on both drawers, so they won't go in.

The first person that came out was two hours late - I rescheduled and they sent me a lady that told me she couldn't put the bed together by herself. I had to reschedule again. The last guy that came out did a great job.
