Vince Curcio - The Bizzzy Bee

Very well.

great job on the lights

It went well. Vince and the Bizzzy Bee crew came through for me again. Gary did a great job and installed an electrical outlet at a fair price.

It went fine. I don't remember, it's been a while since the service. It's been about a year since the service. It was more than $180 because we added more stuff to do. I don't remember how much it was. Um I'm not sure I don't remember. It was my husband's house that we were trying to sell.

They repaired the screen door and after discussing the shed door, I decided to let them build new custom shed door with a better hinged system. So the price included the materials for the new door. I'm extremely happy with the custom made door and the repair of the screen door. I will absolutely not hesitate to use Vince again with any work I have. Thanks Vince and his man that did the actual work, TR. Great job!

The Bizzy Bee came to my house and did a great job replacing 3 windows and siding. This is my 2nd time hiring them and would hire again if needed. Thanks guys!

The handyman was very polite. But he did not give an estimate for the jobs needed. After a full day of work (7 hours) he had only repaired the drip in the toilet and partially completed 2 other tasks. When we asked him how much longer he thought those 2 tasks would take he said he had no idea. He worked the entire next day and did repair the screens, but not the screen door. We cancelled any further jobs because we had already racked up 13.5 hours of labor, which was $607.50. That was not counting materials. Our total bill was $831.29 and after consulting with another handyman service, it should have been less than $300.00.

Brizzzy Bee was very nice and professional. Workers was on time and did a very nice job. I was really happy with the work that was done. If I ever need work done again they would be the first one I would call.

Well. Staff is courteous and want to satisfy the customer.

I asked the company to discover and repair the source of a warped board in my guest bathroom and to replace the board. The worker lifted the toilet to replace a wax ring; he put epoxy on the existing board and re-set it. It remains out of alignment with the rest of the flooring (not flat). He never discussed additional costs for labor to lift and replace the board. In subsequent communications, the owner has provided THREE DIFFERENT reasons for why this work was not performed. I asked the company to replace my kitchen faucet. The worker, who admitted he is a roofer (versus a plumber or true, multi-disciplined handyman) by profession, did not know how to turn the water off to my entire condo (versus just the sink itself) and did not tell me that he was not authorized to replace valves, which proved to be part of the necessary work. He sent me to Lowe's to purchase parts in the wrong size or that are nonexistent. I only got the right ones thanks to the professionals there. He advised me to find out how to shut the water off and that when I did, he would return to complete the repairs. Instead, the owner told me that I would have to call a plumber to complete the repair because his workers are not allowed to replace valves. He said he advised his employee to tell me this, but he did not. I asked the company to replace my bathroom faucet. The worker did so, but left me with a host of new issues, including significantly reduced water pressure and significantly increased wait time for hot water to arrive in the sink. I did not have these issues before the faucet was replaced. The owner of the company blames these brand-new issues on my selection of faucet rather than his employee's incompetence. When a trained professional plumber came to my home to make the kitchen faucet repairs that were not made by this company, he was able to resolve my bathroom faucet issues with a few simple, quick tweaks. The owner of the company, who came to my home on July 4 to assess the situation, responded to my July 7 request for a status update and discussion of a partial refund with a lengthy personal-attack email, among other things calling me passive-aggressive and ignorant, accusing me of demanding free service, “verbal and attitudinal abuse" and, most unbelievably, calling into question my faith with the words: "I hope that you find your place at the foot of the cross." This sanctimonious self-righteousness is entirely inappropriate in a business setting, as is this completely unwarranted personal attack on me. I hired this company to perform certain tasks in my home and expected to have hired skilled professionals. That was not the case. At no point did I personally attack the owner for conducting business in such an unethical fashion. I was truly stunned to be addressed in such a disrespectful and unprofessional manner. He continued his personal attacks in the public forum of the BBB website and refused to refund the money I paid for work that was not completed at all or not completed satisfactorily. Beware of engaging this company for any services.

When I first contacted Bizzy Bee, I was hesitant, because you read about all of the horror stories about people being ripped off and scammed, but I thought, surely, it couldn't happen to me. I chose what I thought was a reputable person to complete some work in my home. I purchased the 4 hour offer, thinking that, 2 handles {handicap} bars to be put in the walls, a safe {medium size} to be bolted into the floor with 4 screws, and an outdoor light to be replaced. I really thought 4 hours was more then enough to do these jobs. Now, Vince {owner} wanted to come out to the house to actually see what I was talking about, so I said, ok, he came out and looked and left after we discussed what needed to be done. {visit #1}. He sent me, via email, pictures of the handicapped bars that he had. I told him No, that was not what I had described to him, and then sent him the pictures of the bars { hand grips} that I wanted, now at this point, in hindsight, I probably should have just gone out and got them myself, but foolishly, I was thinking that he would have better and cheaper access to purchasing them cheaper then I would, dumb move on my part. He then sent his sister {?} to my house with the hand grips. Why? I don't know. Anyway, when she got here they were the wrong bars {visit #2}. so she takes them back to get the right ones. A few days later she calls me and says she has the right ones and will bring them by {visit #3}. All 3 visits were requested by vince, not me, and later on he tries to tell me that he went out of his way to come to my house 3 times on his own time! We set a day to have the handy man come, and it was decided by vince to have an electrician come out and swap out the light. This means that when you have a specialized person come out, that takes a 2 hour minimum out of however many hours you have purchased. The joker that he has shows up, blocks my driveway so that I cannot even pull into to park, and seemed really upset that he has to get back into his truck and move it so that I can pull into my own driveway. I go back into the house to check on the other guy, who vince should thank his lucky stars that he has working for him, and about 20 minutes later the handy man tells me that the "electrician" left! I said "what??" He didn't even tell me that he was leaving,nor that the light was switch was working! During that time The handyman put the bars up, that took 20 minutes, excellent job there! Bolted the safe to the floor, took another 25 minutes, great job there. I figured I still had an hour left of the time that I purchased, so we went out to make sure the outside light was working properly....and surprise, surprise, NOT WORKING! The handyman told me he could fix it.....now I have lights on both ends of the house, so he came in and asked me did I want him to go and get the lights to replace the ones that were burned out, so I said yes....Again, the electrician should have made sure they were both working properly before he just up and left after 20 minutes, and when I questioned vince on this, he replied "according to his GPS, the electrician was here 45 minutes" News quote here vince, any GPS on the Apple phone can be manipulated, time and place, so that is no true indicator of how long your electrician was here!And the man should have at least made sure the light was working before he just up and left without even telling me! So vince did offer to send him back, but the guy should have never left an unfinished job in the first place! You really think that I am going to trust this joker now?? So back to the handyman, he left, and went and got the lights. Came back, installed them and made sure they both worked, but all in all it took him an hour and a half to do this. I got overcharged on the handle bars, got charged, $15.00 each, when Lowe's had them for $5.99 each, vince's reply to that was, you should have got them myself then...real professional there. vince also states in his ad that his guys will let you know when your time is up and get your permission to extend it if need be, well I was NOT told that my time was up. I knew I had an hour left, knew that I was already shortchanged from the electricians time, and it took the hour I had left from my handyman time for him to fix the electrician's job, so the kicker was when he came in the house and told me I owed another $132.95! He said you ran over your time when I HAD TO GO TO THE STORE......NEVER DID HE TELL ME THAT, NOR DID HE GET MY PERMISSION TO GO PAST THAT TIME! ALL HE SAID WAS, "DO YOU WANT ME TO GO AND GET THE LIGHTS"! THAT WAS IT! So all that being said, I would NOT trust nor would I recommend this guy.

Fantastic. Electrician was hard working and thorough. Vince does a great job communicating.

On time pro got the job done right!

We had a great experience with Vince and the Bizzzy Bee. They were responsive, professional, and the work got done quickly and without any problems. The person hired came to our house twice, and both times they were very punctual. Will definitely hire again.

Excellent, no complaints, 2 men came and work steadily all 3 days , they had a good attitude and where professioal. Ask for my imput on the vision I had in regards to the floating decks, meet me at Lowes to pick out and material and delivered it to my home. The decks came out beautifully, after they where built, they stayed and help unload mulch and dirt from my car, dug holes and help plant about a dozen plants. This is the only company I use to do work around my house, I allways get excellent and professional serice, and would highly recommend the company.

Once they were able to fit me in the schedule it went great.

All done to my satisfaction

It went well. We are very pleased with their work.

I pre purchased a 4 hour job on Angie's List. They claimed the total job was 6.75 hours to complete the above work including time to go pick up supplies at the store which they did not ask me to get myself and I had no idea they were going to the store to get. This job should have been able to be completed in 4 MAX 5 hours if generous. 1 hour for the curtains 1 hour for the backsplash. 20 minutes for the door and 1 hour for hanging the pictures, filling and retouching. The job was not done logically to minimize time, no need to pay for spackle and paint to dry or for them to run to the store when I was perfectly capable. They removed .75 hours after my shock, but belittled me for it. The work was decent quality, but it's on the slow side and there is a lot of down time that you pay for. Just be aware!

Excellent. Everything was performed as requested.

.

The guys that came out were efficient and professional, they completed the list of task I gave them. They even took care of a few items that they saw needed to be done without my asking them.

After a pretty solid experience with a previous project, I was very disappointed with the results for our recent work. For starters, I gave very specific descriptions of what needed to be addressed but the technicians did not have the right skill set for everything. It was as if they were the only guys available so they were just thrown on the job. Busy Bee should have checked they had the right skills or found the right guys to do the job. Either way, it's their problem. Additionally, some of the work performed was done with a lazily effort and resulted in poor quality. I had these guys come out because we did not have time to do a decent job ourselves, so it was pointless to pay someone to do a probably worse job. Lastly, as was the same for both experiences w/ Busy Bee, there's palpable deceit and unprofessionalism when it comes to quoting and billing. This is one of those 'bait and switch' companies that quote you based on a bunch of assumptions that they make but don't disclose, and then jack up the costs before completion. I told the owner that had he told me what the true cost would have been, which he could calculate by asking about aspects of the work easily known beforehand, I wouldn't have selected them (this probably explains why they don't give accurate quotes). Instead of working with me or taking ownership, he was inflexible with the ridiculous cost overages. Poor form, sir.

Good, no problems

Vince and his crew are the best. We have used them for the past 7 years for all inside and outside repairs. They have a guy that can do anything you need - and has the experience to do it right! Very happy with all of their work and will use them again!
