Response from American Handyman
"Mr. [Member Name Removed] had been a client of mine since 2014. As you can see below, he rated me an A. Now he is rating a C but the job was completed back in 11/2018. Not sure why he waited so long to rate me with a C? He had me hang a fish on the exterior of his shed. He had it marked with tape where he wanted the fish. We hung it according to his markings. It took two of us to hang this fish and it was perfect. When he came back to town he called me and asked me to move the fish 3 inches down from where he had marked it. I explained to him that there was a shelf in the way on the interior and would require the removal of the shelf and rehanging the fish and reinstalling the shelf which would be more work and would cost more for labor. He would not agree to this so the fish is hanging exactly where he had marked it to be. We have done over 12 jobs for him and he was very pleased with all the jobs until this fish, which again, was not our error."

"Hi [Member name removed], I think you may have the wrong company? We do not have a file for a [Member name removed] and we have not performed any roof work in quite some time."

He came out and gave an estimate the next day after I emailed him. He kept in communication with us and showed up when expected. He was professional and easy to work with. His final price was exactly what he quoted.

He is wonderful. He responds to my phone calls quickly. His rates are incredibly reasonable. He does a good job. He is honest. My experience with him has been very positive. We had a catamaran stored underneath our house at the beach and he had to cut down some bushes in order to get the catamaran out. It has been under there for about ten years. There was a lot of growth around it. Our house is on a hill and it was a very tough job. He is doing some work for us on our dock as well. We would rate him highly. We intend to use him again.

Andrew was very quick to come out and give an estimate for the painting and wall preparation. He also found several areas that needed attention and pointed them out to us and priced them. It was a big job and he had some personnel challenges while performing the scheduled work, but he stayed on the job and saw it to completion. It took a little longer than expected, but he stuck by his price and performed all the work on the work order.He did a quality job!!! I highly recommend Andrew, he is honest, trustworthy and a true professional. He will be our handyman at the beach for as long as he wants to be.
