Handyman Advantage was great. They were very responsive and worked hard to schedule the work in as timely a manner as possible. The owner (Brandon) and his team are professional, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. They performed a wide variety of work, and the quality across-the-board was outstanding. They went out of their way to get the job done quickly, and without compromising quality.

Brandon was very helpful and friendly. My job wasn't complex so he scheduled someone to come out the following Monday while I was at work. Sure enough, the work was completed when I got home that day. Overall, a positive experience and no complaints on my end.

I had a very good experience with them. They are very punctual, professional, courteous and knowledgeable about their work. They also go an extra mile when required. However they are a little price high but it was worth it.

After getting a quote Friday we called the following Monday and scheduled some work to be done. He did a great job. I called a few months later for more work, but that particular handyman had moved away. I called the office again and got no response this time. I would have used them again I got another handyman to do the next service.

I found some wood root on my house that I thought I could fix myself but upon seeing the amount,and involvement of whole pieces of siding and going up the chimney and structural damage. I called for an estimate and Mr Reed was on time and gave me an estimate that I thought was reasonable. His workers were on time, very neat in their work and worked well as a team. This work included getting to the top of my chimney of a 2 story house with steep roof. As they went along in their work, they discovered more extensive water damage and Mr Reed returned to revise the estimate as I knew the work entailed much more than previously thought. They even had to eliminate a nest of ants who had found the rotted wood. I feel that the workers were excellent carpenters and made no mistakes in their measuring and cutting. I will use them again to wash and re-paint the house.

It started out good. In fact, the handyman showed up a day early for seeing what the job entailed. He promised a quick estimate. A few days went by and I received an e-mail estimate. It seemed reasonable and I called the office to accept the estimate. I was told the handyman would contact me to schedule a date. A week went by with no contact. I called the office and was told I must have "fallen through the cracks". A few days later I received an e-email with some suggested days. I responded with an e-mail selecting one of the days. On the selected day no one showed up. I thought I was being summarily ignored and called the office. I was told I was not on the schedule (I could have guessed that). However, I was allowed to select a time and date and was assured that the work really was scheduled. The handyman called me the same day to confirm the date and time. So things were looking up. Sure enough, on the scheduled day and time the handyman showed up with the material. Even though the weather was threatening to rain he completed the job. He was very professional and friendly. In my opinion his work was excellent. So all's well that ends well. I would hire these folks again but I would make sure that I communicated better.

Jim showed up on time for estimate, and for the repair, and everything was done to our satisfaction. Pleasant experience. We will use them again.

I had punch list of repairs. Brandon and Brent came out and did a great job. It took a little longer than anticipated due to unforeseeen circumstances but Brandon was honest and forthright about it. They were professional and worked through a couple of items that took some extra effort and thought to find a solution for. I was very happy with their work and would definitely hire them again.

Very good work. Price is fair, but they charge a fuel surcharge which you don't see much anymore. With gas prices fairly stable, there's really no reason for it.

Awesome. Very timely response. And went above and beyond while they were onsite and during communications. They were running behind, but called.

I've done business with them in the past and I've always been very pleased with them. I would recommend them. There was one man that did it and he was very capable. I would use them again in the future.

Brandon was very professional and did quality work. I'd hoped to spend less than I did, but my expectations may be unreasonably low.

They did a really good job. They were able to fix a problem that a previous company could not fix.

They were nice people and they did a good job. But I just didn t like how it was done. They did not put things back where they were and they charged for moving the debris. They put new wood in on the side of the house and they painted it and put one coat on and I told them to put another coat on so they did and it said on the painting label that it said that you had to wait 4 hours to put another coat on but they didn t want to wait because they didn't want to come back a second day but they did come back a week later.

Previous to this work, we were only able to access this attic through the garage by staircase, so this is such an improvement! We have used the service many times and always request the same gentleman. He is very professional and can do about anything! He charges by the job, not by the hour, excluding materials, then adds them to the final cost. This doorway went in with no surprises and very neatly. I highly recommend them.

Micheal was extremely polite and friendly, and obviously knew what he was doing, unfortunately the first man that came to measure the windows had no idea what he was doing as he did not even remove the windows for the measurements. When Micheal got there three days prior to my having to close on the home, both windows did not fit and had to be special ordered, which ending up taking several addition weeks after I had moved out. They also requested payment without the work being completed, and then continued to call five minutes after faxing me the invoice to see when I would pay. It took them several weeks past the agreed time to get the work completed, but I was supposed to drop everything while at work and pay them immediately. I would never use this company again for any work I needed done.

I would not use this company. They rushed through the job. As soon as they determined they were done, they demanded immediate payment from my wife, who wrote them a check at that time. When I later inspected the work, I found it to be shoddy. I created a such list of items that needed to be corrected. Long story short: They never returned to correct items on the punch list. Once this company got our money, they were history. Do not use this company, they are unprofessional, unethical, and do subpar work.
Response from Handyman Advantage
"WE DID 2 JOBS FOR THE MEMBER IN 2005. THE ONE HE REFERS TO WAS COMPLETED ON 8/24/05. THE MEMBER GAVE US A CHECK UPON COMPLETION, AS PER OUR STANDARD TERMS. WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY COMPLAINT FROM THE MEMBER NOR DID WE GET A PUNCH LIST. IF WE HAD, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN GLAD TO RESOLVE ANY ISSUES THAT HE HAD. SINCE WE GUARANTEE OUR WORK FOR 3 YEARS, WE STILL WOULD BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS ANY AND ALL OF HIS COMPLAINTS. FRANKLY WE ARE PUZZLED WHY HE IS BRINGING THIS UP NOW, A YEAR AFTER THE WORK WAS DONE; INSTEAD OF CONTACTING US DIRECTLY RIGHT AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED."
