My cedar fence (20-25 years old) has about 40+ sections consisting of a combination of 4 feet and 6 feet (height) sections. It was badly weathered and in need of restoration. The cedar shed (8x12 ft) and dog house were also due for a cleaning/stain. I called Eric's Handyman Service and my call was returned that evening. I requested an estimate. Eric and Gina stopped by while I was at work. Gina called me with the estimate. It included restoring both sides of the fence. A good portion of it on the one side of my yard has my neighbor's shrubs, etc. along side of it which limits access. I agreed to the work and was provided with the dates of service. It was scheduled in two phases - power washing/cleaning followed by the staining. The work was completed on time and the fence, shed and dog house look like new!

It went better than I expected as my faucet was a bottom of the line brand which I didn't realize, so it was more difficult to repair, but Eric got it done. He and Gina got here just a few hrs. after I called.

Went very well. Gina called me back promptly each time I called. They were available to do the service quickly, were on time, courteous and nice to work with. Nice people. Got the job done correctly and in very reasonable amount of time.

Gina called me back a day or so after I left a message, and we scheduled the estimate appointment. Eric and Gina arrived on time, quickly evaluated the work, and provided a fair estimate and a work date. Eric doesn't waste time on the projects; he's ready with all the tools and materials when he arrives, so the job is done promptly and professionally. When the first work was done, Eric pointed out some additional work that needed to be done (which I had known about but hadn't included in the list), and we scheduled that for the next week. I'll definitely call them again when more work is needed.

Although we did not go with Eric's Handyman Services, Gina and Eric were extremely pleasant. They showed up on time, and were always very responsive to my emails. I could tell that they were extremely professional and willing to do what was needed in the best interest of the homeowner. I have no doubt that Eric would have done a wonderful job. I would definitely recommend their services to others.

Everything went great! I called Eric's service to get an estimate and got a very prompt response from Gina his wife and biz partner. The quote was very reasonable considering I had about 5 small projects included to take care of for this visit. They also gave me the best estimate of the three I already had! Gina called just when they arrived in my apartment complex which was great as I have a home office and that gave me time get organized a bit more. Gina and Eric were super friendly and professional. They sized up each small project very quickly and functioned as a great team. Eric did a great job hanging the shelves and the curtain rods and Gina helped me decide on on best spacing and positioning and hung my metal wall art. They completed everything during my lunch hour which was great-5 small projects during my lunch hour-fantastic!! Eric and Gina were super efficient and careful-no mess. By the time the job was done, I felt like we neighbors. These guys are terrific. I will be using them again later this spring for my next project.

Eric and Gina responded to my call the same day. They set up an appt and arrived on time. They did a great job. I will definitely call them for my next repair.

Eric and Gina ALWAYS called back, came when scheduled and performed all estimated services per the estimate.
After being ripped off by House Doctor and Opari Construction in the past year, working with people who do the job they say they're going to do, show up on time and return phone calls promptly and politely is a blessing and a joy to work with.

Gina and Eric showed up right on time and within an hour had the problem solved. They were great from the start. They returned my phone call and listened to my explanation of what was wrong. They even called me to see if they could move up my appointment.
I normally hate having to get any work done around my house because contractors don't call back, don't show up or try to sell me something I just don't need or want. Not Gina and Eric -I am very happy and will DEFINITLY be using them again.

Eric and Gina came to my house for an estimate. They were professional, personable, and knowledgeable. I would have hired them, but as it turned out, a very capable friend offered to do the work for me.

This is actually a husband and wife team. Eric and his wife Gina work very well together. Eric installed 4 ceiling fans for me and his wife painting my living room, foyer and stairway. They did a great job. I chose them because they live very close to me... but I will continue to use them because they did a great job and were reasonably priced.

Eric and Gina are a dynamic duo. They maintained great communication throughout the whole process and where on time. The job was done perfectly and very quickly. I believe their price was a little on the higher side, but well worth it. Cannot put a price on peace of mind. My only serious complaint would be the mess they left behind. Both bathrooms had drywall dust and pieces on the floor and sink. There where also pieces of wiring left behind. They used my small bathroom trash bins to leave their work debris and left food trash in them too. The two empty boxes from the fans where left in my garage on top of my recyclables. For the quality of work they do and the price, I would have appreciated they be more tidy. Other than that, I highly recommend them.
Response from ERIC'S HANDYMAN SERVICE
"Thank you [member name removed]for the great,and honest review.We usually try to pay close attention to detail but over the years its easy to get complacent.Most times customers tend to offer to clean after us as they just want the job expedited.It is a privilege to us when someone comes behind to tidy up,but not expected.Thank you for reminding us to check and always look back."

My call was returned very promptly and they made an app. right away in spite of the fact that it was a small job. I didn't hear back from others I called and left a message with.
They came on time and were very nice and took care of what we needed.
Our house is old and neither I nor my husband can do the repairs , so I was very grateful to find helpful ,honest people and will be calling them for all we need done in the future.
I so appreciated that while on the roof Eric noticed that a Holly tree was growing into the roof and wrecking it and advised me to get a
tree person to come trim it down before there was worse damage.

Gina and Eric work beautifully in concert with each other. They are prompt, efficient, and create a great working environment. The best handypersons we've ever had work on our house. They have completed these jobs and are scheduled to do even more work on jobs that have been waiting years to be done

The experience was good. Right before Hurricane Sandy hit, I discovered that I had a clog in my gutter and it is 30 feet up, and I don't have a ladder. I called them and they were at my house within 5 minutes. I think they are a little pricey - they gave me a quote to get a piece of my fence done that was blown down by the Hurricane, the Fort Apache type fence. They wanted something like $400 and I got it done for $150. They left one of the caulking tubes just laying in the yard, but that was it. They are an excellent business, they are very responsive and timely. They do good work, so I don't have any complaints about them. I would give them A+ in the grading finer points except for price.
Response from ERIC'S HANDYMAN SERVICE
"Thank you for the great review (deleted member name). However i think you are mistaken about the fence I don't believe we ever gave you a fencing estimate. We estimated the siding your husband burned with the grill but thats the only open invoice i still have. We did the windows, flooring,and laundryroom sink.I was confused because you said the hurricane damaged the fence; yet we have not seen you since your gutter repair , before the hurricane. So I think you have us confused with someone else on the fence est. Call me if im mistaken and thanks again."

Eric and his wife did a great job painting the wall and dining room. The other tasks didn't go a smoothly.
The first issue was partially my fault since I purchased the wrong bi-fold door. But work already began on installing before Eric realized that the door was not the correct length. A quick pre-install check would of helped avoid this.
The second issue was the bigger problem for us. We purchased a ceiling fan for our living room which required some electrical work since the controls were different from the old fan. Eric installed the fan but the lights did not work. I was told to replace the bulbs. I did and it still didn't work. Eric reluctantly came out to inspect the problem and told me the control was faulty and I should return it since the lights worked when he directly connected the wires in the wall socket. After consulting with a real electrician I was told the controls were fine. The socket controlled more then just the ceiling fan. In hindsight I should of left the electrical work to a certified pro and not ask a handy man to do the work.
The last issue was the faucet which is now leaking again.
On top of all this they brought along a young man who did not respect our home. He cut himself and got blood on our entrance walls.
I was reluctant to post this review since Eric and his wife were very nice but I would hate for someone else to come across these same problems.
I'd recommend Eric's Handyman service for painting but not any of the other tasks.
**UPDATE**
Did not realize there was a response. As I mentioned before I was reluctant to post this review because Eric and is wife were very nice to us especially since I got the bifold doors wrong. I did not force them to stay while I went for a new door. They chose to do so and we appreciated the gesture.
The light switch they bought (without our consent) was not what we wanted. As I mentioned the switch controlled more then the ceiling fan. The switch they wanted to install ignored the hallway light so we could not except it. If I had asked them to purchase the switch then I could understand why I would have to reimburse them. I NEVER asked for anything for free.
I'll take the blame since I should have called an electrician for electrical work and a plumber for leaks (lesson learned). I still stick by the good work done with painting our walls.

"The first couple things you said were accurate.We did do a good job painting ,and the other did not go smoothly due to your fault.As we strive to be on time and do our best for customers it is difficult sometimes.You insisted on getting your own doors.We assumed YOU knew what you were doing.The first appointment we had which we were on time for as always,you had the wrong size,rescheduled for you,came back,on time to find you hadn't even the decency to be there for us.We had to sit and wait with your wife and kids while you ran to homedepot.Our time is very valuable and belongs to the next client.When you came back that is when you told us you had a problem with the light.The first common sense answer is always to replace the bulbs first.We did that for you.It still didnt work,we offered to come back again(as we always guarantee our work).This time we brought a new switch for you but you didnt want us to install it because you didn't want to pay for it and Eric only asked to be reimbursed the $30 we just spent on it for your light.YOU said you would go get your own switch and put it in.Eric even went as far as to take it out of package and connect it momentarilly to show you that it WAS indeed a new switch that was needed and you still asked him to remove the switch because you wanted it for free and I think thats the real reason you were irritated. We made several trips out for you to try and please you.As far as the helper that got a booboo at your house,he is no longer with our company."

Eric and his wife, who assists him, arrived at a prescheduled appointment time to provide an estimate. They were very professional and provided a written estimate which included the dates and costs for each job. I was also impressed that they wrote in the date and time for attending to the job.

Eric and Gina were extremely professional and provided quality work. I could not believe what a difference a good cleaning and stain can do for a fence. It looks great! Eric and GIna completed the project on time and for the exact amount that was provided in my estimate. I received three other estimates for this project. This company's price was in the middle. I felt the price was fair, especially for the professionalism and quality of work. I will definitely be using Eric's Handyman Service for other jobs.

Response from ERIC'S HANDYMAN SERVICE
"A wise man once told me:people lie,and don't believe everything you hear.Lets do the math.Did you really think I could deck your attic floor & box in around stairs,and ends for $262 ?The materials alone would have cost me more than that at Home Depot.My prices are fair.I have been serving burl & camden counties for over 24 years and have always been told I'm in the middle.There's always one guy that comes in higher and one lower,in the estimates.I belive the $1500 estimate you were given was fair and accurate for a job well done by professional and curteous people,not to mention the best reliability in the business,including all materials and labor.And what about the other rating options:Quality,responsiveness,punctuality,professionalism.I returned your call the same day.I scheduled your estimate for the very next day. I was on time.I came in a business shirt w/my company logo.You were given a written estimate on the spot ,on company letterhead with my address,phone number and state registration number.Perhaps there's more to this than meets the eye,maybe thats why you wouldn't return my call to discuss this further.Good luck with whomever you hired and remember , you get what you pay for. Thank you"

Estimate for the work was provided in a timely manner. We agreed upon a start date and the work was performed as scheduled. All work was very well done. I plan to use Eric again in the near future.
