Winner of the 2020 Angie's List Super Service Award, a winner nine out of the past 10 years. We are a locally owned family business supported by a national franchise company which is North America's most trusted handyman company. For more than 15 years we've consistently hired experienced, reliable craftsmen (not sub-contractors) who are licensed, insured, bonded and background checked. That means you'll receive consistently high quality work that is 100% guaranteed. What sets us apart: Mr. Handyman's professionals arrive in branded uniforms and vans that are stocked with every tool they'll need for your job. Our on-time record is second to none, and we arrive ready to work. One phone call to Mr. Handyman hires professionals who complete your entire "To Do" list. Every task whether major or minor home repair is prioritized according to your needs. Rather than calling a specialist for drywall repair and another contractor for rain gutter repair, your neighbors consistently choose us for all their home improvement needs. Mr. Handyman can complete a variety of projects for you, from installing doors, to tiling your bathroom, repairing your deck and much more.
"I had a truly MISERABLE experience with Mr. Handyman. I called Mr. Handyman and spoke to one of the administrators about wanting to demo an existing shed, and build a new one. They asked for what the shed should look like and some details, I provided a few photos of a relatively run-of-the-mill red barn style shed, they gave me a quote for a shed for $2500, and they put me on the schedule. The primary contractor arrives, tries to convince me to change the shed because the one I wanted will take long to build and is too complicated. I am annoyed, and eventually cave, we agree that he's just going to build a single pitch roof shed. They demo the shed, and then leave for the day. That evening Mr. Handyman calls me to schedule 2 additional days. The day I got cost me $2700, and my yard is completely full of debris from my old shed, a huge ditch excavated, the foundation is about 50% built. So I'm over budget by a bit and the work is at 10% complete. The extra two days will cost an ADDITIONAL $3300. I'm furious, I speak to the owner, we come to an arrangement, I pay a fixed $4500 for labor and give them my credit card to buy materials. I'm WAY over budget but at this point I need it done because my yard is in shambles. Next week they come out for two days, and then leave my yard with literal trash everywhere (see photos), and building materials all over, while also making use of MY ladder and MY wagon. If they care for my stuff I'm fine with it, but still found it shocking that they would just commandeer my stuff for their purposes without even asking (pictured is my own ladder on the shed). They tell me they need me to buy a door, can't find one and ask me to search and find a double door. I'm in way too deep at this point, so I call around and finally find a door. I printed out the product page and reviewed it with them outside and they say "yep, we'll go to Union and pick this door up." They go get it, and the door doesn't fit into their van, contractor is calling me panicking, the owner is calling me and asking me to coordinate between his contractor on site and the helper at Lowes. This is the middle of a work day and I had to abandon an important meeting while this is happening. So now I am spending an hour trying to explain this situation to Lowes and coordinate a box truck delivery for a door that they have marked as picked up by the customer, it's a TOTAL mess, meanwhile my expenses for this shed are nearly triple my original quote as material costs have pushed us above the $6k range already. Fourth day of work comes and goes relatively uneventfully, Lowes fortunately delivered the door for me after much confusion and back/forth ("But it's marked as picked up, where is the door?" etc.), and the guys installed it as an inswing. When we decided on buying an inswing door, the contractor said he could flip the door hinges no problem to make it an outswing, I bought an inswing door because it's the only one available. Who wants a shed with an inswinging door? So I'm busy all day, and eventually they leave at around 2pm having finished everything, cleaned up the site, and mostly leveled the ditch they made. I go outside and find out the door was installed as an inswing, and they installed a doorknob with a lock, which I actually specifically asked them not to. What a disaster of a job. Ron of Mr. Handyman insists that they don't do bait-and-switch type operations. You judge my experience for yourself, I obviously think it was one of the worst contractor experiences I have ever had and will not only never use mr handyman, but make sure that anyone I know is aware of just how awful it was. Tuffshed from HomeDepot doesn't do shed demo but after this miserable experience I say just call your garbage company, get a dumpster, and suffer through doing the demo yourself because in the end you will 100% not regret it. Or call American Shed. Literally anything would be better than Mr. Handyman."

NY based business; here at One Final Touch Furniture we offer quality furniture restoration, custom furniture, and home improvement. We pick up furniture to repair in our shop.
"Unprofessional. A complete and total disappointment. Mike was supposed to stain and match my cabinet finish and the color was way off, and he kept trying to convince me that the colors matched. Mike didn't arrive prepared with any tools or material, not even a screwdriver! Mike argued with his assistant the whole time. Mike and assistant went on a 3 hour lunch break, and ended up working on my cabinets until 9am, and didn't finish!! Mike returned alone the following day, I shared that I was unhappy with the quality of the work, he hung my cabinets, and did not properly secure then to the beams, and I could not put anything in the cabinets. I shared with him that the project was not satisfactory and he stated "when women start to complain, I have to leave, I can't listen to women complain". I had to pay another contractor to come in an take down the cabinets and re-install them securely. See the picture posted. The 2 long middle wall cabinets are lighter than the rest of the cabinets, they stand out. Don't hire this person, it's not worth it."

"Anthony Nastasi, hired by me to rebuild our decaying bay window, did a terrific job. When he came out to survey our prospective job, he listened closely to what we wanted, took notes, did measurements, and made suggestions. Later that day he sent my a proposal, detailing the materials and total cost of the project. Ultimately, the final cost was only about $300 more as additional material was needed. Mr. Nastasi worked a full day each day he was here. He also was honest and direct - he told me when he would arrive in morning, and he did. He told me when he had to complete another job so he might have to leave early or miss a day. Many Subs aren't professional enough to simply tell the truth. He always did. I am extremely happy with the quality of the work he did, the time frame in which he completed the job and, most importantly, how it looks. I would unequivocally recommend Anthony Nastasi to anyone.

Generally, general contractors charge between $50 and $150 hourly, though not every contractor charges by the hour. If charging based on the project, you can expect a markup of 10% to 20% of the construction cost. You can expect to pay between $300 and $500 daily if charged by the day.
General contractors are the ones that coordinate home construction projects. They are in charge of the day-to-day oversight of the subcontractors to ensure that the project is completed on time and to resolve problems as they arise. General contractors:
Complete pre-construction planning, both with the customer and crew
Provide realistic cost estimates
Develop construction timelines
Ensure deadlines are met
Acquire permits as needed
Purchase supplies and materials
Before hiring a general contractor for your home project, it’s a great idea to write down a list of questions to discuss with each prospect. Some example questions to get you started include:
Which types of insurance do you carry?
Can you provide a list of references?
What is the expected timeline for this project?
How will my project be supervised?
Will you hire subcontractors for the job?
What is the best way to communicate changes?
Will you obtain all of the required building permits?
While city and state laws vary on general contractor licensing requirements, hiring an unlicensed general contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines for your area.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
Yes, most general contractors require a down payment for project completion. A reasonable down payment for a contractor is 10% to 25% of the total project cost, though that will vary based on project size and location. The down payment helps cover the upfront costs of materials and permits and helps ensure payment for the project at hand.
