Bryan's Handyman & Home Improvement Service

Great workmanship. Great price. Great service!

Bryan's team showed up on time and got right to work.  They were very professional and polite.  They did an amazing job.  I had more damage then I thought. What was supposed to be a two to three day job turned into an eight day project.  Tony and Henry took the time to make sure that everything was 100% before moving on to the next project.  Bryan showed up to make sure that everything was going well and he kept me informed the entire time.  Working with Bryan and his team was a pleasure and I could not be more pleased with the results.  I have more projects to be done in the future and Bryan will be the first person that I will call.  Thank you Bryan and Thank you Tony and Henry.

Professional, flexible  and affordably priced. . Crew is prompt and immediately went to work. All are skilled and industrious. Pricing was extremely fair and the work was well done.  I am very pleased with the results. I will use this contractor again and have already referred him to others

I am going to start backwards, I will be using Bryan’s services again.  I had three contractors come and quote a decently sized job, preparing a house for sale, and installing a new sidewalk over a maze stubborn of tree roots.  Bryan matched our fairest bid, and started within our requested time frame.  It also didn't hurt that he had so many positive reviews.  Bryan’s team was nothing short of amazing.  They were able to remove all of the tree roots in a very reasonable amount of time, and poured a beautiful new sidewalk, one that had been destroyed for over 10 years. They installed three rooms of drywall, ceilings included, and had it paint ready in a matter of days.  They installed new basement stairs, with a handrail, as well as 7 new basement windows.  During this time, I continued to ask Bryan to take on more jobs as we found them and he accepted without hesitation all while giving us a fair price. The team parsed two outdoor walls, and a sub-basement wall perfectly.  Last minute, I asked him to install a new back door, and install a dryer vent, and two sump pump exit holes.  Total project took two weeks, and the house looks amazing.  His team is very polite, friendly, hardworking and we even invited them to stay and eat dinner with us a couple times.  Bryan is honest, upfront, and knows what he is doing.  Use him and you won’t regret it.  Contact me directly if you have questions about my project.

I am very satisfied with the jobs done. I work full time and Bryan was able to accommodate my schedule. The two guys arrived within the reasonable time frame I was given. Right after I gave them a walk through what needs to be fixed, they immediately went to work in a timely manner. We noticed the Chandelier was not balanced after they put it up, and they took the time to adjust it, and now it looks perfect! They also did a very good job cleaning up everything afterwards. Highly recommended, and I will definitely give Bryan a call if I need anything else in the future.

My bedroom had a water damaged ceiling from a leak in the old roof.  We hired Bryan's company to replace and paint the ceiling and the ugly old wood panel walls, and they did a fantastic job.  The new ceiling, walls and crown moulding look phenomenal.  We had a makeshift archway composed of plain white boards where we had previously knocked a wall down.  They were able to put moulding around it and really make it look good.  The room looks top notch now.
We were so impressed by their work and professionalism that we decided to call them back to repair the deck, which was falling into disrepair.  They were able to assess the problem quickly, replace several boards and posts that were rotting from age, and they also reinforced the structure.
All this work was done at a reasonable price on top.  I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for good home improvement and repairs.

Bryan and Josie were very prompt and responsive.  Bryan thoroughly assessed each task and made excellent suggestions about how to best accomplish the desired outcome.  His prices were reasonable and workmen arrived when scheduled.  All work was completed promptly and with high quality and all areas were left clean and neat.  There was a misunderstanding around one of the tasks for which Bryan took full responsibility and promptly rectified.  I would use his services again and enthusiatically recommend him to others without reservation.

The service was excellent, prompt, and quick!

The 2 men were consummate professionals. They called ahead to let us know when they were coming and showed up on time.  They knew exactly what they were doing for each job. They came equipped with every tool imaginable!  They were prepared for every eventuality. They cleaned up after each project, leaving no trace that they were even there.  I would definitely use Bryan's Handyman & Home Improvement Service again.

Everything went very well.  Roofing crew was clean and thorough.  They had to go through the bedroom window to gain access to the roof.  Very pleased with them and their work.  Yard installation of drainage pipe was done so neatly, I almost did not know the job had been completed since I was not at home when the work was being done.  I absolutely plan to use Brian's services again. I  like that he can do electrical and plumbing, etc and is licensed to do these things.

When calling for an estimate, Bryan and his lovely wife Josie came out to spec the job - they were running a little late, and called well in advance of the apt to time to let us know. The price for the work was fair and the crew arrived on time on the agreed work date. Xaiver and George were professional, NEAT and a pleasure to work with on this project. There was an unexpected challenge with the lighting, and they checked in with Bryan, who called me and we agreed upon the additional costs and work proceeded uninterrupted.
Delighted with the results!

The price was reasonable. He did a very good job. I would use him again in the future.

Bryan and Josie came out for the initial inspection. Bryan is very thorough and seems to see the problems as they are. My floors were poorly installed and not level. The transition plates were too big and overlapped too much which looked funny and caused a potential tripping hazard.
I am very pleased with everything they did. The floors are level and beautiful. They even reinforced the floor from the basement which appears to have made all the creaking go away. Well Done! The vinyl flooring in the kitchen is great, but the porcelain foyer is absolutely gorgeous! 
The access panel they installed for my shower is just right. I called a plumber several months ago to fix a leak in the shower. The plumber had great difficulty fixing the leak because he didn't have proper access to the shower plumbing apparatus. The plumber said he could put a hole in the wall but would not be able to patch it up. Bryan's Handyman & Home Improvement Service installed an access panel for me and changed out the shower/bath faucet and spout.
I enjoyed working with both Bryan and Josie. Bryan was easy to reach via email or phone. His responses were timely and accurate. I recommend this company to anyone who is looking for a professional experience with solid pricing. Thanks again Bryan's Handyman & Home Improvement Service, I couldn't be happier with the results you gave me and hope to use you again in the future.

We had a mix up on the date, but we were able to get that straighten out easily.  On the day of the work Bryan showed up with his crew (4 guys) and showed then all the work that was needed.  The guys were very polite & professional.  They went right to work and everything was finished in about 2hrs.  Overall I was very satisfied and would use them again.

1.  My initial request for a written contract was ignored.  I never got one. Because of the many positive reviews on Angie's List, I decided to go with the estimate, dated 4/28/2014.  Bryan gave me a starting date of 6/3/2014.  A little later than I had expected, but I OK'd it.

2.  I had previously used a contractor who worked with me as a team (discussed options, helped me pick out items, made suggestions, etc.).  Bryan did nothing of the sort:  he would pick up items at Home Depot, but I had to pick out and order everything, right down to the color of the grout.  No big deal, but I was disappointed that there was no rapport whatsoever with him; he strictly did what he was told, and no more.  Although his crew was friendly and cooperative, Bryan himself came across as conceited and overbearing. He never came to check up on the crew, or to monitor the progress.

3.  Because I was not used to this kind of process, I submitted a list of questions to Bryan on 5/15/2014.  No response.  I re-submitted the list on 5/25/2014, and received an email apology with the statement that my questions "had fallen through the cracks".  By that time, I was no longer able to get some of the  needed items (floor- and ceiling tiles) in time for the June 3 starting date.

4.  The job in one of the bathrooms did start on 6/3 but could not be completed because of plumbing hardware that had to be installed in the new vanity, and was not available. The crew left, and no date was given for their return.  Since they had to remove my washer and dryer, which are in that bathroom, in order to install the new floor tiles, they omitted to put them back.  When I called to alert Bryan, I was told that this had been "an oversight"  (SOME oversight!). The crew returned to reinstall my appliances.

5.  Because of the delay in the delivery of the tiles, etc. (which did not arrive until early July), I was informed that Bryan's schedule would not allow him to finish the job until mid-August .  As the delays were caused by THEM, I insisted they finish sooner; they so did by mid-July.

6.  At the completion of the job, I was presented with a final bill that contained a number of items not included in the original estimate,  and  was 30% higher than the original estimate.  Although I have sympathy for unexpected cost overruns,  none of these items had ever been mentioned to me, nor sought my approval for.  I refused to pay for the overruns , which, for the most part, were unreasonable and/or non-existing.

7.  Although the work itself was not altogether below-par, I did have some complaints:

a. no touch-up painting was done where the new vanities did not cover the outline of the old ones.

b. one bathroom door had not been painted.

c. boxes with items, stored by the crew in my dining room, as well as foot prints, had left stains on the carpet.

d. a towel bar and faucet of the old vanity, that I had requested to be retained and put on the new vanity, had been removed and discarded.

8.  On 7/22/2014, Bryan came to my home, agreed that the 30% unauthorized overrun was unreasonable and took it off the final bill, and had my complaints mentioned under 7. corrected.

He apologized for all the miscommunications and misunderstandings (were they?????), and said he hoped that his correcting the mistakes would have restored my trust in him.  It has not, and I will not use him again, nor recommend him to others.

They did a great job replacing molding and door knob. We will use them again in the future.

Bryan and his crew have been great to work with. He and his wife came out to provide an estimate and schedule the work, and they were very professional and friendly. It's been easy to schedule work with Bryan and his prices are reasonable for the work performed. I'll certainly be using him again in the future, and would recommend him to anyone needing some help catching up on their to-do list or any work needed around their home. Thanks!

Everything went as planned.  Very pleased with the work and timeframe in which it was completed.

They did a tremendous job. Very professional, explain things clearly when they came to view and give estimate. They know what they are talking about. The team of gentlemen were the same. They turned a eye sore to a beautiful shed. I cannot believe the difference. It is wonderful. We will definitely call on them again when needed.

Very professional.  Great communications.  Bryan came in, gave us some suggestions and then emailed us a price.  We scheduled.  His employees arrived, were very courteous and respectful.  They did a great job and were careful when moving items not to ding anything.  Very satisfied.
Thanks,

Covering a brick fireplace with sheetrock may seem like an easy task.  Trust me, nothing in my house is an easy task.  We started with bricks that, when built in 1976, were probably all the rage as far as decorators were concerned, as there were at least 75 - 100 bricks that were set 90 degrees to the wall and jutted out about 3-4 inches.  All of them were offset from every other one, so it wasn't as easy as just putting up some 2x4s.  That fireplace has been a thorn in our side since we moved in, in 2003.  We had always wanted to cover it up and bring the house up to a more contemporary style.

Bryan's team showed up exactly at the agreed upon time and took great care in moving everything that needed to be moved, to give them freedom to work and protect the furniture.  Did I mention that the fireplace rises to a height of 18 feet?  That said, the first thing Bryan's team accomplished was to set up a shield that ran from floor to ceiling, which protected the rest of the room from flying debris caused by the chiseling of those awful bricks.

Once the bricks were shorn away, they proceeded to put up the 2x4s to accept the sheetrock.  As we were also going to place tile around the opening of the fireplace, Bryan's team also put up cement board to protect the wall against heat as well as to form a sturdy base to accept the tile.  The work on the sheetrock, cement board, taping and spackling went quickly and without incident.

Like I said nothing in my house is easy.  The wave pattern of the tile, as odd as it may sound, was confusing and ultimately had to be laid out on the ground to make sure everything lined up perfectly.  In the end all the cuts in the tile were perfect.  Painting the wall was also no easy task.  The paint we chose was to have a brushed suede effect and had to be applied in a precise pattern - first applied in a "W" pattern, followed by an "X" pattern.  When you stand back, the paint work actually looks like brushed suede and you can see the subtle variations in color, all from a single color. 

All in all, the finished product looks awesome and Bryan, Josie and their team did an incredible job.

One thing that truly did impress me was Bryan and Josie's communication, presence and follow-up.  It was reassuring to know that they were on top of their crew to make sure everything turned out the way we had envisioned.

If anyone asks me if I would recommend Bryan's Handyman and Home Improvement Service, I would say yes in a heartbeat.  I promise, you will not be disappointed!

I'm already starting to lineup the next project for Bryan to get started on.

Thank you to Bryan, Josie and all the crews who worked on the project.

Bryan and his team have been great to work with, through more jobs than originally expected.  He and his wife came out to provide an estimate and schedule the work, and they were very professional and friendly.  He even recommended that we install a wine rack where we were just going to do tile.  We loved the idea so much that we had a cabinet custom-made to fit the space!  The crew Bryan sent to do our work was also extremely professional and easy to work with.  They were clean, quiet and friendly, and did great work.  It's been easy to schedule work with Bryan and his prices are reasonable for the work performed.  I'll certainly be using him again in the future, and would recommend him to anyone needing some help catching up on their to-do list.

Bryan and his team were very punctual and professional throughout the entire experience. I emailed Bryan to arrange a time for us to meet at  my house for him to provide an estimate for the work we needed done. Bryan worked with my schedule to meet on a Saturday morning. We walked through the house and talked about the two jobs - replace screen patio doors and install cable outlets in 2 bedrooms.
After a few days, Bryan contacted me with a written estimate through email. The price seemed reasonable and his reviews on Angie's list offered praise that we felt comfortable. 
Three gentlemen on Bryan's team arrived toy house on the scheduled day of service. I was surprised to not see Bryan there with them, but that was not a problem. i just wished i would have known that in advance. The crew was prompt, clean, and professional. They introduced themselves, asked me to walk them through the house to make sure we were on the same page of where we wanted the cable outlets and then they got started. In about two hours, they were finished with both jobs and cleaning up the work spaces. I was thoroughly impressed and appreciated the quality of the work. The lead crew member asked me to inspect the work and if i was satisfied. I was.
I fully recommend Bryan's Handyman & Home Improvement Service. They offered a fair price for quality work and courteous service. I plan to use them again in the future.
 

Crew was very good. They removed all appliances and plumbing fixtures and reinstalled them. They installed new corner round and completed on time.
