Had to reschedule my original appointment due to their late arrival for the first scheduled time. The office admin was helpful in taking care of that. Once they did arrive on a later date, the work was done quickly, efficiently and of high-quality. I will consider them for an additional project in the future.

Perfect. Robert arrived right on time and went straight to work. This is the second time Robert has done drywall repair work for us and his work is excellent. The repaired area blends in perfectly with the rest of the ceiling. Robert is professional and very friendly. I highly recommend him.

Franklyn C. was very professional and friendly. It is clear he takes a lot of pride in his work. He made sure the print was perfectly centered top to bottom and left to right on the wall. He also cut part of the bottom of the radiator cover so it would fit over the molding and be flush with the wall. We look forward to working with him again.

Before my appointment I received a complete bio of James, my handyman, including his picture. This was very impressive, and made me feel very comfortable with him when he arrived. James was on time, courteous and knowledgeable. He looked at my electrical issue and fixed it within minutes. I was living in a new apartment where I was having new onset breathing problems. He reviewed the filthy air ducts and exposed fiberglass in the vents. James was concerned and offered to take a look in the attic where he found serious mold issues. He took his time to explain to me what was going on, and helped me make the final decision to move out. He was much more than a wonderful handyman; he acted as a friend and the voice of reason at a difficult time in my life. Mr Handyman, the company itself, was a pleasure to work with. Their admin was skilled and competent. James, my handyman, was knowledgeable, competent, kind and respectful. I have and continue to recommend him to all of my friends and family.

Great service! They were on time, professional and worked all day. The cost was expensive, however, it was an expensive outdoor kitchen and it was installed without a scratch! The team is very communicative and answered all of my questions. They went above and beyond, call the manufacturer when I couldn't answer a question. I highly recommend this team and I will definitely use them in the future!

Garage and Shed Building
$7,248
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.

"We work hard everyday to over deliver to our customers, and in this case we fell short and want to apologize and take responsibility. We take pride in our work, communication and cleanliness, and believe we could have done better especially with communication on your job. We’ve been in business more than 14 years and stayed in business because of our exceptional and consistent service so this review is particularly painful as it doesn’t represent who we are and what we deliver to our customers everyday. We shared this when we spoke to you and wanted to be sure we took responsibility here online."

Brian, our technician, was fantastic! He was friendly, professional, and answered all of our questions.

Dean deserves the highest praise for the amazing work he did replacing my front entry door and storm door. I have an old house, and the doorway was very drafty and damaged. The job itself presented many challenges, but Dean was undaunted. He figured out solutions at every turn and put in the extra time and effort that were required to get this job done. Dean's expertise cannot be overstated. I have to add that the customer service of the front office is top-notch. I spoke mostly with Ron and Sydney, and they were both friendly, responsive, and accommodating. This was my first experience with Mr. Handyman Springfield, and I will definitely use this company again.
