Handyman Connection - Westchester County

They were professional and followed up.

No primer. Painted one coat after another on same day. Messy painter, splashing paint on handles, around glass inserts, door hinges and frames.

When I contacted this handyman, it was to measure for new storm doors. An elderly, frail looking gentleman arrived to measure the doors. He returned by himself to hang these doors. He was unable to carry the doors from the garage to the porch; he was also going to hang those doors on the present weakened rotting door facing, which would only take a good gust of wind to blow the doors off, because they had very little on which to anchor them. Although he was asked by me and my son to change it. He called his office and told his boss that the door facing was in good condition. His boss told us that if his worker said the wooden frame of the door was in good condition, then the doors will be hung on them. I was charged $75.00 to measure 2 doors. The $75.00 would be inclusive in the price with installation of doors. Off course, I refused to have my doors installed on rotting frames.

It went very well. Rufino, one of the contractors for Handyman Connections, gave us an estimate to do the jobs, showed up the following week when he said he would, had two men for one day, and came back three days later to sand, and apply a second coat. They were very neat and the work done was professional.

Workmanship was fine, but didn't heed instructions for size of pantry. As a result, it turned out smaller than I needed.

Nothing, No call never showed up. Said he got to the end of the driveway and someone told him to go away. Not true they were plowing my driveway. Didnt bother to walk down my driveway and knock on the door. Call them up to find out where he is and Mr Smith was totally unprofessional and refused to have the handyman come back out that day. Now the items I need completed on a Friday which I wanted done Wednesday by the way wont be completed in time for family coming into town this weekend. Save yourself alot of headache and stay away from these folks they run it with no accountability dispatch handymen from around the area dont really care who you are, which is their customer. Beware.

Terrible, terrible experience. I am mystified by the good reviews. All I needed them to do was install a mailbox. I spoke to someone over the phone who said "it was not rocket science" and quoted my a $125 price. When the guy came over he said it would cost more ($175) because of this or that. He spent the hours on it and left me with a mailbox that sways. NEVER USE THESE PEOPLE. They lied about the price and provided shoddy service.

They were very professional and did a good job both times. My attic steps, although basically in good condition, were very old and when their efforts to find a replacement part for me failed, they researched where I might be able to find what was needed online so that I would not have to completely replace the steps. I was successful in finding the part and they were able to fix the steps which are still working very well. Their prices are reasonable, they were prompt and courteous, and I would certainly use them again. I am happy recommend them.

He showed up the day he promised and completed the job a day early.

Overall, the work was ok. There were paint drips that I found after they left on the floor and on the back of my bathroom door. Two ceramic tiles in the bathroom was cracked. On a positive note, the shelves built in my bathroom came out very nice. |For what I paid, the quality of the work does not merit a grade above C. I might consider using the provider again but not the same person who did the work.

Quality of the work was excellent but I thought there would be more extensive work needed on the wallboard behind the tile. I had this in mind when I agreed to the price. Final price came to $923.75 which was slightly less than his price quoted. He only spent 5 hours doing the work and this comes out to almost $185 per hour. I consider this to be an outrage! The work was done by Rufino Huyhua. I am also not very enthusiastic about the setup of Handyman Connection. I believe they just refer handymen to inquiries they receive who are really not their employees. I even had to supply the materials needed for the job. The handyman came with not tools or supplies.

All repairs went smoothly with constant communication by Rufino during the process. Pricing structure was clearly outlined before work began and changes in pricing due to unknown problems were discussed prior to commencement of work.

The handyman sent was polite and efficient. He called the day before to confirm, began the work on-time and finished earlier than I expected. Before re-attaching the doors on the closets he made sure we were happy with the position. If I were to criticize anything, it would be that the handyman mentioned on the phone that he didn't have the correct tools with him to do the job the next day. That made me a bit uneasy. However, he used what he had and got the job done well. I would use them again.

Gave them a call and the person that they sent arrived when they said he would arrive and provided a fair quote. The work was done quickly and efficiently. The post is solid and I expect no issues with it. They followed up with me to make sure I was happy and the work was done to my satisfaction. I will use them in the future.

I spoke to Steve over the phone, he was very helpful and professional.

It initially went well and the first job they did a portion of the work. I then called them back at their private number for the 2nd job, since I decided to have them finish the plastering. They also sealed a 10x10 wall too. 2 workers came out and they stayed for about 2 hours. They brought the materials the first that he came out, and brought more than what was needed and they brought more than what was needed the 2nd time too. I had to pay for all of that and I thought they charged too much though. They did leave the extra materials. I have used them about 3 times, but I want to add that I called for one particular thing at point, but they never showed. I was disappointed with the 2nd job, since the first job they did so well.

I have no complaints. The work performed looks great, Gary, who showed up to do the work was prompt, responsive and did a very good job.

Once again I'm so happy with the work that was done at our home. Mike and Joe did a beautiful job in our foyer. They are so friendly, professional and efficient. We still have lots to do at our home and we will surely be calling on Handyman Connection again.

They got it done and everything works fine.

Richard Smith of Handyman Connection of Westchester was professional and communicated well, both by telephone and email. The project was referred to Rufino who gave me a reasonable quote for installing attic stairs in my condo. At my request Rufino purchased the stairs and additional supplies to complete the project. He arrived on time, protected the furniture in the room and cleaned up after the installation. He was efficient and professional. I would definitely contact Handyman Connection of Westchester again.

Norman Freed called immediately after I spoke with the company and described the scope of the work. He came a few minutes earlier than the appointed time. After surveying the tasks, he decided on a price, which I thought fair, and agreed to. He told me that he needed to leave to pick up his son from school before completing all the jobs, but offered to return either later that evening or the next day, at my convenience. He did return the next day, and completed each of the tasks. He worked quietly and efficiently. Although he gathered the packaging from all the boxes and threw everything in the trash, he did not volunteer to vacuum up the mess left behind (something other workers have volunteered to do). Other than that, I was satisfied with the work.

We called for service because our dryer vent was not working. Prior to the service call, we purchased the materials. The service man called from a blocked # and we could not get in touch with him. He called again on a Sunday and indicated he could come over. He did not tell us we would be charged for an 'emergency' call. So we ended up paying premium $'s to reconnect dryer vent. I explained this to the management and requested we be charged the week rate. They rejected my request and said they would refund $35.00. Angie's list had a $25.00 coupon available for repairs over $100.00. In reality all they agreed to take off was $10.00. What upset me about this situation is the take-it-or-leave it attitude. I have used their services a few times ..this particular call should not have cost me for than $50.00, tops $75.00 The technician was here no more than 10 minutes. I will not be calling them again any time soon.

very well would use guy again

It went well, he was very good, it was excellent, it looks very nice, the shades are great.

He was supposed to show up at 9 and didn't show up till 11. He also called us from a blocked number when he said he would be late. He said he would go to Home Depot to purchase the stuff to weatherstrip our windows and doors and said he'd be back to do one window to show us the quality of his work. He never came back. He also mentioned that he was a polygamist with three wives in Jamaica which was weird. During that conversation, he told me something to the effect of "women were selfish" when I asked him about that. He was very rude to me.
