Not good! We still need our bathrooms remodeled. European Handyman received great reports from Angie's List, but we can't even get an estimate out of him. Estimated cost was $5,000.
Description of Work: We contacted European Handyman for our estimate based on the glowing reports from Angie's List. I had to call twice before getting a response. We met with the owner and showed him several projects, including remodeling two bathrooms. That was six weeks ago and counting. No estimates. No response. Nothing. In the business world we work in, estimates are expected within two days, if not faster. I'm amazed that contractors find it acceptable to take weeks to put together an estimate. That is part of the job. That has been our experience with contractor after contractor. They're willing to come out and look at the job...and then don't bother to put together the estimates.

Excellent. By using European Handyman one finds a skilled person who has taken the appropriate classes and passed the certification in his specialties before living in the USA.
Description of Work: Our kitchen sink was stopped up. He came out within 30 minutes and corrected the problem.

He responded in a reasonable time to my message requesting a handyman, and came to my house to review what I wanted done and give me a quote. His workmanship is thorough and of high quality. He is one of the very few people who have done work on my house with which I was totally satisfied.
Description of Work: They cleaned the gutters, reattached siding, and replaced a roller on the garage door.

This was our first remodeling job. Our bathroom was very old, dated and in bad condition. European Handyman was a complete pleasure to work with. He is extremely skilled and quite detail oriented which was very pleasing. Whenever a problem arises he is quick and diligent about finding a solution and consults you 100% of the way. It was a 6 week project and never once did we mind having him around the house. He is so trustworthy that we gave him a key and left him the house when we went out of town. He is very timely, always calling if he is running a little late. He cleans up after himself every single day so the rest of our house remained clean and dust-free. He is the dream guy for the job. I always hear of horror stories with remodeling, but I have to say that my husband and I were beyond pleased with the job and the European Handyman. The bathroom is gorgeous; our friends can't believe that we didn't have a crew of men. We will absolutely use him again and again. He's a true find!
Description of Work: Total remodeling of bathroom, including: new tile floor, new tile walls, putting in an exhaust fan, new electrical, installed new lighting, new plumbing in bath, replaced toilet, installed vanity and sink, painting, installed new frames around window, bathroom door and closet door, repaired old walls, installed new drywall throughout.

Dietmar works very fast and efficiently and cleaned up everything. He came up with a good solution for my attic windows, which had never fit right. He did a good job replacing my outside spigots and even had a part on his truck to cut and repair the end of the hose, which was leaking. He also nailed a loose board back on the garage that had occurred since I had talked to him. He is hoping to go full time as a handyman now, which will make it easier for me to have him over to do things, because he usually could only make an appointment in late afternoon after his "day job," and since I start work in late afternoon, that meant there was only about one day a week that my schedule meshed with his. Dietmar has a wide range of knowledge of how to do carpentry, repair, and other jobs. He always shows me the work and asks if it is OK before moving on to the next task.
Description of Work: They fixed the attic windows (centered tilt-in windows in the frames and added shims so they fit tighter and better and do not flop around in the wind; realigned latches, added weep holes) and replaced outside spigots ($250). Later Dietmar reinstalled the window he had repaired, adjusted my attic windows, filled a hole in the siding, re-caulked above a window, fixed a hose connection, cut some tree branches over the garage, removed a wooden bracket in the garage, and took measurements to build me a new door to a basement storage room, plus a few other things ($170).

Dietmar was wonderful. He had good attention to detail and kept me informed of his progress throughout the projects. The price for the stair repair was $350-600 cheaper than other quotes I received. I would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: Re-faced some stair risers with new boards and painted them. They had a lot of carpet glue on them and sanding them down before painting was too costly. Installed electrical switches in most rooms of our house.

Dietmar removed old exhaust fan. He then noticed that the microwave I purchased had a large dent on the side that would show. He continued to get the area prepared while I ran to a home improvement store to exchange the microwave. Unfortunately, the only other microwave like I wanted was also dented. Dietmar then made arrangements to come back after I was able to find a dent-free microwave. He did a beautiful job installing the microwave. He carted away all trash, box, and old exhaust fan. I will use him again.
Description of Work: Installed an above stove microwave.

I discovered late one night that my toilet was running and I could not figure out what was causing it not to shut off. We were going to be out of town in a week's time so I wanted it fixed before I left town. I called Dietmar, who had done several repairs for me before. He came over that same morning, and even though I had to leave the house to run an errand, he took a quick look at it, then went to the store to get the part. I left the door open and when I came home, he had finished and left me the invoice. I really appreciate the prompt response.
Description of Work: Dietmar replaced a toilet valve in my toilet.

Dietmar arrived promptly and worked neatly and efficiently. He was prepared and had the proper equipment for the jobs. He cleaned the areas after the job was complete. He was friendly and polite and concerned that he was doing the job to our satisfaction.
Description of Work: Dietmar re-installed our sinks and installed two new sets of faucets for the sinks. In addition he checked our gas line to our gas grill for a possible leak. There was none. He also re-installed shoe molding in our kitchen which had detached. Before leaving our home he gave us an estimate for installing a pull down staircase in our garage.

Deitmar was thorough, very quick and responsive. We will definitely have him back for other work in the future.
Description of Work: Deitmar helped us mount a trap to catch a squirrel that was entering our attic via a hole outside the house near the roof. We caught the squirrel, and then Deitmar returned to close the entrance. He also then inspected around our entire house, eaves and roof closing all other possible entries.

Overall, it went well. In particular, he did a good job with flooring and paneling. Was a little disappointed that he could not complete job sooner. It took two weeks longer to complete the projects than was anticipated. He is worth the wait though.
Description of Work: Put ceramic tile floor in bathroom, installed sink, toilet, measured, and installed new cabinet doors. Also measured and installed wainscoting paneling. Completed a few other minor jobs.

Job 1: Dietmar, the Handyman, was (Great!) Great personality. Great rate and excellent work. Neat and organized. Returned calls immediately. Will definitely use him on (all) of my odd jobs. Job 2: Keep up the good work.
Description of Work: Job 1: Given estimate to replace shower, to be done soon. Replaced toilet, installed safety bars. Job 2: Replaced old shower stall and hot water tank. Due to poor construction of stall previously Dietmar of European Handyman had to piece new stall together to make every thing fit. He did a terrific job. He is my new "go to guy" for all home improvement jobs. He is fast, honest, polite and efficient.

It was a bit slow from initial estimate to completion due to circumstances, but we were in no hurry. When completed, the workmanship was first rate, and the cost came in below estimate. He is a very pleasant man and takes apparent pride in doing good work.

I thought Dietmar was very efficient, fast and thorough. He worked without any breaks to get the work done. He cleaned everything up afterwards. Even though I said I could prime some of the areas myself later, he insisted on doing it. I thought the price was reasonable and when he knew he would be delayed in getting to my house, he called to let me know. The only downside is that because Dietmar does his work in the late afternoon (after his ''day job'') and I have to go to work at that same time, since I work evenings, it is harder for me to arrange an appointment for an evaluation and estimate than it would be for some people. He was able to do the work on my day off, Monday, so that worked out OK.
Description of Work: Removed cracked and rotted siding boards and trim piece above window, installed new siding boards and trim piece and primed and caulked the area.

Mr. Senft is extremely pleasant to work with, fair, honest, and does excellent work. I'm certain we will hire him again.
Description of Work: Mr. Senft leveled and re-supported a cast-iron bathtub (not a claw-foot tub). Per our request, the work was done with the tub in place, so access behind the tub was quite limited, and there was a lot of fussy fitting work to get the supports in.

Dietmar went over and beyond all expectations. He performed outstanding, neat work. He was on time, very polite, thorough, very clean and very reasonably priced. He was insistent on trying to find a solution for my broken toilet tank other than to replace it. (toilets and tanks come together with different hookups nowadays). He found a store that still sells the old parts, and fixed the tank for the portion of the price it would have cost to replace it. I was very satisfied with the work. The bathroom (floor and furniture) looked immaculate after he left! I will use his services again.
Description of Work: Bathroom: -installed drywall in the ceiling where it was missing, fitting it around pipes and existing pieces. -installed sink, faucet and cabinet -repaired toilet tank.
