"Thank you"
"The day we were to start the job I started getting phone call at 545 am when I answered it was the husband telling me he saved a parking spot then another call and anothe every time the wife was in the back round yelling and being nasty so after a few minutes of listening I decided it would be in my best interest not to get involved so I politely told them to get someone else"
"Thank you"
"Sometimes the customer has unreasonable expectations of the job in those cases we have to increase pricing to allow enough time to do the job their way all prices are givin up front the estimate is free"

"Thank you for your review I'm glad I could help"
BTW, they come out in a clean, professional looking van.
All in all a very competent and thorough job. He cleaned up nicely afterwards. You wouldn't have known he was there. Based on this experience I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Harvey the Handyman for general house repairs and painting.
"Thank you for your positive review"
I was very pleased with the work Harvey the Handyman's men did.

Today I saw a deal for Harvey the Handyman which was 2 hours work for $150. I read his reviews and he is highly rated so I paid my money and sent him an email letting him know where I live and that my hours are flexible. I received an email back from Harvey
letting me know I am too far away for him to travel. Just so you know this would be a trip of 13 miles and at a low traffic time could take 30 to 40 minutes. I am aware there is lots of work out there for an excellent handyman and they can be choosy about the jobs they take. However this is the reason I utilize Angie's List because I wish to eliminate the uncertainty of having to deal with such issues. I sent Harvey an email voicing my displeasure. I also spoke to someone at Angie's List and requested a refund. Harvey called me which I appreciated. He explained he usually does not work beyond a specific area and I told him he should make sure those that sign up for his deal know that upfront. He seemed confused by the $150 special and said he thought he may have offered it but blamed the List for the misunderstanding and said I should take it up with them. Frankly I was irritated by Harvey's and quot;geographically undesirableand quot; point of view so I decided to be and quot;hard nosedand quot; about it. I told him I had made the same trip he felt too far many times and it is not that far (his emailed conveyed that $150 for such a distance did not justify such a trip). Apparently Harvey found my irritability offensive and said he did not like my attitude so NOW he definitely would not make the trip because of it. Our call ended when he hung up on me. Anyway for those of you out there who have used Harvey and sing his praises he must do a good job which is why I wished to use him. However he should be and quot;demotedand quot; because he refuses to travel more than 15 minutes from his and quot;comfortand quot; zone which is just not user friendly. I find this to be somewhat of a misrepresentation of his services. I also chide Angie's list for not being more cognizant of this and offering a paid and quot;up frontand quot; deal from someone who will not honor it.
"I don't know what else I could have done I responded to her emails and phone calls right away.call Angie's list to get her money refunded.she paid Angie's list I never received any money from her and never promised to work on her house I explained that I was not willing to sit in traffic for 45 to55 minutes each way and refused to argue with her about it.she became very hostile so I respectfully hung up"
"Very sorry you may have been tring the other Harvey the handyman in Delaware county if it was me I am very sorry please try again 215-233-2023"
"Thank you glad I could help"
"Thank you it is a pleasure working for you and [name removed]"
"Thank you it was very nice working for you"
"Thank you very much it's always a pleasure working at your house"
"Sorry we could not help I prepared a estimate for her reverse mortgage company but they want with a cheaper estimate that I could not match"
