I was pleased and would definitely use again.
Description of Work: multiple repairs -including replacing toilet tank innards, mounting hooks, door stop, installing drapery hardware, baseboard, painting radiator covers. I supplied all parts includ paint. Steve was prompt & did good work. This was a 4hour job price. I do not recall the cost but remember feeling it was reasonable

Overall, went well. I think the responsiveness was excellent and painting job was also excellent. I just think the price could've been more reasonable.
Description of Work: Crown molding installed (I purchased), bedroom painted (3 walls white, 1 wall (accent) green). Door & woodwork in bedroom painted. 3 other doors stained (wood hollow) in upstairs. Also, new curtain rods hung & wall mirror hung.

Don't let him in your house. Harvey only makes the estimate and the empty promises of satisfaction; unknown, un-introduced others do the work. Harvey claimed to be able to do the job. The workman arrived without tools for the job. The workman did not fill the uneven floor first, but using a 1/4and quot; tooth trowel ( 1/16thand quot; is specified on the adhesive's label) tried to fill cavities 1/4and quot; deep with glue. The result was a floor that was bubbly, lumpy and squishy for over 2 weeks. A vinyl floor should be rolled to effect consistent adhesion. They didn't have a roller. They borrowed a rolling pin from my kitchen, which proved inadequate. Rolled with pressure, great gobs of glue came oozing out the edges. I called Harvey back the next day and told him to take it out, scrape off the adhesive while it was still wet, and do the job right. (I had extra flooring material.) He stormed out . Maybe the glue has dried after 3 months : the depressions present before installation show, prominently, double ugly, and the workman created some new ones by cutting away parts of the existing sheet flooring. The fit, however, was perfection.
Description of Work: The job was to install new wall-to-wall sheet vinyl I supplied, in order to have a flat floor, free of indents and cavities caused by removal of the old john, prior to my plumber installing a new one. Bathroom is approximately 5 x 5 feet.

I would not use the service again. He claimed to offer free estimates, which he technically did. However, when he showed up the next day to do the work, he dropped off his toolbox and left for an hour to run to the hardware store for the screws and supplies he needed for the job. At the end of the day, he charged me for the time he was there, including the hour where he was out at the store. He already knew what he needed from the free estimate. SInce he charged by the hour, I thought this was ridiculous. His only response was, if you don't like it, don't use me again. I could not imagine a painter showing up at a job site, dropping off a toolbox and running out for paint and supples. You should show up with the tools needed for the job, especially when you know exactly what needs to be done beforehand. What a rip off.
Description of Work: My kitchen cabinets were falling down because the previous installer (not Handyman Harvey) had not properly installed them. I used the service to reinstall them and reinforce them to make sure they would not fall down again. I also had two traps reinstalled under two sinks because they were not properly installed by someone else (not Handyman Harvey)

We will not purchase any material prior to the start of a job to many people cancel at the last minute or reschedule unforgonitly we can not carry all things needed sometimes we have to go pick up material this takes time I have no problem with the customer going to pick up material or if it is waiting at job site for us this will save time and money

It took several calls to get Harvey to come over but his reviews were good so I persevered. While he was nice enough to me, my staff (I work at home) did not like his personality. He was unwilling to give me a clear idea of what the overall cost for the project (to expand cabinets in my kitchen) and quoted me an hourly rate that on the high side of reasonable. I felt like he was an honorable guy and seemed to know what he was doing (although he made it clear he would not be doing the work personally). I called several times a few weeks later to offer him the job and after 3 calls never heard back.
Description of Work: No services were performed.

Sorry ur staff did not like me I showed up on time and patiently waited for the customer to meet with me took the time to look at his project at no charge presented the customer with his options explained our hourly rate and gave him a verbal estimate of how long it would take the customer says I didn't return his call I have no record of his follow up call maybe he was calling other handyman because I take great pride in returning every call as far as my pricing I am almost half price compared to other reputable handyman services in my area I have contacted the customer in an attempt to rectify his review I feel the customer's review is very out of line

He did excellent work. He's the kind of person who really thinks about what the real problem was and tried to fix it. He thinks beyond the obvious and tries to correct the problem. When he was here, he gave a 100%.
Description of Work: I had a bunch of little things around the house that I need the handyman to do. He did some painting, he hung some shades and a door, and he fixed some electrical stuff.

It's just one person there. I don't know the pricing, as my husband deals with that. He is great, creative and is a problem solver. He does a great job. He has a great personality and is conscientious. He does his work on time and is extremely reliable. His quality is excellent. I will use his services forever and always.
