Daryl was very responsive and to the point. I called to get a free estimate and he showed up on time on which i really appreciated. He gave me a verbal estimate of $200 that day then mailed me an official estimate (again for $200). He came over the course of two days to repair the plaster and he did an excellent job! Upon leaving, he stated that the job went better than expected gave me a discount due to the fact that he finished in less time than he originally anticipated. He cleaned up so well after himself that you would have never known he was there. Daryl will be the first person I call for my next handyman job! Great experience.

I called him and got his voicemail , I left a message and he promptly returned my call ....he was at my house the next day and repaired the leaks under my sink .He only charged me 93.00 which I thought was more than fair so I paid him extra .This is the second time that I have used his services . He could be a little friendlier as he finds out what the problem is and fixes it but there is little to no conversation ....make''s it seem a little uncomfortable or awkward .

Mr. Emes arrived at 8:30am, when he said that he would, and began working. He washed the house down, cleaned the gutters and then powerwashed the house. He cleaned up afterwards. Very professional.

He's an honest man. He's somebody you can trust. He's very down to earth and he's decent.

Mr. Emes was very knowledgable and professional. He did the work quickly and proficiently - and completed items over and above my expectations.

Well, it was all fine until the the day he said he was complete and left a bill on my island. He had only done one coat of paint and said "That was what we agreed on" I kindly explained to him, no, who does half a job, I wanted my whole kitchen done. In the end he made good. He was a super nice guy and the quality of work was very good. I wouldn't work with him again UNLESS I have a fully executed contract with every little detail written out and both sides signed.
He also hired "day" labor, which I asked him not to return with. The guy was gross and disgusting (the day laborer) and was swearing on the phone outside where my neighbors have kids. I highly suggested he never hire day laborers again.

He worked efficiently and professionally. Most of work was outside in 90degree weather! We were impressed with his attitude and productivity. The quality of Daryl's work was excellent and anytime we need additional maintenance work done, we plan to call Daryl!

He put in hot water heater scraped it up because he didnt have help. He was a very nice Man.
So 3 weeks later called him up wanted him to come back. Told him black smoke was coming out of chimney
and water heater not working properly.
He informed us that the the burner needed cleaned and he didn't do that. I think he should have made us aware that it needed
cleaned and didn't.

Daryl recently completed a job for us and was great as usual. This is the third project he has done for us. Everything was done well, on time and at a reasonable cost. He was very professional and courteous and made an extra effort to make sure everything was clean when he left. It is nice to just call one person to fix all fo the little things.

He assured me that he could do it, he talked like he knew what he was doing, but everything he did was wrong and bad. I had to get it all replaced. I told him that I was not going to pay for his work, and the only thing I did paid for was the material he used. That also had to be replaced anyway, because it was all the wrong material. All the cable wire he used was regular antenna wire which is used to connect to an antenna on the roof. It wasn't optical cable at all. The only thing he did well was finding the walls and putting the placards on the walls, and that looks good. But all the cables he used were wrong and they were no good, all the connections were bad, and I couldn't get internet service. He told me that it was a good thing that the cable guys were coming the next Saturday, and I asked him what then had I called him for. That's when I told him that I was not going to pay him. I had to have the cable people come here three times, they wound up replacing all the cables he ran, and that's when they told me that they was all cheap antenna cables. The connectors he used to connect to the cable company's cable coming out of the box were not of the right rating. They were cheap Radio Shack ones, and they were not allowing enough of the signal to go through. The work that he did in two days, took me three weeks to get straightened out with the cable people. He was terrible.

Response from The Christian Handyman
"I replaced a handrail on the front porch of their daughter's home and a storm door. I also replaced a dryer vent inside a wall and repaired a broken corner of their concrete porch. That was their original contract. I wasn't able to secure a section of the handrail due to a weak step, I secured it but it was not straight. It was corrected (secured and straighten) the next day. The storm door had a slightly oversized hole at the handle. I asked the owner how she would like it corrected, I offered to replace it or repair it and she agreeded to a plate behind the handle. I also informed them that due to a narrow place and the tight fit of the back door and the storm door that the window at the top of of the door needed to be opened slightly to vent the trapped air when the door closes or it would require a light push. The door closed properly when it closed before the main door. Somebody other than me then proceeded to try to "fix" the door on their own by "making all the necessary "adjustments". When I arrived and after completing the job, I was then told to do it over. They would not agree to the repairs that were made, would not pay for "any" work that was done, would not pay for the extra work (topping evergreen trees now growing in their gutter or the repair to the siding on the second floor, which was not in the original contract. As far was the "gouge" in the driveway (measuring 2 inches wide, 4 inches long and about 1 inch deep) I repaired it with black top. I can only say that I glad that I received a material deposit for the railing, or I would have been paying them to work on their home. Materials cost 410.00 Labor was free. Their suggestion was for me to replace the door and not charge for any installation. I decided not to return."
