It was very good and they are punctual. I'll definitely use them again and recommend them again. They not cheap but they're excellent. I like the professionalism and he worked hard. He's conscientious and he was concern about the home. He makes sure of what he does and he has good communication. The main thing is that you get what you paid for. If you want good work, they're the one.

workman was very nice but clearly didn't have the needed skills. we paid good money for really little repairs
Response from Ace Handyman Services South Pittsburgh
"The work was scheduled and reviewed with the members wife. We did our troubleshooting and completed several jobs. Some of the work would have involved additional equipment and would require more manpower to complete and she did not want to get in to the additional expense until she reviewed the work with her husband. Our rates are very competitive and the member did take advantage of our $25 discount for Angie's List customers!"

I was very satisfied with Handyman Matters. The handyman showed up well on time and was friendly. The man fixed the problems as was asked to do so. Also, I needed my outside cracked water pipe fixed that was connected to the outdoor water spout in which the handyman fixed; moreover, we noticed that the spout itself needed to be replaced because of a consistent drip. The handyman was willing to go to the hardware store for a second time to get the part even when this was not originally planned to be fixed upon his arrival. The handyman was also willing to answer my concerning questions.

Had I known that they charge $30 to give an estimate, I would not have even called them. I have since gotten 4 other estimates from 4 other contractors and was not charged by any of them for their estimates. Handyman's estimator was in and out of my house in 15 minutes because he determined that they could not do the work I needed done because of a plumbing problem. Their location is less than 3 miles from my house and they charge me $30? I will never consider them again
for anything!

"The work scheduled was not an estimate it was to repair sub floor and install tile. When we arrived we inspected the area and found that their plumbing contractor repaired one area but there was still an existing leak that we discovered and brought to their attention. We told them that the leak would need to be repaired before closing up the floor and installing tile. We offered to repair the leak and install the flooring but they wanted to use the same plumber because of a warranty issue. We have a 1 hour minimum and a $30 service charge. However we did waive the 1 hour charge and only charge for the $30 service charge for our time which was more that fair considering the problem they have is a result of an incomplete job done by their plumber."

I was looking to find a carpenter to replace our exterior back door and called this firm. They were able to schedule the job within a week's time of me placing the call. I was completely satisfied with the job Handyman Matters did in replacing our back door on our house in Whitehall. Their man Pat was punctual, courteous, professional and did a great job in a very reasonable amount of time. I would highly recommend their services!

Kevin was prompt and professional. Kevin always had the materials and made excellent recommendations. I know what it takes to do certain jobs around the house, Kevin was more than what I expected AND knew what to do without my advise.

The handyman knew how to hang the pictures, mirrors and the right screws to put in the walls. The process took 3 hours and since it was an hourly charge it was more expensive than I expected. In discussing the request when I made the call, the discussion was it that should only take one hour due to the basic nature of the work.
I was glad the pictures were hung straight and the right screws were used but it is concerning to me that depending on who is sent to your home to do the job the pace of completion varies. When it is a basic job, a standard price should be given so it is not based on the "skill" or speed of the handyman.
I feel that I was over charge for the services render. Very disappointing because I really was hoping that I could have a regular handyman I could call as needed. This service provider is not one you would build a long lasting relationships due to the way the services are billed. The variability could leave the client with an unreasonable bill for the services provided.

"I was pleased to see the 4 "A" grades in the Quality, Responsiveness, Punctuality, and Professionalism categories. As to the "C" grade for Price, I think we would have had to sacrifice 1 or more of our "A" grades above in order to improve our "C" grade for pricing. I know the member was frustrated because she had someone else try and fail to hang the pictures and mirror. This caused additional work to patch many holes they had placed incorrectly. Our Craftsman did review the projects with the member before starting to work and the patching, picture hanging, and hanging of heavy mirror were completed is a timely manor. We completed the three projects on her list and if price was the most important thing, then she could have had us stop after completion of any one of the three projects, since we only have a one hour minimum. The member had us complete all three projects and was happy with the finished product. As to the overall grade of "C", when I went to school 4 "A's" and 1 "C" did not translate into an overall grade of a "C". I think the Angie's List team needs to review their grading system, in order to be fair to everyone!"

Work was slow with one person working, although bath rms don't leave much room for two people. Did have second person help out with doors. Returned to redo several problems----slow drain in one shower, uneven tile in a small area. Still waiting for adjustment to one shower door and some caulking. Worker was very agreeable and willing to return for any future problems.

"Having one of the worst winters in many years did present some challenges, including traveling to and from the home, deliveries delayed due to weather in other states, along with carrying supplies through icy walkways. We hope winter is over for now! Also, custom tile work was added to original contract and did take additional time, but it sure did turn out great! See pictures on our website. Sometimes it takes a little longer to complete a job right and regardless of the weather we will stay to finish our work to our customers satisfaction."

A cabinet had to be special ordered for the laundry room to cover some exposed pipes. I requested additional cabinets along the wall which were of standard size. Kevin worked on the project. I showed him cabinets online that I liked. He measured everything, gave suggestions on how to get around the pipe. He went to Lowes and looked for cabinets that met my requirements. The standard size cabinets were in stock and he ordered another cabinet with sizing required to cover the pipe area. When the ordered cabinet arrived, he obtained it from Lowes and cut out the back in
specific areas to avoid the pipe area yet provide stability to the cabinet and leave the base shelf for storage. He installed all three cabinets. They look great! Kevin has done a couple of other jobs for me and I have been extremely satisfied. He is very professional and personable. I will definitely use Handyman Matters again and would recommend them to anyone.Response from Ace Handyman Services South Pittsburgh

Randy was very thorough in the estimation process, and clear about what was included in the estimated price. (We purchased our own exhaust fan, vanity/sink, and toilet, and everything else included.) The project was completed on time and on budget, and we were very happy with the professionalism of Kevin, who did most of the work, and his helper (sorry, I don't remember the helper's name). We had one minor hitch when we went to use the shower for the first time, but Randy sent someone out right away and they diagnosed the problem and fixed it within one day. Overall very pleased and will call on Handyman Matters again for future work (we have a lot to do on our house).

The work was fine, but not what I was expecting. So, another handyman returned for a day and completed the work to my satisfaction, no extra charge. Good people to work with that go the extra mile to assure satisfaction.

I would just like to say this was the best contractor that I have ever hired.
I contacted Handyman Matters to have some Crown molding and shadow boxes (wall frame) installed in my house. I left a voicemail and got a prompt response back from Randy. I made an appointment to have them look at the work and the person (Lee) was there and was on time for the appointment. Once the estimate was complete we schedule the work.
The carpenter showed up everyday until the job was complete and he was very professional.
The work he did was extraordinary. I will be using this contrator in the future for other projects I have around the house.

Before my experiences with Handyman Matters, I have always been able to rely on my husband to do all the handyman work for our family. So, I was really spoiled. But he has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor and can no longer do much work around our home. Thus, I found Handyman Matters on Angies List and contacted them to see if they would be able to help make some critical accommodations to allow my husband to get around in our home. The staff was incredibly responsive and even expedited their schedule to have one of their handymen come out to put up a railing to allow my husband to go up and down stairs. I loved the individual they sent out, Lee. He was professional, prompt, and polite. He was very thorough yet efficient handling each of the jobs we asked him to do. I especially appreciated that Lee patiently allowed my husband to be the assistant from his wheelchair. It meant a lot to my husband to be involved. Overall, It was a fantastic experience. Everyone at Handyman Matters reflects a top quality and caring organization. We will most certainly continue to use them for our "handyman" needs!

I was pleased with these guys
1) A real person ( Sandy) answers the phone and always calls back.
2) They always call the night before visiting.
3) They call on their way to the job
4) They call to make sure you were happy with the job
They do what they say they are going to do and always show on time.
Tony completed the work and was really good to deal with. As soon as I saw him turn up in a clean , tidy and organized truck I knew it should be a good deal. I would use them again. It is a shame that all experiences with contractors can't be this good.

I couldn't be more pleased with the work they did. I originally called to have the baseboards replaced in my basement. The old baseboards had been damaged by flooding. Looking around, I also realized that there were several other jobs I had been "meaning to get around to" for quite some time but hadn't actually done any of them. During the initial visit, I pointed these out and we added them to the list. They included replacing the guts of three toilets, replacing two light switches, repairing a loose wall light, repairing a damaged access door in the basement, and repairing damaged insulation around an air conditioning conduit in the basement. Tony set to work and when I got home that night, most of the matters were fixed. The baseboards required him to come back the next day to finish. If it hadn't been for him, the stuff would still be broken and I would still be telling myself I would get around to fixing it "eventually". I can't describe how nice it is to have a bunch of jobs that would have taken me weeks to do (assuming I ever got around to doing them) done in two days. The work was well done. Tony cleaned up everything when he left and even left me spare parts in case I need them in the future. Overall, they did an excellent job.

They are amazing. They charged me $35 an hour. They were really a nice experience. It was really nice to have a general handyman to do everything. They were on time which is great, they were fast and affordable.

Love 'em! From scheduling the estimate to the clean up, Randy, Sandra and his installer, Wes, were great. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sandra returned our call and scheduled the appointment for the estimate, explaining everything in detail. Randy came out to the house, took measurements, and had the estimate to us within 24 hrs or so. He spec'd the material for us to purchase, which was really helpful and much appreciated. After we received the ceramic tile, Randy scheduled the work for the following week. Randy met Wes, his installer, at our place first thing in the morning. We reviewed the details of the job, and Wes went to work. Three days later, we had a beautifully tiled tub surround. We'd use them again in a heartbeat.
