"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."
"It went well! I expected it to take a long time to get it picked up, but I called for the bag to be emptied on Friday and they were here Saturday! I am already filling it up again. (We have a MESS from the storm and need to finish the kitchen before this weekend's company coming in from out of town.) I have already called them to request my bag be emptied on Friday, and they have me on the schedule! I can't believe the customer service is so great! This is not a regular dumpster company. I have a dumpster delivered last summer and they gouged my driveway. What a nightmare it was to get them to pay for the driveway to be fixed. NEVER AGAIN! It's BullBag only for our future needs."
"Excellent! Could not be happier with the service, professionalism and courtesy provided. I would recommend Handyman Matters to anyone in the Rhode Island service area in need of such services. I would not hesitate to hire again."
"I highly recommend Donnavan and his Team. they are pros at what they do. They outdid themselves with the level of service they provided. Donnavan and Rasta came out to install my security system, very detail-oriented, knowledgeable, Professional, and punctual. I will hire again shortly for another Job. Very cost-effective, you will never find a price like his around. I highly recommend Donnavan for all your electrical services."
"This was the BEST experience from start to finish. Quality work, clear communication and punctual completion of this project just in time for summer! I will be hiring them anytime I need remodeling at my home, and absolutely would recommend to any family, friends or south county community members. Thank you for making what could’ve been a headache of a project, a total ease!"
"Was scheduled to begin the work Monday morning and was told it would go for most of the day. They called Monday morning about an hour before their scheduled arrival to reschedule due to chance of rain in the forecast. Why they couldn’t check the forecast the night before and give more of a heads up is beyond me. They said they’d be at my home first thing the next day. First thing became 12:00 pm. After roughly an hour & a half they said they’d be back in “about and hour” as they had to pick up another worker to dig out roots. They finally returned nearly 2 hrs later, and said they’d be working until “probably 7:00” that evening. Around 4:45 pm they packed up their equipment and left for the night, without any notification. My neighbors even commented it seemed like they were barely there. Finally, after what I was told would be an all day job turned into a few hrs over 3 days job, they were finally “finished”. Upon arriving home, I saw they had cut down the other 4 bushes/trees I had wanted out, but did not dig them out. There was a note left on my door; "Those roots are too deep for what was quoted. You need to pay us more to dig them out." The quality of the completed work was very good. Their lack of customer communication and sticking to an agreed schedule was extremely frustrating."
"Abraham did a great job! I had a few blinds in my new apartment that needed to be installed. He came in, measured appropriately, and before I knew it the blinds were all hung up. He was a joy to be around and made the experience great. Overall 10/10, will definitely be calling him again for any handyman needs around my place."

The primary drawback of an outdoor court is that weather, such as rain and wind, can hinder playing time. An indoor court solves this problem, allowing you to play anytime. However, installing an indoor court can be costly and takes up a significant amount of space that might otherwise serve as a living area.
