There seems to be a disconnect here. We repaired a set of french doors and did some wood rot repair on the exterior of the home. We did all of this in the time allotted by the coupon purchased and repaired the french doors at no extra cost to the homeowner. Coupons are sometimes a double edged sword for us but a great way to meet people we can enjoy working with.

We purchased two separate angieslist deals for areas in need of repair. It did take a little longer than anticipated to get the job scheduled. However, our contractor showed up right on time got right to work. He was thoughtful of the best way to make repairs and worked hard to get everything just right. The deck and fence look great - we couldn't be happier with the work! We will definitely look to Best Austin Handyman for future projects.

I bought the Big Deal for 2hrs of Handyman service. Scheduling was easy. However, there was a lot of push back on what could be done within the 2hrs, I felt there was a strong push to upsell as well. On the day of the scheduled service, the handyman, Jaspel, came on time. He fixed the pull out drawer on a cabinet and cleaned out the dryer vent without much fuss. I would recommend them.

I can't say enough good things about this company. They contacted me promptly. The handyman called me ahead of time so I could make sure I had the right supplies. He showed up and worked straight through for over 7 hours. I offered tea or coffee, but he never took a break. The work he did was perfect. I will definitely use this company again. I just hope all the people that work for them are as good as Mike.

handyman service, replacement windows
  + 0 more
It appears that Best Austin Handyman is no longer in business. I called several times last week and all I received was a recording. I left 2 messages but no one responded. Last November they installed a window for me. Sunday 2.16.14 I noticed the glass was cracked. I suspected it was caused by settlement. I went to where I bought my window and was told that the window must be shimmed correctly to allow for settlement problems. I called BAH to ask them to come back and check that the window was installed correctly and if it was then I could have the glass replaced. If the window is not installed correctly then the glass would probably just break again. The installer could also be retrained. I would think BAH would like to know their workers can do the jobs they are assigned to. I have two other windows on that side of the house and they have not cracked. I was faced with trying to find someone else to check my window before I can have glass installed but John came back and installed the window. The old window was difficult to remove and the new one does seem to work better. This problem would have been solved months ago if home depot had done their job. I feel like the problem has been solved and hopefully there would be no additional problems but they should work on their customer service.
Description of Work: Installed window last November.

We spoke to this client, our handyman is returning to inspect the situation regarding the window. Upon completion of inspection we hope to ensure this client is satisfied. We also recognize there are some clients and situations that having them satisfied is not as likely or possible as we would like it to be and in doing so we reserve the right to refuse to do business with such clients.

Charles called the day before to confirm the appointment; when he arrived, he was prompt, professional and personable. We walked the fence line together, and I showed him what I was wanting fixed and he pointed out a couple of things I had not noticed. He then walked it on his own to notate his findings and provide an estimate. Due to rot and instability, one of the posts in the gate had to be replaced - at a minimal flat fee - which after departing to purchase the materials (including concrete) he did. I had some extra pickets, which - at no extra cost - he used to replace the broken one's that were not incldued in my "deal". I was extremely satisfied with him and the work that he did, and would definately use this company again for other work.
Description of Work: Removed and replaced a gate post and several pickets plus nailed the pickets that were loose on the fence.

Mike Terry came at the scheduled time and went right to work. He was organized, focused and knowledgeable of his multiple trades. He cleaned up as he went, and finished every item on my list with a pleasant demeanor and respect. The rotted wood on the chimney cap was our highest concern because, except for Austins Best Handyman, all others had declined the job due to the height of the chimney and/or lack of their own insurance coverage for this purpose. The quality of the work was outstanding!

It went really well. They were very prompt. We were able to schedule an appointment within a week of purchasing the deal. The person who came out did a really good job and they answered all of my questions. When they sent me an estimate of the renovation, they answered all of those questions as well. We have not yet scheduled any work but we are probably going to use them.

MIke was a big help as well as the owner. He came by and made sure all was well with the job. Get this, some of the wood on the railings of the porch was new treated wood, so we agreed I would pay the last 100 of the job when Mike came back after 6 months so the wood could age. Sure enough in Jan 2014, I texted Mike and he came out and finishe the railing for me and did a great job. such a nice guy to be around and very good at what he does...no mess no clean up after he left!
Description of Work: Mike made sure all the old paint was scraped off the porch, cleaned and dried before we put a sealant on it and replaced some of the railings. He also oversaw the painting of the apartment house behind the big house.

I was disappointed. Having been in the home improvement business myself, I never charged for a bid or a drawing of a project. I was however in this case willing to pay the $50 because I was supposed to get a consultation/drawing from an interior designer. The designer never showed up as promised and I never received a rendering, drawing or designer's suggestion of design ideas. The owner came out and was a nice fellow. He offered some opinions and suggestions and said he'd have a bid for us within a week. That week came and went. I called to inquire and he said he had had trouble getting measurements of our interior from the builder (?) To save him a trip and me some time, offered to take the necessary measurements and send them to him. A few days later I still had not received a bid or drawing so I called. The owner said he had sent it but I hadn't received it. A couple more days passed still no bid so I called again. Turned out he was sending it to the wrong email address which is (IMO) unacceptable since I had emailed him the measurements earlier. Once I received the bid, again no drawing, the bid did not fit the scope of work we discussed. I called and was told he sent the wrong one that he had several jobs going at once etc etc. I told him I was disappointed because I had paid for a designer consultation. He sent the appropriate offered to reduce the price of the job by $100 if I went with him. I explained It wasn't the $50 but the input of a designer I was willing to pay for. We had also inquired about having some work done to our back yard. He sent someone he described as a landscape designer out to look at our yard. I spoke with this person and we discussed what I wanted done. About a week and a half later, I got the bid. This one was on target as to the scope of work but again, no drawing. As I mentioned earlier, I have been in this business and never charged for a bid or a drawing of a potential project. In this case I was willing to pay for a professional designer's consultation but never received one. Therefore, I don't think I got any value for my $50. No big deal but I'll not be using these folks.

Originally, I wanted my gate adjusted - I had a big space between the lock & gate that needed minimizing. I also wanted the lock reversed. However, that wasn't possible due to the lock I had. He had to buy another lock to install on the other side of the gate, and he couldn't close the gap as much as I'd have liked. He was very neat - cleaned up after himself and picked up his tools and cigarette butts.

It went beautifully. It was a gift that I gave my son, he needs a new deck and he has the plans and he loves the plans. He hasn't done the deck as yet but he was very pleased with everything. The deal was that they would come out and draw the plans for you. Talk to you, measure it and draw the plans. So that was the work and it was done wonderfully. She was a sweetheart that came and they did a wonderful job so I was very, very pleased.
