The person I originally talked with was not the person who came out for service but he was very good. Took pride in his workmanship

It went really well.  He did a great job, and achieved more than I had expected given the time.

I was happy with the first service and I purchased another one. The price was right. They came out within a week after I purchased the Big Deal. I did not go above and beyond the $79 Big Deal. That was the extent of it.

I think he did a good job installing the vent. We have had several substantial rains since the install with no leaks so he did the job right. However, I told the office when I scheduled the appointment exactly what I wanted and when he arrived he didn't know what he was doing. He also brought no materials so the first hour of the time I bought was spent figuring out what he needed to do and going to Home Depot for a materials run, which I paid for. Maybe my expectations are out of order but when I wasn't told this would happen so I am unhappy I paid for that hour. Particularly in light of the simplicity of the job. That said, I learned that next time I use a handy man I will buy all materials in advance. 
The guy that came out wasn't as professional as I would like. He did work the whole time he was actually here but also spent some time complaining as he did. As he was leaving he let me know I could contact him directly instead of Best Austin Handyman.
Once again the true measure of the work in this case is the size of the leak based on the hole in the roof and since one doesn't exist yest I am happy.
Response from Best Austin Handyman & Remodeling

"Unfortunately, even though we carry some supplies on our trucks, it's impossible to have everything required for every job. We always need to assess what's needed before doing the work even when given an explanation by the homeowner. In most cases it is necessary for us to take a trip to the hardware store to complete projects and we do bill for our time. It's smart to try to get all the materials ahead of time AND it's healthy to assume we will be taking at least one trip to the store."

Fine. I purchased the deal before speaking with them to confirm the final cost of the project. I new the project would take more than three hours. We could not agree on a final cost. He is aware that I am applying for a refund. I'll know in the future to confirm with the provider before purchasing a deal, when I know the work will exceed the deal amount.

I think it was okay. I felt like the time estimates provided were too high. I had one item as pressure wash driveway and garage and I was told that it would take 4 hours to do it. This is totally not reasonable time in my opinion. Also, the company wasn't available to work until 5 weeks and I was looking for service in at the most couple of weeks.
Response from Best Austin Handyman & Remodeling

"Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback. It takes approximately 4 hours for pressure washing services, and we block that time for our handyman to do their job efficiently. We apologize if our estimate didn't meet your expectations. If there is anything else we can do for you, please let us know."

It went well and I used a coupon and could have use a second one. They encourage me to "save it" for another call. Well, when I realized I needed service I noticed the coupon expired a few months after they were here. I just would like to have a refund.

"Thank you for your review, we appreciate you letting us know about your expired coupon. Please feel free to use your coupon with us at anytime, expired or not, we will honor it."

He was on time, courteous, and thorough. I initially thought he was overdoing the fix, but saw the wisdom in his designs as it progressed! Great job for a great price!

I was putting my house on the market and needed many interior doors painted.  It was a rush job and I knew I was asking a lot on top of the Angie's List Deal.  The owner was very accomodating and I went with him essentially because he met my timeline.
I went over all the work with the owner and the person doing the work (I'm sorry, I don't remember the names).  I had provided the paint to be used for the doors, but was told that I would need to get another 5 gal bucket.  Later, when I checked in, I was told that I needed to get another 5 gal bucket.  I was doubting his estimate, but I went out and bought another 5 gal bucket.  It turned out that I was right and only one extra gallon was needed.  Of course, you can't return custom paint.  Not too thrilled about that and I did let the owner know.  He was sympathetic, but didn't offer to offset my cost.
The quality of the work was fair.  It was a lot of doors in a short period of time.  They were done alright (I would say they just met the "acceptable" standard) but a set of closet doors were left out and I didn't catch that until it was too late. 
The bathroom showers looked great.  The time estimate of the work probably underestimated because the painting had to be rushed following the showers.  And you can't rush paint...
They were good in a pinch, but I would have done a better job myself.

"Thank you for your review, we appreciate your honesty. We apologize for your cost of the additional paint bucket, and if there is anything we can do to have your satisfaction we welcome your communication. Please feel free to contact us at anytime."

The service was okay, it wasn't great. I probably wouldn't hire him again. I don't know if he didn't know how to do the work or what, but it turned into a 2 day job with painting our wall.  That was frustrating.

Great! He purchased some really long lasting caulk that is sealed and wont crack or mold like the grout the tile contactor had used on installation of the tile.

There was some confusion between the repair person and the person who scheduled the service.   The technician did not show up at the appointed time so I called the company.   The scheduler was very apologetic and promised to contact the technician to find out what had happened.  I received a call back within 10 minutes and the technician was also apologetic and offered to come right away.   When he arrived, he was very professional and solved two problems quickly.  We were very pleased with the work and impressed that the company was extremely responsive and solved the scheduling problem quickly.

2 guys came out. They fixed a nasty place on top of my porch where my porch was rotting. They were so nice and so helpful. They explained what they were doing along the way and I liked that. I'd hire them back out in a heartbeat! They were excellent! They showed up right on time and went straight to work.

It really enjoyed working with this professional, whose name is Mike.  He was attentive to details and accomplished things quickly
and efficiently.  He was also very patient with me because I changed my mind on whether or not I wanted to install a new chandelier, and after installing a new one that I decided I didn't like, he uninstalled it for me right away and did not charge extra for doing so.  He did the same with the light fixture on the deck -- we tried one new one and then took it down and then installed another new one, which I kept.  The entire time he was professional and courteous and flexible in his ability to help me get done what I had in mind.  He is returning to do more work at the house in mid-June, at which time he will be installing more ceiling fans and installing the pendant lights in the kitchen, as well as more lighting outdoors.  We also plan to bring him back later in the year to do the bathroom remodel he created the sketch for.

The work done is horrible. He merely sawed a pice of wood the size of the hole and nailed it up over both the holes. The side of the garage was fixed with a cheap facer board that does not match the one on the other side. My husband could have nailed a board over the holes and saved us $149.00. We wanted an expert carpenter to repair the damage so it was back the way it was and match the other soffits around it. We wouldn't have minded paying extra if it would have taken more than four hours to accomplish that. Now, because of this experience with this Angie's List Deal, we are very leery to purchase another one. We will need to find a carpenter to come out and fix these properly. Austin Best Handyman may have contracted this job out as my daughter asked for a business card and it said: Lambjam Handyman Ed Rios He did them a real disservice!!
Response from Best Austin Handyman & Remodeling

"This post was the first we heard the homeowner was less than satisfied and we are sending out another Handyman to redo the work at no charge. We stand behind our work in all cases. Scroll through our other reviews and you will see that Ed Rios has received high marks from other customers... and yes, he works for us full time."
