The person sent to do these various jobs was absolutely top-notch. Extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. I would hire him again in a second.
Description of Work
I had a bunch of small jobs that needed to be done - as small as changing some ceiling light bulbs, and stopping a ceiling fan from going around (broken switch).

Russ was great--very responsive, prompt, and got the work done with great results, despite it being a bigger job than I think he originally anticipated. He also let us know if he or his colleague were held up in any way and wouldn't be making it at the scheduled time. We were very pleased with the whole process, our kitchen wall looks great, and we don't worry about that leak anymore. We've since recommended him to friends and will definitely call on Russ for other jobs in the future.
Description of Work
Russ and his colleague repaired damaged drywall in our kitchen, as well as the hole in our stucco that caused the damage by letting water in. The drywall was a big fix because the whole length of the wall was affected, along with the ceiling. The drywall that was originally used turned out to be a variety of sizes, so Russ and David had to find matching sheets and come back several times. They smoothed out the walls, sanded, and cleaned up nicely every time. And that was just the inside--the outside stucco had to be repaired as well, and that was done successfully. We haven't seen evidence of a leak since.

It took a couple tries to get connected to Russ, but once we did, everything went well. He came out the same day to see the job and give an estimate. He made some suggestions for making the repair go smoothly, noticed some other things and provided a fair estimate. He came first to replace a leaking hot water heater and then later to repair the drywall after serve pro had been there to remove the damage. He was on time, courteous, cleaned up, and was right on target with the estimate. I will definitely use him again in the future.
Description of Work
Replaced hot water heater, replaced dryer duct, repaired drywall and trim after water damage.

Very well. We were extremely pleased and have used Russ several more times recently. We have recommended him to several friends, all of whom have been pleased with his work.
Description of Work
Russ is the consummate professional as is Lou who works with him. They are honest, reliable, knowledgeable, and hard working. Russ did a large number of jobs, large and small, as we were getting our house ready to sell. Every task was done promptly and the results were excellent.

I had several small projects to be completed. I had asked ahead of time what would be charged so I knew what to expect and was told it was an hourly rate. He was late, and ended up charging me for more than the time he was here and also charged some sort of additional fee, like a location fee, which I was never told about. When I ask someone how much a job is going to cost, I expect an honest answer that includes any and all "hidden fees." I questioned the additional fee and was told it is his standard additional fee and he said he "thought" he had told me about it - he hadn't. The quality of the work was OK and would have been worth what I thought I was going to pay - certainly not what I ended up paying. I have many more projects that I will be hiring someone for and it is unfortunate that someone would want to make a little extra money on one job and ruin future business opportunities.
Description of Work
Several small projects.

I should have been clearer with expectation for her. I never looked at the work and only gave her a ball park estimate over the phone. Even though we normally charge a $20 trip charge, I had waived that on the 1st job I did for her, but didn’t make that clear with her. She questioned the trip charge but paid the invoice. As soon as I found out through this rating that she was dissatisfied, I called and left a message with her. This was over a month since I had done the work. I offered to do what it would take to make it right. I never received a call back or other contact. That offer still stands. She said that she was flexible on her schedule and I called prior to the time I was to arrive to let her know I was running late. As I recall, I was less than 30 minutes late. She had described the light fixture I was to install as “the wiring and everything is in place and ready to go”. There was a switch box with a blank cover, but no switch. I recommended a dimmer switch since it was in a dining area. I was able to find one on my truck. They cost about $15. After putting the fixture together, I figured out the wiring, wired the switch, and installed the lighting. I also installed a wall mount for a TV and the TV. The total cost for mounting a TV on the wall, putting together a light fixture, installing the light fixture, figuring out the wiring and installing a dimmer switch, with the cost of the dimmer switch was $125. The work was all done in a quality manner.Jeffrey F.

Russ is great. He is knowledgeable, meticulous about his work, on time, neat, and very pleasant to deal with. He clearly takes pride in the quality of his work as does his able assistant, Lou. They are a pleasure to work with and have a solution for every problem. I cannot recommend them highly enough and would use them again without hesitation. I highly recommend Russ and Charlottesville Handyman Services, LLC.
Description of Work
A number of repair jobs necessary to get our house ready to sell. Including everything from switching out light fixtures to installing a new bathroom vanity and sink to installing 2 doors.

Description of Work
Russ Melton, the owner, is really good at what he does. He provides very responsive home repair / handyman services and has excellent quality of work. We recently bought a home we intend to use as a rental and have hired him based on our experiences with him, to be our on-call repairman for the property. We have also hired him to be our key custodian as well due to the level of trust he inspires through his personal interactions with people. I would highly recommend him for any small home repairs.
