Called in the morning and spoke to the owner Al who answered the phone. I explained what I needed and at first he thought I may need two guys and a 40' ladder as the portion of siding that came loose is on the second level by the attic vent. He asked I send him photos via text which I did and he checked with one of his guys and I ended up only needing a 21' ladder and one guy so less cost out of my pocket! Al said it would probably be in the afternoon and he would call when they were on their way and I told him that was fine as I would be home all day doing yard work. Well I missed his call as I was outside and didn't hear the phone but his guy Mike L showed up anyways which was also great for me! I heard him at the front and he got right to work. Very personable and friendly. I asked him if he'd mind cleaning out the gutters since he was up there and the siding was only a 5 min job so may as well utilize my hour of pay and they didn't mind at all. Al also came by to check on his guy and was very friendly as well just as he as on the phone. Very happy to have found a handyman company who I feel comfortable with and that would do a good job. Thanks to Al and Mike L it can now rain and I wont worry about my siding just flopping around. I will definitely use you all in future for any other needs.

"Dear Member, I'm sorry that you are not satisfied. We were called out to investigate a severely water-damage corner kitchen cabinet. We removed the cabinet and discovered that the toilet wax ring in the bathroom above had failed, leaving a toxic mix of sewage and black mold on the cabinet top and all surrounding drywall. To remove the cabinet, all the crown molding had to be taken down as well as an adjoining cabinet. The drywall on the walls and ceiling had to be replaced after it dried out. We matched the oak finish on the over 20-year-old cabinet as best we could. Unfortunately, with the varying density and wood grains in oak, the exact color in the finished product does sometime vary from the finish samples manufactures provide, even within the same cabinet order. Considering that the cabinet doors are full overlay doors, less than a 1/2" of wood shows and the color actually was not far off from the color variations on other cabinets. The total cost of the job actually came to $821, which included all labor, materials, and multiple trips to the job site. We always strive to do jobs properly and within what customers budget. Sincerely, Al Starck, President"

I had a company come in and clean my dryer vent in February of 2015. When I began having problems with my clothes drying, I thought it was an issue with the dryer. I eventually found that the problem was not with the dryer but because the duct was actually disconnected. To make matters worse, my dryer is on the first floor and i have a finished basement. There was only a very narrow access to the duct in the utility room. I had been told that a great sized area of dry wall would have to be cut out to reach the duct. I contacted Mr. Handyman and they sent someone out the same day. Please note this was New Year's Eve!!! Michael was excellent. I don't know how he did it but he was able to reconnect the duct without damaging the drywall. He also found that the brush and wand had broken off of the equipment the company that did the initial duct cleaning was using and was stuck in the duct. I am still questioning how that company supposedly did not notice they were missing a brush and approximately 3 feet of wand off of their equipment!!! Even when the duct was reconnected, the air was not flowing to the outside vent. There was a massive lint build up from the brush clogging the duct. Michael cleaned this out also. The amount of lint he pulled out made me question if the initial company had even provided the services I was charged for. Given the responsiveness, customer service and cost savings (I would have paid a lot more to repair drywall) I will definitely use Mr. Handyman again.
Response from Mr. Handyman of the Fredericksburg Region
"This was one of those jobs that went exceptionally well. Our first take on it was that we were going to need to disturb a lot of finish trim work and drywall to get to the vent pipe. But with additional investigation my tech determined that he could reconnect the vent and remove the cleaning brush from outside without any interior work. I'm glad this one turned out so well! Thanks for taking the time to post your satisfaction! Al Starck"

Project was in a rental property in Stafford, VA. Al and Lisa were very responsive in scheduling the technicians going to the property. They were also very respectful of the Tenants time and when project went from a repair to a replacement project they came back at the time they said they would to finish the project with the newly acquired material.
The tenants who met the technicians said they were very professional and respectful. That is a trait very hard to find in handymen and contractors now a days.
I plan to use them again when the need arises.

"Thank you for writing the review. The technician ran into some unexpected structural conditions with framing the opening when installing the ladder, which would have been better dealt with had he thought to call the office for assistance from another tech. That being the case, I thought it fair to issue a refund for some of the time wasted with the inefficiencies of going it alone. Al Starck, President"

They did a fantastic job. Al (owner) was very professional and courteous. All the techs (electrical, carpentry, plimber,etc) were very skilled and went above and beyond what was asked for in the estimate. If there was an issue they were able to handle it as experienced techs. The price was lower than I would have expected and they were very efficient! I have only positive things to say about this company!

"Thank you for the kind review. I know the work expanded as we got into the project, and subsequently the costs were higher. I'm happy that you understood the situation and that you are so pleased with the outcome. Best regards, Al Starck"

Very nice gentleman, very professional, did the work, but when I got the bill I was a little weary. I'm from New Jersey, and the handy people I had didn't charge me that much, even for painting huge rooms and they were licenced contractors. I just felt that was a little expensive, for two small bathroom fixtures, didn't even have to do the ceiling, just on the wall. Just putting in new fixtures over the same outlets. If the price wasn't that way, I could afford to use them the next day to finish the other things I need to have done.
Response from Mr. Handyman of the Fredericksburg Region
"I'm very sorry that you were not satisfied with the final cost. But often times larger rooms can be painted as quickly or quicker than bathrooms. Bathrooms typically have a lot of fixtures, mirrors, and the like to cut in around. The technician's notes indicate that both rooms first had drywall repairs to be made and then primed, both bathrooms were completed with two coats of paint, and then there were the light fixtures to install. He was only one hour over the 5 to 6 hour quote given when the job was scheduled. Nevertheless, I am disappointed that you weren't satisfied with the cost. I prefer to have jobs come in under the verbal estimate whenever possible. I hope that you'll give us another chance to service your home and hopefully "wow" you with both the workmanship AND the cost. Sincerely, Al Starck, President"

Michael installed a dryer vent in my laundry room which required cutting through cinder block and then patched a hole from a botched dryer vent install from the previous owner. He did a very good job patching the wall and also patched an area in my ceiling that had some water damage. He also gave suggestions on the proper paint to apply to the ceiling patch and how to prevent further water damage.
Response from Mr. Handyman of the Fredericksburg Region
"Thank you for taking the time to provide your review. I'm sorry that the technician arrive late. We do pride ourselves on being on time, or if late, having the office give courtesy calls to update you on our expected arrival. Apparently we may have failed to update you on the arrival time and for that I am sorry. But thanks for all the other "A" grades. Best regards, Al Starck"

It went very well. We initially had three estimates and they were the highest of the three. We went with them because of their high rating on Angie's list. We are glad that we did. The quality of their work was quite impressive. We were quoted with an estimate of five hours.. The work took well longer than expected due to unforeseen issues but we were only charged for one extra hour even though more time was put into the project. We are quite pleased with the quality and workmanship. The provider took the time to clean up the area and made sure that everything looked good. We would definitely use them again in the future.
