The worker was professional and curtious. When additional damage was discovered, he communicated clearly up front before proceeding with repair (which raised the cost).

Came on time, clean, had to use innovation to think of best way to repair a tile on a hot-tube side that was difficult. My expectations were not high because the job was so difficult. They tackled it and did it fabulously - cannot even tell there was a repair in the tile. I'd use them for every repair

This was a tricky job involving a leak at the motor on a Jacuzzi tub. There was no access panel so we cut one into the tiled wall, made the repair, and created an easy-to-remove panel in case the motor needs to be accessed again. I'm happy the you are pleased with the results! Best regards, Al Starck

My husband and I are very pleased with our experience with Mr. Handyman. Our technician Chris was very professional and knowledgeable about all aspects of our bathroom remodel. Even though there were unforseen issues with the plumbing hidden behind our wall, Chris brought the issue to our attention and explained what needed to be done to properly fix it. He was very forthcoming about the issue which would have turned in to a much bigger problem in the future if it were not addressed now and ultimately ended up saving us a lot of money in the long run. He also helped us make the final design choices and we absolutely love his choices. With so many finishes to choose from the whole project quickly began to seem very overwhelming but Chris was able to give us exactly what we were looking for. We love our new bathroom and will definitely use Mr. Handyman again for any future remodeling.

It went very well. George came by and looked at what we wanted him to do. The next week I got an estimate, and then, after okaying it, the work was underway. George was a very nice, professional man, who knew what he was doing. Before long, in just a few days, all work was completed, much to our satisfaction. Kate, who works in the office was very, very pleasant and was always there for communication. The boss, Al, was also available to answer any followup questions. These are people who represent MR. HANDYMAN extremely well. Too bad all businesses are not like this one. They are A plus, in my book.

Description of Work: I am readying my circa 1938 home for sale and contacted Mr. Handyman to repair and paint all of the original windows. Within 48 hours of my online request, owner Al Starck was at my home looking at the job. He explained what the job would entail, and then promptly referred me to FOUR other highly qualified tradesmen whom he knew could perform the work in a more timely manner than Mr. Handyman! (We want to be on the market in less than a month.) !

This work was completed over two years ago but between my recollections and the job notes the technician recorded on the invoice, I was able to remember there being several issues with having room to install multiple shut off valves and sprayer attachments, and the connections not being straight-forward. There were difficulties with the installation and having to go out for additional parts. When we run into these kinds of complications we try to mitigate the additional costs and inconveniences by reducing our charges in a reasonable and fair manner. I am pleased that the member gave us credit for this and at least gave us a B overall rating. Sincerely, Al Starck, President

We had a leak under our kitchen sink and decided to simply replace the entire faucet. I purchased the faucet from Home Depot and needed someone to remove the old one and install the new one. In addition, we had a leak in the shower head that wouldn't stop. Larry did a great job in taking care of both problems. He took a look at both projects and told me right away what needed to be replaced for the shower leak. Unfortunately he said he did not have the part he needed on the truck for the shower. I offered and went to Home Depot to get the part he needed while he worked on replacing the kitchen faucet. He was estimated to be at my home for 2 - 3 hours, but completed both jobs in 1 hour flat. Mr. Handyman has set prices which is good, but they are a little pricey. Nonetheless, you do get a well qualified repairman and the job is done correctly and professionally. I would certainly recommend Larry for any plumbing problems we may have.

I have used Mr. Handyman of Fredericksburg three times and was happy with their work each time. I heard about Mr. Handyman from my neighbor who was having Mr. Handyman replace their front porch posts and railings with vinlyl posts and railings. | |The first job with Mr Handyman was to replace my front porch posts and railings with vinyl posts and railings. Mr. Handyman did put holes in one of our new posts in the wrong location but after discussing the issue with Mr. Handyman's owner, Al, the post was replaced at no cost to me. I have had the new vinyl posts and railings for years and love them. I love them because they are maintenance free and easy to clean. | |Mr. Handyman also ran electric to my screened in porch. I helped to reduce my cost on this project by assisting Mr. Handyman with the project which was fine with Mr. Handyman. The work was very well done. | |Our last project was replacing the old wood trim around our doors and garage doors with aluminum trim. Mr. Handyman bent each piece at our house and did an excellent job. I love it because it is now maintenace free and I don't need to paint or replace the trim anymore.

The handyman, Michael, showed up promptly, and did all the work meticulously and very well. He allowed us to pick his brain and gave us some very clear explanations about some irrigation and drainage projects we have in mind - even though Mr Handyman does not do these things. Michael was very professional and very easy to talk to too. I would confidently use Mr Handyman again.

The Handyman representative came out as scheduled and provided a tentative estimate of the cost of the work requested. He was professional in appearance and appeared to be knowledgeable about the work we wanted done. He explained that since we needed work done in three different areas, tile, drywall, and plumbing, a specialist in each area would be doing the work. When we received the written estimate for the work requested, it came to over $90 an hour for each repair, and since one individual would not be working on all three, there was a good deal of "down" time involved while materials involved in the tile repair and drywall repair dried. Logically, if one person were performing all the repairs we requested, while the cement was drying on the tile repair, the drywall work could be done, and while the drywall plaster was drying, the plumbing could be done. Unfortunately, this is not how The Handyman priced out the work. Based on a recommendation from a neighbor, we subsequently hired a true handyman who does a lot of work in our neighborhood and he did all the repairs himself, and at about half the cost the The Handyman proposed.
Description of Work: Requested estimate to replace one chipped ceramic tile in kitchen, repair drywall tape and paint ceiling of kitchen, and repair leaking faucet in bathroom.

Response from Mr. Handyman of the Fredericksburg Region
The member is correct to note that many of the separate jobs overlapped and could have been done together in less time than was estimated. My technician that met with the member to collect information for the estimates, informed me that the member wanted the jobs separated out and estimated individually, in case they wanted us to do only some of the work. I should have explained that combined, the work would not take as long as the sum of the separate estimates totaled. I will correct that going forward. Sincerely, Al Starck, President

Outstanding customer service representative (Kevin) carefully walked me through all the details and process to accomplish the work I needed. Being across the country, I had to rely on only verbal communication only. He told me what could and could not be done, and the best means to accomplish the task and the right tradesmen to do the work, with recommendations for materials too. The personal level of attention and follow up was fantastic and the cost estimate was right on target. The tenant confirmed the high quality of work and is very pleased. One of the best customer service experiences I've ever had.

All I wanted is a door installed in my garage. I have the door, just needed them to install it. On Monday night when they called back, they said its $92 dollars an hour and a minimum 3 hours. So I decided not to go with them. They might be good, I'll never know.
