Mr. Lee was contracted to replace a portion of siding on my home that was damaged from a hailstorm. Finally, when we negotiated the price to do the work and he showed up at my home to do the vinyl siding installation he informed me that he did not quote the job correctly. He did not see all of the damage even though he was shown specifically the area that was damaged. I agreed to the new price this is where it went from bad to worse. First, he purchased the wrong color siding without asking me before he purchased it and chose to inform me on installation day. The correct color was white and he bought off white. His answer to my question of why did you not purchase white was, I could not find white anywhere this was all they had. After leaving for work and expecting the work to be completed that afternoon I received a phone call from my father who was overseeing the work, informed me that the additional siding he purchased to complete, the other half of the damaged area was again the wrong color. He did not purchase the off-white color that he put on one-half of the house but a mustard yellow color. Now that portion of my house is half off white and half yellow. After talking to Mr. Lee on the phone to find out why he would do that, he again told me the company where he purchases his siding from did not have any more of the off white he purchased previously and this was all he could find. To top off his audacity, he told me he would paint it to fix the problem and wanted to charge me $150.00 for the pleasure. Needless to say, I was NOT going to pay him to fix a problem he made and a substandard fix at that. In addition, the siding was supposed to reach flat to the roofline and he cut the siding jagged and too short. There are 3-inch gaps all along the edge of the roofline where the siding ends. I told him he WILL not be paid until he fixes this problem. He told me he would rip all of the siding down from my house if I did not pay him his money. I called the police on him and they met with both of us and told him to leave my property. The ending of this nightmare came when he wasted my time and took me to court to sue me for $900.00 because in his eyes he put up siding and thought that he executed the contract. Well the judge saw differently and ruled in my favor because of the poor workmanship he saw in the pictures and dismissed the case. A picture is worth a 1000 words. Now that this nightmare is behind me and I am looking for a new company to do the work.

Mr Lee did a great job. The work was done in an efficient manner. The work area as well as the surrounding areas were cleaned up the the end of the job. Mr. Lee arrives on time and his work is very professional.

The provider initially had a fair quote on replacing 89 pieced of bad siding on the house as well as painting it.  He did an excellent job on replacing the siding.  I wanted to do the painting but he had insisted on doing the painting as part of the job.  Well, he only put one coat of paint on wood that had not been previously painted when it really required three coats to look right.  We argued over this fact and he wanted more money to do two more coats while I insisted that the contract was for him to paint until it looked like a quality job.  He refused to back off and I had to eventually put two more coats of paint on.
My biggest complaint with him was that he wanted to do a change order over every little detail that came up that was different than the contract and he wanted  a huge overcharge for any and all changes.  For example, the sink that he bought and put in did not match up the the existing sink hardware and he wanted more money to finish the job.  The bathroom fan was smaller than his replacement model and a replacement model would not fit.  I ended up deciding to just put a light in and he wanted extra money to place sheet rock mud around the light fixture and for me to pay for the light.  He ended up keeping the fan that I purchased without giving me a refund.  I made the mistake of paying him before he finished and he never came back to smooth out the mud around the light.
My overall experience with him turned out to be negative and I would definitely not ever use him again.

Handyman Today was good. He's been out here several times to do random things, like painting the inside of our house and moving a washer and dryer from upstairs to our downstairs garage. They did a really good job on all the jobs we had them out there for. We've had good experiences with them. They have the best pricing.

They were very expensive. I compared with other companies and their price was outrageous. They were courteous with the woman, so that's why I go through Angie's List. The only issue I had was the price.

I found Mike to be extremely professional and competent. He showed up exactly when he said he would and thoroughly explained the work he would undertake, what each component of the job would cost and how long it would take and why he proposed to do the job in such a way. The job was completed promptly and immaculately and he went above and beyond in the workmanship when replacing my deck stairs. I was very pleased and impressed with the work.

The most impressive part of this work was the ability to closely match the existing "sponged" pattern of plaster on the ceiling. I was convinced that a contractor of moderate skill could repair the water-damaged sheet rock, but I had my doubts that the random plaster pattern could ever be made to blend in. Other contractors stated they could "do their best", but Handyman Today seemed to have some experience in this matter. The results were beyond my expectation. Without a close look, you cannot tell a repair ever occurred.

The projects went very well. There were numerous setbacks due to weather, but he remained focused and kept me at the top of his list and maintained contact as we worked through some of the weather and situational issues. He first put the column up in the living room along with the trim. It truly updates the room from a 70's look to a much more contemporary look. He painted the hallway and family room, disguising old outdated paneling with fresh paint. No drips, no messes on the floors. The painting was done very well and quickly. He constructed the cabinets, which are beautiful. There are four cabinets on either side of the fireplace with a counter top. The counter top is just wood, but he used a specail counter top transformation kit, so it actually looks like granite. It's beautiful! The cabinets are functional and gorgeous! He relocated two electrical outlets above where the cabinets were built. This is tremendous because it allows access to them, whereas they would have been covered by the cabinets. Everything turned out so well! The prices he quoted were fair and when it appeared we were going to exceed our budget, due to unforeseen issues, he alerted me immediately so a decision could be made. He was thorough and kept me updated as to every step of the project. I received a verbal report everyday. While he focused on the project as a whole, he also really paid close attention to the details on the cabinets and the column. He honed in on those aspects, that often get overlooked. He is not just a handyman, but a true craftsman! I would hire him again and would definitely recommend him.

I chose Mike from the referrals presented based primarily on his attested previous experience with sliding doors, in particular repair versus replacement.

Mike Lee's price was right; his recommended design for the "make over" of my back porch worked out beautifully; he was on time; he did a great job on everything; and he cleaned up afterwards.

Mr. Lee was amazing. He provided a same day free estimate, performed quality work on time, and the price was exactly what he quoted initially. He was very responsive to any questions and made sure I was pleased with each stage of completion. I am very pleased with the results and highly recommend him. He exceeded my expectations on all levels. I will definitely be using him in the future for some inside projects as well as some more outside work.

Mike provided written estimate and scheduled date well in advance. He worked quickly and finished the job within 2 weeks (including several rain days). He invited input from us during the project. We felt comfortable leaving him to work while we were away from the house. He was respectful of the time on the weekends and let us sleep in a few hours. The paint job looks great--well worth the money.
