Handyman In Action

prompt response to request, friendly, used time well, and cleaned up!

Handyman in Action is very professional and experienced. The carpenters were on time and did a great job repairing my fire door. My door now locks with ease. They give good advice too.

They did an excellent job.

The guy (John Doyle) was cheap, he removed the drywall no problem. But when it came to putting up the moulding and putting on the orange peel and paintitng, he was hopeless. He didn't mask the area off with tape, and the orange peel looked awful, his painting and cutting was very amatureish. It looked dreadful, I told him I would do it instead, so I cut off some money off the final bill and told him to leave. I had to spend two evenings doing the work myself. It looks good now. The guy just wanted to get it done as fast as possible so he bould get out of there.
Comment from Handyman In Action
The customer was advised by our craftsman that the entire area should be done to ensure a proper match. The customer elected to have John just do the opened up closet area that he drywalled along with using the orange peel spray cans provided by the customer. Then when not satisfied with the results of the job the customer elected to do the work himself. We offered to do the work correctly in the first place at a fare price but sometimes inexperienced people just don't trust the professionals. We offer full satisfaction guarantee on all our labor we will use materials provided by the customer but do not guarantee the quality or results.

Very good experience.

The handyman that came was great. He fixed my sliding door quickly and it works great. I don't recall being told that the minimum charge for work is $75. That seemed steep for 20 minutes of work.

Finished the job ahead of schedule. Nice work. Very professional.

Although the contractor is in fact a door expert, the communication skills were lacking. When someone says they will arrive for work at a certain time, I expect punctuality or a phone call. When neither is received, that creates mistrust and dissatisfaction. The project completed GREAT; however, they really need to work on significantly improving their communication skills when problems are experienced with vendors responding to special order needs to properly complete a job.

professional, reliable and reasonable. completed the job well. excellent service

The handyman was very helpful and was able to do everything I needed. The cost was less than a plumber.
