I didn't even want to give him one star. Second day on the job he says it will now be $4000.00 over the signed contract. The plumbing was beyond his skill . A one week job took him 2 weeks, then it took me another month to hire people to come in and fix what John did and didn't do. shower still leaks in two places, went and got a estimate...was over $4000.00. Of course after paying John and then every other contractor to fix his mistakes I didn't have any money left. So for now we just put rolled up towels in the 2 areas that leak. We did report him to BBB so he now has a nice big black check against him. Menards will no longer let him post his flyers. So our contract of $8000.00 went to $12.000,00. Then it cost me another few thousands to get most of the mistakes fixed. Run run and fast as you can if you see this man. read more

Review of John Russel / "All Done Handyman" I want to warn anyone considering hiring John Russel. My experience with him was a complete nightmare, and I believe he is a fraud. I first reached out to John for a quote on redoing my deck (flooring, railings, and stairs). At the time, it was hard to even find someone willing to quote, so when a friend referred him, I gave him a call. He showed up within ten minutes, looked at my old deck, and promised me a quote. He also sent me photos of other deck jobs he claimed to have done, which made him seem legitimate. My wife and I even visited his home, met his wife and dogs, and discussed a plan. The arrangement was that I would pay for the material, and he would handle the labor. A few days later, he called saying he had a vendor in Michigan with composite decking. He sent photos, and while my wife and I had already chosen a color elsewhere, he pushed for us to buy through his contact. He convinced us to buy far more material than needed, saying the extra could be used as skirting. I trusted him, wrote him a check for the material and labor deposit, and kept asking him for a written contract to confirm the labor price, which he did provide much later. He told me the job would take four days. When work started, he showed up with only one helper instead of the "crew" he promised. Demolition alone took 2.5 days. Then he disappeared for several days before coming back. His work process was erratic--jumping from one section of the deck to another, leaving things unfinished. When I questioned him, he laughed and said he had ADHD. That was the first red flag. The railings were a disaster. He hacked the posts and cut the caps crooked with a Sawzall, leaving them looking terrible. I told him they needed to be redone. He ended up having to buy replacement pieces he said he didn't have the right size saw blade? . He also failed to install bottom supports correctly because he didn't leave enough clearance. When I asked him too install them he put them in crooked and again hacked the materials By week six, with the project nowhere near done (maybe 60% complete), he asked me for more money. Despite already being about 85% paid, he pressured me for another $3,000, claiming he had car problems. I told him I didn't care about his personal issues, I just wanted the job finished. I paid him anyway, hoping it would push him to complete the work. Instead, that was the last time I ever saw or had any communication with him. He stopped answering calls and texts. Eventually, he sent two other men to throw on some skirting, but the stairs and several key pieces of the deck were never finished. His workmanship was sloppy, unprofessional, and dishonest. I had to finish the project myself and fix many of his mistakes. I am now pursuing a small claims case against him and filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. "All Done Handyman" is nothing but a joke. Save yourself the stress and money--stay far away from John Russel. read more

We are a Church in Chicago with another branch in Channahon, IL. We contracted John to construct a wall in a bathroom at Channahon Church. This was professionally done. Secondly, John remodeled our church kitchen in Chicago within two weeks, he did an excellent job including plumbing work that was not part of our agreement. In addition, John repaired our broken stair rails and did other jobs that were also not part of our contract agreement for free. John is trustworthy. And his charges are very reasonable. He is our go-to handyman/contractor. Pastor Emmanuel read more

Great person offering great services. I'm extremely pleased. Thank you for All you have Done...........composite decking replacement

John's amazing customer service and performance. I recently had moved into an apartment with well water that smelled like sulfur. To help myself financially I told the landlord I would try my best to upgrade his plumbing system to the best of my ability and knowledge, because I work as a plumbing apprentice I thought I had enough knowledge to install a water filtration system. I soon found out I was not as knowledgeable as I thought. I tried having my supervisor from work help me install it but he explained that I'd have to go through the company due to it being an upstairs unit and sharing the water main with other tenants and therefore charging me a bit too much than I expected and that's when I found John. I found All Done Handyman through a local friend who used John in the past. I called John to install a customer supplied 2- stage water filtration system and he not only helped me out with pricing but also taught me how to install the system myself, which was more than he was called out to do. He taught me different methods of soldering and then explained the difference between soldering and pro-pressing. I want to thank John for helping me out and going above and beyond with the service he provided. Thank you John. read more

Guy is really cool and does great work have used him a few times now will definitely use him again when needed.

JOHN RUSSELL AND ALL DONE TOOK MY MONEY. NO STARS. John Russell, of New Lennox, took advantage of my sister and I when he was hired to repair the condo where my sister was living. Years ago, I bought a place for my sister to live after a difficult divorce. Eventually she stabilized herself, she got ready to move on her own and I decided to sell the condo. I live in Texas and over the phone and email I hired his company to renovate the place. Because of circumstances, I paid for the material needed long distance with my credit card agreeing with him to return the paid amount of the supplies to me. He not only did not return my money but, initially, bought extra material and later return them to the store getting cash back. He cheated me of my money and was cheap enough to return stuff for more. Initially when I met him over the phone, he was kind and understanding of our situation, expressing how nice for my sister to have a brother like me. He stated about his son being a new union member-electrician (I believe) and his wife being adopted by a nice Italian (like myself) lady when she was young. All nice words. Then, as the job was getting finished, he stopped answering my calls, texts and emails. Please do not do business with All Done Handyman Services or All Done Construction of New Lennox. He took advantage of my sister and I. read more
