Back in May/June 2025, I hired Handy Gentlemen for interior work on my house. It is now…read moremid-September. David, the owner, seems like a nice guy, and he did a good job replacing the tiles on my bathroom floor, and he (mostly his assistant) did a lot of painting, which on the whole looks good. But see below... The big issues were what I discovered after he was finished and had left: fresh paint stains in multiple areas, including the wood floor of my 19th century house and even furniture - which I cleaned up. Splattered paint near the ceiling of my kitchen which still, three months later, has not been patched, paint stains on my oriental rug, a major purchase 40 years ago, etc. David said he would pay for the rug damage, and I only asked for 50% of the very reasonable $175 cleaning cost. David told me to bill him via Zelle, something I said I'm not sure how to do. He already has my Zelle information, since that's how I paid him for the work. But after messaging him and emailing several times, he has not responded. And I still have paint streaks on the wall and an unpaid bill. So I can't recommend Handy Gentlemen. I think part of the problem is that David is under-manned and a bit overwhelmed, but not responding to my messages is unprofessional.

Very happy with David and his crews' work installing LVP in my small, old house with squeaky…read morefloors. Originally I had planned to go through Home Depot for purchasing & installation but was having a bad experience and decided to cancel the HD installers and hire locally and I am so glad I did! David took the time and care to prepare my subfloors with new plywood and secure it to reduce a lot of those squeaks. He advised on what would look nice for new baseboards and the final floors look beautiful, a major improvement over the old carpet! Will likely hire David the Handy Gentleman for future projects.

From helping with the layout and meeting an aggressive timeline as I didn't want to live their while work was ongoing it was a great experience and I love my house.

Also I had a few quotes and he is affordable while also being fast and a perfectionist

Omar was referred to me from a couple of friends who had him and his crew do some remodeling in…read moretheir own homes and were beyond satisfied with the work completed. When I reached out to Omar to come out for a quote I had several things on my "wish list" including: 1. Complete bathroom remodel 2. Replacing all the can lighting in the kitchen, living room, office and bedroom 3. Painting the entire condo 4. Installing all new dimmer light switches 5. Installing a new smart thermostat 6. Installing all new HVAC vent covers 7. Reinforcing loose kitchen cabinets 8. Changing the kitchen amp from 15 to 20amp Omar was quick to show me pictures of other similar work he had done and offered his expert opinion during our walk thorough. He was also very detailed in the quote he quickly sent over after the visit. I couldn't be happier that I got to work with Omar for my condo renovations and have only positive feedback to share. A couple key highlights I wanted to make sure I shared from my AMAZING experience: - Affordable - Flexible- started earlier than the date anticipated and completed ALL the work in under two weeks - Respectful to my neighbors with working hours and acknowledged that some people work from home and worked to minimize the noise - Communication- him and his crew kept me in the loop every step of the way - Accommodating/Easy to work with- for the materials I ordered the larger items (bathroom mirror, vanity, shower door, medicine cabinet, tile, etc.) but Omar was great with getting the materials that he knew the specific quantities he would need (paint, grout, spacers, etc.) which I found very helpful. He also built the shower base out of concrete and had me return the plastic base I purchased to ensure better/long-term quality - CLEAN- him and his crew left the place very clean once all the demo was done and I returned home I will absolutely recommend Omar to my family and friends and I am excited to work with him on any future projects I have (photos attached). Thanks Omar and team, you guys are the best!!

Pretty sure this is the company that did maintenance for my apartment building awhile back. Our…read moretoilet seat was always coming loose so they would send one man (can't remember his name) who would come look at it, decide it needs to be replaced, go get the new seat, and come back to quickly switch it out. The last time he came for this issue he was upset that the seat was broken again and kept asking me why I broke it as if it was my fault. I was like wtf dude I don't know!?? He raised his voice and cursed at me. I told him he cannot speak to me like that. He ignored me. I told him to leave several times and he refused. He stole our toilet seat and finally left. I should have called the police but I called my property manager and she worked out with Omar that they would send a different guy to give us a new toilet seat. Me and my roommate (both women) were left without a toilet seat for hours. To make matters worse, Omar asked my property manager for my phone number so he could call and "apologize" directly. He gaslighted me about the fact that the dude intentionally stole our toilet seat and basically defended the guy's character after he had just intimidated and stolen from me in my own home. We actually argued back and forth for a bit, it was completely disrespectful.

Tony does fine work. I think the problem is he takes multiple jobs (simultaneously) and he's always…read morein such a hurry to finish your job that he leaves minor imperfections here-and-there. He works 4 hours maximum (with an hour lunch in-between). Always has a phony excuse for arriving late and/or leaving early. I've read some of these bad reviews and couldn't agree more. I had him redo a lot of little things, but that's it, Minor, no big deal--for the price I paid. He remodeled 2 bedrooms and a bathroom in my basement for merely $6k TOTAL (Parts and Labor). That's a steal! Other contractors quoted me at $15-20k. One guy told me $12K for the bathroom alone! The pics I've seen from angry customers are pretty much the same things he did at my house. On a scale of 1-10 I think he scores a solid 7. Sure everyone wants a 10, but hey, I look at the bright side, I saved $10 THOUSAND dollars hiring Antonio. And I can live with those minor imperfections if it saved me all that money.

They don't know how to cut tile let alone lay them straight! Antonio and his brother are a bunch of thieves! Besides that they are not licensed plumber. I had water coming out of my walls and basement celling. Don't trust them! They are the cheapest cause that's the quality of work they are going to do! Proof is in the pictures! They were paid in full! Never fixed the problem just left it like that and said it was my problem now!

Communication was slow, and I had to follow up multiple times to receive basic information and pricing. During one phone call, he did not recall who I was or the details of my inquiry, which made the process feel disorganized. I was initially quoted $150 for a site visit. After the visit, I was informed there would be an additional $200 charge for an itemized estimate. When the estimate was provided, it was not itemized as discussed and did not offer the level of detail I anticipated for the additional fee. I understand that professional services require time and expertise; however, the communication and deliverables did not align with the costs involved. Based on my experience, I would encourage future customers to ask detailed questions upfront and ensure expectations are clearly outlined before proceeding.
