If only we had learned about how great Mr. Handyman of Naperville is earlier, we would have been a…read morelot happier with repair and installation experiences. We recently had a different "fix it" company here for two days. We gave up on them in frustration. They made a lot of errors and were very slow. ***Then we switched to Mr. Handyman and everything turned around for the better.*** Kevin and Ray got more done in half a day than the two other workers accomplished in two days. And Keven and Ray did a much more professional, higher quality job. Our activities included electrical (over 40 switches and outlets replaced!), painting, basement ceiling track replacement, painting and installation of a basement handrail, sump pump work, exterior caulking, and duct replacement and sealing. Their hourly rate might be a little higher than some of their competitors, but their total cost, due to their expertise and work ethic, was far less. I have absolutely zero hesitation recommending this firm.

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.

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!

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.

I am sharing my experience with the construction team for this Servpro franchise to help others…read moremake informed decisions. This review reflects my personal interactions and concerns and is not directed at Servpro Corporate or other franchise locations. After a water-damage incident, this franchise handled both mitigation and the beginning of a rebuild of my only bathroom. Mitigation took about three weeks. Although it initially appeared satisfactory, I have since been informed by my insurance provider and other professionals that moisture may have been left in the crawlspace, which has contributed to buckling in my hardwood floors. The floors are now raised and uneven, and this has caused structural issues in our hallway--including doors that no longer open and close properly following mitigation and the new subfloor installation. For the rebuild, my insurance approved the estimate on October 1st, and the franchise accepted an 80% deposit on October 7th. In writing, I was told that work would begin within one week of payment and that the bathroom would be completed in approximately 4-5 days. I have emails and messages documenting this timeline. Because this is my only bathroom, this commitment was essential. Despite these assurances, the project did not start on schedule, and the delays that followed were significant. Work that appears to require a permit under my city's regulations was performed without one. When I first asked about the permit, I was told it wasn't needed; after confirming with the city that a permit was required, I repeatedly requested that the franchise submit the application. Although they stated several times--verbally and in writing--that they would file it, the city confirmed on every check-in that no permit application had ever been submitted. After I requested permit and insurance information, the team stopped returning to complete the work. This occurred around week 7 of us living in a hotel due to delays and halted work. At this point, I have been without a functioning bathroom for more than 10 weeks and was displaced from our home for a total of 8 weeks. The bathroom remains incomplete, with only a toilet installed. I also have photos and message threads showing that the toilet I ordered through them was replaced with a completely different model than the one we discussed. I also included emails documenting the timeline they provided, which we now know they did not meet. It is almost December, and we still do not have a completed bathroom. I raised these concerns with the project superintendent and then escalated them to his supervisor, who asked for additional time to resolve the situation and "make it right." More than three weeks passed with no action, and the permit issue remained unaddressed. They sent an email saying they would file the permit and copied us on it, but the city confirmed that no application was ever submitted during that time. Daniel Baier has repeatedly been difficult to work with during this frustrating process. He has repeatedly made false promises that he won't deliver. We filed a complaint to his boss George Foster- who pleaded with us to let them "make it right". That was over 3 weeks ago and again, no progress has been made. They still have not filed for a permit in my city after multiple request and email reminders. We have no bathroom in our home after 3 months of working with this Servpro. I have called the city every day to check the status of the permit, which I am told there is no permit pending. Dan continues to tell us that he will do it right away when I remind him. 3 weeks later and multiple emails in between about it, still nothing. Newest update: They eventually agreed to terminate our contract after repeated requests to do so, demands for reimbursement, demands to address the floor damage, and after we filed corporate-level complaints. We did not reach a resolution on our concerns. Our contract ended around week 10 of the project. After 10 weeks, we still do not have a fully functioning bathroom. Had we known they would fail to perform within the timeline they provided, we would have hired another contractor for the rebuild from the beginning. As of November 27th, still no refund on any of our deposit.

After I signed the contract, they sent out two young men with a new plan.   Now since I had paid, they had decided not to power wash and instead just to vacuum and sweep.   After the young completed they informed me that they were about to leave.   I picked up a piece of glass and showed it to them.   He said he'll call the office.   He called the office and then they changed the plan again and decided to power wash.   The young man informed us that he had never actually dealt with a situation like this. Upon completion there was still glass and dirt.   Here I am days later trying to do the job myself.   I now have cuts all over my hands and am spending hours trying to fix this myself. If they couldn't do the job they should have just told me.   They shouldn't have "guaranteed" that they could handle this.    Having failed miserably they should, in the least, give us a refund.     No supervisor was sent.   No one experienced to handle this situation was sent.   No one followed up to ensure the work was done correctly...and it wasn't. WE are disappointed and feel taken advantage of.   The party is Saturday and I'm still trying to fix the situation.
