I would definitely recommend Loyal Handyman!

I was given an email to send pictures to for a more accurate quote.

However, there is some confusion so I send back a question to clarify the quote. Once again, I receive a response a week later. I have long since made an appointment with another company but I just wanted to let others know that their response time is not the best. Their work might make up for it but I'll never know.

He was also able to get a stubborn smoke alarm to work properly! Andrew is our go-to person for all kinds of small jobs around the house. Great company, great crew!

Nick responded to my email inquiry within a day, came out to view the site, and provided a proposal upon my and the Church Council's request. It was an installation which required constructing side panels of the A/C unit which would be secure and weather-proof. While not a difficult project, the work ended up being intricate and time-consuming. Nick worked efficiently and was meticulous about making sure the unit fit securely. We were very pleased with the quality of the installation. He even saw our church exterior door hinges were slightly loose and fixed those as well. Nick Gosser is very professional, responsive to customer inquiries on a timely basis, and works quickly and efficiently. He is detail-minded, an experienced handyman, takes pride in his work and is reasonably priced. It wasn't easy to find someone to come out and do this project because it's small and I had to contact 6 different handyman services. (Some I never heard back and I do appreciate a couple who said they were too busy at the moment.) I highly recommend Nick's Handyman Service as he "checks all of the boxes" in terms of delivering quality results.

He knocked down the wall for me and moved the plumbing with copper as requested. He was very reasonable with the price and got the bathroom done within our deadline.

Jason Mitchell is a con man. He bragged about his ability and boasted about being bonded. He took…read moremy money and abandoned the job without completing it. He didn't level my floating floors before tiling (which was stipulated prior to signing the contract) and all of the tile work is unleveled and has buckling tile. The mortar is cracking and popping up. When I reached out to him for warranty repairs he told me to take it up with his attorney. I spent over $13k on a tile job for 4 rooms and I now need to have it all removed in order to have the floors properly leveled. He has no business being a contractor and I highly suggest you avoid him at all cost. My attorney has recommended that I look into a class action lawsuit against him. Edit: reply to Jason's response. Please do not believe the lies Jason has responded to my honest review of his tile failure in my home. 1st: The job was abandoned in June of 2019. 2nd: He refused to complete the job because I made the mistake of paying him the majority of the payments early after he presented a sob story about not being able to cover his pay roll. This was pre grouting before we noticed the tile was laid uneven. 3rd: I remained calm and cordial with him through the 2 months. I provided photos of the numerous areas that were unacceptable and unprofessional done. He always guaranteed he would correct the issues and never did. 4th: He refunded me $1000, not $2k after I threatened to take him to court for abandoning the job. I never signed any post agreement with him. He was supposed to create one for me to review and he never did. He must be confusing me with another victim of his. 5: I'm the one that pointed out the floating floor was not properly leveled and he tried to repair the sections after he had already laid uneven tile. His attempts made the floor more unstable. Before I signed the contract with him he guaranteed my floors would be leveled. 6: I had found a few bad reviews regarding His work prior to hiring him and he provided the same type of lies he used in response to my review here. 7: I was contacted by a former employee of his that told me my floor would start to fall apart after around a year because of Jason cuts corners. & that Jason has a history of scrubbing bad reviews with Angie's List and Yelp. 8.I turned down his initial bid as it was extremely high. I was going to hire Luna. Jason lowered his price in his bid in order to win the job. No terms were changed for the work to be completed and he guaranteed the work to be on par with Luna. After his poor craftsmanship became apparent he made a remark that he did level the floor because he lowered his price. Please note prior to the contract being signed we specifically discussed how the floor being leveled was to be included. (Not the basement floor, the main level were the tile us all falling apart now). He even made the remark "floor leveling us automatically included as it's part of properly tiling". 9. Protect yourself and find another contractor.

We had three different contractors come out to repair the leaks. All of them left us with outrageous bills, threats of litigation, and bathtubs that still leaked.

I decided to give him a chance because I had no other options. They were extremely responsive and were able to come out in a few days. They fixed both leaks and honored their warranties for minor things I noticed after they left. Their prices are very reasonable. Furthermore, they are actually licensed, which is rare for most services that you find on Yelp. Most contractors will present a license, but have unlicensed workers do the actual work to cut costs. They are also extremely trustworthy and I would have them work in my home with no one present. If you have any issues, I highly recommend you contact them. They will not disappoint. As to the negative reviews left by Ryenne and Amy, all I can say is that Things 2 Fix was one of the most responsive contractors I have come across.
