In hind site, the good reviews were probably from friends. He called us back to schedule a time to come out and give us an estimate. He stopped by without the proper personnel to give an estimate.

My house in Fishtown was in desperate need of some repairs, including a slow sink drain, a leak in…read moreour roof and some plaster repair work in our front room (which was HORRIBLE). Vince from Var came in and gave me an estimate and lickety-split they were making an appointment to fix my poor house's problems! Leaky roof is no longer leaking and my kitchen sink drains like a dream. They did a fantastic job on the plaster repair, which included putting up drywall and chairrailing and wainscoting (at least I think that is what it's called. . it's the square boxes made with thin wood pieces). Whatever it is called it looks awesome. The workers involved me in all decisions regarding the details so the final outcome would be exactly what I wanted. My only regret is that I decided to do the painting myself. For the time I spent on painting, I should have just had Var Construction do it for me (silly girl). They were prompt, NEAT, and very nice. I have a little one at home too and they did their best to keep the noise level down. FYI - I just got a flyer that they are now located at 3396 Miller Street (19125)

We couldn't be happier with the result. Gene and his team delivered exactly what we wanted. They are diligent workers and went out of their way to go above and beyond the scope of work.

I highly recommend to anyone looking for a fireplace, especially if you're looking for masonry work as well. Thanks Gene!

So 16 days later near the end of June I emailed them twice asking if they were so busy they didn't get to my estimate or did they forget about me?

The mahogany storm and screen door I ordered was built to a high standard and met specifications…read more However, communications with the owner around (a) delivery and (b) a defect in the glass storm insert left something to be desired. The delivery, which obviously required someone to be home, was two hours late with no notification from the company. The storm glass insert was not true to spec because the gap between it and the enclosing molding was not uniform. Why wasn't this checked at the shop beforehand? Unlike the delivery man, who made every effort to accommodate me, the owner was unapologetic about the lack of communication for the delay. More importantly, he would only consider fixing the problem if the door and the glass and screen inserts were returned to the shop, in which case it would be my responsibility to retrieve them. He wouldn't pay for a second delivery. He would rather cancel the deal and eat the cost of the goods. Having to pick up the door myself was a non-starter. I don't have a suitable vehicle, which is why I paid for delivery in the first place. The only other option he offered was to have the door and inserts returned to the shop and refund my money in full. Then I would have had to start my search over again and suffer a lead time of 6 to 8 weeks or more, so my front entry wouldn't be well prepared for the onset of cold weather. It fell to me to be the creative and save the deal by suggesting he give me a discount in return for which I would live with the defect. It seemed like he would rather have lost the sale than compromise. We came to terms, but the whole process was unnecessarily stressful.

My wife and I have been repeat customers of Handy Tec and have always been very happy with the work…read morethey have done. That's why we called again for our recent bathroom remodeling project. Overall, the job was done very well, and we appreciate the quality of the work. Unfortunately, there was one issue that has left us disappointed. During the remodel, some scuffs were made to our walls. When their last worker was here (Jason), we mentioned it and asked that he let the owner (Bill Canale). He told us someone would be stopping by. I also made sure the final balance was paid at that time. However, we never heard back from them. We left a voicemail and a text message, and I even spoke with Bill's wife, who assured us someone would come by soon. Despite those efforts, no one followed up. I had expected a walkthrough from Bill to review the project and address the scuffs, but instead we've felt ignored. This experience has been very discouraging, especially after our previous positive interactions with Handy Tec. At this point, it's fair to say that we would not use their services again or recommend them to others. I wanted to share this with everyone shopping for a Handyman company, not out of anger, but in the hope that they take it seriously. Good work deserves recognition, but so does accountability. Sincerely, Massimo & Shawn DeAngelis
