I hired FoxFix to repair some seams in the drywall in our condo. I liked Yevhenii (and his wife) very much when he came out and I felt like they'd do a great job. Indeed, they worked diligently and cleaned up each time they visited. The first round of work, both of them came; the second and third times, just Onya came to and she was super friendly and worked quietly while I worked in the office. I didn't paint the repairs immediately because of a lack of time, but once I did, I was disappointed with how the work turned out. I contacted Yevhenii again and sent him pictures. Communication was great and he came out to look and offered to either refund the money paid and for someone else to do the work or he (and his wife) would try again. I allowed them to come back and Onya worked for hours to redo most of the work. Again, carefully, quietly, and working with my schedule. Yevhenii came to check on things and also wanted to do some of the painting to see how the repairs looked. One area in one of the bathrooms looks pretty good but the kitchen and the other bathroom looks terrible, as evidenced by the pictures. I recontacted Yevhenii and he offered a $200 refund which I accepted. There was the original price of the job and, in consideration of the friendliness that the couple offered and the six visits they made, I felt was worth a $100 tip. In the end, I had drywall dust to clean up throughout the condo on multiple days and the results look amateurish. I'm still not sure why this is so hard to do and do reasonably well. I'm not looking for taj mahal-lile work but the pictures, I think, speak for themselves. I'm sure Yevhenii does great work, as evidenced by other positive reviews and pictures, but this project was a fail. read more

We had a half wall added to a loft area at the top of the stairs. Yevhenii did excellent work. We even threw him a challenge to create some custom moulding on the cap to match the other two half walls in the same hallway, and you can't tell the difference. Jobs like this are harder than one would think mostly because matching drywall seams is really hard. That's why I didn't do this myself. It takes patience and attention to detail. Where the wall had a straight transition to the existing wall, Yevhenii matched the seam patch perfectly, and you can't tell it wasn't originally part of the house. Yevhenii even showed me what to look for if I found that the drywall patches needed more work (flashlight at an oblique angle). He knew that this kind of thing takes effort, and to get a Level 5 drywall finish is asking A LOT (I didn't expect it either because I knew this too.) I like painting, so I asked Yevhenii to leave that part to me. Often, when you paint, you can see the flaws in a project. Even though the top cap of the wall was two pieces glued up and the wall had to make that existing wall transition, the lines were smooth and clean, and you couldn't tell. His workmanship is measured and precise, he cleans up each day, and he's a nice person to talk to as well. You could do a lot worse than to hire Fox-Fix. Yevhenii is the kind of local guy you want to have in your pocket for whatever you need. read more

Yevhenii is a superstar. Had a number of odd jobs around the house - shutters that needed to be re-attached, weather stripping that needed replaced, curtain rods to put up, and a hanging kitchen light that had to move. He came by to do an assessment, gave me a good best guess on how long it'd take, and set up a time to come back. I checked in with my wife to see how he was doing since I was at work, and she was very impressed by how much attention he was paying to little details and how diligent he was at getting things done quickly, but making sure they were done right. He's also a great guy with a great, friendly manner. Struggles a little with some more complicated or oddball English words and phrases, but his English was still very good and we had no trouble talking to each other. Great service, and he's our new go-to handyman. read more

I needed an old, torn screen mesh replaced in a sliding door. I had left a message for Fox Fix and he responded almost immediately. He was able to come the following Saturday to the project. He arrived with the materials, had the slider taken off the track, and was replacing the screen mesh within minutes. After he finished but before he placed the slider back into the track he asked if I was happy with the job. Fox Fix responded quickly, worked quickly, and did a super job on my project. Thanks. read more

If I could give 0 I would. Hired through thumbtack and paid 75 per hour for services. A list of tasks was provided prior to job and I was quoted 3 to 4 hours. He was here for more than 8 hours, did not have all needed supplies and did not complete all tasks, causing me to pay for another person to come out another day. In his defense, he did only charge me for the 4 hours he originally quoted. He installed a bathroom faucet and it now does not have hot water, I requested that he come back and fix it and he refused based on the fact that I gave him a less than 5 star review on thumbtack. Makes me question if bullied other people into increasing his reviews to go back and repair what he didn't fix correctly. I definitely would not hire and I now understand why he does not show up on Google. For 75 an hour I do expect to have hot water and if not, would expect enough professionalism to come back and repair instead of sending nasty messages that he didn't get a 5 star review. Do not recommend. In response, I wasn't going to pay you 75 an hour to run for supplies you should have on your truck. If the hoses weren't up to par from the other handyman you should have notified me. The water runs which you showed me, but I didn't check the temperature. It has not gotten hot since you installed. The house was listed and sold in the Interem so I was a bit busy to post on line, and I am fortunate to have two sinks and was able to use the other. I will pay for someone else to come fix it again as your lack of professionalism makes me not want you back in my home. read more
