I found the principal, José, to be action oriented, intelligent, trustworthy and able to help with decisions concerning results and methods. I observed exceptional work in carpentry, plumbing and painting. I was very pleased. As I would say about any contract work, be sure you get the agreed-on details in writing, including cleanup.

Then he showed up with another guy, who contributed nothing at all to the conversation and should have just waited in the truck. He did give verbal estimates for the two jobs and promised to email written quotes...but never asked for my email address. Which was okay because I would not have hired him anyway, I didn't get the impression he really knew how to complete the job.

I was installing my new over the range microwave last week and realized I needed an extra set of…read morehands. I also couldn't figure out how my toggle bolts were getting stuck/not tightening which left me stuck halfway through the project on my own. My call was returned same day and I was able to quickly set an appointment. Sergio called me 15 minutes before my set time and made me feel like one of my buddies just happened to be in the neighborhood. We quickly figured out that my bolts were too long and were bending as I pushed them against the foundation. With an expert on-site and having the extra set of hands we had the new unit installed in under 30 mins. Friendly and prompt service from a professional contractor.

I was looking for a handyman in the Evanston area to improve a few things in my condo that I had…read morebeen putting off for a few years. So I found AGH on Yelp and put in the request on their website. I received a quick response and George came out to take a look at everything we wanted to do and provided an estimate later in the week. Once I had a chance to review all my estimates I contacted AGH and gave them the green light. They were able to start work on my projects within a week. Here are the projects I had them work on: -Custom built cabinet/pantry in my kitchen -Custom backsplash above my kitchen counter/sink -Remove/install new cabinet by my stove -Recaulk bathroom window in my shower From start to finish it took them about a week. Pretty reasonable given the amount of work I had done. They also stayed within the original budget that was quoted. They were also very clean and the workers that were in and out of my condo were very polite. I will definitely call them again for my next projects. Only reason I don't give 5 stars is because the communication could have been better coordinated. It seems they have different contacts for all aspects: estimates, payments, and actual work. This is my only knock on AGH, but overall I am very happy with all the work performed in my condo!

I Always paid him on time and never gave him a reason to get upset. Since then, he has been harassing my tenants and me, threatening to call the city inspector to come to my buildings, sending my tenants ideas how they can sue me trying to force a Tennent to go on a date with him for smoke and drink in a very aggressive way, and many more... He seems to be very desperate for work and claimed that no one wants to hire him and kept asking me for more work, and when I said, I'm not willing to work with him, he get upset and start threatening again. I would stay away from this guy and will never let him in my house or any of my properties. I also filed a police report against him and restriction order together with a few of my tenants that has been harassed I attached a few screenshots to show the type of service you will be dealing with working with this company. Update to the owner comment: I added a screenshot on this page, showing the phone number, matching the phone number. I was texting with plus I found you on the Yelp through this page

His prices were fair compared to others and he even picked up all the trim from the supplier about 20 miles away. Great work, would definitely use again.

I'm sorry to have to review this but Stan is not a painter. Said he was a painter, I have had…read moreseveral paintings before and nothing like this! He quoted me 1600 to 2000 to paint approximately a galley kitchen and 3 average walls with 2high ceilings. He said he would have someone help him. said it would take 4 days. He was also doing doors and trim. When he came the next day he was alone. During the course of the 8 hrs he was to work he left twice the first day worked a half a day the Second day. When came the. Third day he said he had to leave early again. That's when I told him finish the walls and forget the trim and doors and go! I Had to tell to him to-paint the wall twice because first coat did not cover and he still didn't do it right! I had to get someone else to finish up! He even had the nerve to say he should have charged square footage the second day he came after he already quoted me. He's a nice Man but not a HandyMAN! Had to clean paint off of floor and fireplace Maybe he does other work better on other things and I'm sorry I had to post this but very upset over the end result and the additional cost it cost me and stress

When we sold my dad's townhouse a while ago, they came out and did a number of repairs and installations; everything was done on time and with high standards.

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!
