An update to a review from a few years ago. Fred is still awesome. We adopted a kitty that had some anxiety and chewed up some door and window moldings in our home. Fred was here to replace them all. He took his time and removed each damaged molding with care. Because of this, there was ZERO damage to the walls. I didn't have to do ANY repainting or wall repair, making my life easy. Highly recommend Fred. read more

Fred is my go to handyman. He's a great person and he is meticulous in making sure all work is done clean, quick, and to perfection. I have had him repair everything from installing toe boards under cabinets. Fixing pipes under sink to putting in a cat door to building shelves to installing mounting tvs to mounting heavy mirrors to fixing doors etc. Fred does it all and he's the best....what more can I say read more

We had a 13 year old dishwasher that wasn't working and Fred explained that it was hooked up to the garbage disposal so all of the refuse from the disposal was going back toward the washer and clogging the pipe that connected them. We bought a new dishwasher and he hauled away the old one, brought our electrical up to code behind the washer, cut a hold in our granite so that he could install an overflow device, and installed the new machine. He was on time, gave us a clear estimate before hand, and did quality work. We will definitely call him the next time we need help! read more

Not knowledgeable as much as we expected. And doesn't have "can do" attitude. Charge $50 for estimate, walk through very briefly.Maybe work for others But didnt work for us. read more

Extremely honest person to work with. Thank you for stopping by and offering your genuine opinion. We really appreciated your advice. Highly recommend. read more

My aging kitchen faucet was in need of replacement. Following an extensive review of prospective providers, I decided to reach out via email to Handyman On-Time to express my needs. Fred, the owner, literally responded within minutes and effectively provided me with the necessary information to initiate the process for replacement that included, at my request, a recommended faucet to purchase. Fred's delivery of service was an extraordinary experience; he's the consummate professional who's personable, reliable and trustworthy. Seldom do we experience a repair service that is memorable for the quality, care and thoroughness, thus, I endorse Handyman On-Time without reservation. Thank you Fred, you're the best! read more

I found Fred through online reviews. I needed my pulldown attic ladder replaced and several shop-lights installed in my garage. Fred showed up on time, had the materials necessary to do the job, and worked the entire day to get the job done. He asked me great clarifying questions about where I wanted things, how I wanted them installed, and shared any concerns he had. Towards the end of the day, he realized he was missing a piece for an outlet install and he wasn't able to get one due to the wide-ranging supply chain issues going on. He kept in touch with me and came back a few days later once he was able to get his hands on the item. Above all he was professional and a very nice guy. I will absolutely keep his information handy for the future when I will need some help with my house. The value was really good in my opinion. He did a perfect job installing a square, plumb, and level entrance to the attic and all of the lights and outlets he installed look great. read more

We have been working with Fred for many years. He is amazing! He is highly skilled, responsive, and his prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend hiring him! read more

Fred is awesome! He is very responsible, well organized and skilled. He was very patient to answer all my questions, and always talked through his plan first before he did his work. In short, he is a very nice guy to work with. Not only he helped me with some fixing work, but also he designed and built a walk-in closet for us. His price is way cheaper than other custom closet contractor I quoted with. Both my wife and me like the closet he built. If you want a fancy custom closet, probably you should find a contractor specializing in closet; but if you just want a solid well-organized custom closet with affordable price, Fred is a very good choice for you. I highly recommend Fred for any handyman work, and I will definitely go to him for future projects. read more

Frank replaced a chandelier hanging from a high ceiling. He came on time and did a great job. I am saving his info for all of our future work around the house. read more

Fred was amazing! He's prompt with his responses, very personable, extremely skilled, and just simply a genuine, nice guy. He was patient with me when I had questions and was thorough with his explanations of his work, but more importantly, he didn't make me feel like the small jobs were not "worth his time" like other companies made me feel (during the bidding process). Our garage ceiling fix was going to be much bigger than originally anticipated due to an unforeseen structural issue and Fred gave me his honest opinion so we can make the right decision and there was no pressure for immediate answer. And putting up skylight blinds in our unique setting was much more difficult than expected but he didn't complain one bit. He even said it was a good learning opportunity! But most importantly, he was completely unobtrusive while I worked from home and our dog loved having him around -- she was SO happy to see him every morning! It was like having a friend over to help us out. I highly recommend Fred for any handyman needs! read more

Fred is great to work with. He was on-time (as expected, given the name). I had a few projects for him: - Fix holes in the drywall left by previous contractors. He did a wonderful job here. Looks great. - The bigger job I had was to replace posts for my carport. The posts were on top of concrete and rotting. Not only did he replace the posts, he fixed the actual problem by using a galvanized plate between the concrete and the post to prevent the rotting from happening again. He was able to drill through the existing concrete without cracking and saved me a lot of money. Fred is great. I would love working with him again, and I'll keep him in mind for future projects. read more

Work was scheduled sooner than I'd expected would be available. Did a great job, fair cost, cleaned up thoroughly afterwards. Would definitely hire again. read more

Fred is really awesome to work with! I'm an out of state landlord and he helped me take care of all the little things that needed to be repaired to turn over the property. Notably the slate stone flooring in the entryway was deeply scratched by my previous tenant. I called a few other handyman services and despite providing specific instructions on how to go about the repair (via google) none were willing to take on the challenge. Fred was down to help and when he was done he sent me pics and the slate stones looked brand new again! Fred's really easy to work with and I highly recommend him. Upon completion of work he told me that it took a lot less then he initially quoted and discounted the invoice! This is what you call a 5 star experience!!! read more

If you are tired of having a list of things to do around the house that just don't get done, call Fred! The prices are reasonable, the quality of his work is great, he's on time, of course (!), and he is a fabulous guy to work with. You owe it to yourself to let someone help you check off your To Do list! read more

We've had 34 years of experiences with a variety of handymen. Many were good, but our experience with Fred is the first we've wanted to post a review on. He is a pleasure to deal with. He's experienced, answers all questions, listens, and wants the customer to be satisfied. Fred is a perfectionist which is reflected in the quality of his work. Highly recommend!!! read more

Fred is terrific - professional, prompt, meticulous in his work, and a nice guy to boot! He replaced the flooring under our kitchen sink that was damaged from a slow long-term leak. The new floor is quality birch and looks great! We're delighted to have discovered him and will definitely be using Fred in the future! read more

Fred has helped us a few times in setting up our new home. From simple mounting tasks to more complicated electrical work, he has consistently done an excellent job and I'm very satisfied by his work. During scheduling, he is very upfront about cost, potential complications, and details of the work he will be performing. He has always arrived on time, and finished within the estimated time window after cleaning up. Working with Fred is a very stress-free experience for me, and I would recommend him for all kinds of home improvement project. read more

Great experience with help I needed hanging my art and other things around my my new place. Fred even did a repair to a desk that was in pretty rough shape. He is kind, considerate and reasonably priced. Thank you for making it feel like home. read more

We had Fred come and install baseboards in 3 bedrooms and hall. he did a wonderful job. He was on time, personable, friendly and cleaned up when he was done. We would definitely hire him again. Carmen Simpromptu read more

Extremely professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Henceforth my go to for all handy man needs!

UPDATE: He showed up and got super defensive that I hadn't responded to his confirmation email (sent at 11pm the night before our 9am appt) I said please, just fix the washing machine I've really been counting on this. Then I made a bank run because I was out of checks and wanted to pay him. When I got back, he had left AND LEFT MY BUSINESS OPEN/UNLOCKED WITH NOBODY IN IT without calling or texting me or anything. Ironic name for this business considering this is the second week in a row I'm waiting for this guy to actually show up. Last week he didn't come at all and this week, he's already half an hour late. I rushed over to make sure these repairs got done before business hours. He berated me for not responding to the confirmation email that he sent last night at 11pm... when I was already in bed BECAUSE I HAD TO GET UP EARLY TO MEET HIM, WHICH WAS APPARENTLY A WASTE OF TIME BECAUSE HE'S NOT HERE. I will update this and increase the rating if he actually ever decides to show up and fix anything, as agreed in our original email on March 2, over two weeks ago! read more

I found Fred through his excellent Yelp reviews. We needed to replace a non-functioning ventilation fan on the third floor of our townhouse. Fred was very responsive to our email for a quote. He was also very communicative during both the quote and installation process. He would send email appointment confirmations for both, the day before. Fred has professional skills. More importantly, Fred has people skills. And that is important to me. He's an interesting, honest and well-rounded person. He's cool guy. Really cool. It's a good combination to possess. Fred should change his name to Handyman Early. He arrived early for the quote. He also arrived early to complete the job. Call Fred if you want things done on time. Or even early. ::ant:: read more

Definitely 10 stars for Handyman Fred!!! My dog chewed a couple walls in my apartment and I wanted them fixed as im moving out this week and don't want to get charged a lot. I found handyman on time on Yelp and gave him a try because of the great reviews. Thank you to everyone who left a review before me, I am VERY happy I hired this guy. He is nice, on time, and does awesome work!!! He was super fast, and when I came to look at it this morning, it went above and beyond my expectations. It looks perfect!! It cost a little bit more than I expected, but I'm sure it did take some time and it was definitely worth every penny. He left my keys exactly where he said he would too. Great experience. Thank you Handyman On Time! You rock! read more

Fred is great! He is quick, communicates clearly and gives competitive prices. I love the after shots he takes! It really makes my job as a property manager easy. I'll definitely use handyman on-time agin! read more

Fred saved me from the pickle I brined myself in. I was nearly done changing all the outlets in my home when a lack of knowledge and a couple mistakes had me stuck and frustrated. Not only did Fred fix the problem, he was patient and took the time to help me learn a bit along the way. He really went the extra mile. read more

DFred is a true man of integrity and a wonderful person. The moment he walks in you could easily tell that Fred was not your average handyman, he exudes a kindness and authencity that is far too rare. He was (of course) on time, professional, friendly and polite, neat, and all the things you could ask for and more. He puts his heart in his work no matter how small the job, like even hanging up posters on the wall-- I'll never forget all the tools he took out and how he measured every angle and distance from whatever possible to ensure that everything was perfect. He was very detail oriented even with the bigger projects, and even when I thought something looked good enough he would take it to a much better state. What also surprised me was when I sent him an email letting him know that I appreciated all he has done, he replied in a most grateful manner that was professional but 'real'. I can't recommend Fred enough, it's worth the wait! read more

Complete asshole this man!!! Complete!! Spoke to Him on the phone once and he was so so rude! I would never ever have such an asshole work for me!! He left a lengthy voicemail. Which I heard. I was about to email him for the appointment when he called again. So I asked him the quote and what kind of services he provides. He kept repeating for every question LITERALLY that just email. And then he downright got so so rude and told me if you would have listened to the voicemail, you would know everything. You don't want no For an answer. Let me tell you something you asshole Fred- customer is god. They pay you money. That's how your business runs! If you be such a rascal on the phone why would ppl want to pay you for over priced estimates. You just like easy money do you? Just like to make easy 45$ huh!!?? You should be ashamed of how you talk to ppl on the first time itself!!! ASSHOLE! oh and if this isn't enough. Read the other reviews many people have mentioned he has a temper! read more

Fred is great, provide excellent service and always on time He is very professional and polite, the communication is very clear and did the excellent job that beat my expectation. The dry wall repaired was perfect and he worked very hard to make sure everything get taken care of during the repair process. After the repair, he replied email on time and also help us to scan, sign and take care of some insurance forms. The rates and charges are very reasonable and exactly the same as the original estimate offered. We will definitely use him again in the near future, and always recommend him to my co-workers in Microsoft. read more

Fred is fantastic! We have been engaging his handyman services since 2016 for a variety of different jobs at our home. He not only can tackle just about any project I find for him, but he does it with a meticulous attention to detail. He is patient when my children ask him questions while he is working, precise with his execution and leaves the space that he is working in clean and neat. He's made many of my Pinterest dreams come true. My home is better and more beautiful for having had him work in it. Thank you Fred for all that you do for us! read more

Handyman On-Time - Fred made custom shelves using brackets I purchased from Restoration Hardware. - Handyman Near Me

See all

Scheduled an estimate appointment with Fred via email (as requested). Fred never showed up didn't bother to call us. Glad I figured this out before giving him the job. UPDATE Turns out that Fred was asking to schedule an estimate on 9/28. We misread the email because we expected a faster response than 4 weeks out. I've already found someone else that can be more responsive. read more

Fred is an absolute treasure. He is a clear and concise communicator and is SO patient with us as first-time homeowners who only know what we're doing about half the time. He did a few small jobs and a medium one (removing a countertop in laundry area), and was consistently professional and courteous, especially regarding our work schedules. Highly recommend!! read more

What a guy! Fred helped us out with some drywall repair in a pinch and saved the day. He went out of his way to accommodate us, and we couldn't be happier with his work. He's skilled, personable, and is clearly passionate about the service he provides. Many thanks to Fred. read more

I have zero complaints. He showed up "On-Time" did some electrical trouble shooting, patching and painting. He was upfront with things that were out of his scope as well. ...and friendly too! read more

Fred was great! It's hard (at least in my experience) to find a handyman that is prompt with responses and honest with prices. He knows his stuff and was extremely helpful with random handyman questions I had. I highly recommend and will definitely use him for future home needs moving forward. read more

I really appreciate the help and work Fred has provided to me in remodeling my home. It was really a crunch time and I was desperately looking for a handyman because the handyman which I hired bailed out the last minute. Fred came in and he went beyond his busy schedule to adjust mine and did a fantastic job. I will surely recommend him to other as well as use his service in future too. He was very humble and polite and gave the assurance like a friend. I really admire his friendliness and politeness. Way to go Fred thanks for everything!!!! Woho!!!! Mohammed Imtiaz. read more

I had to get an exhaust fan and a toilet replaced, along with some miscellaneous electrical work and drywall repair in my bathroom. Looked around for reviews on Yelp and decided to call Handyman On Time. Fred gave me a quote and mentioned that there was a wait of three weeks or so because they were booked up weeks in advance, and I decided to wait since it wasn't an emergency. His communication was excellent - he responds to emails and pictures and gave me quick updates about exactly when he can arrive, and was right on time. I'm glad I waited! Fred is excellent at what he does. and the quality of work was excellent. He's a hard worker and when he found that the electrical work that I needed wasn't as easy as expected, (a whole new line needed to be pulled and a new breaker had to be installed to support the load) he quoted me a very fair price for the additional work that he had to do. I asked about replacing a sink and he actually suggested that it's better to have the existing layout instead of getting the new kind I wanted - I just ended up repairing it and that saved me a lot of money. I love the fact that he did not try to oversell me on anything. He even ran and got the best fan that he could when he found that the fan that he originally planned to install couldn't be installed because of structural restriction in my building. Fred is also a very hard worker. My fan repair took longer than expected but he was gracious and stayed late and made sure everything was finished off and working properly, instead of having me take another day off, and worked a 12 hour day doing not-so-light physical work. The wall was repaired perfectly, I couldn't see the joining line even after I knew where it might be and looking at it from up close. I also appreciated his kindness, we chatted about a bunch of stuff while he was working and he's just a great person overall - very polite and friendly, extremely patient and has no sign of "attitude" that some other contractors tend to have when I've asked them questions or advice about repairs. He was more than willing to give detailed tips on how to do certain things myself if the need arose. He offered to come take a look if I wasn't fully satisfied after everything dried/settled, but I didn't have a reason to call him afterwards because everything turned out perfectly. More than six months later, the items that he installed are in top shape and never once had I any problems with any of the installations. I would definitely contact him again for any future work to be done on my condo. Now I know why his business is booked weeks or months in advance. His work is definitely worth the wait. read more
