They claim to respond in 48 hours, but this is sadly not the case
Rachel C.

I'm so sad to update this review, but the original praise I heaped on Hourly Husbands in 2017 seems to be undeserved in 2022. They do not respond to work requests and are rude over the phone--a total 180 from my experiences 5 years ago. I've used them twice, and have recommended them to friends and neighbors countless times. I submitted a work request on Thursday, June 16th via their web portal, and received no response. I called on Monday, June 27th, and was told they cannot give estimates or updates about via telephone and to send an email, so I did. I should also note that the woman I spoke to on the phone was wholly uninterested in customer service and seemed irritated that I had called her place of work at all. It's now Thursday, June 30th, and I still haven't received an update via the portal or email. Even allowing for holidays and weekends that's a 9-day period to even wait to schedule something. I could have had the work done and dusted at this point but am not even on a schedule because I was holding out for what I thought was a gem of a company instead. I get that lots of people are doing home improvement projects these days and the Great Resignation has left many businesses understaffed, but there are multiple ways of automating responses so that people know they are slammed if this is the case. Currently their website says "We will contact you within 48 hours to schedule your appointment." It's been two weeks without a peep. It's a shame because they used to be so great!

It is with great sadness that I am actually writing this because my prior experiences with this company have been positive. I've been doing business with this company since 2019. I don't know what has happened, but the lack of professionalism and unresponsiveness have now forced me to put this out. I'm a property owner who resided in California and used this company to do some repairs while there. They were great. Professional, clear, and concise estimates, good quality work. I wish they were still that way so I wouldn't feel forced to write this, but am at my wit's end and need to get the keys to my property back. I hired them some months ago to do waterproofing work in my small basement store in DC. Paid them the total amount, and when I arrived to check on the work found trash, unfinished walls, etc. I immediately called to inquire what happened and why the work was not finished. I provided pictures of how the space was left, and Salomon, their POC, apologized profusely and promised he would look into it. I was never given an explanation but was assured that they would clear out all the construction debris, which included the coverage of an exterior storm drain that had concrete. I also asked them to look into another matter at one of the other spaces in the same building. A clogged shower drain. Because tenants had just moved in, I had asked that they focus on the shower first so as not to disturb the new tenants prior to their move-in. This was ignored. I was also told that the wall job in the basement turned out to be more and that I would be charged an additional 800 dollars, and that he (Salomon) was trying hard to negotiate with the management since he knew the situation I'd faced with defaulting tenants, etc. and that they had left such a mess. The shower project became a bigger issue than they could resolve, so I was asked to call a plumber, which I did. At this point, my new tenants had moved in the ceiling in the space below the shower had to be opened. The plumber did his job, and since then, I have been attempting to get ahold of HH and their staff with no replies. No responses to emails, which is the ONLY way the manager responds. BUT HE/SHE DOESN'T. Salomon continues to decline my calls and doesn't respond to my texts either, and I'm now finding myself having to chase someone to get my keys to my property. This is completely unacceptable and unprofessional. I have been nice and respectful and paid my bills. I expect the same from any company I do business with. Based on more recent reviews, whatever is going on at this company, it is obvious that they have gone in a direction that potential clients should consider if selecting them. At this point, I would not recommend them, not because their quality is not good, but because they are unreliable, especially when it comes to communication-something that should be done in good faith and trust with customers. At this point, I want my keys!

Time wasted sending me thousands of excuses when they could simply send someone to fix this and make it right....

Based on all the great reviews and experiences, I decided to give these folks a try. Unfortunately, my experience has been far from great. What started as a minor faucet leak has resulted in a major nightmare. I wouldn't recommend this business for plumbing services specifically. I am now stuck with a service fee bill and a bigger mess to deal with-had to shut off my water and find another plumber to fix their work. Tried reasoning with the office manager as I love to support local business and am happy to pay 120 bucks for a job well done. My current reality after hiring this company: I'm stuck paying their $120 fee for substandard work, cleaning their mess, ordering more parts, and paying another plumber to resolve this because they left a bigger mess... You can decide if you want to deal with this drama..I opted to pay for $120 bucks so I don't have to hear from them again. Please note $120 does not set anyone back, it is the principle that they charge you for a terrible service. I have attached my proof of payment. Save your money or better yet work with a local business that actually cares about the quality of their work and the services rendered.

See all

Philip's Design - Custom cut-to-length  Curtain Rods and drapes close to ceiling. Customer wanted them just barely touching the floor.

Philip's Design

Responded very quickly and offered to come the same day, on a Saturday, no less, so we appreciated…read morethat. We needed curtains hung. I had started the job myself but got an anchor screw stuck and figured I should have a pro step in so I didn't wreck my new walls. All the supplies were here, placed where they needed to be, holes were measured and marked for custom made rods and drapes. He charges by the hour and moves very, very slow. He didn't have his own step ladder or anchor screws. In the first hour, he managed to put in 3 screws in holes that had already been marked. He claimed he "needed to remeasure" and that's why it took so long, but he used the holes that I had already marked. He also said it was too hard to do with custom cut rods. He also said it wasn't his fault because I had an anchor screw stuck in the wall already, which was the whole reason I hired him. This is what pros do: they come prepared, know the required materials and techniques, and advise the customer on the best way to proceed. I knew we needed to cut it off when he asked me how to use an anchor screw. He didn't know if you needed to pre-drill or not for a very basic and common anchor. I cannot imagine a professional handyman not knowing that. He used a level to stare at the pre-marked holes for what seemed like an eternity, just eating up time. 3 screws = $200. Seems like a nice enough man, but handyman may not be the profession for him, and that's giving him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't just trying to take advantage of someone he assumed was too naive too know how long the job should take. He became very defensive, making excuses when I said we'd need to end the job at one hour. Im sure judging by other less than 5 star reviews here (that I really wish I'd have taken the time to read) he will post a very defensive response here as well. Please just don't take a job you don't have the required expertise to complete, and I don't want to hear defensive excuses when I'm still out $200 for almost no work completed.

Had him hang about 8 paintings throughout the house. Very good, professional, responsive. Good…read morevalue for money spent.

As you can see, the kids broken a pane of glass on the window leading to the sunroom and Alex was able to replace it with a similar piece of glass without any issues. I feel like the photos speak for themselves in terms of what he can fix. He was very responsive via text and prompt with when he would arrive for taking measurements or for installing. We are a no shoes household and he noticed that right away on entry and took his shoes off so that he didn't step on our carpet with his shoes. I appreciate his attention to details like that and being respectful. The price was reasonable at 220 to repair this. There's no way I would have been able to get this done myself given the time it took. I will definitely be using Alex as my handyman from here on out.

They got back to me immediately which I really appreciated, and even after a problem getting to my house (unexpected road work in my neighborhood), we were able to communicate over text to get an estimate. They came out promptly to get the repairs done and did an excellent job. In addition to the scheduled work, the guys took a look at a couple other issues I had to give me a professional opinion on options, and advised and gave me a quote for some other exterior siding/trim maintenance recommended. The work was reasonably priced and I really appreciated being able to get someone professional, reliable, and timely to get the work done. I would highly recommend them for any work you need done!
