I moved to Houston in January and I needed a bunch of different projects done around my house. Lightbulbs replaced (very high ceilings), microwave replaced, smoke detectors installed, sink drains, replaced shower handle, replace blinds, air filters cleaned and replaced etc. Israel came out for a quote and made the process really easy. Jesus came out to do the projects and he did an awesome job. Positive attitude, friendly demeanor, thorough and fast!! I have another round of projects I need done and I'm working with Israel again. I Can't say enough great things about this company. As a young female who just moved to a new city, I had no idea where to start to find a trustworthy handyman. I'll continue to work with Houston Helpers and recommend them to everyone. Thank you Israel and Jesus!! read more

HHH came as a recommendation from my realtor as we prepare to sell. They repaired a few areas inside and out and we are very pleased with the pricing and the outcome. Ed is very easy to work with and was very understanding of our requests. Recommend for work big or small! read more

We hired them initially to do a few small jobs and they really do a great job with everything so we've continued adding projects. They stay with us and get things done quicker than I'd have expected given how things are going currently with supply chain, availability. Israel has been working with us the most and he's really fantastic. Very professional, honest and trustworthy. We will continue using them. Haven't had a bad experience yet and we've gone through several projects together. read more

We have hired these guys on and off for about 6 years now and regardless of what our new project may be, they have met and exceeded our expectations every time. On time and on budget. Hats off, most defiantly to Ed and Jason!! read more

If you enjoy waiting until they getting around to responding, even after they schedule an appointment and don't show up, then these are your guys. If you enjoy having to call repeatedly, even after you're assured that someone will be there the next business day, only to be told (once they finally respond) that they're too busy on a different job and offer no set time as to when they will make good on your aborted expectations, then please do call Houston Heights Helpers. If you enjoy receiving excessively high estimates for relatively minor jobs, then by all means, call this group. While none of this may be unusual with many service providers, particularly in large cities, we had used this company a few times for larger jobs, and so we thought we could have some level of expectation, even though the job we wanted done this last time was a relatively small one (estimated $450). Of course, we learned differently. So even though we had several larger jobs we were going to ask them to do this fall, we decided that the only thing we have in this business relationship is our dollar, and we refuse to spend it with a place that is rude, unreliable and excessive in its rates. But if you like these characteristics then by all means, call Houston Heights Helpers!! read more

Excellent service. Highly recommend. Had a quick job and John took excellent care to complete the work timely and efficiently.

As new homeowners, we worried about finding the right handyman--someone who would do the job right for a fair price. Houston Heights Helpers fit the bill. Plus, the handyman arrived on the job early and finished early. Lastly, the final price matched the original estimate. We'll be using Houston Heights Helpers again. read more

We needed them to do a few little projects to make the house ready for the market. We have nothing but GREAT things to say about them. Steve and Alex did a fantastic job with the retiling of the showers. Johnnie did also a fantastic job with a laundry list of items needing to be fixed. We will ask them to come again without hesitation. We found these guys to be all very professional. They arrived on time, very polite and were friendly/easy to work with. Most importantly, the final results were great. read more

Great service. They listen to what you want to do and offer suggestions on how the work could be done. Then they do exactly what you ask. I've worked with Ed on 3 projects: 1) rehanging a large cedar door and removing a large section of concrete in our patio, 2) repairing the wood structural frame of a fence including work to insure the cause of its quick deterioration was completely corrected, 3) staining and painting the frame of double french doors along with replacing the glass in both doors. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations. The costs were reasonable and not once did the cost exceed the original quote. The work was completed on time and in a very professional manner. I'll continue to work with Heights helpers. read more

I really hate writing bad reviews. However, I also have a particular distaste for contractors who disregard their responsibility. Although the subject home improvement project was several years ago, the issue resulting in this review took a long time to reveal itself due to the nature of the problem. Houston Heights Helpers (HHH) was contracted to remodel a 3rd floor master bathroom. Major parts of the project included all new tile on the floors and installation of a new walk-in shower, including all plumbing fixtures. I purchased the 12" x 24" tile which HHH was then to install. One day I came home and was introduced to a bathroom with around half of the tile complete. HHH's representative then tries to prepare me for what I was about to see by saying something must have been wrong with the tile because it was bowed in the middle and this created an issue with the zero grout line I had requested. The tile looked horrible. The vertical surfaces in the shower were particularly noticeable because of the shadows created by the ceiling light splashing over all the irregular edges. Basically, HHH tried to blame me for way it turned out. Their excuse was that it was I who requested the zero grout line when it "should have been wider". Of course, I explained that THEY were supposed to be the experts on this and, if the tile didn't allow for the thin grout lines I requested, THEY should have advised ME before installing so much of the tile. In addition to this, they did a poor job on nearly everything else, which included sloppy installation of light fixtures, very poorly painted trim, sloppy calking and cabinet doors which I had to complain about numerous times before they were painted to an at least passable quality. The plumbers incorrectly installed the shower controls then discarded the installation instructions making it very difficult to figure out how to correctly do it. In the end they got the fixtures re-installed, but I think something with the temperature control is still not right. The owner of the company must have known things were not good. He called me and asked me if I would just pay a reduced amount because of all the issues. I ultimately agreed, but regret doing so. I shouldn't have paid them anything because I'll probably have to redo 80% of what they did before I'd be able to sell the house. Upon looking at the work, Roger Kaufman from HHH shook his head and said the tile guy "usually does a good job" and that he'd seen other work that looked a lot better. Putting that aside for a moment, flash forward to present day and me noticing a wet spot on the 2nd floor kitchen ceiling directly below the plumbing fixtures installed by HHH's plumber in the 3rd floor shower. By coincidence, I was retaining a contractor to do some kitchen remodeling and asked if he could check this new situation out. He determined it was coming from shower fixtures improperly installed, (by HHH's plumbing sub) which resulted in a very small leak inside the 3rd floor wall that literally took years to get worse and worse until it became noticeable on the 2nd floor ceiling. It had been a long time since the remodel, and definitely outside the warranty period. But, because this issue was so directly traceable to a specific cause, and due to the generally poor work done by HHH on almost everything else, I hoped they would step up and agree to make the repair, or at least discuss it. Instead, Roger Kaufman refused to help and succinctly told me to contact another company. In addition, I learned the excuses HHH gave me for the issue with the bowed tile were also lies. I recently brought this up with a kitchen & bath specialist who informed me that bowed tiles are not unusual and they just have to be installed in a slightly different pattern when doing a zero grout line. He also said it most likely even indicated that on the box. He also explained how the grout used by HHH was completely wrong for the application, which explains why it was stained and crumbling out from between the tiles after just a few weeks. So now I'm about to pay someone else to redo HHH's inferior work. If you hire them, I hope you have a better experience. Especially after this recent communication with them, I'd give zero stars if I could. read more

Let me just start by saying I NEVER write reviews, but I had to for these guys. They are truly so wonderful. Their system is very easy to use. They give you a quote up front and are honest with you about what things will cost. They give you more and less expensive options, and never try to do the most expensive thing just because it's best for them. I've worked with them twice now and both times I felt like their prices were very reasonable and they ended up matching exactly what was quoted. Both times Bill arrived and was able to get things done in a timely manner. The second time, he was able to fix a cabinet door, our bathroom drawers, and our ceiling fan in less than an hour and a half because he knew I needed to get to work. They are also very communicative with regards to their schedule. Roger called to schedule my appointment as soon as he knew I needed some work done, and when they couldn't accommodate their originally planned date, Roger texted and asked if we could reschedule. When I didn't follow up right away, he followed up with me to make sure my repairs were schedule. Not to mention the variety of work they are able to do. Bill changed our plugs to be up to code, working with our braker box and plugs, fixed a leaky sink, fixed drawers, etc. etc. They can really do anything. They are truly the best, most fair and honest people I've worked with so far in Houston, and I will continue to give them my business for any and all home repair needs I might have. read more

I have now used the outstanding services of Houston Heights Helpers (HHH) for the second time. They provided a number of services including painting, dry wall repair, pressure washing, water leak repair, stairs handrail repair, plumbing, etc. From the convenience of scheduling and paying online to the personal service of a manager from start to finish, you will not find a better company or professionals. Ed Mannery was with me every step of the way to insure that I was receiving prompt, attentive, and expert service. The quality of the work and the technicians' efficiency and speed cannot be surpassed. Every employee is ethical and professional so much so that I was not present when the work was performed. Never be at the mercy of a contractor again! read more
