I needed an outside basement door installed. Having had a wooden door before, I wanted it to be…read moresturdier. Mr. Handyman is one of two companies in the St. Louis area that's certified to install Bilco steel doors. Here's the timeline for the engagement: July 22 or 23 - Handyman comes out to assess for quote. He said he'd have it done in 1-2 days. July 25 - I call and am told it can take up to a week for a quote. August 1 - I call back and I am told that Michelle, the office manager, is on vacation. No quotes processed without her. I wasn't told this when I called the previous week. August 7 - I get the quote. August 8 - I mail the check at my post office in Belleville. August 13 - Mr. Handyman confirms they received the check. August 16 - The Bilco door is ordered by Mr. Handyman. August 19 - Mr. Handyman cashes my deposit check for the door. August 23 - I call twice and leave messages. I am concerned that they received the check ten days previous, and they still don't know when the door will arrive. This is also a month after the handyman's visit. August 30 - The door is installed. I ordered a gray door. The door delivered to me was reddish-orange. The handyman told me that the Bilco factory didn't have gray in stock, so they ordered this color. Why did the back office at Mr. Handyman use my money to buy the wrong-colored doors without asking me, and then no one explains until they're in front of me and I asked? The handyman volunteered to paint the doors white to match my trim. I thought that was a nice customer service gesture. However, I bought the gray doors so that they wouldn't need to be painted and re-painted. The doors were hung with one a quarter-inch lower than the other. It's noticeable, especially when you see the handles. I politely asked the handyman why one door was lower than the other. He told me that he couldn't adjust them, which didn't answer my question. The problem with moving either door is that they're attached to a wooden frame under sheet metal. I think fixing it would require replacing the wood on that side. Anyway, I was presented the final bill. It was wrong. We had to call the office to verify and correct it. I waited five and a half weeks for new basement doors in the wrong color that aren't aligned right. I signed off and paid the balance. What a debacle. Next week I'll talk to someone else to see if there's any way to correct it. My handyman was a nice guy. He mentioned he has a heart condition, and I didn't want him out there in the hot weather any longer. I could've raised hell, but it had been such a bad engagement, and this guy looked beat. However, I felt that my overall experience was worth sharing. Earlier in all of this, I'd asked Mr. Handyman for a quote on other work. My handyman seemed to know his stuff and I had other small problems to fix. That quote took three weeks to receive. I actually forgot it. I had other people quote and do the work in that time. Unfortunately, the business was Mr. Handyman's to lose. In summary: I can't recommend this company in good conscience. They are on the less expensive size for mid-size jobs, but the organization lacks professionalism, and the work wasn't quite up to standard. Thank you. Edit: Reading the Bilco documentation, these doors are primed, but not painted. This is my mistake.

Today I used the services of a wonderful handyman, Ken at Goshen Home Services. I had several…read moreunusual problems that all happened at the same time, and he quickly fixed them all. I originally called him because my dryer was taking too long to dry clothes. The night before he was scheduled to come by, someone hit my mailbox and knocked it to the ground. During his first visit, he analyzed the problem with the dryer and determined it needed a better solution than a simple dryer vent cleanout. It needed materials, which he picked up for me. He also removed both parts of the mailbox so that I could take it to be welded. Today he came back, totally resolved the dryer issue, reinstalled the mailbox and also replaced one of my landscape lights that had burned out. It was a pleasure to deal with Ken. I will be using him again. I also gave his name to my son and daughter in law, who are moving to a new house and will need the assistance of a reliable, knowledgeable professional like Ken.

Not only were they great to work with, but his team was incredibly fast and diligent; they completed the work on time, within our budget, and with very high quality. We can't say enough good things about them and are very grateful we chose them to do our first home renovation project. We will definitely be working with them again in the future.
