For our 3-bedroom, single-family, one-story house, we hired Sanders Handyman Service to: 1. Paint most of the interior (1 color, 1 sheen) 2. Paint the entire exterior (2 colors, 1 sheen, 1 latex, 1 oil) 3. Replace master bath countertop & mirror 4. Replace guest bath countertop, mirror, and light fixture 5. Fix warped shelves in kitchen & bathroom cabinets, including replacing 1 drawer 6. Repair and/or replace rotted sidings & trims/boards around exterior and underside of back porch 7. Repair 3 downspouts 8. Make minor handyman repairs We chose Sanders Handyman Service over 2 other viable candidates (all 3 had similar price points and excellent Yelp reviews), because he was able to start the job within a week of giving us an estimate. The others couldn't start until 3 weeks later. During the 2 weeks of this project, we dealt almost exclusively with Chris, the owner/operator/supervisor/handyman. What we liked about Chris: 1. Very good communication (A). Chris was quick to answer texts, emails, and calls. He kept us posted on the schedule & progress of the projects. 2. Flexible (B). Chris and his crew worked around the erratic and piecemeal delivery of the bathroom countertops/mirrors/light (not within his control). He quickly provided updated estimates for add-on requests after the initial estimate. Parts of the work that were satisfactory: 1. Interior paint job (A) 2. Replacing bathroom countertops/mirrors/light (B) 3. Removal of bulk trash (A) What Chris did well sometimes, but not consistently: 1. Pleasant attitude (B). On his own, Chris was polite with a can-do attitude. When one of his crew stressed him out, Chris turned combative toward us on the day of walk-through to inspect the job when we pointed out the areas that weren't completed satisfactorily as contracted. 2. Attendance (B). Chris showed up when he said he would, except on the last day when he said he'd return with a tall ladder to apply another coat of paint to high window trim that needed it--and he never showed. What we complained about: 1. Inferiority of the wood sidings & particle boards used for cabinet shelves and Chris's response to our complaints (F). In hindsight, we should have supplied the sidings & particle boards or specified the quality grade of the materials. a) One of the siding panels warped on the second day. When we pointed this out, Chris said he'd replace the panel, but in the end, he or his crew just hammered in the warped spots. When we complained, Chris said the wood was perfectly good. We'll keep an eye on that board, and if it doesn't hold up during the 1-year guarantee period of the contract, then we'll contact Chris to replace it. b) The particle boards used weren't smooth--the surfaces were all splinters--not appropriate for kitchen cabinet shelves. When we complained, Chris said these cost $7/piece, whereas the smooth type cost $25/piece. We ended up buying adhesive shelf-liners to cover the shelves ourselves. 2. Taking shortcuts on the paint job (D). Chris's crew didn't tape off the windows & other places when paint-spraying the exterior, causing paint sprays on the masonry, the window screens, and the tiles inside the house where the windows were opened. They tried to clean up, but didn't do a thorough job, leaving us to clean up after they left. 3. One crewman's negative attitude (D). When he replaced the door knobs, he mixed them up--closets had security locks, bathrooms didn't--so when we pointed these out, he became surly and in his haste to finish, he scratched some knobs. 4. Lack of thoroughness (D). a) They forgot to paint the back porch railings & trellis and the entire front porch. When we pointed these out, Chris returned to paint the front porch & back porch railings, but we were anxious to put the house on the market & we didn't want to wait another day for them to return, so we painted the trellis ourselves. b) They weren't going to rebuild a cabinet drawer as contracted. Chris said during walk-through inspection that rebuilding the drawer wasn't possible, so he left it untouched (and he didn't mention making restitution for not doing it). After we looked the drawer again with him, he then determined that it could be done, so he and his crew returned the next day and did it. 5. Lack of attention to detail and lack of pride/quality in workmanship (F). Too numerous to mention, but the worst was that some of the boards used for the cabinet shelves weren't nailed in evenly or cut & applied professionally. 6. Overpromising & Under-delivering (D). This seemed to be the overall theme. Some examples are already listed above. Bottom line: I wouldn't hire Chris again for a contract of this size involving several jobs that require a few men over many days. read more

We contacted Sanders Handyman Service to cut down the legs of 12 counter stools and make them dining chair seat height. Within 15 minutes of contacting Chris, he had responded with a quote and next day availability. Once I had approval from my client, the job was completed perfectly, less than a week after first contact. Chris was provided measurements via email and completed the job with no representative onsite making the management of this task from another state possible for me. He even provided photos of the finished work. We would highly recommend Sanders Handyman Services for any of your contracting needs read more

Chris is an amazing young man. So far we have had him reset our washer and dryer to side-by-side, hang cupboards above them, build shelves in a very undersized closet and help clean and organize our garage. Everything he has done has been done in a professional and quality manner. He is amazing to work with and will do whatever is needed to get the job done. He takes pride in his work and it shows. read more

Chris and his crew did some structural repair on my storage shed. They showed up on time, and the work was done efficiently. They jacked it up, replaced some of the boards around the base, rebuilt the doors, installed new hinge hardware, calked, painted the new wood, and put concrete pavers under each corner. I'll call them again when I need more handyman work! read more

Chris from Sanders oversaw the remodel of my half bath. The process was so smooth. Quality work done in one day. Communication was excellent. The team checked with me on my preferences of tile layout for the floor. Went the extra steps with removing the baseboards, replacing the valves for the sink/vanity. Very knowledgeable. I will be using them again! read more

Chris does great work and was great to work with. He did some drywall repair and painting. I asked him to do a couple of extra small tasks on top of what he quoted, and he wouldn't accept any additional money. He was very communicative and an overall super nice guy. read more
