Fabulous job! We…read morelive in a This Old House nightmare, and our main water line to the house broke. Robert came out to asses the damage **the same day** I called him. He came after normal working hours to assess the situation and back again once the city turned off the water. He had already worked a 10-hour day before working diligently and professionally repairing our house's plumbing issues. Robert worked from about 5 pm until he was done, even though it was past dark. He wanted to ensure we had access to water as soon as possible. Robert is incredibly patient, he will laugh at your dad jokes, and he will play with your dog who wants to chill in the trench Robert dug. It's so nice to have water again and to have a quick response from a talented plumber who ended up fixing more plumbing than planned and **still** came within budget. Finding a great plumber - that's a good thing.

This is a tough review to write because I think Zach, owner of Family Man Handyman, is more than…read morecapable of doing beautiful work and he is good with communication. However, my overall experience (including cost) have prevented me from hiring him again or recommending Family Man to others. I contacted this company to install a gliding garbage/recycling drawer behind a lower kitchen cabinet. In our new home, there isn't a pantry or really a good spot to put garbage, and I didn't want it out in the open! In addition, there were smaller jobs/odds and ends I wanted the handy man to look at IF he had time after installing the garbage drawer. In communication with Zach and on his recommendations, I purchased a glider system, appropriate garbage and recycling cans, and specific drawer handle from Home Depot prior to the appointment. Zach sent a fellow employee, Tom, which is where it started going wrong. Even with pictures and videos provided, Tom did not set up what we requested. Instead Tom apparently LEFT the house to go to the hardware store for some period of time to buy a completely separate system without asking me - he had my phone number and had been texting - and installed it without the drawer handle or any of the items I purchased! (Why am I charged time for him to go to the store?) Then, he did some of the smaller items on the list to mediocre results. For example the garage door that was stuck? Still stuck! Etc. I emailed Zach my disappointment and that Tom didn't accomplish what we asked at all. Zach then set up a time to come out himself and basically created my vision perfectly. Pictures included. To this day we LOVE our system - he even made the drawer "soft close". It's exactly what I had in mind. He also adjusted the invoice to fairly reflect 2 hours of Tom's time plus his day in our home. The final issue is the cost. In my mind, a "handy man" shouldn't cost an arm and a leg.. for a sliding garbage can behind a kitchen cabinet, it cost us $500 plus materials. It also irks me that we pay $75 for commute when his business is designed to come TO your home, and we live 15 minutes from Family Man. When Comcast comes out, do they charge you for commute? When we hired roofers from Tacoma, for example - a farther distance - they did not charge us $75 for the time it took to travel to our home. Zach is great at what he does - hence the 3 star review, you could still get exactly what you want - but quite honestly I'm not sure the people he's working with or the cost of services makes Family Man worth it. I wish I would have read a review such as this before spending $500.

Remember when a "handyman" service was the cheaper way to get a small project done? Not if you hire…read morethese guys. I opted not to hire them after I received a $2,100 estimate to replace a single 15"x2.5" floorboard, caulk around a single window, and examine a rattling attic fan. I hired someone else to replace the floorboard for $250. The prices begin to make "sense" when you receive their fee schedule: $75 just to give an estimate (Don't worry though - if you hire them you can put it toward paying one of their many other fees!) $50-$100 "trip fee" per day that they do work $75-$250/hour per employee per hour There's a 25% markup for materials - even if YOU provide the materials! Of course, since they don't provide a line-item breakdown on their estimate, I have no idea how these exorbitant fees even got to $2,100 for what should have been no more than 5-7 hours of work. Please learn from my mistake and don't bother asking this company for an estimate unless you plan to wildly overpay for a project. Update: I added a star because they refunded my $75 ($81 after tax!) without my asking, after I responded to their bid with an email expressing my displeasure.
