We had Vinny to our home for a couple very complicated repairs which took hours to complete. To our…read moresurprise the bill for Vinny's services was way below what we expected to pay and we were very impressed with that type of honesty and value, which is rare to find in this type of service from our past association with handyman services. Vinny was very knowlegeable about how to complete the repairs, and his professionalism and expertise was impressive. If you are searching for a handyman that you can trust to complete your repairs properly and pay a fair price for the work this is the guy you want to call. World class handyman! We highly recommend his services. Jim C.

I strongly recommend Vinny. He is responsive, which is a huge plus, and extremely talented. I had…read morehim replace and install a custom oak threshold in my kitchen. His replica was exactly like the threshold he removed, not an easy feat given the complexity of the angle he needed to cut. He promised to have it fabricated and reinstalled within a few days, and he kept to his promise, another huge plus, especially for a contractor. I plan on bringing him more projects. For Orange County, NY residents, he is someone to have on one's short-list of tradesmen.

I called Powergen Electric for an estimate on a job I needed done. Andy came to my house and gave…read moreme an estimate that I thought was very fair. In addition to giving me a fair estimate, Andy was personable, knowledgeable, did not rush and clearly explained how the job would be done. On the scheduled day, Nick G. arrived on time and completed the job. He was careful, clean and did an AMAZING job. It was so much better than I had anticipated. To say I am happy with the results is an understatement. I am so happy I called Powergen for my job. I will definitely hire then again, I have already referred them to family and friends. I highly recommend them.

Marty is a true handyman, and a really nice guy…read more We have an apartment that's...old. So it has a few things that always need fixing up. And I'll be honest, the handyman we usually work with was booked up for months. It actually seemed like all the handymen were. (There's a pandemic out there, and apparently everyone's taking the time to fix up their home.) Marty let me know that he was busy too, and that he was taking some time to spend with his family (and you can't begrudge someone being a good family man). But he was willing to do the work when he was free, which is all we could ask. I also appreciate how he operates. He'd prefer to get photos/video of what the problems were so he can give you an accurate estimate before even setting foot in the place (saves everyone time), and so he can show up with all the materials necessary (saves everyone time and money). His website is also pretty comprehensive; it lists all the things he does, who he is, how he works, and shows work he's done. That's how I found him, and I'm glad I did. I also like that he's willing to admit what he can't do (in our case, it was more involved electrical work). Some folks claim they can do anything, and will do a less than ideal job; Marty will just recommend someone who he's worked with and can vouch for. In any case, we had a few odd jobs that needed doing, and once Marty let me know when he was available, he was on time, and efficient. He did quality work. I thought the pricing was fair for his time and labor, and I would hire him again. That's really all you can ask from a handyman.

It can be tough to find a handyman/contractor for projects, and even tougher to find one willing to…read moretake on small projects. I was pleased to learn about Marty and HV Handyman from a Yelp review, and even more pleased that the review was written by someone from Yelp I actually know in person. Marty is professional yet casual, a nice combination. He was always quick to get back to me when I contacted him in advance of the work, always in less than 24 hours. When I initially sent him a description of the work and a photo, he got back right away with his estimates of time and materials, and cost. Along the way, he was proactive when it came to things unexpected or little adds. For example, he discovered rodent damage on some of my electrical wires, and he immediately offered to take care of that. Within an hour, he had gone and returned to the local Home Depot with the extra materials to address the issue, and the add-in to the overall cost was again reasonable. He did 99% of the cleanup as well, leaving me with about 5 minutes of work to wipe off some dust after he completed the spackling, sanding, and painting. Marty also doesn't over-book, and he is again up front with what he can and cannot do. I've already discussed another project or two I'd like him to tackle once warmer weather has returned. I only hope he hasn't been swamped with additional work requests based on positive word-of-mouth and word-of-Yelp.

I am so happy we hired CF Group to handle our four season room expansion over our existing back…read moredeck. Carl and his workers were knowledgeable, kind, hard-working and precise. He was fair with his pricing and broke payments out in chunks as steps were completed. From the beginning to the end of the project, Carl was there the whole time, present and approachable. We had lots of questions and he answered them all right away-he's a great communicator. His clever mind and background in engineering came in handy, especially when attaching our existing roof to the new roof. We will be hiring him again for sure as we have a few other smaller construction projects in the near future. In fact he and his worker, just put in new support posts for our front porch within a few short hours. They worked fast and neatly, clean-up for both projects went well. Thanks again!

There was not one item that I wanted fixed, painted, adjusted, replaced or rewired that they couldn't handle. Eduardo's painting and repair of my walls was impeccable.

I thought the pricing was very fair as well. My family and friends just couldn't believe the transformation of my home. I am so happy with everything and wouldn't hesitate to have First Call, Carl and Eduardo back again and I'm planning on it already.

Our experience with previous Contractor's has not been good , so of course we were cautious when we contacted Meiso back in April. He strung us along for almost three months by not committing to a start date. When he did finally give us a start date, he wanted us to hold less money on the back end, than what is required (10 -15 % hold money). When I offered to meet him half way, so we can feel comfortable that he would be back to finish the work. The owner stated that ..."he is not feeling this project and best of luck" then ghosted me. Every homeowner knows how hard it is to find a good contractor, but impossible to find one during the summer season. So getting our dormer/ roof fixed, repairing our back porch and remodeling our shower stall will all have to be on hold.
