What sold me on Mr. Handyman was that they're a proper insured franchise rather than a random handyman off a listing. The technician fixed our rotting deck boards cleanly and stood behind the work. Slightly pricier than a freelancer, but the reliability was worth it.
Insured, dependable, clean work
Costs a bit more than freelancers
Mr. Handyman came out same-day when water was seeping under our bathroom sink and the technician traced it to a failed shutoff valve, replaced it, and checked the surrounding pipes for good measure. He was thorough, friendly, and cleaned up completely. Exactly what you want in a home repair service.
Same-day fix, thorough, clean
I hired Mr. Handyman to install floating shelves and repair some damaged baseboard trim and the result looks like a finish carpenter did it. The technician measured carefully, the lines are dead straight, and he respected the house the whole time. I've already booked them for the next project.
Precise carpentry, respectful, rebooked
I had a backlog of small repairs and Mr. Handyman sent one guy who handled the door that wouldn't latch, a wobbly railing, and a leaky faucet all in an afternoon. He was tidy and professional. The only small thing was he had to come back briefly for a part he didn't have on the truck.
Versatile, efficient, tidy
Needed a return trip for parts
Mr. Handyman fixed a sagging gutter and patched some drywall and the actual craftsmanship was solid. The frustration was the final invoice came in well above the estimate because of hourly billing I hadn't fully understood. Decent work, but I'd nail down the costs in writing next time.
Quality repairs
Bill exceeded the estimate
