Newark Handyman Services

" showed up on time and got right to work. He was at my house for approximately 3.5 hours and did several jobs. He moved from one job to another without taking a break. He was courteous and professional, easy to work with. Everything was clean when he finished with no indication any work had been done except the new shower ...more door and fixtures! I have many other jobs that I am going to ask

to do in my home in the near future.

"I will not hire him again. When I first called I told him I found him here on Angies List. He was on a job at that time, so he had me text him with my name & phone number. When he called back we discussed the job & planned a date. was prompt, and personable. It took him about two hours to replace ...more the four lamps with the new motion activated lamps I had purchased. Two days later I noticed that one of the lamps was not working at all. I tried resetting it with the switch, and replacing the bulb, but nothing worked. I turned the circuit off until it could be looked at properly, in case it was faulty wiring. I called

, who said he was on a job and would call me back that evening. But he never called back. That weekend a friend took it down, and put it back up, and it has worked perfectly ever since. <br> </br><br> </br>I will never hire

again, because he did not bother to return my call regarding a problem with a job he had already been paid for. For $55 an hour, I think I can find a better handyman.

" ( and ) showed up exactly on time. determined what it was the guys would be doing, communicated the job to them, then went off to another job. He was replaced by who was the one to be installing the tile. I've one word for the ...more work

and

did - A-w-e-s-o-m-e! And not only is the work good, they had me in stitches just about all day, LOL! I will be calling them again come March for the next project I can't handle (insulation). I would definitely recommend them to others looking for tile work :)

" himself answered the evening I called (after regular work hours), asked me a few questions and agreed to come to the house the next day. He came the very next evening, as scheduled. He looked around and asked some more about the work I wanted done. He told me it was too big of a job for him since I had added more things to my ...more list, like remodel a few bathrooms, since the day before. This doesn't bother me, it is his business and he can take the work he wants, or not. I would be angry if he took on too big of a job and couldn't do it or had it drag on because it was too much for him.
The person I called two weeks ago came to the house late, smelling of alcohol and looked around and told me he would get back to me with an estimate in a few days. I haven't herad from him since. I wish he had been as professional as

and just told me he didn't want the job, or couldn't handle it.
Based on this experience I will call

when I hve smaller jobs in the future.

"Overall, of Millsboro is bad news. What started out being a nice, easy replacement of 2 doors on our De home has turned in to the nightmare of my life. Everything was going great until I complained and said I didn't like the work and pointed out a few things as I wrote above ...more He said I was slandering his name (at that time the conversation was only between

, my wife and I. I only wanted our work done right. Then all - he double hockey sticks - broke out. I still need work on my 2 doors he never finished."

" came when he said he would and went right to work. He was efficient and effective. He finished the work off very, very well. The work was neatly done, as was the cleanup."

"
did two jobs for us. first, he replaced a 6' stair railing with a longer railing--this involved buying a 16' railing, figuring out & cutting to the right length (13'), sanding, staining, and varnishing it, and finally installing it after removing the old one. all the work was done perfectly. no ...more no fuss. it looks great and we love it.the second job was to put 2-16' wood strips on the wall of the garage so we can hang tools on them. a

job for someone who knows how to do it, but as you all know, it can also be a big mess. well,

got exactly the right boards and put them up very securely at exactly the heights i wanted them.

, straightforward, well-done.We will continue to use him and hope to be able to get him as he is in steady demand. He answered our phone message promptly and came out to give an estimate within a week. He was very accurate about when his schedule allowed for our work, and he stuck to his schedule. an altogether positive experience.
"

"When I called and said I found his name on "Angie's List," he responded like he was almost sick of people calling him from Angie's List.

He came to give me an estimate - got lost, but otherwise on time. Did not want to install a new front door for me. Looked at several other jobs I had including fixing pealing joint ...more tape on ceiling and cracked tile on floors in an addition built on my house in 2007. Said he wouldn't do the work and that I needed a structural engineer. Not only was this guy very conceited about his abilities and knowledge, but I didn't think he really wanted to be bothered doing the more "difficult" jobs that I had.

PS: I paid for an engineer who said there was nothing structurally wrong with the addition on my house. "

" returned my call promptly (within a couple hours), and scheduled a visit within a couple days. He arrived at my home promptly, and went to work. He wasn't able to resolve the a/c issue (but referred me to a good HVAC contractor), and quickly resolved the garage door issue. He also handled 6 or 12 things on my "minor" ...more list. He was at my home for a bit over 2 hours, and only charged $100 (it was worth a lot more to me).

I will definitely use

again. He is very knowledgeable, versatile, and is a real good listener (not a common quality in men, especially those good at fixing things)."

"The contractors were great. They were on time and stayed until the job was finished, even though it was a bit longer than the time in the Big Deal. My only complaint is that they were difficult to get in touch with before the date of the appointment. "
