  EDDIE MAC'S HOME IMPROVEMENT LLC

  I would not recommend this guy to even my worst enemy. He questioned every design aspect my husband and I chose and even went as far as making us lay out our tile because he didn't think our patterned tile would look good if there wasn't a border around it. He argued with me about putting white grout on the floor. And he got extremely defensive when my husband was asking why it we went so far over the timeframe it was supposed to be finished. Mind you, we are still waiting on our shower door. He demanded in a text message to me (see picture) we pay him the remainder of the payment or else he wouldn't fulfill his contractual obligations. He also told my husband he is going to take us to court and threatened to put a lien on our house when my husband said we would pay him the remainder once our bathroom is completed to the contract terms. The things that still needed to be completed per the contract when he threatened were the following: -Counter top installed and sink plumbed - Radiator hooked up -Mirror, towel bars and toilet paper holdler - Shower door; although he argues that the shower door is NOT part of the original contract, which is ludicrous The things that were not done per the contract AFTER he received final payment were: - Mirror, towel bars & toilet paper holder - Shower door (again, me arguing that the shower door is part of customer supplied items mentioned in the contract) We never refused to pay this guy, we always paid at the deadlines given per the contract. He just can't handle his customers, who pay a lot of money, asking him questions on why it's taking him so long. His tile work is sub par at best (see pictures). When I pointed that out to him his response was "Well, I waterproofed the shower." Again, another defense when his work was questioned. To add insult to injury, the subcontractors that did our plumbing are apparently not allowed to work on our other bathroom or accept any other job in our house. Be warned, this guy is a hot head with a temperament of a 3 year old.

  Tebou Carpentry & Woodworking

  Repairs went great, great communication about status and timing of work done! They took great care of my home and are trustworthy people. They cleaned up well after the jobs and I couldn't even tell they were there. Kandice kept us in the loop throughout the entire process and Josh was great, he offered insight when requested and was very flexible with how we wanted the project done and what we needed from him. I would compare it to having a very qualified friend do the work because they are the type of people who you can trust and want a long standing relationship with their customers.

  H.C. Services

  Alfred did a fantastic job installing everything on our newly-purchased home.  He even helped to get me into the house when I found that the key that had been given to us at our closing was only for the garage door -- I was completely locked out of the house at the time that he arrived!  He did a great job of removing the proper door knobs to allow us to get in, without damaging the door itself, and installing all the new door knobs and locks so I can be assured that I won't be locked out again.  We even found that Home Depot had lost a spring from one of the new padlocks when I had them re-key all the locksets in-store, but he came out again free-of-charge and fixed it by cutting a small spring from a lighter and re-purposing it as the spring in the padlock.  Very impressive!  
  I would certainly use Alfred again for any handyman projects that come up.  He did a great job, was very good about responding to text messages, and was friendly and punctual.

  H.C. Services

  Once we paid for his services, Alfred called immediately to find out times that we were available for him to come over.  We had several dates in mind, and he accommodated these time periods without hesitation.  He was prompt, very friendly, and went immediately to work.  Some of our jobs took extra time, and his fee was very reasonable.  He was very neat and left the areas he worked in cleaner than when he arrived.  Every job he did for us was an A+ in terms of quality.  I would not hesitate to hire Alfred in the future.  he is a hard worker, and is willing to tackle any job.  Excellent person, and handyman!!!
  
  
  
  UPDATE:  After writing this review, we have since hired Alfred several more times to perform work in our house: installing a microwave, painting part of a basement, etc.  He is able to do anything we ask of him, and his work is excellent.  We admire that he works very hard and meticulously.  As a result of the excellent work Alfred performs, we have decided to hire him for any job we need in the future.  You will not be disappointed hiring this kind and hard working man!

  A.T.E. Painting LLC

  Anrou's is thorough, sets high standards for his crew and.job prep. This is a new contractor for us and as with anything, time will tell how long the paint lasts before needing a redo. The crew was quiet, arrived on time, worked diligently and checked up after completion for the short punch list which they completed in a few days.

  CJ's Finish Carpentry

  I never write reviews but this went so poorly I felt compelled to do so... A year later, I am still dealing with the repercussions of his lousy job. He trimmed cabinets to allow for new appliances to go in and his work was very sloppy.. rough edges, crooked edges and he would say he was done and when I questioned the work, he had an excuse that "oh yeah.. I wasn't done.. I didn't have the right tool with me.." He installed my new appliances, his partner dropped the oven door (I was in the room to watch him to do it), clearly scratched it and then he later told me that it came like that... I am still dealing with the repercussions of the faulty install job on the appliances, when I questioned the stove top not functioning properly, he challenged me and said that I was wrong as well as the rep from the manufacturer. 
  He made a new cabinet for me for a microwave... it took over 6 weeks for him to build and when he arrived with it... the color was completely off, the specs were off and then charged me for the rework... 
  Not once did I receive a formal estimate despite several times asking and he would go weeks without returning to finish the job, telling me that he originally said he was going to "squeeze me in..." which was never the case and if it were.... just responding to calls or emails would have been helpful to set expectations. 
  He is a  mediocre Jack of all Trades, Master of None. I wish I were writing a glowing review.

  Twiss Building Repair & Remodeling

  This was a complete nightmare from start to finish! They were very hard to get a hold of. When I finally got in touch with them they were more than 2 hours late! Then they took 5 hours to do a job that shouldn't have taken 3. They never got around to installing the door they agreed to do either. I bought an outlet and wire opening kit for behind the tv. It turned out that it was very difficult to hide the item I bought behind the tv since our mount was very large. So instead of telling me this (I explicitly said I didn't want the outlet showing...obviously!) they hung it up anyway with the outlet complertely visible. The only fix we could do was lower the tv to the farthest setting on the mount and now we can se the top of the mount and will have to cut it. I trust in my contractors to tell me if something I bought is not the best for the job. This would have been a simple fix. Now we have to hack away at our brand new tv mount and we have screws protruding from the wall that are luckily behind the TV and not visible. One of the guy (I believe his name is Dan) was very rude. Lots of mumbling under his breath about Angies list and always getting screwed etc. etc. Very unprofessional. They obviously did not know what they were doing even though they advertise this as one of the handyman services they provide! I was then asked to pay for their extra time even though it took so long and completely screwed up my day (the day before our holiday party no less!) all because of their incompetence. All the while he is complaining to me that these deals through Angies list are horrible for him, he makes no money, they take a fee...blah blah. Not the consumers problem!!

  Mr Handyman of South Essex County

  tI was happy with the work that was done in 1 hour.  Unfortunately, my work was scheduled to be done at 8am and the technician who was supposed to come to my house called in sick at 8am and they were not able to get another person to come to my home until ~12:30pm which caused me to need to wait around until they told me at 11:50 that someone would be at home within 30 minutes. Despite this, I would definitely use them again.

  EDDIE MAC'S HOME IMPROVEMENT LLC

  I found this local handyman service through the List. They came the day after I called, at my convenience.
  They took care of the problem for a very reasonable fee, were pleasant and seemed well-informed about their work.
  I will definitely use them again.

  JL Remodeling

  He's done some work for me in the past and always does good work. He usually does the work himself. I wouldn't hesitate to call him for anything of a small nature. He is a very detail oriented person. He always returns my calls in a timely basis.
