  Mr Handyman of Richmond

  I put in two requests-for-quote on Tuesday 15 January. Within hours, Mr. Handyman of Richmond responded to my requests--and to this date the other two have not. The description by the telephone receptionist impressed me from the beginning: one company, not a contractor with subcontractors, recognizable to any homeowner and recognized in the industry. I accepted the quote, because frankly I was in a hurry to get the job done. The technician did the first job within hours. This included driving out to buy new doorknobs and deadbolts, plus a key-lockable and re-key-able front-door latch and deadbolt set. At the end of the job I had doorknobs that would stay on without coming off in my hand (as the originals did--twice), and four doors all on the same key. I also had a new deadbolt on the garage door and a front door that I could double lock. While he was here I asked him to see to a seam that had opened in some drywall, and remounting a toilet paper dispenser in a bathroom. The second job he finished in about five minutes; the first he agreed to come back for. On the second day he called his office to have them call me--this because I was too far away to hear him knock. So when I let him in, I suggested now would be a good time to install a wireless door chime and ringer set, and to repair a front-porch fixture I had never been able to unscrew. Note: I suggested these extra jobs; he did not push them on me. Except for my having to make two trips to a nearby hardware store to buy some batteries, he did all the work in record time. And because one of these jobs required letting some drywall mud dry before sanding, he was able to complete all these jobs at very little extra charge--because his company charges by the man-hour and materials, whatever the job happens to be. By using his time effectively and efficiently, I saved. The results are everything I could ask for, and getting all these jobs done is a special boon, particularly since I'm planning a long road trip. If I run across any other little thing that needs doing, I'll definitely call Mr. Handyman of Richmond first. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone having a little project.

  Looney's Tile & Grout

  Arrived right on time, was professional and courteous, and very knowledgeable. He walked me through the work as he performed the fix, explained exactly what the problem was, and was very quick (he even patiently waited as I took about 3 work calls and then spilled the shop vac he needed everywhere lol). Above and beyond service; I would highly recommend this company and would definitely use again.

  SJ & Sons Contracting

  I was very pleased with the job. Mr. Chisholm was prompt and courteous, did a good job and cleaned up after himself when the job was done (I've had other contractors that left me a mess to clean up). I will be glad to work with him again.

  Brendan Julian Home Repair & Maintenance

  I had an excellent experience with Mr. Julian. He replied to my Angie's List request  quickly and kept in touch as needed. In fact, he went "over and above" as far as availability. When he learned I'd have to take off work if he came on a weekday, he immediately offered to come out on a Saturday; I was very pleased that he was willing to do so!
  He arrived right on time and worked steadily, apprising me of his progress and helping me figure out measurements for some mini-blinds (I'd measured incorrectly!). He was friendly but professional during his time here. I found his price to be very reasonable for the work done. I need a couple of more things done this summer, and am already planning for him to come back and work on those. I recommend Mr. Julian very highly.

  Hawks Renovations LLC

  Hawks was very responsive from the initial inquiry to give an estimate all the way through the completion of the job.  At the outset, they provided an itemized estimate along with a sketch of what the renovation would look look like.  The price was reasonable in comparison to other estimates and Hawks was more responsive than any other provider we tried.  Hawks was willing to work with us to identify areas where we could cut costs a bit to stay within our budget.  For example, instead of installing a hinged glass shower door, we opted for a glass panel wall without a hinged door, which saved abut $500.  They were also willing to work with us to make sure all of our needs were met.  For example, we wanted dual shower heads in our shower, but the only way to put in 2 was to put one on an outside wall.  Hawks guaranteed they would put in extra insulation to prevent the outside wall placement from being a problem.  It must be working since we haven't  had a frozen pipe even with the below zero temperatures we had a few nights this winter.  
  The Hawks team showed up to start work exactly when promised.  The demolition took about 5 days to completely gut the bathroom including removal of the old shower, vanity, huge soaking tub, floor, etc.  The renovation involved relocating the shower and vanity to different locations; thus, plumbing and rewiring electrical was involved.  Hawks designed a custom tile shower to meet our specifications and recommended a bath design shop to work with for the design of the new vanity.  Installation of the new shower, vanity, and floor took several weeks, but the finished product is beautiful.  The tiling in the shower is beautifully done.  
  As is the case with any job, not everything goes completely as planned.  For example, in our case, we had planned to install vanity lighting along side our dual vanity mirrors.  It turned out that the lighting did not quite fit in the space available due to the positioning of wall support beams and window framing.  As a result, the Hawks team ended up rewiring the electrical in that wall a couple of times to get it just right for above the mirror lighting.  They were very accommodating with all changes of this nature.  
  All in all, the finished product is beautiful.  Eight months later, everything still looks brand new.  Hawks is very easy to work with and their work is very high quality. I highly recommend them.

  Commonwealth Renovations

  I was completely pleased with the work.  Robert was meticulous with the details in making sure the job was done to exceed my expectations.  I have the most beautiful backsplash in the world, and he clearly took great pride in making sure his workmanship was top notch.  As for responsiveness, it was clear that their workload is full, but I always got a return call in a timely manner and was always treated with politeness and respect.  The owner, JB, is extremely personable and very down to earth.  In addition, I received the benefit of helpful advice on what other jobs might need to be done and how to prioritize my next repair and improvement projects.  It did take a tad longer for the work to be completed than we had originally anticipated, but I know this had much more to do with attention to quality than to any lack of interest or concern about my project.  And I felt the pricing was absolutely reasonable.  I really felt like my job mattered, and because this is not always the case when hiring a contractor, I appreciated that.

  Fighter Pilot Home Inspection & Repair

  Do to an addition that was built years before we purchased the house, We found the addition was not built as well as we would have liked, so FPHI had to do a lot of extra work to ensure the job was done properly.

  Tonys Heating & Air Appliance Repair & Handyman

  It went very well, Tony was personable and professional. Regrettably, the problem was beyond repair at this time. But that was not from any lack of trying on Tony's part.  He investigated and ran every diagnostic he could think of to fix the problem, and in the end we had to conclude that it was a defective part that neither of us had counted on. 
  I was a little disappointed that the service call cost me additional money beyond the Big Deal.  Here again, though the fault is my own. I did not communicate my objectives to him at the beginning, which were basically to find out what the issue was quickly, fix it if it could be done cheaply, or replace the stove if not.  All I said was basically "there it is, please fix it," which he did his utmost to do. 
  I would use Tony's services again - he was focused and did not use "my" time to do anything other than work, including going to the restroom!

  Trogdon Enterprises

  Dave was very punctual and provided good service from start to finish. He explained what he was doing, and made sure the lock worked before moving on to the window. Both are now working great! He also made sure I was happy with the repair and cleaned up completely when finished.

  Bob was flexible, coming to the house when it was convenient for me.  He completed the work quickly and did a good job.  He was conscientious, making sure that the job done was satisfactory.
