Local Handyman Services in Bridgeport, Connecticut

As the weather got colder, it was apparent that our house was losing heat left and right. We called Mr. Handyman and asked for an energy audit. Skip and Michelle immediately got back in touch with me, and Michelle took us through the process. After the audit, she pointed out many things about our place that we just had no idea about (we had just bought our place and the inspection person only pointed out things that he could see, not necessarily everything about the house). They gave us a detailed proposal with itemized prices. Basically, we had to insulate our kitchen completely (3 walls, and subfloor), because it was a new addition, and had no insulation whatsoever. In addition, we had to put down a whole new insulation in our attic, build an attic box, and perform other tasks. We were immediately comfortable with their level of service and contact. We asked them to begin the work. They came when they were supposed to. They cleaned up after themselves. When we had small issues with this or that, they got back to us within a day, and fixed the issues within two days. Overall, the quality was excellent, the price was fair and the responsiveness and attention to detail was excellent. The question is, why can't every service provider be like Mr. Handyman? Honestly, moving to New Canaan, I am severely underwhelmed by the responsiveness and attention to detail from many, many other service providers (especially the electricians and some of the landscaping companies). I wish Mr. Handyman did more things, because then I wouldn't have to call anyone else when I need to get things done.

Very professional. Work in teams of two. They are willing to fill in with other odd jobs while they are there. Arrived promptly, quickly assessed a way to reconstruct the railing. The old one was overly ornate and had extensive trim that was rotted. I did not want to recreate the previous homeowner's design and I did not want to disturb the anchors in the tar roof (a previous contractor started mentioning "maybe replacing the roof" which was in perfect shape). They quickly and intelligently devised a design, estimated needed materials and, while one worker started ripping out the old wood, the other went to pick up materials. NOTE: If you have other small jobs, they will do them in the same time block and pick up those materials at the same time. In my case, the back floodlight and annoying toilet. I really liked that they could handle all these things with equal aplomp. Carpentry, masonry, electrical, plumbing. They each had 30 years' experience, worked well together, completed the work efficiently. It did take a second visit to complete, but that was because of the job size. The over-the-phone estimating isn't totally accurate, but I feel that's understandable. I felt the price was very fair. They clean up and haul everything away and are pleasant to an extreme–Mike always has a smile. They were also able to schedule the work start on a Saturday–which fit my schedule. After that, I trusted them and handed over a key. I will snap a picture and attach when I get a chance. I will definitely use them again.

Replace mailbox and post. Rafael was on time, courteous, and did a fine job, just as requested.

Got the jobs done — very flexible with my scheduling needs as well.

Mr. Allen, your Community Representative was very knowledgeable, extremely professional and customer-oriented. Additionally, your office staff was very helpful, especially Heather, whom I had dealt with on several occasions. The field guys/installers and Justin your Inspector exhibited their professionalism as well. As a satisfied customer, I will always recommend your company (Mr. Handyman) to my neighbors, friends, families, etc. Keep up the great community outreach and development. Thanks again for providing world-class services! Erica Bennett
