Local Carpentry Services in South Lyme, Connecticut

After reading the reviews on here about Mr. Handyman I had to write a review on behalf of the services my condo association has received from Mr. Handyman. I don't know what was going on 3-4 years ago but the business has changed clearly. Our association hired them to complete 3 jobs. The first job was to replace our mailbox that had been damaged. They gave a reasonable quote that matched the service being provided given today's economy. I never understood how some people expect skilled carpenters to give low ball quotes for labor and materials on their home projects. If you want to save money buy the materials and do the project yourself or pay a respectable wage to the skilled carpenter, just my opinion. They did a great job with the new mailbox we then hired them to soft wash our shingles, they were in rough shape and probably haven't been washed ever since installed which might be close to 10 years maybe more. James came out worked all day applying the solution to the shingles. We waited I believe 6 weeks according to the solution companies recommendation. Our shingles were better but not what we were hoping for, to be honest a miracle was the only thing saving these shingles. However, Cody (the owner) was always following up asking what we thought we said we wished for better results. Cody had James come back out and do another treatment free of charge! I was amazed meaning this company ate the cost of labor and supplies to ensure we were a happy customer. The shingles did look much better after that treatment. We then hired them for a third project a dumpster/recycling bin enclosure. From start to finish Cody worked with us on design and planning. We showed him photos of what we were looking for and he did his best to work with our price range and materials to achieve the look we were going for. You have to be realistic in the world of carpentry that not every Pinterest item will be a available and you may have to wait longer for materials they go out of stock or companies close that manufacture certain items, the cost of lumber etc also fluctuates. Things people seem to forget. We ran into an issue with permits and our town. Cody reached out to our town to help explain the project, and was willing to go the extra step to help us get this done. We needed to rework our original design Cody and James both sent back multiple drawings for us to look at that would work with our new parameters. Eventually James and another worker came out to work on this project they took one day from sun up to sun down. Completing the project. The enclosure looks fantastic. I can't say enough about the work ethic of Cody and his team. They are worth the hire for your home project.

Always skilled, courteous, helpful and professional.

I got my window screens replaced.The work was completed in a timely manner. Very pleased with the job. Cody and James are both professional.

James did an excellent job fixing several things at our house. He was friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely call Mr. Handyman again.

The work is done efficiently and everything is above board. I haven't yet had a negative experience with this outfit
