Local Door Repair and Installation Services in Clark, New Jersey

It all started with a storm door in need of repair and a subscription to Angie's List I received as a Christmas present. My very first call to Mr. Handyman was answered, I believe on the 1st ring, by Anne. A VERY good beginning and 1st impression. She voluntarily explained their employee vetting process without me having to ask…..a clear sign to me that this employer is proud of the employees and their skills. I was able to schedule Mr. Landis at a mutually convenient time to repair the storm door. He was a joy. Prompt, personable, skilled, quickly diagnosing the problem, and thorough in every way. During my initial conversation with Anne, I mentioned I had other items needing attention. She recommended I make a list and do a walk through while Mr. Landis was here which worked out perfectly. I e-mailed Anne the list; we e-mailed back and forth a time or 2, but when I had more questions unsuited to e-mail, she graciously agreed to make a phone appointment with me @ 7:30 one morning before I had to start seeing patients… again.. for me, it worked out perfectly and all my questions that could be answered @ that time were handled. Based on the pricing rates contained on the original invoice, which by the way was meticulous, we were very, very close in our cost estimates. Because of my work, I need long lead time to be away from my Clinic and arrange coverage. This first encounter was in Mid-March and I was able to schedule the additional work without difficulty for 2 consecutive days in the beginning of May. The day arrived after a confirmation phone call from Bruce, and so did Michael and Anne.. not only promptly, but early. We did a quick walk-through and they tackled Day 1. They brought a stunning work ethic not often seen these days; self-directed, internally driven, collegial and collaborative; truly mature, experienced and skilled professionals. My first priority was the dining room and as it turned out, it was "bigger than a breadbox" with much more extensive damage from birds nesting under the window a/c unit. Long story short… needed a new a/c unit, new sill, a new window, AND a creative solution to keep out more "nesters". They could have just 'told me that" and left it, but no… not only did we use my iPad to go on line to find the proper size unit recommended in Consumer Reports + the closest location for me to get it, but they also made several calls to find a vendor for the new (not "off the shelf") window, ordered it for me, had it delivered to them, and scheduled a 3rd day for installation. Let me give you another example….the stairway down the basement. I had a "small repair" to the ceiling listed; Anne took one look @ it and said "Oh… this needs to be fixed…" and so not only did she "fix" the ceiling, but stripped the tape from the drywall, scraped, re-taped and spackled it, but after it was dry and before she sanded it, she completely taped off the bottom of the stairs with floor to ceiling plastic drop cloths to protect the clothes stored there and put on 2 coats of paint! Day 2 proceeded apace + a bit more than the 8 hours for each of them. Did I mention that not one single moment of those days was wasted? Tasks were handled concurrently; there was no "disappearing" from the house…pretty much everything they expected to need was brought with them and at hand… no "oops…I have to go out to the truck." They were completely focused, disciplined, diligent multi-taskers and personally delightful to have in my home. Clean-up? meticulous; not a paint drop, not a wood chip; all the trash carefully bagged and taken outside for pick-up and after they vacuumed up the last speck, I'd be willing to say it was cleaner than when they arrived! Day 3 was a week later, again preceded by a confirmation call that the window was in and Mr. Landis would be coming the following morning. Same smooth, expert performance; old window OUT; new window IN including custom cut sill and fitting like a glove; old a/c OUT; new unit in, caulked, pitched perfectly, seams sealed and taped…no more BIRDS! and just in time for those 4, 90+ degree days we had. I could go on, but am running out of superlatives. I've shared my experiences of course, with family and friends, e-mailed fotos of before and after, and snail-mailed the "checklist" of available services not only to others here in NJ, but to Houston, LA and Seattle… even with my patients when they've asked "So how did it go???" This experience was like watching 2 executive chefs, working in concert, seamlessly preparing an elaborate, multicourse meal and having each offering come to the table perfectly prepared, exquisitely plated and ALL AT THE RIGHT TIME! It was amazing…………… Just a hint… they are VERY organized and so I'm glad I tried to be as well; made a list, did the walk-through, asked questions, planned ahead, elicited their recommendations and had purchased all the supplies I could to make the work go as smoothly and efficiently as possible.

the entire staff /team at Mr.Handyman is wonderful. Brian and Noel did a fantastic job putting my basement back together- guiding and making suggestions along the way,topnotch service, professional. and RELIABLE! always on time- will definitely use them again for future home projects

He is wonderful. He discussed what he was going to do. He also gave us the price range.

From the initial visit to provide the first estimate, until the end of this long project, the company was very professional. The technicians provided a daily summary of what work was done, and what work remained to be done for each segment of the entire project. The technicians were flexible to adjustments in the goals of the segments of the overall project. They cleaned up at the end of each day; so, I never had board my cats or worry about them getting exposed to anything toxic. There were never any surprises about what the costs were and they provided excellent references to local stores that provided discounts for purchasing supplies in bulk (e.g., doors and paint). The workmanship was excellent! The entire project went over 6 months, as I needed breaks for a vacation, two deaths in the family and some work uncertainties. The owners were patient and kept in regular contact with me. They made periodic visits to ensure that I was always satisfied with the work. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and I will consider them for future projects.
