Local Handyman Services in Far Hills, New Jersey

I had up until now been having the gutters on two adjacent family homes cleaned by a well-known gutter cleaning service. Each time they came, they followed up with calls that there were "major problems" with the gutters at both homes, and repairs must be done or "major damage to the home could result." When pressed, the company rep on the phone stated that the repairs for the two houses would be $5,000 or more each. My husband and I can not climb up on the roof to check out these problems (and we sure weren't going to just take THEIR word for it) so I decided it was time for a second opinion. I had seen Mr. Handyman trucks in the area, and after checking them on Angie's List, decided to give them a call. I told Dave the manager that I just wanted to have the gutters cleaned. Dave told me this would be done, and as part of their regular service, the gutters, roof and chimney would be checked. We set a date and time, and a very nice man named Mike showed up (on time). Mike thoroughly cleaned the gutters on both homes, bagging the debris, and offering to take it away with him. He was up on the roofs over two hours. Afterward, he came down and went over his findings: although there were minor areas of concern, the gutters did NOT have to be replaced or repaired, nor major work required. He didn't pressure me to set up a "regular scheduled gutter cleaning" either. The cost for the service was $300 plus tax, which is more than the previous gutter cleaning company charged, but those workers also zipped through the cleaning in less than half an hour, and the "inspections" (that produced the telephoned warnings of major catastrophe) are now highly suspect. If Mike had come up with the same issues that the previous gutter company had pointed out, I would have had to acknowledge that there really might be problems, and how was I going to come up with the money to repair them!. I can not tell you how relieved I was after Mike's report. Mr. Handyman really has an extensive list of services, and based on my positive experience, I am going to call them today about some post-hurricane yard work.

I can't say enough about Mr. Handyman. They updated two of our tenents bathrooms and did a full renovation on our main bathroom. The updates look great and the full renovation looks Amazing. The team is awesome and very professional from Noel, who coordinated the process from start to finish, Elena who answered all of our calls with timely responses, Patrick, a great apprentice to the contracters, Steve, a contractor who handled our electrical and plumbing work with ease and efficiency and last but certainly not least Jon. Jon was our primary contractor who did all of the detailed work that made these projects a success. He bought his expertise, kindness and attention to detail. They always cleanup and leave your home just as it was before they arrived and they stayed on schedule. Plus they all loved my dog. If you are looking for experts this is the team for you.

Showed up on time. Went to the store to get needed materials. Performed the job. Cleaned up thoroughly.

I write this review on behalf of James, the technician who came to my home each time and did amazing work. He seems to be quite accomplished at handling home tasks in an efficient manner. He is careful, considerate and willing to go the extra mile to accommodate your requests. I will always ask for James when I call in for a handyman, because I know first hand the quality of his work.

Well, the job was executed expeditiously with a smile!!!
