Handy Homes called almost immediately after I submitted for a quote on the app. The tech showed up at the time arranged with all necessary tools and completed the task in under the amount of time quoted. Excellent overall experience!

Job Description: Garage Ceiling Racks (2) and 1 piece of furniture that was moved. Scope of the job was never completed, meaning a full review at the beginning of the job of what could possibly be needed in order to complete the job successfully and efficiently. It was clear after handy homes built the ceiling racks in 3 hours time that this was not a job for 1 handyman. I was advised after day 1 that another handyman would come and help complete the job with him. This would double the cost of the job since you pay per hour per handyman. Day 2, another 3-4 hours of work, now 2 guys working , attempting installation without any mention of issues that arose during the process. The handy homes rep mentioned he forgot to tell me, but somehow managed to tell me twice during the job to consider signing up for your monthly membership. I also mentioned to the handy homes rep which way my beams ran in the garage to insure a smoother installation but somehow they mentioned they were difficult to find. As a customer with all this going on, all I’m thinking about is the hourly rate and how my small storage job is turning into a larger expense since this was my first experience hiring a handyman service. Now, thinking that everything has been completed since thats what I’ve been told when handy homes left my home, I notice the broken bolts and the joist screw hanging out of my ceiling, crooked. In my opinion the backs were broken from the torque of the drill used to build them, not a manufacturer error. Regardless, only handy homes knows what happened and had to come back to secure them. In our brand new house, seeing a joist screw hanging out of our ceiling on an angle doesn’t give anyone comfort. Cosmetically, it looks terrible but safety is my priority and handy homes installed a second joist bolt and verbally assured it was safe. As a business owner myself also in the service industry, it’s comforting to reach out regarding an issue and get a prompt response back with an action plan. I thanked Kerry for that. I also thanked Kerry for sending back a handy homes rep back at no cost. As feedback, I would say all of this could have been avoided if a true scope of the job was completed and when issues came up, we addressed them in the moment instead of after they occurred. With this being my first impression using this service I would have appreciated being notified in the moment.

Details: 2 - 5 hours (A few different projects) • Installation • Assembly • Garage • Shelving • Wall hangings • Furniture • Home

Handy Homes's reply

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing us to install your two large 8-foot by 4-foot Overhead GearLoft garage storage racks. We're delighted to hear that our team safely mounted and secured them to your garage ceiling joists to your satisfaction. We only brought in the second person on the second day to mount the large heavy racks to the ceiling, and to accommodate your request to also move a 70-pound cabinet up two flights of stairs. We look forward to serving you again and exceeding your expectations. -Handy Homes
