Mr. Handyman of S. Orange/Westfield/Scotch Plains & Metuchen

I am very upset about the time and the cost charged. I requested for a very minor work which could have been completed within one hour. The handyman never presented the estimate before starting work. He was just working on the project very very slowly having unnecessary talk. It ended up taking more than 2.5 hours and charging us more than $ 300! Never used them again.

Service person arrived on time. He was professional and knowledgeable. He completed the job quickly and the pricing was fair. I would definitely use their services again.

After the plumber fixed my 1950’s bathroom pipes, there was a huge hole in my wall. This was no simple patch, because the wall was all concrete behind the tile, so a frame had to be built to attach wonder board and then new tiles. Did I mention, this was 2 days before Christmas?
Most contractors I called had no one to help until after the holidays. The number I got at the tile store for an independent tile guy never bothered calling me back. Mr. Handyman? Yeam they sent Dennis over the very next day. We went to Home Depot, got the supplies, and he busted his ass for the next 4 hours.
The job looks great, the work was done quickly, and the price was outstanding. These guys can really help you out in a jam.

Quick response to my inquiries and quick repair. Only 2 days from initial contact to completion.
Great job. Needed work outdoors and it was completed during a rain storm. Can’t get much better service then that!

Since writing my «4 ½ star» Unilocal review in May, I’ve recommended Mr. Handyman to at least three neighbors and two Unilocalers. The jury is unanimous, Mr. Handyman is an exceptional asset to the community. To return the props, no, I’m not «Steve G.» from Westfield, but I agree with every word he’s written.
Back in May I deducted a «half-​star» only because the work done by Mr. Handyman wasn’t a true challenge; it was performed flawlessly, professionally and by a company with whom I’d use again in a heartbeat. We have a disabled neighbor who I help out when I can, and during this past week he brought a 4 – 5 item list of the repairs I couldn’t do to Mr. Handyman; on my recommendation. My neighbor is still raving about how competently, quickly and professionally they tended to his list. The work was primarily electrical, including the installation of some disabilities access electronics, but did include some masonry and indoor dryer vent repair. The technician admitted to having never seen some of these devices previously, but properly installed them with no delay. Although masonry wasn’t his strong suit, a perfect concrete patch was done, down to the detail of simulating the texture of the surrounding area.
Both my neighbor and I are impressed beyond words with the Mr. Handyman experience, and I have no hesitation about upgrading my Unilocal review to five-​stars. Thank you!

It’s actually very simple. I called. They showed up, examined the problem, and repaired it on schedule and within estimated costs. Kudos. I will use their services again in the future.

After finding Mr. Handyman, I’ve completed 4 projects with them. I started with a pretty major repair to some damaged outside wood that had to be repaired before the Winter. That went very well, so I created a long list of items I hadn’t been able to get to. They came back and professionally and expeditiously knocked off several challenges — refinishing some damaged stairs, bathroom drywall repair, replacement of two complex windows, etc.
My most recent job with them was a very big one. Half of my basement was damaged by water in Hurricane Sandy and I had been waiting to repair it because I wanted to gut the whole thing and rebuild it from the walls in. The job involved removing a bunch of paneling down to the cinder blocks, removing a hanging ceiling, adjusting a laundry area to a smaller footprint, moving ducts and pipes to accommodate the new design, putting in sheet rock walls and ceiling, installing new lights and breakers, redoing the floor, and a myriad of other details plus painting. It was a big job I had quoted with contractors before, but hadn’t gotten around doing.
As I said I had A+ experience with Mr. Handyman, but I was worried that this job was a much bigger job than typical. I’m happy to say the job was very smooth, of high quality, and exceeded my expectations. Bruce meticulously quoted the job and the specs. Paul — the lead tech — along with Bruce and the crew, came up with creative ideas to accommodate some access panels, relocate some ducts and pipes, and solve a tricky lighting problem. The job was quoted at 8 days and came in at 8 days. There was very good communication and no surprises. A final punch list of nit picking details was handled smoothly. I recommend them without reservation.

Fair price, quick estimate, on-​site in short order, on time, quick completion, beautiful craftsmanship. Very happy and will call them again for other future needs.

These guys are hands-​down the best at what they do and they do exactly what they say their going to do
They arrive on time like they said they would and the technicians were employees of the company so they didn’t send anything out. These guys even went so far as to guarantee all of their work. I mean who does stuff like that today. I will definitely use them again

Mr. handyman did a phenomenal job fixing my fence. They responded to me quickly and professionally. They were willing to do a job that other companies refuse to take because it was too small. I would recommend them to anyone and plan on using them again in the future!
