Steve Beam Handyman

Steve seems nice. But the night before the job he didn’t text me to confirm start time as he promised he would. That next morning I contacted him to ask if he was coming or not. He called then texted and said he was a day behind giving the reason of a sick co-​worker. This would have been absolutely NO problem, IF he had called me the night before the job to tell me this! His quote was decent, and others are pleased with his work, so if you try him, just insist on prompt and accurate communication. He apologized profusely, and even offered a steep discount, but I simply don’t have time for unreliable appointments.

I have yet to write a review on Unilocal but love the input and opinions of others. When I do write reviews, I’m VERY cautious as to my choice in words as I want to relay authentic and valid opinions that will be helpful to others. I contacted Steve for the first time to help with me with a broken dryer vent and to also help move my stackable washer and dryer back in place in my home, as it’s difficult to do because they are obviously heavy. I have been without my washer and dryer for a week. Ugh. I was so looking forward to Steve helping me AND my husband and I are in the market for a good reliable handyman. We own two homes and need the help on occasion. He called over an hour after our appointed time and really had no good excuse as to why he couldn’t make it. Plus, his day is too busy to meet with me later today. Wow. He claimed he lost my contact info even though we have been texting. Apparently he found my cell number though. Anyway, just beware. I’m very disappointed because he does have great reviews but situations like this certainly leave a bad impression.

We had a huge opening from our back yard to the alley that we needed a gate built for. Steve planned out the job, educated me on the build, and helped me envision the completed project to give me a better idea of the end product. After approving the design, he picked up all necessary materials and completed the job over the next couple days. He came in under budget and built a rock solid gate that we couldn’t be more satisfied with. Very down to Earth guy. Didn’t make me feel pressured or rushed and really took his time to help me understand the build to make sure I got what I wanted. Will definitely be working with him again in the future.

Steve did a fantastic job at a reasonable cost swapping out our dated ceiling fan with led recessed lights. We could not be happier and will definitely use him again.

We had some minor electrical work that I needed to get done prior to having my plaster walls refurbished. Steve was able to provide a very competitive bid after I described what I needed done and sent him some pictures via text. He arrived on time with an electrician in tow. Given the age of our house, they had to do some problem solving and my plan had to be adapted accordingly. Even so, they honored the original bid. Steve and Chris were courteous and professional, wrapped up the job in a timely manner and cleaned up after themselves. They also identified some issues that we’ll likely have to deal with down the road. I give Steve (and Chris!) my highest recommendation.

I recently knocked a toilet paper holder (and a sizable chunk of drywall) out of our downstairs bathroom; combined with needing to seal the plumbing around the sink, I went off in search of a handyman. Steve came right up on Unilocal and I contacted him the same day. Like others have said, the number of 5-​star reviews should tell you something. Steve is quick to respond, easy to schedule time with, does amazing work, charges very fair prices, and was a pleasure to work with. Anytime I need handywork done, you can be I’ll be hiring Steve.

I couldn’t believe all these 5 star reviews but Steve was AWESOME! I contacted him via text on a Wednesday about hanging three heavy items on my wall and he responded immediately and somehow squeezed me in for the next day in the morning. I sent him some pictures of the items to be hung and he promptly sent me a quote. He got stuck in horrible traffic behind an accident the next morning but promptly texted me to let me know he would be running late (obviously not his fault). When he got here he had help (so I didn’t have to help lift any heavy items) so after consulting me about what needed to be done and having a contract signed (he is very tech savvy which is convenient!) it didn’t take them very long to hang everything. It looks great! He even suggested I hang my mirror differently than I was going to, thankfully, since it looks much better there. And they were patient with me when I asked them to hold art work over a couch and send a picture to my husband to see if we wanted to hang the item there instead of where we were planning originally. They even vacuumed after they were done and padded my wood floor so it wouldn’t get scratched. I’m definitely going to ask him to do the barn door project I’ve been planning for the master bedroom since I was so happy with the results today. I would highly recommend him! He really is a 5 star kind of guy!

I feel lucky to have found Steve. He repaired my back door that was off-​kilter so I can lock it now. But since he was able to do that quickly and has a minimum fee, he asked if I had any other jobs that he could do while there. I did have a couple and he happily fixed them for no additional cost. That’s the mark of an honest man; pretty rare these days. Now I’ve set an appointment for him to install three external doors that Home Depot was supposed to do but failed miserably in the process. It’s no wonder that Steve is so sought after and his business is booming.

We had Steve seal up a doggie door on our house the previous owners had installed. He did a great job and are in the process of working with him on another job. I found him here on Unilocal with all his great reviews they speak volumes. He got the job done right and everything went as planned. I am handy, but also know my limitations. I will be calling him for the next «honey do» that is above my comfort level. I would HIGHLY recommend him.

The best. The sheer number of EXCELLENT reviews speaks volumes. Steve Beam is marvelous and attentive and very responsive. He’ll take extra steps to ensure the job, even very small ones, are done correctly. I would trust him to fix anything — he’s professional, kind, respectful and is in no way greedy. I recommend and commend Steve — I recommend him based on his excellence and I’d commend him based on his character and integrity. He’s a gem.

Steve did an amazing job helping us install a light in our kitchen. He showed up on time provided an estimate which was extremely reasonable and got right to work. Steve was quick, thorough and most importantly got the job done right. He even installed some extra anchor bolts at no extra cost to make sure everything would stay in place like it should.
Hats off to Steve, we will definitely continue using him and recommending to our friends and family for future jobs!

Steve is the man when it comes to handyman work around your house. His attention to detail, and wanting to do the job the RIGHT way, was very apparent. What I liked the most, is he took his time on a few projects I had, and he didn’t seem rushed at all. The work was quality, and he’s got a real talent for a Mr. Fix It. He’s definitely a guy I’ll be using again for any projects around the house– Thank you, Steve!

I hired Steve to work on a few small projects around my home. He was able to complete high quality work in a very efficient manner. I also appreciated his honesty and knowledge regarding the work that needed to be done. I would definitely hire him again.

I called Steve to hang 4 painting in an exact row, hang curtains, and hang another painting. I was nervous it would be too small of a job but he had no issue with it. I was able to be flexible that day so we texted a bit through the day as he got closer to and ETA. He was able to fulfill my request the same day. The row of paintings is impeccable. He must be borderline OCD because he measured everything perfectly. I would definitely recommend reaching out to him. Text is the best way for him to communicate as he does not have a secretary.

I called Steve to help with a couple of projects — a ceiling fan replacement and gutter cleaning. We did have to schedule a few weeks out, but the work he did was great and the price was reasonable. He stuck to his original estimate — actually giving a slight discount when the fan we provided didn’t quite work for the space — which was not any fault of his. He also agreed to come back the next week and install a different fan for us. I will call Steve again and recommend him for handyman work.

Steve just installed a wooden privacy fence for us in our backyard. Our experience was very positive. Although he is very busy and booked weeks in advance, the wait is worth it for his work. He is very nice, easy to get in touch with, provided a very competitive price, stuck to his original estimate, and got the work done in the time he told us it would be — he even stayed late on a Friday evening to finish the job. He offered us different pricing options for the fence pickets and even completed a few special requests for us without charging more. Overall, we are very pleased with his work and will be calling him for other household projects in the future.

Steve helped me replace a broken garbage disposal and install a light as I have a long list of projects to complete at my new condo. He came over a little later than expected, but also completed the work quickly and I am happy with the results. He even gave me a few tips on some work I was completing DIY in other rooms, although I should probably have just paid Steve to do that work as well given how reasonable his quotes were. I am only reluctant to recommend him because I selfishly don’t want his backlog to get longer, but would have no hesitation hiring him again (and have no doubt that I will be).

Patched a woodpecker hole in our siding, fixed a portion of gate that was hanging off the post, and built us a whole new gate. Did excellent work on everything! Very competitive pricing, good communication, knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely call again when we have other handyman work that needs to be done.

Apparently Steve is too busy to be reliable or responsive. I called him in the morning on 4÷8÷15. He informed me up front that he was booked out until 4÷28÷15, which was fine with our timeline, so we proceeded to discuss my project (a pet enclosure). He explained that he didn’t go to houses to provide estimates anymore & asked me to text him photos of the area ASAP so he could get a better sense of what I wanted. I did so before 8 AM but did not hear from him all day. I texted him on 4÷9÷15 to confirm that he got the texts, & he replied that he did but thought he needed to take a look in person. He suggested coming out at 8 AM on 4÷11÷15, to which I agreed. He didn’t show & did not respond to my text asking him if he was coming. I was really disappointed in his reliability given the other positive reviews I had read
UPDATE: Steve just called me. Apparently he overslept, kid had his phone, couldn’t find my contact info, etc. Accidents happen to everyone, but it certainly didn’t create a good first impression, & we’ll look for someone more professional.

I called Steve and and he met me at my home in Aurora. He communicates well and sent me the quote later that night, just as he said he would.
I hired him for the job to install and build a porch in front of my home. I was impressed by his knowledge of the scope of the job, permits, codes etc. He had an indept knowledge of the job and his price was fair. He completed it and I am very pleased.
He works clean.
Did the job on time.
I will call him again.
