Andy On Call

I called them at what was apparently peak contractor season (because I couldn’t seem to get a call back from anyone) and they were very responsive, calling me back that same day. They were able to get out for an estimate two days later and quoted a variety of odd jobs I needed done.
I can’t say it’s cheap, but I am willing to pay for a quality job that I don’t want to do myself. The rep was obviously very knowledgeable and informative. They quote for labor only and don’t charge more than cost for parts. My experience was a positive one and I’ll be calling them again when I need something else done.

I responded to an advertisement, called to get an estimate for a job and someone came over to figure out an estimate. I then waited two weeks to get an estimated cost for the job but no one called me. I had to call them because no one at Andy on Call called me. I was again told that I would be called back with the quote and it has been 2 ½ months and I still haven’t heard anything. If you don’t want my business, do not send out flyers and don’t waste my time.

This probably sounds lame but we needed a microwave installed. It was the over the stove kind and it required tools we don’t have and there was complication getting the old mounting plate off so we decided to get a handyman who wouldn’t mind a relatively small job. The guy we used to call for stuff like this died last year so we went with a service.
The people at Andy on call were really on the ball about communicating with us, the bad weather made them unable to make their original appointment and they seemed more upset about it than I was and it was easy to reschedule. When they did come they were a bit early and called to make sure that was okay– and recently I was at a friends when some contractors showed up before se had specifically told them she would be ready and they were really cranky about it, so I appreciated their respect for my time.
It cost more than I wanted ($ 175) but after two months with no microwave I didn’t let the estimate get me down (esp when I realize the whole point is that this would be time, labor, and tool intensive to do ourselves) and it did take the guy a few hours.
I gave them one star less because the handyman who came wasn’t very friendly or communicative which made me a little nervous about how well he understood my concerns but he did the job, and I would consider using them again and would recommend to friends needing odd jobs.
