Mr. Handyman of Rancho Cucamonga

This company is only handy at ripping people off. Their CA license # is 807 495. I called Mr. handyman and requested a quote for installation of drywall in my kitchen, laundry room, & living room. A contractor came out and gave me an estimate for approximately $ 1,658.00 and told me the work could be completed in two days. Since everything seemed to be legit, I proceeded to let the contractor take measurements and pick out a date to have the work completed. I paid the contractor $ 500.00 to the get the supplies and deliver them to my home. When he returned on the date to complete the job; he said it will take him two days to complete the work. He started to cut the dry wall to the size that it needed to be and realizes that his measurements were not correct when trying to place them up. So upon bringing this to my attention he tells me that the measurements are a little off and that there will be a small gap in the drywall but not to worry because it will pass inspection. I was not okay with this and told him that he would need to purchase new sheets of drywall and do it correctly, he agreed and said that he would do it the following week. Two weeks went by and he never contacted me back. I tried calling him and the company Mr. HandyMan but no one would return my calls. After calling 10 times in a row and leaving 5 voice messages in one day; Mr. Handyman finally answered the phone and I spoke with someone by the name of Andrew. I explained my situation to him and he said that they would resolve the issue and return my call as soon as they can. IT’S BEEN OVER A MONTH !! & I still have not received a call back from the company and I have left countless messages to speak with a manager, supervisor, or even a call back from anyone. I bet if i left a message saying that i needed to hire someone for a job they would call me back & try & rip me off again. Not only did i loss $ 500 and gain an abundance amount of stress but I also had to buy new material and dispose of the material the con man Mr. HandyMan sent over.

I called Mr. handyman and requested an estimate for some drywall work in my kitchen, hallway and downstairs bathroom. upon arrival they gave me an estimate for approximately $ 1000 and told me the work could be completed in one day. I made an appointment to have the work done the following week. After the arrival, the worker went to the get the supplies and when he returned, he said it will take him two days to complete the work. I said OK and then as he’s walking out the door he advised me that the price would be double and that he had miss calculated the original estimate. please make sure that you watch what you’re doing keep all your paperwork. I happen to photograph the original estimate and he tried to take it and make alterations to it please don’t use this company. Please excuse any typos I’m just severely frustrated

I needed to replace a severely leaking faucet in my half bath, so I called Mr. Handyman to get a price quote. I was told to replace a bathroom faucet would be about $ 125 ($ 85 for one hour of labor and $ 39.95 for service call).
There was some last minute changes in the scheduling, but since it allowed for my sink to get fixed sooner, I have no complaint on that point.
The reason for my low rating is the shock I received when the repairman changed the quote from the original $ 125 to $ 225. When I asked why the extra $ 100, I was informed that was just what the job was going to cost. Thats it. I told him what I was quoted on the phone and asked that he call the office to clarify. He refused. I really felt like he was telling me it was a take it or leave it kind of situation. I signed the contract because I desperately needed this repair, so I could turn the water back on to my house.
However, I really felt like I was being taken advantage of, so before he started the work, I called the Mr. Handyman office again and confirmed the quote. I told her the price I was being charged and requested an explanation for the huge increase. She couldn’t give me one and asked to speak to the worker. I took my phone outside to him and let them talk. He stated that the expense was justified because he planned to cut off my old faucet and that there were two of them there for the job. Why they thought I needed two workers, when one could barely fit in my tiny water closet is beyond me, but that was his reasoning.
In the end, he grudgingly agreed to do the work for the price quoted and was in and out in exactly 32 minutes. The work looks good, no leaks. Which is why I am giving two stars instead of one. I don’t like repair workers who try to milk extra money out of homeowners for the same job they had originally agreed to do for less. In my case, it was to replace a faucet. How he accomplished that was up to him, but I paid for an hour of his time/​expertise. It is not right for him to pressure me for more money because he was going to have to work a little harder for that hour’s pay. :(

I have used these guys a number of times. They are always prompt, helpful and the quality of work is what you would expect. I had a water heater leak and I need immediate response as I was out of town on business. I called Mr. Handyman, gave them my garage access code and they were able to stop the leaking form causing further damage and replaced the unit timely. They patched and repaired all damaged areas — all within 6 hours of my call! I would recommend Mr. Handyman to anyone.
