Great Job!

Scherrie did such a good job on areas that hadn't been deep cleaned in years that she is welcome back anytime - it's like staying in a new place. Thanks Scherrie!

Denitria came to clean and she was very thorough despite all of the construction going on in the house! Her patience was great and very much appreciated!

Professional & Quick
October 26, 2020

I had a room divider assembled for my son's apartment and glad I made the decision to have it assembled professionally. He was prompt, sent text messages to say he was close and very professional adhering to CDC guidelines. I highly recommend!

Sent me a handyman
October 24, 2020

I requested someone to diagnose and repair a TV. They sent a handyman. I told him that I had tried a hard reset of the tv and it didn't work. He then twice tried the hard reset incorrectly with no results. Apologized for not being able to fix it and left in less than 10 minutes.

Extremely professional and quality service. They went above and beyond with connecting our technology on both our phones and thoroughly explaining all of the devices, how they'd install, why they needed to do what they want to do, etc. Their work was flawless and they took great consideration of safety in our home with masks and shoe covers - white glove service! I can't recommend Rafael enough!

Christian was terrific
October 14, 2020

We had a challenging installation of a large diptych in a tall stairwell. Christian was excellent at working with us to achieve the desired placement. It wasn't easy, but he managed to nail it (no pun intended). We never could have done it ourselves. Great job.

Handyman services
October 13, 2020

Efrain was more than perfect. He was professional, knew how to fix everything I asked. Worked fast & good. Prompt and accurate. Gave me ideas, stayed within the time allotted. The job was perfectly completed! Very skilled. Not only that he rescued me under shatter glass from a divider that fell on me. He helped me to clean and take the shattered glass to be disposed. I don't have enough words to express how good worker Efrain is.! The best!

OK Service
October 13, 2020

Booked the Handy service and was given an appointment over a week away. On the day of the appointment, the person did not show up, they said he was in a car accident. Rescheduled with another person but he was not available until three day later. He showed up 15 minutes late and did complete the job but I had to help him as the job required two people to move the equipment. These workers are all independent contractors so your mileage may vary.

Not worth ONE STAR
October 12, 2020

This company has rescheduled my date to install the item I bought through Wayfair 3 times. That's after it already sat for 11 days waiting for it to be installed. It's still sitting waiting after the 3rd cancellation and 3 days off work I've taken. $197.00 fee to set up and NOTHING. My friend ordered a dresser and after a no show and 5 telephone calls later she cancelled and sent her item back. Exactly what I'm doing tomorrow. If you can't put it together yourself DO NOT BUY THROUGH Wayfair. Rose Perry Murphys, CA.

I purchased a playscape from Walmart.com and they had Handy come out for assembly. This was the WORST experience I have ever had with an assembly company. The first contractor demanded money to finish the job, the second contractor cancelled less then 12 hours before the job was scheduled, the 3rd contractor also demanded a "cash deal" to finish the job, and the 4th contractor said he had put one of these together before, but it took him over 12 hours and I found cracked pieces, and a box of wood that was thrown away after he left. I also found missing hardware and beams that were not assembled. He also assembled several pieces backwards. The playscape is unsafe and has to be returned after WEEKS of fighting with this company to get it assembled.

Scam site
October 7, 2020

Tried signing up as handyman and lawn service and the app would not work. Would not allow me to update my profile. Customer support would repeat the same instructions that would not work. I cancelled my account and wish I had never given them my information.

Horrible Business
October 1, 2020

Horrible service. Handy puts bookings on pros schedule without their knowledge, so when the time comes around, they have to miss it because they didn't know they had a booking. So, the pros are forced to pay a penalty for missing a booking. Handy customer service is complete trash. Every time this happens, they send a cookie cutter response AND BLOCK THE PRO FROM SCHEDULING WITH YOU! They totally block you from the pro, even though it wasn't their fault for the confusion. It was Handy's fault due to poor communication and no alerts for the pros to see. Super irritating. I tried to keep giving them the benefit of the doubt, but today, after it happening for the 5th or 6th time, I've had it. Get your business together, Handy. You suck.

If anyone is interested, there's a similar service called Queen of Maids and not only are their pricing and scheduling better, their customer service is top notch.

If they're available in your area, I highly suggest them, and Handy can eat my shorts.

Just stay away people. Average services and their customer service communication is the worst I have come across. How did they even manage a 1.04/5 rating? Not even THAT good!

Terrible service
September 26, 2020

Handy will consistently cancel and rebook an appointment for service with no compensation to the person they are canceling last minute one. But when you cancel the service you no long need be they could never find anyone. You get charge a $15 cancellation fee that they refuse to refund.

Handy was to install a lock, they could not do it. I called for a refund, they said 3 weeks for a check. It's been 2 months, no check. I called them again, they said they never received an invoice (they did), now I have to wait another month. I am filing a complaint with the NY Attorney General's office. This place is horrible.
