Mr. Handyman was recommended to me by a neighbor. I had sheetrock damage to a ceiling when an A/C unit leaked. It was a small leak, and did little damage. I knew I was in trouble when Mr. Handyman's estimator talked about how bad the damage was. As per their terms, I paid about $80 for the estimate.

Blake was very professional and told me the work that I thought needed to be done, was not necessary and he could repair and not replace. This saved me a lot of money. He could have up-sold me but he was very honest. He finished the job within the time frame he quoted. I will definitely use them again and it is refreshing to find someone who is honest.

Mr. Handyman was recommended to me by a neighbor. I had sheetrock damage to a ceiling when an A/C unit leaked. It was a small leak, and did little damage. I knew I was in trouble when Mr. Handyman's estimator talked about how bad the damage was. As per their terms, I paid about $80 for the estimate.
Since this estimate was so high, I got a different recommendation from a friend. This licensed contractor did not charge for his estimate, which was much lower than Mr. Handyman's. Mr. Handyman's estimate was about 2/3 higher than that of the contractor I used. The work has been completed, and it looks great.
I will not be using Mr. Handyman for any work in the future. Having to pay $80 for an inflated estimate was a slap in the face.
Response from the owner · 2 weeks ago
Thank you for your feedback and for giving us the opportunity to provide an estimate. We understand your frustration with the difference between our quote and the price you ultimately paid.
We clearly disclose our service fee over the phone and in our scheduling communications before the appointment so customers can make an informed decision.
Mr. Handyman is licensed, insured, and bonded, and we back our work with a one-year workmanship warranty. Our estimates reflect the repairs we recommend and our commitment to quality work and accountability.
We respect your decision to choose another provider and are glad your ceiling repair turned out well. As the owner, I would welcome the opportunity to review your estimate and discuss your concerns directly.
