Handy Homes's reply

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind comments about the quality of the work, Alicia. We understand that pricing can sometimes feel surprising. Installing slab closet doors into an existing frame often takes more time than installing a pre-hung door, as the hinges must be precisely routed and the existing jamb adjusted to ensure proper alignment and smooth operation. We’re glad you were pleased with the finished result and appreciate the opportunity to complete your tasks of installing door knobs and hanging the closet doors. www.handyhomes.com

Hired this company to replace my door handle and that was fixed in about 15 minutes. Because it was 99/hr I asked if they could fix my kitchen sink with a slow drip. Long story short, the gentleman was not able to fix it after trying to and then I was left with a sink that didn't work at all! It was truly a mess and water everywhere. I had to contact another company the very next day to fix my sink for $485.

Handy Homes's reply

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear that the door handle repair (the original reason for our visit) was completed successfully. As we were wrapping up, you mentioned a slow drip at the sink and asked if we could take a look. While plumbing repair was not part of the scheduled work, we were happy to inspect it as a courtesy to help you understand what might be causing the issue. During that inspection, we identified that the faucet had an internal handle failure and would need replacement, and we also noted that the supply line and angle stop should be replaced, but we did not have the time or parts to address that. Again, this was an existing leak, and were not hired to fix this originally. We understand how frustrating plumbing problems can be, and we’re sorry to hear you had to deal with further issues. If you’d like to discuss the situation in more detail, we’re always available to connect directly.

Handy Homes called almost immediately after I submitted for a quote on the app. The tech showed up at the time arranged with all necessary tools and completed the task in under the amount of time quoted. Excellent overall experience!
