All the people at HandyManny were very professional and helpful. The two men who did the installation came out, gathered the measurements, and built the covers. Then, they returned to complete the installation, also explaining how to remove and reseat the covers. Thanks to everyone involved! Dave

So impressed with the service and quality of HandyManny. Shout out to Angel, who came out today to give us an estimate and in no time installed the window well cover. Would definitely recommend, he was so kind, respectful, and professional.

The HandyManny team of Christian, Salvador and Arron did a fantastic job today. The window wells look great and are secure for the first time. Our home was built in 1925 and every window well was a different size. The covers fit perfectly. Highly recommended!

Angel, Christian, & Salvador all 3 were very great and professional. I got new window wells, covers and basement windows through HandyManny. I can say I was very grateful that these guys were the one doing my house. Everything looks so clean and professional. These 3 guys were very professional and answered any questions I had. I compared many other window well companies & HandyManny was very reasonably and with good quality. Definitely going to recommend these guys to friends and family.

We had the Lexan covers with security locks installed and I am pleased to report that my covers look just as good as the covers showcased in their brochures. I am very pleased with the work that was done. They use top notch materials, have quality craftsmanship and most importantly they stand by their work. I want to elaborate on that last point: HandyManny truly cares about the work they do and their customer's satisfaction.

I wasn't too pleased with some of the work that was done initially but HandyManny came back out and redid the work and I am VERY pleased with the output of their efforts. It's refreshing to come across a company who cares about their reputation and the quality of work they produce. If you're considering using HandyManny for window well covers you certainly cannot go wrong.

Easy experience. Came out next day from when I called to schedule. Some of the cuts are a little uneven but very sturdy. Cleaned out the wells which was amazing. For the price, not worried about it. I do recommend.

We are from a place where there are no basements, so when we moved to Denver we moved into a basement setting with my daughter's family. Both bedrooms in the basement had to have window well windows, which is the law, and we put in the window wells with grates when we remodeled the basement for our use. We didn't even know they could but covers on the window wells, that's how naive we were. Our window well was near a huge pine tree, so we had a lot of pine needles as well as an occasional baby bird, baby rabbit and mice.

When we asked our granddaughters to clean out the window well (after about five years) they complained of spiders. So we looked around for a solution and discovered Handy Manny and their cover for window wells that already had grates. They came and cut the covers that would perfectly fit our grates. The guys were friendly and fast (it took one hour for two window well covers) and they answered all our questions before we asked them. Very good service!

These people were wondeful. They repaired 2 window wells, and put covers on all. When we had to have a sidewalk replaced that interfered with the cover that they had installed, Handy Mandy quickly came out and were able to make adjustments to make it work. Enrique and Sergio were good, polite and quickly found a solution. Would recommend to anyone.
