in this time of coronavirus, a handy person needs to be prepared. jerry was supposed to fix two switches, said he would wear a mask if i provided one. can he not be vaccinated working in a person's home???? and not have his own mask???? so we cancelled.

I called to have someone install a railing on our front porch. Two steps and the landing. Took three phone calls to get someone to come out. When he finally did, he looked, did not even bring a tape measure and said to to Menards and buy the railing and call me back. Asked three times for a installation price and he kept saying depends. Finally said $300. a railing. This is to put in three post on each side. I said, so I just measure it and get the parts. His reply was they are about four foot pieces. Never measured. I did not expect to measure myself, buy the parts and hope they are correct and

Highly unprofessional! Please do yourself a favor and steer clear of this outfit. We had Mr. Wil from Milwaukee Handyman come survey our property for painting the basement and adding a few electrical outlets. As Wil left he said I will get back to you as soon as today with a quote exact words! The problem is that was on the 25th of August and today is 3rd September and still no quote a full ten days. We called their business multiple times and never got a call back most probably because it was not a big profitable job. There are other smaller businesses and independent

James was very prompt, courteous and professional. Both of our projects were repairing structural deterioration, and he did a great job on both. We called him back to make a minor adjustment to our back gate, and he was again very prompt and finished work quickly, and even added a piece of wood to make the repair more visibly pleasing.

Just watched a Mikwaukee Handyman pickup truck tailgate and get dangerously close to another driver on I43N near Marquette Campus. The driver was berating, honking and speeding. Dangerous behavior in traffic. Not a great representation of your business, especially when your number is on the sides and back of your vehicle.
