Reviews of American Handyman Service (Contractor)

kelli reid

American Handyman was the third handman I had come and give me a estimate for replacing my kitchen sink, faucet and garbage disposal. Not only were they the best priced, the installer who came out was the most friendly, knowledgeable and professional of the three. I highly recommend them for all handyman needs. I will definitely be using them in the future.

Terrible experience. Had them give a quote for replacing some weathered outside doors. Quote was $663. They delayed work for over 3 weeks. When they came they said it would $150 more since I didn't save old doors which they didn't ask me to. Never would give me a list of materials but charged $182 for what I don't know. Said it was not their policy to provide a list of materials. It is a stretch to call the workmanship shoddy...it was worse. Refused to send out a supervisor to look at the poor workmanship... but send the same worker who only argued. I will never consider using them again

I had American Handyman repair my drywall in my bathroom that was damaged from water leaking from the unit above mine. They arrived on time during the time window which was provided which I was very pleased with. The repairman was very polite and professional and explained things very clearly that I could understand. The repairman did a very good job in a timely manner. When the job was done it looked like nothing had ever happened in my bathroom. The cost was very reasonable as well which I was very happy with. I would recommend American Handyman Service to anyone and I will be using them again for future jobs.

We had these guys out to install some custom lighting over our pool area. They showed up right on time with quality work and great pricing. Every guest that comes over says “oh that’s amazing, who did this work?” I send them straight to America Handyman! We have used them for several other projects around the house and will always use them in the future.

Was charged 50$ initially to tell me that I needed a new faucet, so had to reschedule for new faucet. When charged for payment an additional 25 $ was added as a travel fee. Was never told about the travel fee moreover i thought 50$ for someone to look and tell me that I needed a new faucet was a little steep. Don'the like shady charges. Called and spoke with supervisor and he got very defensive. Poor customer service so customers beware.

Beth DeLong

Our handyman Wes diagnosed the issue with our sink within minutes and had the problem fixed in no time. Very prompt and fairly priced. I highly recommend!

Chris Johnson

Quote was exactly as Herb stated, was much less expensive than other companies quotes, I'm satisfied beyond imagine, thank you American Handyman.

Peter Tsai

Robert was amazing! He was on time, very thorough and honest. Robert repaired my dining table by taking it apart, finding the problem, repairing the problem, reassembling it and making sure it was done correctly. If there were any things that were not perfectly correct, he made sure they were solved before leaving. It is hard to find reliable service for a fair price but American Handyman is definitely a diamond in the rough! I highly recommend you try them before any one else, especially if you want something done right.

Michael Lieber

We contacted American handyman for some basic repairs : ie tighten shower faucet handles , attach kitchen cabinet hinge , install a GFI outlet . and replace 2 lightbulbs . We explained that we have had some bad experiences in the past with padding the bill and working too slow . I felt the work should have taken a " skilled " professional 1-1.5 hours maximum . The gentleman showed up on time and was very friendly . He was able to repair everything but the GFI . That was not a problem since , there is probably a tripped breaker and there wasn't any access . When the bill came , he said he had over 2.5 hours . I told him that was impossible considering how simple the work was . ( Change a couple light bulbs and cabinet door and tighten some shower handles ) He offered to settle it for 1 hour of work , I would have paid 1.5 hours , but accepted his offer . Since I thought they did a good job and gave me a fair price , I called them 3 days later for another job . The owner refuse to do another job for me. He did not believe my constructive criticism about his employee working too slow. I said at $55 a hour , I expected a proficient person who could move through a job . I would not recommend this company to anyone since they do not move through a job the way a professional and skilled person should and their boss or manager is unwilling to accept constructive feedback . I offered another 1/2 hour of work since I was never trying to take advantage of anyone . But they refused . I only wanted a fair price for the work performed .

American Handyman provides a great service for those who can't tell a hammer from a wrench. The contractors are professional and are always on time. When a job needs further attention, they are always willing to revisit the issue.

Eleanor Sees

I have used American Handyman a number of times over the last few years and have been very pleased with the work done. Today I had an appointment to get estimates for major repairs and they continued to demonstrate courtesy, knowledge and professionalism. My thanks to Wes Moore who so willingly came out in the middle of the day, 112 degrees, and speak with me. Good job.

natalie miranda

Horrible. Went to get materials, spent an hour getting them. Needed a small piece a plywood got a huge 6 by 2 piece charged us $60 for it, then tried to take it with them! The person they sent had no tool belt so instead of utilizing his time well, went back and forth to his truck (not even exaggerating) 20 times! Then they charges us 30 min drive time fee which was NEVER disclosed to us when making the appointment. When we called and spoke to office/ manager he threatening to hang up on us because we were unhappy with the whole ordeal. He then told us he would credit us some money, but NEVER did. End of story a $300 microwave ended costing us over $200 for really 15 minutes of ACTUAL work. Worse rip off ever. Companies like this give all other small businesses a bad rep!

Victoria Kinghorn

I have an older house and it can be hard to work on sometimes with the double brick and non-standard measurements. American Handyman Service beautifully installed a new exterior laundry room door for me. I never dreamed it would look so nice, fit perfectly, and also the suggestion of the swing of the door was a great improvement. I have already told some of my friends and will use their services again. Very, very happy with the work!

Denise Morrison

I am over the moon with the overall experience. I had left a message on Sunday evening, and they called me back 1st thing Monday morning. I had a blank slab interior door that needed to be installed. Other companies I called would not install the door because we did not purchase it from them, or they would not return a phone call. We scheduled for Friday. Bill was right on time. Bill explained everything to me and what my expectations should be after the install. My expectations were far exceeded. The craftsmanship is superior and the tradesman was very professional. I cannot be more pleased. I highly recommend.

Francisco Molina

American Handyman Service is the greatest! Chris the handyman is the coolest! He helped me replace and fix my broken interior door. He fixed everything from the hinges to installing a custom frame to make it fit to perfection (mobile home interior door). Chris provided the nicest customer service and was really effective. If your anything like me who thinks he knows something about fixing things but in the end makes things worse, call American Handyman Service for all your home fixing needs. They’ll take care of you.

Sharon MarieB

I don’t understand-when I called to find out their rates, they told me the hourly. I explained that the dresser I had to assemble was almost completely finished and it wouldn’t take more than an hour,... but then I was told I would be charged for their driving time - fine, ... but the guy couldn’t even tell me *where they would be driving *from - it just sounded very dishonest to me. I told them never mind. If you’re going to charge driving time, you have to tell the customer where the driver is coming from and preferably it should be local* I’ve been in a nursing home care before and I have not gotten paid for my driving time. I just couldn’t get a straight answer.

Keely Riley

I am so happy to have found American Handyman Service. I wanted an additional showerhead added to my master bathroom. This would require a lot of different skills, (plumbing, drywall repair, tile work and painting). They were able to handle it all in one day and I am Thrilled with the result! I will definitely hire them again with any home repair needs.

Shannon Bothwell

Our handyman is Robert. We have used him 2x now and scheduling our 3rd time to help with several items we needed completed at the house. Robert works very efficiently, explains the details of the work, and is honest on the pricing without any surprises at the end. My husband and I are thrilled with each project he has completed for us. We originally called him out to repair a leaking roof, and after repairing, came under budget and we were able to get our shower fixed too! He has done several smaller projects, from creating an additional electrical outlet, repairing drywall, and installing fixtures correctly, that were previously incorrect. He has saved our family $$$ and will soon be starting on my mom's house. Robert is a true asset, thank you!

Robert Roe

Originally had an appointment for an estimate scheduled for Monday between 3-5pm. I received a call Monday afternoon asking if they could change my appointment to Wednesday as they had a conflict of scheduling. We agreed to Wednesday at the same time. Later that afternoon I found out that I needed to pick up my daughter from school beginning Wednesday. I called and asked to push back the window to 3:45pm. I was told that they could not accommodate me with the later time. I found this not good customer service as I was willing to accommodate them by moving to a different day due to their scheduling issue . I cannot vouch for their quality of work, but I can truthfully say that I was extremely unhappy with their customer service.

Alex Kairoff

Wish I had seen the Yelp reviews before! Just had a very unprofessional experience with American Handyman Service. Wes, who came out for the job, trashed my place. He didn't clean up after the job, left a plastic cup outside of my house, oil stains on my driveway, and didn't even fix the problems I asked him to fix! To add insult to injury, he told me that I could easily replace the faucet myself, fix the leaking toilet, etc. Isn't that why I called you in the first place? Finding a good service company here is like finding a needle in a haystack. Total waste of money. Hopefully, they will be willing to make this right. UPDATE: One star to three. The company didn't charge me for the work. I hope they strive to improve their service for future customers so the earn repear and referral business. Good luck.

My spouse and I prefer to fix up our house by ourselves, when possible. However, we just hired this company to create a dog door through our cement walls, so we wouldn't botch it or have to buy more tools. Not only did the handyman, Chris Whitington, do a stellar job, he recommended a simple improvement in location that we had not thought about. He was very respectful about limiting debris, worked efficiently, and was both professional and had a warm demeanor.

GD Leong

A.H.S. did a great job fixing my patio door.

Harriet Plumb

We have had Chris and Robert do various jobs for us and they are so bright and competent. I am so glad this wonderful service is in Tucson. They also do not overcharge and are always on time. Thanks so much.

Judy Cook

I was looking for a roofer on google, pulled up the top 5 star companies and American Handyman came up. Since I also had other odd jobs that needed done I gave them a call and scheduled an appointmen. It was an excellent choice, this company was prompt, courteous, and knowledgable, and they assessed the job, fixed it in the most economic way, without pushing a more profitable solution for them. I am recommending this company to anyone who may need household repairs of any kind to all my freinds and neighbors.

Gayle J

I have relied on American Handyman for many years. They are always honest and reliable, and I can count on them to consistently complete the work efficiently and professionally regardless of whether the job is big or small.

Sue LeGendre-McGhee

We just bought our first home a few months ago and the front door had some major issues. It wasn't stained on the bottom, so it would uptake water and as a result, had warped into more of a potato chip shape. It also wouldn't close properly, had improperly installed hardware, and didn't have weather sealing or a threshold. We bought a new door from Lowes, but needed to have it trimmed, installed, and varnished. Furthermore, we had a lot of questions about other things we may need done around our house. American Handyman Service sent out Chris this morning, and he was absolutely AMAZING! He took all the time needed to trim, install and varnish our new door, as well as to answer all of the questions we had about other things we've noticed around the house. Chris was very professional, personable, and great to work with. We will definitely hire this company again to help us with additional projects around our home! :) Thank you so much American Handyman Service for your hard work and amazing job!

Jordan Peterson

Great, honest service! Will get the job done!

Gwen Samlovessuzy

I hired American Handyman for a bunch of electrical work that I needed during my condo remodel. I was so fortunate to meet and work with Bill from AH. He was invaluable to me and went above and beyond to get all of the work done in a timely manner and even made great suggestions about some things that could be improved! He saved me from several nightmares that other contractors had neglected to mention and he was friendly and professional! I'd hire him back for any job I have in the future!

Macky Moore

Very professional. The work was done right the first time. My job was completed much faster than i expected. The work area was kept clean during the installation process. Our installer Wes recommended the right way to repair our problem. In my opinion it is worth it to pay a little more For quality work. Great job Wes.

James Kaltenhauser

After trying to deal with some other companies I finally found American Handyman Service through Thumbtack. What a relief it was to deal with a professional company instead of the inferior companies that fail to show up, give you a bid or just are rude and incompetent. I dealt with Herb and Eric and they were wonderful from the very beginning. They came out the same day that I called them and had a bid to me within hours. The work performed was outstanding and I was very satisfied with the quality and price. The company cleaned up their mess and left everything tip top. I highly recommend this company and will use them for all my project needs. Trust me, you can't go wrong.

Larissa Braden

I have called American Handyman on three separate occasions when I needed help with a project that was a little more than I could handle on my own as a novice DIY'er. Each time, my technician has been courteous and professional, and the pricing has been fair and transparent. I felt compelled to write this review after reading recent negative reviews. I highly recommend American Handyman and I would absolutely call them again for help with future projects.

Annette Sereno

Wes came here on time explained everything to me. Even saved me money because I did not need a light switch . He came back and fixed on other small item with my fan . I have had great experiences with Hanyman

Brent Wauer

A couple of days ago I called American Handyman requesting somebody install a chandelier for me as I recently had back surgery and was unable to do the job myself. I was scheduled for the job to be engaged the very next day and the "Handyman' showed up at my front door at the exact time promised. He then proceeded to complete the job quickly and efficiently; explaining what he was doing patiently and clearly. I was incredibly impressed with his skill and kindness. His intelligence and intellect were impressive as we spoke on a variety of subjects. I was most pleased to have him in my home completing this project for me; he was obviously of good character and quite the interesting individual! Finally, the cost of the project as completed, was about half the price I had been quoted by several other electricians in the Tucson area... I cannot recommend American Handyman enough and will not hesitate to call them immediately, should I have any other home projects.

Tucson Vacation Home

Very unprofessional and dishonest! Stay away! Look at other the other negative reviews before calling these guys!!! This company attempted to charge $75+ for an estimate even though we were told in advance that there is no charge for an estimate as is the norm with other companies we have spoke with. We were also provided a quote that was three times the other existing quotes for work and when questioned about the disparity in pricing, the installer grabbed the estimate and angrily stormed out. I would not recommend this company at all and I suspect with such unprofessional and dishonest business practices, they will soon close.

Laurie Charlton

Robert was right on time, professional, courteous, and completed the multiple items at a quick pace. We are looking forward to having him complete an additional list of projects on this older home that we just purchased. Their rates are fair amd comparable for licensed, bonded and insured service providers. I'm delighted to have found them.

Michael Petersen

These guys are the BOMB!!! Herb answered the phone right away and was knowledgeable and friendly. His quote was in line with the others I had collected but I decided to go with them. They showed up on time and didnt leave a mess. I highly recommend American Handyman for any home repair needs!

Butch Bryant

Called American Handyman to install a viga (stripped pine log) on my back porch. We also had some drywall cracks that needed repair. Chris Whitington showed up as a representative of American Handyman, and he did an outstanding job. The viga had to be notched top and bottom to accommodate the 4X6 beam at the top and the bracket on the bottom. Chris measured two or three times to ensure he had the right dimensions, made the cuts, and it fit perfectly! He repaired the drywall cracks in no time at all. Outstanding work all the way around, and we would hire these guys again in a New York heartbeat! Thanks, American Handyman!

*Short Version* American Handyman saved me quite a bit of $$$ converting my garage into a Playroom (with Home Theater). The work was completed quickly, professionally, and well under my budget. *Long Version* My wife and I live in a modest sized home, and with the addition of some little ones, we decided to convert our garage into a playroom to add some extra space. I also managed to convince my wife that the kids would really enjoy watching their Disney movies on a 1080p projector, displayed on a 200 inch screen. I'm pretty tech savvy but I knew I'd need help with building a projector screen and cooling the garage. I had some ideas on how I could accomplish this, which I discussed with American Handyman. He worked up an estimate based on my ideas but also one based on a few suggested changes that would drastically reduce my cost. First, the handyman recommended mounting the projector screen fabric directly to the wall and then finishing the edges with black trim instead mounting a custom pre-built screen to the ceiling. Second, I was considering cooling the garage with a mini-split A/C or running additional duct work from my central unit. I had previously been cooling my garage with a indoor standing unit and running the exhaust out the window. The unit cooled the room well but it looked bad from the outside and I was worried about how easy it would be for an intruder to get in. However, the handyman's suggestion to cut intake and exhaust ports in the wall addressed both of my concerns at a fraction of the cost! My kids absolutely love the Playroom and the money American Handyman saved me made it possible to upgrade the hardware for the Home Theater.

They had a very professional-looking web site when I was searching for a handyman service last year. My son and I needed some work done on a condo purchase. We chose this vendor because it appeared that they would be a one-stop-shop for all the work we wanted done, and that would save us finding separate vendors for glass vs plumbing, etc. I don't know how much this depends on the particular guy they send out, but overall I was "not delighted" with the results. It seemed that there were some jobs the guy was comfortable doing, and those were done well and done quickly. But we are quite dissatisfied with the attempt to replace bathroom cabinet mirrors. We wanted them replaced because they were warped so badly they looked like fun-house mirrors. The handyman removed them, ordered new ones. Fine. They took weeks to arrive and did not fit. After over a month, we grew tired of waiting for the job to be completed, but in the process of having him re-install the original mirrors, he cracked one of them. So after a month, we were worse off than when when we began, now having both warped and cracked mirrors. When the invoice was finalized, they charged over $2400 for this, and various other work, some done well, and some not-so-much. Bottom line: I was not impressed with their ability to tackle some seemingly simple work. And their pricing was way out of line with what actually got done. I don't think it is fair to charge for hours spent on a task that is not completed. I would not choose them again.

Danny Klein

These guys charged me $120 to fix a screen door which proceeded to come right off the track a week later when I tried opening it. Upon calling them to let them know that the screen was not properly repaired, they argued with me that their work performed on the screen door CAN'T even be warrantied FOR A DAY AFTER their work has been completed. This is complete NONSENSE!! I truly believe it is because these people are not licensed to be doing the repairs they are offering. I would not recommend them to anyone as they are not reliable & do not guarantee any type of job they perform. They were also 2 hours late on the job.

Caleb Duron

American Handyman is extremely professional. I appreciated there " see the job through" attitude. I will definitely call them back for all my handyman needs.

Anthony Daniels

Unflexable.

Kassie Mac

I had some repairs completed recently by Wes Moore (with his assistant Brad) and I couldn't be more pleased. They were completely professional, did an excellent job (in far less time than I had imagined) and left the area clean and neat. They started on time, had all necessary supplies, and worked diligently until the job was done. Some other companies weren't even willing to come out and give me an estimate, but American Handyman Service was cooperative and helpful. I can't recommend them highly enough, and requested business cards to give to my neighbors.

Atticus Lind

Robert was our handyman. Rick and I could not be more pleased. Robert is amazing!! Robert is funny, polite and paid close attention to detail. Our kitchen is so wonderful. I have hated my kitchen since we moved in. We were finally able to get this work done and I just love love love it. Robert was able to save us money because he was able to find matching cabinets. I asked for more counter space, more drawers and a open kitchen. Robert delivered!!! I can't express how happy I am. We are going to have him put in our counter tops and floors. He gave us great advise on where to go to look at counter tops and flooring. Can't wait until it's all done. This is the place to get you house construction done. I am so glad I called them. Thank You so much Robert for your hard work and dedication to my project. Cecelia, Rick and Atticus
