I contacted Dandy Dave the Handyman to install and paid new folding closet doors. I purchased the doors at home depot. The Handyman came and spend several hours on the job. When he left there was splotchy paint on the doors, the handles were in the wrong place (you can not even open the doors once closed), the hinges had been moved and holes not filled, and trim was damaged and not repaired. I called Dave, I am guessing the owner, and sent several pictures. He said he would send the same tech out to fix it. I told him I wanted a different tech or a refund. He then sent this: ; Someone worked on this door after we left the property. I could not believe it. Why would anyone damage a project in their own home? It is crazy. He then told me that I could have the same Tech or no refund after insulting me. I told him that I see no value in the same tech that did the work the first time coming back and that our business was concluded. I will have to repurchase the closet doors and find another handyman to come to paint and install and fix the trim. I lost around $100 for the doors and $350 for the install, in addition to my time and being insulted. It is not a ton of money, but extremely disappointing. I think the worse thing was dealing with someone who was so willing to believe that I damaged the doors after their tech left.
Response from Dandy Dave Handyman
"The story is a complete fabrication and this was an attempt to have me fix damage that occurred after the we left the property. The customer inspected the installation and said, "It looks GREAT!" Over a day later I receive a message showing the damage that they created. This review should be removed because it is does not accurately describe the event. I offered to send a technician back to fix the damage THEY caused for FREE. The customer (husband or son) took the door apart after the technician left. I have pictures of the project that shows the door was installed properly and looked exceptional. She sent me pictures of the doors that showed the all the hardware being moved and damaged trim. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE DID. I believe that they wanted the bi-folding doors to open in a different direction and they moved the hardware and damaged the trim."

Said he was going to refund me never did ! The person sent out to put a new timer on dryer didnâ t hook up correctly - and I had to call someone else to move one wire - The first guy said â I told you I donâ t think we could do it â seriously then you shouldnâ t have taken the job if your unsure ! Cost me double
Response from Dandy Dave Handyman
"This review is not accurate. At the client request a new timer was installed EXACTLY as the old-timer was. She was aware that appliance repair was not what we do. She said her son had previously worked on it. I suspect that he or someone had worked on it and installed it wrong, thus we installed it as it was. Offered to correct the issue but the client called an appliance repair specialist. We strive to achieve 100% customer satisfaction. So sorry that she was disappointed with our service and we did offer to correct the issue."

We had to call the police on the horrible behavior of one of Dave?s workers. Jerry threw a bag across our office and screamed obscenities at me. He was escorted off our premises. When I first called Dave to tell him of my concerns about this employee and how he was wasting time even before this incident occurred- Dave just said they could just end the job. After the police were called and Dave was notified- he offered to come out and make things right but we declined. Just needed to get passed this traumatic experience!
Response from Dandy Dave Handyman
"I am sorry that this incident occurred. As with all stories there are 2 sides. Jerry claimed that he was assaulted by this customer. Jerry states that the customer was upset because he had to go get parts and she was upset because he took so long. Jerry claimed that the customer pushed him and he responded accordingly. In my opinion both parties should have stood down instead of continuing to bicker. The incident escalated much further than it should have. Jerry declined to press charges and left the premise. WHAT A SHAME that Carol decided to post this opinionated statement doing nothing but harming the good employees that depend on this company to earn an income. Our reputation is extremely honorable and this incident does not represent the good service that we provide daily."

Jerry was very professional, and the job was completed in the estimated time and at the cost budgeted. Jerry did a great job, not letting me make the project more complicated. I trust the Pro's. Great team, focused on quality workmanship.

This company was very finicky on a small project of simply adding shelves in a master bedroom closet. I?d suggest that if they don?t want a job they say that upfront vs stalling & not providing clear pricing then backing out at the last minute & having an attitude about it.
Response from Dandy Dave Handyman
"This client was difficult, and wanted to negotiate a price for performing a very unique project that was extremely specific. When presented with the cost she delayed and was reluctant to accept the price. She remained uncommitted and therefore we withdrew from the project. this person is part of the "Cancel Culture". Potential customers that have not purchased a companies service should not be able to post false information and subjective reviews. Only verified purchasers should be able to review a vendor. Just as a customer picks and chooses who they work with, small business can as well. A transaction should be mutually beneficial to all pa"
