I called several handymen as I wanted to get quotes for several projects. They all promised to get back to me with quotes- yet none of them ever did. I contacted 5 handymen before contacting Barry and I am so glad we found him! He has been great, he is detail oriented, punctual, communicates with us on everything and shows up to get the job done. I was such a headache to find a handyman but I am glad that we found Barry- I plan to contact him for any jobs that come up around our house. I highly highly recommend him- great guy and we feel comfortable having him in our home. He has build a shed base and a shed kit for us, and is now working on renovating our fireplace mantel and hearth.

Excellent company! Arrived on time, did an outstanding job completing our project and cleaned up when finished. All for a very competitive price.

Barry was very professional and expedient. He returned my call immediately, he showed up when he said he would. Barry was personable and knowledgeable. He assessed my problem and fixed it . I truly appreciate him and I highly recommend him and will definitely hire him again.

Excellent work! Single needed a handyman to help with some projects. Barry got the job done, left no show that he was even there just a great finished project. I know know I can start planning my future projects having someone who can help me get them done. He is also a joy to converse with! No job to small all you single ladies that just need that occasional help Barry is the guy to call!

Great guy. Worked with me to define exactly what I wanted and kept checking with me to make sure that he was doing it the way I wanted it to be done. Excellent work, well worth the cost.

I hired Barry to repair my antique table. What should have been a quick project turned into multiple attempts to get a hold of him (after many appts were missed or rescheduled) and multiple visits to finish. When he was done, the quality of work was subpar and when I addressed my concerns to him, his response was 'I did my best'. His poor workmanship, communication and professionalism has caused me to seek out the help of another contractor to fix the work.

Response from Company:

A nice lady, I finished 7 antique and delivered them to her the last antique was a table. I applied one last coat urethane on the top of the table when I left the customer open up the windows the window it was windy and it caused the top of the window to become wavy. I went back several time to fix the problem and I still had another code to apply when she told me not to come back. I offer to refund her payment but she refused I would still like to refund her money because I want all my customer to be 100 satisfied.

Very nice, polite and honest, felt comfortable having him in our home. Unfortunately, he did not complete the work requested on the first or second visit and I was somewhat okay with that. Be sure you make your work list and hand it to him in your order of preference. Otherwise the quality was good!

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
