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.

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 The Home Improvement Doctor
"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!

Barry worked for us for a month. our house is 25 yrs old and needed some serious repairs and upgrades and also some very mundane projects, Barry did all in a very professional manner. Also his expertise saved us a lot of money by fixing some things that were going to cost a lot of money by suggesting alternatives that solves these problems. some examples of his work; Changed out 36 light in a 25 ft ceiling; fixed two toilets that were going to cost us $1500 to replace: re grouted tiles on kitchen floor; paved part of the swimming pool apron : saved us from having to paint and wallpaper whole interior; hung wallpaper in two bathrooms etc We have some more projects I hope to get done later in the year. ;

Barry constructed a 12 x 14 gazebo in the backyard of our home with a metal roof, columns, and concrete piers. He ran electrical, installed a fan and lighting, and did an outstanding job in a timely manner under budget. We would highly recommend his work and craftmanship. He takes great pride in his profession and is very creative and good at problem solving. Would definitely use him again on other projects.

Barry is a true craftsman. Can handle just about every project my life partner and I asked of him. Fair price, top notch work. We had Barry remodel our master bathroom. He did such a good job we hired him to re do our kitchen. Clean, neat, and reliable. A charming man with high Morales and strong work ethic. Barry will be our handy MAN for life!

Barry installed a new door, built a new deck, refinished wood floors, sanded and painted kitchen cabinets and painted the kitchen. Barry is detail oriented, punctual and very accommodating. He puts a lot of thought into the projects to achieve the best end result. He cleans up after himself and has been a great help. We have plans to do some repairs on the exterior of the house next. I would not hesitate to recommend him and hire him in the future.

I really appreciated that Barry was professional, personable, easy to get ahold of and quick to return messages. I also appreciated that he was on time and came when he said he would come. Barry was great to help me with a couple of other things around my home at no extra charge. He also came back out to my house to touch-up the project a couple of days later. I would not hesitate to hire Barry for other projects in the future.

Presented himself very professionally and is a very nice guy. Prior to being hired we discussed if he could lay vinyl flooring in a bathroom and kitchen/dinning area. He assured me he was capable of laying the vinyl flooring. On completion of the installation the pattern of the vinyl flooring was not properly matched together and there were several areas of the vinyl sheets had been miss cut and pieced together with small pieces.
Response from The Home Improvement Doctor
"Manuel is absolutely right I had to seem two cuts together and the project didn't turn out 200 percent correct. In the future I will pass on vinyl flooring projects. I tried my best but apparently vinyl flooring is not my strongest point"
