Tim was well versed in the assortment of tasks I needed completed from electrical, to plumbing to drywall. He was fast and efficient and tidy. He did a great job and my only regret is that I didn't hire them sooner.

If you hire them make sure they send somebody that knows how to fix a specific problem.
Response from Mr. Handyman of Evanston, Skokie and Wilmette
"Marc - I understand your frustration in that you hired us to eliminate a noise coming from your ceiling fan, and we were unable to do so. As you and I discussed on the phone, we tried several methods, but we did not attempt to open up the motor casing to get at the motor. We do not have experience disassembling motors, so we should not have taken this job. We are now fully aware of this issue. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. - Jeff B., Owner, Mr. Handyman of Evanston, Skokie and Wilmette."

It is very difficult to spend money without getting anything for it, especially for retired people. Maybe they had good intentions, but their people are not qualified.

We tried multiple ways of identifying and fixing the source of the problem, but in the end we were not successful in doing so, so I can understand your disappointment. We remain committed to addressing our customers' home repair needs. - Jeff B., Owner, Mr. Handyman of Evanston, Skokie and Wilmette"
