Doors - Repair
I find it disheartening that this company has the review score it does, as my experience was much different. TLDR - They do not provide itemized estimates or invoices, they charge you additional trip fees when the additional trips are due to their forgetfulness, and their warranty is only good until they decide otherwise. I hired this company to stop water from coming into my house and basement whenever it rained. I had already had the original door replaced by Loweâ  s, but the issue persisted and Loweâ  s claimed they had done their job and installed a door. Mr Handyman felt that they could fix my issue if they took the door back out, sealed around the door further, and replaced it. They did this on August 16th, I signed off on the work and paid my invoice of $1377.25. The next time it rained, water came into the house again. At the same time, 6 days after the work was supposedly completed, they told me the worker had forgotten to do something and needed to come back, which would be less than an hour of work. I let them know I was also still having an issue with water. The worker came back on August 27th. He removed a piece of trim and shoved several shims in the space, then replaced the trim - that is what he had forgotten to do and would have taken 5 minutes had he done it the first day. He then applied a bunch of caulk/silicone around the door and raised the rubber piece under the door to help with any water. I was then charged another $235. Again, they did not provide an estimate for coming back out, and never once was I aware of a $70 trip charge. Additionally, the mistake of forgetting the shims was on them, and their work is supposed to be warrantied, which in my mind means that entire visit should not have cost anything. They refused to refund even the trip fee, saying it was not possible to refund and they were technically still within my original estimate (which was some text conversations of very general numbers - I should have taken that as a red flag). This is poor business practice all around and I felt deceived and taken advantage of. If I sign off on a job and pay my invoice, thatâ  s the end of what I expect to be charged. Not another surprise visit because something was missed by the business. Unfortunately, after that visit the leaking was actually worse (soaked an entire large bath towel and ran into the basement). I reached out again. To their credit, they did send another contractor quickly and he once again removed the door and installed a sill pan. He assured me that this fixes 99% of these issues and he thought it would be the fix. I did not pay for any of this visit, as they said it was covered under warranty and they wanted to make it right. They made an off handed comment that they qualify it as an issue with the door but they had worked on it and so would cover the costs. The leaking continues. However, this time it was several days after the rain that water came in. I contacted them on a Thursday to inform them, they were quick to reply and said they would talk to the contractor and call me back shortly. I had not heard anything by Monday so reached out again. They now say that there is nothing else they can do for me and itâ  s an issue with the door, and that if the sill pan overflows that canâ t be helped. I informed them the sill pan is not overflowing since this is days after it rains, the water must be sitting somewhere. They have not replied and I assume will not. So I guess their warranty is only good if they decide they will honor it. And now Iâ m out $1612.25 (in addition to the >$2000 I paid to have the door installed in the first place) and still have water entering my house.

Sonny was fine with working in 12* temperatures at the top of a ladder, pushing around an awkward-to-handle TV antenna. He worked safe and was friendly. I would highly recommend Sonny and Mr. Handyman to others and plan on bringing him back later in the year to tackle another project I have planned. Than you - Jim Coyle

Sliding Door or Tracks - Repair
I live far away from my property and needed a sliding glass door lock repaired for a new tenant. I knew going in it was going to be costly to get someone to handle it promptly, and it was: $50 to show up, $10 van stocking fee, and 1.75 hours of labor. Over $200 to do a handyman job. Yikes.

We hired the handyman service based on their initial estimate for job completion in 3-4 hours (over the phone). On the day of the job, the technician arrived on time. Half-way in to the job (and already after 1 trip to the hardware store, which costed an hour of time @ $90/hr), the technician wanted to go back to the hardware store for more supplies and also estimated that the job would take close to an entire day to complete. After agreeing to both (i.e. a second hardware store visit and for an entire day of service), we waited for the technician to return from the hardware store after 2 hours (i.e. another $180, of labor @ $ 90/hour for shopping the second time). However, at the end of the day, to our disappointment, only 70 % of the jobs got done by the end of the day. On top of it, the technician told us that we need to get rescheduled for another 3-4 hours of work for another day for additional charge (@$140 for the first hour and $90/hr for all subsequent hours). We felt ourselves to have been totally ripped and fooled, and got the feeling that they were slowly luring us in to a hole of per hour labor cost... while the quality of work is appreciable, the length of time taken to complete the job and the number of times that they have to go to the store to complete "handyman" level jobs is "totally outrageous". At $90/hour service, we were expecting them to be more prepared, better at evaluating the job site, and efficient in addressing the projects. Please note: They do their scheduling based on customer description of the job. No onsite visits will be made by them (even when requested) to evaluate the nature of the job, ahead of starting the work. The evaluation and job would be done only on scheduling the technician for the job. ***Hope this review is useful and you don't make the same mistake that we went through. ***
Response from Mr. Handyman of Greater Portland
"Hi Srinidi, We are sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with our service. Unfortunately, wood rot is a tricky task to undertake as it requires our service technician to first take out the affected areas to see how far it has spread to assess repairs more closely. We always strive for perfection, but we understand we have fallen short in this case. We would like an opportunity to discuss this with you. Please give us a call at 207-209-1562. Thank you!"

The Mr. Handyman person who came to my house was very pofessional. He also made sure to take me off the clock when he ate his lunch, which to me, is unusual for workers to do.
