Rick was dependable, displayed versatility in the types of jobs that he performed, and kept the work site clean. His pricing was competitive and the work he did for us was of high quality. We would use Rick again if we needed assistance.

Rick charged $20 to come do an estimate but will credit it to the final bill. The contract was for $45 a hr. plus supplies. He bought a helper and they worked for 4hrs&15min..Supplies was $99.06. The total bill was for $290.31. I wrote a check for $300 being nice. When he gave me my final bill it was for a flat rate of $247.50(not a per hour rate) for labor and $90 for supplies. I wrote another for the total of $337.50. the reason he charged so much was " I have to pay the help something". he didn't honor the contract and overcharged me $67.31. The $20 credit was in the form of a WAWA GIFT CARD. . DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Response from Rick The Handyman
"My contract stated that I was charging $45 an hour- I estimated it would take 1-day which is clearly stated on the contract. Client wanted it done "as quickly as possible".I brought a helper in (without additional charges)to expedite the job. We completed in 5 1/2 hours which was 2 1/2 less than originally estimated. I charged 5.5 x 45 which equals 247.50 plus material $90 for a total of $337.50. I came back and gave the $20 as promised but you were not home and I was not comfortable leaving cash."

Finshed job within budget. However, I don't think I will rehire him back. Not clear on his payment terms upfront.
Response from Rick The Handyman
"My payment terms are very clear. When I complete the job I get paid. Customer wrote a bad check and I had to return to her home to get cash."
