"Handyman Carpentry came through for me and my family! Our door was kicked in and I needed to feel safe immediately. Mr. Kevin came through with a fast response, and great work. He kept in contact throughout the entire time! Reasonable and fair pricing. This was an emergency for me and Mr. Kevin and his squad came through. We will definitely be calling on him again for more carpentry and home improvement jobs! Thank you and I pray nothing but growth and success for you and your business!!"

"The repairs went well. He trimmed the trees a bit to get the branches away from the roof and replaced the damaged shingles. Though it hasn't rained yet so I don't know for sure if the leak is fixed. Hopefully I won't have to rely on the 1 year warranty."

"Refrigeration compartment was warm. Jose quickly diagnosed this as ice build up, possibly from owner leaving door ajar. He removed ice with steam, replaced defrost sensor, checked controls and other functions to verify things were working well. Great repair and maintenance."

"This is my final Review for Gary Stanley, of Stanley Handyman and Remodeling Services; as all jobs are now completed. I had written a review earlier in the process because so much had to be done and was more involved than anticipated. So some of this review may be repetitive. I will say again that Gary Stanley was a Godsend for this older couple with a 30 year old house that had over the years developed issues that we were not able to remedy. We had had a man build our Trex deck and experienced a time and money creep that left us leery of trying to find anyone else. However, we had good luck with Home Advisors/Angi's List for plumbing problems so gave it a try. Gary and one other guy answered withing 30 min. of Request placed. Other guy came with tape measurer and walked around seeing rotten boards and other problems I did not see; and ignoring what I was worried about. Told me he would send an estimate in a few days. Called back to say "they didn't make my kind of siding so would have to replace all with different type"-but no estimate. Gary Stanley came next day-got out of his truck and pulled off his ladder and took the time to actually climb up to check the siding to see what was rotten . Before I mentioned the concrete breaking up at garage door, he had knelt down and was inspecting problem. As we did a walk around for me to tell him all I had on my list. I told him there may be a problem with finding my siding based on other guy. I wanted to replace with Hardie board, but he told me that he could try but angles & size of boards may not match. I could tell from his immediate inspection of the problems and what he would do to fix each one---finally, we got the right guy with experience in all aspects of home building and repairs; carpentry, brickwork, concrete work---Thank You, Lord!! I had read his reviews: hard working, honest as day is long; doesn't quit until job finished; does good work. Big Plus was he is from Arkansas -I am from Georgia so we both spoke Southern! Now when Gary gives an estimate; he will include a phrase" unless there becomes a CATASTROPHIC finding." We were DIYers so we understood that if what seemed a simple repair was found to be more involved to repair that we would be informed and he would go from there. WE were OK with that because from the beginning ; Gary was working to save money for us- example: the iron clean out door was rusted & falling out of the hole in the chimney-I priced new ($85)- but size of hole off standard. Gary took it & refurbished the door and re-mortared it back in place for a fraction of new cost. CATASTROPHIC #1 !!!!!! became the OMG word throughout all the work! The front window repair was a nightmare of unseen rotten support beams that had to be replaced before entire top floor fell through- Gary took every precaution using a jack and series of supports to accomplish this. He re-framed the entire window including better flashing at the top (Andersen Renewal windows 6 yrs old). Replaced insulation, moisture barrier and painstakingly searched to find the right size Cedar board to trim bottom of window as I wanted. CATASTROPHIC #2!! Working on the porch, he discovered that of the 4 existing posts only 1 was bearing weight of whole porch& built in storage room on top!!!!! The railings were cemented into brick wall so removal left ugly area that had to be re-bricked. Gary made two new support posts installed in steel boots and wrapped in Cedar and painted our trim color. We were so relieved to know that issue was solved. In that process, he had noted minor missing sofit pieces and need for paint which he did and told me later. Just took care of little and big things--I noticed my front door was repainted-he said he had paint extra so he just did it and made everything on porch look new---that is his way! CATASTROPHIC #3!!! Repair of porch rooftop-He found that when roofers had replaced our roof in 2016; they had cut the shingles too far back from edge of wall. So flashing was gone and shingles migrated and water had puddled because they had tried to compensated with a dam of caulk and YEP-developed a leak. Gary always stopped and told us what he found and gave his fix and asked how to proceed. My husband, engineer, agreed with him and now all rotted trim, stucco, repaired and he re-shingled about a third of the porch roof making sure shingles installed right and that translated to repair rotten wood in top of porch where leak had occurred. Now, to the siding the other guy said he couldn't find----Gary found it at McCoys!! He also bought a Hardie board because that's what I wanted to replace-but Hardie did not work. So Gary got only siding needed to replace rotten boards. As this is a 2 story house, he put up scaffolding to be able to do the work. Every time I checked he was adding extra paint to blend in old to new and made it all look new. CATASTROPHIC #4!!! While working on side of house, Gary saw that the brick fascade beneath siding was moving. He showed us that he traced the cracks in all of the side which led down to lower wall of garage- from what he discovered and what we knew; it was revealed that our house had foundation problems! We had been unaware of the progression of the settling- Now,we understood we had to get some Foundation people out. Gary proceeded to stabilize the wall which went from bowed out to pulled back in line before he finished the siding repair. He could have just repaired siding and left us unaware of major problem. In each undertaking, I saw that not only was he skilled, but his integrity matched his skill. CATASTROPHIC #5!!-Bricking of Back Bay Window-Due to settling, bricks had actually pulled away from main structure and the mortar was crumbling in top third of structure on 3 sides. First of all, I had saved bricks from our 1984 build but was running short. Gary removed and cleaned bricks and used my extras to repair the entire area. He had to cut bricks at different angles to accommodate the degree of movement of the brick wall which he stabilized. He went the extra mile by applying needed mortar and caulk in areas adjacent to the brickwork he did- again it looks brand new. CATASTROPHIC #6!!! Our Trex deck was built around a growing OAK tree that had a hole for spacing of the tree's growth. But in last 5 years , the tree had pretty much take up space and the hole needed to be enlarged. I ask Gary to enlarge the hole but I was concerned about the Trex material and construction. He researched to find out the type of saw blade and made the cut within consideration of structure beneath the top boards. He found that the original builder had made a wooden box for the tree that sat on the support beams underneath. The positioning of that box led to water damage of that support beam which will need to be replaced but will require removal of some of the Trex Boards--that is scheduled in a month or two and I only trust Gary not to ruin the decking system for the repair! Fortunately, the other repairs went as expected. A Surprise was Gary's ingenious design and build of the cover of our outside HVAC. Evey winter when we have had freezing rains, this unit is located in the area downstream where rain falls down inside unit. The fan freezes up and all interior gets iced up and we have to turn it off to prevent motor burnout. I talked to A/C guy who said the cover had to be at least 4 ft. above unit and open on all sides to allow correct air movement. Gary was concerned about building a shelter from house going into wood siding or brick to hold weight of cover. He did research as we did looking at everything from a BBQ/Grill cover to a Pop-Up cover- We also had to consider our subdivision HOA, Gary designed and built a cover using gray PVC pipe and fittings with a top of light weight plastic sheeting- met all requirements and as was allowed attached to frame of unit to stay in place----Genius!! and didn't cost hundreds of dollars! I found a beautiful oak door that Gary finished , painted and installed for the Water Heater closet. Door was weird size and he had to make modifications to door"

"Charlie was able to work around our needs and they were able to repair the drywall damage almost to perfection. The repair crew was knowledgeable and accommodating to our family needs. They completed the job in the time specified and cleaned up everything as well once the job was completed. Overall a great experience."

"They did a great job repairing the shed. Will recommend this company to a friend that needs similar repairs."

"The home was older with 2 working systems and an abandoned system, this had been revised over the years before I purchased the home so I am sure the configuration was complicated. Several things they fixed correctly, however, when the new duct work was installed neither of the guys that originally evaluated the system was present and some of the duct work was not installed properly - ducts were left too long and kinked into spaces reducing airflow and two supply lines were also connected to returns. I actually felt the cold air blowing out of both the supply and return ducts so I know the wrong ducts were connected in two rooms.  Old duct work that had been connected to a newer system was not recognized in the original evaluation so was not replaced and those rooms went from poor air conditioning to no air conditioning. Two companies I asked to review and estimate corrections to the Tasco repairs both checked the abandoned system for working ducts as part of their review and mentioned that is a common problem they always look for. Laine, who originally inspected the system and recommended the repairs, and is the reason I chose Tasco, never returned to the property again...not to oversee or check the work despite my request to do so. When it was time for the inspection, Tasco was suppose to be present but did not show up and the inspection failed, requiring a repeat inspection and another afternoon of my time. There was a representative from Tasco for the second inspection. In their defense, Tasco was responsive to my calls and was going to try to address the problems but by then I felt it better to use a company where the same person would supervise all the work for the revisions and anything new I needed in the future. <br />"
