    Efflorescence project was left this way.  I had to call them back to fix this.
    Therese N.

    Zero stars. I hired AGH to do 5 jobs at my house. They performed only 1 to satisfaction. I'll mention a couple. They stained my deck orange and ran out of stain & considered it done, they broke a knob off my washing machine and didn't tell me (I discovered it later), the worst was the floor a walk-in closet, which was very uneven. They installed a rigid floor instead of linoleum, which is what we discussed. I came home and there were huge gaps between the planks. Next, they put down linoleum squares, which popped up because the glue wouldn't hold. The owner, George, asked ME to buy Power Grab glue and remove the glue from the squares that weren't sticking and apply the Power Grab and put heavy books on the flooring for several days to see if it would hold. Essentially, I am doing his job. Finally, when that didn't work, he said he didn't want to put any more money into it and would only pay for a cheap 6 x 9 rug to throw over the faulty floor. Taking advantage of a senior citizen? You bet.

    New Bathroom vanity  top & faucet replaced
    Melissa G.

    I found A Good Handyman from all the great Yelp reviews and I will definitely be using them in the future. I had a vanity top and faucet replaced in my bathroom and Derhyl did an absolutely amazing job. Highly recommended!

    Door sill installed the wrong way around-instead of keeping water in the shower, it will run into the room.

    I don't know why I ever bothered contacting anyone else for handyman services…read more Michael has come up more than once when someone in the neighborhood Facebook group has been seeking a handyman. It was my fault that I didn't go with him from the get-go. I had experiences with two others that were terrible: The first one installed a couple things that were falling out by the time he left, and the second one apparently doesn't need business because he didn't respond to me for over 10 days after coming to take a look at what I needed. But anyway, this review is about the AWESOMENESS that is Michael! He responded within a day of my contacting him, which was a great place to start. He asked me to let him know what I needed and set up a time within a week or so. Then he contacted me to let me know he'd had a cancellation and could come three days earlier if I wanted! Yes please!! Michael is so personable. I liked him from the moment I opened the door, literally. One of the first things he said to me was "Can I tell you something about this door?" Apparently he has lots of customers who don't realize their storm doors have a screen and wanted to show me (I already knew though!). The most important task I had for him on this visit was to reattach the handrail that had been removed by some movers, and which had before they removed it been loose and coming out of the wall. That handrail is now rock solid. I honestly think I could hang from it (and I'm not a small gal) and it would not budge. He patched the drywall from where it had been coming out of the wall, and then he checked the remaining four or five handrails in the house to make sure they are equally as strong. He also gave tips on some filters for the furnace, and suggestions for smoke detectors--which was very timely, because I had been researching them before he visited. He's not inexpensive but he's worth every darn penny. I won't ever use another handyman whilst I live here, and I'm already feeling sad in my heart that if/when we do move, it'll probably be to a near suburb or outlying neighborhood like Norwood Park that he doesn't service and I'm mourning the loss of this awesome dude as my go-to handymensch.

    While Michael certainly doesn't need another 5 star review, I'm going to give him one, anyway. Our…read moregarbage disposal was broken. Before coming out, he suggested we try something to see if we easily could fix it ourselves, essentially, potentially talking himself out of a job. When we couldn't, he came out. Between the email exchange and the visit, I came up with a list of to do's, including the disposal, toilet issues, door and shelf issues, lighting problems, etc. In addition to fixing them all, he gave me a long list of ideas and recommendations and easy fix its from air filters to fire/carbon monoxide detectors, to ceiling fans, to water heaters, and the list goes on. All in an hour. It was a tremendous value for the money. I can't recommend Michael enough.

    Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with Chicagoland handyman. I was looking for a…read morehandyman to complete a few projects in my home. The repairman that I initially spoke with over the phone was super responsive and very polite. I was so impressed by the Yelp reviews and by the phone call that I immediately scheduled an appointment with him. After I finished setting up the service appointment we discussed the time, location, and other details. I immediately placed an order from my local hardware store and to have all the items (appliances) shipped to my home. The day before the scheduled appointment the repairman messaged me that he made a mistake and that he was supposed to schedule my appointment for the following day. He also mentioned that I did not send him a deposit to lock in my appointment as if I lost the appointment due to not paying him a deposit. I was confused! We never discussed a deposit or a deposit amount when I spoke with the handyman over the phone. I did not see the other Yelpers reference in their post anything about Zelle quick paying their repairman for a deposit. I thought something was odd I immediately thanked him for his time and told him I would not need his company to complete the repairs!

The initial price included up to 2 hours of which he worked about 1-1hr15 minutes. He charged an extra hour to apply a 3rd coat. He also forgot to do touch up painting initially which he said he'd do but did a mediocre job after he came back so I will need to repaint anyways. Communication was okay. He does ask for a deposit.
