Affordable Handyman is outstanding! It is unique, in that, it is comprised of a young man, Freddy, and his wonderful girlfriend! I LOVE that, Emily (his girlfriend and partner) is part of the package. Not only is she super competent and calm and charming, if you are a woman who is in need of this service, it is a nice, refreshing surprise to be greeted by another woman and to feel safe and at ease in her presence. So many times it is a man who responds and I can see how some women could be worried or uneasy depending on the man. So what a nice thing to see Emily! And, she is not just along to watch, this chick rocks! She knows exactly what she's doing and it shows.
Now, I have to tell you how amazing Freddy is too. He is a polite, funny man that listens very carefully to what you want done and responds appropriately. His manner is always respectful and if he says he will be at your house at a certain time, he will. He also calls to let one know that he is almost there. But it wouldn't matter how nice or how polite he was if his work couldn't stand on its own...and it certainly does. Not only was his quote to me over the phone (none of this bull*(&^t about not being able to give a quote unless he came over to take a look!) the absolute best I received, he was able to come out immediately and do the gig, AND, I discovered that he was a perfectionist about the work done. He checked and double-checked the work and took his time to do it correctly. No shortcuts. No lazy attitude or talking down to me in a patronizing manner. Just professional and warm. No pushiness to do other work either, but politely let me know he was always available and no job is too big or too small for him.
So, my brand new air conditioner is installed perfectly and running as I type this. Even though it was a bit larger than the guys at Home Depot told me it would be, Freddy was able to modify the installation just enough to get it to fit perfectly! Yay! So happy!!
Freddy and Emily do everything from electrical work to painting/drywall, to plumbing, to tile work to appliance repair/maintenance and even little odds and ends-type of issues such as ceiling fan installs or screen door repair etc...
These two individuals were a pleasure to meet and to employ. They were even great with our giant dog! Lol! So if you want to bypass the regular old, grouchy handyman and feel at ease and secure, without sacrificing competence, give Freddy and Emily a call! read more
