My first review was well over four years ago - and I thought it made sense to surface John again…read morepublicly, most notably due to the continued care and attention he gives our rental property out in East Austin. We are in the midst of a tenant turnover (not the best time as a landlord), and having the home sit idle for any amount of time seems like an eternity. But that's not how it is with John. Two days after the tenants moved out, John supported us by conducting a walkthrough of the place, highlighting areas that needed some attention, and got to work. He brought his mower and lawn edger to do some landscaping, flushed the water heater, fixed the front door lock (after troubleshooting it live with a support agent), tightened up some loose cabinetry in the kitchen and bedrooms, and even cleared out the garage of dust and loose debris. John is incredibly thoughtful and is a great communicator - thorough and complete. He actually takes care of the home like it is his own, and honestly, that level of detail and support helps me ensure that I can stand behind the value & security of home when it goes back on the market for the next tenants. John - thank you for continuing to be you. We appreciate you more than you know.

What an aptly named company, because yes, I do in fact, love this handyman service…read more We had paid Home Depot to deliver and install our new dishwasher. When they showed up they said, "Nope there's a piece of wood trim in the way, and we can't," and they left. Literally that's all they said... and left. So I begin the process of calling around to plumbers and handy men. John is the only person that could squeeze our small project in, and when I say "squeeze" I mean it. He (like many others) was booked solid, BUT he went SO far out of his way to make it to our house. Even hanging around for a while in our part of town when I missed his call and it took me over an hour to get back to him. I couldn't believe it. He's clearly not short on business, so the fact that he was concerned enough about his costumer to just wait around and see if we would get back to him boggles my mind. He had SURGERY scheduled for the next day, and was so concerned that if he didn't get to our call that night he wouldn't be able to for some time. Again, he's not short on work, he just cared that it would be a nightmare for us to go that long w/o a dishwasher. Now you would think, busy as he is, with surgery the next day, and late in reply to him as we were, that he would rush the job. NOPE. He stayed here for hours making sure he did the job right, and he was a very pleasant "house guest" as well. Funny stories about his work. Tips about other "jobs" around our house that came up in conversation, and actually tips too, not just fishing for more work: "Oh yeah you could do that yourself, you just need XYZ and to watch out for these things." The dishwasher is installed, run beautifully, and the price was absolutely fair and appropriate. I probably would have paid more. Especially considering how long he was here, and that our instillation did have a few unexpected issues. Again you might worry with other companies, that all the polite conversation it racking up the price, but no way, not with John. Read the name of this business and believe it. You will love this handyman service.

Our home was broken into and the frame of the front door was broken which is why we initially reached out to Ron. He responded quickly & professionally and came out the very next day ready to get the job done. He not only fixed what was broken, but went above and beyond - he reset & realigned the door, added foam insulation, installed security plates, and new Schlage deadbolt making our door better (and safer) than ever before. He even took care of a wasp nest & loved on our dog Mags. Ontop of doing a fantastic job fixing our door he is a wonderful person full of integrity, has an unbeatable work ethic, and is extremely fair with pricing. We will definitely reach out to him first when we have another project we need help with around the house. He will get the job done and will do it right - all with a smile on his face & he will put a smile on yours! His hard work gave us peace of mind knowing that our door and home is safer than it was even before the break in. We could not recommend him enough!

Customers Beware! Property Damage. False Invoices. First Time Workers. Hiring HandyMatt does not…read moremean you get Matt himself as his website and texts suggest. Instead, I received someone who was working their first day ever for Matt with no supervision or heads up. We had a fairly simple workload to get completed. Towel Rods to install and twenty or so art/pictures to be hung. After five hours (5!) we had three towel rods installed and 3 pictures hung. Barely one item per hour. I was texting Matt all throughout the day that the pace of his worker was far too slow. He acknowledged the pace was unacceptable and agreed to comp three hours from the morning to get a more appropriate pace of work to price and to allow the worker to finish the work with feedback his pace had to improve. At the end of the day the worker then spilled paint all over our brand new wood floors in the nursery and onto a Lola blanket that thankfully saved our nursery rocker from being destroyed. He got it cleaned up better than I could have expected, but that was an extra hour at bedtime with babies crying and a room smelling of strong acetone to get things back to "normal". After the fact, I never received an apology from Matt. I was sent repeated texts and emails about paying his invoice. I had provided a link to the blanket ruined which he did not properly deduct the replacement cost from the invoice. He also sent through the invoice with less hours removed than agreed to and said he had "re-assessed" what he thought was fair. That his work speed went up after my complaints so that should have somehow forgiven the snail pace to start the day that was then capped by damage to our property. Overall, the one and only redeeming quality was that the worker was kind and his craftsmanship was good. We let him keep working because his work and presence was not an issue, but his speed and quality for the hourly rate were not at all in alignment. $110/hour is a premium rate for a handyman which means a premium experience. Premium quality and premium efficiency. I made it very known he could continue working but only if his speed was more appropriate or the rate was reduced to match his performance. I left offended by all of my experiences with the person that has their name on the business. Attempting to re-negotiate an agreed upon reduced rate AFTER damage in my home occurred is a bold move to maintain a reputable business. I let Matt know multiple times I would be letting my experience go public with a review and anyone who is considering hiring HandyMatt should really think twice before proceeding.

This was by far the worst contractor experience I've had…read more I hired Rick to remodel our closet with bifold doors. During the initial consultation, he agreed the design was feasible and promised the project would be completed in 3-4 days. Five days into the project, he suddenly claimed the bifold doors were not possible and proposed changing the entire design to cabinet-style doors instead. This should have been identified before demolition began, not after work was already underway. From that point on, I was repeatedly told, "We'll finish tomorrow." That promise was made day after day for 19 days. Eventually, after nearly three weeks of delays and little meaningful progress, I asked them to stop work and remove their tools. I then had three independent contractors inspect the work. Two of them told me it was among the poorest closet workmanship they had seen. The issues included: * Panels cut to incorrect dimensions * Cabinet pieces shaped incorrectly * Poor fit and alignment * Work that would cost more to demolish and rebuild than to complete properly In the end, I paid for a project that accomplished virtually nothing except leaving me with demolition and additional repair costs. The worksite was also poorly managed. Although I was promised a clean work environment, they created excessive dust throughout the room and garage and rarely covered furniture or flooring unless I specifically asked. At the end of each day, I was often left cleaning after them myself. Safety was another serious concern. My toddler found a loose nail in the hallway during the project. Thankfully we noticed it before anything happened, but leaving sharp construction debris where young children are present is completely unacceptable. As the project progressed, work slowed dramatically. Some days they only worked a couple of hours, and there were 4-5 days where no one showed up at all without meaningful communication. To make matters worse, after all of the delays and poor workmanship, I was asked to purchase my own cabinet handles to save them roughly $30. The biggest disappointment wasn't just the quality of the work--it was the constant broken promises. If the project had been honestly scoped from the beginning, I could have chosen another contractor before losing nearly three weeks of time. I have extensive photos documenting the progress from day one through day nineteen and will be uploading them so others can judge the workmanship for themselves. I cannot recommend this company.
