Be Happy expanded our deck last summer, in addition to some landscaping work they did for us, and this summer we asked them to add a pergola to the deck. They did a great job, the guys who worked on it were reliable and careful, cleaned up everything nicely when finished with the project. Lee, the lead on the crew, was very knowledgable and helpful. Really appreciate the attention to detail! Great quality and very nice to work with! read more

We've been extremely pleased with Be Happy's yard maintenance over the last few years. So pleased, in fact, that we started using them for snow removal this year as well. From the office team to the crews, it's all about the customer and performing to the customer's expectations. During this year's snowstorms, there was constant email communication letting customers know what to expect and when (their plow crews were working around the clock). Jacob (the principal), is customer focused to the extreme. He has continuously solicited feedback and, when we've had some minor issues, resolves them right away. Today was a perfect example. I called the office to have them come out and "widen" the driveway a bit (snow mounds were encroaching just a bit onto the driveway). I was very clear -- this was not an urgent request, it was just tidying up the driveway a bit. Less than 20 minutes later there was a plow in the driveway taking care of the matter! We wholeheartedly recommend Be Happy for yard care needs or snow removal! read more

This company is so unprofessional. They won't even answer phone calls when they cancel appointments.

We recently purchased our home and wanted to make it more our style. "Renovations" and "updates" come far and few in between in the Anchorage real estate scene, so some changes were definitely necessary. I had purchased a beautiful vanity from Costco for our main bathroom and had a hard time finding a contractor or handyman to install it. There's a limited amount of reviews for these services. So I went to Facebook for recommendations from friends. A friend who owns a few restaurants recommended these guys and I am so impressed! Tim Russell was our handyman and he was such a cool guy. Really honest and straight forward. He didn't try to "upsell" me or do any unnecessary work. He kept me well informed through out the entire process, explained everything he was doing and when we ran into issues that increased my bid estimate he worked with me to keep the cost reasonable. He was a good guy, very trustworthy. My vanity turned out amazing. And it only took a few days of work due to some hardware and flooring set backs. I have a few other projects planned and will definitely be giving these guys a call. read more

Bummed to give a negative review...buuuut it is what it is. I tried to hire these guys to do a trim job at my duplex prior to selling/rerenting. I called and talked to Bob, who was very friendly and professional and told me they could do the job the following week, and that he'd get back to me that night with his schedule. I let him know I was under a time crunch etc and he assured me he'd get back to me. I didn't hear anything for two days and so I called back. He said the same thing, he needed to talk to his guys and see what their schedules were and he would get back to me that day. Two more days went by and I called again...same story. I never called back for a third time and instead found someone else to do the job. It's summer in Alaska, I get it, people are busy and my job was really small and maybe not worth much money. But if you can't do the job, just tell the customer you are too busy!! It sucks waiting around for someone to call, wasting time and then having to start over with another handyman a week later. read more

They have done two jobs for me and I am very happy with their quick response and excellent work. I recommend them.

Our Homeowners Association has a contract with Be Happy for maintenance and one of their workers came over to replace a tiny bit of window trim on our unit in March 2016. When attaching the new trim their worker hit our window with a nail and broke it. There was a 12 inch crack running clear across the window. The worker left without notifying us about the mistake and then it took almost a year (until December 2016) and many, many reminders to get them to come back and finally replace the window. The trim has yet to be painted (January 2018). I would not recommend this company. read more

Jacob and the landscaping guys did an amazing job on our project! I had a vision of what I wanted and they were patient and allowed me to play "general contractor" on the job. :) Jacob even met me at Faltz Nursery to help me pick out the best plants the night before our project was scheduled. I would definitely recommend them! read more

Very satisfied. I contacted them through email and made an appointment for my particular project. Their man showed up when he said he would and got to work right away. My kitchen sink was installed efficiently and everyone is satisfied. Since I've been living in the Anchorage area, I have had a lot of difficulty in contracting for handyman jobs. I was very pleasantly surprised by how smoothly this went. I will be calling them again and soon. read more

I had them come out to my house to level the ground and extend my fence in the backyard. When they came out to do the measurements I tried to give them a copy of the property lines, but they didn't want to look at it. They used some old markers in the ground instead and said it would be alright. After doing the job, and laying down some dirt and seed which was a bonus, I measured the newly installed fence and noticed it was outside the property line. I emailed Mr. Bishop who wrote back, "We have put in more than enough effort on this and will not be doing anything else. Please call another contractor if you need your fence line reset." Very unprofessional and not what I expected. I would have rated them a 1 for that comment alone, but they did include the dirt and seed, so I gave them a 2. read more

I had them renovate my kitchen and add floor laminates to my condo. During the process of installing my laminates there was a little space in between one of them, I mentioned it to my contractor and he said "Yeah, I'm going to fix that". I don't know anything about maintenance so I assumed he'd do it sometime in between, but after he installed it he said "Oh I was supposed to do that before it was done" Well then why didn't you that's why I mentioned it to you before you were done?! Another contractor who was working on my condo installed my tiles in my kitchen and let it set overnight. When he came the next morning, one tile had shifted and he said "Someone must've moved it" when I told him we didn't touch it, he said "No you definitely did". Whatever. Very aggravating to work with them. They would even tell you a time and show up 1 hr later or even later. When they came in to give me a quick quote they also said they can renovate my kitchen and do my floorings in 2 days... which ended up being a full week. Which is fine, but don't give a time if you cant really do it. I had to take off more time off work than expected. Anyhow, I do not recommend them. read more
