I never know whether to trust rave reviews on Yelp, but in the case of Brian Ludlow, owner of…read moreLudlow's Handyman Services, the five star ratings are spot on accurate. I needed a mailbox installed and had tried for 3 months to schedule various handyman recommended by neighbors. I finally took things into my own hands and searched for a reputable and highly rated handyman on Yelp. There were several options to choose from, but I was immediately drawn to Brian's business because it is locally owned and operated by him. Plus, I really liked his bio. I could tell he was someone who enjoyed his work and was focused on high quality outcomes for customer projects. Brian did not disappoint. Every step of the process was a good one. My first point of contact was through Yelp messaging. That's when I first knew I was on the right track because Brian promptly replied. Moreover, his communication skills were excellent from the get-go. He was able to fit me into his schedule a few days after my request. He arrived on time prepared with what he needed to do the job. Everything went smoothly, especially because Brian and I had reviewed the installation instructions through photos I attached to our Yelp messages. He was able to acquire the remaining needed materials that I did not have on hand. Brian clearly knew what he was doing and got the mailbox installed without any problems. He charged a reasonable amount and was a pleasure to work with. I had a great customer experience. I already have other projects lined up for him. Living in a 200-year-old home is going to provide plenty of opportunities to call on Brian's experience and excellent problem-solving skills.

I found Phil on Yelp. I need a new front door and storm door installed. Plus I also need a new…read morestorm door installed on the back door. Phil showed up on time and did a free estimate. He helped me make sure I ordered the right doors. He picked up everything at Lowe's, and sent pictures before he left to make sure that I was satisfied with how everything looked. The job was started and finished on time. He provided updates and pictures. He also noticed that the overhang by the back door was askew. He pointed this out and was willing to fix that also. The weatherstripping on the back door had always been a little discombobulated. I did not mention this, but when I got home Phil had gone ahead and fixed it. The entire job was done above and beyond my expectations. Everything was also completed for a little less than the quote! That was a pleasant surprise. I definitely plan to hire Phil again! All this being said, I give Phil my highest recommendation and suggest that you hire him too!

Also great to work with. Communication regarding project and during the job was very informative and thorough. Pricing of the project was discussed at beginning and they were pretty precise with their projected pricing of the project. They completed the project exactly how I was picturing it to look. Thank you again and will definitely use them again for another project.

Mike is a very personable handyman! He got an upstairs bathroom all fixed up. Even though I asked…read morehim to only check out a toilet, I ended up asking him about the bathtub faucet and shower, which were somewhat loose. He took the time and fixed everything!

Despite faithfully following the directions and lots of time on YouTube, I just couldn't get the pieces to fit together perfectly. Found Magic Hands here on Yelp. Spoke to Ricky, explained my situation. The fact that I'm in Lansdowne (not really his core area) and only needed an hour or two of help to get me on track, probably made this a bit less than his most enticing job of the week. Nevertheless, he worked with me to find a time that worked for both of us. He sent his guy Chris, who was terrific - polite, professional, very competent, and - best of all - very patient with me as he showed me how to do the job, what I'd been doing wrong, etc. I still pan to be a DIYer whenever possible, but I've saved Magic Hands' number in my phone, just in case!

Earlier this year I had a disasterous time finding a local handyman to reattach a shutter. The…read moreprice was either astronomical or the companies were flaky. If you need a job done and you want it done with minimal stress, call a professional company that's reliable. You may pay a bit less elsewhere but, to me, it's not worth the stress of wondering if they're going to reply to your request for a quote or if they're going to show up at the appointed time. Mr. Handyman showed up when they said they would and the price was reasonable. The pricing structure was fully explained and their staff person was polite and professional.

Chris has done a number of projects in my house over the years -- he even came up with a very…read moreclever idea that allowed me to add a half bath in my small Philadelphia home and keep my in-unit washer/dryer. He built my half bathroom and washer/dryer room. He also remodeled my closet, fixed my a/c unit, and installed a new water heater. I wanted him to remodel my master bathroom, but it's too much for him to commute from the suburbs to the city everyday for 2-3 weeks per bathroom. My neighbor also wanted to hire him to hers after seeing my half bath, but the commute is just too much. I chose Chris after seeing some of his rehabs. His rehabs were fantastic - very impressive. I've recommended him to friends in the suburbs too, who have been happy with his work. I work long hours and couldn't be around for the vast majority of his work, but I had no issues with leaving him alone in my house all day.

I have been so impressed as well with the rehab homes that Chris has done that I referred my nephew to him and he bought a home from Chris. Chris has also been great even for the small stuff like replacing my kitchen faucet. Chris has an overwhelming amount of knowledge and knows the markets in Upper Providence, Royersford, Spring City and Pottstown. Chris is honest and reliable, if he feels something won't work he will tell you straight, his honestly is refreshing!
