Reliable, trustworthy and personable. I have a very old house (3 rental units) that with every repair comes a handful of surprises. This visit was for a suddenly tilting toilet. Calvin went out of his way to make the arrangement for a plumber's assist on this project to reset the toilet. While the team was here, they found a hiding issue inside the walls that will be repaired a month from now so I can make arrangements with my tenants. Had it not been found, it might have caused a LOT of damage in the future. You shouldn't be calling anyone else for your house repair needs. read more

Calvin did an amazing job fixing up our porch last year. Our neighbor even came by to say he could see how much effort Calvin was putting into making sure he did the job perfectly. His price was very fair and reasonable, he is extremely responsive, and the quality of work is superb. I would definitely recommend reaching out for your handyman needs. read more

Don't waste your money. Hired Calvin, nearly (2) years ago, to wallpaper main suite bathroom, just (1) wall - Calvin said he had not wallpapered before and i said I would show him how to do it - Calvin arrives an hour or more late and we commenced to prep the bathroom - The wall to be papered, had a double vanity and a toilet - The toilet had to be removed in order to paper behind it - I did the measuring most of the cutting - Calvin did most of the application - Calvin took out the toilet and angry about doing that and demanded payment of $150 just for that task - The wallpapering took several hours before it was finished - Also this job included installing a new remote for a cellar fan which he did taking all of 10 minutes - Installing a light fixture in the cellar workshop was also included but he had to leave for an athletic activity of his son's - We paid him in full of $1,100 plus the exorbitant $150 toilet surcharge seeing as how this would not take Calvin more than a 1/2 hour to install the lighting fixture - BIG MISTAKE, Calvin never showed up again even after several phone calls to Calvin - Almost a year ago, saw I saw Calvin"s website and sent him an email - Calvin answered it with a specific date and time to show up to finish the job he was paid for - Guess What?

On the strength of their Yelp rating online, several months ago I reached out to thsi ccompany for some work to be done around the house. I called them and didn't actually get to talk to the handyman person; instead, I talked to his assistant (who acted like an intermediary). He stressed that the repairman (Calvin I think was his name) was busy through at least a couple of weeks but that I should text some pictures of what we wanted done to a certain number and he would get back to us. I did as requested, but no response came. We followed up with additional emails, and then another call when I was told that Calvin was very busy but would get back to me. Two months later, and I haven't heard back from them. Would I love to hire them? Yes. Would I pay them to do the jobs we need? Yes! Will they ever get back to me? We shall see... read more

Love the ability to request an estimate and walkthrough online. Communication was fast and responsive. Calvin was on time and ready to work. We stayed out of his way so he could do his thing. We are very happy with our downstairs bathroom - we had a new vanity installed, as well as new fixtures to update and modernize it more. We will be using Calvin's company moving forward. Great value for the finished product. read more

Great service. I broke my garage door by accident backing into it and was worried about having to replace the bottom panel. I called several garage door service places and the prices were astronomical for the little bit of repair that needed to be done. Capital district handyman was the BEST! I got a great price and did not even have to replace the panel. He came within a great time frame from phone call to service. The price was affordable and reasonable. I am impressed by the professionalism and excellent work done. I would definitely hire Capital District Handyman again! Trust me I already saved the number in my phone for all my future handyman needs! I just can't get over the price. Super affordable, best price out there for my repair. Will recommend their services to all my friends! Thank you for helping!!!! read more

I requested quotes on Yelp for my my busted bed frame caused by my great Dane launching himself off the bed for over 5 years. Calvin was responsive and professional thought-out the whole job. The final price was well worth the headache of attempting to fix it myself. read more

Capital District NY Handyman did an excellent job of reattaching some siding and replacing the chimney guard that came off in the recent wind storm. The quote came back quickly and was fair.

Amazing service. We had a rotted piece of fascia board that birds had made their home in. I couldn't get bigger companies to even give me a quote. Calvin saved us money by replacing the part of the board without having to remove the whole section. It looks great, and the birds haven't been back. He was professional and honest. Since then, we've had him replace two sinks and fix a leak caused by a plumber. He even spotted some mold under the sink where the leak was and offered to apply anti-mold spray, but he double-checked with us first because he noticed that we had all natural cleaning products in the house. Thoughtful and talented, Calvin is now my first call if anything needs fixing. read more
