Contacted Barry to request a quote for a minor job entailing switching out a tee-valve with an S-valve after the refrigerator water line leaked. He requested photos, which I sent and then gave his honest opinion that we didn't need a new valve! He then explained how to remediate the situation step by step, and was willing to answer any questions we might have. Truly appreciate his advice and honesty. Others could have made a mountain out of a molehill for what work was needed. We'll definitely keep him in mind for bigger projects! read more

Element's Essentials did a great job replacing both bathroom exhaust fans and replaced the base molding in the master bath. Barry promptly retuned my calls/texts and arrived when he said he would. I will be recommending Element's Essentials to family and friends. read more

Barry put up a brand new fence and did our floors in our house before. He did such a good job so I called him to do tile in our master bathroom. He did an amazing job. The tiles were laid perfectly and the lines are clean and straight. He cleaned up everything really well when he was done. He was very meticulous and came back for two days to make sure everything set just right. I highly recommend him. Very honest and good prices. read more

We hired Barry to build a fence in our backyard and replace the carpet on two whole floors with hardwood before our new renters moved in. After meeting in person to hash out project specifics, I gave him a code to the house and let him handle things unsupervised for the most part while coming to check in person occasionally. Barry was very communicative with things that popped up and easy to work with. Any miscommunications on my part were easily taken care of by Barry to my satisfaction. From what I understand from reviews, he generally doesn't take payment until after job is complete. This was the case with the fence. For the floors, we paid for the cost of the materials in the middle of it and the labor portion after it was done which was fine for us. Barry even went above and beyond and handled some smaller stuff for me which I really appreciated. I'm happy with Barry's work and would hire him again for any house projects. read more

We bought a house that was previously owned by an overly confident DIY homeowner, and every single thing that the previous homeowner touched we have found to be done absolutely wrong, from paint and drywall, texture, flooring, trim, you name it. None of it works. None of our kitchen cabinets were aligned or installed properly. The floor did not have the appropriate vapor barrier. The more I looked into things, the more I realized how broken all of it was. I called Barry to help us get us to good in our laundry room and kitchen, where we needed new vinyl floors, some drywall repair, a new sink installed, some new appliances installed. I also had him hang some new garage cabinets. He is clearly in demand and it took him a few weeks to get to us, but it was worth the wait, and his prices absolutely reasonable. This man. is. METICULOUS. Everything needed to be - and was - done with precision and detail. The floors he installed look perfect. My cabinets now actually work. Barry is not OK doing things halfway. He's not even OK doing the job 90% of the way. It's 100% or nothing and I saw it across multiple projects I've had him work on. He is also the cleanest "handyman" I have ever had in my home. Not a speck of dust or footprint was left in any room he worked in; he vacuumed and washed all the completed floor. I needed to do nothing other than just enjoy his new work. It is rare to find someone who can take on virtually any home improvement project, small or large, and do it to such a high standard of care. This pride and professionalism is in short supply today. I've saved his phone number in my phone as a contact and will absolutely hire him again when I have more funds to continue to undo the previous homeowner's catastrophic "improvements". read more

Great guy, showed up on time and very professional. Will definitely use this company for future projects. read more

Barry is always my go-to guy for projects and problems around the house. He's timely in getting back to me, punctual, dependable, hard-working, and overall just a great guy. I can't recommend Barry enough to friends and family, and I'll always reach out to Element's Essentials first when something comes up on our property! read more

My outdoor spigot water faucet developed another crack after the winter season. Previously, I repaired it but this time I wanted to do things right, so I looked into replacing it and called Element's Essentials. Berry came out and did a fantastic job replacing my outdoor water faucet - with the exact model. At first, we ended up getting a faulty faucet from the store but he was patient and professional enough to go get another one and installed it again to make sure everything was working again. I highly recommend Element's Essentials for a top notch service! read more

Barry came to our house to help us with a refresh/remodel of our dated laundry room. Reading other reviews I learned quickly that he was a man of his word and isn't one to cut corners (take shortcuts). He isn't a contractor that likes to get paid upfront (unless maybe to cover product costs). He is meticulous about his work. We enjoyed having Barry in our house over the course of the week. When we move on to the next project I will be using Barry. I will be recommending his services to our neighbors and friends and to you as well. Call him read more

Clearly not a professional organization. Barry's promises cannot be trusted. He dragged me on for months after providing an estimate, which he later disavowed. Made a number of excuses for not starting the project on time, changed the project start time at last minute without warning, then in the end, walk away altogether. Don't put any money down ahead of build. Maybe you will get lucky, but I wouldn't count on Barry or Element's Essentials...look elsewhere! read more

Barry has great communication and integrity! Follows codes, he has given us good advice and suggestions!

I noticed some rotting around the frames of two of our windows and did a quick Yelp search. I sent out messages to a few handymen through Yelp and Barry was one of the very few that quickly responded. Barry was available on my requested days and he provided the best quote. My husband was the one at home while Barry was working on the house, so I never got to meet him, but it was easy to communicate with him through Yelp. My hubby said he arrived on time and was easy to talk to. Barry would let my husband know that he was going to run to the store for some material and come back. Barry also went back to the store again to get paint to match our house as the one we had was very old and he finished the job in one day. He did a great job and our window frames look as good as new! Barry sent us an invoice by email at the end of the day and we paid him online, which was super convenient. Because of his quick responses, easy communication and payment, we will definitely reach out to Barry for future home repairs and projects. read more

Took a bit for him to finish some other work before getting to my place but process was overall very simple and easy, done quickly and efficiently. Very reasonable pricing as well. Will use again. read more

I would add 10 stars if possible! Barry is amazing! He fit me into his schedule with a few day's notice. He showed up on-time, was so helpful, nice and patiently answered my questions!

A+++ !! read more

I've hired Barry for various small projects for a few years now. He's never failed me. Today I needed a fence repair and true to form, Barry did an excellent job. It's nice to know that I can rely on him for excellent service on small projects that other guys would deem too small. At 73 years old, that's valuable for a homeowner. Thanx again Barry read more

My wife and I purchased a new home and decided to have a custom barn door made. The barn door company only makes the doors, but will not install them. So we looked at several contractors to have it installed and we found Barry. He did such amazing job making sure this was installed correctly. He is very detailed oriented, clean and professional. We will be hiring Barry again for our next project. Thanks Barry for the amazing work that you did. read more

Barry is great! He came the next day, early as he said he would. He replaced my leaking faucet in a very short time.

What a great find! Barry responded quickly to my requests and was prompt and professional upon arrival. He helped me put together a shelving unit that other services had quoted over $1,000 to put together and would take 3 men! He looked at other projects around my house and suggested low cost fixes that could be tried before expensive replacement. His pricing was very reasonable for the projects I had, If you need a handyman, this is your guy! Schedule him for your project before you can't anymore because he's too busy!! read more

Barry was great! He did a fantastic job patching our roof, and we're definitely keeping his card for any future projects.

Barry was professional, prompt and courteous. He repaired my dryer venting and garage door security lights.

Element's Essentials, Barry Hall removed all the moss around my sidewalks and staircases which was a lot this time of year. As he said he did the kind of job that he would do on his own place. Excellent service and awesome cleanup. He even came the day before so that the moss remover solution would have plenty of time to work. His rates were more than reasonable. I gave him the highest recommendation because he deserves it. read more
