Ariel C.

Raul from Fix It People was fantastic to work with. He's a very knowledgeable handyman who clearly knows his craft. The repair was related to some shower tile damage and what I feared might be water damage behind it. I wasn't sure how serious it was, but Raul took the time to walk me through everything, explain what he was seeing, and really put my mind at ease. He explained all the details of the repair, answered every question I had, and gave great recommendations on materials that would hold up well in a shower environment. I appreciated how open he was with his knowledge and how willing he was to share advice. He arrived right on time, worked efficiently, and actually finished the job both under the estimated time and under the original quote. The shower looks fantastic now--honestly better than when I bought the house. Overall a great experience from start to finish. I would absolutely use Fix It People again and highly recommend Raul if you need a skilled, reliable handyman.

The price included removing all of the old caulk, taping, and installing new caulk. Scheduling was incredibly fast -- I received an appointment for the very next day. The handyman arrived on time, was very professional, and even removed his shoes before entering the house. He walked through each bathroom with me and confirmed the work he would be performing. He worked quietly and very efficiently, and he cleaned up thoroughly after each job. I am extremely pleased with the quality of the work and the overall experience.

He was able to send out a handyman at my next available time, which was less than a week later. The handyman arrived at the time quoted, and we went over the job. He was very respectful of our home, removing his shoes without being asked. He did the job efficiently and checked in along the way, which helped because there was a little confusion about which light to put on the garage. That was resolved quickly, and we were all set. I would recommend Loyal Handyman as a reliable, responsive company that gets the job done right.

I don't know why I ever bothered contacting anyone else for handyman services…read more Michael has come up more than once when someone in the neighborhood Facebook group has been seeking a handyman. It was my fault that I didn't go with him from the get-go. I had experiences with two others that were terrible: The first one installed a couple things that were falling out by the time he left, and the second one apparently doesn't need business because he didn't respond to me for over 10 days after coming to take a look at what I needed. But anyway, this review is about the AWESOMENESS that is Michael! He responded within a day of my contacting him, which was a great place to start. He asked me to let him know what I needed and set up a time within a week or so. Then he contacted me to let me know he'd had a cancellation and could come three days earlier if I wanted! Yes please!! Michael is so personable. I liked him from the moment I opened the door, literally. One of the first things he said to me was "Can I tell you something about this door?" Apparently he has lots of customers who don't realize their storm doors have a screen and wanted to show me (I already knew though!). The most important task I had for him on this visit was to reattach the handrail that had been removed by some movers, and which had before they removed it been loose and coming out of the wall. That handrail is now rock solid. I honestly think I could hang from it (and I'm not a small gal) and it would not budge. He patched the drywall from where it had been coming out of the wall, and then he checked the remaining four or five handrails in the house to make sure they are equally as strong. He also gave tips on some filters for the furnace, and suggestions for smoke detectors--which was very timely, because I had been researching them before he visited. He's not inexpensive but he's worth every darn penny. I won't ever use another handyman whilst I live here, and I'm already feeling sad in my heart that if/when we do move, it'll probably be to a near suburb or outlying neighborhood like Norwood Park that he doesn't service and I'm mourning the loss of this awesome dude as my go-to handymensch.

While Michael certainly doesn't need another 5 star review, I'm going to give him one, anyway. Our…read moregarbage disposal was broken. Before coming out, he suggested we try something to see if we easily could fix it ourselves, essentially, potentially talking himself out of a job. When we couldn't, he came out. Between the email exchange and the visit, I came up with a list of to do's, including the disposal, toilet issues, door and shelf issues, lighting problems, etc. In addition to fixing them all, he gave me a long list of ideas and recommendations and easy fix its from air filters to fire/carbon monoxide detectors, to ceiling fans, to water heaters, and the list goes on. All in an hour. It was a tremendous value for the money. I can't recommend Michael enough.

The job consisted of: * Demo some existing framing * Re-frame around steel * Tie steel into walls for support I had gotten a few quotes from others for the job, but decided I would go with Tim at an hourly rate. In the end, it cost me less money to pay Tim hourly to complete the job, and I think I was likely more happy in the end as I was able to go onsite with Tim and sort through a number of issues (Tim could have easily done that himself, I just enjoy working on my house). Some things I really liked about working with Tim: * He's extremely prompt, and often arrived to the site early (I've worked with so many contractors on this project, arriving when they say is rare these days) * Tim is incredibly hard working. He worked 8 hours non-stop on my project for multiple days. There was no smoke breaks, lounging around, etc - Tim's there to work and get stuff done. Far too often I see other contractors spending only 3/4 of the time actually working, this was definitely not the case with Tim! * He adapted to changes easily some things took longer, some things went quicker and Tim was super flexible and easy to work with. I never felt Tim was working slower or anything to increase his billable hours. I stopped for lunch, Tim worked straight through and had a bunch more stuff done when I returned each day. * Easy going and generally great to work with. I had some last minute things I thought Tim could help with on the last day, not a problem, Tim was happy to stay and help with some odds and end carpentry even after working for about 7 hours straight that day. When all was said and done, I was very happy with the work Tim did, and I felt it cost me less than a lot of other people would've charged and had quoted. Don't be afraid of paying him hourly, I can tell you its honestly cheaper and easier than how much bloat is built into other quotes these days.

The repairman that I initially spoke with over the phone was super responsive and very polite. I was so impressed by the Yelp reviews and by the phone call that I immediately scheduled an appointment with him. After I finished setting up the service appointment we discussed the time, location, and other details. I immediately placed an order from my local hardware store and to have all the items (appliances) shipped to my home. The day before the scheduled appointment the repairman messaged me that he made a mistake and that he was supposed to schedule my appointment for the following day. He also mentioned that I did not send him a deposit to lock in my appointment as if I lost the appointment due to not paying him a deposit. I was confused! We never discussed a deposit or a deposit amount when I spoke with the handyman over the phone. I did not see the other Yelpers reference in their post anything about Zelle quick paying their repairman for a deposit. I thought something was odd I immediately thanked him for his time and told him I would not need his company to complete the repairs!
