Solomon was on the slow side getting back to us to schedule the work. The deck boards he installed were warped, uneven, damaged, and not even installed flat. He claimed to have fixed the deck support but all he did was place one of our landscaping rocks under one corner which we could have done ourselves. Attached photos show the end result that he left us with. It seems like it was due to bad materials more than lack of skill but it should not have been what we were left with. We reached out that night to let him know we were not satisfied with the work and and after some difficult and delayed communications, he did agree come back and make it right. two weeks later he replaced the deck boards again. This time it was done right, as it should have in the first place. We really appreciate his willingness to come back and correct the mistakes. We're happy with the re-do but probably will not hire him again due to this negative experience overall. read more

See all

Arranged a time for them to show up and do some work. They didn't show. Simple as that. They also did not respond to any contact attempts on phone, e-mail, or Yelp after the appointment was made. It's been four days now and I haven't heard from them. In all honesty the silence is so deafening I'm hoping no one is hurt or otherwise out of things due to something unfortunate. Looking back I can see that they said the appointment was 'tentative', and that they'd call ahead of time. Fair enough. That bothers me a lot less than the complete silence afterwards. Without any kind of response one way or another I had to assume they were coming, and sit around all day waiting for it to happen. Edit: I was finally contacted six days later and after posting this review. The business owner was very upset because of this review. They claimed I was lying, they threatened me with using slander laws against me. In the interest of full disclosure I will reprint all the relevant details of our communication and you can decide. Regardless, I am within my rights to write a bad review of a business that I feel treated me poorly. Even if I'm wrong. So, good Yelpers, you decide: Me: (Initial request for quote based on work, unnecessary to reprint) Business: Hi Jay, Booked out until next week, but could you provide the service address, for that's how we schedule? (They listed their rates. I won't reprint that because they may change them in the future or for specific jobs) Let us know your thoughts and we'll go from there. Thank you for your time. Me: Next week is fine, (contact info I won't reprint here) Business: Hi Jay, How does Monday between 8:30 and 9 sound? Me: Monday is our daughter's first day of school, so not a great day. Wednesday morning I'm busy. Otherwise the rest of the week is open. Business: We can tentatively set it for Tuesday at 9 Me: That sounds good. Business: Alright, you're in there and this is for the actual work correct? You're list was pretty descriptive and we'll come as prepared as possible less any speciality materials we'd have to go get. Me: (details of the job, not necessary to reprint) Business: Will attempt to call you prior to appointment sir. That was the last time I heard from them until after the review, then: Business: Very extremely rude of you sir to post such false things. Tenative means that we're still deciding if we want your jobs! We have the right to decide what work we take and your projects may not be a fit for us. We never made an agreed time out of respect for YOUR SCHEDULE but we are a business not your personal servant. Business: Very very rude Business: There are also SLANDER LAWS in this state sir. NOT FAIR that you have posted such things Business: We thhink it wise for you to delete the slander upon our company who are not your personal servants but a simple Service that you called for help but your schedule did did not match with the OPTIONS we only had available to you. I believe if you look at my original review and the communication there was not a single falsehood. I mentioned they said "tentative", but I also think their communication implied an appointment. You be the judge. They never refused me service, but honestly that would have been preferable. I never treated them like they were my "servants". I've worked with enough handymen and contractors to know that sometimes jobs aren't a fit. But setting an appointment, even tentatively, then never communicating again is unprofessional, and I will write a review for that. read more

Soloman is exactly what everyone else mentions - timely, courteous, and flexible with his scheduling. He handled an issue at our investment property quickly and effectively and even followed up with pictures to let us know how the work looked. Such great service! I've worked with many contractors and know how tough it is to find someone reliable that communicates well. Solomon is on top of all that stuff, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone I know. Keep up the great work! read more

I called Getter Fixed today and in 20 min D. Solomon showed up. I needed a couple of small holes in the wall fixed and a door latch. He has great customer service skills and is very quick in his work. He charged me what he quoted me and it was a very far amount. I will use this business again if needed in the future! read more

Despite the major snow storm of 2014, Solomon arrived on time and ready for handyman work on a morning when he could have easily cancelled. Words that describe Solomon: efficient, competent, respectful and trustworthy (we had to leave the house for a little bit and trusted him to be in the house without us). Thank you so much Solomon for your help!! read more

I had a terrible experience with Getter Fixed Handyman. I don't even have the energy to write everything that went wrong. I would highly highly suggest hiring any other handyman. read more

The work was done well, but the times when Solomon showed up became more erratic as the job went along. I have a flexible schedule, so I could handle it. But if you have a tight time schedule, I suggest you bargain hard about when things will get done. read more

Soloman was quick to help us and very professional. We will be saving his business cards for all other odd projects we need help with!

Solomon came to my rescue when I needed somebody with the tools and skills to install a new pull-up bar in my fitness studio. I'm still not sure how he managed to drill into cinder block quietly, but I was able to handle phone calls and catch up on some office work while he worked. Plus, he did the whole job in his socks because he didn't want to get the mats in my studio dirty. Most considerate handyman ever! Oh, and this was all on a Sunday afternoon to accommodate my schedule. A month later, and the pull-up bar is holding strong and steady--and my clients love it! read more

Solomon assembled two beds for us after our recent move back to Portland. I could not recommend him more highly. He is prompt, courteous, professional and has a great attitude. After putting the beds together he was meticulous in cleaning up and took the packaging out to the recycling bins. The price he charged was also very reasonable. A pleasure to do business with. read more

Solomon is GREAT!! My partner and I had tried to hang drapes -- leaving one off-center bracket and a lone drill bit in the wall. He not only was right on time (early, actually; and texted me to see if it was OK to come up early) but came completely ready and prepared. He got things set straight and hung. It all looks wonderful! He did it all for a flat fee. If we need anything handyman-ish done again we will not hesitate to call Solomon. He is a nice guy, too. read more

Soloman and crew handled a complicated fix for us with excellent communication, follow-through and skill. He masterfully fixed the damage from a tree branch falling on an ornate part of the house, matching paint and repairing decorative details, all amidst telephone wires. He sent photos of the work included with the invoice which is an unexpected bonus for our records, since we weren't present while the work was being done. He is very polite and communicative, while other handymen were difficult to contact and keep in touch with. His service from beginning to end was excellent and we look forward to a long term relationship with our new handyman! read more

Best handyman ever! Always calls back. Very creative for solving problems. Competitive bids. He has been able to handle all of my issues on rental properties. He even keeps me updated with photos . I can't say enough about Solomon! read more

I learned long ago that I'm not to be trusted with ladders or power tools. Unfortunately, I also tend to have lots of project ideas that require such things. Enter Solomon. After my previous handyman retired, I found Solomon here on Yelp and he has since completed a variety of projects inside and outside of my home. These have included drywall work, siding repairs, a bathroom vanity installation, and more. In addition to being skilled at his craft, he is extraordinarily professional and I genuinely enjoy working with him. read more

Solomon is the man for the job. I called him to remove a truckload of yard debris the previous owner of my home left in the backyard. We live in a townhouse where the only access to the street is through the house, so wheelbarrows were a no go. He got the job done in record time, made sure the interior of the house was clean when he left, and all for less than one of the big landscaping companies wanted to charge me just for drive time. I'll definitely be calling Solomon up for all the work we need done in the future. read more

Strong communication throughout the process. Got the repairs done as efficiently as possible. read more

Solomon did carpentry work repairing complicated wood decking, undercarriage and stairs, and did an excellent job. His rates are reasonable. He is extremely pleasant, very reliable, on time, and a pleasure to work with. He communicates and responds rapidly, completely and clearly. I would highly recommend him to others. read more

We had Solomon fix a few small dings in our drywall and lay down some replacement floor boards that had been badly scratched up during our recent move. He communicated clearly and quickly, showed up on time, and completed the work professionally. He kept me updated as he progressed through the different projects. Very courteous and pleasant. Price was reasonable and on par. All around an A+ job. We will be calling Solomon for any future handyman needs! read more

They did a good job repairing a lock for us. There was a dispute regarding the bill as the verbal quote was for $60-$80 and the bill was for $120. We paid the $120, but asked why it was so high. They indicated that parts was not included in the quote. They later reached out and ask what would be a fair refund. We ask for $20 to split the difference between the high-end of the quote and the bill, and they sent $40 which was more than fair. read more

Our review for Solomon is long over due. As the Office Manager for a Portland business, I've relied on Solomon a few times to help with everything from hanging white boards to assembling and installing office equipment. He is a joy to work with and has always been reliable. read more
