Electrician Leo Nunez did a fantastic job upgrading the situation at my condo - ran a new cable through to my kitchen so my toaster over could have its own dedicated outlet. He showed me how the wires were actually burning and were a fire hazard before due to pulling so much power to the same outlet. He also hard-wired a new power strip in my office and another in my bedroom, replacing the tangled and unsightly mess of extension cords. Everything looks so much neater and organized. Leo was friendly, professional, and super punctual for both visits.

Outstanding experience with Fix It People!…read more From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and efficient. Scheduling was incredibly quick (they were able to get me in the very next day), and communication from the team was clear and proactive throughout the entire process. A special shoutout to Miguel, who handled the work -- he was fantastic. He arrived right on time, was extremely professional, kept the workspace clean, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. This wasn't a simple install -- it required mounting hardware into a brick wall with proper anchors and sealing -- and Miguel executed it perfectly. The quality of the work is excellent, and everything feels solid and secure. You can tell they take pride in doing things the right way, not just the fast way. Also appreciated how organized the whole process was -- from quote to scheduling to final invoice, it all felt very well run. Value for money, this was worth it. Highly recommend Fix It People, and if you can, ask for Miguel! Will definitely use them again.

The only thing I believe could be made more clear was that there is a high transportion cost on top of what you pay for the actual move time which is for their time to drive to your location and back. My move came out to exactly 3 hours which was the estimate but that did not factor in the $100 transportation fee which I feel is excessive and should just be factored into the estimate.

Can't help but write a review after my Dad wrote one and my sister wrote a complaint…read more Based on how our dissatisfaction- it doesn't seem this place cares about accountability or about the services they are providing. Just to start with the experience itself was really slow and it was explained to my sister that there would be three movers and only two showed up. The process was slow and I felt frustrated - and based on interactions with the individuals assigned to my specific job- I am not quite sure exactly what was the point of hiring movers. It took the movers from around 9:30 to 2:30 to pack a full truck. I would describe the demeor of the two men as slap happy or almost unprofessional- it felt that you were always almost being laughed at or condescended. It almost seemed the two men were deliberately taking there time to add hours on the clock and pay. If that wasn't enough- here are a few main events that were alarming- - while at my old apartment, the movers literally asked me how/to help move the couch down the outdoor stairwell. I don't want to gripe or be a snot, but kinda thought- this is exactly why professional movers were hired...... - the second thing- getting into my new place- when the men came to my lobby, when they came to my lobby- I was literally asked- can we just leave the stuff in the lobby? Just sheer lazyness for a lack of better term- I was just absolutely appalled by the sheer lack of professionalism and wondered what thought process did the movers have ? Are they aware of their assigned job description or why they are hired for? The last offense- I gave them the keys to get in my new apartment before dropping my sisters things off at her new apartment half a mile away and of course they didn't give me back my key- and my parents had to go help me get it from them, and apparently they thought it was funny. Worse - my Dad wrote a complaint and they called my sister, harassing her- to remove it? Like excuse my language but if you want good reviews- make sure your employees are taking it seriously and not doing a half ass job? Don't harass my sister because your employees can't get it together. Completely embarrassing- like how do you own a company- look at the past couple of weeks and have multiple one star reviews and not feel embarrassed or ? I am glad to know it wasn't just me and my sister. In addition despite a completely unacceptable experience- barely anything was offered back. Please, please- please do not hire this company they do not give a single crap about the experience provided- they just want you money at the end of the day and good reviews without actually delivering. I hope this review helps people choose another company the other reviews too- showing moveman that's fine if they don't care but actions have consequences. *I am pretty sure I noticed a few reviews- not sure- of the day I moved that were one star within the same week but those are gone. I am going to guess that others were intimidated to remove the poor reviews- showing the 4.9 stars grossly inaccurate- what I suspected.

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.

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.
