This review is for the great experience I had when I called Tony's Toolbox to request an…read moreappointment for an estmate. I need to fix a ceiling leak and determine why it is there! I feel that you can tell a lot about a company by talking to the person who answers the phone. Amber quickly inspired confidence in my choice of choosing this company to contact. She answered the phone immediately, was professional and listened to me carefully. She set up an appointment when Tony could visit. And she explained Tony would text me the day of the appointment with the window of time he would be arriving. Love organized and efficient. As per his word, Tony texted me and gave me a 4 to 5:00 p.m. window and showed up on time. For the next hour Tony evaluated the situation by getting a very close look at the problem area. He then went up into the attic for a closer inspection. When he came back he had pictures on his phone and explained what was going on. As it turns out there is an open area in the roof where rain water can get in. This likely created the spot that has now formed. He said it was fixable and would send me an estimate via email. If I agreed with the estimate, I would be added to his schedule. (Luckily this is a very slow leak and the ceiling spot is small.) Tony was professional, knowledgeable, and I was very pleased with choosing him out of many other people. The estimate was received the next morning! I absolutely felt it was fair and reasonable. He is a popular guy. I have a month's wait. As an aside: My neighbor was present during Tony's visit. He was so impressed with Tony that he asked for his business card. I love supporting a local, independent, and family-owned business. Thanks, Tony and Amber. See you soon.

The open area was in an obscure spot; he had to creatively think of a solution, which he did. He replaced the light bulb in the ceiling fixture. I contacted him on Thursday and he was here on Monday.

I even so much as referred him to my neighbor who had him paint her interior, although I did warn her about the garbage they left sitting around each day. After several months, I noticed the tongue and groove on my eaves were not completely covered. I understand expansion and contraction. When I contacted Perry about the issue he seemed very willing to come back out to take care of it. I reached out to him after each time he ghosted me. I wanted to give him a favorable review, but I can't in good conscience. Very poor customer service, horrible follow up, and not recommended.

He was very friendly and always asked if there was anything else he could do for us. He worked steadily and we're so happy with the results. Excellent service at a very fair price. We'll definitely be calling this service again.

First off I can tell you I have no relationship with anyone in the company and I can assure you…read morecalling them for a quote on any job in and around the house is a good place to start. You are not committed by simply stating your need and an estimated price quote. And they definitely will not hound you for a commitment. Once you use Ace Handyman, I would be surprised if you didn't start making a list of chores you want someone else to do. They are careful and thorough about understanding what you want. Their work is guaranteed. We have used them several times with the last time being April 15, 2025, and never have we been disappointed. I definitely put my support behind the company, the employees and their quality of work.

His bid was very reasonable. The results are stunning. The crew did an enormous amount of prep work, including some plaster repair, making sure all surfaces were perfect before painting. The house looks brand new. We couldn't be happier with their professionalism and craftsmanship. The team was communicative, hardworking, and highly respectful. Jim's positive attitude made the whole process worry-free. We live out of town, and it's been a challenge at times to get a professional to answer our calls. We even trusted Jim to pick the colors since he is also a design expert. Randa Thurman Von Essen
