You cannot go wrong hiring Jason, the literal Dependable Handyman. He is fair, honest, timely,…read moreefficient & easygoing. He & his sons certainly know what they are doing. He provided an estimate in a couple of days, which included a breakout of labor & materials. Jason provided us with Trex entry steps, repaired (2) vinyl siding corners, installed a granite mailbox post, closed off our wood basement steps & provided an access door to the shutoff valves for our shower. Everything came out absolutely as expected & then some. The front steps came out better than we thought! We were comfortable with trusting that Jason knew what to order & do it properly. I was given the opportunity to pick out the color for the steps (though it added a little to the cost), but I appreciate that I had a say in what was installed. Upon accepting the quote, Jason provided a start date, which he adhered to. He was here on the very day he said he would & at the approximate window of time. To get started he requested an Invoice for the materials, which can easily be paid via Quickbooks. It was so easy to accept the quote & make the payment. The Invoice for the balance can be paid the same way. If you have any questions, Jason replies right away. We primarily communicated via email. I thought at times I was pestering him with questions, but it didn't bother him at all from what I could tell. When we pointed out a couple of small errors, he immediately corrected them. No arguing, just made it right. That's rare these days! We have more projects in the pipeline & Jason is definitely hired for that work, such as a small deck, fencing, drop-down ceiling in the basement, a bar & a platform for my washer & dryer. No doubt that the process for the future work will go as seamlessly as these projects did.

It was not too small for the Dependable Handyman. He showed up on time to price out the job and when it came to building the steps, he was there on time. The quality of work was excellent and completed in one day. If you can get him, hire him. You will not be disappointed.

Our Condo Association decided to install over 70 brand new new garage doors after 40 years. Tony's…read moreGarage Doors offered the best bids, especially since the owner and his son were familiar with our Association and the building design and construction. We got our unit's door and while the installation was occurring, contracted with Tony to install a new opener 9which we had previously purchased too, although we could have chosen to have Tony's provide one during the install at a reasonable total cost. Tony's is large enough to bring in a team and equipment to install as many as 8 doors per day cleaning up totally as they went along. The result was a perfectly functioning and great looking door.

Ernie is a great guy who does professional electrical work at very competitive prices…read more We've had him out several times to our summer lake cottage. He added lights to our crawlspace, put in GFIs, redid our electrical panel breakers, installed a whole house fan and installed several new outlets and switches. I am super impressed with his work ethic and he is also very neat. Doubtful you can find a better electrician in the Cheboygan area!

Brad the owner called me directly to explain the circumstances and was willing to send someone out immediately. I had already contacted another provider.

I apologize for writing a misleading review. Next time I need a plumber I will certainly contact John's Plumbing and Heating.

I was a repeat customer, requested quote for a small two-bedroom loft condo. Dan indicated he could…read moregive me "a good deal." I requested the same service as last time and was told, "I won't charge no more than $250, if we did the same thing. I explained to Dan that he did not have to move ANY furniture, no stains or difficult areas to clean, very easy job-only open areas need to be cleaned." He then quoted me $225. -Arrived 9:15am, departed 10:45am. Worked approximately one hour. -We did a complete walk through the condo to ensure Dan knew exactly what needed to be done. Dan asked me if I wanted the stairs cleaned. I replied, "Yes." Dan never mentioned he charges "extra" for stairs, not once during the walk through or by texting. He had every opportunity to do so and he chose not to. -Asked Dan if he could lightly run over the two small foyer rugs with the cleaner. He replied, "Yes." Never mentioned additional charge for rugs. -Never asked him to clean carpet tiles. He cleaned them anyway. -Upon check-out, Dan told me I owed him $300! He tried to shame me into believing he did me a favor in cleaning the carpet tiles and that he charges $75 for each flight of stairs. Dan tried to convince me that I got a "deal," because he was only charging me for one flight of stairs, not two. -I expressed my dismay and decided to pay Dan his requested $300, because I wanted to write this honest review. I didn't want the review to be about Dan arguing about price. -Dan did a sufficient job in cleaning my carpet, hence the two star review. -Use Dan if you would like your carpets cleaned. -LESSON LEARNED: Get everything in writing. Make Dan sign a contract on agreed price and work to be completed. He doesn't use contracts, but I would ask him for one.

Excellent carpet cleaning. Gets stains out when nothing I tried worked. Great people too!read more

Local friends recommended Brian Coffell Builders for a needed new roof (even before the ice storm!) and they have been a delight to work with. Brandon kept in touch with us every step of the way - including clearing the two-track after the ice storm so they could get in - and sending photos. The new roof looks great, and the friends who also kept an eye on the progress were impressed by every step. We certainly appreciate the work - and their attitude.
