We began our association with Manuel's Handyman Services in September 2015 after having received poor to terrible services from 4 local organizations in East Troy. After the final (botched landscaping attempt) by the 4th. contractor at a property we were selling in East Troy, we broke from our tradition of hiring only local professionals and contacted Manuel's. Manuel and Kris showed up to assess the situation, gave us very excellent and cost effective ideas to correct the problems and we hired them for the repairs, landscaping, tree services, and grounds maintenance for the remainder of 2015 and into mid-2016 until we sold that property. After their initial work on the "for sale property", we were so impressed with them & the crews that we hired them to begin the massive wooded lot cleanup and replacement of the "new landscaping??" which had been performed at the new house we had moved to on Lake Beulah. The house was situated on a 2 acre wooded lot. The woods were basically impassable due to Buckthorn, standing and fallen dead trees, brush, litter and undergrowth, stumps, rocks, etc. Once again, Manuel and crew, outfitted with all of the proper equipment showed up (ahead of schedule!!) and set in on the seemingly impossible tasks. Fortunately for us, when several of the tasks required professionals skilled in other trades, we didn't have to go "contractor shopping". Manuel has a group of contractors he works with in what appears to cover any need a homeowner may require, AND, Manuel & Kris oversee the subcontracted work and deal with any issues that arise. NO STRESS OR PROBLEMS FOR THE PROPERTY OWNER!!! I have been a business owner for over 40 years and can certainly appreciate just what an outstanding organization Manuel & Kris have built. Throughout 2016, Manuel, Kris, and crew transformed our vision into a reality and in doing so have created the most beautiful, serene setting one could wish to live in. During the project, passing by walkers and cars would stop to congratulate Manuel on the workmanship, and many took pictures. We are still regularly approached by passing by walkers and cars and asked if our woods is a State Park, or if they could please just walk through the paths weaving throughout the new setting, or to just sit and enjoy the surroundings on the many half-log benches Manuel's crew fabricated from removed Locust trees. We are looking forward to working with Manuel's on 2 more projects in 2017 & beyond. In our opinion, the prices were extremely reasonable for the quality of their workmanship, and we have NEVER worked with a more professional and polite services organization or crew. Manuel, Kris, and all the crew, THANK YOU for our beautiful surroundings. G&K&W&C read more
