I never know whether to trust rave reviews on Yelp, but in the case of Brian Ludlow, owner of…read moreLudlow's Handyman Services, the five star ratings are spot on accurate. I needed a mailbox installed and had tried for 3 months to schedule various handyman recommended by neighbors. I finally took things into my own hands and searched for a reputable and highly rated handyman on Yelp. There were several options to choose from, but I was immediately drawn to Brian's business because it is locally owned and operated by him. Plus, I really liked his bio. I could tell he was someone who enjoyed his work and was focused on high quality outcomes for customer projects. Brian did not disappoint. Every step of the process was a good one. My first point of contact was through Yelp messaging. That's when I first knew I was on the right track because Brian promptly replied. Moreover, his communication skills were excellent from the get-go. He was able to fit me into his schedule a few days after my request. He arrived on time prepared with what he needed to do the job. Everything went smoothly, especially because Brian and I had reviewed the installation instructions through photos I attached to our Yelp messages. He was able to acquire the remaining needed materials that I did not have on hand. Brian clearly knew what he was doing and got the mailbox installed without any problems. He charged a reasonable amount and was a pleasure to work with. I had a great customer experience. I already have other projects lined up for him. Living in a 200-year-old home is going to provide plenty of opportunities to call on Brian's experience and excellent problem-solving skills.

Also great to work with. Communication regarding project and during the job was very informative and thorough. Pricing of the project was discussed at beginning and they were pretty precise with their projected pricing of the project. They completed the project exactly how I was picturing it to look. Thank you again and will definitely use them again for another project.

Beyond the quality of their work, what really stood out was the care they showed throughout the process. They treated our home with respect--taking off their shoes or wearing booties, and even vacuuming up drywall dust as they worked. It's the little things like that that show how much they care about their clients and their craft. Everything was done professionally, efficiently, and with great attention to detail. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and thoughtful electricians!

I found Kyle through his website. Sadly, I was disappointed in the service. His father was very…read moreprofessional. When he came out there for an estimate, his father was asked to make all outlets white. This note was not written down by Laverty Sr. They performed the repair, but the color was not correct. When asked to rectify it, he promised to come back with the right outlets. I contacted him several times to have him fix the problem, but he never followed through.

Kyle does great work, if you can get him to show up, or come back. I found him to be extremely…read moreunreliable. He had a habit of repeatedly not showing up when he said he would, without calling to let me know. It was difficult to get him to call me back. He also left with work not being complete, stating that he would return to finish it and never did. I eventually fired Kyle after using him for a few jobs and found a very reliable contractor. I paid this new contractor to finish two jobs that Kyle left incomplete. Kyle had his money so I guess he didn't care.

Completely Incompetent -- Worst Residential Maintenance Company…read more This company should not be in business, especially not handling residential properties where people are trying to live comfortably and safely. Maintenance is a total disaster. They take forever to respond to even basic repair requests--if they respond at all. I've gone weeks without heat, had plumbing problems ignored, and electrical issues dismissed like it wasn't a safety concern. They either don't show up, or they send someone who does a rushed, half-baked job that barely holds for a day. Communication is nonexistent. Good luck getting anyone on the phone. Emails? Ignored. Voicemails? Useless. They act like they're doing you a favor just by acknowledging your request, and accountability is nowhere to be found. The properties themselves are neglected. They don't maintain anything unless it's an emergency (and even then, expect delays and excuses). Being under their management has been nothing but frustrating, stressful, and disappointing. If you're looking for a company that actually takes care of its residents and handles maintenance like professionals--this is not it. Avoid them at all costs. They are the textbook definition of a slum management company in disguise.
