Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience with Chicagoland handyman. I was looking for a…read morehandyman to complete a few projects in my home. The repairman that I initially spoke with over the phone was super responsive and very polite. I was so impressed by the Yelp reviews and by the phone call that I immediately scheduled an appointment with him. After I finished setting up the service appointment we discussed the time, location, and other details. I immediately placed an order from my local hardware store and to have all the items (appliances) shipped to my home. The day before the scheduled appointment the repairman messaged me that he made a mistake and that he was supposed to schedule my appointment for the following day. He also mentioned that I did not send him a deposit to lock in my appointment as if I lost the appointment due to not paying him a deposit. I was confused! We never discussed a deposit or a deposit amount when I spoke with the handyman over the phone. I did not see the other Yelpers reference in their post anything about Zelle quick paying their repairman for a deposit. I thought something was odd I immediately thanked him for his time and told him I would not need his company to complete the repairs!

When I asked him to match another quote I received, he immediately honored that as well. He helped us hang heavy custom drapes in 3 of our bedrooms and we asked to additionally secure the ones in our living room and family room and he was able to do that as well. He brought another guy with him and both of them were in and out of the house within an hour and brought all their own materials as well. It was a perfect experience with a combination of professionalism, promptness, reasonableness, honesty and quality. These are the kind of businesses that are so rare these days so made me appreciate it that much more! We've officially added Derek as our go to handyman!

How do you write a review for someone who has literally changed your life?…read moreI don't have the words to express the joy, satisfaction, and content that I have felt since Maintenance Made Easy has come into my life. They gave me something that I desperately needed. TIME! To make a long story short, my husband and I purchased a 1930's brick bungalow 11 years ago. Being naive, it was the vintage Chambers Stove that won us over. We've had to constantly upgrade, refinish, redo, and remodel. We remodeled our kitchen 4 years ago around this vintage stove. At that time, we were willing to live without a dishwasher. I wasn't willing to sacrifice storage space in place of a dishwasher. I have never had a dishwasher in my life, it didn't seem to be a necessity. Fast forward to today. I have my own OCD foodie. He's 4 years old and refuses to use the same utensils for foods that are sweet or salty. Dishes were piling up, and I felt as if I was constantly washing dishes. Stuff didn't feel clean. After spending a few afternoons at a friend's house, playing with her dishwasher, and fearing the hoarding habits that run rampant in both of our families, the time had come. I really didn't need to have 4 junk drawers or a cabinet full of misc pans that were never used. We bought a dishwasher. Had no idea that they would not install it if there was not an old one in place. We called a friend for a quote; he promised that he would try to install it for us in a few weeks. That box sat in my kitchen for almost a month. I hate to wait. I sent inquiries through Service Magic, and called several contractors on Yelp. Maintenance Made Easy called me immediately. Bonus, they were able to come within the week. These guys are incredible. I needed to have the plumbing and electrical pulled in order to have a dishwasher. I also needed to have the cabinets and drawers removed. This was not an easy task due to the layout of our kitchen. It could not go alongside the sink as each cabinet was barely 17 inches wide. The only place that it could be put was around the corner, under the counter almost 4 feet away. I liked that Bill and his worker put thought into it, that they did not just give me what I wanted to get the job. They measured, they did their homework. They had to make sure that the discharge tube would not back up due to the distance. The job that they did was incredible. They also retrofit a small cabinet for me to slide in baking tins and cutting boards with the extra space. I am so happy and thrilled to have a dishwasher that I could scream. The time that it has given me is priceless. I will not use any other contractor other than Maintenance Made Easy. They are the best and they are fair. They are also quick, clean, and great guys to have around. P.S. Imagine having Ray Liotta and Lloyd Bridges doing work at your house. My husband didn't think that it was funny, but I got a kick out of it.

He is customer-service oriented and knowledgeable on a wide range of home maintenance and repair issues. He came to my house and consulted with me on solutions and offered some good cost saving alternatives, then gave me a reasonable quote, broken down by labor and materials to do the work. He showed up exactly on time and not only did what I originally contracted him for, he also adjusted his schedule to address a few other issues for me while he was there and advised me on some things regarding preparing my house for sale. He's thoughtful, skillful, careful, clean and doesn't take short-cuts on his work. I've dealt with other "handymen" in the past, but Craig is heads and shoulders above the rest - he's not your typical handyman. He is a consummate professional, and just a good honest hard-working guy. He's DEFINITELY Handy to Have Around, and I can't recommend him highly enough. !

Suffice it to say, I didn't have a lot of confidence that any of them could do the job right. Then I found Andy and had him quote me for the work. He gave me a fair price (middle of the quote range), and most importantly left me feeling like he would get the job done right. When we scheduled the work, he showed up on time, performed the install, and cleaned up. I couldn't be happier. For my next project involving an electrician, I'd feel comfortable throwing him the keys to my house, knowing I could trust him and his work. Who wants to deal with a cut-rate job or a untrustworthy person in your home? Not me! Which is why I hired Andy. I'd recommend AGC Electric to anyone.
