David, the owner, seems like a nice guy, and he did a good job replacing the tiles on my bathroom floor, and he (mostly his assistant) did a lot of painting, which on the whole looks good. But see below... The big issues were what I discovered after he was finished and had left: fresh paint stains in multiple areas, including the wood floor of my 19th century house and even furniture - which I cleaned up. Splattered paint near the ceiling of my kitchen which still, three months later, has not been patched, paint stains on my oriental rug, a major purchase 40 years ago, etc. David said he would pay for the rug damage, and I only asked for 50% of the very reasonable $175 cleaning cost. David told me to bill him via Zelle, something I said I'm not sure how to do. He already has my Zelle information, since that's how I paid him for the work. But after messaging him and emailing several times, he has not responded. And I still have paint streaks on the wall and an unpaid bill. So I can't recommend Handy Gentlemen. I think part of the problem is that David is under-manned and a bit overwhelmed, but not responding to my messages is unprofessional.

Mamut gave me time to be ready for the work and he showed up on time and his worker did too. They did the work as quoted with $200 extra added on for extra fence panels and the work looks wonderful. They were quick, professional and so far no issues with the work. I wish I had more resources to get my entire viewing parts of my fence replaced. We liked Mamut's work that we have gotten a second quote on more work that Mamut will be doing for my family.

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!

a pig with lipstick--Quality is NOT Its Priority: My Experience with Arna Remodeling - Arcadii's…read moreWork If standing in my tub and stepping onto the tile outside of it didn't land with a squeak each and every day, this review and my frustration wouldn't linger. But here we are--asking why my tub squeaks when stepped in, and why the tile outside of it also squeaks. These noises serve as a daily reminder of a job poorly done and a contractor's lack of skill and care. I have wrestled with the work Arcadii has done to my home and now see the full toll his lack of skill, professionalism, and care has taken. Lack of Care and Communication One of the most disappointing aspects of this project was how it was handled. After completely gutting my bathroom, Arcadii only then informed me of what he would NOT do--things I had requested from the beginning. These included: * Installing a shut-off valve in the basement * Properly venting the fan to the outside * Wrapping the tile around the bathroom, instead of just the tub area Had I known this earlier, I simply would have replaced the toilet myself and saved myself the trouble. Adding insult to injury, during this process I was dealing with herniated disks and sciatica, yet I was left to lift and dispose of a five-gallon bucket of water collecting from the tub pipe--for days. Carelessness and Poor Workmanship The carelessness didn't stop there. Here are just a few more examples of how this project was mishandled: * Toilet Installation: The new toilet ran constantly, requiring adjustment--which I did myself. Even more shockingly, the toilet was sealed with spray foam. When I checked from downstairs, I could see yellow foam protruding around the toilet and onto the floor. * Vent Cover: The vent cover was not replaced, nor was the prior one put back in place. Instead, I was left with an uncovered hole in my wall. * Vanity: The sink was not properly set on its base. The drain was sealed with caulk, which is not how it is designed to function. To make matters worse, the vanity drawer was rendered nearly useless when a large section of the back panel was sawed out unnecessarily. This exposed long, bent nails, which I had to request be repaired for safety reasons--especially for children using the drawer. * Baseboard and Caulk: The baseboard was left unpainted, and spaces requiring caulk were not fully sealed. Lack of Professionalism Beyond the poor workmanship, the lack of professionalism was evident. * He left a new replacement toilet in the parkway of my house and initially claimed he would dispose of it--only to laugh about it having water inside. * My Home Depot credit card, which he had in his possession to buy needed materials. Final Thought: A Pig with Lipstick You more than likely will end up with a project you would label as a pig with lipstick--an illusion of a finished job masking glaring problems. The care for your home, and the wealth you intended to build within it, will be diminished. If you value integrity, quality workmanship, and someone who does what is right--even when no one is watching--this is NOT the contractor for you.
