CB Wilson came to our house in September 2024 to give us an estimate to remove our wooden front…read moreporch and replace with concrete steps and a possible patio. My wife also requested a separate estimate to remodel our kitchen later in the future. Wilson later sent my wife an estimate for the kitchen and included a figure of $17,000 to $18,000 for the front porch but did not itemized it. My wife requested a breakdown of the costs which he never sent. Wilson had his designer, Julie, come to our house in October 2024 and she spent about 15 minutes entering information into an app on her tablet. It took over a month for the designer to send a design and this design was wrong. my wife requested corrections and the designer said it was easy to change on the app. The second design was wrong again. My wife emailed them in December 2024 but received no response. In February of 2025, my wife was contacted by the designer but my wife advised her that we found a different conta and would not need their services. On March 14, 2025, my wife received an invoice from CB Wilson Construction demanding $2,000 for 40 hours of design services. We are not paying this ridiculous bill since they did no work and the designer did not complete the design - which should have taken About 40 minutes not 40 hours! We are filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau as well as the Michigan LARA. My wife recently talked to another lady who had a very similar experience with poor communication and responsiveness and she did not hire them. BEWARE!

We had a horrible experience dealing with Larry Visner at Bradfield. Larry came out and seemed…read morepleasant and knowledgeable, but that initial impression was fleeting. Several weeks after the initial walkthrough he provided a "rough" estimate of costs that he had put together in a spreadsheet. Based on that estimate, we agreed to design the project which took months of emailing back and forth. Larry had not taken notes and we had to correct him on basics of the design multiple times, and often had to ask him multiple times for the same information. After getting the design finalized, Larry came to us with an adjusted price over 50% HIGHER than the original rough estimate. Larry had not provided any prior notice of the increased costs and could not give us a straight answer as to why it had increased so much. Despite misleading us into hiring him based on a wildly incorrect initial estimate, Larry and John seemed to have no issue wasting months of our time and charging us excessively for the design they provided which is now useless to us as the project is way out of our budget (which we had made clear to them much earlier in the process).

Jason, with Lakeshore Handyman Services, has been an amazing craftsman. He came into our condo to…read moredo some work to assist me in my personal renovation. I had a tiling project where I didn't trust myself to be able to properly cut and space the tile around our irregular shower wall. He did such an impressive job and I'm a perfectionist. It truly looks fantastic. You would never know that there isn't a straight angled wall in that bathroom. In addition to our tile project, he also cut and hung our new interior doors, framed in a wall in the back of our laundry room covering a poorly built machinery access. Everything he did was well built, and his trade skills were impeccable. I am notoriously picky about perfection when it comes to finishes, and Jason was a level beyond even my standards. When it comes to customer service, he was very respectful with noise, and the work area was spotlessly clean after he left. Jason also impressed me with his ethics and professionalism. If I was not able to be present for some reason, I would trust him to continue working in my home unsupervised any day. I also knew that any quote I received would not mysteriously change after work began. As a resident and as the Condo Association President for my neighborhood, Jason with Lakeshore Handyman Services has been one of the best contractors I have ever had worked with and comes highly recommended.

A kitchen cabinet drawer needed to be adjusted because the hinge came loose. He "fixed" it, then…read moreit broke again about 2 days later. He came out an "fixed" it, but now it barely drags open and shut. The other project we had him do was replace the basement door that leads outside. We are in the woods and mice and chipmunks are always looking for a way into the house. I noticed I could see the daylight along the side of the door from inside the basement. Todd came out and put wood or something around the door. A few days later, I walked under our deck where this new door was installed to find all of the old stuff he removed was left behind. We are in our 70's. Did he expect us to haul it away? I'm glad that was all we used him for. He is a nice guy, but he overstates his skills.

In my younger years, I used to do these sorts of things for myself; now we have to rely on others, and in judging their performance I consider whether they've done the job as well as I probably would have. Maybe there are some issues with expectations here. I look upon a "handyman" as a resourceful, experienced, hired hand ... not as a licensed contractor ... a "Mr. Fixit", not an engineer or builder. We generally use a "handyman" to fix things are broken, replace things that are worn out, or correct mistakes made by prior occupants of our 125+ year old home. If we're ever thinking about doing a major remodel or addition, we'll be looking for a reputable licensed contractor, not a handyman ... someone we can hold to top quality building and code-compliant standards. About refuse removal ... if you're working with a handyman, that'll be your responsibility. Light accumulations can probably be combined with your weekly trash pickup for free. Anything more that that will probably cost $200 to $400 to have someone haul away (GotJunk, Bagster, dumpster, etc.). Settle this issue with your hired hand before the work begins and it won't come as an unhappy surprise later.
