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.

I would rate the workmanship highly, there were small flaws but in his defense it was a difficult work area with an air conditioning unit above.

If the company is not interested in doing the work, just tell me. Wasting my time if you aren't going to provide an estimate after telling me how interested you are in doing the work is completely unprofessional.

Scheduling an estimate for Mazzacraft was fine. Matt showed up on time, very nice, and looked over…read morethe job and gave me some suggestions on how to approach. Price was not an issue as the replacement of wood around our garage bays and painting is as basic as you can get. Matt agreed to an estimate and said it was not a big deal. Then came the broken promises of an estimate and then a second broken promise of an estimate. Finally a text (not a call) that they would not take the job because wood replacement did not go so well in the past?!? That's poor customer service and a lack of integrity. Mazzacraft, in my opinion, is another poorly run "contracting" service that talks-the-talk but does not deliver. Which is too bad because we had a ton of work in a commercial building we own. They are just another in a list of contractors that breaks promises and you cannot count on. Avoid if you can - in my opinion of course.

Thank you again and will definitely use them again for another project.
