DO NOT USE! Warning: scam artists, unreliable, unprofessional. Read below for details on my experience: I originally hired Jay and Dan to fix a laundry line that was leaking. After coming to my location, ray sold me on this story of how they are home builders but decided to go into smaller projects...first red flag (hottest housing market ever and as a home builder, why is he not building homes?) Anyway, after being told 500, it ended up being 850 and I had to paint the wall myself after they left. They say they charge 15% on whatever supplies they buy, but they won't show you receipts and after you do they tell you they rounded up to the nearest 10 dollar mark. But this isn't even what my complaint is about! So Jay told me they can do windows, they have an amazing supplier will get it to me in 4-6 weeks and it will be less then 8500$. I pay the deposit (NEVER PAY THE DEPOSIT BEFORE THEY DO WORK, big mistake on my part) This is where there unreliability and unprofessionalism come in: 2 weeks later they come by to do measurements, 2 weeks after that they claim that they sent the measurements to the supplier and that they were waiting on the supplier to get a quote (I was emailing jay every 2 days at this point, it had been a month and no windows had been ordered. 2 weeks after being told over and over that we are waiting for the supplier. Guess what I find out, they had made a mistake and actually hadn't sent over any measurements...in almost 2 months of having my money, all while telling me that they had sent it over. Attached are imagines. So I confront jay and say you have made a mistake....THEY DONT TAKE ANY OWNERSHIP. They put all the blame on everyone else and start saying they are going to the higher ups on the manufacturer side.... End of story, 2 months after a deposit, no windows were ordered, they told me it would be twice as expensive take another 8-10 weeks and tried to sell me in bullshit solutions after they had royally messed up...all while taking 0 responsibility.

PHX Fixers did great work recently on a job installing a large ceiling fan 16 ft up in my sitting room. It was difficult finding a company that could do this job and the owner was helpful talking through options. Pricing was detailed clearly, and the team was very prompt and clean during the initial consultation and actual job. I would definitely use this company again and they did an excellent job from start to finish. read more

I was a little disappointed when they asked for full payment up front for our small baseboard install . We had done all of our communication on Yelp and had corresponded several times. I had no problem paying a deposit but definitely not comfortable paying the entire job up front when we had all the materials. We decided to move on and look elsewhere. read more

Wonderful and responsive owner! Took time to respond my questions! And was able to guide me to solutions.

Scam- Tried to tell me that the door i needed was a $4,000 dollar repair. That they weren't available at all. Being business owner myself and have managed a contracting company in California I found it very suspicious when they asked for the full payment up front- Said they could come to the house and fix it for $1,600 (Normal practice is %10 to $1000 upfront) Deposit I found the pre-hung fire door (at Home Depot) for in-between the garage and home for $280 got it verified and installed. I spent a total of $450 I'm contemplating reporting this to the BBB and going on the ROC. EXTREMELY SKLETCHY COMPANY read more

I'm glad I only went with the $100 repair for my pool fence project instead of the more costly one as I feel so ripped off after this experience. Read in for the story. At the least it's worth a laugh. I feel reviews like this are important so that other potential customers will know what to actually expect. I read reviews of companies before contacting them and all the 5 star reviews here now seem unwarranted to me. You never know if other reviews are just friends of the company. Especially when they leave 5 stars and don't write very much. I don't relish writing reviews like this, but after the company's response I feel this is very fair. I have a fence that goes around my pool. The two posts that the swinging door are attached to have rusted at the bases and collapsed a couple inches into the ground. The bottom of the door was stuck against the flagstone patio and would no longer open and close. I wound up just uninstalling the door to avoid damaging the flagstone. The door has a return spring with two bolts on it. The door also has a couple downward hooks on it that connect to rings on the fence post and this is how the door swings to open and close. I don't know anything about fence repair. I imagined someone would use the same tubular metal post and just dig out the ground a bit and weld in a couple inches of new material. Jay came out and had the idea of making a couple custom metal blocks which would sit on the ground and hold up the posts. That sounded like a reasonable plan to me. It took 30 days for the company to return to repair the fence. I was at work but my wife was available when they arrived and it was a good thing she was. I'm now going to paste in the email my wife wrote me about the experience. Begin email ---- Ryan came over first.  While he was here, his manager called and said someone else was coming over with blocks for the post that they had ordered.  He inspected the fence and I helped him hang the gate by guiding the attachments into the correct slots.  He said if it were up to him he would just drill the holes on the post a little higher to make the fix.  We took the gate off the fence and he left. After that another older guy came over with some blocks.  He looked confused about what to do with the blocks. He said that drilling holes higher in the gate post wouldn't work because there are welded parts, too.  Those welded parts would need to be re-welded if we do that, and the company does not have a welder. The older guy talked with his manager on the phone for a little bit.  While he was on the phone I lifted up on part of the fence. I found that it was loose and had probably broken off from its concrete mooring after the ground settled a bit.  I am positive this was the source of the problem that caused the gate to rub against the flagstone.  I shoved a few rocks down into the post hole and it was enough to lift the post a lot higher.  The older guy totally approved of my solution.  He did not think the blocks would have solved the problem the way that the rocks did. I helped the older guy re-hang the gate.  It looked like neither guy would have been able to do that on their own because it was considerable effort to line up the bottom attachment and the top one into the slots at the same time.  I am glad I was there to help twice.  After hanging the fence, he screwed everything into place. We tested opening the gate to make sure it is not in danger of hitting the flagstone.  He put all his weight onto the fence to make sure it would not sink down further.  I suggested that if the problem happened again, I can simply lift up on the post and add in a few more rocks to bolster it up again. These blocks have no edges or anything for the post to slide onto or latch into.   They are much wider than the post legs.  They would have been a pain to dig down and install under the fence posts.  Also, they would not fix the problem because they can not stop the ground from settling further, and the post legs would just sink down again. Hun, it feels like I was the one who fixed our fence!  Lol! End email--- So there was no plan that was communicated from the initial idea to fix the posts to the people that actually came to install these metal blocks. My wife came up with the idea of just using rocks in the old fence post holes to prop up the sagging posts. My wife then assisted with holding the door up (two separate times) while it was reattached to the fence posts. I complained about this and they refunded me $22. I think it should have been a $50 refund if not more. I have no way of knowing what I was charged for those custom metal blocks which were never used and not left with me or if I was refunded fully for them. I essentially spent $78 for my wife to think up a solution on the day of the work because the company did not have an executable plan for repair and to then assist the repairman with the reinstallation of the door twice. read more

Update: the best part of this company's response is that I stood in my yard today and said to his employee, "we're so ready to throw money at this project to get it done. I bet you deal with folks who want all the work done for nothing, right?" and his employee agreed. My review doesn't trash you -- it simply highlights that unless someone is willing to fly blind into demo projects, you may not be a good fit for them. Especially when you ask for 50% via PayPal up front without even an appointment scheduled. Yikes! read more

I requested a quote for something super simple (because I basically break anything I touch). Jay was the first to respond, but he advised an easy solution for me without asking for a dime (he was the only one to offer this easy solution out of 5 other handymen). Jay at The HandyManics will definitely be first on my list when I need a real job done because it's clear he is sincere and wants what's best for his clients. read more

I had termite damage on my front door's door frame. HandyManiacs were responsive and got someone to take care of it early. I had a few concerns and they came back to make it right. I'd recommend them as they are focused on providing a great service that you are satisfied with. Very fair company. read more

Loved that both technicians wore masks the entire time they were working on several projects. Appreciated their fast turn around time and even completed 3 jobs under time quoted. Will definitely use again for more househokd projects. Thank you. read more

They showed up in mask for safety. Two guys showed up after picking up fence. They did an amazing job and I am very happy. The clean-up was also surprisingly completed well. Prices are reasonable and I will hire again in the future. Thank you HandyManiacs! read more

I've had these guys do multiple jobs for me. Always do great work and would recommend them.

Requested a free estimate. Jay responded quickly to my message and said that he can do an on-site estimate any morning this week. I was impressed and asked for tomorrow morning. His response was that tomorrow morning wasn't available. "Okay. Then why say any morning is available?" So we set the appointment 2 days out for the free estimate. 2 days later Jay showed up right on time. I showed him Where the repairs I needed are and he looked at them. He was very loud, like obnoxious loud. Kept talking in circles and wanting to share stories. He said that the job could take 3-4 hours or less or more. He didn't explain what work would be needed or materials. I started asking questions to get a better idea of the scope of work. He couldn't explain what would be done then said it could be just a couple hours or more for labor. They charge $60/hour for labor then mark up materials 15%. But again, Jay failed to explain how the work would be done, materials needed, or a better estimate on the time. After asking him several questions to help get an idea on the cost, Jay got frustrated and said that I am not listening. He couldn't even provide me a cost range on the low end or high end for the work. What's the point of asking for a free estimate if you can't provide one? I thanked Jay for his time and walked him to the door. On the way he said "I gave it a good try." No Jay, you didn't. read more

If you are looking for a quality company, look no further. I had a HUGE dead tree in my front yard. These guys were wonderful. They showed up on time, wore masks, worked as quickly as possible (not an easy task....took several days) were extremely pleasant and professional. They left my front yard looking even better than before. I highly recommend them! read more

While the work they do is good. I got hit twice with unexpected fees I didn't agree with. This should have been done before the work started. Also, I had to call out when I was going to get the project finished because someone said they would come back to finish when they didn't. Had to reschedule that. read more

I dodged a bullet not having Jay step one foot on the job site. He couldn't give me a solid answer on repairing a leaking balcony. Which wasn't entirely unexpected at the time... I had expected to get a time and materials contract given his response of saying it may cost less, it may cost more. It was unknown until he pulled up some tiles to see what the extent of the problem was... Instead I received a PayPal invoice with an image of a normal construction contract. No ability to sign it... And he didn't want me to. In case the project was larger than expected, he would've been bound to fix it at that price. He said he wouldn't put me on the schedule until 50% was paid. Which according to the image of the "contract" came with a $250 cancellation charge and a binding agreement. I ended up cancelling because I sold the property. I spoke with Jay by phone and via email several times over a couple of months. Each time he acted like he had no idea who I was or why I was calling. He said on several occasions he was going to refund the payment I made... But it never happened. I finally got more direct and said I would file a PayPal claim if he didn't refund what he said he was going to. He made up a bunch of nonsense excuses about other expenses he had already incurred... Despite no work being done and no product being ordered. He finally agreed he was going to have his accountant mail me a check... Which made no sense since I paid via PayPal. The only logical reason was to push the time limit to PayPals dispute limit. I put in a complaint to PayPal and said I would escalate to a claim only if the check was not received in a timely matter. He immediately said he was going to have his lawyer contact me and file a mechanics lien... Again, no work was done... Nothing was ordered. No grounds for a mechanics lien. He was just trying to use scare tactics. Look deeper into this guy, he has changed his name several times over the recent past. Flipz, Phx Fixers, and who knows what else! All of this was with no work being done. I can only imagine what kind of crap he would've pulled if I let him on the job site one minute. read more

The HandyManiacs - This was over a ~$850 charge... Stay away from this guy. - EV Charging Stations Near Me

Didn't get very far. Two minutes into initial conversation rep advised me it would be "thousands of dollars" to install two outlets. He also proceeded to tell me to simply use a surge protector. Okie dokey....Um.... no. lol Update: "This person" could not get in two words. Rep was too busy talking. His comment ...really unprofessional. Don't recommend at all... bad customer service. read more

Horrible and disorganized service. Had them come to give an estimate which took forever. They never even bothered calling back with estimate

I contacted handymaniacs about an issue with my water heater. I showed him a picture of the problem and he promptly told me what he thought the issue was and instead of coming out to my house he said that I could fix the problem myself very easily. I followed his advice and was able to take care of the issue on my own. So refreshing to deal with honest people. They're my first call on future jobs. Literally saved me hundreds of dollars. read more

I just moved into a new house and needed a bunch of very random things done - some paint here, some drywall there. I sent a list to Handymaniacs, someone came by to look, and provided their input on what should be done, what can probably wait, and a rough estimate on cost. The work was scheduled quickly, and the pricing came in right at where the estimate was. I'm very happy with the work that was completed, and will be using them for a small electrical job coming up. Thanks! read more

I had a smoke detector that needed changing and contacted the company for a quote estimate. Jay came in to take a look the very next morning (it was a Sunday) and shared some very helpful insights and suggestions of possible options. He was super honest about how I did know need to use his company's services and can easily switch my detectors on my own (including instructions on how to) unless I want them to anyway. I am grateful that he did not sell me services that I did not need. He also helped me to disable my chirping detector (I can finally get my sleep back) during his free quote visit. I found him to be very personable and accommodating on top of his honesty so was surprised to see other low rated reviews. My personal experience has been a 5 star one! read more

AWESOME service. I called about a broken window that was off its tracks, they came out the very next day, assured me it was not a safety issue and not worth fixing, didn't charge for the consultation, and could not have been nicer or friendlier. I will definitely be calling for my every fix-it need in the future! read more

I really like the service. The price is reasonable but most important is the technician is pretty responsible and reliable. Work done well.

Exceptional in every way!! My garage is SO clean and lovely that I could "rent it out as a winter home".... Daniel was personable, professional, and extremely patient. Who would have "thunk it" that garage and backyard cleaning could actually be....enjoyable? read more

I highly recommend HandyManiacs. Jay responded to my Yelp request for quote and assistance immediately. Communication was clear and efficient. He was able to stop by for a free look/consultation the next morning for the replacement of a ceiling fan. He arrived within the scheduled time and was very professional and personable. He discussed what the potential issues could be, provided a schematic and explained everything thoroughly. His explanation was easy to understand. I tried his suggestions after he left. It was indeed a failed part. I was able to fix the issue with the new part. I am glad that we contacted Jay. We were able to find a solution. We also received a follow up email with the schematic for reference the same evening. Great follow up and overall customer service! We will contact them again for future electrical needs. Thank you! read more

Tried talking to the owner about one simple job he first lied to me he had any morning this week opened when I said the next day he said he was booked and said Thursday.. I need this job ASAP because of my HOA I told him it was fine since I want to be here when they come, he then said to look elsewhere so professionalism is absolute Garbage I will not recommend this place to anybody! read more

Our ceiling had water damage from a leak . It took less than a week from initial communication to final completion of the repair. The repair was reasonably priced and well done . read more

I'm so so happy that I found this company to come in and fix small repairs that I had around the house. They were fast reliable and extremely affordable. They gave me a virtual estimate, came in two days later, fixed the drywall, and I was charged only the deposit. It takes a really honest company to come into the work and tell you that it's less expensive than what they originally thought. I will be using them again for so many projects. J thank you so much for helping out & all of your communication. And thank you to your office staff for texting me and keeping me up-to-date with his schedule and thank you for the handyman who came in was professional kind of fast and also came early! read more

The only company that replied my quote during this busy time. Jay is very responsive and Don did a great job fixing my rain gutter. Recommended! read more

Highly recommend The HandyManiacs. Keep their name on file for any odd jobs, small repairs, or even large scale projects. I've worked with The HandyManiacs for roughly 1 month now. Communication has been great with the leadership team Jay, Ari, and Dan. I primarily worked with Sid and Gary on my large sunroom project (demo, all new wiring, drywall, sheetrock ceiling, mini split AC relocation, and recessed lighting). They are very hard workers, with great attention to detail. They are fun guys to be around, who are happy to share their tips and tricks if you are willing to learn for future DIY projects. read more

I needed help with fixing some electrical and structural items before selling my home. Jay and Daniel together were able to follow up on my buyers requests and execute the work needed in a professional, affordable and timely manner. Now I'm off to buy a new drill for my new home! read more

I'm very satisfied with the prompt response from Jay. His expertise helped solve one of our electrical issues and I am very happy. Jay went above and beyond my expectations and offered additional helpful information that was simple and easy to understand. I will not hesitate to contact The HandyManiacs in the future! Craig D. read more

Exceeded expectations. Outlet had come loose on kitchen island, screws stripped, etc. Looked like a big expensive job where entire electrical box would need replacement . Within 15 minutes outlet was repaired. I couldn't believe it. Highly recommend. read more

Jay is very unprofessional in dealing with everything. He was telling our General Contractor that they didn't know what they were doing and kept talking down to them. Our Contractor is one of the best in Arizona so this attitude was a major red flag. Suggest you look elsewhere when looking for work to be completed. read more

Punctual, great communicators, hard working and super helpful in completing my home remodel. Highly recommended:)

Punctual. Great customer service, prompt response. Will definitely work again with Jay.

It is so hard to find good people for small projects! Jay was prompt to reply to my initial inquiry as well as follow up questions. Roger, the handyman, was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. He replaced the subfloor in my bathroom. Excellent job and it was also really impressive that the timing quote was almost exact - They clearly know their projects to be able to estimate so accurately. I would highly recommend The HandyManiacs. read more

Jay took a visit to diagnose the problem (free of charge). It turns out it can be resolved easily by myself. He was professional and courteous. Highly recommended. read more

Contacted PHX Fixers to remove a dining area light fixture and replace it with a new hanging fixture. Jay responded immediately and accommodated me the same day! The installer was great, wore a mask, explained in detail his work as he progressed with the installation and was done in less than 45 minutes. He cleaned up his work area and thanked me for the business as he left. I couldn't be happier with the work PHX Fixers did for me. I will definitely use their services again and recommend them to our friends. read more

Jay and his crew were great from start to end. Jay took the time to review my project and go through all the options that would work best. Daniel and Mike that did my electrical work were professional, fast and did a great job cleaning up after work was done. I would highly recommend and will be using again for any future needs. Thanks Jay! read more
