This is an update to a review I left on 6/13/22. I'm…read moresharing my family's experience with Bobby Coil, owner of B&B Handyman Pros, located on 612 Morton Street, Peoria, IL 61603. My parent's home needed to be renovated and I searched for contractors in the area. Unfortunately, most of them weren't available until next year, and I needed someone who could start soon. During the renovation, my parents moved in with me (I live in St. Augustine, FL) until their home was finished. That's when I found Bobby Coil. He was great at the beginning - he was able to start asap, he said he had experience working with long-distance clients, and he was very responsive. He quoted $4,000 to replace the floor, paint the interior, replace the bathroom, and kitchen, and replace the back door. He was great at keeping us up-to-date with everything he was doing - sending us pictures, etc. He would contact me a few times a day, every day. He said that he just started his business so he would appreciate it if we left a positive review for him, which I gladly did. As for payment method, he would only accept CashApp/Paypal at the time which was annoying as they have a limit of what you can send so I had to do several, and I got flagged for fraud and I had to verify with Paypal, etc. We asked if he could accept a money order/cashier check so he would get his money and he was fine with that. There was extra work that came up during the renovation, so he requested that we pay him more than the original bid, which was fine. So in total, we paid him $7,000. We placed online orders at Lowe's so he could pick them up or we could have them delivered. Our relationship was great. Then on Friday, July 22nd, 2022, he texts me that he had a mild heat stroke so he will be out of commission for a while. I told him that he should take care of himself and we'll stay in touch. My boyfriend, my daughter, and I were away on vacation for a week. On August 1st, 2022, I text to check on how he was doing, and no response. Then I called him and I received an automated message that the number is no longer in service. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I thought maybe because he said he would be out of commission that he decided to disconnect his number, but if that was the case he should have let us know beforehand. I didn't have an email address so I wrote him a letter and sent it certified. I received status updates from USPS to let me know when it was delivered. I received a notification from USPS that it was signed for and left with the individual yesterday, Friday, August 13, 2022 around 4pm EST. I immediately receive a call from a number that I didn't recognize. I was on my way to pick up my daughter from daycare so I couldn't answer it and they left a voicemail. Well, it was from Bobby's wife and she began the message with - "I'm so sorry, but I have no idea where he is. He disappeared." I COULD NOT believe what I was hearing. I immediately had my boyfriend call her back and according to her story, he overdraft her account by $600 and just disappeared. He said he was going for a walk and never came back. She said she has been getting calls and messages from other people that already paid him, but he never showed up to do the job. We apologized to her and felt bad that she was going through this, and explained that we will have to notify the police as he scammed us. He hasn't finished what he promised and I have copies of our contract, a paper trail of our payments to him, etc. I hope he can be found so we can get some of my parent's money back. They are retired and live on their Social Security so they don't have that much money and I feel so horrible for them. Bobby's wife said he might be at his parent's house, but isn't sure. We told her that we will stay in touch in case we need anything. I have never ever been scammed and hope this can be resolved legally.

A home inspection that came in late required us to put in handrails on two stairways. We are new to the community and could find no one. Darrell gave me a quote and came and did the work. His work was solid. He was professional and done quickly. My husband and I were so grateful! Because the work had been so good on the handrails, we talked to him about a couple of other odd jobs and our new home he installed a pantry, medicine cabinet, and was honest with us about the fact we would not be able to install a garbage disposal. In addition he did a few other odd jobs while he was here. His work is always top-notch, he is pleasant to deal with, and we have been more than satisfied. I would say that you get what you pay for. His work isn't cheap, but his quality is outstanding and he is very good to work with. We are in the process of having him come back and do more work. He is helping us make our house a home!

The project included gutting and rebuilding my kitchen and 3 bathrooms, installing new hardwood floors and all new trim. He replaced all light fixtures and installed new appliances. My family room had the original paneled walls, which he removed and replaced with drywall. He even refinished the original staircase treads to match the new hardwood floors. His brother Justin, is a very talented tiler and installed new marble flooring in all 3 bathrooms and beautiful Carrara marble in my shower. Zach finished by painting the entire interior of my home and exterior porch and trim. I am a perfectionist and pay close attention to detail. Zach's work is exceptional!
