He took the time to work with us in our budget, recommended materials that were of high quality and long lasting, crafted the cedar spindles from scratch and designed it to fit the existing frame.

I would recommend him to anyone and plan to use him again for other work.

I hired Mr. Handyman for several minor household repairs, including replacing a bathroom sink…read morehandle, installing gutter guards, repairing a small section of siding, and realigning a few closet doors. Unfortunately, the quality of the work was disappointing. The siding was tacked into place but left unsealed, potentially allowing water to penetrate. The bathroom faucet work resulted in a leaking sink, deep gouges in the vanity around both faucets, and metal shavings scattered throughout the bathroom--a particularly concerning issue in a bathroom used by my children. Mr. Handyman offered a $250 refund and agreed to correct the workmanship issues. Although the repairs were eventually completed, they subsequently changed the refund offer to store credit only. Since the experience left me unwilling to use their services again, store credit was not an acceptable resolution. I also left voicemail and text messages in an attempt to resolve the matter, but received no response. That lack of communication ultimately prompted me to share my experience here. Beyond the cost and quality of the original work, the necessary repairs and remediation required me to take four days off from work to address the problems. The additional time, inconvenience, and disruption to my family's routine further compounded an already frustrating experience. My dissatisfaction is not simply about the original workmanship issues, but also about the additional burden of correcting those issues and the change in the company's proposed resolution. I believe these factors should be taken into account when evaluating the overall experience and the appropriateness of the company's response. I would not recommend Mr. Handyman and will not be using their services again.

The quote was around the middle of the ones I saw, and I got a good vibe from Michael, so I decided to go with them. I'm incredibly happy with the work they did - they matched the existing features (trim, door style etc) of the house perfectly. They had good ideas and brought up things to consider, and additional costs for any changes along the way were reasonable. The guys who worked at my house were incredibly friendly and polite. The work turned out amazing - better than I had even hoped. Can't recommend them enough and will definitely go back to them for any similar work in the future.

This was the second time I've used Monk's for painting projects at my home in Morris Plains, and…read moreonce again I was extremely happy with the results. The first project, several years ago, involved painting multiple interior rooms and crown molding. Most recently, I hired them to paint three new structural porch columns and my front door. While that may sound like a straightforward job, it really wasn't. Black structural columns are not something you see every day, so preparation, product selection, and attention to detail were critical to getting the look I wanted and ensuring the finish would hold up to the elements. Bob came out to provide the estimate. He was professional, easy to work with, and, most importantly, took the time to listen to what I was trying to achieve and the concerns I had about the project. He was also able to get the work scheduled within the same week. I worked closely with Ron, who I believe was the lead painter on the job. He was incredibly knowledgeable and detail-oriented. I supplied the INSL-X primer recommended for fiberglass columns and discussed paint options with him. He agreed with the approach and helped ensure the project was done the right way rather than just the fastest way. The work took two full days and exceeded my expectations. The crew took great care to protect my brand-new porch, covering the decking and railings thoroughly so there was no risk of paint getting where it didn't belong. What really stood out was the follow-up. Both Bob and Ron checked in independently after the work was completed to make sure I was satisfied. They also made it clear that if any issues came up, they would come back and make it right. The pricing was fair, the workmanship was excellent, and the customer service was outstanding from start to finish. It's refreshing to work with a company that still takes pride in doing quality work and standing behind it. I plan to use Monk's again next year for additional interior painting projects and would not hesitate to recommend them.

Very professional and open, honest, and looking to help you find your balance of value and quality.

Rained pretty heavily on Friday and he reached out and said he thinks it would be best to reschedule for Saturday at 9am due to needing to possibly saw some pieces outside. Liked that he took the initiative to reschedule instead of taking a chance. Showed up perfectly on time on Saturday, all supplies ready to go. Told us he thought the work would take 2-3 hours- he was done in about an hour! Did a great job and you can't even tell the difference between the existing door frame and the new piece. Left everything in great condition and requested a broom so he sweep up. We also have a kitchen cabinet that cracked- and wanted to show him.
