Handyman came out to look at damage on my outside wall, as I wanted an estimate. I paid them for taking off a few cedar boards, and repairing of bird house. Paid $480.00. They determined wood was rotten and suggested a fan to dry out rotted wood. Then proceeded to charge me another $540.00 for an estimate/inspection? With a a final estimate of $6062.70. I am an elderly widow that built my home with my husband 40 years ago and know when I have been taken advantage of. At the end of the day this job... when hiring someone honest is worth $1800.00.

Mr. Handyman is sorry you were not satisfied with your recent service. We make every attempt to provide as much information as possible. Our pricing is typically higher than an independent contractor as we ensure our professional technicians have at least 10 years of experience, are bonded and insured for your protection, arrive in uniform and a company van with their own tools and are ready to work. To clarify, Mr. Handyman in no way has tried to take advantage of you or your personal situation. This was an issue that went from being replacing some damaged boards to discovering years worth of mold and rot to the home's structure, due to high humidity levels. Unfortunately you did not see the value in remedying the issues and declined to proceed with our quote. Mr. Handyman will never do a "band-aid" repair on anything as we clearly explained to you by our highly qualified technician.
