Garys Handyman Service

Gary and crew did a drywall repair a few hours after I called. I was very happy with the fast response, easy communication, and good repair job. Would definitely ask him for help on future repairs.

Asked Gary to help us to install a new water heater. He also helped us to take away the old water heater without charge. This is the second time we asked for his help. Very good service. We are happy with the result. Will ask his help again if we need to.

Gary was very responsive and professional. I needed a quote for a fire resistance door replacement and probably called 10 places. Gary was very easy to talk to and came to the property to measure the size of the door next day. He was on time every time, and always got back to me right away when I had questions. When dealing with any types of contractors, the communication is the key. Gary responded to my text and calls very quick. I was very happy with his work and ended up having him fixing the kitchen faucet as well. Thank you Gary!

I called Gary to set up an appointment and he responded immediately and made time for us, even with short notice.
He solved our problem immediately and since it was a simple fix, he wouldn't accept payment. I couldn't have been more pleased and appreciative. Would highly recommend his services.

I was moving and needed my curtain rods and tv mount get unscrewed from the wall. I called first 3 handyman that were listed on yelp in my location and nobody wanted to do the job. Gary was the one who was very responsive and came in to help me out. I definitely recommend.

Gary came to the house on short notice to look at a possible leak in the kitchen and electrical short in the bathroom lighting. Turned out there was no leak under the kitchen sink and the electric short in the bathroom - just loose wiring. The best part was that Gary did not charge me a single penny. I'm a customer for life. Thanks Gary.

I found Gary's on yelp. I hired him to do a drywall repair and patch job. He and his crew were available to me and finished the job in a timely manner. He took the time line very serious as I had a pregnant tenant, and when my insurance company called a second time to get verification that the work was actually done, he happily provided documentation so I would get my final reimbursement. All in all a good experience. A+ plus plus plus plus

It is unfortunate that you have to leave at least one star on Yelp.

I was very disappointed to find, after looking at the work completed by Gary's Handyman Service, that the roof eave facia boards were not primed coated, and were not even painted on the edges or the back side, and only the face was single coated, with a thin enough coat that you can even see the brush strokes. The gutter bracket supports were all cut/removed and were not replaced. The nails that were removed from the gutters were just left lying on top of the roofing material. Gary and his workers didn't even go the little extra mile to remove the leaves from the gutter that he removed, then replaced... he could have turned the gutter upside down to dump the leaves. He tried to tell me that the gutter bracket supports were that way when he got there...NO, they definitely were not...the cut/grind marks are fresh! When confronted, he tried to argue that the wood had indeed been primed and painted, but as you can see in the photo, the exposed edge (and back side that you can't see) has not even been primed! This is a roof facia board that is exposed to sun and rain alike, and without being properly primed/painted, there will again be dry rot, which was the reason he was contacted in the first place! All he could say about everything he did incorrectly was 'it's no biggi', ' it's no biggi'...if it wasn't a 'biggi', then why wasn't it done properly in the first place?! At first, I requested he come back and finish the job properly, and as promised. As communications went back and forth, I decided I didn't even want him back on the property. I would rather pay someone who is reputable come and redo his mess.

Again, I am very disappointed with Gary's work. My mother-in-law is 88 years old and she paid a premium price in order to get this work done, and I didn't question it because I thought he would do a professional job. It is not good to take advantage of anyone, but an 88-year-old woman?! Because most people won't/can't go up on a roof, or check out concealed areas, that doesn't mean that it's not expected that you perform your work in a professional manner.

I would strongly suggest you use someone else for your needs...ANYONE else!

Gary's honesty, work ethic, integrity and quality of work are COMPLETELY subpar.

I had an issue with my staircase that nobody wanted to tackle until I called Gary. I told him about my issue and he LISTENED to my need rather than just assuming what I wanted like so many others that I called before him. I had a spiral staircase that needed to be reinforced to my loft. Gary shows up all no nonsense, takes a look and diagnoses the issue in a very logical way. Hey we all know sometimes you gotta think outside the realm of conventional thinking to resolve a problem. I appreciated that he uses his brain to solve a problem rather than just doing template work as a handyman. That issue got fixed along with him installing 2 faucets, and a valve that was totally broken that would have leaked in the future. I also like to mention that he spent extra time to figure out how to shut off the water in the complex to no avail but he CAME BACK another day in the middle of his busy schedule when I did figure out how to shut the water off. Gary goes above and beyond, is very clean, and has a fair rate as well. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending his services for anybody that needs some handy work.

Sunday morning our kitchen faucet breaks and our usual plumber doesn't work on Sundays so I jump on Yelp to look for local handymen in our area. Even though on Yelp it says he was Closed on Sunday, I still requested for a quote. To our surprise, he responded within the hour and said he would be available after lunch! The price he quoted was reasonable for labor--not the most expensive and not the lowest. When Gary came, he took a look at the existing faucet and the new faucet we bought and let us know which parts was still needed. My husband went out to go get the parts at the Home Depot nearby, so I think that helped with minimizing the cost of the repair/replacement. Gary was very quick and finished up within 2 hours (and that was including the time waiting for my husband to get the correct parts). He left his business card behind for us which states he is fully insured. I would definitely reach out to him again in the future if we have anything else.
