"Was recommended to handiCo, Nancy, Joe and Andrew did not disappoint. I needed upper kitchen cabinets center and a drywall section repaired. As an owner/property manager I will be using their services again …."

"I've worked with Handico throughout the years and so far they don't disappoint. This year and last, they sent Andrew for our wall-ceiling repair projects and he was very courteous, professional, and diligent. We will continue to look to Handico, Inc. for our handyman projects. Hopefully, they won't get too busy after this review. ;)=)"

"I used HandiCo a number of times at my old condo and was very pleased, so when I needed some “honey do” projects in my home, I didn’t hesitate to call. As usuals they were prompt with responding and scheduling and generally things went well. I did deduct a star for two things: first, one of the projects never got completed- I don’t know if he just forgot about it or what, but I realized it wasn’t done until after he left. It’s a small one that I guess I could do on my own, but part of the reason I hired a handyman to do it was because I don’t have time to do it myself. The second issue was that another project involved pulling out a permanently installed window air conditioner: whoever installed it used a ton of nails, glue, and who knows what else to jerry-rig it into place. To get it out, he actually had to use an electric saw, cutting through plywood and nails/screws. Unfortunately the AC is right by our children’s playpen and toys, and though he moved the playpen out of the way, I wish he had told me before he started cutting so I could have draped a drop cloth or something over it so the kids things wouldn’t be covered in sawdust and metal shavings. We ended up having to hand-clean every toy and I was worried we couldn’t get it all (my children are infants so they still put everything in their mouth). So overall a good experience, but those two issues were really disappointing."

"Joe, Pablo and Demond were great to work with. They painted my place and repaired some smaller issues before I listed my place. I was so comfortable I left town while they did the work and arrived home to my place looking great. They are friendly, knowledgeable and I'd use them again."

"We hired Handico to help us with our kitchen renovation (just completed in May 2021) for the demolition part. (The company we bought cabinets and countertops from only does installs). This our third time working with Handico for different household repairs/projects. The previous two times turned out great, so we had no hesitation calling them for this job. Working with Joe to set up the dates and the work to be done was easy… all over the phone, with some images shared via email. Since Handico works on a time-and-material basis (ie hourly rate), it really makes arranging the work so much easier (in my opinion, anyway). We needed the following done: (1) Take down and remove all existing cabinets and counter tops, (2) remove the soffit that the upper cabinets were anchored to, (3) patch-up where the soffit used to be, and other areas as needed, (4) relocate electrical outlets for the range and Microwave hood, (5) hook up new plumbing to the new sink. Joe was very keen to our needs; he even sent one of his guys over to check the soffit as an “advance scout” to eliminate any surprises and secrets the soffit may be hiding (it turned out to be empty). Joe also requested the drawings and spec sheet of our new kitchen provided by the cabinet company to ensure that the area is properly prepped. He definitely knew what needed to be done. The work: Joe sent Luis to tackle the job. While a 2nd guy came aboard to help with the demo, Luis was clearly the guy in charge. Luis was very professional and he knows his trade very very well. I’ll try to attach some pictures to show what was done. Whenever possible, Luis would ask what needed to be asked. When necessary, Luis would pull me aside and explain what he needed to do. And when I wasn’t catching on, Luis was also very patient with me. I did my best to stay out of his way. In the end, Luis and Handico left the site how it needed to be. The day after, our Cabinets were installed uneventfully. Not a single complaint from the installers. The upper cabinets were mounted where the soffit used to be. Base cabinets were put in. All cabinets were cut out for new plumbing and outlets; perfectly placed by Luis the day before. Aside from the fact that we discovered my walls aren’t square (typical for a home built in 1949), the whole project went without a hitch. Luis did come back to finish the plumbing after the sink and countertops were put in. Handico delievered! This was definitely a big job. While I can’t say it was stress-free (hey, it’s still a kitchen reno), I couldn’t be any happier on the end result. And without Handico, it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did. We will hire them again in the future. Oh yeah, the Cabinet people were great, too… but that’s for a different review."
