Best Handymans in Phoenix, AZ

I had a side yard gate that came away from the blocks.  I was told 1230pm was the appointment time and confirmed it.  I was called and asked if I could push the time back due to a "chandelier emergency" in Scottsdale.  I was told it would be around 4pm.  It was nearly 7pm by the time he got here.  After completing the job, I asked if I could pay with my credit card.  He said, sure just lemme put my tools away.  It took nearly 20 minutes for him to put his tools away and lock up a ladder on his roof.  He then told me that he had been here earlier in the day at 2pm and realized it was an "easy" job, which is why he wanted to get the job in Scottsdale done first.  It would seem more efficient to do the job that was "easy", especially since you were already here...  After finally taking my payment, he asked me to give him a good review on Yelp even though he was late because "at least he got it done".  He gave me a coupon for $25 off service to give to other people, yet did not offer any discount to me for being late and not communicating.  I had to contact Adam via Yelp to find out what was going on...  The job seems done adequately.  Overall I can sum it up just like Yelp does for three stars as "A-OK".

I was able to get an appointment with Kyle quickly. Showed up on time, did great work and did it quickly. I threw a couple extra little projects at him while he was here and he fit them in. And bonus: He was friendly and fun to talk to. Will be using him again!

We have had Pepe come out 3 times already to do various repairs/projects.  He is very quick to respond and shows up on time.  Very reasonable and honest.  I highly recommend him!!

Russ was amazing!! He fixed the issue I was having and some. He does amazing work and will 100% fix whatever the issue is. Great guy!!

Reading some of Gary's negative reviews it seems that a lot of people have had similar experiences. Gary might be able to do some quality work, but I wouldn't know because he's just not professional at all.

We reached out to Gary after buying a new house in Arcadia a while back and he told us that whenever we were ready he could help us with installing ceiling fans, blinds, and whatever we may need (score!) but when we called him back to schedule something he was sick and told me he would call me back in a week.

A week goes by with no phone call, so I call him-- but no answer... and his vm is full. so I waited a couple more days and called him again, still no answer; so this time I followed up with a text asking if he was still interested in helping us out with our handyman needs and he replied yes and to let him know when we would like him to come help.

Perfect! I called him when I got back to Phoenix and he didn't answer (of course), so I texted asking when he was available and he asked if he could schedule me in for between 1-2pm on Thursday. Yes I replied, then I texted asking him a couple questions about estimates for hanging large blinds and included photos. He ignored my texts that night about the quote/estimate altogether, so I texted asking if he received my messages requesting an estimate to which he replied "Yes, I'll look at them when I'm at your house." (Not really an answer or estimate- kind of slippery).

So today rolls around and of course I'm at home waiting on this handyman to show up (of course I organized my day around him) 14 minutes before he was due for our appointment, he cancels.

He says: "Can we meet Saturday 9-930? Caught up in work."
(No apology for the inconvenience, or wasting my time, just a crap text).

Me: "You know Gary, let me talk to my boyfriend about it. After reading your Yelp! reviews we expected a little more professionalism to be honest."

He says: "Well I've been sick for the last month and been out of commission. I've been trying to catch up on my jobs. Sorry if you feel that way. I know I can't make everyone happy.

Me: "It's not a feeling. You cancelled 15 minutes before you were scheduled to show up and have been unresponsive and not very communicative with me. Those are facts. While I understand it's impossible to make everybody happy, you could do a much better job by being a little more professional.

Then-- radio silence.

Gary, you can make customers happy; how about apologizing when you're wrong and unprofessional instead of #1: making excuses, then #2: blaming me, or acting like I'm the one with unrealistic expectations when I've accommodated the date and time YOU chose and then flaked on. Would not recommend.

Luis did a wonderful job with cutting and installing new bypass doors on our closet. He was very careful to ensure they were properly adjusted. I really appreciated his care with cleanup as well! Highly recommend!

I contacted Michele's Master Handymen to repair a few things in my new home.  This company is very professional, experienced and communicates well thru texts, emails and phone calls.  I have used them twice now and I can say I WILL DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN!  George is the one that came to my home.   What an incredible, knowledgeable person.  He did quite a few "different" things in my home (fencing, shelving, doors, hung pictures, etc) and did a beautiful job.  I believe he can do anything!!!  Thank you so much for the care you put into each task.  It's really nice to know there is a handyman company out there that I can trust!

Michelle is awesome and very understanding.  Will definitely be using her for any future jobs.

Stan is terrific and Id hire him. He polished the tarnished hinges on 13 doors and now they glisten like new! Mary B

I did a yelp search for a handyman and had several responses. We picked Hammertime Handyman as his response was the quickest. We had a small job to replace some flooring and his work was impeccable. Chris is a young motivated energetic young man who has great ability and motivation. His work was high-quality and his business model is of high integrity and high ethics.
His prices were reasonable and he did the job within two hours. Cleaned up and left the area immaculate. Highly recommend Chris for handyman type jobs. He says he does almost everything in terms of  homeowner repairs.

I was able to schedule a repairman within a week from my call.  Jesse arrived on time and provided a reasonable estimate for my job of recalibrating my shower cartridges, repairing my shower door and floor molding.  I highly recommend them.

I bought new coach lights for my newly painted house but had to leave town on a family emergency before I could install them prior to a Memorial Day party. At first I posted the job on Yelp under "Electricians" and got quotes of several hundreds of dollars weeks in the future. Then I posted it under "Handyman" and got a number of replies. Mark was at my house in less than 24 hours (on a Saturday) and installed both lights for under $100. I didn't feel this was fair to him so I rounded up. I'm a realtor, so I saved Mark's info in my phone for the next time a client needs a BINSR rescue (the list of repairs buyers deliver to a seller in lieu of cancelling the contract). Mark handles many kinds of home repairs and installations. Highly recommend.

Good communication. Prompt and professional. Had a quick fix to my issue, door is operating correctly now.

I had Mike over to do a few things for me and he did a great job. He is fast and on-time. Plus, his clock seems to run slower than mine does so he charges less than I expected. Finally, he is just a good guy and taught me how to do a few things so I could handle them next time. Will definitely call again.

Steve was more than I ever could have asked for, and I will 100% be calling him back out as soon as I figure out where I want pictures/artwork, and another set of curtains put up.Not only was he able to work around my limited schedule and make time to come help the following day, but he also was able to help me with so many things in such little time. Originally I had asked Best Buy how much it would cost for them to put up two TVs on the wall and it was going to be around $150 per TV. Steve charges by the hour and since he's extremely experienced in things like that, it took under an hour for each, AND he was able to help fix things I had honestly forgotten about- or didn't know if he would be able to help with- such as fixing my entertainment center that was wiggly and has misaligned drawers thanks to ikeas crappy installation. Not only was Steven fast and friendly, you can just tell he genuinely loves his job, even with the plethora of tasks that it may include. I would absolutely recommend him anytime, without hesitation! Thanks for everything Steve! We'll be in contact again soon :)

I was able to get everything scheduled quickly, Scott was super communicative and flexible on the start time. I'm very happy with my newly installed flooring, it's beautiful. I definitely will use Scott again for more projects.

I hired AZ You Wish to install a mini blow up spa in my backyard. They arrived on time and ready to work. Super friendly, good suggestions, and highly skilled. This company went the extra mile and recommended a different vendor for a project he was not able to complete, which in my opinion speaks volumes to his integrity. This company will be my go to as we transition in to our new house in Estrella!

I have to say I'm impressed.  Start to finish, very professional scheduling, reminding, and of course Abel who showed up on time, has a strong work ethic (rare these days), very kind, and got the job done.  We had 8 aging french doors that were in all sorts of stuck states and not quite working right.  He made them all glide like new and it was not an easy job.  Left me with some good tips on silicon spray and where to clean to keep things working better.  We do lots of work on houses, and have had plenty of excellent, terrible and mediocre service and workmanship.  I would without question request Abel to come do work again at my home.  Really appreciate it!!!

Erick,
Was thorough, on time , knowledgeable, and will call again for the next project !

Tom is a great to work with!  Super quick to respond to phone calls and texts, and does such a great work, honest about the repairs, and his pricing.  If you are looking for a Handyman in the Anthem area, look no further.  Tom will respond, follow up, complete any repairs, or recommend someone else to do so, if he is not able.
