Best Drywall Repair in Chicago IL

I've used Fixer to work on a couple of things around my house and they've been fine with basic handyman work. However, my most recent experience has been a nightmare that I have to share with the community.

I had a porch swing that needed to be rehung. I asked before booking Fixer if this was within their scope and they said that it was. The handyman they sent was clearly in over his head, unable to complete the task, and actually ended up causing damage to my porch roof. When I asked Fixer to evaluate the damage and work on a solution, they sent another handyman out to simply rehang the swing instead of evaluating the damage caused by the previous staff member.

After I sent Fixer photos of the damage, they insisted that the damage was already there or caused by someone else and not their employee. This is a common tactic from companies that frankly aren't trustworthy and I was surprised they responded this way. As a return customer, I was disappointed by the lack of accountability from Fixer. Unfortunately, when something goes wrong with their work, Fixer will refuse to take responsibility and leave you holding the bag for repairing damage their employees caused. Please look for other handyman services and avoid this company.

I had Jamie and Adrian install a ceiling fan and do a few other things I wasn't able to do myself. They arrived on time and completed work without problems. Very kind and professional. Will definitely use them again.

This is the 3rd or 4th time using Fixer for a home improvement project and these guys are great.  The are always in time, very professional and work quickly and efficiently.  If you have any home improvement project it seems like they will be able to do it faster and more effectively than anyone else at a very reasonable price.  I look forward to using them in the future they are now my only choice when it comes to projects I can't do myself around the house.

HandiCo was contracted to replace our front door of our Condo Building.  They were prompt to issue a contract with a quote and managed the scheduling of the project with good communication and accurate dates of service.  The project took a little over a day's work to complete and the front door was installed properly, painted nicely, and worked without any issues especially the front door buzzer/lock.  We would 100% recommend them for future work at our building and within our unit.

Great job! The process was super easy and Steve was great! I will use Fixer again!

A+++

ServiceMax came to fix an issue with our outdoor condo lighting. From start to finish they were great! Highly recommend.

We had Billy install a new 50 gallon hot water heater, new garbage disposal and new sump pump with battery backup.  Great job and total professional.  This guy is the ultimate handyman.  He even gave some tips on other issues in my house and was very easy to talk to.  Highly recommend and pricing was good.

We couldn't be happier with the work that Master Handymen did on a rental property for us. They delivered earlier than the projected time, communication was frequent and friendly, and everything was done perfectly. Gino and his team were great to work with- all very nice and thoughtful. Our property is almost 100 years old, and we had some tricky elements to navigate, but Gino solved all of our plumbing and electrical issues to help us bring the kitchen and bathroom up to date. The pricing was fair and transparent. I'm a first -time homeowner, and Gino and his team were really helpful in teaching my husband and I about various aspects of home maintenance, too. Since our work was done during Covid, all the guys were really diligent in mask wearing, too.
I will definitely use Master Handymen again!

The pricing is confusing. I was charged an $89 fee to show up which I understood as what would typically be the diagnostic fee and then $125/hr. The guy was here for 20 min, could not actually do the repair, and needed to go do research to see if the parts were available to do the work and I am left with a $214 bill. As an architect who works with construction people on a daily bases, this is not how I have ever seen someone do business. I would say to make sure that they have the capability to do the job and get everything in writing beforehand.

I was very happy with the work done by Welter Home Services.  Kevin was easy to reach and communicate with, especially given how busy they are.  Kevin and Dan put in a garbage disposal (including all necessary wiring/switching) and new closet doors for us, and we will be using them to re-tile our bathroom floor as soon as we decide on tile.  They also replaced a shut-off valve for the kitchen sink, and when our main supply valve to the house got stuck (common on older houses), Kevin quickly coordinated a licensed emergency plumber and the Village Public Works department, to get the water shut off at the street and the main supply valves replaced immediately.  I highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

We used Hilman to fix some drywall issues, paint our house and install some wainscoting.  Chris was thorough and the price was very reasonable.  We plan on using Hilman for future projects and highly recommend Chris and his team !!

Eligio did a really great job installing our water filtration system that involved reconfiguring sink plumbing and drilling a hole through the granite countertop. Everything works great and looks great as well!
