Tami D.
I just wanted to comment on the exceptional service I just received from your company this morning and the craftsman James Cook. What appeared to be a simple chandelier install exposed a broken mounting box that James quickly improvised and replaced with a box he had in his truck. He was then able to install my light and a dimmer and finish the original work. He's even more particular than I am and made sure the light was centered, hanging straight and at the height I preferred. These days service seems to be low on the totem pole of so many businesses and I just wanted you to know how impressed I am with your company and James. He truly is an asset in skill and personality and I'm already starting my "list" for his next visit. Thank you for such a pleasant experience.

We had laminate flooring put in our home and were so impressed by the quality and professionalism the handyman had. I have numerous other jobs that I wouldn't think twice about calling Handyman Matters again. Thank you!
Beth K - Hummelstown, PA
My online request was promptly answered by Heather, your customer service representative, as well as a confirmation follow-up call. The screening service makes the expense worthwhile. It is a relief to have a qualified technican. Ken provided quality service and didn't slack on the job. I will recommend your service to my friends.
Elaine S.- Middletown, PA
As usual, craftsman was professional and thorough.
Roger B.
Jim took the time to come out to make sure everything was going as planned. Jesse was very professional and answered all of our questions and took the time to explain everything. We will definitely be using Handyman Matters again!

Janice S.
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent service you provided when we were faced with the need to disassemble and move 20 office cubicles and assorted furniture on short notice.
Since we had not done business with your company before, we were apprehensive about using you for a project of this magnitude and time sensitivity. We had no way of knowing if you could live up to the claims of prompt, reliable, and reasonable service that were promised in the flyer you sent to us. The fact that one phone call generated a quote within 24 hours convinced us that you were super-responsive and the right company for our need.
In addition, we appreciated the communication on the progress of the project and the recommendation to utilize a moving company to insure completion with the timeframe required. But what really impressed us was that the entire job was completed in less than one week with minimal involvement from our staff, and at a very reasonable price.
Bob, you have renewed my faith that there are still businesses out there that provide their customers with ultimate service.”
Sincerely,
Candy O., e-PRO

“I couldn’t let another day go by without writing to tell you how pleased I am with the superior service your company provided to me.
Having just experienced a handyman rip-off to the tune of $800, I was apprehensive about dealing with another unknown entity. As soon as I spoke to Connie, your Customer Service Representative, I realized that I was dealing with a different kind of handyman service, one that was concerned and super-responsive to my needs. Connie listened to my problem patiently and sympathetically, explained how you bill time and materials, your 100% satisfaction guarantee, and no payment until the job is complete. That convinced me that I had found a professional and reliable company.
Bad weather forced us to reschedule the original work date, and that process was handled smoothly and efficiently. Jim, your Senior Craftsman, appeared, as planned, on the new work date and proceeded with completing the storm door installation, repairing a bedroom door, and repairing my doorbell wiring in a timely manner. WOW, three different jobs done promptly and professionally and at a reasonable price, and Jim even cleaned up after himself.
If all of your employees are as courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable as Connie and Jim, I am sure that Handyman Matters will be the most successful home repair and improvement company in the region. You can be sure that you will be at the top of my list, and I will certainly recommend you to my friends and neighbors.”
Sincerely,
Larry W.
