Testimonials
Hi Rich,
The men fixed the toilet, bathroom sink, tub drain and collected the check today. Thanks for all you did - we will keep in touch.
Have good weekend.
Jeannine
Previous contractors did work for me and left furniture moved, lamps unplugged, TVs not working, and pictures out of order. Rich and company painted two rooms and installed carpet. They moved things neatly and put them back in working order when finished. The job was organized, clean, and neat. Thank you Rich, Pete, and Gabriel.
Sam
We hired Handyman Matters (San Jose) to help us clean out and organize our 4-car garage. We had been putting this task off for 11 years! Even when faced with the challenge of 11 years worth of belongings in chaos, Pete and Dave were great workers. They were professional, good-humored, and hard-working. It only took two days for them to build new cabinets for the garage, take everything out and patiently put it all back together in a well-organized fashion, bit-by-bit. I will not hesitate to hire them again! It was a pleasure.
Anglina, Silver Creek Valley Country Club resident
Your research into the best way to handle a complex engineering change at one of our key clients paid off! The location called me to thank us for the superior on time install.
Another handyman had been at the second location and in two days had managed to cut one hole and then walked off the job.
We pushed out your experience to techs in other regions which helped us control the risk in the program. Thanks to you and the guys!
Jaimie
We had a number of projects to be completed to prepare our home for sale. We were
fortunate enough to find Handyman Matters. Rich and company responded immediately
to my request for some work on our garage doors. I was so pleased with the quick
response and the work done that we discussed having other items on my list done by his
crew.
Rich's Handyman Matters crew wound up doing painting, electrical, carpentry and floor
tile work. During This process Rich made several suggestions about little touches that
have improved to appeal of our house to potential home buyers. Rich's knowledge and
experience has been a definite asset in preparing our home for sale.
Steve Corwin
Let me say again how much I appreciate the invaluable help you and your team provided me. Without your assistance my quick sale and on-time move would not have been possible.
The Handyman Matters team not only mastered my household repair dilemmas, but also recommended and implemented simple improvements, thus aiding in a speedy and profitable sale of my house! Thanks guys! _______________________________________________________________________________ June 4, 2008 our client put her house on the market and the realtor held an open house that weekend. They received Nine (9) offers and by Sunday night had settled on a deal.
And what a deal it is. No contingencies, escrow to close June 30, 2008, house accepted as is, price $86k over asking price of $1,350,000 ($1,436,000). This is the highest sale in neighborhood to date. This Handyman Matters Ready To Sell Program produced a client return over expense ratio of better than 8 to 1!
