Handyman Connection Reviews

Extraordinarily dissapointing!
I requested a service call for an electrician to come in and change some pot lights. I provided the material. I have extras on hand. Anyways, long story short, when I went to use the light later in the day it was flickering. It was not operational out at the start and the fact that it was flickering indicated to me that it likely was not installed right. Perhaps a loose wire. Anyway, when I reached out to ask about a service guarantee, the owner went ham on me and said it was my fault, and implied it was bad parts. The right thing to do would be to say no problem, let me have someone come out and look at it. I found the man to be rude and condescending. In a nutshell, Jiffy here I come!

The turn around time was delayed due to confusion regarding the cost of the project. Mixed feedback provided between consumer and multiple project managers/staff. Work was adequately completed but overpriced for what was accomplished. Will likely not use their services in the future.

Handyman Connections of Chicago, owner Dave Corken. Terrible experience.
Original review Jul 21, 2019
TERRIBLE! PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY AS I DID!!!! Dave Corken presented himself as the owner and did the estimate. He then sent out TK to do the actual work on my bathroom rehab. What was estimated to be a 5-day job turned into 2 months of disaster. I had to fire Handyman Connection and hire new group to fix all the damage Handyman Connection did in addition to doing the actual rehab they were supposed to do. And they took over my entire living space and caused damage there too!! Few examples of Handyman Connections' malpractice: - Tiles on bathroom wall were wavy and falling off even before work done - Wrong measurements on tub - Installed a new electrical switch in middle of wall rather than combining with existing switches 6" over - Chipped and cracked floor tiles before or after put in but nonetheless all were cracked and had to be removed - Messed up my electrical throughout house - Did not protect my hardwood floors as contracted to do and damaged Dave Corken apologized and admitted all the work his co. did was terrible, he brought in another worker Jonathan and they did take out all the defective work. Jonathan apologized. Cost me over $2K in wasted product and additional $5K+ in damage throughout house!!!! Dave Corken's insurance co. told me he went MIA so they denied the claim. I considering whether to sue. Such a fly-by-night operation. In addition, the first worker they sent repeatedly told me about his money problems, and the Dunkin Donuts attached to my parking space, which he had access to, was robbed while he had my keys. I gave his info to police as part of their investigation. SAVE YOURSELF TIME, EXPENSE, AND HASSLE - DO NOT USE!!!

Don't *** with my Finances
I used Handyman Connection and they charged me three times! The workman, who did an excellent job, presented me with an invoice, which I paid for by check. Then on my AMX card I had two more charges for the same job. All of the charges for the completed job were different. No supplies were needed. The repairman did not need emergency care or hospitalization! I noticed that the review boxes do not list MANAGEMENT. I wonder why?
Grayson
Crooked Manager in Vancouver, Canada
My dispute with Handyman Connection and Owner Manager Haider Ghazi: It can happen to You! After a bad job from this company/Franchise, I had a good fight with Haider Ghazi for denying the guarantee in workmanship, He stablished His ground and like a mule he didn't walk the talk. The 'one year labour guarantee" and the "total home protection" gave Me confidence that all will be fine, but I was wrong, is only to hook You in to signing before completion, and resulted to be false promises. The description in the Labour Quotation and the invoice had different wording and this is where the problem arises. so be careful, don't pay and don't sign until the description in both documents are exactly what you want, because Mr. Ghazi adds words that don't come in the description. After learning My mistake that trusting got Me in to this situation, (because I thought that people is like Me an honest guy with integrity) and because I don't have the habit of paying for a bad job, I retained certain amount of money with My credit card company who investigated with the merchants bank and I quote what they said "We investigated and found that the merchants bank accepted liability from Handyman Connection" (I have proof of this) After this incident, I didn't hear from HMC again, until January 2019, this is 9 months after this incident. Haider Ghazi said to Me by e mail that he had placed a lien in My property, this was a lie that enraged Me and I detected that this guy wanted to make this problem bigger and in my opinion, Ghazi was after My house by any illegal trick he could pull on Me, at one point Ghazi wanted to put a *** on Me to stop Me from publishing criticism about Him or His business. You see guys at what extent some people hate freedom of speech to make the public aware of *** and *** So I decided to publish My first review in my life with my personal opinion motivated by the sadly infamous Haider Ghazi. If you guys after reading this review You insist in jeopardizing Your home with bad job and a manager with unmeasurable greed is Your privilege, I am only telling a true account of events, that happened to Me and it was like a nightmare coming from the sewer, total *** So this is what I did, I took Ghazi off my back, and I spoke with My lawyer and he sees a good probability to get even, but this time in a Criminal Court. Ghazi, You only go around sneaking on people to screw with Our homes, and that is what a MAN don't take easy. You can NOT put a lien in somebody's home without a court order first, so Ghazi lied, using intimidation to collect a debt already lost after the credit card company investigated that HMC was liable, Haider Ghazi committed the crime of making false statements, and intimidation tactics based on falsity to get My money without complying with the guarantee. Ghazi tried to make Me responsible for the bad reviews He has, at one point He said that I asked another people to post reviews about His business, I don't know what kind of *** He smokes, probably *** for sure. Ghazi was going all over digressing from the real problem. I am sorry Ghazi, I am not Your Daddy and I can't stop other customers pissed about you of saying what they think of Your polluted way of dealing. But if You want to be adopted, take Your place in line. Is horrible to deal with a psychopath that has done bad things to many people and He doesn't know anymore who is reviewing about him. For Your information, anyone has the right to post an honest review about any business, this is with the intention to protect customers, You can't stop somebody to post a truthful criticism, is Our legitimate right! Ghazi, You don't respect your customers who are the daily bread of your Family, and Your workers, with Your twisted attitude You yourself are harming your way of life and those who depend on You, You are a total idiot. We can see this in all the criticism that you get. in this Country Canadians are respectful of each other, but You show hate to those who approach to get services from HMC and what We got from You is a bully and disrespectful manager/owner that uses abusive language with those who feed you giving you work, you are a bad dog! In less than a year, you have destroyed the trust Canadians had for Handyman Connection. Do you hate people? Did you guys know that for a class action You only need two and a representative? now you know.

Not happy!
He Kelly never finished the job. The flashing on the back of the house? I kept calling and calling no response. I thought they were a good reputable company sadly I was wrong. Paid him in full said he would be back when the rain stopped? Never did no such thing. . Not happy!

Rip Off!
I was a contractor with Handyman Connection of Boise for 3 weeks. I never received full payment on the work I completed and was always promised more if I did more. I witnessed the owner Michael Cook verbally abuse other contractors and never paid what was promised. I am still owed $700.00 from them. When I refused to keep working until I was paid what I was owed, the owner Michael Cook threatened to come to my house and "kick my *** and file suit against me after verbally abusing me on the phone. The office has refused to give me a copy of my contract despite my many request stating I could view it in the office. I have recording of the conversations with the owner proving what type of liar he really is. I also witnessed the owner lie about a job spec directly to a client then ask the contractor to lie as well stating "I will split the money with you". This company is not what it says it is.

I was overcharged for the amount of work that was done
I had 3 jobs to do - 2 of which were very minor and took him a total of 10 minutes to do. The final job was cleaning my gutters. My gutters are on one level. He had to go home and get a ladder - talk about not being prepared! Anyway, the entire 3 jobs (including the 20 minutes he took to go get his ladder) took no more than one hour to complete. I was charged a total $248.06 which was broken down to labour of $225, WCB 5% of 11.25 and GST of 5% of 11.81. Why am I paying for WCB??? Anyway, the whole thing should not have come to more than $150 tops. The job was done satisfactorily but that's kind of a given. I was still overcharged for the amount of work done and the time it took to get it done.

No show, and most irritating, nobody bothered to let me know
Had an emailed-confirmed appointment with their man Jim @2pm on Jun 19. The man did not show up and nobody called me to let me know (which one would expect from a company offering professional services), so I called them @2:30 and Grace told me the previous job was running late and Jim should visit by 3:30 or so. But 3:30 came, then 4pm and no Jim, and again nobody even bothered to call to let me know, so I called them again @4:45pm. This time I spoke to someone else who promised to find out what happened and call me back, but we are a day later and yet no call or apology whatsoever. What a disappointing standard of service. I took time off work to wait for them and they wasted my entire afternoon

Don’t choose this company
Absolutely *** contractors go for estimate most of them don’t go through out of mine 10 nothing went through it’s *** and costumers are better to contact people from reference or newspapers sometimes. Remember they double the price

Elders Beware in Colorado Springs, CO
My elder mother and step-father, 70 and 78 respectively, contacted Handyman Connection to have a new safety railing installed at their back door to allow them to safely access their backyard. The job was discussed, a timeline was agreed upon, a contract was drawn and, monies exchanged hands. The job was to include ALL PARTS and labor. Only after calling the company multiple times and threatening a Better Business Complaint did the craftsman arrive on a Saturday. The work was not completed to my step-fathers satisfaction, parts were missing, specifically caps for the railing. When he reached out to Handyman Connection of Colorado Springs, he was met with "what do you expect us to do about missing parts?" The contract was for all PARTS and LABOR, he expected the job to be completed in its entirety. It should not be up to the customer to track down missing parts for an order placed by the contractor. Thus far, Handyman Connection of Colorado Springs has failed to complete the job. Communication with Handyman Connection of Colorado Springs and Handyman Connection Corporate has not yielded satisfaction. Please beware when contracting with Handyman Connection of Colorado Springs.

Quote was way too high for jod
Had a handyman named Josh come out. I only needed A small portion of my subfloor replaced around toilet. My grand total for this job was $720.14 wow!!! Way to high Being that my toilet and sink and vinyl flooring that was previously down was already all taken up due to a tile install appointment with a different company that unfortunately was not licensed to fix my sub floor. I called to inquire why this quote was so High the lady I spoke with agreed it was extremely high and was going to contact Josh to See way so high and give me a call back. I have not heard back from her yet and since then I have had two contractors come out and have not been quoted no more than 140 for the job! Still waiting for the lady I spoke with regarding the high quote to call me back although I do not plan to go with this company. I still would like to know why they Handyman Chose to price gouge me! Was it because I was a woman and he thought I didn’t know any better?

Not Explained
Team in Charleston SC did the work as expected and very polite. At the end they charged me an additional $200 without telling me ahead of time. A cancilation fee, never explained and then $100 more for added time at my home. I don't have a problem with the extra time or cancelation if only someone told me in advance. I liked the contractors but office needs to do a better job in calling the customer to tell them extra fees involved. When I called the office to complain, I was told it was a mistake and someone should have talked to me in advance about the additional charges. It would make things so much easier for both parties if the communication is clear and the customer understands what to expect. I looked at the paperwork and don't see anything mentioning a cancelation fee but only termination of the contract above a $500 amount whithin three business days. Because of this...I probably won't recommend or use them in the future. It is unfortunite as I really liked the contractors themselves and wish they would do a better job of explaining what could happen if needed work is involved or something happens to where you need to reschedule because of a conflicting schedule.

Con artists.
They took advantage of my mom & dad, both in their 60's, my dad had renal failure. He passed away unexpectedly after they went through both my mom's & dad's retirement money & disability money totalling almost $49,000. They illegally installed the gas line by putting a flex line through a wooden floor & cutting a joist in half & plumbing for the dishwasher & garbage disposal were also installed improperly & won't drain leading to back up. They installed a shower that they didn't caulk properly & leaks, they covered over the window in the bathroom. They were supposed to install flooring & never did. There are many other things they have not done properly, there isn't enough space to say.
