Al's Handyman Service

The P.

I guess the reviews speak for themselves. IF he actually shows up, he does good work. But like so many other reviewers, I waited around for HOURS for him and kept getting the runaround (I'm on my way, I'll be there in less than an hour)

I literally waited for him for 9 hours that day. I told him that had he been upfront with me from the beginning I would have hired someone else or at least used my time more wisely. I could have been running errands or hiking or ANYTHING besides literally waiting by the phone for 9 long hours. But he literally kept me hanging the entire time with promises that he was on the way. Unbelievable.

The installation he did was fine. But in the 9 hours i spent waiting for him, i could have had someone else complete every project in my house that needed to be done.

Sorry Al - you really need to be respectful of other people's time. Those of us who work Mon-Fri really hate to see our Saturdays go (sorry for the pun) down the drain.

I just bought my first condo and after having the vanity counter top replaced I needed a plumber to hook up my new sink and faucet. It had been 3 days without a sink and I needed it fixed ASAP. I literally called Al at 10pm on Monday night and he was at my house at 8am sharp the next morning. The job only took him 45 min and he did a great job.

He did not clean up after himself but it was a minor mess and I did not mind vacuuming it up.

As far as professionalism, efficiency and competitive prices Al is your man!! He really knows what he is doing!!

Thanks AL!!!!

SO my girlfriend put a bunch of holes in the wall. And then we broke up. And then I had to move out. So to get my damage deposit back I had to do a level of patching that went a little out of my depth. I called Al. He picked up , said he'd be over in the morning and gave me a quote so reasonable for a 3 bedroom house I didn't even think to get competitive bids.

He was over in the morning, on time, and he and his assistant patched every hole and one or two I didn't see. There was a built in shelf that was tilted and had been since I moved in. He fixed that too without me asking. When I pointed out one or two patches that could be a little better he didn't hem or haw. He smiled, fixed em to my liking and swept up after himself.

Is it hard to get him on the phone? It was. A little. He's a one man band. He told me he tried getting other helpers to start work for him and then for him to show up and make sure it's right but he was never happy with their labor. So he had to re-do it. He just won't put his name in someone else's hands. he should get a receptionist probably but that's the price you pay for being good and doing it all yourself. Me? I'd hire him again in a second. Even if I did have to wait for him to pickup.

I had an incredibly stressful leak and drain clog this Saturday morning at my apartment. I called Al at about lunch - and despite him being at a job when I called - he managed to be at my house by 2 o'clock.

Upon showing up I got the most ridiculously competitive quote I have ever recieved from a plumber. The problem I have in my house is recurring and I have been quoted an upward of 600$ and settled for 350$. Al was so honest and told me it was a job that would take him less than an hour and he would do it for 85$.

He was incredibly sweet, personable, professional, and funny. I will definitely definitely call him again. It has been years where I've been looking for a reliable and affordable plumber/handyman. I'm so thrilled to have found Al.

I called and spoke to him about a month ago to come and solder some alarm contacts for me. He said he would check his schedule and call me back so he can come give me an estimate. I'm still waiting for a call back. I guess he doesn't need the work. On to the the next handyman..

Phenomenal service, professional, high value for money, sincerely nice guys that get any job done I've put in front of them (hanging pics, mirror, drapes, fixing appliances, etc.). They make themselves available last minute and provide great communication. Huge fan and will be use them a great deal going forward!

Al is amazing. He did a bunch of electrical work for us and came in on budget and on schedule. He is just a very honest, hardworking, nice guy. His crew is great too. Could not recommend Al more highly!

Hilary B.

Al and his crew did great work at my house. His work was quick, good and affordable. He stopped some leaks in my house that I've had other people work on for years. I would HIGHLY recommend him.

I Called Al last night at 8pm thinking I would get the machine, not only did he answer, he called me back one hour later to confirm an appointment and quote me over the phone on the job.

Sure enough I got a call from Al 1hr before the appointment, to tell me he would be 10minutes early. I appreciated the call as I had to leave work to go and meet him. He was fast, friendly and allowed my dog to sit right beside him as he worked away at the door frame.

The job took less than an Hour, Looked Amazing, and he saved the wood in my door frame instead of having to buy it new.

When it came time to pay, Al charged me less than the estimate, citing that because he was able to re-use some of the wood it would cost less.

I plan on having a Long, Long relationship with Al....

Definitely ignore all the 1 star reviews on here (at least regarding my experience w/ Al). My experience with Al was top notch. We needed a VERY last minute and immediate fix before moving out of our apartment and Al was there to help us out. He knew exactly what to do and performed all fixes quickly and efficiently. Great communication and even better service. Thanks very much, Al - would not hesitate to use you again and again.
