Bixno Handy

Julian S.

These gentlemen were professional, focused, and obviously very competent in carpentry and electrical work. Bixno Handy will be our go to company for home projects. We highly recommend.

Nolan is an incredible handy man! He's reasonably priced, conscientious, and very prompt in his communication! I'd highly recommend him!

Bixno Handy did an awesome job mounting my tv on tile wall! They had great attention to detail and the price was reasonable. I would use them again for other installation work.

The short version: They're not licensed electricians, which doesn't necessarily matter if you know what you're doing. These guys don't know what they're doing. They did my job wrong, wouldn't make it right, and the owner was borderline abusive when I complained. This might be culturally appropriate in Texas, but it really doesn't fly here. Avoid. The long version: I engaged Bixno Handy to perform the following tasks: - Install two ceiling light fixtures - Install three smoke detectors - Install a receptacle on the same circuit as a kitchen fixture - Diagnose a heater that wasn't getting power - Remove base molding from around crawlspace and install a handle. They followed up politely and professionally, and promptly dispatched two technicians. The appointment was rescheduled several times during the day because their other job ran long, but I was flexible. The guys did just fine installing the light fixtures and the smoke detectors. Installing a fixture on the ceiling wasn't workable because there wasn't the right equipment, and this was a reasonable call. I was disappointed, but since there wasn't a way to do it without cutting a hole in the ceiling, I was fine with them not taking on this project. The work with the base molding was so-so; they removed it, installed a handle, but didn't get the proportions right and didn't reinstall it with screws like I'd asked. It was a last-minute addition to the project (since we had extra time on the clock, and they bill by the full hour) so I don't fault them for my failure to appropriately scope the project. The primary issue was with diagnosing my heater, the billing, and how the owner responded. As it turns out, there is a switch on the bottom of the thermostat. It was turned off and this is the only thing that was ever wrong. These guys didn't find that problem, but spent an hour chasing a """"fault"""" that wasn't really a fault--the electric line was 240v and they assumed it was 120v, which behaves differently. I ended up having to hire a licensed electrician for about $220 to undo everything they did. He wrote up in detail everything that Bixno Handy did incorrectly, and advised me not to have them do electrical work because they were not licensed and didn't have proper training. When I contacted Nolan Bixler, the owner, to see if he was willing to adjust the bill, he instead called me up to chew me out. He claims I was abusive to his guys (I was polite and professional, but did expect them to work the full two hours I was paying for), and made it clear that not only was he unwilling to adjust the bill, he'd put me on his blacklist. """"I'm going to have trucks all over this town,"""" he said """"and we're never going to work with you."""" Nolan needn't worry. I'm not inclined to work with him again. If you need a TV mounted on the wall, these guys are probably capable. However, if you have any more complicated problems, this company is best avoided. More importantly, expect that the mercurial owner will keep your money, won't fix anything, and will blacklist you for complaining.

Jarom, Tim and Nolan showed up on time, did a great job, were knowledgeable and creative, finished early and charged me fairly. I'm really not sure what more you could ask from a handyman. They took down a satellite dish, cut and sealed off the wires, changed some exterior lights and sealed all the holes in our house that were open to birds high up. I've had really bad experiences with contractors and while remodeling our home and this was honestly one of the easiest. We have had people not show up, people not finish the project and everything else you could think of and the interaction with these guys was smooth and easy. We already asked them to come back and pressure wash and stain our deck and fence.

I reached out to Bixno Handy in a last minute panic because the handyman I had originally booked turned out to be a no show. Within an hour they arrived and mounted my XL tv and a number of large pictures. They were fast and extremely professional, everything was measured and leveled. I'm so grateful they came and saved the day, I'll definitely be using them again and recommending them to friends in the future.

Nolan came out on a Sunday to fix my garbage disposal. It was a little more complicated than expected given the age of my condo building but he figured everything out. He was great and even eager to explain everything to me. Most importantly, I felt like I could trust him and his expertise. His pricing felt absolutely reasonable. He even gave me a discount for time spent talking, which really shows how honest he is. He's also super nice. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I have finally found my go to handyman.

I found this business because my neighbor had Nolan out to give an estimate to repair the fence. I had Nolan's card and contacted him on a Saturday when my husband desperately needed a Depict Frame hung on the wall for a product review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkEUpp7Gp9M Nolan offered to come out on a Sunday for an additional cost and minimum 2 hours. I asked if he would be willing to do other work for the 2 hours and he said he would be. We agreed to the price and he gave an estimated time to arrive the following day (Sunday). Nolan communicated clearly via text on his expected arrival. He seemed to be training a new person which made some of the process seem to take a little more time but when we got to the end he actually charged us slightly less than he said he would for the Sunday visit. We both found Nolan to be professional. We had 2 new TVs mounted. He explained why the mounts we purchased were not the best and since our were returnable we purchased what he sold and felt his price was fair. He also hung the Depict frame my husband needed to review. One of the TVs he installed had an issue and he offered to take it down but my husband said he would look at it and get it working. Once we got the TV on we could see there was some damage done on the installation but we were headed out for vacation. Nolan sent a follow up text to see how everything was and I told him about the situation but that we were traveling internationally so there was a bit of a delay before we were able to communicate. My husband worked with Nolan on the issue and told me that everything was taken care of, we were both satisfied with the resolution and to leave him a 5 star review. No problem!

Hired Nolan to mount a TV in a tile wall and scheduled out about 10 days. When I called again a couple days later (on a Saturday) to add another element to the job he told me he was in the neighborhood and could take care of it that day if I wanted. Heck yes!! Knowledgeable, capable, well equipped and and a hell of a nice guy. Got both my jobs done by himself in 3 hours flat. Would hire again.

I had them install five cabinets (20 by 93 inches tall) and one small bathroom cabinet, and charged me for 10 hrs, total came to over $1100, more than double the IKEA installer's charge. Also, they messed up the set up, one is upside down, the nailing part was installed at the bottom instead on the top, etc. I would never call them again. Next time make sure to hire installer by a set up price, not by hours.
