Toolin' Around Handyman Services

Toolin Around did an amazing job installing multiple TV menu boards for us at our business. Over a 2 afternoons, the team ran electrical and installed the screens. There wasn't a proper backing on the drywall/structure of the area where the TV mounts were to be installed. However, Cory, Jerry, and another gentleman whose name is escaping me were able to figure how to accomplish this not so easy task. Cory also sent me the exact wall mounts to order in advance! The menu boards are perfectly aligned, sturdy and safe. Great turnaround time as well. Nothing but good things to say about this company. Thank you for fantastic fast service, great communication throughout the process, craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the friendly team!

I used the Yelp bidding process and found Toolin Around to be very prompt, courteous, and professional in all their communication leading up to my job! Jerry was my handyman for some furniture assembly and toilet hardware installation, and he was both capable and affable across the 5 hours it took to complete the work. He double-checked everything to ensure I was happy with the work and even redid a couple of things to get it exactly the way I wanted it. I'm glad to have found this great local business through the Yelp process!

Outdoor work in overwhelming heat.
Facia board either repaired or replaced.
It was less expensive
so I chose repairing the
3 ft board with a metal
Cover protecting the roof beneath it....It became a a finish that I was happy to pay for.
Quality work should be
compensated therefore I gave the handyman a nice tip.
Simultaneously, the also
Repaired slats that were
Broken, rotted, and I chose 15 new slats. They were able to salvage all the rest, they
Painted the slats, rehung them and you
Could not tell the difference.
It is a small business starting out as a M O M AND POP.
I call them as needed.
This job was not cheap
But if you want something done right you must pay the priceI continue calling them
cause this company stands by their word..

I accidentally gave this company a bad review thinking I was on another company by the same name tooling around in Monroeville PA warning do not have anything to do with the one from Monroeville PA. I am sorry to the owners of this company you really seem like you're on the ball. I apologize once again.

It took me almost a year to write this review, because it honestly GRIEVES me to have to write a negative review for a locally owned company- I really wanted to like this company. I'll start with minor issues:
I hired Toolin Around to do a pantry rebuild in my home. The initial estimate went well, I provided photos for inspiration as to what I was looking for. I sent two photos that were similar (but had large differences), and was told we were ""ready to start demo."" There was no blueprint for what the pantry was going to look like, so I was a bit concerned, and I had my husband (who works in construction) draw up a blueprint with exactly what I wanted including measurements of the shelves and spacing, etc. I personally feel this is something the contractor should be responsible for.
On construction day, demo began and I had to ask the crew working to put up a tarp (in my kitchen) so that dust and debris didn't go all over my kitchen. They used a thin painting tarp that tore easily, so I still ended up with dust EVERYWHERE. The next problem we had was on the final day of building the pantry- the bottom shelf was done incorrectly, as the workers didn't follow the blueprint measurements my husband had drawn out for them. So they had to return to fix the problem.
The very last mistake was the pantry door installation. The worker installing the doors took an entire day to install accordion doors, as if it was the first time he had ever attempted it. First, the worker drilled holes for the handles that were too short- a simple mistake that ended up leaving permanent holes in the doors! Then, he drilled new holes and installed the door handles on the wrong spot, making the doors nearly impossible to open. This could have been prevented if he had read the instruction manual. So, he had to return another day to drill yet a THIRD SET of new holes to install the handles in the correct place! The worked attempted to fill in the 2 sets of mis-drilled holes, and did a very poor job. Corey had to come to fix filling in the holes. He was supposed to return again to finish the job, but never did.
Lastly the BIGGEST problem by far- the workers REMOVED my laminate flooring-4 layers worth- down to the subfloors, without even asking me! My house was built in 1954 and the flooring/ mastic used was MORE than likely ASBESTOS. I presented this issue to the contractor (Corey) who said ""well...it's done now!"" Unacceptable. Given the fact that it's illegal to remove asbestos without a C22 license- this is VERY concerning. When I emailed Corey about my concerns, he stated, ""It is not illegal to remove asbestos flooring if it was under 100 sq feet."" This is ONLY true with HOMEOWNER CONSENT, and safety precautions- neither of which were done. It's LEGALLY REQUIRED to take safety precautions when removing asbestos- EVEN if it is under 100sq ft, which includes a proper enclosure of the job site, respirator masks for workers, and LEGALLY disposing of the materials-NONE of which was done! If, as a contractor, you don't know these laws- you shouldn't be operating a construction business at all!
This is ABSOLUTELY NOT OKAY. I was in communication with the contractor, Corey, via email over this issue and eventually he stopped responding when I had asked him to hire someone to come out and test for asbestos for my peace of mind. I am an immunocompromised person with children living in the home, and no testing was done prior to the work, to ensure any of this work would be SAFE. As a homeowner, I didn't know that the standard procedure for contractors doing demo work in an older home (1950's) is to recommend TESTING for the homeowners of lead/asbestos. The contractor should have informed me of the risk and ask if I wanted to proceed, or get testing done, which he did not. Clearly safety was of no concern to him. Now I'm looking at around $3,000 for asbestos air sampling!

--I would absolutely CAUTION anyone against using this company to perform ANY DEMOLITION work on your home. They claim to be qualified to do the job, but the fact that they may have exposed my family to ASBESTOS without my KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT is HUGE, and the fact that they were less than concerned about it is what concerns me. Ethically, zero stars. This company is NOT legally able to do any asbestos removal work, and they do NOT take any safety precautions when doing their job. The amount of STRESS this entire ordeal has placed on me and my family is SO not worth any minor remodel I would have wanted. If they have done this to me, I have to wonder how many times this has been done to others without their knowledge, and I wonder how much asbestos-containing material has been illegally dumped.

Toolin Around- I hope you take this review seriously, because the lack of safety going on is not just dangerous to the health of unsuspecting clients, but it is also illegal. This company should stick to handyman work and not serious construction/ demolition.

I was looking for someone to repair my scratched vinyl floors. I communicated with Nicole back and forth. Finally someone showed up to evaluate the work, but I never received the actual estimate. I contacted Nicole several times, but I just kept hearing excuses. I finally stopped reaching out and contacted a different company.

I had a few ceiling fans installed, multiple tv mounts and tvs installed, and also curtain rods with curtains throughout the house. The work was done so well. The handyman we had was very professional and friendly. We plan to use them again in the future. Very happy with the work!

I needed shelving in my walk-in closet rebuilt and upon completion I can highly recommend Toolin' Around Handyman. From showing up on time to completing the job in a professional, timely manner, not only do I recommend them, I'll be using them for future projects as well. Special shout to Juan the service tech for his courteous demeanor and excellent craftsmanship in completing the task! Thanks you Toolin' Around!

We had to reschedule at the last minute as our Murphy bed had not arrived. They were extremely accommodating. Juan was efficient, personable and did an excellent job. We felt their pricing was reasonable. Wed hire them again in a heartbeat!
