With that being said, I am not comfortable attempting a household repair or project if I don't know what I'm doing. I don't like the idea of experimenting on my house and I know (from experience) that not doing things right the first time can end up very expensive in the long run. Also, I like to be able to hold people accountable if the job isn't done correctly, and that is very hard to do when a \"friend\" offers to do the job and then happens to screw it up.\n\nI have used Handyman Connection a few times and have had great experiences each and every time. The very first time was to install a dog door for Bailey from the house to the back yard. Best $250 I ever spent (that includes the price of the door itself). I've also had some dry wall repair done and that went well too!\n\nUsually, the first call to make the appointment, I have spoken with a very nice woman that is pleasant and easy to talk to. Then the person scheduled to do the work will call to confirm and work out a more specific time. They show up, give you a free estimate, and then offer to complete the work right then and there. I really like that if I don't want to do the work (which has yet to happen) I'm not out any money, however, if I do want to pay for the service, I don't have to call and reschedule.\n\nEveryone from this company has been very nice and professional. I usually get a follow up call from the office to make sure the work was completed to my satisfaction and I've even received a survey or two. Also, there are always coupons in various mailers and even on their website. Just mention the online coupon and they will usually honor it.\n\nI tell everyone I know to call Handyman Connection for all of their household projects or repairs that might be just out of the DIY range."^^ .
