Mike did an awesome job replacing my existing kitchen floor. The attention to detail especially around the cabinets and moldings. The cabinets were installed on top of old flooring. I really appreciated his expert workmanship to make it look right. Thank you Mike.

The team was very professional and efficient.
Had to have a drain line from the laundry room rerouted because of back ups that ran down into the kitchen.
Plumbing fixed and all the drywall in the laundry room and kitchen ceiling was repaired.
I will definitely hire them again for repairs around the house.

I have never been so happy with a business. I had my wood fence repaired and painted. Also, I had two outside lights switched out. The men worked so hard at making sure everything was done correctly, they show up on time, communicate any problems or solutions and the pricing is very reasonable. I cannot say enough about this company. Give them a call. You will be glad you did.

Wonderful service. I am a senior citizen. I called the company last evening and spoke with the owner. Very nice gentleman. I explained the electrical issue I had. He told me not to worry and he would have someone at my house the following morning.
As promised, before 9am the next morning I received a call advising that 2 employees would be at my home within 15 minutes.
They arrived, we’re very nice and put on booties before they entered my home. I showed them the issue and they resolved it quickly. When done, they cleaned up the area.
Great experience. I recommend this company to everyone and I will use their service again when needed in the future.
Thank You Columbus Handyman
A real professional business.

We recently had Columbus Handyman install some bookshelves to look built-in and we're very happy with the result! Scheduling was also quick and the workers were prompt and professional. We've hired this company before for other small projects, and don't have any complaints. The one time there was an issue, they came back out the next day to fix it.

Mike and the others were excellent to work with on our basement renovation and bathroom addition. They installed custom built shelving and we love it all so much.

Called to get some small electrical work done (exterior outlets installed, light switch fixed, exterior light installed). After the electrician showed up to evaluate the work he told me all the reasons why the job was so difficult and that a quote would be provided that afternoon. Then they completely ignored us and never provided a quote or did the work. We ended up calling an actual electrician who saw no issues with what needed to be done and completed all the work in 4 hours. Won’t ever call Columbus Handyman again due to their total lack of follow through.

Do not use this company!! They only use subcontractors not employees. People they sent had zero experience installing tub surround. Did not brace it while adhesive dried, used wrong kind of caulk which later just flaked away, did not do smooth spackle job - craters left in walls! I complained but they wanted to send same incompetent people again.

We have used Columbus Handyman in the past for many smaller projects and were always pleased. We recently had our windows and doors replaced. From start to finish they did a great job. They gave us multiple options to choose from in order to meet our budget. They were able to complete the project much faster than other companies we spoke to. Mike, the installer did a fantastic job. We would definitely recommend this company for both small and larger projects.

This review is for Greg from Columbus Handyman, whom I hired to replace a light fixture in my bathroom with a combo light/fan in my circa 1940s house. Working on older homes can be a challenge, and I was a little nervous about the project before starting, but Greg did a great job. I wanted to pick out my own fan/light, so he gave me precise specs to use when selecting one. He showed up on time and went the extra mile (and hours) to make sure that things were done right. He even followed up extremely quickly when I had a question after the installation was finished (something very minor that was just an issue with my bulb selection). I was very pleased with my experience and would feel comfortable hiring him again as it's clear that a lot of attention to detail was given to doing the job right.

Columbus Handyman did the majority of our renovation and it turned out wonderfully. We received all new floors, a custom trap door (quite a challenging request), all new cabinets with pulls, counters, and countless other odds and ends. This was all done for a very reasonable price.

Mike was our dedicated guy who we were fortunate enough to have getting things done. He knows his stuff and does QUALITY work! On top of that, he's a super nice and trustworthy guy (left him with my dog day after day and they became great friends).

We definitely plan to use Columbus Handyman again for our next stage of reno projects. Go with Columbus Handyman and ask for Mike!

We were ultimately happy with the work completed by Columbus handyman, but did have some scheduling issues along the way. They rescheduled the work three times, and most of the time we had advanced notice, but one time was the day of (although the owner himself called to apologise, which I was impressed by and greatly appreciated). Once Jason came out to complete the electrical work (rewiring a bathroom fan and three way switch), he was courteous, professional, and completed the work more quickly than expected. I was very pleased with the final result, and would use Columbus handyman again.

First I had an appointment for Someone from CHM come out and quote installation of an exterior door and screen door. The morning someone was suppose to come out, John called and indicated the person had an emergency. We discussed the work and John gave me a verbal cost. I liked the cost and asked about some interior door installation. He asked me to send pics which I did, price came in higher than I expected. When I asked him to just do the exterior doors, he said he couldn't do the work for the price we discussed. I know it's a tough business, but if you can't live up to what you say, come out and look at the job. One of the most important things I say about contractors is the feeling of trust. Moving on.

We recently had Columbus Handyman replace toilets, install flooring and replace our shower walls as well as putting up new shutters. All of the work was completed timely and the quality of the work was excellent. All of the workers were polite, competent and observed COVID-19 safety protocols. Would definitely recommend them.

Used Columbus Handyman for a fence and steps job, at 1st there was some minor things I needed changed. When I called the owner (John) he personally got involved. He sent over a different guy, (Scott) who was promptly here , he did a fantastic job fixing what I required and was very professional in his work. I would definately use them again and depending on type of work, fence, deck, windows, etc. I would request Scott. He'll do a great job for you.

Happy to SING the praises of Columbus Handyman! We are first-time homeowners and wanted to do a little kitchen re-fresh. New countertops, backsplash, sink/faucet, dishwasher, light fixtures. Columbus Handyman gave us a great quote in comparison to the others we got and after reading reviews I felt good about hiring them -- but obviously being new to this arena had no idea what to fully expect. But my gosh I just need to say how WONDERFUL Mike and Grant were to work with. Grant coordinated the project and responded to my many emails so kindly. And Mike did the actual work and he was *fantastic.* Not only a highly skilled handyman (his tile work is beautiful) -- but also a wonderful human. He was so sweet, considerate and accommodating throughout the week-long job. I am so grateful for him! One morning he literally scrapped the ice and snow off my windshield when he saw me sitting in my car warming it up (don't know where my scraper went...) Talk about above and beyond. (Our dog even *loved* him haha!!) Thank you Mike, Grant and the Columbus Handyman crew - we are in love with our new kitchen! I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

I'm a contractor with 20 years experience in all aspects of home construction. I called Columbus handyman to ask if they could install 2 pieces of crown molding (just make 4 cuts total). For someone who knows what they're doing and does it regularly this is a 30 min job tops from start to finish. I explained the job to them and they said it would be about a 2 hour job. So while I can't give a review of their work, this is just to make people aware that it might be best to get multiple quotes from reputable contractors before getting ripped off by these guys. I hate to have to do this, but I hate more than anything to see people being treated unfairly just because they don't know any better.

We have used Columbus Handyman for NUMEROUS projects including plumbing, fixing furniture, installing fans, installing new doors, painting, new windows, fence repair.

We just completed 17 new windows and a new back door. We saved thousands from what other windows places wanted to charge and the windows are the same! I researched this for months. Plus, Mike and Bob were on time, worked quickly and did a fabulous job right down to the last details and clean up.

Can’t recommend this company enough.

Had multiple plumbing repairs needed. Called a plumbing company to schedule an appt.They gave me a 6 hour window on when to expect the tech. Didn't want to waste a day so on a whim called Columbus Handyman. I had used them on electrical and carpentry jobs in past and they had done a great job. Didn't know they did plumbing. They gave me a time when the plumber was to arrive and he showed 10 minutes early. Once he got here I explained the problems and found that he could do much more than I anticipated so we rescheduled him to come back the next day with the parts and time to complete all the plumbing repairs .
He showed up again early and did not waste anytime in completing the projects. He even came in under quoted price. This plumber has experience, works fast, knows what he is doing and is friendly. Highly recommend him and Columbus Handyman.

We have relied on Columbus Handyman for a variety of home projects, including installing handrails, mounting cabinets, and repairing drywall ceiling. We have had nothing but positive experiences. Everyone we have interacted with has been professional and courteous, and the work has been consistently outstanding. Columbus Handyman will definitely be our go-to for future projects.

I live in a college apartment and wanted my tv mounted, I thought this meant into the studs of the wall. The handyman came punched two huge holes in the wall that I will have to pay for when I leave. He was working so fast I had to tell him the mount was upside down the first time. I called Sean, the owner, who was so inconsiderate and quite frankly rude. Someone one on the other side of the line told me to leave the mount on the wall when I move out. This interaction was extremely unprofessional. They also tried to charge me $225 for the 15 minutes they were here. I wouldn’t think of using them ever again.

I am a school principal and I needed a bathroom stall fixed. I didn't know who to turn to! The crew that was assigned to us came in, gave a quick quote. They were back within the week. They worked efficiently and did quality work. They stayed within the quote. I would reach out again.

Another contractor that wasted my time. I had a lot of things I wanted to contract out to a handyman and these guys were the first to come out and take a look. I told them the scope of the project over the phone to make sure they could handle a larger project. They sent out an estimator and never gave me a quote back even after calling them several times over the course of a week. I'm not sure why contractors can't be upfront and say they're not interested in a larger project when they can take a bunch of smaller easier ones. I'd be fine with that, I'm not fine with people wasting my time and not being up-front.

Columbus Handyman provided our family with quality work and was available within a 24 hour period. As a family with young children, he was able to come in and complete our plumbing problem quickly, efficiently and at a low cost. I will definitely use Columbus Handyman in the future and would recommend them to family and friends. They are an honest company that does high quality work.

Fast, friendly and capable service. We thought we would be repairing a ceiling fan but that proved impossible and the handyman and I managed to improvise to turn the job into replacing the fan as I ran out to purchase a new one while he took out the old one so he was ready to install the new one as soon as I got back with it. This way we got the problem solved and still kept to both of our scheduled. I'm putting this service into my go-to-list.

I used CHM in May 2017 to install 2 cabinets on the wall in my office which required building out a 4 frame from the wall. Should have been a fairly simple job for a company that does these kind of things for a living.

Paid $600 and had a $200 off coupon for 6hr of work, so paid $400 for being a 1st time customer. Fairly expensive in my opinion, most handymen I've used in the past are about $50-60hr, but I thought based on the reviews it would be worth it.

Anyway, I was there to assist to make the job go more smooth (make cuts etc). Cabinets were already put together so they just needed mounting and trim put on. After about 4hrs, only 1 cabinet was hung and while he was at lunch I managed to build the box by myself for the 2nd one. And when 6hrs was up, cabinets weren't finished and he was ready to go, but not before attempting to cut my crown molding which he botched.

Because I was unhappy that the project didn't get completed I contacted the company to get some money back, I asked for $175 and to replace the crown molding because that's about what I felt the amount of work he actually did. They did refund me $175 and attempted to replace the crown molding but failed to find a replacement even though I told them where I got it. So I said I would order it and for them to refund me for my purchase. It was $134.80 for the crown molding. After many attempts to collect they stopped taking my call. So in the end I ended up paying $360 for 3/5 of a job completed when 6hr should have easily been enough to complete the whole job to someone skilled in carpentry/handyman work. I would not use them again based on this experience.

Bill W. was assigned to my job of installing two pantries and a kitchen island. He was very friendly and respectful and did an amazing job in a timely manner (under 3 hours). This man could build an entire house from the ground up -- very knowledgeable on just about everything and gave all sorts of advice on other current and future projects I'm planning. I'd 100% recommend asking for him since they have a few handymen available!

I woke up to no hot water yesterday morning and called Columbus handyman. Sent pictures of the gas hot water tank and the plumber was here within a few hours, he bought the new tank at Beechwold Hardware , replaced the tank, and took the old one out. He did this all very quickly and I had hot water within 45 minutes after he left. Excellent work.

I had someone come out on 4/7 to give an estimate and was told it would be emailed to me. I called to follow up on 4/15 (left message because no one ever actually answers the phone there apparently). No one called back. Called again today and 4 hours later still no callback. I'm not sure I even want to give them my business if they do finally follow through on an estimate. Poor customer service.

The (Handyman) showed up and took a hour to put together a ceiling fan. During this time he had to go to ace to get wire and clips. (I guess handymen don't bring items needed to the job). So after he gets back he put together the rest of the fan and leaves. Before he does he tells me I need another part so its still wasn't hanging. Then he charges me for the items he bought and takes these with him.

I call the company and am told he was getting fired for poor work. (Why did you send him out then)

I was going to give 3 stars, but after reading my review. I'm giving 1 star. You might want to do stand up, your company is a joke.

Scam!!!!! Called for plumbing work. Agreed to the plumbing work. They took money from me deposit. Never showed up to do work. Called to get money back.Did not want to give money back after not doing absolutely nothing. Had to call cc company to get money back. And the receptionist Sonya act like she didnt know what to do. I have told all my landlord and real estate colleagues to not do business with this shady company.

Had an appointment scheduled between 9-11. No call no show. I call at 11:30 and leave a message. Finally get a call back 2 hours later at 1:30 saying they can't come today and need to reschedule. The receptionist was apologetic. I understand projects can run over or behind but it's ridiculous to not call me till 2 hours after I called, and 2.5 hours after the scheduled time I had. I lost over half my day and they could have called much earlier.

Unfortunately, after I scheduled a work from home day so that I could meet the technician for an estimate, which was nearly 3 weeks after the appointment was scheduled, i received a phone call from the company 15 min after the appointment was to commence that the tech would not be coming because I’m outside if the range. Very very poor service. They couldn’t figure that out in advance?
