Seattle Handyman Service

I called Eric about a month ago about a roof project. He said he would call the next day to schedule a time to come out. Never received a response.

Called this person to get a quote and this man was rude in answering the phone. I knew the moment he answered the phone that customer service is not important to him. Please try having better manners to begin with.

We hired Eric at Seattle Handyman Service to handle a number of projects before moving into our home and he was punctual, respectful, honest, hard-​working, and efficient. He started working from the moment he stepped foot in our home until his day’s work was completed. We appreciated that Eric remembered everything we discussed from the day he came out to provide the bid. It seemed like he worked absolutely every minute within the hour (s) he billed us for, unlike other home service-​related companies and their personnel, who often step out to answer their phones, text, take multiple breaks, long lunches, etc. While Eric truly cares about finishing the job as scoped, on time and within budget, we appreciated his flexibility and problem solving along the way. In some cases we discovered that what we originally wanted/​requested was actually not the best way to proceed after all. Eric is very accessible and responsive via all means of communication — e-​mail, phone and text. We highly recommend Eric and plan to use him for our future home improvement needs.

Eric the handyman is awesome! Punctual, honest and does excellent work– will most definitely hire him again. As for the details…
We just moved from NYC into a new town home in Seattle. We had a couple of projects we needed help with, including mounting a flat screen TV in an entertainment center and hanging some heavy art work on walls. So I googled «Seattle handyman» and found Eric and his Seattle Handyman Service and gave him a call. He returned my call within 10 minutes. I was surprised at how reasonable his rates were and hired him for the job
I rate Eric and his Seattle Handyman Service an A+ for the following reasons:
1. He returned my call promptly
2. He showed up for work on time
3. He was very respectful on my home
4. He does honest work for fair pay
5. He does a complete job with attention to detail
6. He got the job done right
7. He followed up with a couple of days later to make sure we were satisfied with his work
What else is there to say? If you need a handyman and want the job done right at a fair price call Eric at Seattle Handyman Service!

We just moved into our Seattle apartment and needed someone to help us secure furniture. We got a few quotes from different people in the area, and Eric’s rate was quite reasonable and so we went with him. Eric even went and purchased supplies for us beforehand (and did not charge for time). Eric secured several bookshelves in our apartment in addition to hanging a few large mirrors. The bookshelves themselves were a bit warped, and Eric found ways to fix them and make them fit against the wall. They now look perfect! Eric also did not mind us tacking up a few other odd handy jobs to fill in the hour.

I sent an e-​mail requesting a call back regarding some window installations. Going on two weeks, no response at all, not even a «sorry, we don’t do that». I don’t mind a no, but an ignore is unacceptable. I had at least five other jobs (a shower remodel, a patio build, an attic fan installation, a shed build, and a small concrete repair) I was ready to give to these guys.

If you’ve got a big project that will take several days, Eric can give you a very competitive bid and do a really nice job. I am quite please with the project he did for me that took about two weeks to complete.
However, the saying «no job is too small» does not apply here. If you’ve got something that could probably be completed in a day or less, forget it. When I tried to get him back for some smaller tasks, I kept being pushed off for months before he apparently forgot about me. As a one man business, Eric would apparently much rather take on the larger projects than mess around with your lower paying jobs. My suggestion to Eric would be to just say you don’t want to do something, rather than leading your customers on, with no apparent intent to ever do the work.
Yes, he does a great job one he’s actually doing the work, but I’m unlikely to call him again just for the way he blew me off. There are plenty of other handymen around to choose from.

WOW. Eric was amazing. Super-​communicative (via email on a holiday weekend no less!) and on-​time. He gave us a fair quote for the work, that was exactly accurate to the final bill. The work he did was phenomenal — repairing a hole in our drywall back to brand-​new, texture, paint and all. Seriously, you can’t tell work was done. True craftsmanship. He was friendly, professional, and clean, even vacuuming as he was working! Highly recommend. We’ll absolutely use him again should we ever need a handyman in the future!

Eric has done excellent quality work for me. I had him install a new mailbox+post, a couple of new toilets, remodel my bathroom with new granite countertop, etc. I don’t think there is anything Eric can’t do. He also pays great attention to detail and goes the extra mile to ensure the work he does is perfect.
I would definitely hire him again and am currently having him install new french doors for me. Highly recommended!

This review is for their customer service only, not their work. I was looking forward to having SHS do some odd jobs and hauling around our office. From reading these reviews they sounded more than capable.
Unfortunately, communication was severely lacking. I could go on about the annoying issues but I hate to read those epic reviews. So suffice it to say it took nearly a month of going back and forth before we could nail down a time for an appointment. It wasn’t an urgent job at the outset which is why I didn’t mind the initial delay, but it has become one.
They finally emailed saying «Okay, tell us when we should come out», and five minutes later I got an email saying they had «just landed» a job that would have them tied up until April. Huh. Really?
I am happy to say that I spied another handyman company’s van downtown and called them up. Incredibly professional; submitted a contact request online which said it could take up to 48 hours, and got 10 minutes later. Will review them for work when it’s done.

Eric did a super job repairing a shed roof and skylight for us. He was fast, responsive, and wrote a clear bid (something suprisingly rare). The job had a few glitches because of moisture damage. He had warned me ahead of time this might happen, and he had a plan in place for each scenario, which made communication quick and easy.
He communicates effectively via email and phone.
We will definitely use him again.

Highly recommended —
I’ve had a few projects successfully completed by Seattle Handyman Service (Eric) and am super satisfied with the results. He built a closeted wall to enclose my big oil furnace (as seen in his Unilocal pics) and did a great job at an affordable rate!
He shows up on time, has great attention to detail, cleans up any mess and is friendly to work with. As I alluded to earlier, his rates are very competitive and I always feel like I have gotten a great deal on very high quality work.
BTW, you can also count on him for smaller projects too — I plan on using his services for many projects to come, and with a 1956 Ranch-​style home, there is always something to work on!
