Efficient, quality work was completed
So far, I have had Neil work at one of our rental properties on 2 different days. Both times he was on time and worked efficiently without taking breaks. He provided quality workmanship on all tasks including but not limited to: painting, plumbing, changing out smoke detectors, carpentry work and gutter repair. He was very friendly, helpful and flexible with working in last minute tasks as time allowed. I appreciate that Ace provided a qualified handyman and understand that they are responsible for the overhead costs, but I agree with other's comments that the hourly rate of $100 is a bit steep - and hope that Neil is making at least 50% of the hourly rate. Trip charge should be equivalent to current federal mileage rates - and paid to the handyman since they are using their own vehicles. Overall, I was happy with the work completed and have and would recommend to others.
Response from Ace Handyman Services Southern Tier
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review and for recommending us to others, that is a true sign of a happy customer. We are thrilled to hear that Neil was friendly, helpful, efficient, flexible, and on time. That is true that our rates are a little higher, but you pay extra for great efficient quality that comes with a 1 year warranty to back up the work we do. Thank you again for the review and referrals.

Great job
I had some siding repair done and he did a great job. I will admit I was surprised with the $50 Tavel here cost. But over all satisfied. I even have them coming for a second thing to fix.
Response from Ace Handyman Services Southern Tier
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate our customer who make the effort to leave us a review. The travel charge is standard to every customer and helps to cover the cost of getting our professional handymen to your home with all the necessary tools. We appreciate you having us out a second time to fix more things.

Professional, friendly, knowledgeable
Neil arrived on time. I showed him what I needed him to do, and he got right to it. Very efficient, friendly service. I would definitely recommend him if you need a handyman. A bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. How often do you need a handyman? Hopefully, not too often, and when you do, it is worth the money to invest a bit more and get the job done right. Thanks, Neil.
Response from Ace Handyman Services Southern Tier
We are so appreciative that you took the time to write this review. Neil is an excellent craftsman who is exactly what you said, efficient and friendly. We are not the cheapest service, but like you mentioned you get what you pay for, and in this case you pay for quality service with a warranty to back that up. Thank you so much for your review.

Gutters re-graded
Due to natural settling of our porch, our gutters needed to be re-graded. Neil was prompt and efficient in his skills of the matter. Would recommend ACE to anyone.
Response from Ace Handyman Services Southern Tier
Thank you for this stellar review. Settling does happen to porches over time, glad to hear that Neil was able to get the gutters re-graded efficiently so that the water flows correctly to prevent bigger headaches down the road. Thank you for any recommendations that you give, we truly appreciate great customers like you!

Quick and professional
I needed an electrical outlet in my bathroom. It was so easy to call Ace, the scheduling was quick and flexible, the price was known up front and reasonable, the professionalism with the email reminders -before, during and after, and the pro named Neil was very friendly and very knowledgeable. It's great to know I can make one phone call and get the work done without wondering about who I choose. I would and will refer this service to anyone. A++
Response from Ace Handyman Services Southern Tier
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review. Thank you so much for this excellent review. Glad that we could get the outlet in your bathroom hooked up for you. So wonderful to hear that your experience was exactly what we strive to provide, easy one call booking with up front pricing.

General quote
OMFG....Ridiculously high priced. Was quoted $450 for 4.5 hours. Since when does a general handyman get $100/ hour?
Response from Ace Handyman Services Southern Tier
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I completely understand that our rates may seem initially daunting, but in reality they are well within the National range for handyman services ($60-$125). You must consider that many of the handymen at the lower end are not covered for injury or damage to your home, so if there is an incident, you as the homeowner may be on the hook for a significant amount of expenses. Our craftsman are fully insured and bonded to protect you from such expenses. We are most definitely not a discount handyman service, but we employ professional tradesmen that get the work done correctly the first time. We also warranty our work for one full year. I hope that you choose a handyman that is insured and bonded for the safety of your home and your peace of mind.

Adaptable to the Job
Our craftsman, Neil, arrived early, was friendly, and was able to adapt his installation approach of our over range microwave oven to meet an unexpected space limitation from the previous installation. I will note that if your job requires the cutting or grinding of tile that you have a shop vac handy for capture of debris and dust in real time as the work is being done. Neither of us thought of it and there was quite a bit of debris throughout the kitchen and a fine layer of dust on most surfaces. Live and learn!
Response from Ace Handyman Services Southern Tier
Thank you so much for your glowing review of Neil's work. We are constantly learning from our experiences and always prefer to leave a job site cleaner that it was when we got there, so we will definitely have a shop vac on hand for future jobs of this nature! :)

They do not stand behind their work
Paid twice for a simple bathroom door repair. These people are not worth dealing with. Full of excuses.
Response from Ace Handyman Services Southern Tier
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of your experience with our service. We understand that you feel the experience was less than you desired. We do stand behind our work and in your particular case you had two different issues with the bathroom door that were unrelated. The first repair we made to your door was to the height as it was rubbing on your newly installed carpet. The second repair was for a different issue related to water damage that caused your door jamb to swell preventing the door from fitting in the jamb space. These two issues are completely separate issues with the door therefore the second repair was not related to the height of the door that we fixed on our first visit. We made you aware of this prior to doing the second job for you and you were pleased with the work that we did on the first job.
