Handyman Connection of Winter Park - Winter Park, Florida

Alex from Handyman Connection came out to look at both my bathrooms for complete remodels. Alex was very knowledgeable and gave me two estimates for both my bathrooms. He was very detailed in explaining what he was going to do every step of the way. Alex and his crew were so professional and nice. They worked efficiently and made sure every detail got done. My bathrooms look so amazing and I'm so happy with them. Alex gave me suggestions that were so helpful for my space that I was working with. Most of all, it was nice to have a working crew in your house that you can trust. The whole experience was great. Alex and his team are awesome!

We had lights installed on our dock and they look great. Highly recommend Sean Barriga. He did a great job making sure the lights look perfect!

TLDR: Keep to small jobs if anything, don’t do full remodels.
I was looking to remodel bathroom for labor only, & HC came in as the lowest bidder. I had already bought fixtures & would buy tile. HC gave me a list of what else to buy.
The first worker (Max) was messily doing questionable quality work & taking longer than estimated to do it. It took another worker refusing to put their name on this project for HC to take my concerns about quality and progress seriously.
Got a new person (Alex) who demoed everything to start over. I truly appreciate the effort of this redo (hence 2-star), & it was going much better, if with some cosmetic concerns later on.
Then got hit with a change order- in part for an understandable found issue, but also for herringbone tile style (which I was initially told wouldn't change cost). Then I had to buy more than was on HC's initial list, & had begun to descope them to help offset cost.
I'm left with an over-budget bathroom that is basically functional with rushed cosmetic issues, 3 weeks late and still incomplete, my house a mess, & a list of To-Dos to finish/fix the scope they didn't get to.

Carlos patched 2 holes in my wall and ceiling. He was polite and explained the entire process to me. He did a flawless job! My wall looks brand-new. I highly recommend his work for any of your home repairs.

Carlos Lopez was great! Showed up on time and went straight to work. Accommodated all of the challenges presented by the job and it turned out great. A front door install including new casement from oak wood. Great attention to detail and refused to leave until everything was completed to satisfaction. Would definitely recommend for the next project.

I hired Handyman Connection of Winter Park to install Christmas lights on the outside of my house. We provided the lights and all the needed materials and we met with their representative (Kevin) to review the project in detail. I approved an estimate on 11/21, which included hanging the lights in a specific direction (near an electric plug) cleaning out the gutters where the lights would be hung and blowing off a section of the roof. We were leaving to go out of town, so tried our best to get Handyman folk to come by and pick up the materials off our front porch to prevent theft, which they never did. I called often both before we left and while we were out of town speaking to Brien and Bryson and was almost always told someone would pick up the materials, do the project "tomorrow" and send pictures. They never did. On the day we were returning from our trip, nearly 2 weeks later, I called and spoke to Brien who did not know if the project had been completed or not. I finally told him to get it done that day or forget about it. When I returned on the night of 12/3 - notice that - 11/21 - 12/3) we found that the lights had been installed backward so there was no electric access for the plug - contrary to our instructions, and the roof had not been cleaned off. I declined offers to come back and re-do the job, just wanting to be finished and to have my Christmas lights up and working. We bought 150 ft. of electric cord to get power to the lights and ran it ourselves. Brien offered a minimal discount for the poorly done work, and I paid him off just to get it over with. This was my second difficult project with this company, the first of which I will not go into. I'm really sorry they've taught us we can't depend on them. I'll have to find someone else to help me. I wasn't going to write all this until they sent me a survey this morning asking if I would give them a positive recommendation. This is my response to that.

Sean Barriga from Handyman Connection installed a Ring door bell for us here in orlando. Very talented, kind and helpful person. Show all the features and how to disconnect for charging the unit. Just amazing job done. I have been using the Handyman Connection from 2020 ever since we moved to Orlando. Thank you.

I was so pleased with the fast service I received from Handyman Connection. They were pleasant and out within a couple of hours which helped my dogs not be terrified of the beeping noise from the smoke alarms. Matt was excellent, so knowledgeable, kind, and got the job done in a timely manner. Will definitely recommend this company!
