Handymen From Heaven is a Needham handyman service built around ordinary household projects, light remodeling and repairs. Angi and HomeAdvisor describe it as family-owned, with work spanning picture hanging, kitchen and bath improvements, new doors, paint, and window and door replacement or repair. The written customer history is dated rather than recent. In a July 2016 Angi review, one homeowner said Louis was professional, clean, on time and competitively priced; a March 2016 reviewer said he handled multiple items around the house and clearly explained what he could not do. A September 2015 reviewer similarly called him skilled and responsive when he worked. Those positives sit beside a July 2016 complaint that cracks reappeared after a driveway sealcoating job and alleged poor preparation, and a July 2015 complaint about unanswered calls and missed promised visits. The directory profiles report 4.8 stars from 65 ratings, while the five written reviews span 2015 and 2016. Ask who will perform specialty subcontracted work and how the preparation and follow-up will be handled. Angi says the company uses licensed contractors for plumbing and electrical work when needed, while the Massachusetts registry lists HIC license 145708 as expired for Handymen From Heaven. This may fit a homeowner with a list of small repairs or light remodeling tasks who wants one point of contact. Before booking, confirm the contracting entity, current registration status, the person doing each trade, and the schedule for returning to unfinished or warranty work.
The day after the seal coating was performed, two areas with cracks reappeared. It appears that the handyman's friend had no idea what he was doing, failed to pretreat the cracks before laying on the seal coat, and had his son do the mixing. The driveway a year later has areas of checkerboarding where the sealcoat was not properly applied. When I complained to the handyman that day, he promised to have the sealcoating done properly When he failed to return, he promised to repay me the $400. A year later, and after several phone calls and texts requesting my payment, no response and no payment.
Louis was very professional and his work is impeccable. He was on time very clean and his quotation was competitive. Great company and a great job. Clearly the best in our area.
On time, nice guy, was able to check off a bunch of things around the house. What he couldn't do, he was very clear about.
When Louis decides to work, he is professional and financially reasonable. However, the problem is that he often ignores repeated phone call and text messages, and promises to come and doesn't show up. I recently referred to him two separate jobs with a neighbor and a close friend for ice dam repair. After speaking to both customers and promising to followup, he failed to contact them or proceed with the repairs. I was embarrassed by my referral. The most egregious problem was when I asked him to refer me to someone who could seal coat my driveway. He brought in an unemployed friend who, with his thirteen-year-old son (the mixer), put down the seal coating. Because the cracks in the driveway were not properly prepared or the seal coating not properly mixed, the cracks reappeared within 24 hours!! When I contacted Louis the following day, he promised to redo the driveway but never showed up. After several unanswered calls, I texted him to repay me the money spent. He promised to deliver the check within a week but never did so.
Louis works at a rapid pace, but is meticulous and detail-oriented. He is a rare handyman who has proven to be skilled, smart, responsive and reliable. He actually returns phone calls and emails (an uncommon trait among people in his profession), has a delightful personality, and shows up on time for appointments. It was a pleasure to have Louis in our home today.
