We hired Handie to install three appliances and a light fixture. He said it would take 3 hours, instead it took 6 hours and he still didn't install the light fixture. He said he would call back and take care of it that weekend but we never heard from him. During the 6 hours we had several problems. It took over 2 hours to install the dishwasher, he had to take it out 3 times, each time because he forgot to do something (like install the power cord) and then he forgot to plug it in, and once left tools underneath. In the process of taking it out he ripped the left side panel off the cabinet and glued it back on, never apoligizing. While he installed the dishwasher water was leaking on the floor and my husband had to clean it up. When he was putting up the dishwasher and microwave he had to read the instructions. We were very accomodating and never complained, and invited him to sit down with us for a snack, which he did. We were going to have him install a water softener system and purified drinking water system in the kitchen. I don't think so. Be aware if he comes and doesn't finish and wants to come back later. If he insists don't pay him the full price. We paid him in full. Harvey & Lavelle
