Mr. Handyman of Oak Park & River Forest

I’ve used Mr. Handyman of Oak Park several times over the last seven years since I moved to the neighborhood and I’m always more than satisfied. They’ve always done great work with anything I’ve thrown at them and I’m always surprised how professional their work is. I’ve gotten Mario the last couple of times and he is amazing. He has replaced my downspout and changed my shower faucets. Is there anything he can’t do?

Had an exercise bike assembled by Mario of Mr. Handyman of Oak Park. He also helped get a Christmas tree out of a crawl space. He worked efficiently and adjusted bike to be on an uneven floor. He was friendly and it felt very comfortable having him in the house. I would highly recommend his work.

I am a new homeowner and pretty clueless overall. A friend recommended using Mr Handyman and today was my second time to use them. Today, Eric came out and fixed a list of 3 – 4 issues within an hour. He was helpful and gave me some wonderful tips of how to fix or maintain things on my own in the future. No complaints here!
Looking forward to using them again for my next homeowner question or issue!

Brian was super helpful! He assisted with a variety of setvices (drapery installation, mounting televisions and hanging mirrors) He was able to do everything I needed in a very short time for a pretty reasonable cost. I would defiantly recommend using Mr Handyman to a friend, specifically Brian! So happy with my new place now :)))))

ANTHONY the handyman sent over to help me out was a wonder! He found a was to rebuild my vintage light fixture which had old cloth wires using the guts of a new lamp from Home Depot. He also got my gas fireplace working again. He was nice — friendly; very smart and full of ingenuity. I would recommend him to any Oak Parker looking to keep their place in good repair — particularly if you are solving to keep true to the vintage look of your place! NICE WORK ANTHONY!

I needed a few things fixed around the house, and nobody should trust me with a hammer, plumbing, or electricity. Given that, I prepared a short list of things to fix: a gate latch, rusty house numbers, a gutter that is one wind gust from separating, and the list went on…
The handyman came over, was very friendly, and not judgmental at all of my neglect for my home. Instead, he was upfront about billing, told me what kind of effort it would require to finish the job, and he set about fixing things. He moved a lot quicker than I expected a person paid by the hour to do!
Along the way, he found a few minor things that needed a nail or some tightening, and like a flash, it was done.
You just wait until Spring when I have my indoor list.

Brian has worked on a variety of projects for me and I have been very satisfied each time — plumbing, fan installation, wiring issues, etc. Every job has been completed well, in good time, and he explains everything clearly. I will definitely call Mr. Handyman again. You get what you pay for — quality service and reliable work.

I needed work complete on my house and not only did Mr. Handyman show up to my house on time, but the work was completed perfectly. I will continue using Mr Handyman services as long as something keeps getting broken in my house, which i’m sure will be all the time!

IF you dare opt for services from this business, please proceed with caution!
Was seeking small electrical job and had 3 quotes provided. Went with the services of Mr Handyman of Oak Park due to local business and was seeking faster service time.
Was quote a flat rate of $ 136 first hour and $ 96 for each additional hour and was given a wide window for what the total cost might be but assumed base on other quotes the total would be in the $ 200-​$ 250 range.
The work was completed and was done satisfactorily BUT then a few days later the invoice arrived for $$$$ 450.00 — WHAT?!
I called to question the amount and the owner Bob H. indicated that is was based on the number of electricians that arrived (2). I was duped!
I received a quote based on the job to be done and was billed based on the number of workers that showed up.
Use a reputable contractor for your services and don’t get RIP-​OFF like me!

Brian, the Mr. Handyman technician that came to my house, was extremely competent, cordial and right on time, I had three different small repairs that he did quickly and professionally. I will be using this service again.

Had Mr. Handyman out to the house this morning to do a couple of small things to test them out. I like their value proposition and their professional attitude when you speak to the owner on the phone. He took the time to explain their business, their process and what I am getting for the money. He sent a very nice, cordial and personably guy to the house and he took the time to explain to me what he was doing and didn’t seem irritated when I was asking questions. Will definitely have them back.
Only reason why not 5-​stars is their price. They are expensive, but if you want peace of mind and a guaranteed service, sometimes paying a little more is worth it.
