Two Good Men Handyman Service

I had several jobs around the house, and he completed all of them exactly as I needed. I would definitely use again.

Finding a handyman that will even call you back is such a hassle. I called Richard at Two Good Men and left a message. He got back to me in 24 hours, and the next morning was at my house. I had a punch list of 4 – 5 items ranging from installing a new garbage disposal to patching drywall. He took care of each of them. He is a humble guy but very good at what he does and very thorough. It helped that he liked dogs, since mine was there to keep him company. It was such a pleasant experience with Richard that it almost seemed surreal. He is a straight shooter and doesn’t try to «sell» you … just tells you what needs to be done to fix something and what your options are. I could go on, but I will just stop with saying that it is hard to imagine having a better experience than I had with Richard and Two Good Men.

I’m disappointed. With so many people calling themselves «handymen» and no real way for customers to possibly know which ones are good and which to avoid, Unilocal is especially valuable in weeding out some of the losers based solely one performance (or lack of it).
While researching them, the first ones I scratched off my list were ones that were reported to not keep promises or not follow-​through on requests. I believe any person or company who doesn’t take care of someone before they are a customer will NEVER take care of them after they are a customer. The next to go were handymen that either lied, misrepresented, changed the terms, overcharged, broke things without compensation or anything like that. A handyman is someone I invite into my private home to do something I can’t or don’t want to do myself. My #1 expectation is that they will do the job at least as good as I would do it if I could.
All that being said, I felt good about Two Good Men Handyman Service based on Unilocal reviews (which as everyone knows could all be faked by the vendor). They checked out with BBB and other places I looked online. There was a benefit to having two healthy younger men so they would be less limited in tasks they could handle. And the «support the military» pitch is always like someone saying they like puppies and little kittens.
So why am I disappointed? Because I took the time and effort to send a long detailed email to them so I wouldn’t waste their time or mine. I received a VERY brief reply, not immediately, but in a reasonable time. The email suggested setting up a time to meet. I replied immediately with my phone number. Days went by and I received no reply or phone call. I understand if two guys running a small home-​based business are swamped with work, but no reputable individual or company ignores the prospect of new business. There are 24 hours in a day and it would take literally 5 seconds to reply to my email with the words «Thanks, I’ll give you a call» or to call me and let me know they are working on a huge project this week and will call me on (set a date). But no, now after 2 weeks, nothing and I have to rate them as not dependable.
We’ve all been there with trying to deal with people who clearly should not be in a consumer-​oriented business. The frustration isn’t worth it, and this is the reason some of us take the time to post a review to warn other people. Sorry, but based on their OWN lack of performance I can’t recommend Two Good Men Handyman Service. If they don’t take care of me before I’m a customer I doubt if they ever would or could.

I have been using Two Good Men for nearly 10 years now, for various needs. Richard (and his son) are both truly «two good men,» and extremely knowledgeable and efficient at a myriad of fix-​it jobs. The prices are very fair and the service is exemplary. I have shared his number with many of my friends, and no one I know has ever been less than extremely pleased They have done work on electrical, plumbing, even small carpentry, — on and on. Excellent in every way.

We had to have our patio roof replaced. These guys did excellent work, quick turn around, great price quote and very professional. We are very please with the work completed and will be using them in the future!

I was very pleased with the work Rich did for me! I needed to have a coax cable rerouted in my house and Cox was unable to do it, so a friend referred me to Rich. He came out right away, got the cable I needed and set it up no problem. I really appreciated how much time he spent explaining things to me. I definitely plan to call him again!

Excellent. Reliable. Professional.
