Reliable, Great Quality and Attention to Detail, Finished Ahead of Schedule 3/30/2008

I recently hired Martin and his crew to paint the main room and office in my apartment and for some repair to my backdoor. I am really happy with the experience and the quality of their work. Martin offered great advice on paint and finishes. They arrived on time and worked diligently. They also finished a three-day job in two and left my apartment cleaner than when they started. I am most impressed with the attention to detail. I live in an old building and my trim has seen more than one paint job in its time, but they made it look beautiful, and my apartment looks like a new place. I would and will hire Affordable Handyman again. Pros: Great quality work, attention to detail, reliable and responsive Cons: None that I can offer more

Great customer service AND superior quality work! 3/20/2008

We gave them 20+ projects of varying size to complete in our home. They finished all in a timely manner and did a superb job on each and every one. The total cost was very reasonable and completed within budget. They can really do it all. Painting, carpentry, plumbing, electrical, drywall, and more. I have had nothing but bad experiences in the past, so this was a refreshing change. I would definitely recommend Affordable Handyman for any residential or commerical jobs. Pros: Quality, timeliness, cost, courtesy, professionalism Cons: None more

Quick responce time and great service! 2/21/2008

I sent an inquiry on a weekday afternoon to get some blinds hung. I received a quote the following day, and had my job completed within a week at below the cost of the quote! Martin was extremely friendly and did the job quickly and efficiently! He even asked if there was anything else thatn I needed done while he was there after he completed hanging my blinds. I would definitely recommend Martin to anyone. Service was friendly, quick, and within original estimate! Pros: Responsive to initial inquiry and completed job quickly and efficiently. more

Just Fantastic 10/9/2007

Martin and his assistant came over in two hours notice. I needed them in a crunch and he was there with no questions asked. He came after hours around 6:30pm on his free time once his other jobs were completed. But aside from working on my schedule he does GREAT CLEAN AFFORTABLE WORK!!!!! I have complete confidence in anything he does and I know I will be charged a fair price. That is very hard to find these days. What ever your need around the house is, do yourself a favor and hire Martin for your job. You will not be disappointed. In just an hour and 1/2 he pulled all my speaker wire behind my drywall and fished more speaker wire under my floor though some piping to the other side of my room. He then plugged my drywall holes and had them mudded before he left. My floors were swept and looked as if nothing had been done at all. Just FANTASIC!!! Thanks again Martin you really saved me. Glen Pros: great affortable work AAAA+++ Cons: not a one more

Top Notch Work 9/13/2007

I've know Martin for several years. He is completely trustworthy. He will be there when he says he will, and you can safely leave him in your home while you are away. Martin is a perfectionist and a jack-of-all-trades. He will tell you if you need a specialist, and not attempt something only to get in trouble. Martin removed two kitchen soffits, rerouted an electrical conduit and exhaust vent, installed wallboard, mudded & primed, then mounted new cabinets. He also installed a vanity and new boxes for wall sconce lighting in my bathroom - all to the exacting standards of my wife! He is very creative in resolving those wierd issues that always come up in projects (and I don't mean with a paper clip and duct tape.) He has installed toilets and a roof ehaust fan - all with no damage and no problems. He gets repeat business from me when I need something I'm not comfortable handling for myself. I've recommended him to my friends, and they invariably thank me for the referral. You can also have confidence in his assistant, Valentine. Pros: Integrity, Reliability, Skill Cons: None that I know more

Best in Handyland! 9/11/2007

Affordable Handyman is a great service. I called the service to install drapery rods. Martin (the owner) came over and put up the rods. Martin and his assistant changed my apartment entry and bedroom door locks, which improved the old outdated work my landlord failed to upgrade. I asked him if he would come back and install ceiling fans in both the living room and bedroom. He quoted me a price. I made an appointment. His work is quick precise and very professional and most importantly ?Affordable!? I recommend his service to anyone who needs assistance. I especially recommend him to tenants with slow or lazy building managers who make his service necessary! Pros: Thumbs up-Knowledgeable and polite. more

Great service 8/28/2007

I called Affordable Handyman to install drapes in my living room. After our power went out from a storm, and I missed our scheduled appointment, Martin could not have been nicer or more acommodating. He came the next day (and even came early!), and worked quickly and efficiently to hang the drapes. He was extremely professional, and I felt very safe with him in my house. I will be sure to call again for future projects. Pros: Punctual, trustworthy, quality work more

Affordable Handyman is a great service. I called the service after putting multiple holes in my wall trying to put up a drapery rod. Martin (the owner) came over and put up the rod. He also filled the holes i left with material to hide the defects in the wall. I felt comfortable with him in my home and i will ask him to come back to help with other home services. more

A true "Jack-Of-All-Trades" 7/17/2007

I was referred to Affordable Handyman for some general "remodeling-type" work I wanted done in a new town home. Over the last several months, Martin Lorenzo has completed a variety of projects for me including installation/grouting of a glass tile mosaic kitchen backsplash, installation/grouting of travertine 12 x 12 tiles around a fireplace hearth, removal of medicine cabinets and mirrors, patch and repair of drywall ready for painting, painting, and installation of bathroom vanity countertop and fixtures. Martin is extremely hardworking, efficient, versatile and creative (often assisting me with ideas how best to accomplish my objective). His work is meticulous as is his work style. He is very professional, friendly, patient (significant, given my lack of "general contracting" experience) and responsive and accommodating to me and my schedule. His rates are fair and reasonable. Martin does it all, and does it all extremely well! Quite a find! I will seek his services again for future projects, without hesitation. more

Affordable, dependable, courteous service 7/9/2007

I called Affordable Handyman based on the reviews that were posted. Everything the other reviewers said was correct. I needed a ceiling fan replaced, which Martin quickly did. I had hoped to get a quote for some drywall repair that needed to be done and Martin and one of his staff actually did the repair the same day. It is a real find to have a resource that works after 4 PM! I was pleased with the courteous service on the phone when I made the first call and extremely happy with the work that was performed. They cleaned up the drywall mess quickly and efficiently, and drywall repair can make a mess. I highly recommend their work and will call them again for additional repairs. Pros: Kept appointment and that is very important to someone who works. Efficient and great job. more

Prompt, efficient, effective service 5/19/2007

I had a problem with birds getting into my dryer vent from the outside of the building. I contacted Affordable Handyman to put a vent cap on the dryer exhaust vent. The day of the appointment, Martin called to confirm! He showed up on time. He realized there was already a vent cap on the exhaust vent and that I'd been wrong about what needed to be done. He suggested a sort of cage to put over the vent to prevent the birds from getting in. He went and got what was needed and put it up. He was very polite and explained what he was going to do. I found the service extremely satisfactory. I was really nervous about hiring a handyman since I'd never done it before and didn't know anyone who knew one. I thought the person wouldn't arrive or change the charges. Affordable Handyman did none of these. The work Martin did was done in a timely manner and effectively. I will use him for future projects when needed. Pros: Service, reliablity, customer service Cons: None I can think of right now more
