Handy rubbish sent out a guy and his team to clear a house of rubbish. I am in the trade so was able to negotiate a fair price. The guys that arrived were absolutely amazing but I discovered 40% of their earnings go to Handy Rubbish who are based overseas and just sub the work out. This amount is before they tip. Not a fair set up at all.

Purchased an install from Lowe's
Purchased an install from Lowe's, who uses handy. I never got a name of the installer or any contact information, i was unable to get the information from them. on the day of the scheduled install i got a message saying they had to reschedule because they did not have a pro to do the installation. This is unacceptable from any company.
Their customer service sucks they kept sending me to their parent company Angi who just kept telling me to wait they would find a pro at some point.
Again this is unacceptable.
how can you schedule an installation before you have anyone set up to do the work.

Horrible company. I used them for a 6 month trial for cleaning and the last cleaning the cleaner stole clothes, money in private areas so they went through all my stuff, phone chargers, and probably more but that’s what I noticed so far. They also left my freezer open and a light in a cabinet in my kitchen that melted a bag and couldn’t caused a fire. I filed a claim but I doubt they do anything. Don’t ever use this company for anything

I just got off the phone
I just got off the phone. I had purchased a TV from Target who used Handy to perform the installation. Well, I thought I had scheduled the service, but I got no response via email. When I went on Handy's chat service, I was told that I needed to call Target back to fix the issue. After going thru two phone people at Target, they sent me back to Handy which had no idea what I was talking about. I've given up and will contact a third party to get my TV mounted.

Avoid at any cost
I first encountered Handy when I bought a Google Nest thermostat that included installation.
Google referred the scheduling to Handy. I've now had FOUR different appointments and each time NO ONE has shown up.
Every time I contact Handy about this (and you have to use chat, the phone number DOES NOT work), all they want to do is reschedule. Then (like GroundHog Day), it happens all over again. I wait around and NO ONE shows up.
I'm now going back to Google Home so they understand what a problem and embarassment this company is to them.

This is the worst company that we have dealt with while setting up our house. We reserved two times and requested for a handyman for two job. Both the times, they cancelled the job stating that "Handyman not available just the day before". And here is the worst part, they don't refund your money to your credit card. They refund it to your Handy Account. Who does that? The first time, they did not refund our money to our credit card, we went ahead and booked another service and they asked for more money. So, we went ahead; but then again they cancelled the service and then we are stuck with $178 in our Handy account. Handy, you guys have a horrible Business model and its a very cheap and unreliable way to do business. Shame on you Guys.

I hired a professional they charge me $200 for cleaning and then they replace them with an illegal migrant man and I was extremely scared. I tried to cancel the booking and they refused. This is a bait and switch. They bait you with this really great cleaner with great reviews, and then they switch it at the last minute to a scary criminal

The machine I hired leaked everywhere
The machine I hired leaked everywhere. When I complained they said they would need to get an engineer to look at the machine. Never heard from them again. Shockingly poor 💩

Amazing installation. The two guys left the TV square and plumb against the wall so over time, it won’t tip to one side. Left the TV clean and spotless.

The person who accepted the job should not have. I do not believe he ever read the notes. It said a ladder was required. He did not bring one. He had to drill into cinder block, I had to provide constant assistance. He never worked with the equipment ( concrete anchors). It took him longer time than what was expected. He showed up 20 minutes late with no notification. And now the installation must be re-done as it was not installed properly.

The cleaner was 40mins late and didnt call to say he was late. He didn't identify himself. He left dishes in the kitchen, didn't dust and didnt take out the trash and left an hr early. The areas that he did clean, he did a good job. I paid for a deep cleaning so Inwas expecting for atleast all of the dishes to be washed. I didn't realize that until he left. He filled the diswasher and turned it on but the clear containers from the fridge were left on the counter. I knew a little more attention was needed in the kitchen that's why 2 of the bedrooms, he didnt have to clean and the floors would need to be cleaned twice due to dog and red clay.
