Mr. Handyman of Des Moines

I hired Mr Handyman of Des Moines recently to repair some things in my townhome & was very satisfied with the work done by Tim & Jordan. This is the 2nd time I’ve hired Mr Handyman & will be hiring them again. I trust them & am confident of their expertise. Every time I’ve talked to Bridget in the office she has been so helpful scheduling appointments & answering my questions. I’ll be recommending Mr Handyman to all my family & friends.
Satisfied Customer

We have used Handyman several times and never been disappointed. Always quality work done with skill and integrity. Shawn was awesome. He was on time, friendly, and explained things clearly. Our job was easier than expected and he adjusted our bill to reflect that. We will continue to use Handyman!

Alex Lewis was very personable, knowledgeable and was very comfortable talking to us about what repairs needed to be done and what the cost would be. He made sure we were aware of when workers would be coming and followed up with us when the work was completed. You will not be disappointed to use Mr Handyman and Alex Lewis for work in and around your home‼️

Shawn, Tim and Jordan came to install new bathroom cabinets. They handled every aspect with total professionalism and helped get our family back to working order in quick timing. Thank you so much! We'll call again when we need more help.

Kirk was very professional and explained all of his work. He cleaned up everything when he finished. He was courteous and pleasant to us as well. We would use him again without reservation.

I am so impressed with Mr handyman services both times I have had work done. Their problem solving skills and attention to detail is second to none. I have recommended them to everyone i know who has those fix it jobs that require a little out of box thinking to get done. I am so pleased with the jobs done.

Had wood deck replaced with composite material/aluminum railings and additional rock and brick edgers put in underneath deck. There were some delays in getting project started and fully completed due to scheduling issues with the crew. Mike and his staff took action to address the delays. Total project completed in two weeks time. I’m very pleased with outcome.

Jordan was courteous and smart. He solved problems that had stumped other workers. I happily hired him again for another day.

Roger did a great job. He installed a number of new light fixtures, replaced 2 faucets, and fixed a broken shut off valve. His work was top notch and he left our house cleaner than when he started. Highly recommend.

Tim Goodall was my technician! He replaced the grout in my kitchen along the base of the patio sliders. He did a great job! He was also courteous and thorough! I am very pleased!

Kirk came to our house to repair two sliding glass doors. He was very helpful and very friendly. I highly recommend.

Mr. Handyman did a great job with our concrete slabs. The crew was nice and the quality of the finish was outstanding.

Really disappointed. We had someone come out to give us a quote to repair our deck. He sent over the estimate via email, including different options for different types of railings. We must have emailed and called a million times with questions about the types of railing, as well as requested links to the specific railings he was thinking about using, and no one EVER got back to us. Finally, we were so frustrated, we just picked one type of railing and hoped for the best. We scheduled the work to be done, and when the day came, NO ONE SHOWED UP!! We called, and were told that there were attempts to contact us, but we have zero texts, emails, or voicemails from them. They then told us that they didn't realize the posts didn't come with the rest of the railing, so they would have to order them, and it would take 4 more weeks. This was so unbelievably frustrating, and the lack of communication so wildly unprofessional, that we decided to essentially cancel the whole project and look elsewhere. I don't know what's going on here, but we are not happy. We really want a usable deck to enjoy the summer, and were really looking forward to this work being done.

Tim 100% professional and courteous, 100% knowledgeable, very very satisfied with his work, Thanks to you Bridget for setting me up with this technician

I just had Jordan here to put a mailbox post in. He was exceptional, pointed out the thousands of ants in the hole, and that he could put ant killer in there. He is so well mannered, and does a very good job. I highly recommend him!

Sean did a great job! We received timely communication about when our project would get done. We also received a text notification about when the construction crew would arrive. Everyone was kind, professional and helpful. We love the privacy fence panel and newly constructed handrail on our deck.

Our kitchen and guest bedroom walls were ripped out by plumbers. Our technician, Drew, really knew a lot about fixing damaged walls and fixed them so you can't even tell the ripped out sections were ever there. And as a plus our dog really liked Drew and made friends with him.

This is my first time using Mr.Handyman and the service was amazing. Also, Bridget and Jordan’s service was excellent. I will tell others and use Mr. Handyman’s again.

Travis did excellent work on my home and was very friendly. His work is top-notch. My only complaint is that I had to clean wood and shingle pieces off my front lawn. But I would highly recommend him and your company.

Jordan was very professional and went above and beyond to ensure that the job was done to my complete satisfaction. The estimate that I was given was what I paid. I would highly recommend them for any job around your house. Thank you Mr. Handyman.

Kirk and Jordan did a fantastic job of patching drywall and repairing paint behind my sink after a plumbing issue. Definitely recommend!

The technician was very personable and easy to talk to. He asked my opinion on his work and did a nice job. it was nice to catch up as I hadn't spoken to him since he was in 4th grade at Park avenue.

I had the best experience with our installer, a personable young man that knows what he’s doing as exceedingly confident I would recommend him and your service every day any day. Thank you, Scott Casber KXNO radio. Jordan was fantastic and excellent representative of everything that you guys stand for.

We could not be happier with our experience with Mr. Handyman. The whole encounter was first rate and the cost was quite reasonable.
Alex was our tech and he was professional, courteous, and concerned with making us happy. He involved us in every decision and it seemed more like a friend just stopped by to help with a project than that he was a hired contractor.

Alex was dispatched to reset the remote on a Sunsetter awning. Sunsetter referred me to The Handyman after I could not figure out the directions myself. This referral was done without Handy Man knowing it, and they typically do not do not do those kind of repairs. They install the awnings but not do any repair. Alex was determined to try to figure out a solution, even coming back a second time. I was extremely satisfied that Alex went above and beyond to figure out the complicated problem. The charge for repair was extremely fair. I commend Alex for his willingness to make it right with me, despite the fact that he was in a situation outside of his control. I highly recommend this company for their work ethic and service.

Had drywall repair work done on ceilings and walls and also some ceramic tile installed. Excellent work and the job got done in the time stated in the estimate. I plan on using for future handy work needed around the house.

Mr. Handyman fixed a leaking roof for us in the garage. They did a great job! Shawn was a great technician. In addition to doing a great job with the project, he did well communicating with us each step of the way. Shawn also cleaned up and ensured there was no mess left behind. We highly recommend this company and Shawn the technician!

We got help from Mr Handyman on several projects – they hung drywall on the garage ceiling and did some repair, and did the mudding, texturing, and painting. Tim from Mr Handyman handled the trim work and added ceiling access in the garage. He also built custom shelves for storing firewood, etc, did the drywall/mud/texture for a wall in the basement, replaced a wood burning stove and created a steel sheeting solution for the wall behind the stove. Tim, Drew and Jordyn were very creative moving the 400 pound stove – they used the ancient Egyptian roller technique.

Everyone was great to work with, Mike who did the estimate, the office staff who handled scheduling, Alex, Christian, Juan, Drew, Jordyn, and of course Tim.

We are very pleased with all the results. We will definitely use them again for future projects.

Drew did a great job putting in a new fence segment. He gave me two choices on how to repair and talked me through. I enjoyed working with him. He was friendly and did a great and quick job. Look forward to working with him and your crews on other summer or fall projects

Drew did an excellent job fixing my front door and fence! He was prompt and professional, walking me through every step along the way. He finished the job in the expected time frame. The work looks great! Both the fence and the door are secure and the installation are perfect. No concerns at all. Thanks so much for all your help, Drew!

I used Mr Handyman twice in the last three weeks! Kirk fixed my front window and Alex installed a new outside door! The customer service women, Bridgette and Kaci are extremely helpful. I will definitely be calling them again. I have plenty of little jobs I need done!

Very pleased with the work of Kirk and Alex at Mr. Handyman! They took our siding off to get some internal work done and re attached it as if it had never been off. Thank you!

First time using Mr. Handyman. Drew was on time and explained everything clearly. The work was done well and quickly. Drew was respectful of my time. Will call again for future projects.

We had the pleasure of working with Drew from Mr. Handyman for our basement project, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Drew was incredibly efficient, professional, and knowledgeable, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. He repaired a water leak and expertly handled drywall, texture, paint, carpet padding, and trim his attention to detail was truly impressive. Throughout the project, he went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and informed, taking the time to explain each step and making sure everything was done to the highest standard. Not only was he extremely courteous, but his expertise truly made a difference in the final result. We would absolutely use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-notch craftsmanship and service.

Jordan T was very kind & helpful I will have them back out to do more stuff for me love my new Kitchen Faucet

This review isn’t about any work performed. I called to see if I could get an appointment for some minor odd jobs around my house. I was told they didn’t have anything for 2 weeks out, as Mr. Handyman was taking a vacation. Ok, fine, how about the following week? So, they schedule me for the following week and the day before he/they are to show up I get a call letting me know that Mr. Handyman has had something come up and he won’t be able to make it. Could they schedule me for the following week.? I let them know the only day I’d be available that following week was on Friday, I was told, no sorry, Mr.Handyman doesn’t do estimates on Fridays. That’s when me and Mr. Handyman had to part ways. Maybe he does good work, but I’ll never know since I couldn’t get him to come give me an estimate to begin with.

First time using Mr. handyman/Drew and I was impressed! They explained everything clearly, gave a fair quote, and the work was done perfectly. Will call again for future projects.

Alex our tech was great. Thorough, efficient and most importantly.. clean. Would recommend not only him but Mr. Handyman in general.

Couldn't be more pleased with Drew from Mr. Handyman. Super personable and professional. Definitely will get repeat business from this customer! Beautiful caulking job with so much extra effort to make it just right.

My first time using Mr. Handyman and I was pleased with the workmanship and professionalism. I’ll use the services of Mr Handyman again.

Gabe is Great! I had multiple little projects he completed. He also looked over other bigger projects for bid & future planning.
Wonderful to work with.

Very professional, prompt and curtisious. Will definitely use again. Alex was awesome. Always kept us in the loop of what was going on and he did great work.

The process was easy. Gabriel was polite and cleaned up both work areas. We won't hesitate to call Mr. Handyman in the future.

The worst thing I can say about them is also the best thing. Their booking times are often so far out because they are in such demand based on their reputation, and based on my experience of using them for the first time, it was worth the wait. Rates are fair and quality is exactly what you would expect for such an in demand company. I needed some drywall hung in the basement, some overhead seams taped in the garage, mudding/texture done underneath a sink, and what I thought was just some moisture damaged drywall underneath my toilet and a backer-board put in. It turned out the toilet had been leaking over a year and the drywall had bowed because of mold. Needless to say, that became a plumbing job and the trim and toilet came with it. One could have become overwhelmed, especially because my toilet is Toto wall mount, and because the price could have gone up considerably, but these guys are the real deal. Finished within the two day timeframe and only charged me for a missing shutoff and one piece of trim. I will happily use them again!!!

I worked with Mike and Tim for water damage from my plumbing system. I was very stressed out having to deal with insurance issues and the stresses of being a single parent, working full time, in school full time. Tim and Mike always make me feel like they’d have my back with the issues with the house even as we found more and more damage. They were more than accommodating and always willing to work with me! I really appreciated the extra time they took with explaining things, dealing with my insurance, and even picking up main colors and flooring I wanted! I never heard them complain even when I felt like I was being needy and indecisive! I greatly appreciate Mr. handyman and already plan on using their services for other home work!

Alex was fantastic, he made sure the work was perfect and was very easy to work with. Special shout out to Bridget in the office for making sure we were scheduled quickly.

Mr. Handyman of Des Moines was selected to do Southtown Chryslers break room remodel. After initial contact, Southtown had a bid within 2 business days. The bid was competitive using high quality products. Travis, Southtown’s technician was extremely professional and detailed in his work. Work was completed right the first time and in a timely manner. After the extremely satisfactory work, Southtown is getting a few more bids for other upgrades within the dealership. Thank you Mr. Handyman and our technician, Travis.

Alex and Jesus did a great job putting a new floor and ceiling plus wall around the shower in my bathroom. Very nice guys too. A+

Outstanding local business! Ownership is fantastic to work with - they truly go above and beyond to help! Employees are extremely courteous, respectful, and detail oriented with their work in your home. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

Very professional and they did very good work. And, the price was reasonable and worth it. I would highly recommend.

The technician showed up timely and did a great job with the repair job. We had moisture damage in our closet where they cut out the damage and repaired it. They even matched the ceiling texture. Very respectful of our home and cleaned up well.

Tim, the technician, did an excellent job with repairing a tricky drawer. He figured out the best way to repair it so it would stay. We were happy with the result.

I was very pleased with Kirk’s work installing a new door lock and deadbolt and also repairing a ceiling fan. I highly recommend.

Tyler was professional, timely, and repaired my broken desk hutch quickly and thoroughly. He let me know of the many other services his company provides and I will definitely be calling him for future services and home repairs. Highly recommend!!

We had a huge hole in the wall and Tyler and Jesus with Mr. Handyman had it repaired in record time. You can't even tell that anything had been wrong with it. They were very timely, friendly and professional. They even patched another little spot by the door that I had tried to fix myself because they had some material left over. I will definitely use them again if the need arises and I highly recommend them.

Called and Brittany was able to get us in the same day for an emergency door repair. Tyler arrived and got right to work. He was able to fix our door and make it better than new. He was kind, courteous, knowledgeable and knew exactly what needed to be done. We appreciated his coming out and staying after hours even on the night before a holiday. Would highly recommend Tyler!

Alex Lewis is a very good and competent worker.I am very satisfied with his work and would not hesitate to use him again

Alex fixed our cabinet quickly and completely after several of our own efforts failed. We are very pleased with his work.

They were able to get someone out the same day I called. Kirk was very nice and fixed our couch quickly.

Mr. Handyman was responsive and timely in scheduling our projects. Tyler Wright was great to work with, and he and the team were efficient and did great clean up!

Great experience! Drew and Shawn- Mr. Handyman, were on time, professional, and got the place set done right. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Last year
Josh, with Mr. Handyman of Des Moines, is such a hard worker. I am super happy with the work he did to restore my deck and add the new railing. It was a big job especially since he had to remove the benches and replace boards. I felt like he treated my project like it was for his own home, which is impressive and refreshing. I received compliments even before the project was completed. Tyler, with Mr. Handyman of Des Moines, assisted with the stair railing and was just as helpful and wanted to make sure it was done to code and that I was happy with it. I highly recommend Mr. Handyman of Des Moines and will use them on future projects.

I was so impressed by the work ethic of the men that came and installed a French door for me. They were kind, respectful, and made sure I knew what they were doing at all times. I was also pleased that the price they quoted me, was the price I paid for the work. I will be using Mr. Handyman again !

Absolutely thrilled with the service from Mr. Handyman! Shawn Meeker was the technician who came out to repair the railing on our deck, and I can’t say enough good things about him. He was kind, courteous, and incredibly respectful from the moment he arrived. What really stood out was his attention to detail and the pride he clearly takes in his work—his craftsmanship was nothing short of exemplary. On top of that, he got the job done quickly without cutting any corners. It’s rare to find someone so professional and efficient. Highly recommend Mr. Handyman and especially Shawn Meeker for any home repair needs!

Total service performed was top notch. Their people are friendly & always on time.
Plus always let you know the stages of their progress. I will use them again!!

I Highly recommend!!!
