Gary the Handyman

We used “Gary” for some work and I’m left incredibly frustrated with the poor quality work and his response. I would never recommend nor use them ever again. We paid nearly $2k for drywall work and a few other smaller tasks. Handyman was nice but didn’t wear a mask and left his work area extremely dirty, splashing paint on random walls/floors. The drywall work was not good as some cracks reappeared immediately (didn’t use tape, just quickly slapped mud on), and the paint was horribly matched- like not even close (which Gary shrugged off a picture of by claiming “we say we can’t match” in the fine print), and the cherry on top was tub caulking that literally peeled off upon the first shower days later. His website touts a two year warranty (but not on drywall or paint, so thanks), but if you aren’t happy with the quality of work performed by your handyman he subcontracts out to, he just responds with “XYZ is really good, I’ll send him back out to fix it to your satisfaction.” How about no! They messed it up the first time, why would I trust them again? We’re now having to repay for all that work to be redone correctly. Never trust a handyman who has to advertise on Google to get business and never trust someone who subcontracts out to the lowest bidder. Gary overcharges per job and they underperform. Do not trust the reviews.
