Champion City Handyman has done multiple repairs and installation projects for us and every one has been completed extremely professionally from quote to scheduling to completion. Everything they’ve done has turned out beautifully and the high quality of their work is apparent. The impressive end results are especially exceptional because this is a 120-year-old farm house with many quirks and complications. No project at this house ever is easy because it’s so old and things often are vastly out of the norm.
The Champion City Handyman professionals keep us well informed. Often there are underlying issues with this house, and they let us know right away, show us the situation, give us the various options, and let us decide what we want done.
Beyond the exceptional quality of the work, they also are wonderful at communication, sending appointment reminders for estimates and scheduled work as well as detailed estimates and invoices. And they show up on time every time! Every time! They send texts when they’re on the way and they come as scheduled and get right to work.
Every single person who has come to work on projects here has been extremely polite, pleasant, and patient no matter what challenge this house presents. They’re also very neat and careful. In an old farmhouse being updated and reorganized, that’s not as important as it would be in other houses but they still do it as a matter of course.
If it sounds like maybe I work for them or know them beyond their projects for us, I do not. I could never do the work they do and am just so glad I found them. After we had them come out for one project, we knew we’d be having them do more because we were so impressed.
We’ve had other repair people here—when they showed up—and the difference is like a moonless midnight and noon on a bright summer day. The others often didn’t show up or came hours or days late, didn’t return calls or emails, often did work that just wasn’t at this level of quality, and left a mess.
In summary, we just couldn’t be happier with the work by Champion City Handyman has done for us. With six projects done and several others scheduled, our house is safer, more efficient, and functioning and looking better all the time.
Update:
Since I first posted, Champion City Handyman has done and is doing many other projects for us and “this old house”. Bob Vila and Norm Abrams would be so proud! Seriously: They text to confirm they’re coming, text when they’re on the way, and do such careful, house-transforming work while they’re here—and they’re always working to make sure that what they do is what I want even if it’s not what everyone else might want. That makes such a difference to me! I have zero handy-person skills and would never think about the details they do; thank heavens they do! For example, the walls in this 120+-year-old house have layers of stone, wood, brick, plaster, drywall, and various combinations, meaning they’re uneven, with gaps, cracks, and whatever else old walls can have. They pay such attention to detail and do whatever it takes in whatever they do to get it right, which is an understatement! They’re installing new vinyl plank floors and if the walls are a challenge, imagine the floors of this farmhouse. Every room they finish looks so great that we just can’t believe it’s our house. I’ve had work done here before by reputable companies but the work done by James, Maria, Kyle, and everyone else at Champion City Handyman is of such better quality that I’m continually amazed—and SO GRATEFUL I found them! On top of it all, they all are so considerate, neat, and pleasant even given the challenges of this old house plus our pets coming and going—and with us here most of the time working. Their efforts make our house safer, more attractive, and easier to maintain. With all these accolades I’ve written, it might seem like I work for them or am related but neither is true. I just am so grateful for their excellent work and I want to let others know about them, too. Thank you!
