Home Services reviews in Chicago, Illinois

This is the second time my husband and I have used Handico and we continue to be extremely pleased with the service, quality, and professionalism. I was one-week out from my due date when our neighbor's washing machine leaked into our ceiling directly across from the nursery. Although it wasn't a true emergency, Joe still got someone out right away so we could have peace of mind before the baby arrived. Andrew arrived on time, worked efficiently, fixed the issue, and explained his work, all for a reasonable price especially given the expedited service. We would highly recommend Handico to anyone seeking top notch handyman services!

Working with HandiCo was a great experience! The repairmen were kind and professional. They checked in with me multiple times throughout the project to ensure it was to my liking. I will definitely use them again for other home repairs.

Joe and his team are a breeze to work with. Joe is extremely responsive and offers reasonable pricing. We did a partial remodel of our kitchen and some other small house projects that needed done. Pablo led the project and he was so pleasant to work with. Always on time, professional, and prepared. We are converting our downtown loft into a full time rental and will be using HandiCo for any home repairs that arise in the future.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Handi Co. to address a persistent leaking problem, and I must say, the experience exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I contacted the company, I was impressed by the level of professionalism and customer service.

Jeo, the manager, is exceptionally responsive and friendly. Every time I called, he made sure to accommodate my schedule, often going out of his way to arrange appointments at my convenience. It's rare to find such dedication and willingness to help, and it made the whole process much smoother and stress-free.

The technician, Juan Carlose (JC), who handled the project, was nothing short of outstanding. JC is not only extremely friendly and approachable, but he also brings a level of professionalism and expertise that is truly commendable. He worked tirelessly to fix the issue, ensuring every detail was attended to with precision and care. His commitment to doing the job right was evident from start to finish, and the results speak for themselves—the project was completed flawlessly.

The leaking problem, which had been a major concern, was resolved thanks to JC's hard work and attention to detail. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. It's clear that Handi Co. is a company that values quality and customer satisfaction above all else.

I highly recommend Handi Co. and especially JC for anyone in need of reliable and professional service. They are truly a cut above the rest!

We recently moved to a new home in West Town and needed a contractor out to run wires behind the wall for our TV’s and notch our crown molding for window treatments. HandiCo, Inc were excellent! Scheduling was easy and the work was so well done. Will definitely use again!

Joe and Pablo are FANTASTIC. We just bought a new home and reached out to HandiCo for some fixes before we moved in. Joe replied on Christmas Eve (!!) to schedule Pablo to come by in the New Year. Pablo was incredibly informative and taught us so many things, which was invaluable as first time homeowners. Will not hesitate to have HandiCo come by again in the future!

I have used HandiCo many times and they always exceed my expectations in the quality of their work. Scheduling has always been easy and the guys they send are professional and know what they are doing. It's time and money well spent!

The HandiCo crew helped us with a major ceiling drywall repair and paint project. From planning to completion they did a phenomenal job. Everyone was highly professional, thorough, flexible, very friendly and just great to work with. We are glad we found such a reliable and high quality partner and are really looking forward to do future projects with them.

I am grateful for the responsiveness and quick repairs done at my home. Juan is very skilled and and Joe is a great manager. We have used HandiCo for many years now and we will continue to!

Joe and his crew are great! I called to schedule an entire condo painting and a long list of handiwork. His team was very prompt every day. On day 1 his team and I walked our entire condo going over each item of work to ensure they understood what was needed. The paint job was awesome.The entire condo painting top to bottom and handiwork was finished in less than a week. Felt like it was a new condo at the end! I just called them again to do electrical work and schedule work the next day. Great group and great work!

I had a fairly lengthy to do list that included everything from minor electrical work to fixing all kinds of broken things around the house. HandiCo was easy to schedule, and handled everything quickly and easily. They were able to troubleshoot, and even fixed a ceiling fan/light switch that had never worked properly, despite bringing in electricians over the years. I've tried working with numerous independent handy people, and scheduling is always so difficult. I will absolutely contact HandiCo again instead!

Joe, Pablo and team are AMAZING. We are not a handy family and before calling HandiCo I just let the "To Do List" Pile up. I've been lucky enough to work with HandiCo for around a year, and it's so great (and such a relief) to have someone I can call to help me fix the small items around the house as well as start considering bigger projects. We are so grateful for their help and look forward to working with them on more projects.

Sadly, I can’t speak about the quality of their work. We scheduled them to come and do drywall repair, and they no-showed our first appointment. They didn’t contact us, or try to reschedule. I wanted to give them them another chance, so I followed up directly and rescheduled. They confirmed the new date, with little apology for no-showing (sounded like they were busy and we got cast to the side for a bigger job). Fast forward, they contacted me 45 minutes before the reschedule and cancelled again due to staff illness. I understand staff calls in sick etc, and l’m sympathetic … but I won’t be rescheduling for a third time just to have them waste my time and energy hoping someone shows up.

I can't say enough good things about Joe and his team. Demond installed a challenging kitchen backsplash and it came out great. I appreciated that Demond made a couple of style and color recommendations. I took his suggestions (brushed nickel outlet covers!) and the backsplash looks incredible. Hire these guys. They're on time, they communicate well, and they know what they're doing.

Handico cut/installed trim for 8 custom window, 2 door trims and baseboards for me in June 2022. Tom did a fantastic job and is very pleasant to work with as he truly loves what he does for a living! The owner, Joe, is a man of great integrity and fully stands behind their work, which is very reassuring to me because it says alot about him as a business owner. I also previously hired them to install quarter-round moulding in my home and Tom did an excellent job with that, also. They are definitely on my "go-to" list for home improvements/repairs

Joe and the HandiCo team were super-awesome. Needing my toilet replaced along with some related floor/tile repair, Joe and his team were great communicators and executors. They made sure to discuss my issue, sought out options to save money where possible without sacrificing quality.

Joe was always friendly to deal with by phone and text.

Was recommended to handiCo, Nancy, Joe and Andrew did not disappoint. I needed upper kitchen cabinets center and a drywall section repaired. As an owner/property manager I will be using their services again ….

Joe, Pablo and Demond were great to work with. They painted my place and repaired some smaller issues before I listed my place. I was so comfortable I left town while they did the work and arrived home to my place looking great. They are friendly, knowledgeable and I'd use them again.

We hired Handico to help us with our kitchen renovation (just completed in May 2021) for the demolition part. (The company we bought cabinets and countertops from only does installs). This our third time working with Handico for different household repairs/projects. The previous two times turned out great, so we had no hesitation calling them for this job.
Working with Joe to set up the dates and the work to be done was easy… all over the phone, with some images shared via email. Since Handico works on a time-and-material basis (ie hourly rate), it really makes arranging the work so much easier (in my opinion, anyway).
We needed the following done: (1) Take down and remove all existing cabinets and counter tops, (2) remove the soffit that the upper cabinets were anchored to, (3) patch-up where the soffit used to be, and other areas as needed, (4) relocate electrical outlets for the range and Microwave hood, (5) hook up new plumbing to the new sink. Joe was very keen to our needs; he even sent one of his guys over to check the soffit as an “advance scout” to eliminate any surprises and secrets the soffit may be hiding (it turned out to be empty). Joe also requested the drawings and spec sheet of our new kitchen provided by the cabinet company to ensure that the area is properly prepped. He definitely knew what needed to be done.
The work: Joe sent Luis to tackle the job. While a 2nd guy came aboard to help with the demo, Luis was clearly the guy in charge. Luis was very professional and he knows his trade very very well. I’ll try to attach some pictures to show what was done. Whenever possible, Luis would ask what needed to be asked. When necessary, Luis would pull me aside and explain what he needed to do. And when I wasn’t catching on, Luis was also very patient with me. I did my best to stay out of his way.
In the end, Luis and Handico left the site how it needed to be. The day after, our Cabinets were installed uneventfully. Not a single complaint from the installers. The upper cabinets were mounted where the soffit used to be. Base cabinets were put in. All cabinets were cut out for new plumbing and outlets; perfectly placed by Luis the day before. Aside from the fact that we discovered my walls aren’t square (typical for a home built in 1949), the whole project went without a hitch. Luis did come back to finish the plumbing after the sink and countertops were put in. Handico delievered!
This was definitely a big job. While I can’t say it was stress-free (hey, it’s still a kitchen reno), I couldn’t be any happier on the end result. And without Handico, it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did. We will hire them again in the future.
Oh yeah, the Cabinet people were great, too… but that’s for a different review.

Great and respectable business and people. Projects and/or jobs come out fantastic !

Thanks, Anthony!
