I had an absolutely amazing experience with this company and its employees. I reached out after seeing amazing reviews and Anila followed up many times with me and happy to help in any way. The handyman that was on my job was named Terence. He was extremely prompt and worked like a horse. Never took a break and politely declined any offer I made him of a snack or beverage. He was focused on getting the job done, and doing it right. It’s clear he takes a lot of pride in his work. He was very friendly and respectful to my dog and children as well. He’s had prior experience but only with this company two weeks and you can tell he is eager to make a good impression and make his employers proud. Talking to him some I found out he was a Marine, so I love that the company also hires veterans. My husband usually handles house maintenance but I had to step in a lot and even though I wasn’t sure some of the time of what I was doing, Terence never once made me feel like I was wasting his time or annoyed that I didn’t know technical terms. If anything, he was very encouraging to ensure I was happy with the job and didn’t mind any extra time it took to get things done. I was very impressed with their brochure of all the things they can do, I’ll definitely be hiring them again. For reference, some of the jobs they did were: caulking ( and removal of old caulk) drywall, fridge tubing, locks, security camera instillation, patching up holes in walls. I also want to mention their pricing, incredibly reasonably and not in any way gauging. They wrote up three different quotes with different job options to fit different budgets, and I ended up creating my own option if you’d like to call it that where i picked and chose what jobs I wanted done for my budget and on the spot in front of me they created a new column with an instant quote. I loved that because I didn’t feel like they were being sneaky or stepping away to see if they could get more out of me or anything. I can’t say enough about this company, the job they did and the people working for them. The owner of Suffolk counties Mr.Handyman came out personally with Terence initially which was high praise and very reassuring. I’ve already told all my neighbors about them and will continue to do so. If you are on the fence about a handyman, don’t even question the decision to go with Mr.Handyman, you won’t regret it.

After 17 years of disappointment, frustration, and failed attempts to get a quality deck, I finally found Mr. Handyman—and more importantly, John Povey and his extraordinary team. Over the years, I’ve dealt with poor craftsmanship, over-sanding, failed stains and paint jobs, and unreliable contractors. But from the moment I met John and his crew, I knew this time would be different. Greg, the lead carpenter, is not only incredibly talented but also kind, communicative, and consistently had my best interests in mind. He checked in with me throughout the project to ensure every detail matched my vision—and added some of his own and absolutely crushed it. He led a fantastic team that included Griff (John’s stepson, who is learning the trade and doing excellent work) and Jim, who I was pleasantly surprised to learn is also my neighbor. Every day, they cleaned up so thoroughly it was like they were never there—and when the job was done, they even put my deck furniture back in place. Let the decorating begin! And it doesn’t stop with the craftsmanship—the office team, including John’s wife, was incredibly professional and responsive, sending timely email reminders and text updates. I especially appreciated the personal touch of contractor photos included with messages, so I knew exactly who to expect. As a final touch, when the deck was completed, John personally called to ask if there was anything they could have done better. That kind of humility and dedication to excellence is rare. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a single thing—the deck is absolute perfection and far beyond what I had imagined. Greg also custom-built shed doors for me, beautifully solving yet another issue from a prior contractor. They are both functional and stunning. I wholeheartedly and without hesitation recommend Mr. Handyman. If you’re looking for integrity, skill, communication, and a result that exceeds expectations—this is the team you want. New addition! 10/16/2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Handyman of Huntington and Smithtown! Anila is absolutely fantastic to work with — friendly, organized, and always accommodating. We had to reschedule, and she made it completely seamless and stress-free, always handling everything with a smile. She’s the magic behind the operation! I’m a repeat customer — and nowhere near done yet. I’ve been in my home for 18 years and held off on upgrades because I just couldn’t find anyone I truly trusted. That changed with John Povey, of Mr. Handyman. They’ve completely transformed my home. Greg re-screened all of my windows, removed rotted wood that was causing hidden water damage behind my siding, and replaced it with maintenance-free trim that will last for years. But the real game changer was when Greg and Chuck removed a pony wall, redirected the electrical and cable, and installed a large new window in my den — a room that was once dark and gloomy is now filled with light and feels like new and hung my tv on the wall! They even offer 0% financing, which makes it easy to take on projects when inspiration strikes. You know exactly who is coming to your home with convenient text messages with photos and John, the owner ALWAYS calls after the job is completed to ask how it went, are you satisfied and to reiterate they stand behind their work and I stand behind them. I finally feel like my home is becoming everything I’ve dreamed of — a space that truly brings me joy and happiness. I can’t wait to see what we do next!

Great service. I had them fix a pocket door (which nobody else wanted to do) and fix my front door. Both times they were ready and able to do the work without delay. Jason was friendly and personable, and did a great job. Would definitely recommend.

Well the initial list that was given and we had quoted somehow missed the floor installation that was clearly on my list. Then the handyman left before my railing came and said he would be back (note, he painted the wall and I decided to get the new railing to put back last minute).I got a call that they would send him back it’s only 10 min job. Next day comes and he doesn’t show up and I text and have in writing the office should have called you to tell you I would come tomorrow. I said ok. Just wanted to make sure you were coming back. Then next day is here and I get a call that they want to charge me to come back to install it. I just spent $5000 on various items they did and no customer appreciation or stand by their word. Very disappointing. It started out good. Guy was on time and did an ok job, not great. A little messy with the spackle and paint on other items. If you use make sure to get your quote emailed. I had no idea they forgot to include the floor.

We are very pleased with Mr. Handyman. They came out promptly to give us an estimate on the work we were requesting and scheduled it and did the work in a timely and professional manner. I would recommend Mr Handyman to our friends. The Merrows
