Martin and his assistant came over in two hours notice. I needed them in a crunch and he was there with no questions
asked. He came after hours around 6:30pm on his free time once his other jobs were completed. But aside from working on my
schedule he does GREAT CLEAN AFFORTABLE WORK!!!!! I have complete confidence in anything he does and I know I will be charged
a fair price. That is very hard to find these days. What ever your need around the house is, do yourself a favor and hire
Martin for your job. You will not be disappointed. In just an hour and 1/2 he pulled all my speaker wire behind my drywall
and fished more speaker wire under my floor though some piping to the other side of my room. He then plugged my drywall holes
and had them mudded before he left. My floors were swept and looked as if nothing had been done at all. Just FANTASIC!!! Thanks
again Martin you really saved me. Glen Pros: great affortable work AAAA+++ Cons:
not a one I've know Martin for several years. He is completely trustworthy. He will be there when he says he will, and you
can safely leave him in your home while you are away. Martin is a perfectionist and a jack-of-all-trades. He will tell you
if you need a specialist, and not attempt something only to get in trouble. Martin removed two kitchen soffits, rerouted an
electrical conduit and exhaust vent, installed wallboard, mudded & primed, then mounted new cabinets. He also installed
a vanity and new boxes for wall sconce lighting in my bathroom - all to the exacting standards of my wife! He is very creative
in resolving those wierd issues that always come up in projects (and I don't mean with a paper clip and duct tape.) He has
installed toilets and a roof ehaust fan - all with no damage and no problems. He gets repeat business from me when I need
something I'm not comfortable handling for myself. I've recommended him to my friends, and they invariably thank me for the
referral. You can also have confidence in his assistant, Valentine. Pros: Integrity,
Reliability, Skill Cons: None that I know Affordable Handyman is a great service. I called the service to install drapery rods. Martin (the owner) came over
and put up the rods. Martin and his assistant changed my apartment entry and bedroom door locks, which improved the old outdated
work my landlord failed to upgrade. I asked him if he would come back and install ceiling fans in both the living room and
bedroom. He quoted me a price. I made an appointment. His work is quick precise and very professional and most importantly
“Affordable!” I recommend his service to anyone who needs assistance. I especially recommend him to tenants with
slow or lazy building managers who make his service necessary! Pros: Thumbs up-Knowledgeable
and polite. I called Affordable Handyman to install drapes in my living room. After our power went out from a storm, and I missed
our scheduled appointment, Martin could not have been nicer or more acommodating. He came the next day (and even came early!),
and worked quickly and efficiently to hang the drapes. He was extremely professional, and I felt very safe with him in my
house. I will be sure to call again for future projects. Pros: Punctual, trustworthy,
quality work 08/10/2007 Posted by eyc88Affordable Handyman is a great service. I called the service after putting multiple holes in my wall trying to put
up a drapery rod. Martin (the owner) came over and put up the rod. He also filled the holes i left with material to hide the
defects in the wall. I felt comfortable with him in my home and i will ask him to come back to help with other home services. I was referred to Affordable Handyman for some general "remodeling-type" work I wanted done in a new town
home. Over the last several months, Martin Lorenzo has completed a variety of projects for me including installation/grouting
of a glass tile mosaic kitchen backsplash, installation/grouting of travertine 12 x 12 tiles around a fireplace hearth, removal
of medicine cabinets and mirrors, patch and repair of drywall ready for painting, painting, and installation of bathroom vanity
countertop and fixtures. Martin is extremely hardworking, efficient, versatile and creative (often assisting me with ideas
how best to accomplish my objective). His work is meticulous as is his work style. He is very professional, friendly, patient
(significant, given my lack of "general contracting" experience) and responsive and accommodating to me and my schedule.
His rates are fair and reasonable. Martin does it all, and does it all extremely well! Quite a find! I will seek his services
again for future projects, without hesitation. I called Affordable Handyman based on the reviews that were posted. Everything the other reviewers said was correct.
I needed a ceiling fan replaced, which Martin quickly did. I had hoped to get a quote for some drywall repair that needed
to be done and Martin and one of his staff actually did the repair the same day. It is a real find to have a resource that
works after 4 PM! I was pleased with the courteous service on the phone when I made the first call and extremely happy with
the work that was performed. They cleaned up the drywall mess quickly and efficiently, and drywall repair can make a mess.
I highly recommend their work and will call them again for additional repairs. Pros: Kept
appointment and that is very important to someone who works. Efficient and great job. I had a problem with birds getting into my dryer vent from the outside of the building. I contacted Affordable Handyman
to put a vent cap on the dryer exhaust vent. The day of the appointment, Martin called to confirm! He showed up on time. He
realized there was already a vent cap on the exhaust vent and that I'd been wrong about what needed to be done. He suggested
a sort of cage to put over the vent to prevent the birds from getting in. He went and got what was needed and put it up. He
was very polite and explained what he was going to do. I found the service extremely satisfactory. I was really nervous about
hiring a handyman since I'd never done it before and didn't know anyone who knew one. I thought the person wouldn't arrive
or change the charges. Affordable Handyman did none of these. The work Martin did was done in a timely manner and effectively.
I will use him for future projects when needed. Pros: Service, reliablity, customer
service Cons: None I can think of right now I've used Affordable Handyman Service to do a wide range of repairs in my condo on several occasions and I highly
recommend them. Owner Martin Lorenzo and staff are friendly, polite, knowledgeable and efficient. They have done a great job
on all kinds of work, from painting to plumbing to fixing broken appliances. And they take care with my personal property
and always clean up. Martin is very organized in running his business, following up on phone calls and email, and always following
through on promises. Rates are very reasonable. I've been very pleased with the work done and customer service. Pros:
Polite, knowledgeable, efficient, clean Quick service and on time for appointment. Did excellent job and then I was very suprised by the cost. Even lower
than I had hoped. Besides doing an efficient job he was very polite and consciencious to keep area clean and then in cleaning
up after all the work he did. Available into the evenings for those who work during day and can't get home during the day
to meet up with someone to do work. Will definitely use again for any future jobs.
Description Of Work:
Shower grouting (clean & repair) & toilet installation.
Comments: - Martin
returned our call quickly, accommodated our time frame & appeared on time. He did an amazing job in cleaning & re-grouting
the shower & installing a new toilet. He was very organized, prepared, & took great pains to keep everything clean.
Once the job was completed he cleaned the entire bathroom again, you would never have known he was in there. I clearly explained
the things we needed to do with the new toilet & fully explained his work performed. His cost came in under his estimate
& was a pleasant surprise. He wowed us & we will use him again in the future.

- Martin is very competent, thorough and professional. He does a top-rate
job, leaves your house clean and stands by his work. He is also extremely honest and will tell you if something does not need
to be repaired or if there is an easier or quicker way to repair it.

Comments:
- Excellent. Our basement had flooded. Martin came in gave an estimate of cost and timing and stuck
to both. His craftsmanship was outstanding using creative ideas, when necessary. His skills across multiple categories was
great. Very convenient to have "one stop shopping". I will definitely, use him again.

It was a wonderful experience. Martin was able to help with a wide array of things and pricing was in fact affordable (as
in the name). He worked very quickly and neatly and did a great job - in addition to being an extremely pleasant person to
work with.
How much did the final cost compare to the original estimate? right on

kitchen faucet and installed new one.

- Called on
a Friday - he was able to come out the next day which was a relief because I hate being without water in the kitchen. He gave
me a price range on the phone explaining how much time it might take. He showed up on time, called about 20 minutes before
he arrived. He covered his shoes with booties and went right to work. He actually finished the job on the low end of his estimate,
he had to run out to a local home improvement store to get a part and used a 15% off discount bag in addition to his professional
discount which was very considerate. He was very neat, polite, friendly, and reasonably priced. Would definitely use again.
