"My husband had total hip replacement surgery and the hospital would not release him until we had a ramp or hand rails at our home. Our only son is out of state serving active duty with the US Air Force and I had no idea who to call or what to do. I said a short prayer before I called Handymen R Us and knew I would find an answer. I called on Tuesday morning and spoke with Vic Vickers. He was compassionate and gave me clear options of what could be done. Within 30 minutes Jacob was at my home taking measurements and I had a firm quote within 45 minutes of my phone call. The ramp was completed when I came home with my husband the next day on Wednesday! Handymen R Us did what they said they would do, in the time limit we had agreed on and at the price they had quoted me. A company is only as good as their word. It is a joy to have found a company that I trust and can recommend to my friends." Pam Stottman
"Vic, I just want you to know how pleased we are of the remodeling job. We have had several compliments already. I like all of it, but I think I like the tile backsplash best of all. Thanks to you and all your hard work, you have a very pleased customer."
Wanda and JT
"Vic, I appreciate your fairness and honesty so much. You have always treated me fairly and always been good at your word. Being a single woman, I really appreciate you. I know I can call on you anytime and be treated with respect and honesty.
Thank you so much,"
Jean Bevers
"I asked Handymen R Us to give me an estimate and then we scheduled a date for work. There was no problem scheduling. Other fencing companies I called didn't even bother to call me back. It is always nice to interact with a business working on your property that is curtious, pleasant, and respectful. All of the men I interacted with were just that. They did not even mind me hanging around while they worked. To complete the work the day after they set the poles they even worked in the rain. I had already purchased the panels and poles. This was not a problem for the crew. The quality of work this company does is fabulous and the interaction with all working on the project was great. I would certainly use this company again" Kim
"Thank you for such a great job. God always puts his people together in a time of need. I have older friends that need work done by someone they can trust. I will highly recommend you. Thanks again."
Martha
"I used Handymen R Us to replace exterior siding that was water damaged. They primed both sides instead of just one. Very polite and quick. The paint I bought didn't exactly match because the existing paint was now sun bleached, but he feathered into the old paint so it doesn't show. He caulked where the builder didn't. I'm very happy with the work, in fact, I got more than my money's worth." Denise
" I requested a quote from several other vendors before I was able to get anybody to come out. Vic was prompt, personable and professional. I would recommend the company and their work. The final price was right on the original estimate and I got exactly what I paid for." Robin

"From start to finish, I was overwhelmed with the professionalism that I encountered with this company. I have found that it is rare to find a
construction company that does such a great job of taking care of the customer's needs. I had gotten four bids for this deck before I found this company on Angie's List and was delighted that I found
these guys before committing to one of these other companies. I dealt with two different people on this project, Vic and Billy. Billy came out to estimate the job and was more than happy to work with
me on scheduling a time to meet me. He was very professional and extremely helpful. He always showed up on time and he actually completed the project quicker than what he thought it would be
completed. The one problem that we had was that the Call-before-you-dig service (OKIE B-4 You Dig) did not show up when they said they would, so construction didn't begin on the day that it was
supposed to. I had absolutely no problem with this as it was completely out of everyone's control. Even after this minor setback, the job was completed early and with exceptional quality. I am very
impressed with these guys and will definitely recommend them to my friends and use them in the future for any other projects (which are many) that I have. Just remember, they will do anything except
roofing. "

Again, the tile was extended to the ceiling and the shower floor was appropriately sloped with non-slip tile. An extra-tall glass wall and door were custom-made for shower.

"We are a military family, stationed out-of-state, who plan to eventually retire back to an older house we
have in Midwest City. The original house was built in 1955, with a garage conversion done at a latter date (1960's or 1970's) and a master suite addition built in 1993. We had
kept the house rented out for the last eleven years and it was in serious need of renovation, partly due to age, partly due to renter damage/neglect.
Since we don't live in the area, and my husband is currently deployed overseas, I needed to find an honest, good contractor who could handle all the extensive and varied work that needed to be done. Based on Angie's List recommendations, I contacted Vic Vickers and arranged to meet him at the house last April to discuss the project. I was very impressed with Vic from the first and, as he assured me he could handle it all as a general contractor, I accepted his bid and didn't interview anyone else. My renters moved out on June 30th and Vic's guys began their work on July 5th, completing it on Sept. 2nd. Vic's primary crew consisted of Jacob (crew leader) and Chance-- two young men who I found to be absolutely wonderful. They were always friendly, cheerful, and personable. They are honest, hard working and polite. They worked on the project most weekdays for nine weeks. On the days they weren't there, it was usually to do work for some of Vic's other customers, as they are very much in demand. On days that they needed extra hands, they brought in additional guys. As other Angie's List members have stated, they were very good to clean up the work site at the end of each day. My three children, two large dogs and myself stayed in the master suite while all the work was going on. The guys were really good about consulting me about everything, whether it was a problem that they had run into, or about details like where I wanted light fixtures placed. On the rare occasion that I found something done that I was less than satisfied with, they corrected it willingly and immediately. They offered some really good suggestions for some improvements and were very receptive to my own ideas. They were really tremendous and very knowledgable and skilled. Some of the work was subcontracted out like the fencing, the driveway and sidewalk, the hardwood floor repair and refinishing, most of the electrical, and the cabinetry and countertops. Vic uses excellent subcontractors. Vic's own guys did all the demo, construction, plumbing (including installing the tankless hot water heater and whirlpool tub), tile work, wall and ceiling repair, doors, trim, hanging of light fixtures, wall texturing, etc. I have to mention that the extensive tile work was especially nice and Jacob has a real designer's eye for it. Vic Vickers has proven himself to be a man of integrity and as knowledgable and honest as they come. I cannot say enough nice things about him and his crew! They turned my house around and made it into what is probably the nicest house in the entire neighborhood. The project by nature was stressful, but they did everything that could be done to reduce that stress and left me more than satisfied, feeling that I definitely got my money's worth and that our home investment has been both preserved and improved." |
