Midtown Handyman & Remodeling / Discount Home Repair

I got a job that required me to move cross-country FAST. I hadn’t been planning on selling my home, so it needed plenty of repairs. The list only grew thanks to the POS inspection. My realtor recommended I work with Mike for three reasons: (1) he does top-quality work, (2) he does it at a reasonable price, and (3) he’s an honest businessman.

Mike was all that and MUCH more. We ran into several unexpected issues during the process of selling my house — some hilarious, others horrifying — and he never once left me hanging. Quite the opposite: he and his team got jobs done at record speed, and he attended every home inspection on my behalf (I was already in another state) just to make sure everything went off without a hitch.

A couple weeks before closing, an inspector discovered a **massive** plumbing issue that had been concealed and passed on to me by a previous owner. Mike was so appalled by what he saw that he fixed it at cost. That’s the kind of businessman Mike is: he genuinely cares about his clients. He earned every penny I gave him, and I’ve already recommended him to multiple colleagues. 10/10, folks. Would recommend.

Matt is a true professional. Not only will he complete the job in a timely manner, but he also shares his experience with my team. This is an awesome company that does outstanding work without the expensive prices. Thanks Matt!

I called Midtown Handyman - Discount Home Repair because I was interested in having some work done in my home (some minor electrical and plumbing repairs, and some drywall and painting). They were quick to respond and were detailed in explaining how they would complete the repairs. They were extremely professional and had the work done in a timely manner. I was so pleased with the work, I have them coming back out to help me remodel my home office space.

I've worked with many contractors on my Shaker Heights home but NONE of them even compare to the work ethic, efficiency and professionalism of Midtown. I trusted them to work on their own, keep in touch, and update me throughout the 4 days of their work. When something came up (and several things did - it's an old Shaker classic), they just handled it. With perseverance, creativity, and attention to detail, they just got it done, no matter what it was. I'd use them again without hesitation, and highly recommend them.

My repairs: extensive plaster work, installing attic fan, repairing doors.

We called Midtown Handyman and Remodeling to work on some carpentry and painting for us. They hand the best price of all the quotes we received. The work
was better than expected and they were very clean! We will use them again.

I had a list of City violations that the city inspector had sent me in regards to my property. I contacted several companies which declined the work saying that these items are too small for them to bother. I contacted Midtown/Discount Repair and they were more than happy to come out. They gave me a quotes on all my violations which included carpentry, painting and some electrical. These guys did a fantastic job and completing the repairs. I am very happy with the work and would recommend these guys for this type of handyman repairs.

Needed a ton of city violations repaired on a rental property I called to make an appointment they came out the next day and gave me a detailed cost estimate. These contractors did a great job very fast completion time they delt with the city inspector to make sure all violations passed. We are very satisfied with the whole process would definitely recommend these contractors.

2019 review Mike's work ethic, reliability and professionalism went downhill in 2019. I suspected that there were issues because projects were taking a long time. I offered to get him help. He said no. Basically my properties deteriorated over the last 8 months. Necessary repairs were not completed. Tenants were living with sewage in the basement, holes in the ceiling from plumbing issues upstairs, electricity not working and the list goes on. In addition Mike owes me money from rents that he collected. He does not have the funds to pay me back. Guess what, he used my trust fund money for other purposes. I have a law suit in progress.

2017 review 5 stars. I have used Midtown Handyman for several rental properties over the last 1 1/2 years. I have not seen any of the properties that I purchased, so put a lot of trust in them. I could not have been more pleased with the professionalism, quality of work and pricing. Mike has now become my property manager for these properties as well. Midtown treats my properties as if they were their own. I plan to use Midtown Handyman for as long as I own these properties.

I needed some repairs done to my home before the Easter Holiday as I was having guests over and a friend of mine recommended Midtown Handyman & Remodeling. I called them to have some work done in my living room and to upgrade my bathroom. They did a great job in my living room and exceeded my expectations in the bathroom. I received several compliments from my guests and referred Midtown to a few of my guests as well. They were very courteous and professional and I will certainly use them in the future.

Last summer we hired Midtown Handyman & Remodeling to remodel our small bathroom. We would never recommend them to anyone! What was supposed to be a 2-1/2 week job went into 4 weeks, and because of a time crunch for them to finish, Mike promised us that he would return to fix the many issues (numerous uneven tiles/walls, broken tile, un-grouted & un-caulked areas). We spent extra on marble tile to frame a window which they put on top of other tile, needless to say sagged and is very uneven (which he saw before leaving the job). We have tried contacting Mike since February (email, phone calls, texts) with no response from him at all. We trusted Mike to his word and now are very disappointed not only of the (amateur looking) finished job, but in him as well. Instead of being able to enjoy our new bathroom, we now have to hire a professional contractor to fix the many issues at additional cost to us.
