"Do not trust Keith elliot and fresh start renovations. Keith started working for us on January 28, 2025. We met him at a coffee shop and told him exactly what the job position entailed. He seemed like a great fit. He said him and his brother owned like 5000 units. Now I question that. He’s very personable. Do not be fooled by him. He is also seems very educated on maintenance and construction projects. I asked him if he knew how to run ductwork for an existing air handler at a house we were selling? He said oh yes, I know how to do it. Keith and Rick his co-worker spent a few days re-running all the duct work. It looked like it was done right. He charged us. $3126.40 for labor & $1098.04 for material. We called a professional license company to hook up the air handler. He came over to give me an estimate on the air handler and said will be more than happy to do this. However, your duct work is completely done wrong. I was in shock I said what do you mean it’s done wrong? He said all the runs are too small. It will not do anything. It’ll never be able to keep up and explained what had to be done. unfortunately, it had to all be redone. I had told this to Keith that it’s all going to have to be redone and that he’s going to have to repay us back for the labor. He agreed that he would pay it back. In hindsight, we should’ve saw the signs. He had excuses when he wouldn’t respond to us for days on end. We have tenants that needed maintenance done that he was ignoring. He also did other maintenance or projects wrong that ended up costing us a lot of money and materials and labor that he charged us for even though it wasn’t done correctly. Our gas fireplace was not working. He put the parts of $550 in it worked for a minute. Then stop working. I asked him if it’s not gonna work then we need to take these parts back. That was a whole another fiasco. They take one part out and take it back to Racine all dirty and the company didn’t want to take it back. I asked him to clean it up and why would he try to return it like that? Then there’s another part once again had to go back to the house take it off and return it. We were charged all this time in labor? We asked him to wrap some pipes in the basement. They wrapped it with some silver aluminum material. It looked really stupid and that was more cost that we couldn’t return the material because it was already used. We send them over to one of our other properties had a water leak going to the downstairs. He said it was a shower. I was getting ready to redo the whole shower. Thank God he didn’t show back up because it wasn’t the shower. It was the roof vent. Early on when he was working for us, we asked him to pick up a Well from Lisbon and install it at one of our properties outside. It’s a front window for the basement. They don’t install it. They just said it next to it for somebody to steal. I’m sure there’s a lot of other issues that we dealt with, but this is just some of them and he only worked for us for a couple months. We have repeatedly tried to resolve this without taking us to the authorities to fall on deaf ears. He would say yes I’m coming over. We would set a time and not show up and now he’s just ignoring our text messages. He has been warned. Unfortunately, now we have to report him and his business to the Better Business Bureau, Angie’s list where we found him and end up having to sue him in court if he doesn’t settle up with us. Like I said, he’s a very nice guy and very personable, but not trustworthy. He not only kept the 60 receipts of ours. He kept our Home Depot card and our master key and I’m gonna call the state of Wisconsin to see if I can file a report for theft of Contractor. Very sad that you can’t trust anybody these days because he seems so trustworthy."

Handyman services FAQs
Handypeople can tackle various home repair and maintenance tasks to keep your home looking and functioning at its best. From adjusting sprinklers and installing air conditioners to repairing roof leaks and refinishing cabinets, they've got you covered. Do you need the awning installed or the stair railings secured? How about fixing doors, repainting rooms, or even hanging holiday lights? A handyperson can handle all these jobs, saving you the hassle of hiring multiple specialists.
A handyperson doesn't perform repairs that require specialized certifications or detailed technical expertise. Critical projects, such as major plumbing installations, electrical rewiring, extensive structural modifications, or tasks that require permits, must be entrusted to licensed contractors. Expanding a stairway, installing a new roof, building a raised deck, or adding a fireplace involves the expertise of professional teams to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.
To save money when hiring a handyperson, a little planning goes a long way. Try to bundle several small tasks together so they can handle everything in one visit. Clear the work area of any obstacles before they arrive—this helps them get started immediately. Don't forget to ask about any discounts for multiple projects or services. These simple steps can make the job more efficient and help reduce the overall cost.
Whether to pay a handyperson a flat rate or an hourly fee depends on your project. For smaller or straightforward tasks, paying by the hour might be more cost-effective. For example, a three-hour job at $75 per hour totals $225, which may be less than a flat rate of $300. For larger projects, a flat rate could save you money. It's best to discuss both options with your handyperson to determine what works best for your situation.
A handyperson doesn't require a tip, as their fees already cover the cost of their expertise and service. If you experience consistently outstanding service and build a durable professional relationship, offering an annual bonus as a gesture of appreciation is acceptable. This bonus is optional and is intended solely to reward exceptional performance throughout the year.
A contractor specializes in complex repair projects and employs a team of licensed professionals, while a handyperson works independently on a wide range of smaller projects. Contractors handle tasks that require permits and specialized skills, whereas handypeople address basic repairs and maintenance that don't demand certification. This clear distinction helps homeowners choose the right professional for each job.
