Ratings and reviews

My cleaning pros have ranged from good to excellent. There have been times (twice in June and three times in July) when handy could not find a pro to fulfill my service request, even with two weeks advance notice. Then handy deflects responsibility, claiming "a last-minute pro call off " when they had no one assigned to me in the first place. I like the idea of the app, but the company is unreliable. It's most inconvenient for me to get all ready for a housecleaning, then have it rescheduled.

I wish I could give it less then a one star review. If you cancel a cleaning they charge you the cost of the cleaning. The kicker is though you can't use that credit towards your next scheduled cleaning you must schedule a one time cleaning. But in order to do that you need to cancel your scheduled cleaning which just adds more credits to your account. You can try to reschedule your appointment but every time I have tried Handy ignores my times and books it for 2-3 hours before I scheduled it. Causing me to miss an appointment or two and I get to pay for it thanks to Handy's incompetency. Handy is terrible at reminding you of upcoming services. Some times I didn't even receive a notification of an upcoming appointment. Their 'pros' are not very good. I've only been happy with one that I have gotten. The rest either show up late or only stay for an hour. Overall extremely less then enthused with their service.

Service is hit or miss. Sometimes the pros are good, and most times not so much. Also the way they bill you is very suspicious. After your term is over with, ie 6 months, they automatically keep you in without your knowledge. For this time, they only notify you of the booking the day of, so If you cancel the service then, they charge the full amount as a cancellation fee. Really shady business practices. I would not recommend them to anyone.
