Review for Handyman Direct

Review for Handyman Direct

My experience with Handyman Direct has been genuinely positive and worth sharing. From the start, the company showed professionalism, reliability, and a clear commitment to delivering quality workmanship. Every interaction felt transparent and honest — they explained what needed to be done, kept me updated throughout the process, and made sure the final results met my expectations.

What stood out most was their strong work ethic and attention to detail. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and showed respect for my space. It’s rare to find a service provider that combines skill with great customer care, but Handyman Direct truly managed to do both.

Beyond my own experience, it’s clear the company also contributes positively to economic growth. By creating job opportunities, supporting local suppliers, and offering dependable services that homeowners and businesses can trust, Handyman Direct plays an important role in strengthening the local economy. Their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction not only benefits individual clients but also builds confidence in small businesses within the community.

Overall, I highly recommend Handyman Direct. They’ve earned my trust through their honesty, professionalism, and the value they bring — both to their customers and to the broader economy.

Quick response and resolved our issue in one day, despite multiple journeys to hardware stores to get the right parts. Quite literally went to the ends of the earth for us.

They helped us in a short space of time, with a trustful and reliable contractor, when nobody else was willing to go the extra mile. Much appreciated.

DuraBern Electrical Damages Property

I paid Duran (DuraBern Electrical, a previous contractor of Handyman Direct) a total of R7k for work to my apartments.

Instead of doing the job on his own he employed someone else to do the job. He mentioned that this person had "begged him for work". This person damaged my ceiling drastically, broke the toilet seat and did a horribly untidy job.

Duran has walked away with the R7k and refuses to pay it back to me. He cannot prove how he has spent the money.

Part of the work he was supposed to perform is the reinstallation of new blinds. He could not provide any proof that blinds were purchased and has no record of any of his costs whatsoever ( I have asked numerous times and not a single receipt has been provided to date).

Upon inspection, I could see that no other work as promised by Duran had been done either. He enters rants about God when questioned.

We have entered litigation. Duran will be issued with a letter of demand and reported to the NHBRC & Consumer Protection Act council. He has been blocked from the Handyman Direct platform that promotes his business.

I advise customers not to do business with this highly unprofessional, unethical business.

Victor Vilankulu handyman

Victor was a pleasure to work with...he knows what he is doing. His team were hardworking, honest and pleasant to have around. Victor replaced ceiling boards in two bedrooms, redid trusses in the roof outside and put up facia boards.
This was all done in a day and a half. I would recommend him to anybody seeking a good allrounder. Rates were good as well which makes the experience even more satisfying.

Vincent went to a great deal of trouble to repair an ongoing issue which arose from a shoddy installation by another company. His charge for the work done and the trouble taken was very reasonable. He hads also guaranteed the work done, and promised to come back for any issues that might arise. This speaks to his confidence that there would be no comeback.

I recently needed an electrician to install a new stove in home. I was connected to Munyai who made contact immediately and booked the job.

He was efficient, friendly and professional at all time. He listened to me carfeully, explained the process plus his qualification for it thoroughly. Most importantly he made an effort to be reasonable and within budget (unlike the previous electrician, Joe ,who had called for the job. What a rude, bully)

Thank you Munyai

Such a great platform to find the right guy for the job!

I am usually scared to make use of sites like this, but this has been such a pleasant experience. I was in need of someone to help with some odd jobs we can't do ourselves, and posted the job on handymandirect, within 20 minutes two contractors contacted me and the first one came out to assess and quote. He came back the next day to do the job and it was so professional, quick and easy to deal with. There is also admin support who followed up to make sure that I found someone to help which I think is really helpful. Would recommend and make use of this service again!
