Ron,
Congratulations to you and your trusty sidekicks!! That is great, and extremely well deserved!!! One thing about the internet, it does allow people to say
the truth about the quality of service that never emerges from company driven surveys or client/customer feedback forms. And, of course the truth really is that Ron Lucchesi’s HandyManCentral is the best around. Don’t retire, yet. We have some more work for you and Daniel.
Cathie and I are pleased to consider you as a friend, too.
Best Regards,
Ken - December 2009
When I began evaluating potential contractors to paint my house in Long Valley, NJ I hadn't heard of Handyman Central Services of Rockaway, New Jersey. It's too bad. Had I known, I would have saved myself a great deal of time.
The company's owner, Ron Lucchesi, came out to discuss what it was that I was looking for. During our walk around, I was impressed. He pointed out instances where repairs were needed that I just had not seen, like the rot on an upper chimney structure and around the bottom of several door frames. He noted nail pops on the garage roof shingle and provided a solution to my pesky porch railing that couldn't hold paint for longer than two years -- replace the wood with solid PVC. From replacing damaged siding to shaping up a crawl space entry way that I had crudely attempted some years before, Ron was flexible to address every request.
The team of Ron, Daniel, John and Julio were uniformly professional, courteous and responsive. What I was especially pleased to see is that Ron looked at my house the way I would have - if I had his experience, talent and professional eye.
The job was finished in September 2009, and I can't thank Angie's list enough for providing me with such a first-rate, professional firm. The finished job was excellent.
Handyman Central Services is not inexpensive. Certainly I had opportunities to go with lower-cost painters. But here's the reason I feel I made the right choice: While I thought I was just getting a painter, instead I got a Partner in taking care of my house's imperfections.
Will I use Handyman Central Services again? In a heartbeat.

Thank you, Ron!
The Service Award you received from that consumer rating site was richly deserved. You sure helped us with my parents house in Morristown. Sold it - just before the market headed downhill - for more than the asking price. Thanks again and congratulations.

Ron -
I know you did a great job for Mel. We saw him in Florida last week and he's doing well. Happy Healthy New Year!!

Dear Ron,
I want to thank you for the ceiling replacement project Handyman Central did in our office. To look at the outcome, no one would ever know how very difficult and challenging the project was. Your meticulous attention to detail gave us a result that was beyond our expectations. You and your men demonstrated professionalism every step of the way, from your careful planning of the job through execution and fastidious cleanup. It was a tricky and tedious job -- with many potential frustrations, but you negotiated every twist and turn with aplomb! It was a pleasure working with you and we look forward to doing so again.

Hi Ron,
I left you a voice mail message last evening after the open house; I guess that you have not received it yet.
The ceiling looked fantastic - it is impossible to tell that any work was done. The open house was good; 27 families came through. What was great was the things that they never mentioned; ...the ceiling, the basement wall, the bathroom vanity, the banister railing, the front porch!!!
Thank you again for help and the responsiveness and quickness of your work. It is greatly appreciated.

Dear Ron,
"Please accept my thanks and gratitude for all of the topnotch quality work accomplished at my mother's house in preparation for it's impending sale. The sheetrock repair, surface preparation, taping, caulking, and painting were done in the most professional way possible. And the kitchen sink cabinet base was fixed perfectly!
What impressed me the most were all the little extra touches you performed just because you saw they were needed - not from any requests by me or mom. I really appreciated your extra consideration because of the long commute to mom's house for me."
"I especially noticed the very kind and considerate manner in which you interacted with my mother. Her anxiety from getting her house ready for sale was greatly relieved by your empathetic demeanor. Thanks so much!"
"Finally - thank you for being so prompt and reliable and fair with price quotes, work dates and punctuality. All that you did was accomplished quickly and efficiently. Please feel free to use this letter in any manner which you may choose.
I heartily endorse Handyman Central without reservation for household work lists which must be accomplished. Trustworthy company no doubt! I wish you were located down here in Monmouth County so I could use you myself. Enjoy your vacation and we may be contacting you again should additional work be needed."
Sincerely,
Thomas P.
Superintendent of Schools
