After receiving 3 quotes for work around my home, I selected Rick Bennett of Fix It Atlanta. Rick presented the highest quote, however, I based my choice on his in depth explanation of what he would do to achieve the look I wanted and to fix the problems I had. We did have a difference of opinion on one matter and after hearing my input he changed the plan. He's easy to work with and members of his crew are knowledgeable. I'm very pleased with his work, his courtesy, as well as that of his crew, and their talents. He always called to let me know when he would be at the house and that meant a lot. Plus they did an excellent clean up after wards. I highly recommend Rick of Fix It Atlanta.

They seem to care about how things turn out and want a good relationship with their clients. They fixed a rotten door jam, painted, changed out a lighting fixture and patched a wall. All of the work looks good and the estimate was accurate. They were also professional and focused. We have hired a number of handymen and this was our best experience.

I found Rick on Kudzu.com. What luck for me! He gave me a quote for needed repairs and was very reasonable. He and his team fixed broken tiles, painted and made minor repairs. He did a great job on everything. He is responsive and reliable. Even the man in the nearby paint store told me I found a "good guy".

Rick recently did a variety of work for us including roofing repairs, electrical work. He was quick to schedule, on time and friendly. Would definitely recommend. Thanks!

Rick has performed several small jobs at my home and we have been very please with his work. His prices are reasonable and he does what he says he is going to do.

Rick did some work for me on a property I was about to rent. He showed up, gave me a quote and finished the work in less than half the time he estimated. Will definitely do business with him again.

Rick is amazing, and we're already thinking up other jobs for him! He answered phone and email promptly, arrived at appointments on time or called when he was running late, and gave us a really reasonable estimate on costs. When work began and he discovered it would take more time and materials than the estimate, he did the work at the price he quoted instead of screwing us half way through the job. He even took photos so we could see the progress while his crew worked when we weren't home. He answered all our dumb questions in great detail, so we learned about our house and about the repairs. He always had a positive and professional attitude, treated us with respect and gave us the relevant info we sometimes didn't even know we should've asked for. We will never look for another contractor again! In ten years, our house will be a product of Rick Bennett and Fix It Atlanta from top to bottom!

Rick Bennett was referred to me a little over a year ago by a friend. Since that time, his team has fixed numerous projects for my home and rental properties to perfection. As an owner of a residential cleaning company, I constantly receive calls from customers asking for various services or recommendations. Within the past 6 months we have referred Rick to our customers no less than 30 times and we have always received exceptional feedback. He is now an invaluable member of our recommended service provider network. The feedback we consistently receive is how pleasant he is to deal with, how fair he is and how he takes the time to listen and get the exact customer vision before taking action. He is also a very ethical person and will always point out the most cost effective solution for the client.

I was introduced to Rick and ultimately hired him in the fall of 2012. He was highly recommended by a good friend and neighbor. I hired Rick to renovate my master bathroom, replace the tile in my guest bathroom, and install lighting under my kitchen cabinets. I am pleased to say that he was within 10 percent of his original estimate. The reason for the overage had nothing to do with his estimate, but with unforeseen circumstances that were discovered once we started demolition. Rick is an honest man, and will stand behind his work. As with any renovation work, it is imperative that you remain flexible with your budget as well as your schedule and manage your expectations accordingly. I will continue to use Rick going forward for my "honey do" list. If you are looking for an honest and professional handy man look no further.

Rick and his crew completed my basement framing Nov/Dec. 2013 and did an excellent job. Although my remodel has slowed, I smile every time I look at the framing for the trey ceiling and other details. They are professionals and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

GREAT job on staining our deck. On time, very professional & I didn't have to worry about anything!

Rick and the guys do great work! Had them do a little bit of everything for us. Good communication, show up when they say they will, do what they say they will. We are extremely happy with the quality of the work. Rick and the guys are very nice, too. We will definitely use them in the future, and recommend them to folks.
cejhome
Love rick! He did such a great job with repairing my bathroom. He was really helpful and very nice!
ChristoffR
Great work at a great price. Rick was great to work with, not only was he honest in his assessment, but his quality of work is miles ahead of the competition. His rates were also very affordable and was below the 4 other competitors' quotes. I would definitely call Rick for more work on the house!
peteinatlanta123
I had Rick and his crew install a new faucet in my upstairs bathroom. He was quick, reasonable, and gave me a fair estimate before doing the work (while also letting me know under what conditions labor or parts costs might go up). I appreciate the job well done and will definitely use Fix-It Atlanta in the future. Thanks!
jbergeron
I had these guys remodel half my house. The prices were reasonable and the quality was great. Real nice guys...easy to work with. They have done work for quite a few of my friends as well and my friends gave the same kind of feedback. So, I would highly recommend them.
Sean B
Reliable, responsive and priced right. A friend referred Rick to me last Spring when a tree took down our power lines ripping the "tower" right off our roof, damaging the roof and side of the house. He responded quickly and offered several options for ways to do the repair. He and his helper were respectful and tidy with the cleanup. I would certainly use them again for small and bigger jobs.

I had some wooden stairs that go up to my front door and entrance. I hired Fix It Atlanta to tear down my old steps and put up a new set with a more solid foundation. They operated like a military machine. They even drew up the plans for before starting. They performed the job flawlessly. I really liked how pleasant they were to deal with and how they requested a final review and feedback before asking final payment. Since then I've contracted them for larger home improvement projects and have been very satisfied.

Rick and his team built a screened in porch for us last year. We LOVE the space and get compliments on it all the time! Rick went above and beyond to make sure we got the best quality porch. And, his price was much lower than other groups that gave us a quote. I had some lofty ideas for the screened porch, and Rick worked with me to ensure that my vision of the space came to life. He was honest and upfront throughout the entire project. We were only a couple hundred dollars over budget BUT that is because I changed a few major things half way through! He worked diligently to keep my changes in line with the original quote. His crew was professional and hard working. If you are looking for solid, quality craftsmanship at a good price, you have found the right team!
Anjbow
Well I would probably start by saying that Rick and his crew proved that every horror story you hear about contractors can be wrong. They were on time, worked well beyond normal hours due to winter weather issues so that I would not be inconvenienced, and did an excellent job. They painted the entire interior of my condo, including the horrible job of scraping off the popcorn ceiling and refinishing and painting. They also did a few minor repair jobs for me such as replacing a lighting fixture, replacing sliding doors and fixing a leaky toilet. I could not recommend them more. They were on the higher side of the estimates I received but it was well worth it to have everything done right and timely.

Rick Bennett was referred to me by several of my friends, and he's a fantastic resource for all types of home improvements and renovations. He was a pleasure to work with - he is communicative, and he does what he says he will do when he says he will do it. He is reasonably priced, and he and his team are very skilled, knowledgeable and hard working. I thoroughly enjoyed our experience working with Rick, and I'm happy to be a reference at any time.
Swiet411
I have a condo in Atlanta, but live in Florida. I came for an initial meeting, left a key with Rick and told him to let me know when to come back to see my renovated condo. Within the estimated time, and after Rick shopped around all the materials, appliances, paint,, cabinets, flooring, and all the labor, etc. I came back, viewed the results and was VERY pleased! He came within the estimate, shopped around for the best deals on fixtures, cabinets' price, etc. WOW! He is honest and he goes above and beyond. I wish I had met him sooner!
kaseyfeller67
Top Notch Professional! Rick Bennett and his team recently helped me prepare my house to go on the market. Because of their knowledge and professional work I am 100% confident my house will sell in record time. My only regret is not calling "Fix it Atlanta" sooner so I could enjoy the benefits of their labor! Rick is very kind and fun to talk to but he gets right down to business when he arrives. His team worked diligently all day to finish the projects in my house. No doubt, I will be calling him again!
Karen S.
Dependable! Rick Bennett and his guys are great. They did several projects for us - both large and small from building a shelving unit to installing a cedar fence that required extensive site preparation. Rick is honest and dependable and pays attention to every detail; the crew is honest and they keep the work site as clean as possible - everything is neat and tidy when they leave. One of the things I like best about Rick is that he will look around your home and let you know if sees something that might potentially become a problem. You know that he is looking out for you, not trying to get another job for himself.
ronnie209
Rick Bennett and his crew have worked on many projects for my home and my mother's condo. The projects have included, finishing a 1000 square foot basement, framing, sheetrock, electrical wiring, dropped ceiling and lighting, built a large walk-in closet, shelving, carpet installation, flooring, ceiling fan installations, painting, and various other home projects. We have always found him to be dependable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and skilled at his profession. We would recommend him to anyone.

Rick and his team took a bathroom that was from the '60s and turned it into a modern showcase. From the tile work, paint and framing they did a great job!
HES30319
Extremely talented and efficient! Fix It Atlanta installed an extensive privacy fence around our pool. I can't begin to tell you how satisfied I was with the job they did. Rick is a perfectionist who is esteemed for his honesty and professionalism. Our experience with this company was a positive one and we would highly recommend them to anyone! Great job Fix It Atlanta, we look forward to doing business with you again in the future!
Marissa P.
I live in Florida and my condo that rick renovated is in Atlanta. after an initial meeting, I gave the key to rick and told him to call me when all was done. within the estimated time frame and dollars estimate, I returned. WONDERFUL! everything was done as we'd discussed initially, later by phone, and later by e-mail. he made every effort to find the best deals on appliances, fixtures, carpet, labor, etc. he always kept in touch and went far and beyond. He was honest and kept in touch almost daily. I wish I had met him earlier!
edel99
Rick has completed two jobs for us in the past year. I would highly recommend Rick as efficient, neat, and he completed each job just as he estimated. He repaired a roof on an outdoor workshop that now stays nice and dry when it rains. He repaired and painted our deck and front porch. He and his workers are professional and very friendly and I would definitely use them again.
BamaFan68
Rick has done several jobs for me over the past 6 months at my Smyrna condo, including plumbing connections for a new sink, installing a backsplash in my kitchen and replacing the weatherstripping on my doors. All of the jobs were completed with quality workmanship and at a competitive rate. I will definitely call Rick in the future when I need a handyman.

We were in need of a contractor to fix our deck. Rick came to inspect the deck promptly and gave us a quote. He appeared to be sincere and honest. His price was in a middle ranking; definitely not the cheapest. However, he was thorough in analyzing and examining the problems (we had several contractors came to assess the project, but he was the only one who crawled under the deck to investigate whether there were any hidden structural defects). We presumed that as a result of his in-depth analysis, we would be offered a more accurate estimation, and with no surprises during construction of the deck. We selected Fix It Atlanta based on the following criteria: We want a good quality job without breaking our bank. We did not want a big surprise along the way causing the price of the project escalate beyond the original estimate. Finally, Rick and his crew would be the ones who complete the deck, not a subcontractor (some contractors will subcontract the job when they are too busy and/or do not pose a specialty in handling the job). We were not disappointed! Rick and his crews met our expectations. They were hard working people that took pride in their workmanship, and cleaned up the site neatly after completing the deck .They were responsible, reliable, and very easy to work with. Rick would call periodically to give us an update on the progress, or to get back with us when we had a question.

In these times when it can be difficult to consistently find trustworthy, high quality, reasonably priced work, we have been able to literally turn over the keys to Rick Bennett, knowing we will be more than pleased with his work and that he will continue to stand by his work as time goes on. From readying a condo for resale, to fixing a roof damaged by branches, to plumbing repairs of all types, to updating a woodworking workshop, to doing extensive addition/remodeling work, Rick has been there for us through it all meeting and exceeding our expectations. For our latest project, we did not even consider asking anyone but Rick to work with us. We knew he had the creativity as well as the strong management skills to bring our vision to reality. And this was no small deed. This last project was an extensive addition to and remodel of our existing 50+ year brick ranch home to provide a fully handicap accessible home for my aging parents, as well as, update the existing master bedroom and broom closet-sized bath into a luxurious master bedroom/bathroom suite with walk-in closet, turn an unfinished deck into an oversized screened-in porch with panoramic view, and redesign a plain backyard into one with curving sidewalks and creative landscaping to provide both beauty as well as practical, handicap accessibility to our porch and home. When we have a "handyman" need - actually, when we have any home project that is beyond our ability to do ourselves, we call Rick.

Found the best! Rick came out to do an estimate on redoing my Master bathroom. Immediately I knew that I would be accepting his estimate before I had even seen the price. He was very professional and very knowledgeable. He gave a fair estimate and started soon after. Throughout the process he was upfront, honest and I could not be more pleased with the job him and his crew did. They exceeded any expectations I may have had! Fix It Atlanta will be the ones I call from now on!
Gstroopleader6
I've used Rick & Fix it Atlanta for years on little jobs around the house. He's always very professional and does an excellent job. I fully trust him to do a quality job and that's why he is the first person I call when I need something done.
gbruyn
Rick and his team are AMAZING! I really can't say enough good things about them. They did quality work and very affordable. They were dependable and courteous and went above and beyond to do our repairs. I will be using them again in the future no doubt and passing his card onto others! Wouldn't use anyone else!
maq1019
I called Rick based on all the previous reviews and I'm so glad I did. He and his crew replaced an upstairs bathroom subfloor, leveled the floor, replaced tub and shower faucet, moved plumbing from the floor to the wall and replaced outside faucets. They are the very best! I can't say enough good things about how awesome the complete work turned out. They're honest, dependable, price competitive, and even offered free advice on DIY projects that I have planned.
LShepard
Quality and care that is rare. Rick has worked with us on a wide range of projects in recent years. Rick (and his crew) delivers a rare combination of fair pricing, a great, caring attitude, and solid experience that shows in his quality solutions and craftsmanship. Whether it's an emergency or non-emergency, we know we will have peace of mind with Rick handling the situation.
word544
We are so glad to have found our handyman! Courteous & professional service, all work completed to our satisfaction, good communication, reasonable prices, punctual, & cleaned up afterwards! We shall certainly use them again.

Very professional , on time , honest , reasonable prices , he fixed a fence that was broken and did some work inside of the house as well , will use again for sure.
edulindo
In my household of four (two of which are handicapped and the other elderly), we consider finding Rick a Godsend. Whatever we need done -- no matter how big or small the job (painting, seamlessly extending a wood fence, installing a faucet, laying carpet squares, putting in a dog door, building a ramp, hanging window blinds, etc.) -- he is always there with excellent service, great prices, and a friendly attitude. He and his team are the kind of professionals that I feel confident just leaving a key for and KNOWING the job will be done right! Thanks, Rick!

Fix it Atlanta made multiple repairs on my rental property. They were, prompt, reasonably priced and performed quality work. I plan to use them again in the future. Very reliable.
MariettaHomeowner10
They come no better. Have used this company for 4 years now and their work and craftsmanship are always above par. Recently used for a big remodel after a flood and they came in and took care of us as well as our remodel. Had to redo floors, ceilings, fixtures, paint. It was a mess and Rick responded immediately to our dilemma. It is beautiful and now I have more projects in mind. Reliable, great value, excellent work. Thank you guys!

Rick has been doing odd jobs for me for some time but recently completed a bathroom renovation for me that caused many problems due to the age of the property. Rick is a genius! He came up with solutions so everything works perfectly. I would HIGHLY recommend him and his crew. The price is always fair, he is always on time, calls back promptly, does not leave a mess, asks a lot of questions so he knows exactly what you want and he knows how to do everything. He does quality work and does not try to cut corners. I cannot say enough good things about him and will be calling him back to do another project for me in the next few months. Trust me - you won't be disappointed!
Bernard123
Great discovery! We were referred to Rick of Fix It Atlanta by someone we trust. I thought we'd be happy with the work, but we were MORE than happy. Rick came to give an estimate on oiling our IPE deck, on staining a walkway, and on painting a white fence. He researched the best way to treat the Brazilian wood, he suggested hand rolling the entire deck, deck, steps, and trim. He brought samples of color choices back out for us to choose. He told us he'd hand paint the fence so it would last longer than the one year spray job had. We were impressed with his professionalism and liked him saying he operated on the policy of "There's no reason to do something if you are not going to do it right." He and his great crew arrived on time and stayed late to complete the big job in one day. Everything looks wonderful. We are very, very pleased and will certainly call him again for other work.
lkdhuyvetter
Great handyman, great service. Rick has done several jobs around our house for us. Rick is a great handyman very informative. He will explain with full detail what he is going to do and give you a very reasonable price great quality. Would highly recommend and will certainly use again.

My wife and I have used Rick for every project that we have had since we have owned our house. He is a rare breed these days. He works hard, does a great job, and most of all is honest. I would highly recommend that you use him if you have projects.
CWE2000
Found this handyman company through a flyer from my cleaners (Amazon Cleaners) whom I have been with for a while now, so I knew I could trust them to do a good job when I need a minor repair done around the house.

Will definitely be using Fix It Altanta again! Rick came by, and was very professional and efficient. No surprises, and were very reasonable with pricing. Thank you for the wonderful service!

Best handyman out there! I can't say enough great things about Rick and Fix It Atlanta. We have used them for everything from painting (our kitchen cabinets, sunroom, living room, dining room, foyer and hallway) to small repairs (loose flagstone, broken lightbulbs etc), to installing our porch swing. We've had nothing but good experiences and I would hire Rick and his crew to do anything around our house! They are always the first ones I call. On top of being an excellent handyman, you won't meet a nicer guy! And finally, his pricing is very fair and reasonable. What more could you want?!
lktinatl
We used Rick again to paint our house this time - and he came in under budget and 3 days less than initially proposed - and it even rained one day. These guys work hard and charge a very fair price.

We worked with Rick to fix up a rental home in the Smyrna area. Rick was very responsive, did exactly what he said he was going to do, and was a great value. I would recommend him to anyone!
sondak
I have used Rick for a couple of jobs and would highly recommend his service. He came in on a short notice and performed some finish carpentry and electrical work at my business. I was extremely happy with the results and feel I received a very fair value for my dollar. I will continue to call on him whenever I need his help in the future
mona1234
Rick is very responsive, reliable, trustworthy, and he does great work -efficiently and for a very reasonable price. He has done many projects and repairs for us, including brick work, painting, resurfacing our deck, repairing our garage door, and much more. He is wonderful to work with and I highly recommend him.

Rick (and his crew) recently replaced the siding on my townhouse. He came to my house, examined all the siding and gave me estimates on cost to fix it either in parts or all at once, and the cost of different materials. After discussing, I decided to have all of it replaced with Hardi-Plank and Rick gave me a quote under what someone else had given me a year previously. He and his team did the job very professionally, replacing the few spots of rotten wood that they found and installing the new siding very securely so there would be no leakage in the future. They then repainted all of it, including the trim, and it looks beautiful. Throughout the process, he always kept me advised as to their timing and what was going on. And, he charged me the quoted price. I really couldn't be happier. Rick is very comfortable to work with and I always felt I could trust him. I'll always call him in the future for anything that needs doing. You can't go wrong with hiring him!
pwhobrey
I had Rick and his team repair a structural problem with my kitchen floor (floor was sagging about 2 inches in the middle) and install travertine tile. The quality of both the structural work and the tile was superb. You could drive a tank across the floor now and it wouldn't budge! Rick will always be my first call when I need anything done to the house.

Fix It Atlanta is the most professional, honest, and hard working company I have come across for help with my rental property. They were prompt on meeting me and finished the projects within days instead of weeks. They were very competitive with their pricing which helped my bottom line being a rental home. In addition, my tenant and family really were impressed with the quality of work, and professionalism of the team members while working around the house. All I can say is at last I have someone I can count on when it comes to helping me out knowing Fix It Atlanta will respond and produce excellent work!
Weisertimothy
I had these guys remodel half my house. The prices were reasonable and the quality was great. Real nice guys...easy to work with. They've done work for quite a few of my friends as well and my friends gave the same kind of feedback. So, I'd highly recommend them.
sbuchanan
Rick and his crew just finished a variety of work on my townhouse to help prepare it for sale. They did exterior and interior painting, plumbing and a variety of small repairs. Pricing was not the cheapest but very fair for the high quality of the work. Rick is a good collaborator before and during your project and won't talk you into doing unnecessary work. The guys on Rick's crew were also very professional, friendly helpful. One of the most important things when working with any contractor is communication and Rick always answered calls or texts and got right back to you when you needed him. We're planning on doing some exterior work on our own home in the near future and Fix-it-Atlanta will be at the top of our list.

I needed a reliable contractor for some minor repairs at my home. Rick Bennett was highly recommended by a friend and I echo her recommendation. Rick was on-time, did high quality work and delivered thoroughly professional service. He is now my "go to" guy.
LeanneF
Rick's team did a wonderful job replacing deck boards and handrais on my deck. I was concerned about whether it would look good since the pickets (vertical boards that hold up the handrails) weren't being replaced but they blended the new wood and old wood well so it looked great and not like I was too cheap to replace the entire deck. I also appreciated how Rick's team was able to get the job done without having to disturb my new tenants who also commented on how nice the "new deck" looks. Rick's team also did a wonderful job replacing my front door. It is possible to find someone who will charge less for the job (which I did but still chose Rick) but you know you'll have peace of mind and get a good quality job with Rick's team!
brookhavengal
I found these guys on Kudzu as I was in need of a handyman to install four small solar lights on to a brick wall. I figured I would get the runaround due to the size of the job--not at all. I made an appointment for the next day and Matt showed up prompt and ready to go. The pricing was very affordable, plus he helped me lay some ground cover with no complaints and did the job just as I would have if I were able to! I definitely will call upon them again as they understand that good customer service is a standard regardless of the job size! The reviews don't lie!
setandspiked
Rick and his crew performed an exceptional job in replacing our water intake pipe system from galvanized steel to CPVC pipes with copper connections at all cut-off valves. The entire house was re-done and we now have clean, fast running water and no leaks. A major project was repairing a leak in the main bathroom without removing the old shower pipes. Due to the construction of the house back in 1967, it was a major challenge for Rick and his crew, but they accomplished the impossible and we now have clear fast running water in the shower and tub. All this was done without shutting off the water entirely and causing us an inconvenience. We would recommend FixIt Atlanta to anyone without hesitation for any remodeling project involving your home.

I met Ricky over 20 years ago when he was recommended by Home Service Alliance to repair a hole in a ceiling which one of their employee fell through. Since that time Rick has done numerous jobs totaling over $75,000 and each and every one of them was performed to my complete satisfaction. Rick does all general contracting, such as, plumbing, roofing, adding a screen porch and finished basements. I highly recommend Rick.
