Ontime Handyman & Construction Services

Barry has been my "go to" handyman for about 6 years. He's rebuilt a deck, done plumbing repairs, roof work, and the biggest project - remodeled my whole kitchen after I gutted it. He works with me to keep costs down, and quality up. Sometimes he is not very detail oriented when working with smaller projects, but can recommend people who can do the job better, and will always listen to your opinion if you offer it. I've been reading a few reviews that all were written about the same time (2013) and saying the same thing, that he drinks on the job and misappropriates funds, those reviews appear to be written by the same person, who I believe must have a grudge or something, because the handyman I know and have worked with extensively isn't at all like that.

I called from Chicago for some work on a home we were purchasing near UofR as a rental. Barry Traub answered his phone (first test of a contractor, even when busy!), showed up (second test of a contractor!), documented an estimate (third test), and worked with us on the initial project. We We're pleased enough to ask him to help with several other things we discovered as we went along. His knowledge and experience with a wide array of services (electric, plumbing, appliances, cement, insulation, painting) we helpful to us, instead of calling different contractors for each job. He was able and willing to do most work, but also professional enough to know his limits. When we found foundational masonry that was supporting the walls, he suggested an experienced mason to call. His price was reasonable, and his work was solid. As with most things, if you are looking for a work of art then hire an artist not a contractor. But if you need repairs done on time, for a reasonable price, and with confidence, give Barry Traub a call. No regrets here!

Ontime Handyman& Construction Services is the reason there needs to be more strict regulations on "contractors". Barry Traub thinks he can continually cut corners and act unprofessionally without any legal repercussions. He co-mingled funds, didn't complete jobs he was paid for and ignored phone calls. I should have listened to the other negative reviews on him before! He comes across as a decent guy, but when it comes down to it he is extremely conniving!
