I'm so happy! Very responsive. Great punctuality! I wanted them to put up some Christmas lights and to do some work in my kitchen . They came the same day I reached out to look at what I needed and got the job done 2 days later. Super fast service and just overall great customer service. I will absolutely be using the Sammi again!

About SHORTYS HANDYWOMAN SERVICES
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE READ! NO UPFRONT COST! ONCE YOU HIRE ME YOU GET A DISCOUNT ON FUTURE PROJECTS! IF YOU CONTACT ME BE READY FOR ME ANSWER BACK REALLY QUICK I EXPECT THE SAME IF I RESPOND TO YOU! THIS IS MY JOB WOULD YOU WANT SOMEONE NOT TO RRDPOND TO YOUR JOB? My name is Sammi, PLEASE READ!!!!! if you contact me directly I will reply in minutes, if you don't respond please do not contact me again its a waste of time thanks! here's a little something if you think my prices are to high A CONVERSATION ABOUT PERCEIVED VALUE: A customer asked how much it would cost to do this project. My friend gave him a proposal: $4500 The customer responded: That’s seems really high. My friend asked: What do you think is a reasonable price for this job? The customer answered: $2500 maximum My friend responded: Ok, then I invite you to do it yourself. The customer answered: I don't know how to. My friend responded: Alright, then how about for $2500 I'll teach you how to. So besides saving you $2000, you'll learn valuable skills that will benefit you in the future. The customer answered: Sounds good! Let’s do it! My friend responded: Great! To get started, you are going to need some tools. You will need a chop saw, table saw, cordless drill, bit set, router, skill saw, jig saw, tool belt, hammer, etc.. The customer answered: But I don't have any of those tools and I can't justify buying all of these for one job. My friend responded: Ok. Well then for an additional $300 I can rent my tools to you to use for this project. The customer answered: Okay. That’s fair. My friend responded: Great! We will start the project on Monday. The customer answered: I work Monday through Friday. I’m only available on the weekends. My friend responded: If you want to learn from me then you will need to work when I work. This project will take 3 days so you will need to take 3 days off work. The customer answered: That means I’m going to have to sacrifice my pay for 3 days or use my vacation time! My friend responded: That’s true. Remember, when you do a job yourself you need to account for unproductive factors. The customer answered: What do you mean by that? My friend responded: Doing a job completely from start to finish includes time spent to plan the project, pick up materials, travel time, gas, set up time, clean up, and waste disposal amongst other things. That’s all in addition to the actual project itself. And speaking of materials, that’s where we will start on Monday so I need you to meet me at the lumberyard at 6:00am. The customer answered: At 6am?!! My work day doesn’t usually start until 8am! My friend responded: Well then you’re in luck! My plan is to start on the deck build by 8am. But to do so we have to start at 6am to get materials picked up, loaded and delivered to your job site. The customer answered: You know, I’m realizing that a lot more goes in to a job than what a customer sees in the finished project. Your proposal of $4500 is very reasonable. I would like you to handle the project. CONCLUSION: When you pay for a job, especially a custom job, (whether it’s a physical project or digital project) you pay not only for the material and the work to be completed. You also pay for: ✔️ Knowledge ✔️ Experience ✔️ Custom Skills ✔️ Tools ✔️ Time to plan ✔️ Time to prepare ✔️ Professionalism ✔️ Work Ethic ✔️ Excellence ✔️ Discipline ✔️ Commitment ✔️ Integrity ✔️ Taxes ✔️ Licenses ✔️ Sacrifices ✔️ Liabilities ✔️ Insurance If you request a proposal for custom work to be done, please don’t disrespect a service provider by trying to get them to lower their prices. If their proposal exceeds your budget, there’s nothing wrong with getting other proposals. Just remember.. you get what you pay for. 👉🏼 SERVICE PROVIDERS: Know your worth and be confident in it. 👉🏼 CONSUMERS: Recognize their worth and be respectful of it.

She means what she says I contacted her and received a quick response. She was able to get my repair done right away. They were on time, knowledgeable and did a great job. The cost was reasonable and what I liked as well was they did a great job cleaning up afterwards.
Sammy was also professional and punctual, but I could only pick 3 things that I liked. I am so pleased with the work (front door and storm door install) and eill definitely be calling Sammy again for future projects.
I also thought Sammy was professional and punctual, but I could only pick three things that I liked. I am super pleased with the work (front door and storm door install) and I will definitely be calling Sammy again.
Shortie did an excellent job installing LVP flooring. Very fair pricing and professional and precise work. Highly recommend.
Shorty communicated well regarding scheduling and work accomplished. She worked quickly and efficiently and left the work area clean and tidy. The work done was of good quality.
Don’t complain when I don’t select you as the person for the job. Then, complain that I’m wasting your money by trying to reach out initially and say “it’s annoying”
Great experience! They were super nice and quick. The TV was mounted perfectly, and the whole process was smooth. Thank you! Definitely 5 stars!
