Emma S.

Shawn was incredible. The job I needed him for ended up being much bigger than anticipated but he stayed past the scheduled end time just to GET THE JOB DONE. Very professional service; would 10/10 recommend to anyone needing handyman services.

Michael B.

Luigi was a total pro. Showed up on time, had all the tools, got work done quick. friendly too! would recommend

Brittany S.

Artur was amazing! He did an excellent job on everything and even fixed something a previous Handy person did incorrectly. He went over and beyond and I would definitely hire him again!

Joanna P.

He was quiet and efficient, gave me options and made sure I was happy with what was happening, and said my dog was cute. :)

Carmen A.

Amazing work! He was a perfectionist in hanging our paintings and I appreciated his attention to detail. He also came well prepared - a floating coat rack we ordered has too small holes and insufficient anchors for the weight - he was able to expand the metal holes, and securely anchor it for 200+ lbs of weight! The extra care, attention, and knowledge is phenomenal and I wouldn't hesitate to call Nelson again!!

Elise H.

Nathaniel was a huge help hanging a really heavy and huge mirror in our 100yr old home. He’s a very nice guy and super helpful!
