Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers' interests and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"Horrible workmanship - to the degree that I am truly suspicious of any of his online reviews and their credibility. This man, hands down performed some of the shabbiest and most unsightly work I have ever seen. As if that wasn?t enough, when I approached him about it, he grew defensive to the point of leaving my home without notice and leaving nails, metal shavings and tools behind. I would never in my right mind recommend this man for any job.Take a look at his ramshackle van - mind you, I don?t generally judge about a persons? auto. Had the owner of this one-man company performed well, his vehicle would have never been mentioned. However, I feel that van mirrors the aesthetic his work takes on. Atrocious work and what?s worse is his sourpuss attitude."

Handyman Services questions, answered by experts

A contractor specializes in a specific field. They often operate in teams where they have subcontractors to handle specialized problems. So if you have significant plumbing, drywall, or roofing issues, you’ll want to hire a contractor, as the job may require a team.

A handyperson is typically one person who works on whatever jobs come their way. You wouldn’t call a contractor to fix the hinges on cabinets or paint your room. Instead, a handyperson can handle all these issues, saving you from making multiple phone calls.

There are a few advantages to hiring a handyperson as a contractor, namely that they will likely charge less for their services since they don’t have as much overhead. A handyperson might also have more flexibility and be more involved in your specific home project, so you can communicate with one person instead of a subcontractor team.

Handypeople usually don’t hold trade licenses, so they typically aren’t qualified to tackle projects involving installing or making alterations to plumbing or electrical lines. Below are some jobs that a handyperson usually won’t be able to complete:

  • Installing plumbing for a new kitchen or bathroom

  • Replacing plumbing pipes

  • Installing or repairing septic systems

  • Running new electrical wiring

  • Installing a subpanel

Yes, handymen can offer quick responses to urgent issues like leaks or electrical problems.

The biggest benefit of hiring a handyperson over DIY is guaranteeing they’ll do the project correctly. This might save money in the long run and prevent future issues from arising. Hiring a handyperson also saves you the hassle of doing the job yourself. Finally, some projects pose safety risks, so hiring an experienced pro is much safer.
