Finding Dave has been such a lifesaver! He has been able to help me with so many types of projects! He has quickly become my go to phone call when I need things done! He has fixed another personâ s mistakes on a shiplap wall, painted, fixed a door, fixed a toilet, and created an amazing accent wall with wainscoting for my living room. I find his pricing extremely fair and he works hard to get you on the schedule ASAP. On top of it, he is just a really nice guy! Highly recommended ð

I hired David to install all new flooring for my rental property. He helped me through the process of choosing what would work best for the high traffic areas and brighten up the place. He had my old flooring removed quickly and new flooring and molding installed. Iâ m very happy with how it looks and will continue to use his other services for my property.

Great experience getting start to finish. EHM was very responsive, always on time, and very thorough with the work. I hired Dave for several smaller tasks: baseboard install, ceiling repair (previous water damage), painting, and kitchen cabinet repair. All the work met my expectations, and working with Dave was an enjoyable experience. I will definitely hire EHM for any future handyman requirements.

My first experience with the company was with the office manager Sabrina who was kind and helpful. I got scheduled quickly. David showed up promptly and was conscious not to bring in a mess as he entered and exited. He was knowledgeable when I asked him questions and communicated clearly. He did a great job on all the projects he completed and he cleaned up after himself. I have been a returning client due to their professionalism.

A big, worrying job to replace our upper bathroom floor that had rotted away and dislodged the toilet, but the rebuilding and plumbing jobs were done at a fair place and all-round quality. Excellent work and service.
