Don Kreis did a great job. He took his time to make sure it was done right. He is very pleasant to talk with. He explained what he was doing and why. I will be sure to use him again and I would recommend him to everyone.

The Chief arrived, concentrated all his effort on the job, completely accomplished the repair, and tidied the area before he left. He was flexible in scheduling the work, focused on the work at hand without taking breaks, and left no mess for me to clean. The columns look like new. He was quite pleasant and entirely professional. I asked for his business card and will call him to do repair work in the future.

Mr. Kreis went out of his way to work me into his schedule and ensure the repair was completed before my appraisal and home inspection. The work was completed quickly and professionally, and the repaired part of the door frame blended in perfectly with the original wood.

It was great! Chief returned my call right away and kept in good contact with me all the time. He arrived when he said he would was clean courteous and efficient. He did a great job which is not always easy on old houses like this one. I'm planning to have him do more work in the future.

Don was great to work with.  He was prompt, extremely professional and worked quickly and efficiently.  He did exactly what I asked him to do and also took the time to make a few suggestions that I agreed with.  Very knowledgeable.  I would definitely recommend the Chief Handyman and will certainly call him again in the future.

It  was a great experience to have this handyman.  We are in process of fixing home to sell, and had become overwhelmed with it all.  He was able to come two days after first contact.  Was very punctual and efficient.  He did not mind us finding new little things for him to do while he was working.  We are very pleased with his workmanship, and will use him again if needed for final fixes.

When I called the Chief Handyman he called me back quickly. Shortly after he called after evaluating the job and gave me a quote. He had a big job coming up. I told him I needed to have it done fairly quickly. He squeezed me in before his much bigger job on a Saturday. I really appreciated him fitting me in when I knew he had a lot going on. The house is a rental and I like to keep my renters happy. He called when he arrived and called when finished. The gutters and the whole outline of the house looked wonderful. He cleaned up the mess and all the debris and bagged it put to the curb. This house is closely surrounded by large old oaks. When the gutters are filled they are clogged with wet messy debris. I was very impressed with everything he did. He also took a look at everything he saw and gave me advice about monitoring vulnerable parts of my roof. He also gave advice on the care of some of my large plants in the back. I believe any job given to him will be done "as if it is his house." He struck me as a completely capable take charge, take care of business kind of man. I will call and ask for his services again. He probably can do just about anything. Great experience. I highly recommend him.
