The job was completed and my tenant was very satisfied. It was a tricky job to avoid the door fitting too tightly but yet eliminating a drafty section. Good diagnosis and execution.

I am very pleased with the work performed by Proactive. Communication was always responsive. Everyone was professional and courteous even when our original plan changed. I asked for additional work after the original estimate of work. It did cost more than originally estimated but again I asked for the additional work so I was expecting the increase. i would recommend Proactive Prevention for anyone looking for handyman services.

We have used Ken for numerous "handyman" repairs. He is the best. He is very courteous and very skilled in many areas. Ken is 100% trustworthy. He cleans up after himself. He is prompt and usually avaialble for urgent situations. We have had many other people providing similar services in the past. Ken is undoubtedly the best.

Ken was awesome. He was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. He even gave advice and suggested easy fixes that I could do on my own to save a little money. I will definitely be using Proactive Prevention in the future.

Wonderful. Ken B. was punctual, professional, and quick. He fixed everything we needed and then asked if there was anything else we needed him to do.

Ken has fixed a variety of things in my home from a leaking toilet to boiler that wouldn’t light to installing light fixtures and air conditioner. Ken is personable, efficient, diligent and always dependable in a pinch!

The work done was completed on time and within the budget quoted. Ken went above and beyond and was professional in every way. We have used him multiple times since and would use him again for future projects.

It would be our pleasure to recommend Ken Brown and his company! He is a licensed electrician. He is a talented tradesman/handyman and has incredible work ethic and follow through. He has a broad range of skills and is willing to give any project a go. He is very fair with his project fees, honest, trustworthy and professional. The best of the best!!!

Terrific. Ken was incredibly responsive, showed up on time, tried to save me money by repairing the disposal, and when it was clear replacement was necessary, he was just as responsive and timely. He worked incredibly efficiently.

He is kind, funny, very honest, and does great work.  If there is something that he can not do, he will research and find the best person for the the job.  I can not say enough good things about him.
