"We used Silver Hammer Services for several jobs. His employees made some major mistakes (they had to re-do a complete shower tile job, and faulty bathtub plumbing caused a leak through ceiling below). Robert did follow through and made the necessary fixes even though they caused some lengthly delays. There was one exception. We had Robert install a new bathroom door. It started to stick and would not close unless a forceful pull or push was made (therefore it was very loud). We asked him to look at it. He agreed it was sticking and said he would have one of his men take a look and fix it. More than three months later, after numerous texts and verbal assurances he would fix it, nothing had been done. Excuses were given, including staffing problems and a busy schedule. We finally had to hire our own handyman at a cost of $172 to get the door fixed."

"Charles was on time and very respectful of our home. He did a great job and even though there was a hiccup where he had to run to Home Depot (due to a prior issue from a different handyman) he did not ask for anything except payment for the additional parts at cost. I would and will hire them going forward!!"

"Had a great experience with this company. I had problems with my front door & he fixed it quickly. He also replaced our toilet & explained (showed us too) the reason we were having problems with our toilet going through flushing on its own. He did both services at reasonable prices & makes sure the job is done properly. I plan to use him for all my handyman services in the future."

Customers say: Terrific value

"I am thrilled with the work DTI (Ed) did for me. He was prompt; gave me fair prices and did a lot of different things on my old house in short order. He fixed one toiled and replaced two others; installed a new disposal unit (and added a switch for it) and a new kitchen faucet; and replaced three a total of four faucets in the basement / laundry areas. Rarely was a project just as I'd explained it so his willingness to make changes to meet the realities was most welcome. Every work area was left better than when he started and all old material and trash was removed. He is a cheerful fellow who I enjoyed chatting with and my dog loves him (and he was really nice to her). I couldn't be more pleased!"

Handyman Services FAQs, answered by experts

When comparing handyman service quotes in Plainfield, be cautious of unusually low estimates, requests for large upfront payments, or pressure to commit quickly. Lack of written estimates, missing references, or no proof of insurance are warning signs. Avoid professionals unfamiliar with local permit requirements or building codes, and watch for those who rely solely on verbal agreements or use aggressive sales tactics.

Helpful?

In Plainfield, small handyman tasks like faucet repairs or light fixture installations typically take a few hours to two days. Medium-sized jobs, such as repairing decks or installing cabinets, often last three to seven days. Larger projects, like basement remodels, may extend from two to six weeks. Factors like weather delays, permit approvals, and supply chain issues can impact these timelines.

Helpful?

In Plainfield, homes with finished basements, open layouts, or vaulted ceilings can complicate handyman projects. Signs such as wall cracks, sloping floors, or sticking doors may indicate structural concerns, especially in older homes with original wiring or plumbing. If your property has clay soil or a history of settling, consult a structural expert before major changes to ensure safe and effective repairs.

Helpful?

For handyman and home repair projects in Plainfield, choose materials that withstand local freeze-thaw cycles and clay-heavy soils. Fiber cement siding and composite decking are ideal for exteriors, while moisture-resistant drywall suits basements prone to humidity. Indoors, opt for engineered hardwood or luxury vinyl plank flooring for stability. Use low-VOC paints and insulation rated for Zone 5A to handle seasonal temperature swings.

Helpful?

For Plainfield homeowners, keep a cordless drill, level, tape measure, utility knife, and screwdriver set for routine home repair and DIY tasks. Stock up on pipe insulation, weatherstripping, and de-icing supplies to address local winter conditions. It’s also wise to have drywall compound, assorted screws, electrical tape, basic plumbing fittings, and emergency items like flashlights, batteries, and a main water shut-off tool.
