Phalan Construction & The Handyman

Bob Phalan has been our go-to handyman for the past 3-4 years. First of all, he is the rare contractor/workman who communicates and shows up when he says he will, often confirming the night before or calling when he’s on his way. We greatly appreciate his reliability. Over the years, Bob has done such a variety of projects for us that I can’t enumerate them all; but in the past year he has done painting, roof repair, carpentry, power washing, gutter cleaning and more. Bob is very knowledgeable about materials, tools and processes. No matter what the project is, Bob always seems to have the right tools for the job. He’s very organized and cleans up the work area when he’s done. I think his skills and workmanship are outstanding and I highly recommend him.

We engaged Bob Phalan of Phalan Construction to do a number of small to medium size projects in our home, including: building and installing stairs from the kitchen to garage, building/ finishing/ installing a stair handrail, building/ finishing/ installing doors for an existing kitchen cabinet, repairing 2 sinking decks, getting rid of squeaks in the floor, leveling a number of doors. Bob does excellent work, he really knows his stuff and is a master craftsman in all kinds of home projects, especially carpentry. We highly recommend Phalan Construction for many of your home repair/improvement projects! We definitely plan to use Phalan Construction for future projects.

Bob was prompt, professional and a delight to work with. He evaluated my project, kept me up to date on all decisions, and completed all repairs. The quality of his work was excellent

Bob Phalan has done many projects for me over the past four years. Some have been very small and straightforward (replacing weatherstripping, hanging pictures, fixing light fixtures, etc.). Others have been large (painting an entire condo, for example.). But what really distinguishes Bob's work from that of others is his ability to apply his ingenuity when a solution is not obvious. For example, he had to figure out how to construct enhancements to the exterior of my home to prevent insect penetration and nesting of birds in circumstances where there was no "off the shelf" solution available and his original creations have been quite successful. In addition, he is a pleasure to work with. He is definitely my "go-to" guy for all sorts of handyman work.

Bob did several jobs around my place. Hung 2 metal door awnings, 2 storm doors installed and carpentry work He did everything great and is meticulous and a real pro. I know it's going to be done right with Bob. He's done a lot of other jobs for me and that's why I always go back to him. He is highly recommended

Bob is the best! He’s done fantastic work on various small projects for us. He installed French doors, patched a large hole in the ceiling and closet wall, fixed our dryer connection and more. He takes real care in his work and makes sure to communicate well on what you want and how he is going to achieve it. I really can’t say enough nice things!

Bob was prompt and detail oriented in doing a couple home repairs. He thoroughly cleaned up the spaces after completing the work which we greatly appreciated. He was reasonably priced and very professional.

Mr. Phalan took care of a tricky repair to an old style solid wood exterior door on a 2nd floor deck. The door was quite heavy and had several glass panels in it, too. Bob quickly rebuilt the busted hinge and had the old door working “better than new”, in about 30 minutes. Quick and clean job!

I am certainly pleased with the work performed by Bob! He spent time researching the best options, spending considerable time reviewing what the work would entail, purchased the materials, arrived on time and was meticulous in all phases of the work! I will without hesitation hire him for other projects and have wholeheartedly recommended him to others! Very professional, courteous and extraordinarily skilled with lots of solid experience from which to draw!! Linda Warren

Bob is a true professional from start to finish. He installed lattice around my deck and shed and added a boarder at the bottom of white vinyl fence which made such a difference in the appearance of the fence, great job!He arrives on time, sets up for the day and never stops working during the day. Excellent workmanship, and takes pride in his work. He cleans up at the end of the day, checks in before he leaves, and always has great ideas and suggestion. It was a pleasure having him do the work. I highly recommend.

Bob did several projects around my moms house for us. He replaced siding, cleaned and replaced dryer vents, replaced a screen door, trimmed trees and more. We are so happy to have met and can call on Bob when future projects come up.

Bob is a superb handyman and contractor. He has years of experience in all house-related projects. He has great ideas and his work is meticulous. Highly recommend for all home repair and updating needs.

Very professional, clean work and good communication about timing and expectations.

Bob was prompt and listened to what I needed. He explained the issue with my exterior door and found the faulty hinge. He spent time adjusting the adjustable Anderson hinges. Charged a reasonable amount.

I hired Bob for several exterior projects on my home, including replacing rotting window trim, building custom window headers to match the originals, and sealing, sanding, and painting the trim. He’s a highly skilled carpenter and a hard worker who takes pride in his craft. He’s also friendly and great at communicating, always letting me know when to expect him. I’m very happy with his work and would gladly hire him again. Highly recommended!

Bob has worked with us on expanding closets, finishing our basement and repairing stair ballusters and much more. We have worked with Bob for over 20 years. His work is meticulous and we have trusted his experience and the excellent work results.
