About us

A true handyman service, intentionally not pursuing contractor type tasks to focus on the under served "small task" market that every home has, but most services don't want or are not properly equipped to handle with the kind of competence, quality and professionalism that we do. Staying true to small jobs keeps our availability much higher. You will not find such a comprehensive package to arrive in an impressively large van stocked with all things necessary to address such a wide variety of tasks with such care and competence. If you've had trouble finding someone to hang your pictures, change a hard to reach light bulb, get your slider to you know ...slide. We're the call you need to make. Currently our hourly rate is $ for two skilled professionals. We typically suggest to resign to whatever your budget will allow, preferably 4 or 8 hour time frames and call with your prioritized list of tasks. Prioritizing ensures you are making the most of our visit with the things that will best enhance your life. Once the time is up, the remainder will defer to the next visit when finances will again allow, again to address the most important items to you first. By repeating this you will have your every day life looking and functioning the way it should, no more cabinet door that you have to open that certain way so it won't fall off, or what have you. We do charge for time in acquisitioning the necessary supplies, typically one hours time and will take away all waste produced every time for a nominal fee if desired. Handyman in the truest sense. In the past we've installed bat houses, repaired decks, righted sheds & concrete stairs, re-screened/repair patio doors & wheels, fixed cabinet doors, repaired exterior rot (selectively) with new trim or rot specific hardeners. Hung pictures and paintings, assembled diy furniture and yard playsets. Cleaned gutters, pressure washed for miles, install/repair storm drs. Really the variety is boundless with the only exception being jobs that require bldg. permits.

Dan Cormier is an amazing secret weapon that every home owner needs to have. He is smart, thoughtful and always has your best interests in mind. He'll come up with simple, cheap solutions that work. Plus, the things he fixes stay fixed. Meaning you'll never have to think about that problem again. He's an amazing resource for all things home repair related!

Dan stands above other handyman I’ve hired. A pocket door to a bathroom was erratic, it would jam or drop to the floor and neither open or close. After rehanging the door, it would slide for a day or two before again jamming. A carpenter tried and failed to solve the problem. I feared that the entire door and its frame needed to be removed and replaced. I contacted Handy for Hire, they responded, we agreed on a time for Dan and he arrived as planed. He spent some time analyzing the door and the mechanism on which it hangs. He identified the problem. The thread on one of the door’s adjustment screws was wearing - it would support the door for a short while before it again slipped from the screw. Dan’s next contribution was to take the mechanism home, weld a more sturdy screw onto the mechanism, return and install it on the door. Problem solved. I was impressed by Dan’s analysis of the problem and the ingenuity of the fix. A super handyman!

Dan of Handy for Hire visited our home for the third time in mid-July 2019. He fixed a gate, built a gate, stripped/recaulked our bathroom, and figured out a simple fix to a sticky door we’ve had problems with. We walked about identifying and prioritizing small projects for the next couple of years. As every, Dan was a friendly and delightful conversationalist. Really, do not bother trying other handy services first. Book an appointment with Handy for Hire and see how you like Dan and his work. We have been delighted and impressed.

It went wonderfully! The scheduling happened quickly and efficiently, Dan was prompt, worked quickly and effectively, made each of the repairs in a careful way, and I was delighted. His work was clean and professional. I had some of the necessary parts ready for him to make certain repairs but he brought all kinds of tools and equipment and had available just what was needed for each job and would have gotten whatever was needed if I had not had it. I would use him again without a second thought! His hourly price was quoted during scheduling and the value was well worth the reasonable price.

Dan was very clear, he presented me with the various options for repairs and their respective cost. He gave me honest recommendations and advice about things he thought should be done and others that could be left to another time. Very punctual, professional, clear communication and billing. Heartily recommended.

Went great. Dan was a total professional. He has been doing this a long time and knows his stuff. The artwork used a hanging system that he wasn't familiar with but figured it out quickly. Have a ton of jobs for the house and he is now my go-to person.

Excellent! On time, and total professional work. Applied preservative to some minor rot on some boards that will stop further rotting rather than added time and expense to replace the entire boards.

This is our second review of Handy for Hire. Our basement stairs were badly in need of repair. Dan got to us promptly and did a fantastic job of fixing the issue. Once again, we cannot give a higher recommendation than for Dan and Handy for Hire.

The work went well from start to finish. Dan was punctual, professional and skilled. He was both communicative and clearly on top of every aspect of each job, all of which have held up beautifully.

Excellent! We use Dan for all the things we can not do (we're not handy at all!!). He and Denise are quick to respond and schedule the work, punctual and very reasonably priced. He built a beautiful front door stoop for us, hung windowboxes, built closet shelves, repaired a kitchen sink faucet, and more. The work is good quality and done right.

I have used Dan for many different things over the years at my house. He is not only a great handyman, doing everything to perfection, but is a great person. I trust Dan completely and I could not give him a higher recommendation.

Dan made a custom built sliding door for our home. We could not be more happy with the work or the fair price. He's both skilled and creative, and we give him our highest recommendation for those seeking a handyman.

I can’t say enough good things about Dan. He’s punctual, he’s professional, he’s personable, he loves what he does and he thinks outside the box to find a solution. Within 5 minutes of meeting Dan he noticed the leg on a piece of furniture was out of whack and fixed it. I had my “honey do” list ready and Dan went through each item and completed it before moving to the next one, that included fixing my clogged downspouts in the cold rain. I will call Dan/Handy for Hire again without hesitation.

I have used Handy for Hire for number of jobs over the last several years and have always been extremely happy with the work that has been performed. The workmanship is always top-notch. I recently discovered some water in my 3 season porch. I had both a roofer and a mason come by to see if they could find where the leak was coming from and provide an estimate to fix it. Neither one could to determine the source of the leak. I called Handy for Hire and they were able to detect where the leak was coming from and gave me a very reasonable estimate to fix the problem. I will use Handy for Hire to fix this problem.

It went well. I would use them again. The reason I gave them a B for responsiveness is that I have tried to contact them a couple of times and they just have a long wait. It usually takes a month or two to get somebody to come out.

Everything went well. They were also very honest about the amount of work needed to be done, which was reflected in the price. Also, they decided to hold off on areas that might actually get addressed by other contractors, so that we weren't doing unnecessary work.

I couldn't be happier with the work done by Dan. He arrived promptly, listened to my requests, and made suggestions. He was very patient and careful, especially when the question of whether or some studs were load-bearing came up (isn't it always fun to open up walls?). He was personable, friendly, and professional. As for the quality of the work done, I am overjoyed. As a first-time homeowner, I find even small household modifications nerve-wracking but Dan made me feel confident and I couldn't be happier with how the bathroom looks now, even though it was a small-scale job overall. I will definitely be calling on Dan again in the future!

I've used Dan many times over the last few years and will use Dan for many years to come. Dan is exceptional at ordinary maintenance projects and he shines at projects that require his superior problem solving skills or imagination.
