"Dr. Fixit did a fantastic job installing the shower door and plumbing in my bathroom. He also put grout around the bathroom window where it was cracking. I appreciated that very much! I will use his services again!"
"I had an amazing experience and highly recommend him! I needed very large, heavy blackout curtains installed across a wide area of my loft, and the wall made the installation especially challenging. He did an incredible job making sure everything was installed securely, properly, and looked great. He also installed my electronic curtain openers and got everything set up perfectly. I can now open and close the curtains using Siri and Apple Home, which has been a huge upgrade. The blackout curtains are already making a noticeable difference in keeping my loft much cooler during the day. Beyond the quality of the work, he was extremely personable, professional, and easy to work with. His pricing was also very reasonable, especially considering the difficulty of the installation. I will absolutely be using him again for other handyman projects around my home. Excellent work, great service, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!"
"We were able to schedule same day appointment, Will was on time and prepared. The price quoted was fair and comparably to other estimates. He did a great job with assembly, clean up and we were able to use immediately. I highly recommend Absolute Finishings for any handyman projects."
"Ray replaced some bad siding in various places, installed a new door/trim, added a gutter and ended up replacing windows for us. Sometimes weather and available workers were challenging, but he always kept me informed and was very pleasant to work with. Satisfied with the work and so far no issues-"
"Gary came out immediately in the evening to my home to assess a broken deep freezer. He determined the issue, ordered the part and had it up and running first thing the next morning. Great Service! Thank you!"

"They came in and removed my 115 year old flooring that was in terrible shape and replaced it with new subflooring and laminate. They were great with working around my schedule and did a fantastic job of cleaning up the job site (my living room) after. Great experience and I would recommend them wholeheartedly."
Fire Pit Installation questions, answered by experts
The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is more complex. Unless the fireplace is ventless by design, you’ll need some type of exhaust pipe system to safely send fumes and other harmful byproducts out of the house. Even then, ventless fireplaces are not always permitted because they do keep the byproducts inside of your house. Ventless fireplaces are safest when installed in spaces that are themselves well-ventilated, like large rooms with lots of windows.
Yes, you should seal and cap an unused chimney to protect it from damage. Sealing the structure helps prevent moisture damage, which can lead to issues like cracks, spalling, efflorescence, and damaged mortar joints. Capping the chimney is also crucial to prevent blockages, damage from invasive critters, and downdrafts, while still allowing for proper air ventilation to manage moisture. For the best results, consult a chimney professional to select the right type of chimney or flue cap for your home. It's also wise to continue with annual chimney inspections to maintain the structure's integrity.
Yes. Even when it’s not in use, an outlet is still connected to wiring, and if the wiring is faulty or wet, a fire can occur. Broken outlets can also cause fires, for the same reasons; in fact, most broken outlets are broken due to damaged or worn-out wiring. It’s worth replacing outlets that are old or damaged with the help of an electrician.
Testing a fire extinguisher by discharging even a small amount will void the warranty on the product. Pushing down the pressure pin on top and waiting to see if it pops up is the best way to ensure it’s still pressurized. If you’re concerned about your extinguisher, hire an expert for a professional inspection.
After a house fire, you should not reenter your home unless the fire crew has told you it’s safe to do so. In the longer term, you should not attempt to make repairs to the house on your own. Professional crews are trained to clean up after a fire (including smoke and soot damage), dry out any water damage from the firefighter crews, and make the necessary structural, plumbing, and electrical repairs—and this is all likely covered by insurance.
