We found the Meticulous Handyman through Angi and couldn’t be happier with the experience. After multiple unsuccessful attempts by other contractors to fix our storm door, Kristy and Cal immediately identified the real problem and made the correct repair. The door has never worked better! They also diagnosed and resolved an issue with our kitchen sink drain. Beyond their excellent workmanship, Kristy and Cal have been incredibly responsive and true to their word, qualities that are rare to find. Highly recommend them for any home repair needs!

I relied on Angi to present me with reliable professionals, and I was not disappointed. Kristy and Cal gave me a fair proposal for the work I needed. They worked with me in consideration of my timeline. They were punctual, neat, and did an amazing job. I would absolutely use them again, and gladly recommend them to anyone needing handyman services.

We hired the Meticulous Handyman to completely remodel our two bathrooms and update our laundry room. The work was truly meticulous down to making sure the house was spic and span when the job was finished. The upfront pricing was clear and concise and we even saved some money based on their recommendations for materials. Because our home is over 150 years old, we expected some issues - and we were not surprised when we found some structural problems. Kristi explained options and was upfront with the additional cost and time to remediate. We always felt totally informed and the job was completed when they said it would. Their craftsmanship was excellent and we recommend them without reservations.

In 2021, Christy remodeled a bathroom for me. She fixed my cracked drywall and painted every room in my house. She was quick and neat and my house looks new again. She picked out great tile for the fixtures in my bathroom and it looks awesome. I call her whenever. I have a home project that needs done. I refer her to all my friends.

I was so pleased with their work because they were meticulous with everything they did. They were extremely professional with excellent communication. I had some difficulty with designs especially for my bathrooms and they had wonderful ideas. They were honest about everything they did. When I have more money saved they are the only company I want helping me to finish what l still have left to do.
