"After placing our order, communication essentially stopped. Took multiple emails and texts to try to get any updates on our order. Windows were installed well with minimal damage to surrounding finishes and installers left the areas as clean as they could. Very disappointed the windows were NOT cleaned before the installers left. A small gesture like that would have been very appreciated."

Here at Eric’s Handyman Service, I specialize in furniture repair and new furniture builds, and that’s already on top of trim work, tile and laminate work, and cabinetry repair. Your home is where you live and if you select me, then I will obsess over fixing your problem until finished with your approval of work performed, or if I can’t accomplish the work I won’t charge you a dime. I have over 20 years of carpentry experience. I have built fixtures for a fast food restaurant chain, and I also have trimmed houses and other related types of work.

"As it turns out, the issue was more serious than a simple adjustment. Eric tried to fix it and then explained what would need to be done. We decided to postpone the project for now. Eric was prompt. He was polite and respectful and explained in detail what would need to be done. It was obvious he has lots of handyman skills! I would hire him again. Also his prices were reasonable."

Large repairs that caulking typically won’t do well with include cracks or holes larger than a 1/4 inch, rotted wood, or metal surfaces, such as garage doors.
