Swingset Man

Founded 2005 • With Angi since August 2010

I have been building swing sets on my own and for major swing set manufacturers since 2001. I install most of the swing sets on the market today. If you are looking to purchase a used set or looking to move houses and want to take your current set with you, I can also relocate your swing set. I also provide services to fix your set; whether some boards broke, some are rotted, or it just needs to be fixed up or straightened. I do not offer services that include staining your set, adding a sealant, or pressure washing. I service SE PA, all of DE, all of NJ, all of MD, western WV, and northern VA.

Russel was fantastic!…he helped select the right swingset for our family, he was patient during shipping delays and back-orders, he did the installation quickly, and he was available for all of our follow-up questions. I only wish we’d be buying more swingsets in the future so we could hire him again — one of the best contractors we’ve ever worked with.

Russel came out of his usual service area to replace the ladder on our 10+ year old swingset. We just had another little one, and wanted it to last for a few more years. He showed up exactly when he said he would on one of the hottest days of the year, and had the job done in about 30 minutes, including a minor excavation project to get to the bolts on the base. He even repaired a handrail with new hardware that he must have noticed was in desparate need of TLC without me asking. Will absolutely hire again!!!

Russ was fantastic, and we'd highly recommend him to anyone considering purchasing a playset, let alone to anyone considering professional installation. Russ installed two playsets for us - in a single day, no less - and it's clear he's the "Swingset Man" for a reason: the man is an expert, and he has gotten the process and execution of building these sets down to a science. We initially debated assembling it ourselves, hiring a "big box" recommended professional, and leveraging an app like Handy to find a pro. We're glad we went with the best instead! Russ was an excellent communicator from our first interactions via phone and email; he even helped us choose the right set for our space and goals. Moreover, he was fair, friendly and organized. Perhaps most importantly, we can now rest easy knowing that our sets are were constructed as safely and sturdily as possible despite some uneven terrain. We'll be enthusiastically recommending Russ to our friends and family, and we're certain to use him again in the future.

Having Russel build our swingset was one of the best experiences we've had with a handyman. If only the rest of homeownership was so easy... Russel was responsive, punctual, and flexible when we had to reschedule once due to the original swing set being delivered in a damaged state. On the day of the build he knocked it out of the park, we are thrilled with the assembly and the placement. Would hire again in a second and recommend him to anyone.

Russel is amazing, there just is no one better. He was endlessly patient as we had multiple shipping issues including delays and items missing. Once we finally got all the purchased items together we finalized our appointment date and Russel arrived exactly when he said he would. He is incredibly professional, all boxes were flattened and stacked, the swingset assembly itself was done with speed and care. He installed additional anchors to make sure it was all safe and level, that thing isn't going anywhere. I could not recommend him highly enough, he does excellent work, and cares about what he does.

Amazing results!! After a false start with another contractor, we brought in the pros at Swingset Man to do the job right. The Set required leveling both front and back, and left to right. They were super organized, efficient, and obviously well versed on our particular swingset model…no doubt one of many in a vast library of swingsets they have experience with. Pricing was very competitive.

Russel was extremely helpful from the start. We had a bad experience with a large swingset provider recommending a swingset that was too large for our yard and Russel helped us pick a good quality set that fit our yard better. He was very responsive from the start and easy to get in contact with. On the day of our install he was quick and efficient. His pricing was very fair and on par with what other big box retailers would charge for a likely much less experienced installer. Highly recommend!

Excellent, can't recommend enough. They make it look so easy. We do not have a level garden, so the team made sure it was stable and put additional support under the appropriate spots so the playground was level. This isn't just safer, but means the playground will last so much longer. Thank you!

Russel arrived on time and quickly got organized with all the materials and had the play set up in a few hours. He clearly knows what he is doing and has a efficient system to quickly and safely construct the playset. The playset is sturdy and looks great. I couldn't be happier.

I had constant communication with Russel (swingset man) through email and Facebook messenger with questions, quotes, and dates, and all were replied to in a timely manner. He came on the date and at the time that was scheduled with his helper. They were professional, knowledgeable, and skilled in their task to install a very large Gorilla swing set for my kids in the backyard. I believe the job took around 6 hours, but from what I've read, would take most people 3 days to assemble. Russel also goes above and beyond to make sure all parts are installed correctly and safely than other installers would probably not care to do. His service is on the pricier side, but you get what you pay for and that is quality work and the job done right.

Russ was awesome and I highly recommend him even if you consider yourself handy. He was a true professional, had all the right tools, and knew exactly what he was doing. Having worked with my fair share of fraud contractors, Russ is the real deal.

Russel was incredible. After a precious company tried to do the job and was unsuccessful and unprofessional, Russel was incredibly responsive and helpful! He even had to come twice because the first time we discovered the original company had taken all the hardware. His price was better, for much better work. The swingset is stable and safe. My children are so excited and so am I! I could not recommend him more highly.

Russ was fantastic - he arrived on time, had all the tools he needed and got right to work. He checked in with me on placement halfway through and completed the work within 4 hours. He left the area spotless. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Our old swingset was destroyed in a storm and we needed a new one installed. My husband and his friend spent 3 days installing our previous set. When our new and bigger set arrived, I was 9 and a half months pregnant and couldn’t spend that much time building it, so we had Russ come do it. He and one other person had the entire set (gorilla wilderness gym) built in just under 5 hours. We’re very happy!!

Russ showed up on time and went right to work. He put together a Gorilla Great Skye 2 playground In about 5hrs. It was leveled appropriately and he even added some stabilizing posts for the rope ladder that were not included in the set.

Mr. Huber was the perfect professional. He was reliable with excellent communication and response time. He was kind and courteous to interact with, efficient and built a fantastic play set for my son to enjoy. He even dealt directly with the manufacturer for us to have a missing piece delivered to our house and came back when we received it to install. In the meantime, he devised his own fix to make the set safe and usable for our excited little boy. I couldn’t recommend the swing set man enough!

Russel is super professional and responsive. He did a great job installing our playground in our front yard which is slightly sloped, all for a reasonable price. He arrived on-time and had the playground up within about 5 hours.

I would highly recommend Russel if you are looking to have a swing set built or moved to another location. He went above and beyond to make sure it was secure and level for our kids. He was professional, on time and went through all required maintenance of the set. Thanks again, Russel!
