Homeowners Friend Handyman Service

About us

I more frequently than not work alone. I mostly price a job, though working by the hour is an option. I usually require a small deposit on bigger projects. Smaller jobs, not so much, just pay by check or cash. Hopeing soon to be able to accept credit cards.

The project went very well. My wife and I are getting our condo ready for sale. Buzz and his son really care about making sure that the job is done right. They were willing to jump in and take care of extra items that came up along the way. The remodel came out better than expected. They are great to work with. We will definitely use them again for future projects.

Buzz was the 3rd guy that came out to assess the problem. The first guy cut open the bathroom wall but didn’t find the leak. The second guy said I needed to replace the entire shower. Buzz stuck with it until he saw where the water was coming from and determined is was purely a caulking issue! People like Buzz are hard to come by these days! He was professional, diligent, fast and reasonable! Buzz is my new “go to” guy!

It went extremely well. It was a complicated situation because the sink had been installed in a concrete counter top when the counter top was installed. There was no allowance for future repair work and the job was extra complicated. Buzz was relentless on figuring out a way to fix it and did not leave until we had a new faucet installed that was not leaking and had great water pressure. He is very friendly and punctual. Highly recommend.

Buzz is fantastic. Here's part of it - his son is his helper, and Buzz is teaching him a trade - so everything is done 100% right. He's the best drywaller and painter I've ever seen. Period flawless. Now realistically- He's not the fastest, and part of that is he's personally overseeing all the work. We corrected a clear coat issue on the door and had to custom cut the stairs to make this work. Drywall repairs I needed took 3 trips, and we interspersed those with other projects - he's in high demand. And, his rates are very reasonable. I'm calling him back for several projects. I really, really enjoy working with Buzz, and would love to have him as a neighbor.

Buzz is very professional and timely. He kept in contact till the job was completed. I would certainly call on him again when I need more handyman jobs.

Buzz was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. He came and reviewed what I needed done. He had experience and confidence in the scope, gave me a very reasonable quote on the spot and I was able to schedule him for the following week. Buzz was punctual and a great communicator. I will use Buzz again.

Buzz came out and looked over what needed to be done. He explained that he had several jobs going on and that due to bad weather it might be a week before he got started. My project took about 3 days and Buzz explained to me what was going on each day prior to starting. Pricing was fair and work is great. Highly recommended.

Not enough space here to say what a great job Buzz did for me. Not only did he take care of several small jobs for me but he made time in his schedule to do some prep work prior to an already scheduled carpet installation. He answered calls and texts promptly and the quality of work and his knowledge are outstanding. I plan to use him again for larger projects.

Buzz did a great job! Buzz communicated with me at all times about the steps and the process. He was punctual, did high-quality work and even corrected shoddy work that had been done in a different area. He was very pleasant and professional and I would certainly hire him again!

There were parts that I did not have and needed since this was a used fan to replace in living room that required more pieces given the ceiling height was much higher than in the previous house. So parts were needed, but it was bought in a timely fashion and the rest of the install went well.

Buzz was very professional and he communicated with us very well. He was very punctual and the work he performed was excellent. I will definitely use him again for our personal use and any thing that arise for the company I work for. The price was very reasonable and I could not have found any better person or company complete this job. We are buying a home in another year and I will definitely be calling Buzz!

Great job.  Buzz and his son arrived on time and were finished in a couple hours.  They removed the old ladder, installed the new ladder, replaced trim, caulked the seams, cleaned up and hauled the old ladder away.  Very quick, professional and excellent work.  Thank You for the referral.  Highly recommend.

All went according to plan. Buzz was also polite when the tile was not here when expected (my fault), which necessitated him reworking his schedule.

Buzz showed up as asked, until paid. He was to return to complete loose ends. He was scheduled and never showed up to complete. He still has not showed.

Buzz was prompt in returning my call and showed up within a week to give estimate of work. Work was started on time as promised and completed as requested in a very reasonable time frame. All work was done very satisfactorily and the overall labor cost was fair, not cheap, but fair. Everything I wanted to get done was done properly. I will definitely hire Buzz Shirley for additional work.

Buzz was extremely helpful and professional. He arrived early(!) and did a great job during the entire process. Toilet replacement was quick. The cartridge replacement was a challenge (the cartridge was stuck in the valve) and Buzz did a great job persevering, getting all the pieces of the cartridge out and also putting the new cartridge in. Total time for the project was about 2.5 hrs.
I'm looking forward to working with Buzz again.

Buzz, did a great job and the price was great.  He was courteous, cleaned up after himself and everything he did was done perfectly.  He cares a lot about making sure he is doing exactly what is expected while making sure it is quality work.  He was on time and always called back when asked.

Buzz responded quickly and his quote was very fair and competitive. Once he got into the job, he was flexible and found solutions with repairs that needed to be made. He was punctual, finished on bid and does excellent quality work. He repaired problems caused by a previous home repair person and made sure repair was done correctly. They even cleaned my gutters while on roof. Great people! Highly recommend.

He did a great job.  I was impressed by his knowledge, and let's get to work positive attitude.  He quoted a price and charged me the right amount.  His pricing was very reasonable.   I would not hesitate to use him again, and probability will in the future.
