"I bought my current SFH home in June 2014 and wanted some small odd jobs done shortly after moving in. Nothing major, but more than I could handle as a former condo owner. I consulted Angie's List for some handymen services and rounded up four candidates to give me estimates. Matt was very professional and answered all my questions without being condescending or dismissive. His quote seemed fair in comparison to some of the others I got. And he was flexible and pleasant to deal with, by both email and in person. Once I hired him, I was glad I did. The work quality has been excellent all around. I have been very pleased and hope to be hiring him again soon to do a few more jobs around the house. We had one small hiccup with the caulking in the bathtub not curing properly. But he came right back out to correct it as soon as I let him know. Good guy and a great team. I highly recommend him.
