Dorothy Funkhouser

“From the appointment setting to follow-through communication to good quality of work, it has been a pleasure to work with Alan. He is efficient and courteous. Alan also was most accommodating to my elderly mother for her home repair needs and additional support. I highly recommend Hire A Handyman!”

Cathie P

“Cru arrived on time, worked diligently and did a perfect job. I will recommend Hire a Handyman to everyone I know. I couldn't be more pleased. And it came in under the estimate!!”

steven hemingway

“The handyman that helped me today was awesome. I believe his name is Allen. I had a rough job of helping me fix an improperly installed window. He was very knowledgeable and identified the best way to fix the problem. He was mindful of the short time we had and didn't try to stretch it out for more money. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for help on small, medium, or large projects.”

Steven Elsis

“Professional, timely and affordable. I was very pleased and much better than those services that charge 3x as much. I'll use them again and again as needed! They worked on a closet and a loose door knob. Perfect work! The flat rate was great and no unnecessary add-ons. Good honest work.”

C Miller

“I had a drawer fall apart and in my guest room the head board had separated from the support. I called and in less than 48 hours they came through and fixed everything at a very reasonable price. They were the most professional service I have experienced. They communicated effectively and I am very pleased.”

Grace Casanova

“The owner of this company is very friendly and easy to speak with. The handyman showed up right on time and got right to work. Very professional and pleasant. He worked every minute he was at my apartment. I already hired them for another job. I will definitely spread the word on how amazing this company is.”

Michelle Nuce

“Was looking for a Handyman to install a toilet and ceiling fans. Called Hire a Handyman and received a quick callback. Set up an appointment for the next week. They were very polite and did a great job. Left everything cleaned up. Would definitely recommend.”

Mary Mabee

“Wow! Great company to work with. Truly experienced employee Allen is totally amazing. He comes up with a solution for everything! Wonderful, kind, caring, patient and a pro at his job!”

Barbara Bulin

“Would recommend experienced workers. Up front pricing. You know what you will be paying. Only exceptions would be necessary materials or extended time. Even with the unknowns the pricing is transparent and hourly. No surprises.”

Susan Corriher

“Billy was working in the area and agreed to come by when he finished the other job. He was polite, efficient. Lucky for me, he had put some storm door hinges in his truck so he was able to fix my door in no time. I really appreciate Billy coming to the rescue.”

Janet Garrison

“I have no complaints! Our handyman, Bill, arrived on time and completed all tasks with efficiency and perfection. He was courteous and completed everything within the expected time.”
