  All i needed was a few things done around the house. I found Stan on Thumbtack and he seemed farely reasonable. I just needed to put in a ceiling fan in my living room and one in my dining room. He suggested to add a switch for the one in my dining room for more convenience. He finished in record breaking time! He was very careful and clean as well. I liked the way he worked so i asked him to paint my daughters room. He was very helpful in comparing paint quality and prices. I was very pleased with the finished product and made him my official handyman! I recommend him to my friends. He is a very honest worker and i trust him in my home.
