Work needed
Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I offer personalized handy work ranging from the normal honey dos around the house to bigger projects like painting, sheetrocking, texturing, minor electrical and plumbing, interior doors, cabinet repairs and all types of woodworking and refinishing. I also can do full on landscape jobs and exterior work if needed.
The thing I like most from this type of work is how gratifying it is at the end of the day to see how life changing it can be to update and upgrade someone's home. After all, it is your castle, right?

Scotty has done several jobs for us: new laminate flooring, painting, cleaning, demo, etc. All his work has been top notch and professional. Highly recommended.

Scotty was impressive, he fixed everything right and in the time he said he would. Since we have a rental, he documented everything with photos so we could see what he was going to fix, the parts he bought to fix it, and then the finished job itself. We hired him to fix our toilet and our fence, 2 fairly different types of projects, both jobs turned out great! We will definitely call Scotty again for our next handyman project.

Scott was very talkative wanted to keep stopping and explain everything. Since he was being paid by the hour he went very very slow. Scott spent 45 minutes to nail one anchor and hang a mirror. He kept measuring and going to his truck to get things. While talking. Scott spent an hour and 15 minutes to hang a simple light from the ceiling. He kept dropping and looking for the screws, like 15 times. Took light down 7 or 8 times. These are stall tactics hourly handymen use to milk time. Scott spent another 30 minutes to screw ONE screw in on a ceiling fan cover. Never got it on. The last 30 minutes was spent taking down an existing ceiling fan in which he never got the new ceiling fan up because he ran out of time. Paid $90 for 3 hours and all I got was a mirror hung too high, a light fixture and a hole in my ceiling. I still have to pay someone to come back and put up the ceiling fan.. Scott was clumsy and dropped my light to the floor, thank god it didn't break or he would have had to buy me another one 70 bucks. Scott kept dropping every screw all evening about 30 and 40 times I had to stand by him so he would not go hunting for them and waste more time. Scot emailed me said he would come back since I paid him and he didn't finish. I told him I was not please that he took so much time to do little things and left a hole in my ceiling. He never showed up. Maybe because I told him my boyfriend would be there.
Update: I had no boyfriend at the time. I just told you that for my own safety. You were a creeper and creeping me out. DON'T LET THIS MAN IN YOUR HOME UNLESS YOU HAVE ANOTHER MALE PRESENT!
