Riley is exactly what I think most people want in a Handyman. He is very respectful. Listens to your thoughts on the project and offers up possible ideas. He is so good….I am worried that he will be in such demand he won’t be available for my next project.

Having hired Riley now for a variety of difference jobs, I can say he is a pleasure to work with. From fascia repair to lots of wood-working, Riley is skilled and knowledgeable. He is extremely professional and a good communicator, which I really appreciate given how difficult it can be hiring an efficient handyman for odd jobs. Very happy with his work, very affordable and will hire again.

Details: 2 - 5 hours (A few different projects) • Repairs • Assembly • Garage • Cabinets • Shelving • Home
