Rajiv G. says, "I cannot recommend Nate enough! He completely transformed my attic, cleaning it to perfection and leaving it spotless. But that’s not all—Nate went above and beyond by tackling some tricky electrical work, showcasing his expertise not just as a handyman but also as an electrician, plumber, and carpenter. He’s truly a jack-of-all-trades! The quality of his work is outstanding, and his attention to detail is unmatched. On top of all that, his pricing is incredibly fair and won’t break the bank. If you’re looking for someone reliable, skilled, and affordable, Nate is your guy!"See more

Vivek C. says, "I've now done two drywall repair projects with Nestor and NJ Construction. One project last year was medium sized and tricky due to the small space and odd shaped parts of inside a furnace closet that was converted to a storage closet after I moved my furnace to my attic. The other project was just this week to convert the doorway to the closet in my home office into a "portal" (no door jambs or door) that was slightly smaller to accommodate the built-in IKEA closet I was installing. NJ Construction's pricing is VERY competitive. They are EASILY the best value compared to everyone else I got bids from. Nestor is friendly, competent, and did a great job making sure I'm satisfied with the work his people do. On both occasions, his people have been easy to communicate with and work with. Nestor will continue to be my first call for any drywall repair jobs at my home."See more

Michelle L. says, "Excellent IKEA Queen Bed Assembly by Vlad! Vlad did an absolutely fantastic job assembling my IKEA queen bed frame. He was punctual, professional, and had the bed put together quickly and efficiently. The construction is rock-solid—no wobbles or creaks at all! Vlad clearly has a lot of experience with IKEA furniture, as he made the whole process look easy. He was also very neat and tidy, cleaning up all the packaging before he left. I highly recommend Vlad for any furniture assembly needs. A true pro!"See more

Jacquelyn W. says, "A rainy Weds. morning at 7:30. Alternative dates were far off, so I gave him a pop-up to work under, connected electrical from the garage, and away they went! And the job enlarged, including using a pry bar (for at least an hour and a half!) to break out old concrete. My sidewalk suffered a chip, but considering the mess left behind by previous installations, it was probably inevitable. The new gate is beautiful, lightweight, and replicates the old one so closely I can’t see any differences, except it functions 10,000% better! Stain and urethane is nextlll"See more

Jacqueline R. says, "Alex is fast to respond, an extremely hard worker and pays attention to detail. Also I have never seen someone put furniture together so fast ! Alex has done 2 separate projects for me, one of them being 3 extremely heavy wall cabinets that he installed on the wall by himself. I will continue to use him for any projects going forward."See more

The hourly labor rate listed in Thumbtack for this provider was $65. However, he had a helper who added $25 an hour to that rate.

Pros: he seemed confident that he had put up plenty of barn doors before Cons: I feel I was overcharged for labor since it only took 40 minutes. I asked if it would be less money since it was quicker than he originally told me “about 2 hours”, but he said no, he had to keep to the estimate. Paying over $200 for less than an hour labor was not cool. He would’ve earned my recommendation if he had offered. My door was pretty much assembled and just needed to be put on the wall. No extra supplies needed.

I had some random labor, touch paint, paint scraping, mirror hanging stuff that I needed done TONIGHT. We spoke and he was here in 45 minutes. Very professional, efficient, did Alot of work in a small amount of time. Worth every penny and the pricing was great. I had thought I was going to have to pay Alot more! Nice gentleman, will definitely use again.

Antonio did a great job repairing my fence. He was easy to schedule with and was very accommodating. He quoted me parts and labor up front, so there were no surprises at the end. He arrived on time, offered some suggestions, confirmed what I wanted done, took quick measurements, and was off to Home Depot for supplies. He repaired the fallen, rickety fence in about 2 hours, and I'm perfectly satisfied with the work he did. Super nice guy, easy to work with, and I'd totally use him again!

I had a built in desk to remove from my bedroom. Tom charges about $55 an hour. The removal and hauling away of the desk to the dump took 2 hours, with 2 people, and the total bill was $450. The patching of the wall plus the drywall was an additional job so had to hire another person to do that . Would I hire him again? No. Too expensive in my opinion. His 2 trips to the dump caused the bill to be high as he included the time of waiting in line to the dump. I am told by other contractors that the labor time to wait in line at the dump is not typically included in the bill.

I can’t recommend this handyman enough. He was honest, resourceful, and incredibly skilled. He explained the more expensive option upfront—the one that would’ve required more labor and permanent work—but then took the time to come up with a much easier, more affordable solution that still looked amazing. The final result was flawless. The broken door looks like nothing ever happened. You can tell he’s very smart and genuinely knows how to fix things the right way, not just the expensive way. I really appreciated his honesty and creativity. If you’re looking for someone reliable, affordable, and truly talented, definitely hit him up. I’ll absolutely be using him again.

While some contractors like to be diligent and safe without providing an initial quote, Sean was very confident in the picture I provided and in the work needed to help me fix my problem. He and I went back and forth on texts and emails to iron out details but at the end of the day his quote was spot on regarding labor. He knew exactly what type of material to purchase before his first and only visit. Upon first meet, he was very professional. He took the time to assess the situation, prep his work area, and got started as soon as possible. My wife really likes the way it turned out and is very satisfied with the effort Sean put in toward his work. Will be reaching out to Sean for other "handyman" requests. See pics for before, during, and after.

Update: To respond Tom's comment: 1. it is not commercial townhouse like Tom mentioned. It is an individually owned condo unit. 2. Tom was in @ 10:20am and out @11:20am, not sure how one hour became one and an half hours he claimed. I still has all the message he texted me and the time stamp when I paid him (11:22 am) via venmo. Not sure why he lied about it. 3. When Tom said he fixed the broken shelf, he meant put 3-4 nails on the wall so the closet shelf has more support. Nothing was really broken. 4. Tom said the sink cabinet floor would take a couple hours to replace and he said the total job including the time he is here today would be $300. Tom said material is $30. So let's say material is $40 for the sink cabinet floor, so the labor is $240 for 4 hours ($65 per hour). If the cabinet floor takes 2 hours, why is he quoting me for 4 hours ? Oh I know, it includes the 2 hours minimum he charged me today even though he was here only an hour. 5. He said the closet door falling off track was because of the wheels but it is actually not. It is the track that needs to be fixed. I don't think Tom is honest and efficient as he claims to be. He lied about how long he was here (1 hour vs 2 hours). He knew he couldn't replace the broken mirror, the running toilet, and the leaky water spouts yet he claimed he could help before we met. If he did not feel comfortable to do the job after he got here, he could have said: sorry i don't feel confident to do the job, therefore, I will only charge for an hour the time I am here, not the 2-hour minimum I usually charge. But he insisted on being paid for 2 hours. Overall, I regretted not doing my due diligence reading the one-star review before I hired him. Lesson Learned. __________________________________________________________________ Told him about project including replacing broken mirror, running toilet and leaking water spouts, closet door falling of tracks, and replace sink cabinet bottom before we met. He told us he could help so we hired him. After he got here and examined those items, he told me he could not fix the toilet and the shower spout and suggest me to fire a plumber, he doesn't do mirror so he asks us to find a mirror guy. He is not sure if can fix the closet door so he suggest a mirror guy again. All he is sure is to do is the sink cabinet. During the whole time he was there to put some nails on the wall and measure the cabinet dimensions because apparently that’s all he can do. Stayed there for one hour and charged me 2 hours. It is not like we don't have enough work for him, but apparently, he is unable to do a lot of things and still requested us to pay for full 2 hours. We felt like we were lied to. If he is unable to do the job, he could have told us before he came. What a wasting of time and money. If you are looking for someone who can do some heavy lifting, maybe he can do that. But if you want someone who has little more skills and who can do more complicated work, I suggest look for someone else.
