This review or for mounting and installation. I talked to Ben about four possible tasks that I needed done: 2 motion sensor solar panel light mounting, 1 door reinforcer installation, and 1 cabinet hinge repair. Initially, I asked if all four projects could be done in an hour. However, after our discussion, it sounded like it would take more than an hour, so I I asked Ben to prioritize the lights first to see how much he can do in an hour, which he agreed. Ben installed the two lights on a non-flat surface and on one of the lights, a difficult angle and reach. Ben used his own tools and I advised him to bring specialized tools, which I didn’t have, to drill into concrete, which I didn’t know how to do either. Ben did tactfully completed this task. Since I was satisfied, I decided to proceed with Ben’s services for the second hour to install the door reinforcer and fix the cabinet hinges. Ben and I strategized ways to install the door reinforcer. He used another special tool to remove the trim after taking measurements, and I suggested fasteners were better than the screws the manufactured provided. Ben already had a tray of different screws, including the fasteners, prepared. Ben installed the door reinforcer with the fasteners and tested it. He successfully accomplished this task. Third, Ben was able to easily fix the cabinet screws and now the cabinet works fine. Conclusion, Ben took 100 minutes of 120 minutes to finish all four tasks. Mathematically speaking, Ben finished the job 20 minutes faster and was 16% more efficient than I expected. In terms of efficacy, on a scale on 1-5, 5 being the best, I rate him a 5 out of 5. I highly recommend Ben on future projects. Side note: Ben’s professional experience AND Bachelor’s AND Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering makes him standout as a handyman compared to other competitors.

Ben was very helpful installing a piece of door hardware that I needed assistance with. He responded to my posting within an hour and was able to make it out the very next day for service. Due to some wood filler that had to be used, he wasn't able to finish the job the same day, but offered to come out the next day. I thought I could finish the final piece myself, so he took the time to thoroughly explain how to put on the final piece and made sure I was confident before leaving me to it. Additionally, he followed up the next day with a reminder message that he guarantees his work for 30 days and to call him if there are any issues with the install. I was very happy with my service from Ben.

Great experience- Ben responded promptly and arranged to come fix my broken cabinet door the very next morning, even messaging an ETA a few minutes beforehand. My broken cabinet door was fixed within 90 minutes and I am very pleased. I would not hesitate to call again. Thank you!!!

We had Ben come in to change the halogen recess lighting in our kitchen to led recess lights. Given that the halogen lights were low voltage, Ben inspected the lights and didn't unnecessarily rip out the transformer but tested and was able to install the new lights with the existing transformer. He also changed the outdoor lights for us and properly caulked them. Given the high quality work he did on his first visit, we had him come in and hang 9 paintings in our house. A couple of them were really tricky to install (extremely high - 14ft+ and another required drilling through a duct). Overall, we had a great experience with Ben and would hire him again. In addition to knowing his stuff, he is extremely courteous and professional to work with.

Ben did a wonderful job assembling and installing heavy-duty industrial shelving in my garage, including attaching them to the studs so they can’t ever tip over. Not the simple task you might imagine, because neither the floor nor the walls were level or straight, so he had to fashion wood spacers to make them level and secure. Great job, and a lovely guy.
