Tony did an incredible job with my cabling projects throughout the house. He knocked out the first job in just 30 minutes by suggesting a much simpler solution than the one I had proposed.
The second job was the most difficult, and it involved installing a new ethernet cable running from my garage, through my crawl space, and up into a media cabinet. His installation was very clean, and he did a great job crawling under my house to route the cable.
The third job involved removing a bunch of legacy cables from my walls and installing a new HDMI cable for a wall-mounted TV. This meant spending even more time in the crawl space under my house. He was able to use the legacy cables as a "fishing line" to pull through the new cables.
In addition to the excellent work, Tony is an incredibly nice guy and fun to talk to. I'm looking forward to working with him on projects 4, 5 and 6...

Tony was amazing and I was glad I went with him for my holiday lighting needs. Tony was fast to respond, was very knowledgeable with the popular govee lighting products that I wanted to install and even suggested (and provided) better mounting hardware that would ensure that the installation would fit my use case and will stay up!
Tony explained to me the different variations on how I would want the lights to be installed and how they would look (closer to the house or further away etc) and it was nice to given a clear explanation on how the final product would look. Installed final product looked amazing, clean and professional.
I will not hesitate to book Tony again for future handyman needs.
Thank you Tony!

I couldn’t be happier with the work Tony did installing shelving in my closet. From start to finish, the whole process was smooth and stress-free. He showed up on time, was very professional, and came prepared with everything he needed to get the job done right.
The quality of his work really stood out, every shelf is perfectly level, very sturdy, and looks like it’s always been part of the closet. He took the time to measure carefully, made adjustments when needed, and double-checked with me to make sure everything was exactly where I wanted it.
What I also appreciated was how respectful he was of my home. He worked efficiently, kept everything tidy, and cleaned up thoroughly once the job was finished. It’s rare to find someone who delivers both excellent craftsmanship and such reliable service.
Tony also helped out with mounting another shelf in a bedroom and installed my tricky door knob with ease! I would absolutely recommend Tony to anyone who needs a skilled, dependable handyman. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again for future projects!

Tony is THEE BEST!! I can’t say enough about this gentleman. He was very detailed and thorough. His communication was great, he is punctual and so personable; he din’t get annoyed with all my questions and answered each one with professionally and with patience. Tony’s price was more than reasonable, especially for his workmanship. He really is a gem; he went above and beyond. He rescreened 3 sliding doors for us and he cleaned all the tracks and lubricated everything. He also replaced a Baldwin door handle/deadbolt combo which is quite difficult to install; another handyman tried and failed…twice!!! I WILL hire Tony again. And he is fragrance free!!! Thank God he doesn’t wear cologne that stinks up the house hours after leaving. I could go on and on but you get the drift. Thank you Tony, we are extremely happy with your work.
Details: Patio or porch • 1-2 screens • My home, venue, etc.

We are now a big fan of Tony’s. He fixed our front door. It wouldn’t open or close easily for a while and the lock would stick. Tony determined right away that the strike plate, door hinge, and weather stripping were not properly aligned and he made the necessary adjustments/repairs. Also, he found that a part was broken in the lock assembly which was making it stick. We found him to be knowledgeable, professional, and personable.
