Guy was very professional and also helpful with opinions and ideas. He installed 2 cabinets in the bathrooms, fixed several towel racks, and also installed new hand towel rings and hooks. He was puntual, speedy, but very efficient. I have no photos of the job done since I already moved from the property, but I would recommend Guy VanSlyke for any handyman needs. I am about to call him again for other repairs.

I had such a great experience with my handyman! He came out and put together a closet insert for me and did an amazing job from start to finish. He was on time, super professional, and worked efficiently while still paying attention to every detail.
Everything came out exactly how I wanted it—clean, sturdy, and perfectly put together. You can tell he really takes pride in his work. On top of that, he was friendly, respectful, and made the whole process stress-free.
I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing work done and will definitely be using him again!

FAQs
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was always into carpentry and construction but in 2019 I left the hotel industry so my wife and I could move to Las Vegas once our son’s were grown. There I started meeting enough people to do this full-time. I moved back to Florida for family reasons and need to build my clientele here.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
