About
As of recent I have found it necessary to clear up a few items. I charge a initial fee for coming over. I have to do this to cover my expenses, fuel, time, the cost of Thumbtack. When it comes to window repair. I fix the windows but not the glass. Appliances, I do install, Over range microwaves, Refrigerators , water lines. I clean out dryer vents. I have recently repair two different water supply lines for washing machine, that were corroded on. Please remember I do need to charge that initial fee. My performance, I show up. If I can not show I will be in communication. My work is done on a professional level. My attitude of the years has turned many of my customers in to life long friends. I have been trusted not only with the security of very high end homes, but I was in shock when one of my customers, ran to the store. She told me she was leaving William, a three year old, if I didn't mind. I made the remark that I appreciated the trust she had in me. Funny enough her response to that was she trusted me to care for him more than her husband. I really enjoy the feeling, of being welcomed and people happy to see me, not only as a repairman, but as a friend. I have actually spent many holidays, birthdays, or just dinners out with people who started with that, first call to me. The people and the constant change of work. I leave a home and the customer is happy and smiling. I have taken the stress out of their problems, and solved them. The confidence , trust, and relief my customers have, that once they have a problem, their solution is to call Chris.

Very knowledgable!!! Definitely knows his stuff. I thought I had a roof problem. He told me my issue was from an upstairs bathroom. I didn't agree at first because of the location of the problem; but it turns out it was an issue in the bathroom solved by a tube of caulk. Saved me $1000 on un-necessary roof repair. Very honest and told me other things I should look for in the house.

I had a number of jobs that have been pilling up to include electrical repairs, door repairs, ceiling vent installs and Chris knocked them all out in just 1 visit. His price was extremely fair and don't think I could have gotten it done any cheaper. I would definitely recommend Chris to others and will be using his services for any futures installs/repairs I may need to my home in the future.

Hi, Chris, insulated the outer walls in my attic, installed a soffit vent, 2 100" panel track window treatments, 2 shades totaling 100", reinforced and insulated two openings in the outside of my villa, cleaned my dryer vent, moved the insulation covering the soffit vents in 7 hours. And was clean, neat and so very knowledgeable. I am truly impressed with his work and his work ethic. He is my extra set of hands. Thank you Chris for a job well done. Chris said he was going to be at my home at 8am and was there at 7:45. So unusual in this day. I have had to wait hours for people to show or worse yet not show.

Chris is an excellent handyman! He’s done sooo much work for us in our new home already: setting up new fans and remotes, helping with setting up our security system, putting together furniture, helping with our appliances. He’s truth-worthy and a hard worker. I highly recommend him!

Details: Yes, the location has an existing light fixture • Ceiling • Less than or equal to 8 feet high

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I do charge an initial fee. This is order to cover my expenses, ie. fuel, time, thumbtack fees.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I do ask questions. I try to figure out the best course of action for them. Time budget, goals. Recently I had a woman purchase a front door lock that wasn't very good, $12. Very cheap for a front door. I told her if she would go out a purchase a good one , I would come back for free and install it. I felt better she was safer and I would have a customer down the road. I've been back to do three other jobs for her. I do charge by the hour for most jobs. I have found it comes out fair for both sides. For larger jobs we can always discuss other ways, as well as not exceed options.
