Gary was very responsive and professional. The project that I called him for was a problem I was having with my front screen door. Turned out it was something that could not be repaired. He researched the part himself ordered it and replaced it the same day the new equipment was delivered. I would recommend him for any handyman job and will use him for any of my future needs.

We had a great experience working with Gary!He was extremely responsive, punctual, and professional throughout the entire process. He was also very flexible and easy to work with, which made everything smooth and stress-free. He went above and beyond by helping us purchase the necessary materials for the repairs, always checking in and updating us before making any purchases. His attention to detail and clear communication made a big difference. The quality of his work was excellent, and we’re very happy with the results. Highly recommend him for any home repair or handyman needs — we’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!

I had a complicated installation, and Gary was fantastic. We communicated before the job, so that he was able to arrive prepared and on schedule. He worked efficiently and neatly. He also hung two other pieces in a jiffy. His prices were fair, which was a bonus! I would recommend him and will use him again.

Very easy process all the way through. Less than 24 hours after connecting with Gary Zeal, my new mail box is installed and he also fixed a door of mine that was sticking, and all at a reasonable price. Nice guy. Responsive. Flexible. On Time. Made it all easy.
