MIchael D. says, "5 Stars — Exceptional Service, Skill, and Genuine Kindness We traveled from Virginia to Illinois and needed a handyman on very short notice to assemble quite a bit of furniture. I found this handyman through Thumbtack, and I could not have been more pleased with the experience. When he arrived, he acknowledged that he had not realized how much furniture there was to assemble. Rather than being discouraged or trying to renegotiate the job, he simply said he was willing to work as long as possible to get it completed. I told him I would work alongside him, with each of us assembling furniture in separate rooms. That is when his level of service really stood out. I did not have tools with me, and when he overheard me mention that to my wife, he immediately offered to let me use his. He even went back to his car to get additional tools for me. As we worked, he would periodically check on my progress, offering advice or assistance when he saw that I could use it. At one point, he noticed I was working on my knees. He offered his knee pad and went back to his car to get another - the third time he went to his car to assist me. Meanwhile, his own work was incredibly efficient. He assembled two bedroom dressers that seemed to have a million pieces, and he made it look easy. Projects that were taking me well over an hour, he was completing in less than 30 minutes. After finishing his own work, he noticed that I had made a mistake assembling an end table. He did not criticize it or leave it for me to figure out. He took it apart, corrected my mistake, reassembled it properly, and finished the job. What impressed my wife and me most was not simply his skill. It was his attitude. He was pleasant, courteous, gracious, patient, and genuinely service oriented throughout the entire experience. His pricing was also more than reasonable, particularly given the amount of work completed and the quality of his service. Without a doubt, he is one of the most efficient and service oriented handymen I have ever encountered. He did far more than assemble furniture. He saw where he could help, stepped in without being asked, and treated us with genuine kindness throughout the process. An easy 5.0 out of 5. I would hire him again without hesitation and recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone who combines exceptional workmanship with exceptional service."See more
