    Handyman

    I am very pleased with the job that Carlos did in repairing my broken daybed frame. He was very knowledgeable, efficient, and professional. I recommend Fixer to anyone who needs a Handyman. I will definately use them again if needed.

    Handyman

    I had been told that I would need to replace a very large metal ceiling annex door in my Condo . Fixer came in and said that the door did not need replacing but the home inspector failed to close it properly. Fixer saved me almost 3000. Which was the cost quoted by another contractor. Thank you fixer as always, you are the best.

    Handyman

    Very responsive, professional, and punctual. The price, however, was nearly double the average per hour in our area. Noone else responded to the job, so, unfortunately, I was not afforded the opportunity to choose between professionals.

    Handyman

    They were excellent! We just needed to remove old bathroom cabinets and install new one including pluming work. They were first at responding with quote, always come back with more information we asked. Showed up on time, finished so quick and great job! They even cleaned up all the mess for us. They did adjust total amount since one of vanity didn’t arrive by Menerds. No hidden fee! We will definitely ask them again. Highly recommended.
