I started with my brother in law and older sister who were property owners in wicker park. I was about 15 at the time. We would gut out non residential property and convert them into condos.

Very Professional! My parents were having issues with their toliet. Their handyman rodded it several times. Uncle O discovered a part in the toliet that was broken and needed to be replaced. He saved them money and the hassel of purchasing a new toliet by replacing the piece that was broken. I will definitely use his services again.

Very professional work, applied drywall to a complicated situation involving an exposed wall with external piping. Per my request he created openings for certain access pipes but did this in an artful manner. Otis is a cheerful professional who completed the work promptly in a short period of time and left my condo without any debris or signs he was there, just a perfect wall. Very reasonable price.

Mr. Otis was extremely professional, friendly and polite, and gave us a very good price quote on what the repairs would cost and the time frame. He was on time and responds very quickly and in a timely manner. He is definitely being added to our contacts as our appliance repair guy. Definitely give him a call for all your appliance repairs, you won't regret it!!

From quote to installation, I was extremely satisfied with the process and results. Team was knowledgeable and made sure to educate me every step of the way with what they were doing. They also came out a day early just to double check they would have everything to complete the furnace installation on the actual day of work. Would definitely hire again.
