About
***Thumbtack charges me massive fees if you proceed or not. I am a small business that trys to keep cost down for both you and I. Please do not choose us if you are not serious or looking for more that 3 estimates. Many people will choose 4 plus contractors or not respond at all. We get charged up to $300 each lead regardless. Thumbtack does not advertise the huge cost incurred to pros so just being transperant from the getgo. Handy Helper + is prompt, thorough, and provides a quality service. Nothing makes me happier than a happy customer!Providing quality work and seeing the customer happy they hired me. We've done it all over the years and if we dont, can offer a referral. Today, we specialize in painting, deck repairs, flooring, handyman, pressure washing, full remodels etc

Installed Govee permanent outdoor lights. Kevin was on time and is a nice guy. Worked hard to complete quickly. Knew what he was doing! Installed into the soffits, not just in top with the adhesive. Looks great!! We are so pleased. Will likely add more lights around rest of the house and call Handy Helpers. Looking for others projects as well.
