Ernesto did a fantastic job fixing things around my house. He was on time, did great work, and the price was really fair. He even finished a few extra jobs! I’d definitely hire him again!

I highly recommend Northern Illinois Handyman. After I reached out, he was scheduled and at our home within 24 hours. He assembled a race car bed for my son and a hall tree in under 3 hours. In addition to building the furniture securely, he handled all the unpacking and removed all the trash and packaging materials when he finished. He was fast, reliable, and left the space completely clean. I will definitely contact him again for future furniture assembly needs.

Details: 3 items • Cabinets • Bed frame • Desk or table • Yes, I have assembly instructions or make and model information

Ernesto contacted me promptly, was good at keeping in touch. I had to change the date and he was very accommodating. The work was done well and he cleaned up the left over junk. He’s a very nice guy and I’d use him again.
