About
I’ve been in business for myself since 2013 and have worked in the industry since I exited the US Army in 1994. I had an account on here before with a 4.8 star out of 5 average with over 75 reviews and was top pro in 2017 but it got lost so I had to start over with a new account. Customer satisfaction is my number one priority and I will not accept payment until you as a customer is 100 percent satisfied with my work I’ve done for you. I will not ask for money up front unless the materials cost more than $100 and then I will ask for a material Advance or have you go with me and pay for the materials yourself. My prices are very reasonable and competitive and I will work with you if the cost is more than your budget will allow at moment. This is how I make my living and not a hobby or side job so I take it very seriously and will not do anything that will damage my reputation as a top notch handyman. I like the smaller jobs that only take one person as I work alone and try to complete the job the same day I bid on it if possible. So feel free to call on me the Helpful Handyman for all your home repairs no matter how small or what time of day it is. I offer 24 hr emergency service for those middle of the night mishaps. If you are current or prior military or first responder after I quote my price let me know and I will drop %10 off the quoted price
