I would definitely recommend using Nick! He did a great job installing some glides to make my pull-out shelves sturdier so they can hold up to 100 pounds. That will solve some of my storage problems and hep to reduce some countertop clutter. He's coming back today to install a new screen on my balcony door, and is helping me with a problem with my kitchen faucet. I really appreciated that Nick was E-mailing me several times before getting here yesterday to let me know he was on his way. He was very professional and helpful and just a really nice guy. I plan to use him again in the future and will tell my family and friends that he's definitely worth having to do any work for them!

Nick is partway through a fencing project for us right now, and so far the work he has done has been great! We have several different types of fencing needs—gate rehanging/resetting, retaining wall repair, wood fence straightening, and adding a new fence section—and Nick is helping with all of it. Pros: high quality work, clear, itemized contract up front, great advice and opinions on how he could make various repairs, and a nice, easygoing personality

Details: Home • Replace fence or gate • Wood • 51 - 100 feet • Height recommended by pro • No fence obstacles exist in the work area

I hired Nick to change two exterior door thresholds, put up some interior trim around one door, and put up two shelves in my bathroom. On my estimate he was charging $35 for fasteners.. meaning nails, screws, etc… (he basically had a bucket of rusty mismatched nails/screws)One of the thresholds I’m happy with, except for the fact he used both screws and nails on the door sill… one of the thresholds he “misunderstood “ and didn’t complete, (only changed half of it) although that took three hours… the interior trim he used three inch drywall screws to fasten it to the wall instead of finishing nails.. not only did he use screws, he used three different types of screws and never drilled screw holes, so the screws were sticking out of the wood, so I couldn’t even fill them In and sand over them.. they were also stripped, so It was really difficult to remove them… he also glued the trim to the wall??? Now I can’t take the trim off with out replacing the drywall underneath! I had to remove all the screws in the trim fill in holes and sand them… he never got to the shelves! I reached out to Nick right after he left to express my disappointment.. he never responded…it seems like just another guy who bought tools during the pandemic and called themselves a handyman… I’ve run into quite a few on this site! I think I’ve finally learned my lesson!

Nick both repaired a damaged fence and built a new fence for us. He was super easy to work with and a creative problem solver. He does great work came back to double check something I didn’t even know was an issue and made it even better. You can tell he takes pride in his work. We have hired him for other jobs since then and we have been happy with his communication and work ethic. Highly recommend!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I try to be fair with my pricing, both with customers and with myself. I take into account the local economy and typical rates for similar work. At the same time, I recognize the personal situations and unique considerations of each client. If you engage my services, you'll find that my ideal outcome is one that we both walk away from satisfied.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I was a kid that grew up building with Legos for hours, or constructing enormous dug-out forts in the backyard, or roaming the woods with a backpack full of snacks, a handful of nails, and an old blunt hatchet. In my 20s, I began to realize the utility of my innate abilities and creativity. Frankly, it was cheaper for me to build or fix an item myself. I have professional experience in several trades, including fence installation, Carpentry, Painting, Landscaping, Delivery driving, etc. I put myself through college twice, graduating magna cum laude. Although the pandemic has put some of my career plans on hold, I have found enjoyment and marketability in the skills I possess.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Homeowners who: -are in need of practical solutions -are interested in improving their living space -require timely maintenance or repairs -wish to accommodate changes in their day-to-day lives -are dissatisfied with prior contract work by others
