Other handymen either left me on read or didn’t show up at all, which was incredibly frustrating. Alex was the complete opposite. He is reliable, communicative, and does exactly what he says he will. He shows up on time, gets the job done, and clearly knows what he’s doing across a range of tasks. He’s the kind of handyman you keep in your back pocket because you know you can actually count on him.

Such a great experience! Showed up with a great attitude for a frustrating project, did more work than we had originally agreed upon, and very fair pricing. Will hire again for many future projects!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    I start by asking as many questions as I need to fully understand what the customer is looking for. I like to see photos of the project beforehand when possible so I can show up prepared with the right tools and materials. I give a clear price upfront, complete the work efficiently and cleanly, and always follow up to make sure the customer is happy with the results.

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

    I have always been someone who likes to figure out how things work and fix them myself. Over the years I built up my skills doing projects around my own home and for friends and family. Eventually people started asking me to help them with their projects too and I realized I had a real knack for it. I decided to turn it into a business so I could do what I love every day.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I have worked with homeowners, renters, landlords and small business owners throughout the St. Louis area. Every customer and every project is a little different which is honestly one of my favorite things about this work. Whether it is a small repair or a bigger project I bring the same level of care and attention to every job.
