About
I'm a skilled handyman and remodeling contractor with 17 years of experience. '88-'93 then 2014-present. I've helped clients with a wide range of repair and remodeling needs, including decking, bathrooms, basements, kitchens, tiling, flooring, drop ceilings, organizational spaces, and all types of carpentry. Operating in Northern New Jersey, I can handle any job, big or small, with the support of a reliable team when needed. I'm dependable, offer reasonable prices, and consistently deliver high-quality results. Throughout the project, I communicate clearly to ensure my clients are satisfied from start to finish. I love what I do and enjoy making my clients' homes better for them. Please let me know how I can help.
I charge $65 per hour with a 2 hour minimum, so $130 minimum service charge per visit. I prefer to be paid in cash if possible. I will discuss and give estimates over the phone and via pictures for free. If you require an in person estimate I charge 65 which goes towards the labor cost if you choose to have me do the work. I am flexible with scheduling and hours so that I am as helpful as possible to my clients.

Laird did a great job on my repair. He fixed the brackets that held my dishwasher to the cabinets. He replaced both screws with better quality ones and repaired a crack. The work took less time than expected and he honored that by charging me a very fair price. I would hire him again!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Laird is an absolute professional. He installed all the light fixtures, ceiling fans and tv mounts in my new house. Everything came out perfectly and he was upfront and transparent about his pricing. His pricing was better than all other quotes I received. He communicated all the details about the job ahead of time and during the job. Got everything done quickly and cleaned up everything when he was done, leaving us with a clean space ready to sit back and enjoy our new lights, fans and tv mounts. 10/10!

Laird was a delight to work with. He communicated with me right away with great professionalism and expertise. I was in no hurry, but he literally came right over and took care of our project. While he was at our home, we casually asked him about a separate project for down the road and he enthusiastically completed it right then. Very respectful. A+. Would give 10 stars if we could. Thank you, Laird! You will be our first call for any handyman tasks in the future!!
