Forrest the Handyman is awesome! We hired him to a number of small projects from fixing a pantry door to installing a shower head. John fixed everything efficiently and with high equality. He is easy going and a good communicator. I would rehire him again in a heartbeat.

Forrest did a superb job removing my old attic ladder and installing a new one. It was an unusual and more difficult bit of work as the new ladder had to have its sections detached, cut to be shortened to fit my limited swing clearance (due to a nearby door frame) and then reattached with new hinge holes. The end product is exactly what I was hoping for, and I look forward to working with Forrest again in future.
