After 20 years working in maintenance of multi-family housing units I decided to branch out on my own. I am meticulous. I do not cut corners and will get the job done right the first time. I promise you will be happy with the end result and you won't have to worry about it anymore.

Derek was awesome. Showed up right on time. Listened to my issue. Ran through some diagnostics and then quickly found the source of my dishwashers problem! It was the switch locking mechanism had failed so the washer didn’t know it was open or closed and stayed powered off!!
Derek fixed this whole thing and also corrected the improper alignment of the dishwasher itself. Now our washer is evenly lined up with the edge of the counter (we lived with it half way out and half way under the counter edge for five years!).

Responsive and honest. Good communication as well. I hired Absolute to replace what I thought was a worn out dishwasher. The tech advised the problem was not with the machine, but the drain line. This saved me $500. Thanks for being honest!

Derek was a great find and now my go to for Handyman jobs. My gutter was ripped off the front of my house in a wind storm. He repaired, took care form fitting and sealing up a corner peice and got it back up in much better condition securely fastened to my house better than before it fell. He cares about quality and will make sure it is a job well done that he would do at his own home before he is done. Choose Derek and you won't regret it. I am already lining up some other things for him I haven't been able to get to!

Derek showed up within 2 hours of asking for help. He showed up and offered a solution and when we didn't feel confident implementing it, he took it into his own hands and helped us out. Very helpful and kind. Would highly recommend him again.

I had a busted outdoor spicket that needed replacing. I also had an unfinished fence. Derek responded quickly to my request for help. He was willing to check it out the very same day. We scheduled a time that worked best for me. He text me to remind me of the appointment, and then shortly after called to let me know time had opened up on his end of I wanted him to come early. He diagnosed my first issue and saved me from having to replace the faucet like I thought I might. He showed me what he had discovered (simple fix), and was honest in saving me the expense of buying a new one.
He then offered to finish my fence. I had to negotiate the price "up" because his suggested rate didn't match the quality of work he did. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a skilled and honest handyman!
