I hired Herbert and his assistant to help me convert my van into a camper. The first project involved putting in a wood floor (over insulation) and building a bed frame. I could not be any more delighted with the result!
Herbert was extremely flexible in scheduling around my weekends. After weather washed us out X2, he gave up a Sunday to help me with my van.
Herbert kept in contact with me via text and email as we sorted out the final details. He picked up the needed supplies, arrived promptly, and did a fantastic job with the floor and bed. This was not an easy task as a van floor/walls have many challenges to work with.
The completed project is even better than I hoped for! Working with Herbert was a delight. He is professional, friendly, flexible and very kind. I look forward to hiring Herbert for several other van projects and projects for my condo.

Herbert and his colleague arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and did an outstanding job. They installed two fire alarms, a water filter and new shower head, re-caulked my bathtub, fixed my closet door, and hung some art. All in all, I am very happy with the quality of their work. They also nicely cleaned up after the job.
Details: I need help with a variety of projects, approximately 2-5 hours of work • Maintenance • Repairs • Installation • Bathroom • Living room • Closet • Interior walls • Doors • Plumbing • Electrical • Hanging pictures or mirrors • Residential • I'm ready to hire the right handyman based on price & fit
