Today Chris came and assembled a playset for me. This is a wooden set that included two swings a slide and a few other gadgets. Before speaking with Chris I received two other unrealistic quotes from companies on thumbtack and one failed attempt to assemble the play-set. Everything about this service Chris provided was top tier and exceeded my expectations. I anticipated the assembly to take at least 4-8 hours based off other companies estimate. Chris had this job completed in 2.5 hours. After completing he tested his work to ensure it was safe, stable and secure. I highly recommend and will be using again for future projects! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chris did a great job putting together our playset. What would have taken my husband a whole weekend and several arguments took him less than 12 hours. His pricing was totally reasonable as well. If you’re looking for someone to assemble your playset, you should definitely go with him!

This was such an easy process! We were able to schedule for the very next morning. He said he’d be there at 7 and be done by 10 and that’s exactly what happened! He recommended something better to help ground the play-set, brought the supplies with him, and installed them - he was such a pro! And our boys are loving their new place to play!!

We had a great experience with Slayton handyman services! He was able to move our play set from one house to another. It was all very quick and smooth! Would highly recommend.
