This company was so honest which I greatly appreciated! I contacted them with the intent to replace my utility closet door but they came over and were able to fix it. They advised that it will eventually need to be replaced and I definitely will be calling them back when I’m ready to do it!

Cuco was the person Veteran put in my job. Professional and punctual plus his knowledge for the assigned task was top notch. Tony is my contact at Veteran and was responsive and he put the right person for the task described to him over the phone.
Veteran is now my go to guy for all repairs needed for my home.
Thank you again

I had some simple things that needed to be moved from my To-do to Done list. Veteran Built Homes' handy man took care of my 3 items, a doorbell installation, a new bracket to hang my guitar, and a new shower head to replace my leaky one. Very professional service and they took the time to explain everything in detail.

Working with Veteran Built Homes was an amazing experience. Cuco the Handyman, came out on time, Very professional, and He explained to me what needed to be fixed, and showed me what needed to be and why. He replaced my old dishwasher, and while replacing it he noticed a line loose and could cause bigger issues if not fixed. He shut the water off and took all the extra steps to make sure nothing happened until It was completely fixed the right way. I was so happy he caught that. I recommend Veteran Built Homes all the way. From Handyman work to Home remodeling. I will be using them again!

One of the tasks was to sand paint bubbles on my exterior front door and repaint the entire door. I was not satisfied with the result because there was new paint drip lines left and the sanded and repainted areas was left with visible scratches underneath the new paint. After the job I was completed, a project manager told me that the only way to make it smooth is to sand the whole door down to the metal, then repaint it. He added it would be more cost effective to replace the door. Had I been given that advice up front, I would have taken his advice. In addition I had other painting of exterior trim, corking that was don satisfactorily. Lastly as far as clean-up, there was painters prep tape, left on my porch and removed during inspection and paint drippings left on my garage door, which was removed after revisit. Overall they did a good job.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We provide fair and transparent pricing based on the scope, complexity, and materials involved in your project. Each estimate is customized to your specific needs—no cookie-cutter pricing. We’re happy to work within your budget range and can offer good/better/best options when available. Our proposals are broken down clearly so you know exactly what you're getting. As a veteran-owned company, integrity is at the heart of what we do—you'll never get surprise charges or hidden fees.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We keep things simple and straightforward. Depending on the type of project, we’ll either provide an hourly rate or ask for pictures and a brief description so we can estimate how long the work will take. Based on that, we’ll send over an estimate for your review.
If everything looks good and you're ready to move forward, we’ll send you a link to our scheduling page where you can choose a date and time that works best for you. From there, we’ll confirm the appointment and get your project underway.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our technicians bring over 30 years of hands-on experience in the trades, with backgrounds in carpentry, electrical, plumbing, and general remodeling. Many of our team members have completed formal trade training, and several are military veterans who apply the same discipline and attention to detail they learned in service to every project.
