Company Overview

Timely service.
I handle the little jobs.
My brother, Terrence, who runs Terrence Construction, began his journey in carpentry during the early 1990s.
From a young age, I enjoyed repairing items.
We have collaborated for over ten years on various building and remodeling projects.
While he concentrates on extensive projects, I specialize in minor repairs.
We work well together to fulfill every one of your plumbing needs.
I am a lifelong resident of Evanston, IL.
I completed my high school education at York High School in Elmhurst, IL after leaving Evanston.
I attended Knox College, then took a year to explore Europe.
In Rome, Italy, I focused on art and architecture.
Upon returning and graduating from Knox College, I sought a career.
After a few short-term jobs, I saved enough to purchase a house in Chicago to renovate and rent.
This experience deepened my understanding of construction and renovation.
I ultimately constructed my own home and launched a business that fulfilled my passion.

GRADE:F. What a disappointment, especially since they are highly rated. I should have had some inclination when I did not get a fast response to my initial request. I had to have a new kitchen faucet installed, I set it up with Patrick for a Saturday morning. After a few minutes of inspecting under the sink he says 'we have a problem"" then proceeded to tell me that the fixtures were old, the type I have no one uses any more, etc. He continued to work but sounded more frustrated as the time ticked by. Then he said I had another problem because he was not able to completely shut off the water. I have had work done before and no one ever had brought that up, including my building engineer. To make a long story short after 90 minutes with no progress Patrick said he would not be able to do it unless the water was shut off. So he left and I still had a broken faucet, no hot water in the kitchen and a new faucet still sitting on the counter. Oh and I was $75.00 poorer. I would NEVER consider this outfit again. If you want reliable work call Rocket Plumbing. They came and within a couple of hours I had my new faucet installed. It was a bit tricky and took longer because I live in an older buidling, but I was impressed with the professionalism shown by Rocket Plumbing. They didn't quit when the work got difficult.
With all his years of experience hasn't Patrick worked in old buildings before? It doesn't matter that the pipes were old, he still should have been able to do the job.

Patrick is wonderful! Responded to my email about a leaky toilet right away and did a great job getting everything fixed up quickly and for a fair price. Super nice guy and would not hesitate to call again. Highly recommended!

I had just had granite countertops installed and was looking for someone to install the faucet and connect the rest of the plumbing to the dishwaster, etc. Patrick was able to come out and do the job quickly, even installing a new garbage disposal at the same time. In addition to doing great work for a reasonable price, Patrick is the nicest guy ever. What more could you ask for?

Thanks Patrick! I was looking for someone to do small things and am always worried they are too small l for someone to actually come out. I had 4 blinds installed and two dimmer switches. I'm SO grateful. I'm sure Patrick does larger jobs, but it's really hard to find someone to help you with the small stuff. Thanks Patrick! I recommend you to anyone looking to do a remodel to the things you or your husband just can't tackle on your own.

I was looking for a local, independent handyman and was delighted to find Patrick and all of his stellar reviews on Yelp!

He has been to our home on several occasions ranging from replacing our garbage disposal to changing several different faucets and installing some tricky new light fixtures, we have been over the moon with his work after every visit!

He's a delight as a person to have in your home, very personable and pleasant. I schedule all work pertaining to the home and I've gotten the impression from other handymen in the past hat they would rather be dealing with the man of the house, not so with Patrick.

He is our go to guy for anything we need done and I've recommended him to several friends and clients and will continue to do so.

I had made a mess of my toilet by trying to do a ""simple"" installation of a diaper sprayer on my own. Once I had reached the point of no return I realized I was in trouble and had to call a plumber. I called Patrick after finding him on Yelp and he was wonderful. Luckily for me he was stuck on the expressway not far from my home and was able to get there quickly, assess the problem and run for parts. He had me up and working again in less than an hour and was very reasonably priced. I now have a wonderful working piece of equipment and have found a new handyman for any other jams that I get myself into.

I was left in a lurch when a plumber left me with a job literally half done. He actually sawed off a faucet and left my house in pieces with brass shavings all over.
Any Fix to the rescue! Even though I live beyond Patrick's normal service area, he came out within minimal time, arrived early, with parts, and worked diligently all day on my multiple bathroom/faucet issues. When he says he's efficient, you can count on it. No wasting time on the phone or eating McDonald's in my living room! He also checked some other plumbing & appliances and recommended DOING NOTHING - (who does that?! honesty is the best policy!) Beyond that he was polite and pleasant - even my evil dogs liked him! Two thumbs up for this good jack-of-all-trades.

Pat placed in the sink, toilet and shower in our basement bathroom renovation and did a fantastic job! It was a challenge matching new fixtures on old parts but Pat had the experience and knowledge to finish the project successfully and on time.

Gave AnyFix a call this morning after seeing the great reviews. Our basement was flooding. Patrick came in within 10 minutes and immediately assessed the problem within a few minutes of arriving. Within 20 minutes he corrected the problem and was on his way. There was a pipe that was incorrectly installed in our drainage system and he just reconnected it. He could have lied (like many do) and tell us we needed a replacement of this part or that part. He didn't and that was refreshing!

If you are looking for an HONEST Plumber/Handyman in the Evanston area, PLEASE Call Patrick and AnyFix. I definitely program his number in my phone in case my parents lose his business card!
