Ed has helped me out several times now, with a range of things I've had going on. When I first called the office everything was handled very professionally, and Ed was really prompt at responding to me, I explained my issues and we set a time to meet. He assessed the work that was to be done; fallen fence, patch a large hole in the drywall, and some shingles needed to be replaced on the roof....a storm a while back hit me hard! Ed is a great communicator and lets you know when he will arrive and is always on time. He completed all of the work in a couple of visits and all to my satisfaction and a reasonable cost.
Most recently I had a few minor things, but I was on a time constraint and he was able to fit me in so I was well within the time frame I needed. Ed was again punctual, did great work and reasonably priced. I so appreciate this kind of service now days, reliability, trustworthy and cost effective. Ed is all of those things and a really nice guy! I will not hesitate to contact him again in the future.

Ed is great. Some notes on the experience:

1. I gave him the problems (a rotted eaves post, a broken exterior shed door and an old electrical panel utility box) and he came up with great solutions;
2. He was reasonably priced compared to some other people I spoke to;
3. He did custom woodwork when no pre-fab solution was available; and
4. He did a good job communicating updates and timelines.

We'll definitely call Ed again.

Big Ed did a beautiful job replacing the wood lining inside a storage seat in our living room. He measured everything, cut the wood, installed it, and put in caulking to be sure it was sealed off. We were so impressed with his work -- a real quality job. Big Ed is a pleasure to work with -- friendly, professional, punctual, and a real problem solver. We'll definitely be hiring him again!

Highly recommended for the repairs you've wanted to make but never got around to. Ed is personable, cleaned up after he'd made the repairs in several parts of the house, no clean up on my part was necessary, and everything is fine working order.

I never leave reviews- good or bad, but Big Ed has helped me on countless projects. He is extremely professional, efficient, does high quality work, and is always quick to respond! I recommend him exclusively to anyone who needs a handyman.

Big thanks to Big Ed. We contacted him to setup some string lights in the back.

He came up with a good cost efficient solution and we were really happy with the final outcome.

The best part was his responsiveness. He was fast to respond to our inquiries and just in general was very professional.

We had several broken vents outside our house and Big Ed was quick to respond to my message with reasonable quote. He was very accommodating to my schedule and was able to move around some projects to help me fix up the house. He was very polite and explained the things I needed to fix and went to work right away. I am extremely satisfied with his work and the prices were very reasonable. I will definitely hire Big Ed to fix up anything I need around the house in the near future.

I was desperate to find someone to fix a broken fence post in my backyard. The door attached to that post and I was concerned about security and was afraid the remainder of the storm might take down more of the fence.

Ed called back within 30 minutes I believe. He listened to my concerns and his voice made me feel at ease right away. He made time in his schedule to come assess the problem that afternoon. He has been punctual, straightforward and diligent. There was an unexpected finding which required more of his time and energy. He explained the situation and the necessary steps to remedy it. Yes, it ended up costing more money (certainly no fault of his own) but Ed did it the right way instead of cutting corners. I appreciate his integrity. I would definitely contact Ed again for other home projects!

We were referred to Ed by another vendor. Ed was very prompt and punctual. The job had to be done at the earliest and Ed came on a Sunday, to get started. He is very professional.

I've never had a good experience with a Handyman. They always claim to know more than they do. Ed was very honest and told me upfront, what he would do and what he wouldn't.

And the best part is, his price is very very reasonable. Our overall experience, with Ed, is very SATISFACTORY!
