Recommended Customer Reviews

Big Ed the Handyman removed my old toilet and install a new one that I had purchased. He arrived on time and completed the project in about 30 minutes. He's a very friendly guy and seems to know how to do a lot of projects. I will certainly be calling him again!

Finding Ed was a dream! We were referred to him by our pest control guy when a mouse or rat decided to make its way under our newer deck. Ed came by within 24 hours of contacting him to fully rat proof our deck. He and his son were both kind, professional, reliable, neat and timely. I cannot say enough good things about Ed. I will be using him for any handyman needs from this point on.
Thank you, Ed!

A very easy business to work with. I had a kitchen faucet to replace and a leaking hot water spigot to remove from my kitchen sink which had just enough challenges to make me question whether or not I wanted to do it myself. Ed was easy to schedule and he was very clear upfront about the work to be done and the cost. A no brainer to have him and his son-in-law do the work, saving me time and piece of mind.

Ed is the best! I've called him for so many different things over the years! From fences, to holes around the house where critters were getting in. His prices are more then fair, he does an amazing job and is super quick to respond and comes to help me out fast! I couldn't recommend a better handyman!

Contacted Ed to inquire about installation of a new Kitchen Faucet. Ed responded promptly and we were able to schedule a time a couple of days later. Ed arrived at the scheduled time slot and did an excellent job of taking out our old faucet and replacing it with our new one. Very courteous and professional service and reasonably priced. Will definitely use again.

Ed is everything you would wish for: a breadth of knowledge and skills, timely, professional and personable. He was willing to take on an unusual project for us, installing custom spice racks with some challenges, but he has already done an array of things for us. So glad I spied his van in Emerald Hills -- he is our ""go-to"" guy now!!

What an excellent handyman! Ed has the perfect blend of experience and knowledge to do a job right. Every task we threw out him he breezed through. Highly recommended!

Ed has done 2 projects for us so far. The first was a rehab of our little garden. The 2nd was a 3 day project to install baseboard upstairs in all 3 bedrooms and the landing, which has 5 doors. Ed is professional, neat, covid- wise, and very competent. He'll be doing all my home projects!

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.
