Recommended Customer Reviews

This guy walked me through how to fix a simple electrical problem over the phone free of charge. Seems like a nice and honest guy!

I spoke to Larry on the phone this morning about an issue I was having with my hard-wired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. He was able to help me fix this issue over the phone and was patient even when I kept telling him things that didn't make sense. :). Thank you, Larry!! I would definitely call him back if I handyman work in my condo.

He emailed me immediately and gave me a quote. He was very professional and on time. Did a great job on the electrical work. Definitely will be calling him again!

Larry was great. We are selling our condo, and the buyer's home inspector indicated our kitchen outlets were not GFCI(even though they were GFCI outlets). I checked with a few electricians and handymen, and Larry provided one of the lowest quotes to replace any non-GFCI outlets.
Larry arrived and tested the outlets to confirm they were all GFCI. I was expecting to pay the service charge even though he didn't replace any outlets, but he didn't charge me anything since it literally only took him 2 minutes to confirm they were GFCI. But Larry also did not rush out, he stayed for about 20 more minutes answering questions I had. As others have stated, he is very knowledgeable about various home repairs.
If we were not moving, we would definitely use MrDid's again.

Attitude alert! Larry didn't even try to fit me into his schedule. All I got was a rude email and no effort to try and work out a time to meet for a quote. That's a sure fire way to get rid of good customers.

After asking for a quote, the first thing Larry did was give me a suggestion of a simple thing to try to fix a lighting problem. I followed Larry's advice and the problem was fixed. You don't get honest customer service like that every day. I'll definitely be giving Larry a call the next time I have an electrical problem.

Larry is the best! He is very responsive, shows up on time, very professional and does what he says he will do. He was able to help my condo building with a door repairs that were needed due to our water heater being replaced. Again, super great.
Thanks Larry!!!!!

Larry was the best!
I asked for a quote for a small job (hanging a really heavy wall mirror and a few frames) and he let me know that he was quite busy and he was very upfront with the lead time to schedule an appt. In the meantime, he provided me a ton of helpful info., prior to even quoting the work.
The initial interaction with Larry via email made me choose him for the work (even if I had to wait). However, he got back to me once someone had cancelled and he was able to stop by and complete the job today!
I was extremely satisfied and I will definitely be a loyal customer!

I can't say enough good things about Larry! He is a great communicator and responds quickly to all questions, and he has a LOT of answers. He came out to my house to inspect some things that needed to be fixed for an upcoming home sale, and he seemed to know very quickly what was required for repairs. He even fixed a gas fireplace in my basement for no charge.
If you're in need of home repairs, give him a call, but he's booking up quickly!

I wanted to get some work done in my kitchen. I was looking for some professional handyman who are very hard to find these days. I am so glad that I found Larry on yelp. He showed up little late but boy the work he had done was impressive. He was very polite and knew what he was doing. I would definitely recommend him.
