We had a difficult dilemma with a previous homeowner making home alterations without city permits. Smart & Handy was hired to work help us return laundry hookups and relocate a water heater. From the first point of contact, Smart & Handy was prompt and laid out a realistic plan of action and cost involved, especially given the degree of unknowns involved from previous renovations. The final results were very polished and precise. Their work ethic and diligence was also a reflection of their professionalism. We passed final city inspection without a hitch ! Thank you, Smart & Handy.

I called three times since last week. Mail box is always full and no one answers. Then I left a message by clicking ""Quote"" and no reply. Therefore, I give one star because if they don't start with a good customer service, how would they help you?

Dave returned a call for my request on Yelp within 1 hour and scheduled a meeting in his office to do initial consaltation for my project. I feel so lucky to meet Dave at this early stage in searching for general contractors, the meeting was so educational. Smart & handy is obviously an well organized business. Dave is very professional, experienced, the most important, is very patient to a potential client like me who asks all the stupid questions. The meeting today easily deserves my 5 stars rating!

Dave was literally the one person who called me directly, out of the six contractors that I reached out to on yelp about two hours ago. I current have water damage in my unit and needed to reach out to a contractor asap. Not only did he take time out of his busy schedule to call me right away, but even though there seems to be a possibility that I wasn't going to be able to go through work with him (due to handling of insurance claims and their recommends) I never felt like Dave was giving me the quick run around. He was patiently explaining how I can best handle my scenario and his advice was very reassuring. He stuck through the call with me and answered all questions I had. I got the impression that Dave is a very considerate and caring person that can be relied upon. If I have any future construction needs, I will definitely be looking to Dave to get the job done.

I was very relieved to find Dave and his team to help modify our bathroom for accessibility concerns. They did a great job offering solutions which included widening our door and placement of grab bars for safety. They were very compassionate and trustworthy. I appreciated how thoughtful they were about protecting our home and cleaning up extremely well. They also held true to their bid even though the project took longer than I expected. I will definitely hire Smart and Handy again.

Dave from Smart and Handy was the contractor for our bathroom, wall and flooring, and fireplace remodel. He also put in a beautiful new built in entertainment center. Throughout the experience he and his subs were professional, thorough, and reliable. Dave has some great ideas on functional design, but also was willing to work with our interior designer on details. When something went amiss (and something always does) he readily responded and solved the delemma. Our house is lovely and we are planning to go ahead with another bathroom upgrade soon.

I called Dave for some advice on repairs based upon a home inspection report and he emailed me a thorough list of his recommendations and cost estimates the same day! He also called to ensure that I understood everything and gave some great advice on further testing that we needed. I will definitely call upon Dave for future work to be done on our house. Thank you!

Though they weren't able to help with my small job in a short time frame, they were courteous to return my call within about an hour which I really appreciated.

We would definitely hire David at Smart and Handy again! We needed a flat screen tv wall mounted and the wiring run through the wall in our company showroom so I searched 'electricians' on Yelp. I sent several requests for quotes out and David was one of the first to respond with a quote much lower than the first one I had received. We were also limited on time, so needed the job done quickly. From the time I accepted the quote to the actual install was 1 1/2 business days. He was on time, did a great job and left the room as clean as when he found it. Thanks, David for living up to your reviews :)

My father is elderly and was having mobility issues due to arthritis and a stroke. When this happens to most of us for the first time we don't know what option there are to allow our parents to remain independant. I contacted Dave because I needed someone to make knowledgable recommendation. He did exactly that. What I most appreciated was his patience with my father and that he did not push for major modification right away. We addressed the immediate concerns and I learned from Dave that as the mobility issues worsen we could revisit for addition modification.
