Verified Homeowner

"Called them on a Tuesday morning and their technician arrived by 1:30 PM with a warm smile and clean shoe covers. He fixed our sticking front door, installed a new ceiling fan in the master bedroom, and patched two holes from our old alarm system. Incredibly polite, clean, and upfront about the cost. A breath of fresh air!"

"We had a list of 6 annoying fixes we put off for over a year. He brought all the right tools, covered our hardwood floors with clean drop cloths, and knocked out everything in under 4 hours. No mess left behind, and the final bill was exactly what was promised."

"Unlike the random handymen on gig apps who canceled twice, The Smart Handyman texted 20 minutes before arriving, showed up in uniform, and did top-notch work. He even took the time to show us how the new smart lock app worked before leaving."

Marcus & Lisa T.

Garbage disposal, smart lock & vanity faucet
Verified Homeowner

"Very knowledgeable and respectful. You can tell they have real contractor background because he caught a small framing issue on our side gate and fixed it properly so it won't sag again. Truly friendly service that we will call every single time."
