Hi there, yes it was truly a socially distanced job in the beginning. As it was, you got the drawer prepared for me and I was a le to fix it quickly. We found another small nuisance item you'd been dealing with and I was so pleased to solve it for you while I was there. Happy to help, thanks so juché for your review! Call anytime!

modify and reinstall aluminium downspout

Andrew arrived promptly, quickly understood our requirements, and immediately got to work with a will. He worked non-stop until the job was completed. He was a pleasure to deal with and we feel we got a very good job for a fair price.
Andrew told us he is skilled at tackling most 'handy man', and we've put his number in our contacts list in case we have other needs.
Thanks Andrew. It was nice to meet you.

Great Communication!

I contacted Andrew regarding completing several handyman projects including installing a new bathroom vanity. Andrew communicated well with me from our initial conversation to even after the job was completed. Andrew takes pride in his work and wants to ensure his work is completed to your satisfaction. He doesn't take on a task that's not in his skill sets and is willing to admit that is the case. Andrew was willing to go above and beyond to resolve any issues that came along on his journey to completing the projects. It was lovely working with Andrew and I would definitely recommend him for handyman services.
