A 2025 customer wrote that Mr. White replaced the kitchen countertops for that customer and their wife, and called the work very professional. Chickys Handyman Services says on its website that it has been in business for 25 years. A 2024 customer, recommended to the company by a friend, said Chris and his team did complete makeovers of the kitchen and dining room, from the tile work to the paint, and stayed within that customer's budget. A 2025 customer hired Chris White for a small job: moving a short wall from the kitchen into the dining room so a new refrigerator would fit. That 2025 customer said he took down a small cabinet, then the main large cabinet came down with the dishes and a coffee canister, and before leaving he asked for $100 for his time. The same 2025 customer said calls, voicemails and emails asking for his insurance information got no response.

Wow, Mr.White the work you did replacing my wife's and I kitchen counter tops is very satisfying and very professional! We will gladly have you back for future projects! Thanks again and God bless!
Don’t hire!! This business is completely unprofessional, incompetent and rude! We hired Chris White to do a small job of moving a short wall from my kitchen into my dining room so a new refrigerator we just purchased would fit. Chris came to look at the job and after my husband explaining to him what we wanted done , he accepted the job and gave us a quote and told us he would be back the following Tuesday to do the job. On Tuesday, March 18th, he showed up and came in and first looked around and immediately commented “ I thought your husband said he was going to take out the small cabinet above the refrigerator himself”. I told him that what he said was that if he got a chance he would try to do that ahead of time for him. He was immediately annoyed at that response and that it wasn’t done. He was huffing and puffing and breathing heavily and loudly and making remarks out loud. I was sitting in the living room next to the kitchen working on my lap top and holding my small dog. I guess after a while and a lot of struggling he got the small cabinet out and then a few moments later I heard an extremely loud crash and him like yelling” oh my god , oh my god I can’t believe this is happening “ I ran into the kitchen and my main large cabinet came down with all my dishes, and a coffee canister with coffee beans in it were scattered and broken everywhere all over my kitchen floor and into my dining room area as well, I saw his vacuum he brought inside my house just sitting there so I immediately grabbed it and started vacuuming up the mess myself. While I was doing that, he was literally just like standing there holding my broken cabinet and yelling that he couldn’t believe that happened and blaming my husband that our cabinets were never installed properly?? Like 15 years ago??? He never apologized for breaking the cabinet and never offered to help me or tell me that I shouldn’t be on the floor cleaning up his mess!! It was insane! He finally put the broken cabinet down on the floor in my dining room and told me he was going to Home Depot to buy some glue?? I was like ok and when he left I called my husband and told him what happened and sent him a video of what my kitchen now looked like. He was like why was he even touching that big cabinet it had nothing to do with the job he was hired to do. He said he was going to call him and tell him to just go back to my house and get his things and just leave before he broke anything else. When he got back he told me what my husband said and got his stuff and before he left he had the audacity to ask me for $100 for his time he spent in my home??? Which was literally like 2 hours tops and all he did was take down the small cabinet and then literally break my other cabinet along with my set of everyday dishes, and a coffee canister containing a pound of expensive coffee beans???!! I gave him the money and as he was walking out he said” well if your husband wants anything else broken let me know”??? I just didn’t know what to say!! After waiting a day to see if I would hear from him again at all to like apologize or maybe feel bad and return my $100 , I called the two numbers for him and got no answer and left voicemails asking him to please get back to me with his insurance information so we could file a claim with them to help us out with paying for a new cabinet or possibly all new cabinets because when my husband got home that night and looked at it and realized it was broken where we couldn’t put it back up , he called Kraft Maid , the company we bought it from years ago , and they told him that one did not seem to be available any longer. I also emailed him like 3 times asking for the insurance information as well and went on his website chat box and did the same thing twice. I still have gotten NO RESPONSE AT ALL from any of those communications I contacted him through!!! What I do have to say now to anyone who might be considering hiring him , DO NOT DO IT!!!! UNPROFESSIONAL, RUDE, IGNORANT INCOMPETENT PERSON AND BUSINESS!!!!!
I was recommended Chicky’s Handyman by a friend. I needed some updating to my kitchen and dining room.Complete make overs. From the tile work to the paint. I couldn’t be happier! Chris and his team were very easy to work with. Staying within my budget! I’m going to call them again for sure for future projects.
