A recent Google customer had Diligent Handyman fix a storm door closer and a glass shower door, and said he showed up when he was supposed to, got the needed parts and made the repairs. On the company website, Kai Bailin introduces himself as its founder, serving Belchertown, Amherst and the surrounding Pioneer Valley. A 2026 Google reviewer hired the company to paint several rooms, install a bathroom faucet and do repairs on the exterior of the house. That 2026 customer said he arrived exactly when he said he would and kept them updated on his progress. A 2025 Google reviewer wrote that Kai showed up to give an estimate and do one hour's worth of small tasks, and ended up staying almost five hours because the customer kept thinking of "one more thing!" That 2025 customer said he was very conscientious about house rules on shoes and pets. A 2025 Google reviewer wrote that Diligent Handyman repainted and installed a new closet system, recalked kitchen tiles, replaced a motion sensor light and installed a bathroom sink, with all the work completed in two days. A 2024 Google reviewer said the company had fixed a leaky kitchen faucet and a leaky toilet and drained the water from the gutters away from the house, and called his estimates thorough and detailed. Its BBB grade is A+. Its MA home improvement contractor (HIC) licence, number 211693, with Infinite Wolves LLC as holder of record, is active on the state registry.
We had him fix the storm door closer and a glass shower door. He showed up when he was supposed to, got the needed parts and made the repairs. I am very pleased with the professionalism and will definitely use him the future.
I recently hired Diligent Handyman to paint several rooms, install a bathroom faucet, and do repairs the exterior of my house, and I am very happy with the results. He handled both the interior painting and the exterior repairs with great attention to detail. He was consistently timely and arrived exactly when he said he would. He was pleasant to have around the property and maintained a professional, friendly attitude throughout the project. Communication was also excellent. He was very responsive to my questions and kept me updated on his progress. If you need a reliable professional for home repairs or painting, I highly recommend his services.
Poor Kai. He showed up to give an estimate and to do one hour's worth of small tasks and ended up staying almost five hours because I kept thinking of 'one more thing!' I needed done. He was efficient and skillful and very conscientious about house rules (re shoes, pets). So easy to work with, will definitely have him back.
What a joy to have one handyman who can expertly complete a list of household repairs. The Diligent Handyman repainted and installed a new closet system, recalked kitchen tiles, replaced a motion sensor light, and installed a bathroom sink – all the work completed in 2 days and all if it done with skill and care. True to his name he was extremely diligent in his communication, task execution, and clean-up. I highly recommend him!
The Diligent Handyman has done several jobs for me including fixing a leaky kitchen faucet, a leaky toilet and draining the water from my gutters away from my house. He is exceptionally conscientious, professional and careful in his work. His estimates are thorough and detailed. He is a man with exceptional integrity. I highly recommend The Diligent Handyman and his work.
