## The honest read

Handy Dad Home Solutions is Jason Wertz's owner-operated handyman business in Milton, founded in 2017 after he left government and military construction contracting to spend less time traveling away from his family. Google shows a 4.8-star average from 22 ratings.

The reviews describe a wide range of small-to-mid jobs done well: shelving and a custom laundry-room shelf, interior doors and a storm door hung so "everything fits perfectly," painted rooms and refinished hardwood floors, a heavy 150-pound mirror mounted securely, lock and drainage repairs, and full bathroom overhauls including a new shower floor and a living room ceiling. In a 2021 review, a customer credited him with explaining that a full shower gut wasn't actually needed, saving money by installing just a new water pan instead — the kind of judgment call that keeps coming up alongside the praise for tidy, communicative work.

The one clear miss on record: a 2022 review describes paying a down payment for a storm door, being told to expect it by January, and then getting no response to texts, calls or emails for weeks afterward. It stands out against an otherwise consistent run of 5-star reviews stretching into 2026, but it's a real account worth weighing.

Worth asking directly about current lead times and getting a firm delivery date in writing for any job that involves special-order parts.

**Strengths:**
- Wide range of jobs — shelving, doors, floors and full bathroom overhauls
- Saved a customer money — a 2021 review credits skipping an unneeded shower gut
- Consistently clean and communicative — reviewers repeatedly praise tidiness and updates

**Concerns:**
- Unanswered down payment — a 2022 review describes weeks of no response over a door
