Dan is personable, professional, and masterful in all the work that he does. I will definitely be using his services again in the future! Thanks again, Dan!
Dan has done several jobs for us, and has been great each time! He consistently gets the job done for a wide range of small projects.
Dan took the time to discuss options and found a solution that was cost effective and worked well. He is knowledgeable, efficient and a pleasure to work with.
I have worked with Dan and Denise multiple times over the years. Last year to assemble a trampoline and this past week to replace the pull out garbage can assembly in my kitchen cabinets. Both times he was prompt, efficient, knowledgeable, and reasonbly- priced. I will call Dan next time I need help around the house!
One of the best experiences I've had working with a contractor for home repairs. Dan is a funny, knowledgeable, hardworking, punctual and fair individual. I am so pleased with the outcome of his work. Highly recommend Handy for Hire for your home project needs!
