Carpenter ants had eaten into the support columns of one customer's deck until it wasn't safe to walk on. A recent customer said the estimator, Frank, showed up early, and on the day the job started two carpenters were at work by 9:00 AM and finished the repair by 3:00 PM.

Had two good experiences with LG Handyman. Both jobs were repairs to existing structures and were handled professionally and skillfully. Had a minor repair to some doors to a shed, and some framing repairs to an existing deck. Very satisfied with the results. Office is very professional and works with you to schedule the work to be done. Crews were polite, professional and on time.
LG Handyman is hands down the best team you could ever hire! We could never have gotten our new condo ready and our house prepared for sale without them.Their attention to detail is unmatched, they are incredibly easy to work with, and they complete every single task quickly without sacrificing quality. The entire crew—Juan, Steve, Jason, Cody and Tony—is fantastic. A special shoutout goes to Frank, who not only keeps all the projects moving but does it expeditiously and always with a kind, professional, humorous manner. If you need reliable, fast, and meticulous work done, look no further than this team. We highly recommend them!
Highly recommend LG Handyman needed my attic steps replaced or so I thought they came promptly and told me replacing not needed they fixed the problem, tuned up all the connections for a fraction of the cost of replacing. Very professional and honest.
These folks are professional beyond belief. They installed 14 doors for us in 2 days. They cleaned up the work site (including vacuuming) spic and span. We are over the moon happy that we chose LG Handyman and plan to use them again in the near future!
I recently found out that carpenter ants had infested the support columns of our deck to the point where it wasn’t safe to walk on. I panicked. I called a carpenter that had done some deck work in the neighborhood and left a message. Then I thought about it and remembered that we had use LG Handyman Services for a small job a few years ago. So, I called them. First of all, the call was answered right away by a woman that seemed genuinely anxious to help. We immediately scheduled an appointment with their estimator. The estimator, Frank, showed up early and reviewed the damage. He explained what they would do and put us at ease that they could handle it…no problem. The next day I received Frank’s estimate and it was totally reasonable. Okay, when can you start? I was expecting, “well we’re busy…so, maybe a month”. Nope…how about tomorrow? (The recent heavy rain pushed the start back by two days). But, the next day one guy dropped off the lumber before 7:00 AM and by 9:00 AM two carpenters were at work. They were nice and professional. They finished the repair by 3:00 PM that same day. I couldn’t have been happier with their work.
