We had a great experience working with Max for several different tasks around our home - he fixed our kitchen drawers, assembled furniture and hung a few items for us all in a few hours. He was very professional and efficient!
I contacted Max to have my front steps repainted and he responded immediately to my quote request. Not only did he finish my steps quickly and beautifully, he noticed that my mailbox wasn’t on a post (honestly not something I ever thought about). He went back to the store, got a post, installed my mailbox, touched up the paint and stained the post. He did all of this in 2 hours! He is professional, efficient, and very reasonable. I will definitely be calling Max for my next project.
Max is a pleasure to work with from his first call to his finishing touches on my three projects! I ordered the wrong size halogen bulb for my ceiling light fixture and he ran right to Home Depot for the correct size. My Turbo showerhead replacement was done in less than 10 minutes and he showed me how to use it and change cartridges. He is very knowledgeable on many topics. I have other projects in mind for Max; can't wait to cross more home projects off my list with his amazing assistance!! Highly Recommend Max Handyman!!
Max was great! He was very professional and fixed a problem with my bed. I bought a cheap bed from an online store and then had a friend put it together. When the friend put the bed together he cut corners so the bed broke apart which is why I called Max. Max fixed the bed and then reinforced it so it would not break again on me. I am very grateful!
I had a great experience working with Max Handyman. I reached out to him the night prior, and he was very accommodating and responsive. He was extremely communicative from start to finish. He came fully prepared, provided everything needed, and mounted my cabinet perfectly all by himself. The work was done super quickly and very professionally. I’m genuinely impressed with the quality of his work and will definitely be working with him again in the future. Highly recommend!
