Introduction
I'm a HandyMan and work under the AZ Guidelines of such. I'm knowledgeable in most things, can reasonably & responsibly figure out most other things, and will let you know if things are beyond my pay-grade...I blame being a Boy Scout & Marine for my forth-rightness. A note regarding my less than 4 star reviews: Not one of those people did I do any work for and only one did I actually meet (you'll be able to know which if you read the reply ;-) The others, 3 I think, we're ones where I failed to communicate in the time they expected or failed to make a note in my calendar; I chalk that up to my upbringing and my general dislike for planning (however, I'm working on it everyday and you can see by the overwhelming positive reviews, I'm getting real successful ;-) In all seriousness, it's never by design that I've let someone down. Call me, text me (I give everyone my cell #). I hate looking like a failure (I have a looking good and being handy complex); I'll jump through hoops to make it right. I like to do business via text (although appreciate a personal call at least once to get a sense of who we each are - you're inviting me into your home - You should feel comfortable about it). However, the main reason for text is that we then both have a hard copy of our agreements (unless you've forgotten, the only negative reviews I've had is for lack of planning - "help me, help you...help me,...help you!" ;-) So congrats on your project and I hope to work for you! Regards, Howard J. Hughes II Your HandyMan (& BINSRguy) Original intro: I'm NEW to Thumbtack and would love your consideration! I'm an ASU grad, US Marine & longtime valley entrepreneur.

Howard did a great job and we are thrilled with the interior door install! It’s great working with some as professional and skilled as he and we will definitely recommend him to others!

Howard did a great job installing the door coming into our house from the garage. The door being replaced had plenty of irregularities to it but Howard was able to correct those which resulted in a professional finish. We communicated through the app about the job and what materials were required. There were instances where I'd wait on a reply for multiple hours but understood that he was working on other projects. I'd recommend Howard for handyman work and wont hesitate to reach out if I come across another difficult project. - Rob

Details: Exterior door (e.g. front door, patio door) • 1 door • Standard • Metal • Yes, the new door replaces an existing door • No, I would like the pro's help in purchasing the door • Home

Our dog broke our glass front door. We contacted a big company and were given an 11 week timeline. I contacted Howard and he was out the next day after helping me purchase the correct door the previous night over text. He worked all day and it was obvious in his attention to detail. Top that all off with one of the nicest guys you’ll meet and I would recommend him to anyone. I’ll be using Howard again in the future with a doubt.

Details: Exterior door (e.g. front door, patio door) • 1 door • Standard • Mixed materials (e.g., wood with windows) • Yes, the new door replaces an existing door • No, but I plan to purchase the door myself • Install locks or hardware • Install new trim around the door • Weatherproofing (block drafts) • Home
