Introduction
My name is David, and I’ve been providing handyman services in the U.S. for the past 3 years. I’ve dedicated myself to this craft since the age of 15 and take great pride in being a perfectionist. My work is always done with precision and care, ensuring that you can trust me to deliver clean and professional results every time. I hold a degree in engineering and have extensive experience with electrical work, so you can rest assured that safety and quality are my top priorities. Additionally, I specialize in carpentry and painting. With over 21 years of hands-on experience, my expertise spans a wide range of skills. If a job isn’t done perfectly, it would genuinely keep me up at night! I’m also the founder of a handyman school in Los Angeles, where I teach skills such as electrical work, door and window installation, kitchen installations, interior and exterior painting, and drywall. I even had the opportunity to train in Italy, learning advanced techniques for painting kitchens. Whether you prefer high-quality American paint or luxurious Italian finishes, I can deliver results tailored to your preferences. I look forward to providing you with exceptional service. Thank you for considering me!

I thought I could hang my christmas lights myself. When I realized that I was wrong about that and already 1/3 of the way in, I wanted to hire someone STAT. I reached out to several taskers and companies and not only was he the only one to actually reply, he also gave me a fair price and was able to move things around to come out Next Day. He hung all the rest of my lights for me and did it neatly and efficiently. Very happy with my lights and the job he did!

Details: Installation only • Roof • No, I will provide the lights myself • Less than 1,000 sq ft • Residential

I was very pleased to hire David for wall repairs. He corrected the poor work done by the previous contractor. The result was excellent, everything was neat and clean.

David was able to assemble my outside storage shed. He did an excellent job. He professionally explained that some pieces were missing and was able to make modifications to continue building. Missing pieces will be easy to put in once they arrive. I would hire again.

Details: Less than 2 hours (Simple tasks) • Assembly • Home

Eager to work, but misrepresented his abilities to install Ikea kitchen cabinets. He is one of those people who should be asked a lot of questions up front. David was very responsive to my texts, impressedly so. He came up with a price to do the whole job. He told me he could do the job. He showed up with a helper. I have Ikea Kitchen cabinets and he said he could do installation but he didn’t have any Ikea cabinet install experience. He didn’t mention this. I asked. He said yes, he could do it. He did not install the rails onto the wall, the first step. He didn’t know how to fill the gaps on the sides. He did not ask me for my kitchen cabinet plans or layout and instead installed them in the wrong spot. He didn’t ask me for any plans or input. He told me two items where missing, so I drove one hour to Ikea to pick up two drawers. I returned. And found the cabinets installed in the wrong placement. I could not get my oven to fit, in his layout, as he put the cabinets all far right with an 8” gap on the far left. I wanted them centered. I had to have him stop. He wanted $1300 for the whole job, and demanded $1000 for the work he did. I paid. It was one day of work. But now I have to have his work undone and then done correctly. And he is not answering my texts anymore. He should have asked me where I wanted the gaps. Where he placed my cabinets would have caused me to have an electrician move the oven outlet and a plumber redesign the drainage pipes. He should have been honest and told me he didn’t know how Ikea cabinets get installed. He claimed he has 14 years experience installing cabinets.

Details: Kitchen • 11-15 • Yes, I need my cabinets assembled • Both wall and base cabinets • Yes, I will need 6 - 10 cabinets removed • Residential
