Forrest was a great communicator and I was happy to work with him. He was also flexible, performing the tasks while I had other service providers in the house. He educated me on a few of the projects and went to pick up his own supplies. I will definitely work with him again.

Details: 2 - 5 hours (A few different projects) • Repairs • Installation • Kitchen • Bathroom • Living room • Lighting • Doors • Molding or baseboards • Wall hangings • Home

I recently needed two walls patched up and repainted after an accident. After reaching out to several service providers, most were either unable to meet my short timeframe or were charging exorbitant prices. However, Forrest from Kelly Improvements stood out for his diligence and efficiency. He arrived the same day to assess and begin the work. He addressed the repairs, and the area now looks as if nothing ever happened. His work was not only of high quality but also very reasonably priced. I am thoroughly impressed and will definitely be using his services again in the future. Highly recommended!

Details: Home • Just touch ups • Walls • 8 - 10 feet (standard ceiling) • Repainting, with same color • Fair - minor holes and scratches • Homeowner or property manager • No, this is not new construction • No, I will move things out of the way myself
