I would recommend to use Maximum Effort Handyman for a variety of different projects. He installed lights and was able to fix my sliding glass door handle that I thought was forever broken. He even took the handle home to work on it more and came back to install!

I recently hired Max to install ceiling lights in my home, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service he provided. From start to finish, Max demonstrated professionalism and expertise. Throughout the process, he was not only reliable but also extremely tidy, ensuring the work area was neat and cleaned up after himself. Max’s communication was excellent—he was responsive to my questions and kept me updated every step of the way. The quality of the work was exceptional; the lights were installed perfectly and look great! I also appreciated that his pricing was very reasonable, offering great value for such high-quality service. I highly recommend Max and Maximum Effort Handyman Services for any home improvement needs. He truly goes above and beyond!

Max did an outstanding job installing new lights over our kitchen island. Despite the complexity of the installation, he completed it perfectly, and the lights look fantastic! I would highly recommend Max. He was also very flexible with scheduling and even came the same day, which was incredibly helpful. Highly recommend!

Max was very flexible with the appointment. I asked if he can come in earlier and he was ok with it. Max showed up on time and was very helpful all around. I recommend max for anyone looking to get lights installed. I will for sure save his information for future reference.

Max is the best - incredibly reasonably priced, helpful in all the best ways, personable and professional. He installed two complicated light fixtures (including removing the old, poorly installed lights), moved one to another location when it didn’t fit in the original spot, helped troubleshoot a defect on one (and helped me file the complaint with the maker!) and did great work on my powder bath. Absolutely will hire him again - just a wonderful guy all around!
