I needed a hodgepodge of repairs that had built up over time in my bathroom - it had gotten overwhelming. Joel was super responsive, advised me via chat on what to buy from Lowe's, and arrived the evening of the same day, right on time. I think he was in my house for just over an hour and fixed SEVERAL things on my toilet as well as my bathroom door. I'll definitely hire him again.

What a great experience! Replied quickly, showed up on time, repaired my disposal instead of replacing which saved me money. Needed a new kitchen faucet, and the pipes were corroded and needed replaced. Joel was so easy to work with and did a great job. I will hire him again for any plumbing/electrical handyman jobs I have in the future.

Details: Yes, the existing disposal needs to be replaced • I'm flexible

We had a toilet issue just days before my in-laws were arriving, and Joel came through in a big way. They were prompt, professional, and went above and beyond to get everything fixed in time. Couldn’t be more grateful for their quick and thorough work. Highly recommend!

Sorry to have taken so long to write this review! Joel was really great and was able to clear a toilet that had been plugged up for days! He was very responsive and punctual as well. I will definitely use him again for my plumbing needs...

Great experience. Joel worked in a relatively tight space, fixed our dishwasher in ~90 minutes and had time to look at and fix a small leak on our washing machine, too. The experience saved us about $500 total and we also found a new handyman in him through the process. For anyone wondering, his communication is perfect. To me, this matters in a big way. I don’t like to guess or worse, misinterpret what someone is trying to tell me. Joel is capable of explaining the problem entirely and clearly. So keep that in mind when you’re looking at options.
