Terry was wonderful. Previously I had a bad experience with Handy, but decided to give it another try. I am glad I did. Terry was professional, very efficient, had great ideas to ensure my heavy shelves were secured onto my flimsy walls. Thank you so much!

It wasn't an easy job. Really wasn't. 100 lb 60 inch tv needed to be hung on sheet rock. Our boy got it done and it's able to swing 180 degrees
