Oliver T.

Did an incredible job installing my Nest Thermostat. Very professional, efficient, and a nice guy. Highly recommend.

Jessica H.

Garshon, achieved what two other ( non handy site) guys couldn't do! He was patient and knows his craft well, he even labeled our speaker wires which made it easy to set up.

James A.

Carlos was fantastic. He went above and beyond and explained my options each step of the way through. I had thrown a few different tasks his way and none of them were a problem whatsoever. Needless to say, everything is working perfectly. Very knowledgeable and personable and really great with pets which makes things SO much easier. I have three dogs who can all be a handful when barking away in the rooms with people over, but he was very friendly and the dogs calmed down immediately and settled in which I think as a pet owner says a lot... Highly recommend him for anything you may need - will be using him again without question!
