Tom replaced two light fixtures and a ceiling fan in one visit. He was on time, explained what he was doing, and cleaned up completely before he left.

Client Feedback
Punctual, tidy, and worth
calling back again.
We needed a sump pump installed before a big storm week. Tom got us on the schedule fast and the price was exactly what he quoted.

The drywall patch in our hallway is completely invisible now. Great communication from the first text to the final walkthrough.

Tom replaced a rotted section of exterior trim and repainted it to match. Honest guy, fair price, and no upselling at all.
Mark R.
HomeAdvisor Review
He hung a new storm door and fixed the strike plate on another door while he was here. Easy to work with and very respectful of the house.

Our water heater went out and Tom had a new one in the next day. Clear pricing and he hauled the old unit away for us.

I have used Tom for a dishwasher install, a faucet swap, and window trim. He is now the first call for anything around our house.
