Handyman Professionals
“I found them after seeing their van on the street. They were absolutely fantastic, and I have since used them four or five times. They know every aspect of construction, and they’ll show you how to save money or how to do things yourself.“

Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Decks
“I love them! They’ve done work for my mother, my uncle, and on two of my projects. I’m an architect, and they do things right. Will is a “can-do” kinda guy, and their work is always top of the line. Their workers are very respectful, and the communication between the crew and the office is great.”

Mr. Handyman
“They found the leak in my bathroom and fixed it the first time. They had to replace the bathroom floor and some of my bathtub plumbing, and they did a good job. They were always punctual. I would definitely use them again.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Ross M. Stangeland DDS
“I grind my teeth, and my teeth were deteriorating— so Dr. Stangeland had to cap every single tooth in my mouth. It was a huge job, but the quality of his work is absolutely superb. I now get compliments on my teeth all the time! Everyone in his office is pleasant, and fun to be around. They made a huge ordeal very easy.”
