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:

The Floor Show

“I had 12-year-old hardwood floors I was adding onto, and two other outfits told me they needed to be replaced, but The Floor Show said that matching wouldn’t be a problem. I have to tell you, they did what they said, and said what they did. They worked WITH us.”

Customer Feedback:

Bonny Weil General Contractor

“The first thing I want to say is that Bonny came in on time and under budget, which is pretty much unheard of! The next thing is that she really listened to us. I never felt that she was imposing her vision on us, but she showed us different options, some of which we used. The whole kitchen remodel went very well, she has great workers who left our home spotless every day. We are very pleased.”
