Wooden Fence Repair

From the time I entered my request in HomeStars until the work was completed was a week. Three companies replied to my request but Dan was the only one who answered all my questions and gave a firm date / time and showed up to review the required work! Good quality work. My only suggestion is to confirm the cost estimate. I would use Dan's Home Improvements again.

Thanks, a genuine review. Re-drilling out the old post for a new one is a tough one to estimate but will do better to confirm.

new handrail, remove/repair rotting wood, painting, etc.

Dan did a bunch of minor jobs at my house. He came within 1 week of me contacting him. He's very hard working and efficient. An honest, good guy who did a great job!

No involement with the Home Owner

I was never given a chance with the owner exactly what I wanted and had to work with his handyman. The end result the owner did not use good wood or spindles or did they use wood around the lower part of my deck WHICH IS WHAT I REALLY WANTED and ended up using the cheapest lattice instead and therefore the paint did not take to it at all. Very very disappointed with the job and very disappointed with what I was promised. I only wanted a good decent job - not the cheapest way to do something.

I'm sorry you feel that way but I worked hard to complete the job at a reasonable price based on the type of materials we had to source for this. Certain lattice is hard to find and was the plan originally. Latticed pressure treated spindles were low in stock and we could only take what was available at the supplier for these posts.

Basement repair

Dan completed repairs to our basement after a leak: drywall repair, repainting, etc. He salvaged our custom baseboards and other woodwork so that the wall now looks virtually the same as it was. Courteous, punctual, reasonable, polite, patient. Came on New Year's Eve! Thanks Dan.

Thanks Jim. I was longing to come back and finish. After 6 months nothing changed except from the proofers so we had a good laugh.

Fence Repair

I had a wooden fence giveaway in the early spring and preferred to have it repaired rather than replaced. Other vendors were not ready to listen to what I wanted.

Dan did and did a wonderful repair on the fence.....better than new. He was prompt, courteous, provided excellent value and most importantly listened to my problem and devised a perfect solution.

I can’t say enough good things about Dan and will certainly use him again for other handyman projects.

Thanks Bob, Glad to strengthen that old fence with cemented posts above the ground. And the work ended just before the rains began.

Bathroom Toilet

Called Dan for the first time last week about leaky toilet. He was able to come out the same day and successfully repair the toilet. Called him back the following week to repair door handle and again was able to replace the part provided by the manufacturer. I will definitely call on him again for future projects. He is dependable and takes pride in his work. Thanks so much for your help Dan.

Closet door replacement

Dan executed the project of replacing closet sliding doors with folding doors at short notice. He had to deal with problems of uneven floors and walls but took all this in his stride. I am pleased with the final outcome. Thanks Dan.

Drywall, Painting, Bathtub Faucet, Maintenance Repairs

I recently contacted Dan about doing some small renovations and fixing up around my house for an upcoming showing. I needed some drywall and a door put up in a basement room which was completely open from the previous owners. In addition, I had an erroded bathtub faucet which gave me a lot of concerns.

Needless to say, Dan got the job done! Upon meeting Dan, I felt he was very personable, professional and diligent. He took instructions well and his craftsmanship is fantastic! I look forward to working with Dan again in the future and highly recommend him to all my friends and family. Thank you Dan!

Kitchen renovation

10/10. Your dedication and excellence in your workmanship deserve the best rating. Every thing you have done for my kitchen reno, such as the demolition, the pantry, the backsplash, the plumbing, the painting, and all the patchings, was done in a very professional and friendly manner. You are reliable and trustworthy. Your fees are very reasonable. It was a pleasure doing business with you and looking forward to future projects. I would recommend you with full confidence. God bless you!
