Hi neighbor! My name is Ryan, and I’ve been working as a handyman for the past 5 years, building on a wide range of hands-on experience along the way. I take pride in delivering quality work and making sure every job is completed the right way—no shortcuts, no loose ends.\nWhen you invite someone into your home, trust matters. I focus on clear communication, attention to detail, and making sure your vision is fully brought to life. No task is left unfinished, and no concern goes unaddressed.

"I had three bids to replace my plaster and tile on my pool. After talking with the three companies, I was more comfortable going with Ryan and Platypus Pools, as he really knew what he was talking about. His crew came out in a timely fashion, got the job done very quickly and the pool looks great. I loved the attention to detail and Ryan made sure that the job was done perfectly, as he was on site during the renovation. Very happy with the result and will hire them for any pool repairs I need in the future."

"I went to A Lamp & Fixture Shop today, hoping to a repair a lamp (a small countertop nightlight). I wanted to both get a professional’s advice on the safety of a questionable (to me) part of the cord and to replace the plug, which we had tried unsuccessfully to do ourselves. The helpful repairman explained exactly why we had encountered difficulty trying to do it ourselves, looked carefully and told me that the part of the cord we thought might be iffy was fine, and replaced the plug -- charging $15 for the repair. The whole walk-in exchange took around 10 minutes, which probably doesn't always happen at busier times of the day. But having the little lamp fixed on the spot saved me an hour of driving in city traffic to pick the lamp the later in the week! My first visit to this shop was to get a stained glass tensor desk lamp, an estate sale find, to work; I figured it would have to be rewired. I was told by the staff that this is not easy to do, given the structure of that type of tensor lamp -- and re-wiring would have cost me more than the lamp did. But the staff person, seeing my disappointment, made another suggestion: rather than rewire, consider putting a new "thumb switch" on the cord. Perfect solution! The lamp works (and looks) great -- and the cost was $25. Two repair visits – and good advice leading to two reasonable and successful outcomes. A Lamp & Fixture Shop is batting 1000 with me. If I could give an A+ grade, I sure would."

"Andy saved me over $400 because he identified the problem with my sauna right away. He moved my power cord so that it was more conveniently located to the outlet. He made really good recommendations and went above and beyond what was required. I would highly recommend him."

"I called and they came out quick because of winter and was able to get it done in time so my tub didn't fall below temperature thanks!"

"These guy's were great!! I have never had a pool co do such a fantastic job!!! They will from now on be my go to pool guys."

"We had let our pool go, lots of leaves and debris in the pool. John was great! Came out the following day, performed all that was asked and then some. Trouble shooted our filter, made recommendations for future maintenance. I would definitely recommend them to perform all your pool service needs. Jason-Mokena"

"We had a very difficult project -- the existing concrete and fence had to replaced, along with the pool's concrete bottom, vinyl liner, and some of the plumbing. Midwest Aquatics was the only contractor of 4 or 5 who examined the job, that would do all of the work (concrete & pool work). The quality of workmanship was good, as long as my wife or I was staying on top of the work being done -- however, when we weren't able to watch over the details, MWA's project management and communications were poor. There were several cases where re-work had to be done, 2 serious issues that we're still stuck with, and contention over $$$ owed."
