Fran's tremendous. It's not just that he's friendly, professional, and does a terrific job. He can also give you useful suggestions and can fulfill unusual requests with creativity. Our second bathroom has poor ventalation, so we bought a small table-stand fan. It's now mounted high in a wall corner, and I swear it looks like it came with the house. Having someone as good as Fran to call on has actually inspired us to do seemingly small improvements all over the house, with invariably gratifying results.

Fran was extremely reliable and did everything we asked. The main projects were installing bannisters and repairing a double hung window. He accommodated a tapestry wall hanging which was a little tricky. He even gave us hints for small things we could do on our own, for example recommending a mold cleaner. We will definitely ask him for help with future projects. Miriam

Fran is a top notch professional. Courteous, prompt and thorough. He helped with an assortment of work, including recaulking our bathtub, mending a broken tile, replacing mounding, and repairing an old door so it would swing properly. Eager to hire him for outdoor tasks once the weather turns this spring. You’ll be glad you contacted him.

Fran was awesome! He fixed so many things around the house--doors now work again, a bookshelf was hung, and we have working shades. Thrilled to have found such a great handyman. Very reasonable in price, and courteous in behavior.
