Peter helped us with a number of small, time-sensitive projects that entailed carpentry, wall patching, and some painting. He was prompt, professional, and friendly and the quality of his work was outstanding.
Response from Peter the Handyman
"Rich was great to work with. On my second visit, the house had just been put on the market, so priorities changed and we focused on making the place look as good as possible to potential buyers. He's already said he'll be calling me again after this one sells, and he moves into a new house. Looking forward to it!"

Did a great job removing decades of grime and paint from my transom window, restoring it to pristine condition. Repaired and painted the window frame and also painted the front door. Excellent work with great attention to details.
Response from Peter the Handyman
"I really enjoyed working with Gail, and I look forward to working with her on future projects. When I uncovered some hidden treasures in her home like the beveled glass in her transom window, she was as delighted as I was because we shared an appreciation for craftsmanship and detail. I like that in a customer :-)"

I hired Peter to install decorative molding around the entrance between the living room and dining room of my home. I had attempted it myself but could not get neat, nicely mitered corners. Peter did an excellent job installing the woodwork. Very happy with the miter job! He was quick, thorough and cleaned up. Have more projects for him.
Response from Peter the Handyman
"David wanted trim for the dining room entrance to match trim on the large front window. There was no trim there originally, but there was wainscoting with raised trim which had to be removed, re-cut, and reinstalled. This was a small job, but I enjoyed working with the customers and look forward to working on their future projects."

I have known Peter for many years. He has helped me out on many projects in my home. He installed lighted cabinets for various displays, installed shelving in my shed which gave me much more floor space, reinforced a stair railing, and replaced outdoor switches and receptacles. Peter has impeccable expertise and great attention on detail. I definitely recommend him!

"I've enjoyed working with Charles on a number of projects over the years. I really appreciate my regular customers who come back time and again when they need a handyman for their home repair and improvement projects."

I hired Peter to repair drywall that had recently been installed with bad spackle and painting. Peter was on time and his work very neat, he made a 100% improvement.
Response from Peter the Handyman
"Kevin was great to work with. He had recently had a wall patched where a window a/c had been, and had some walls added in the corner of the room to box in some duct work. Unfortunately, they rushed the finishing, and left it lumpy, streaky, and pock-marked. I sanded down the high spots and filled in the low spots, using my new vacuum attachment for the electric sander, which I'm happy to report contained nearly all of the fine dust! I took my time to obtain superior results, sanding and spackling and letting it dry overnight, then repeating, and finally painting on the third visit."

He has done 1/2 dozen jobs for me! Good guy and very imaginative! Punctual and easy to work with!
Response from Peter the Handyman
"I met Larry almost a year ago, and have really enjoyed helping to renovate and maintain his center-city brownstone apartment house. As apartments would be vacated in this 150 year old building, I would size them up and determine what needed attention. Everything from a new floor or faucet for a bathroom, new mini-blinds, planing/repairing doors and cabinets which were stuck from too much paint over the years, or just wouldn't shut, patching ceiling cracks, installing window air conditioners, and more."

Very good work! Reliable and communicates well!
Response from Peter the Handyman
"I've had the pleasure of working with Evan on a number of projects, at both his home and his rental property. All sorts of things from sealing a leaky bathtub surround, to putting in new dimmers and outlets, and installing a custom-size bi-fold door. I also did some ceiling repairs, installed some outdoor window boxes for plantings, and custom shelving for the kitchen per the customer's specifications. I'm looking forward to working with Evan again on some future projects we've discussed."

Immediate response!! Very trustworthy! Friendly and easy to be around!
Response from Peter the Handyman
"Pattie was a pleasure to work for. The job included the kitchen/Laundry flooring shown in the before & after photos, and a list of assorted items to get the house staged and ready to put on the market, including repairing noisy and running toilets, removing old window treatments and patching holes for the painters, and fixing several interior doors. I also installed smoke detectors, and replaced light fixtures, a bath exhaust fan, and a ceiling fan, among the various tasks."
