Client Testimonials

Maria G. · Cherrywood · ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Daniel is a great handyman and very easy to work with. His communication is excellent and he is always responsive and reliable. He is thoughtful about problem solving and pays close attention to detail. I really appreciate that he offers multiple solutions and is not always trying to upsell. He will explain options, including things I could do myself, which builds a lot of trust. He has power washed and re-stained my decks, completed a variety of small interior jobs, and helped build a walkway entrance that also provides support to a stone wall that was not properly supported before I bought the house. The work looks good and was done carefully and intentionally. I trust his recommendations and would absolutely hire him again.

Jeff M. · Holly · ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Daniel is fantastic. We hired him to do a minor bathroom remodel. It was affordable, he was honest and transparent, and we couldn’t be happier with the work. We will definitely be asking for his help on future home projects.
Monica L. · Spicewood · ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Daniel did a fantastic job on our deck repair and door screen projects. He replaced several posts and rails on our deck that had some unique challenges as well as replaced the ripped screens on our back patio doors. We are really happy with the result. He was also super reliable - great communication and consistent follow through, something especially valued in a handyman. Hoping to hire him again for a multitude of projects!
Dan R. · Lakeway · ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We had a great experience with Daniel. He was extremely responsive and managed to squeeze us into his schedule right away. Before starting, he walked us through his process and explained exactly what he was going to do to ensure we were all on the same page. He was incredibly efficient, completing the job much faster than expected without sacrificing quality. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, professional handyman!
