Dave did a great job mounting a TV on the wall. I wanted a handyman because I didn't want extra holes in the wall in case I missed a stud. We are in an apartment and want to keep wall repairs to a minimum. Dave responded promptly to our initial call and arrived right on time for the appointment. He was very thorough and made sure he found the stud the first time, despite it being a little tricky. He was also efficient and got it done quickly. We really appreciated the good service and we'll be using him in the future.

I would highly recommend Dave. He showed up early, took his time to understand the repairs I was looking for and was very honest concerning what task he could perform and if he felt something was working properly. He was very professional, easy to get a long with, and I felt totally comfortable with him in my house.
