Dan repaired our door and some water damage on our ceiling drywall. He showed up on time and communication was perfect. He even had tools with him to make some other small repairs. Perfect service. Will use again

We have been using Chicago Handyman for years. Dan and Vincent were punctual, educated and had clear communication regarding any concerns we had. They also got things done in a timely fashion, no lolly gagging here! We had work done in the West Loop and West town. I would recommend them to my friends and family.

I had a unique situation with a huge old air conditioner installed into my window frame I wanted removed. Vincent did a great job getting it out, lifting it through a window, and carrying it down 3 flights of stairs. That thing was HEAVY! The job was tough but he worked quickly and the final bill came in less than the quote. Service:General repairs

Dov was early, prepared, professional, knowledgeable and fixed my dishwasher issue in under an hour. He walked me through the issue, ways to solve the problem and allowed me to have input into how to resolve it. He took care to protect my floors and other personal property. I will definitely use Chicago Handyman again when my next project arises.

I've worked with Dan on three separate occasions, which should tell you something. He's been a great partner, and fair every step in of the way - work is good, no nickel and diming, and he sticks to deadlines. No contractor is perfect, but Dan cares about the work he does, has integrity, and is a good communicator. I'll use him again. Services:Tile work installation, Remodeling, General construction, Flooring

Our bathroom ceiling had just been taken out and dried by a different company and when we reached out to them to this day still haven't given us an estimate to put up new drywall and light fixture on the ceiling but I called Chicago Handyman immediately and got an estimate and someone out here within a week and did great work and made our bathroom ceiling look like new.

We had Joe come out recently to fix a few things around our house: a leaky faucet, a misaligned door that would no longer lock normally and an exterior door with a rotten threshold and frame. We couldn't have been happier with the service provided; the company was responsive, Joe arrived on-time, his work was excellent and his attitude outstanding. We'll definitely use again for future projects, I would highly recommend for anyone in need of a handyman.

I've used Chicago Handyman for a few projects now and I'm so happy to have found them. They do impeccable work and even catch and repair things I hadn't noticed! Their prices are great, especially for the knowledge they provide and the quality they deliver. I highly recommend hiring Chicago Handyman for your home projects!

I'm so excited I found this company. I had dealt with someone else previously and didn't have the best experience. I just moved here and knew I would need to find someone who could help with projects I couldn't figure out myself. Welp I found them! They were great! On time, fair pricing and were able to help me get my closet installed.

They were super organized and able to figure out the problems that I had with metal studs. I will never use another company. If you're on the edge and not sure, trust me when I say hire them! I will not use anyone else. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Dan the Chicago Handyman was a very solid choice for the electrical project we had. Very professional, super knowledgeable of his craft. Quoting and pricing very fair. Dan told me the job would take an hour, and he did it within the hour. I highly recommend his work.

Chicago Handyman was professional and timely. They took their time and explained things so that I could understand. Dan was my "guy" and he was polite and informative. My job ended up requiring more work than the original opinion/estimate entailed and they called and talked that through with me. Very Happy with their service and will use them again in the future!

Dan was punctual, courteous, efficient, professional, great quality work, and an overall super nice guy. I only needed a pendant light hung up, but would 100% hire him for any larger jobs that would need to be done. I recommend that others do the same.

This work turned out very, very well for a competitive price. We have used Chicago Handyman several times for all different kinds of projects and as with prior work this project gave us a result we are very happy with. The team is committed to creating good quality work and it shows by the end. While they will work with your budget and style requirements, they also work hard to make sure you end up with something you will be happy with and that will last.

We often find the process of doing these kinds of projects to be bumpy - once the project starts things never go quite as originally envisioned and it's not always a perfect process - but by the end the work is very good and we are happy that we chose Chicago Handyman. I would definitely recommend them to others.

I needed a garbage disposal installed and they did a fantastic job. Quick, thorough, and polite. The garbage disposal works very well and Has been installed very securely. I've got some projects that I may need some help with in the future, I will definitely keep these guys in mind.

Dan is a true artist in the field. Not only is his work great, and prices right, but he is so creative too! Not sure what his training is but he had the answer to every issue I threw at him with something more extravagant than what I even pictured. Great experience truly. Highly recommended!

Dan installed a new Waste King kitchen disposal unit, purchased through Amazon. He notified through text before arrival which was very helpful. Unfortunately, the unit that I purchased did not have the same hook up as the unit to be replaced (needed an outlet). Dan explained everything very clearly and offered a quick solution. When I gave the go-ahead, he promptly purchased the necessary parts at a local hardware store and installed the disposal unit with new outlet in under 30 minutes. Overall, very impressed by his friendliness, honesty, and resourcefulness - not to mention a professional job. I would definitely recommend his services.

I recently just sold my condo in Greek town and needed some repairs done after the inspection. I was referred to Dan by my realtor and I'm always skeptical of any new handyman or contractor, but I was pleasantly surprised. Dan is extremely professional and reliable. He knows how to fix anything! I also felt comfortable having him in my house because he was extremely personable and down to earth. I would recommend him to anyone and I'm sure all of his employees display the same work ethic as Dan!

I just moved into a new home and there were a few odds and ends and one broken garbage disposal that I needed help with. Dan got back to me right away. We spoke on Thursday and he was there the following Monday to help. He accurately estimated the scope of work, picked up the needed materials for the job and was very pleasant. I will definitely have Dan back for any additional needs.

Fast, reliable, funny, and a job well done! Thx Dan! Called for help with something basic recommended by a friend and ended up getting help fixing a couple other things, hanging a light, some drywall, and creative solutions that eluded me but solved the problem and looked great. Reasonably priced too!

THE BEST! Not only did he help me build and install beautiful planter boxes in my back yard, he was extremely helpful, offering gardening tips and even helped pull weeds when he came back later in the season for another project!

Dan is a great handyman and was able to figure out the camera situation I had half installed and complete the job. He worked with the appropriate tools and hid the cables as I requested. I would have him back for the next job in a heartbeat. Thanks Dan!

Dan was able to find the parts needed to repair a door in my apt. It was a perfect match and he did an excellent paint job on the trim as well. He was efficient and left no mess to clean up. I would call him again for any other repairs/handyman work around my apartment and recommend him to friend's as well.

Dan Shirley was awesome. He followed through on coming right over when I had a leak under the sink and something wrong with the dishwasher. Fixed all of that and even the front door on the way out. Awesome guy!
