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 had the remains of a shattered shower glass door in my bathroom for THREE WEEKS and I called so many glass specialists, contractors, handymen, etc., and not ONE had the time or diligence to do this. I called Chicago Handyman and an hour later I had someone in my bathroom cleaning it up safely. I thought I'd have to schedule something and then they might show up and then it would be a whole thing but nope! They just come and do the work. I am really grateful to Dan and Leo. Thank you SO much.

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 and his team did a great job replacing my deck with a new composite deck. The goal was to prevent rot that is happening on a below ground level deck each year. Hopefully the composite works great. It sure does look beautiful! I'd recommend him for this project.

Dan took my call on a Saturday afternoon after I was involved in a death match with a ceiling fan. He worked around my schedule and had Leo out that Tuesday who completed the job in no time flat. I will call first before even starting myself next time! Highly recommend!

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!

This review is long overdue but worth the 5 star rating. I met Dan last year when one of my tenants moved out with no notice. He came into unit that needed a full gut demo on the kitchen and was unfazed by the mess that these tenants had left. He and his team were so professional and super helpful every step of the way, especially since I live on the East Coast. Dan kept me updated on the status of the projects, working to meet my deadlines for showing and leasing the unit.

He has a network of workers with lots of experience in the trades. He was able to get all the window screens replaced, which I was having an impossible time hiring someone to do. His work was so good, I asked him back to redo the 2nd floor kitchen & bath, paint, redo hardwood floors, install ceiling fans, and create a custom barn door for the master walk-in closet. Ready for him to bring his team and refresh the 1st floor duplex unit now!

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.

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!

I just bought my first condo and had a bunch of things that needed fixing up. I was worried that I would have to call different people to help me fix different things. A friend recommended that I call Dan and I'm really glad I did! He was familiar with everything that needed to be fixed and worked around my insane schedule to help me out. He's the best! Really friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this company to anyone.

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 was a great help. I needed a loft built. I wanted to participate in the building so I was seeking a handyman to come and build it with me. I searched everywhere with poor results. Most people wanted to charge insane rates. One guy I tried to hire didn't show on the day of the build. Dan was awesome. He came when he said he would. We got the entire loft built in one day. Including a set of stairs. The loft has been up for about 8 months now. It was built safe and sound! Any future projects I will be sure to call him!

These guys are the greatest! Not only do they require the skills to get your job done correctly the first time, but as artists, they can offer so much more. They have customized my shower to look like an underwater fantasy land - you really should ask how they can help make your project look truly unique and professionally done.
