Based on the reviews I picked the Handy Brit and was very satisfied with the work done. I had a wood floor installed and had them put the trim in that room as well. They installed the floor. Looks great. They painted the trim and installed it and then touched up the paint after. They put some caulking by the closet door on the floor to seal it. I was a little nervous at first but once they started I could tell it was going well. I would definitely use them again.

I have used The Handy Brit three times now. They are fantastic! They are always right on time, get straight to work and they want to make sure that it is done right the first time instead of just rushing through something . If they have questions - they ask. If there's a challenge, they help to find a good solution. Impressive!! I'm giving them a call again to handle some guestroom bathroom work! I appreciate them very much.

I can speak highly of the HandyBrit who was able to do a number of small annoying projects that have lingered for years. He was extremely professional and had every tool needed for the variety of projects. The estimate was fair and the follow up good. I found him personable and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend!

Alisa and Paul have been very responsive and professional and kept us informed as to scheduling and costs. Kerry arrived on time and was incredibly skilled. He was also extremely neat while doing reconstruction and installation of lighting upgrades. We are very impressed and recommend The Handy Brit without reservation.

Both gentlemen did an amazing job on our condo in downtown Sarasota. They arrived on time and installed ceiling fans, hung very large pictures on the wall, installed large chandelier and various other fixtures. Top notch. Hiring them again for additional work in the coming weeks. Highly recommended!

Excellent job replacing interior doors and trim. Paul did the complete job from picking up the doors, painting and caulking trim (many contractors won’t paint) and cleaning up after the job was done. Everything looks beautiful and works perfectly. Highly recommend Paul and his crew and we will certainly use him again!!

The Handy Brit crew has hung interior doors and built pantry shelves for us. They did a great job and cleaned up after themselves. They were polite and courteous. We are very pleased with their work and will use them again.

We hired Paul (The Handy Brit) to do a laundry list of tasks prior to moving into our new house: install light fixtures, change faucets and door knobs, install a wood closet system, put new anchor screws into our lanai frame. He and his helper did them all, and well.
Their "office" (Paul's spouse) is super efficient too. Providing written estimates and fair billing. Paul showed up as promised, executed flawlessly, and wrapped up in time. Can't ask for more than that!
Cute truck too, painted with Union Jack colors.

We hired The Handy Brit to replace some dry-rotted siding on our house. They gave us a good price, showed up on time, did a great job, and even discounted the estimate for unused material.

The Handy Brit did absolutely fantastic work for us. He was efficient, reasonable, honest, great workmanship, trustworthy in your home... the list could go on and on. He has done many jobs for us from repairing water damaged wood flooring, replacing rotting wood, installing new door hinges...the list is long and varied. I have nothing but praise and appreciation for all his work. Thank you!

This review is long overdue. Paul fixed my deck and some stairs and installed a new storm door for me back in April. He is so awesome to deal with. Trustworthy, super reliable and tidy. I will be calling him whenever I have handyman work to be done. Thank you, Paul!

This guy is a farce. Allow me to explain. I made an appointment to have him install an exterior door and here's what happened.

1) Paul, the "Handy Brit" doesn't show up, it's some other guy. I say "Hi Paul" and instead of telling me he's not the guy, he just nods and smiles and ignores the fact that I'm expecting somebody else.

2) I told Paul the door was fiberglass an inch too tall and would need to be cut down. The other guy doesn't know how to do this. So when I go outside to get something out of my shed, I hear him on the phone asking

The issue I hired him for was not solved. I came home to a piece of the door sitting on the ground in front of it. I guess when you want something done right, no matter your level
Of expertise- you do it yourself. I paid him $100 for nothing

What a relief to find someone like "The Handy Brit" to help out with our construction project. We have used them for our flooring, trim work and painting. They are prompt and do an excellent job. Could not be happier.

We went through quite a few handyman company's over the past 17-years while living in the Sarasota area. Unfortunately finding one that is honest, on time, does the job they quote and having the finished product look as it should has proved ridiculously difficult to find. Then we recently found "The Handy Brit" and we would NOT THINK of using anyone else after hiring Paul several times over the last couple months to do various jobs.

During our initial meeting we were so very impressed with Paul's professional demeanor, appearance and explanation of services that we were sure
