About Ernest

With 11 years of experience as a small, two-person team, my focus is always on quality. I never cut corners, even when the job is more complex or costly for me. Whether you need TV mounting, handyman work, furniture assembly, or holiday lighting installation and removal, I treat your home with care and respect. Some competitors may be cheaper, but I stand behind my workmanship and aim for your complete satisfaction on every project. The minimum payment for my services is 2 hours. If you’re looking for reliable, detail-oriented help for your home projects, I’d be glad to work with you.

My appointment was scheduled for 3:00pm. I was notified about 2:15 they were running late would arriving 3:40. They arrived at 4:00pm. I had to change plans. The 2 assembled the recliner. Within 30 minutes after they left the stopped reclining. I contacted them. He said he could come back within 1 hour. It was 1 hour and 50 minutes before he got back to my house. He checked the recliner advised me it must be problem with the manufacturer nothing he could do. That’s not my issue it’s them not being. Punctual. Respect for a person time is very important. I sorry I can’t give 5 stars

He came to my apartment to install a door closer, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. He arrived right on time, was extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He did a great job with the installation and made sure everything was working properly before he left. Very reliable and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing this type of work!

Ernest took on many tasks for us and was a consummate professional! He put us in his schedule on the day that we needed, arrived on time, and stayed until all jobs for the day were completed! He removed our old mailbox, stained our mailbox post and installed a new mailbox for us! It looks terrific!! He cleaned/prepped and then stained the staircase in our garage and did a wonderful job on it! Everything he did he did with care, effort and professionalism. We will absolutely use Ernest again for any handyman jobs that arise for us. Highly recommend him! 5 stars!!

Ernest came to take care of our bathroom and a few odd jobs around our home. He replaced sheetrock, painted our bathroom, installed handicap rails and did a great job! He was punctual, polite and I would definitely use him again.

Ernest spent hours working tirelessly to install curtain hooks into the ceiling for 3 of my large windows despite going out for a new drill bit. He came early and did an excellent job with all the measurements. He was very professional, punctual & even cleaned up all the dust left behind. I highly recommend and will be booking him again .
