About NOVAfix Handyman

Hi, I’m Denys, owner of NOVAfix. I help homeowners with drywall repairs, furniture assembly, TV mounting, door repairs, plumbing fixes, caulking, and general handyman work. My goal is simple: show up on time, communicate clearly, and get the job done right the first time. I treat every home with care and always make sure the work area is clean before I leave. If you need a reliable handyman who responds quickly and stands behind his work, I’d be happy to help.

Repeated No-Shows, Broken Commitments & Terrible Communication I am extremely disappointed with our experience with this company. We have been trying to get this project started since September 21, and what should have been a straightforward job has turned into repeated delays, excuses, unanswered calls/messages, and commitments that are simply not honored. Last week, we were told that his vehicle had broken down and had to go into the shop for a mechanic to repair it. We were understanding and gave him the benefit of the doubt. Today, however, there was no misunderstanding. We spoke with him directly, and he specifically committed to being at our property by 1:00 PM today. He told us he would be bringing the materials with him so he could finally start the job. 1:00 PM came and went. He did not show up. He did not bring the materials. The job was not started. This has become a pattern since September 21. We have repeatedly been told someone is coming, only to be left waiting. We have had to continuously call and message just to get an answer, and at times we have simply been ghosted with no communication whatsoever. I understand that unexpected things happen. Vehicles break down. Schedules change. But when you are running a business, you communicate with your customers. You don't repeatedly give customers dates and times, have them rearrange their schedules and wait for you, and then simply not show up. What concerns me most is that we have continued giving this company opportunities to make things right, and the same thing keeps happening. I am posting this review so other homeowners can make an informed decision before hiring this company. Based on our experience since September 21, I cannot recommend them. Their lack of reliability, communication, and follow-through has been completely unacceptable. When you personally tell a customer that you will be there by 1:00 PM with the materials to start their job, they should not be left sitting there wondering whether you're going to show up. At this point, we have lost confidence in anything we are being told.

I’m hoping to convert a basement bathroom for an extra bedroom. NovaFix was quick, a fair price, timely and installation went very well. Will hire again.

He did an amazing job! He showed up on time and got it done in a timely manner. Very professional and you can tell he is proud of his work. Would absolutely hire again and I highly recommend for anyone else’s looking to put up a gazebo. He put up a 12x20 Gazebo for me and it looks amazing!

Talks too much to get as much details as he can but then makes excuses to not do the job I am Updating the review now after he called and told me he will send someone and asked me to remove the Review before his tech arrives onsite, but I waited and found out he is not being honest, check the screenshots

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Max and Max from NOVAfix came out at the last minute to finish installing our main exterior door and storm door—and they were absolutely outstanding! Before scheduling the job, I sent the owner pictures showing what had already been done, what still needed to be completed, and where we had reached the point that we could no longer finish the project ourselves. He carefully reviewed everything and agreed that it was a job they could handle. What appeared to be a three- or four-hour job turned into more than eight hours because our back doorway was so old that nearly everything had to be removed and rebuilt. Max and Max tore out the old, uneven framing, built new framing, and even created new trim around the doorway because the existing rounded quarter-round was causing additional problems. They were extremely professional, polite, patient, and gracious throughout the entire process. My husband and I felt terrible that the job took so much longer than anyone expected, but they never complained, rushed, or cut a single corner. They kept us informed whenever additional materials were needed, cleaned up as they worked, and left everything spotless when they finished. They even made another trip to the store to purchase black caulk specifically for our black exterior storm door. I am certain many people would have simply used standard white caulk, but Max and Max cared enough to make sure every detail looked right. And did I mention it was raining? They still never stopped working! The finished doors look AMAZING. Do yourself a favor and call NOVAfix—you will not be disappointed. We will absolutely use them again for future home repairs…although after this unexpected eight-hour adventure, they may already have our number blocked! LOL. And lastly, to Max: HALLELUJAH! He knows why. 😂

Very unprofessional and unreliable. I sent this handyman pictures of the kitchen cabinets, as he requested, and he initially gave me an estimate of $600. He later increased it to $700, which I agreed to because the cabinets were about to fall and needed emergency repairs. He scheduled an appointment for the next day but was already three hours late. Then he texted me and raised the price again to $1,300—more than double his original estimate. He completely wasted my time and left me waiting during an emergency. I would not recommend him.

The gentleman was punctual and very professional. He did a really good job on the soffit and will be returning to take care of our fence.

Thumbtack customerAug 2026

Mark did an excellent job refreshing my interior window sill. The before-and-after speaks for itself — he removed the worn peeling pieces and transformed it into a beautifully finished detail in my home. He was easy to communicate with, and clearly takes pride in his work. Pricing was reasonable as well. I’m happy with the result and will confidently recommend him to others.

Thumbtack customerAug 2026

He did great work and was very precise with hanging multiple items I requested. Especially happy with how this wall turned out!
