Fitness equipment assembly

I thank you for great work you did in assembling the project. Excellent job and highly recommended.

Gazebo assembly

Absolute pleasure to work with! Nicest guy you will ever meet and cares about the quality of his work. We will be calling him for more work in the future! If you don’t use his services you are truly missing out on a great overall experience.

Deadbolt and lock replacement

Had a potential Major front door replacement project due to homeowner (me) incompetence, but Jack at Modern Handyman felt we could repair rather than replace. So instead of a costly solution that may have taking too long before my daughters graduation party this was fixed within a day. I was very satisfied.

Tony S • Batavia

Basketball hoop relocation

I booked John to dissemble an outdoor basketball hoop so it could be transported to our new home. He fit us in between another jobs and got it done sooner than I even expected. Much appreciated!

Lynn H • Aurora

Bathroom remodel

Jack will definitely be our go-to handyman for our future remodeling projects, as he has vast knowledge/experience with home remodels. He was quick to respond to any and all questions, in addition to being knowledgeable in his trade. Also, he was flexible with our need to get our project done in less than a day and helped us with additionally requested work of fixing some drywall. Overall, his work removing/installing our bathroom vanity top was well-done and appreciated!

Tara I • Geneva

Kitchen improvements

Jack was great to work with. Within an hour of posting my project I had the scheduled time to do the work. Throughout communication was great.
He installed a floating shelf in the kitchen and worked on a wine cabinet to make the electrical outlet accessible. Everything looks great!
I loved the ``no job is too small or too big`` experience.
I am already lining up more projects hoping that Jack can help me out with.

Dora J • Geneva

Misc. assembly and installation

Jack was awesome... He was very responsive, showed up on time and did a great job quickly and efficiently putting together my bathroom shelves and a bar cart for my deck!

Michelle J • North Aurora

Multiple IKEA assembly projects

Jack was wonderful to work with! I have worked with him on three different occasions and each time he was very quick and produced quality work! I look forward to working with him again in the future!
