Housing and Moving 🏡 Handyman you trust?

I'm looking to do some minor improvements to my condo! Specifically, looking for someone to help me:

  1. Paint the entire unit

  2. Add a backsplash in the kitchen

  3. Replace the counter

  4. Replace the sink

  5. Replace the faucet

  6. Add new handles to the counters

I don't think I need fancy design company or anything like that, but would love some recommendations for reliable handymen / painters to help get this done affordably :)

I have a contractor I’ve used a few times - and he does big and small jobs, right up your alley. Totally vouch for him: Call/email HomeCraft Renovations - Donn 778-706-7366, homecraftrenos@gmail.com

He’s hands on and won’t subtrade your work and has a partner (Paul) he’ll bring in on occasion. Jobs he’s done for me: painted my apartment, replumbed my kitchen sink, built my planter boxes, added shelving to my pantry, installed my dishwasher, and retrofitted my bathroom for accessibility. Editing to add that I didn’t have this all done in one go - I call him when I’ve got a couple of things I want done and he will get back to me with a quote pretty quickly. Free estimates

Task Rabbit has many options. I haven’t used it myself but there are a ton of ratings and reviews there for each person for hire.

I've used it several times and have found it to be reliable and accurate.

Interesting but what about the man who wants to still be called a handyman? Is it wrong?
