Dan came by to help us replace and install 6 smoke detectors at a very reasonable price. He was great with communication, punctual and organized. Will definitely hire again! Thanks for helping us! read more

Truly exceptional service. Dan is excellent - meticulous and intelligent and personable to boot. I don't often hire people because of Yelp reviews, but it sure paid off this time. Dan hung an old grandfather clock for me, but not before making sure all of the attachment points were repaired and old hardware bits were replaced. He treated it gently and professionally, like it was his own heirloom. Dan also helped us hang a new 65" TV, and was methodical about how level it was, which wire went where in the back, whether the screen was flush with my bookshelf; just awesome attention to detail. He even helped me carry out the old one and tidy up, none of which I was expecting. I'd have him back here in a heartbeat. Thanks so much, Dan! read more

This review is long overdue. I've been relying on Dan for several years now, and he's helped with everything in our home! From plumbing issues to electrical, from hanging art and mounting TVs to installing and fixing random things around the house - he's been amazing. Dan is friendly and professional, he's transparent with pricing up front, flexible with scheduling, he's always on time (or lets you know if the job before you is running long), and he never tries to price-gouge. The icing on the cake? We had a rescue dog who hated everyone and was afraid of his own shadow, but he loved Dan. That was all the confirmation we needed!! read more

Dan was super easy to communicate with, very transparent, and did great work! Would definitely hire again.

I've been looking for a good handyman for a while. Thanks to Yelp, I found Dan. The Handiest Man! Dan is an excellent communicator, focused, organized, and professional. And kind! Did I mention how kind he is? I had a big list of tasks, and he was able to take care of every one. I highly recommend Dan! I will definitely be hiring him again when I need some fixit! Thanks, Dan! read more

Dan is my go-to handyman, and I can't recommend him highly enough. Over the past couple of years, he has handled a wide range of projects for us, including installing new interior lighting, outdoor landscape lighting, security lights, and a new mailbox, as well as correcting mistakes made by other contractors. He has also completed numerous plumbing and electrical tasks, and there's very little he can't repair or install. Dan is extremely detail-oriented and very analytical in how he approaches problems. He often asks for photos ahead of time so he can diagnose the issue before arriving, which saves time and ensures the work goes smoothly. He's also very personable, easy to communicate with, and almost always able to get us on his schedule within a few days. His work is consistently high quality, thoughtful, and thorough. I trust his judgment and workmanship completely, and he has become an invaluable resource for maintaining our home. read more

I needed the bathroom fan replaced. Dan was a few minutes late but he messaged me and sent me an email. He was only a few minutes late. Very professional, quiet, got the work done. I have another project i need done. He looked at it, let me know it's not something he can do but he would message me the people/company he recommends. Good communication. Easy to set an appointment that worked for me. Will definitely utilize his services again, if and when I need. read more

I had several small projects that I needed help with and Dan was exactly the right person that I needed. He successfully completed every job on my list (+1) and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. For anyone reading this review ... don't hesitate to contact him for your handyman jobs ... you need not look any further. read more

WOW - Dan is the real deal. He was so easy to communicate with and it was nice to get a quote upfront that is reasonable and not by the hour. Dan went above and beyond with not only the service, but even made an exception to come out to our area. Despite the fact that I was unprepared, I ordered the wrong size table legs and we could have ordered new wheels for our sliding doors. Dan was so resourceful and figured out a way around all of it. He does an exceptional job and I would highly recommend to everyone! There is a reason he is so highly rated!! read more

Dan is great! Reliable, great communication and is very handy! I've used him twice for two small projects. He was very knowledgeable!

Dan is terrific. He carefully replaced an old ceiling fan and also repaired a piece of trim on the roof for me, and was polite and careful the entire time. I appreciate the flat fee and clear communication about what he expects, too. I'll be calling him again in future! read more

I had an issue with my garbage disposal not turning off, so I had to cut the electrical wires to get it to stop. I needed the electrical wires to be lengthened and repaired. Dan was very clear on what needed to be done via text and provided his estimate. He came in a few days later and did a great job in extending the wiring, replaced the outlet wiring properly and even attached housing for the wiring so it stays properly in place. Amazing job and he did it quickly! I would definitely recommend his services. read more

Dan The Handiest Man! - 75 inch tv wall mount - Handyman Near Me

I actually never even had the opportunity to use Dan. I saw great reviews of him on an old NextDoor posting so I reached out and he replied very quickly which is rare in his profession and told me he moved out of town 2 years ago. But then he then offered to teach me how to fix the problems I reached out to him for. Really? Unheard of. I didn't take him up on his generous offer but I really understand why he is rated so highly. His move away was our loss. read more

Great communication, straight shooter, up front pricing, dynamic problem solver. All around good guy.

Dan installed my microwave. Great service, availability and price. Highly recommended.

Totally forgot to set up another appointment with Dan the Handiest Man but he did a great job installing our new light fixture!

Dan came out to fix the doors on my backyard shed. He was very responsive, showed up on time, did great work, and charged a very reasonable rate.

I have a bed frame that has survived quite a few moves, where each one involved taking apart and assembling the bed back together. The last movers I had didn't do the greatest job at putting my bed back together. Last night I was laying in bed and felt a snap in my slats, I laid still hoping that it wouldn't get worse and then I heard some wood fall on to the floor. I legitimately considered buying a whole new bed frame, but decided to do some research on replacing bed slats. It looked like quite a task. I was hoping that this could be a job for a handy man. Through Yelp, I found Dan and was impressed with the bio on his website and the raving reviews. I sent him a message and he responded back that he could stop by the same day and provided me a flat rate quote that I thought was extremely reasonable. He showed up on time, was super friendly & polite, and we had a great conversation. He repaired my slats and did so much more than what I was expecting. I thought that he was just going to stick the piece of wood back in with some glue. But he removed all of the slats and did a bunch of magic work that I don't understand and now my bed is all fixed. I also really liked that he accepted Venmo. I'm definitely going to be having Dan as my main handy man for all future work! read more

Dan The Handiest Man! - Before Dan - Handyman Near Me

We hired Dan to take out and install a new bathroom fan/light/heater combo. Best decision ever! He was very thorough and ended up making a run to Home Depot to get an extra part for us. He gave us a flat rate fee at the beginning and was extremely cheaper than any of the other options around Portland. We now have him on speed dial for any other projects that come up! read more

Dan took care of some pesky problems in my garage: hanging my bike out of the way and my SUP and fixing the people door on my garage so it locks and latches.

Dan spent time reading the description of my light fixtures and ceiling fan that failed to work after about 20 years. After examining my photos he determined correctly that their technology was such that repairing them was not possible so new fixtures had to be purchased. I appreciate all the time he took to walk me through the process of investigation and suggestions for replacements. I would have been very happy to have him install the fixtures were we not able to do so ourselves. read more

Excellent communication. Dan was responsive to my request for information, requested some specific information from me about the bathroom fans I wanted replaced so he would know what was needed. He provided suggested products for me to buy so I would avoid any extra over-cost from him to obtain and provide. He appeared on time and the work was done in the time frame estimated. He left the work areas cleaner than when he arrived. Highly recommended. read more

This is my second review for Dan because I just can't say enough good things. My first review was 7ish years ago and he's still my #1 go-to. I've had him come to my business and my own home twice ( single woman with a drill but only 2 hands ) to install things I'm not brave enough to screw up or able to do on my own and I'm an avid DIYer. Thankfully, when I know I'm out of my depth, I call Dan :). *Thorough *Detail oriented *Communicative *Punctual *Priced Appropriately *Cleans when finished *One of the loveliest people you might ever meet. I genuinely look forward to the opportunity to hire him again. If you're looking for reliable help that will do it right the first time or better yet, be straight with you if it's something he can't do; Look no further. Save his number. You'll be glad you did. Thank you Dan. read more
