    Outside Lights
    James P.

    This is the second time I've used Handy Hippos and I will be using them again! This time they installed lights on the front of my house. They had to run wire with metal conduit in my garage to get them installed and they did a beautiful job! The first time they came out. They mounted a tv for me and it is exactly what I wanted!

    I love these guys! They help me with everything and they are like family now! I love how they are no BS and honest. Their times are very flexible (they work on weekends which is soo good for me as a student). I trust them so much since they will tell me if something needs to be done or not. Very reasonable prices, and will never mark up the cost of a job (receipts will always be given to me too for their materials!). Had lots of work done by them: -water filter installation -tv mount -laundry room paint & drywall -tile put into laundry room -cabinet reconstruction

    Working with the Handy Hippos team was one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. We used their services for TV framing initially, however, Bhavesh and his team were also experts when it came to audio / video installation as well as wire and cable management and we ended up using their services for much more. What stood out to me was how well Bhavesh communicated with me leading up to my appointment. He was super responsive and really served as a consultant to me in terms of what equipment, speakers, frames, cables, etc I needed in order to complete the project as desired. To top it all off- Bhavesh was a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating for me and my family. I highly recommend this company!

    I can't rave enough about Bhavesh and his team at Handy Hippos! First , let me start with the engagement communication- he was first to respond to an online bid, asked all the right questions and answered all my questions. He responded fast and immediately won my confidence. He was able to show up next day, came when he said he would. We had a quick chat and I could tell he was a friendly and very knowledgeable. He quickly got to work, had all the right tools. He ran two access outlets bringing power and coax to the TV. He did this without any damage to the drywall everything looks great (see all pictures). Furthermore, he ran a few longer HDMI cables to better accommodate my setup. He and his helper cleaned up and were friendly. On the way out they helped me move another tv upstairs. I will use them again and have already identified other projects to work on. Use these guys for all your handyman needs! A+!

    I bought a high-end TV that is a bit complex to install and they absolutely nailed the job. Bhavesh and his crew were professional, responsive, and friendly. I would hire them again in a second.

    I needed help mounting an 85" TV in my addition and Handy Hippos were the quickest to respond, quote me and schedule the visit. They were in and out in about 30 minutes. They used the mount I was sold with the TV and confirmed positioning with me multiple times including a painter's tape mockup of where it would sit to be 100% sure. They cleaned up after themselves both coming in and leaving, which is hugely appreciated (it was snowing outside). Will call again if I need any of the services they offer.

    My new TV looks great. My first big screen and I love it!

    I had them install my new, 65" TV and sound bar and they did a fantastic job. We had good communication, they did a fast, excellent job, and left the place cleaner than when they came. They do more than TV installation, so I plan on using them again with the many protects I have planned.

    Thanks so much Handy Hippos for the quick reply and appointment. HH arrived on time, installed 6 high tech dimmers and offered suggestions regarding dimmers, and other services offered.

    They were great! They made sure I was happy and came back to finish job after we found that my new tv was cracked. Fast outreach!

    Came to my house in 16 hours notice and mounted three flat screen TVs and a sound bar. Excellent job!

From start to finish, the entire experience installing my Samsung Frame TV was flawless. Scheduling was seamless, communication was prompt and professional, and they arrived exactly on time--even giving me a courtesy call 30 minutes beforehand. The installation itself was next-level. Stefan was extremely knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and clearly takes pride in his work. He took the time to ensure everything was perfectly aligned, secure, and clean. I especially appreciated his patience--he walked us through different height options and gave thoughtful recommendations. We even changed our minds during the measuring stage, and he happily showed us the new dimensions again and was very accommodating. He was quick and knew what he was doing, didn't need frame template. What really stood out was the attention to detail. I've never had an installer go the extra mile like this--Stefan and his partner spent time thoroughly cleaning the TV screen and even wiped down the console area. They didn't rush anything and made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it. The quality of work, professionalism, and overall experience exceeded all expectations. If you're looking for TV mounting, Stefan is absolutely my new go-to. I'll be recommending HDInstalls to all my friends and family without hesitation--and will definitely be using them again!

It was a bit of a tricky job due to the trim being arched, which meant it had to be traced and cut appropriately. I had the pleasure of contacting David, whom I asked several questions of how he would go about the process and I felt very comfortable with everything he walked through. He scheduled the work for a couple weeks out, text notifications let me know when he would be arriving and he was able to complete everything within a few hours. David cut the replacement beautifully using PVC so there is no maintenance on it in the future and caulked / sealed up all points of exposure to rain. He was very efficient, kind, and answered all the questions I had since I'm learning to do these kinds of tasks on my own. The pricing was extremely competitive and there's no question that I'll have David back pretty soon for other jobs around my home that I'm not comfortable handling. Highly recommended, thanks again David! Best, Charlie

    We contracted with Ted to install a ceiling fan in our home office. He was very repponsive on Yelp…read moreand quoted us a fair price for the install and any drywall cuts and repairs. Once he was here, we asked him his opinion on two wall switches in a different room that were not working, and he stayed longer (while I ran to Home Depot for new toggle switches) to fix both of them as well for just a little more added to our total. The fan install was a little more difficult than Ted anticipated, and it was an insane night in our home as well (my husband's car was at the shop and he needed it for work the next day so we had to get that taken care of while Ted was here working) - I'm sure he thought we were nuts, but he was very gracious and understanding about everything! The end results look great, and I am SO happy our light switches are working again - all of this was done for a third of the cost we were quoted by someone else to just do the install and paint the office ceiling (we ended up doing the painting ourselves anyway). We will definitely be calling on Ted in the future for all our other electical needs - he is knowledeable, quick, and neat. Thanks, Ted! Do not hesitate to give him a shout out if you need electrical work or wiring done.

    Budget Handyman…read more Tyler is a soft spoken guy and respectful. When I first met him he seemed trustworthy, but my experience with Tyler was not good. Therefore, I want to make some points that may help you if you are thinking of hiring him. First of all, Tyler sometimes cancelled his appointments to do work, and when he did not cancel, he was always late. I received many excuses from Tyler for why he could not come, including that he was sick with food poisoning, that he was having car problems, and that he was having problems with his phone. He was very apologetic when late, but he rarely texted or called to let me know he would be late. Furthermore, he would tell me he was going to get lunch and come back in about a half hour, only to come back close to two hours later. All of this would not have bothered me if he had completed the work adequately and there had been no other problems. I hired him to do sound proofing on a wall, and he did a good job on the wall. However, while working on the wall he accidentally got drywall mudding on the ceiling. He then attempted to fix the marks on the ceiling by painting over them. The problem was that even though he tried two shades of paint, he failed to match the color, which left me with two shades of paint on the ceiling.That's when things went wrong. I suggested it might be easier just to paint the whole ceiling since he couldn't match the color, and he responded with a text saying my ceiling was not covered in the payment and if I needed the ceiling repainted I would have to pay extra. Even worse, he claimed there were scuff marks on the ceiling that weren't his fault, despite the fact that my entire condo, including the ceiling, was painted before I moved in in March of this year. In other words, he made a mistake and then blamed me instead of fixing his mistake. Unfortunately, I had already paid him for the job at this point, and he never did fix his mistake. Please take this into consideration before you hire Tyler, so that you don't have an experience like I did.
