Dan has become my go to handyman for make ready work when one of my rental properties needs to be prepared for a new tenant. He's been a big help for those projects that I don't know how to do or I could do but it would take me 5x as long to figure out. Sometimes I have a list of "to do" and we simply divide-and-conquer to get the job done. So far he's helped me with: - Fixed a door jam that was scratched up by a dog (before and after photos uploaded) - Replaced weather stripping - Replaced bathroom faucets - Replaced bathroom lighting fixtures - Replaced showerheads - Replaced toilet seats - Replaced mini blinds - Touched-up chipped tile grout - Reattach faux drawer face below kitchen sink - Reattach laminate floor transition that was coming up He's also really good about itemizing his invoices so that I can see the total cost broken out by effort. This allows me to identify how much to apply to a tenant's security deposit vs. those charges that I am personally absorbing. I also really appreciate his flexibility to work on weekends. I work a full time job outside of the rental properties, so often weekends are my only option for make ready work. read more

I've called Dan twice in the past 2 mos for handyman services. Each time, he responded fast and was able to come out by the next day. We had a sauna installed, which Dan singlehandedly lifted into the house and put together within 2 hrs by himself! I was impressed with the speed of the job and how professional he was. Next, we called him to raise the couch for my husband, who is disabled and can't lift himself off such a low couch. Dan did a custom furniture riser with wood he stained and got from Home Depot. It was a difficult job and our couch looks beautiful sitting 8 more inches off the ground with the sturdy platform Dan created. I would recommend Handyman Dan for any job around the house!!! read more

Our toilet was running constantly. After 4 plumbers coming in, we called Dan. He came right in and fixed the issue. I'm certain our water bill will reflect soon. Thanks Dan. read more

I called Dan to install three ceiling fans in my new home. He did a good job and didn't stop for a moment until all the work was done. I didn't post a review then as I thought he did what was expected. Two months later two of the fans started clicking, so I messaged Dan on a Sunday asking him to call me to see what could be done. Less than an hour later Dan came by and spent more than 90 minutes diagnosing what the problem might be disassembling and reassembling, tightening, testing. Eventually all was well again and when I asked what I owed him for his travel and time he said "nothing, consider it warranty work". No one is perfect but a guy who stands behind his work is refreshing and should be rewarded. Dan is my guy for future work. Joe, Georgetown read more

I can't express how grateful I am for Dan's help. Not only was he able to help me out with my project (relocation of 2 overhead storage units and repatch of drywall) on very short notice but he did an amazing and detailed job. His work ethic and experience was very apparent in everything he did. He is also a extremely friendly and personable guy. Would highly recommend to anyone who's looking for any kind of handyman work. Thanks Dan! read more

I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone that is looking for professional, friendly and fast service! read more

Dan has completed several projects for my home. I love the service he provides because of his experience with window treatments. There have been several instances where I had the wrong materials and Dan was able to spot it out before drilling holes or beginning work where someone with little experience would have created a mess only to realize the problem with the hardware or items later, only to leave a mess and wall full of holes that need repair. Thank goodness for Dan!!! Because of this there are rescheduling situations and Dan is always willing to re-schedule due to my mix ups with a smile at the drop of a dime. I am not sure what I would do without Dan in our lives to help make our house a home. Thank you so much Dan!!!! I refer you to all my neighbors looking for work around their house for fixing. Especially window treatments which are my favorites read more

Handyman Dan arrived on time and mounted my 70" TV on the wall. He hooked up my washer and dryer, tightened my wobbly dining room table (I put it together and had a few screws left over..lol..girlfriend was pissed). This was the best $$ I've ever spent. I will be calling him again if I happen to have a few screws left over from another project. Cheers!! read more

Dan is very professional and did a excellent job installing my TV today. I called this morning and he came this afternoon to install the TV in my kids playroom. Will be calling again for future jobs. Thank you. read more

I contacted Dan to hang a couple mirrors that we had purchased and they were just a little much for me to handle. I called on 12/30 and he was at my house on 12/31 ready to go.

Glad we stumbled across Handyman Dan! read more

Recently purchased a condo in downtown Austin as an investment property. We had a whole slew of issues with broken and non-working items. Dan responded quickly. He installed our garbage disposal, fixed the dishwasher, and set us up with a portable air conditioning unit until the HVAC could get fixed. Just this morning I contacted Dan about an electrical job in another unit. Dan responded within minutes and let me know that while could not do the work himself on such short notice that he could get me in touch with someone who could. He gave me a referral for a licensed master electrician who contacted me immediately. We are very pleased with Dan's work and his professionalism. read more

Dan has done a variety of projects for us- hanging ceiling fans, handrail in bathroom, unclogging sink, hanging TV, etc. and all work has been done exceptionally well. He is quick to respond and on time. Appreciate the range of services he's able to provide. read more

We have a new ceiling fan in our living room! Dan was able to fit us in this weekend, and he installed a new ceiling fan twice. The first one was a dud, but the second one works like a charm. He was very personable, and patient and tenacious. So pleased he could make it work. Would hire him again! read more

He saw me struggling to reach the tree limbs in my yard and offered his help after servicing my neighbor. I found out that he had helped me during his lunch break! He went above and beyond the call of duty! read more

Dan showed up and fix my issue with Professionalism and a great attitude. Once he fix my issues that I called him about(a broken drawer) then he corrected a ceiling fan that had been rocking for 4 years.. It was a little extra but this customer is so happy. It is the small things that make a difference between the usual and the extra mile. This is what Dan did for me and I would recommend that you call Dan for any of your Honey Do list you need done.. read more

Handyman came to my door, within 10 hours of my request and had a bathroom light fixture completely replaced and cleaned up within one hour. He was very transparent the entire time. He is also a very personable and respectful guy. He advised me on three other projects, which will ultimately save us 100's of dollars. Ask him how he got the name HandyMan Dan. He was teaching me how to hang light fixtures in the future and sent me youtube videos that will teach me how to replace a hot water cartridge. 5 stars, all the way. If you don't go with Handyman Dan, you are dumb. If the other people had a problem with the service or price, then they either don't get the biz, or they just weren't honest enough to ask him right away. read more

Dan is professional and respond quickly.. he knows what his doing I always call him every time something needs to be done and he does it very precise.. he makes sure you are happy before he leaves.. I've never use any Handyman other than Dan.. he's superb and very trustworthy. He's not the cheapest but it's all worth it :) Thank you Dan! read more

He does an okay job, but since he gets paid hourly, you could tell he was dragging the time on (or he is REALLY slow at his job). He just wants money from you so if you're okay with that and his slowness, go ahead, hire him. No, he's not bad and he doesn't have a horrible mean personality, but he's only interested in getting money. read more

Found Handyman Dan on Yelp, and saw his rating and contacted him about a troublesome front door that has had some water entering into my home when it rains and not knowing where it was coming in. I sent an email and he texted me back asking for photos of my front door and made a recommendation to get a storm door because the door was low enough to concrete/rock that rain water was most likely splashing into the door sweep and getting in there. I ordered the storm door and had him come out to install it. When scheduling with him I was expecting it to take awhile, but to my pleasant surprise he was able to come out the next day to install it. Dan arrived a few minutes early than what we scheduled, which is a huge plus. Took Dan about a little bit over an hour to install the storm door, which is way faster than if I had attempted to do it myself. After he was done, I thought I would get an estimate for some blinds that needed to be installed as well and then schedule that for a later date, but again, to my surprise Dan said that he could take care of that as well while he was there to avoid having to wait about a week to do it. Dan was incredibly polite, professional, and also has a very entertaining personality. I am very happy with the work that was done and the overall experience. The entire cost of work was reasonable (I don't have a lot of experience with other handyman/contractors to compare prices, but it was less than I would have guessed it cost). Definitely will be contacting Dan again for any future handyman tasks. read more

Dan is a great handyman and honors his warranty work!!! He did a great job fixing a shower enclosure leak we were having. After a year the leak cameback due to a shower liner. He repaired and replaced it free of charge. I highly recommend Dan!! read more

Be careful with Dan. He is not transparent with his pricing and will sneak in extra charges if he can. He told me on the phone to never call him again after I refused to pay his extra charges. He then threatened to put a lein on my house over refusing to pay his sneaky and not agreed charges. I guess this was some kind of bully tactic. He really likes to talk. Although he thinks he is friendly, no one really cares about his odd stories. When he is talking, he is not working and therefore the job takes a really long time. read more

Handyman Dan is an awesome handyman. He hung multiple shelves in my new apartment and hung a few paintings. Everything he hung is spot on level and exactly where they should be. He's very friendly and arrives at the time he says he will. I will recommend him to everyone and call him when I need more things done. read more

Dan was polite, didn't really show up at time was supposed to, but his son injured himself so he explained it to me very well. I would def. use Dan for small one hour jobs, but for example I had a fence repair job, at his rate of $40/hour & how many hours he thought it would take him, it was MUCH cheaper to go with professional Fence Repair companies who have a warranty, more experience, probably do it in 1/3 the time and lots of other perks (by much cheaper, I'm talking about $700). So for an hour job I would def. use him as he is reliable, once you start getting above 2-3 hours, I'm not sure its worth it. read more

Dan is personable and friendly. I thought his hourly rate of $40 was quite reasonable (plus a $20 trip charge), but his work pace was not fast. However, his work quality was solid and he did a nice job of installing some wood blinds and replacing a thermostat. read more

Dan did a great job on a handful of minor projects. He showed up a little early to go over the four projects which mostly involved securely hanging various shelves, racks and pictures. He took care to get everything precisely positioned where I wanted and made sure I was happy with the work done. I'll look forward to working with Dan again. read more

I had Dan out to repair some trim that had to be removed due to water damage. His rates were very reasonable, he was very flexible with his time, and he did quality work. I would definitely recommend him for all small jobs around the house. It was refreshing to see a handyman that does all his own work, instead of charging you a high rate and dropping off less than skilled workers while they hop from site to site supervising. I will definitely call Dan for the next job that requires a skilled handyman. read more

We had to get dry walls patched and painted. Dan was excellent in his service, on time and did a fantastic job. He went above and beyond to help us paint few spots around the house even though he wasnt required to. Will highly recommend him! read more

Dan is a very nice guy and a great handyman! He did several jobs for me last year. I was so pleased with his work that when I needed a handyman this week,Dan was number one on my list! read more

Dan was easy to schedule, affordable, stayed until the job was done and did great work with a great attention to detail. Very friendly and knowledgeable to boot. He helped us save money by pointing out things that could be done cheaper through a specialty contractor, different fixtures or even Home Depot installations rather than smiling and taking our money. I'm already building up a new list of things I'd like him to help with to come back!!! read more

Caveats: I live out-of-state and own a tenant-occupied house that was built in 1974 and was a "fixer-upper" when we bought it in 2006. Maybe it is the above info that makes it so hard to find a great handyman. I don't know. But when I first contacted Dan I had really high hopes based on all the great reviews. I explained that we really needed was a handyman we could send a "To Do" list to and they could take it from there....set up appointment with tenant and follow-thru until list was complete. It never really worked out that way. Lots of calls/explanations/rescheduling with tenants/confusion over to do list/confusion over parts needed/etc. The final straw was the 4th (or 5th?) scheduled appointment that Dan arrived at and immediately told tenants he couldn't stay to complete any of the work.....just dropped by to cancel in person. He seems like a really nice guy to sit and chat with. Maybe if you are on site and really flexible with your time he'd be a good fit. The amount of time and money I spent, though, to try and get a pretty basic list complete (we're talking installing a kitchen sprayer, touch-up painting, putting on a screen door, etc....) wasn't worth the hassle. 3 1/2 months after first contacting him, my tenants have thrown up their hands in frustration, and I'm moving on.... read more

Dan demonstrates a very high level of integrity about his craftsmanship that I don't see much of these days. He's a great guy -- affable, knowledgeable, punctual, respectful, and above all, honest. He cares a great deal about getting the job (even very small jobs that other contractors might deem unworthy) done right. And if he is unable to do a particular job in question, he will be honest with you about it rather than trying to do a shoddy job just for the money. His speedy turnaround time and the fact that he himself does the work (rather than sending out a subcontractor) is greatly appreciated. We definitely will hire Dan again for future projects. read more

We had a huge armoire that we needed to get into our bedroom. So we called up Dan to see if he could possibly help. Due to the bad angling of how the house is built we had been told by everyone it was impossible to get it in the room. But DAN made it happen! With no damage and only taking 30 mins or less it is now in our room! We will definitely call Dan in the future! read more

Dan assembled a desk for me and did a very good job. During the process, one of the desktop pieces got scratched (accidentally of course). Dan was extremely apologetic and walked me through the process of getting the replacement piece (it was under warranty so no cost) and then he came back out to replace the damaged piece for no charge. read more

Dan does great work. I called to have him fix up a couple door frames and some shoe molding my dog had done some damage to as a puppy, and other miscellaneous patch ups in my apartment. He was available within a day or two and fixed up everything in a short afternoon, all for a fair price. Dan was easy to arrange/schedule everything with, and he's a real nice guy so it was nice to talk with him while he worked. I would recommend to anyone. read more

Dan helped hang our family pictures and art on our walls, very well done. He measured and was patient with me while making decisions as to where to hang them. He also changed our back door for us. Very happy with his work. read more

I would recommend Dan to anyone. A humble individual who knows how to fix things. If you want an honest price and a good person I highly suggest you go with Dan! read more

I called Dan about installing a new storm door. He responded the next day and was able to come out and install it that day. He did a great job! I'm very pleased with how the door looks and functions. He fixed some rotting wood on the door frame so that the door would attach well. Dan was also very personable and has a good sense of humor. I'd call him again for other handyman jobs at my house. read more

Dan does very high quality work for reasonable prices. He can fix just about anything in your house and he provides excellent advice and customer service. There are cheaper options, but if you want your job done right he's the guy. read more
