    New struts on roof hatch door
    Gina L.

    Ken is awesome. I asked for his help with my unique issue - our roof hatch door desperately needed replacement gas struts. The door was so heavy to lift, and a previous contractor messed them up terribly to the point where the hatch door only opened up about 6 inches (we were unable to crawl out of it). Ken saved the day - he researched and sourced the correct struts for our hatch door (which was a challenge in and of itself) and completed the work in less than a few hours. The hatch door finally opens fully again, and it's so light that we are no longer breaking our backs pushing it up and open. Highly recommend Ken, he's smart, creative, and does seriously quality work for a great price. Thank you Ken, we can finally enjoy our roof again!

    Before

    Ken is amazing! Needed someone to repair damaged tile after a contractor ripped out shower doors. Called Ken and he actually answered the phone! Told him what I needed and he was available immediately. He was on time, was super easy to work, did a fantastic job, and left the area spotless. You would never know that it was a patch job. Being a landlord, I deal with contractors all of the time and this guy is a gem. I hit the jackpot!

    Ken removed an old A/C unit and beautifully patched inside and outside of our home.

    Ken removed an old A/C unit (we got a mini-split system and did not need it any more) and beautifully patched inside and outside of our home (see uploaded photos!) He also did the entire job in one day. I was super impressed with his skills dealing with vinyl siding and indoor framing, drywall, and patching. He was very easy to work with and communicative throughout the whole process. He even fit us in during a very busy time for him. We were SO impressed with his work and would definitely use him again and recommend Ken for your project!

    After

    Ken built and installed an IKEA kitchen in our rental unit along with a few other projects. He did a beautiful job! He was communicative, fair, kind, and did great work. He problem solved and figured out things along the way. Our 1890's home was no problem for him and he had suggestions and improvements we hadn't even asked for. He can do it all! We loved working with Ken and plan to use him in the future.

    New medicine cabinet installed. Painting repair is my responsibility to fix.
    Sally C.

    Ken did a wonderful job. He removed a cabinet in my bathroom and installed a large medicine cabinet in its place. He did such a great job and was so kind and professional. He offered to repaint, but I opted to have my Dad finish that at a later date.

    Ken repaired a door jam for us and did a great job! I would recommend him for anyone looking to do small-medium remodels or repairs.

I would recommend Loyal Handyman as a reliable, responsive company that gets the job done right.

He also hard-wired a new power strip in my office and another in my bedroom, replacing the tangled and unsightly mess of extension cords. Everything looks so much neater and organized.

A special shoutout to Miguel, who handled the work -- he was fantastic. He arrived right on time, was extremely professional, kept the workspace clean, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing. This wasn't a simple install -- it required mounting hardware into a brick wall with proper anchors and sealing -- and Miguel executed it perfectly. The quality of the work is excellent, and everything feels solid and secure. You can tell they take pride in doing things the right way, not just the fast way. Also appreciated how organized the whole process was -- from quote to scheduling to final invoice, it all felt very well run. Value for money, this was worth it. Highly recommend Fix It People, and if you can, ask for Miguel! Will definitely use them again.

    I don't know why I ever bothered contacting anyone else for handyman services…read more Michael has come up more than once when someone in the neighborhood Facebook group has been seeking a handyman. It was my fault that I didn't go with him from the get-go. I had experiences with two others that were terrible: The first one installed a couple things that were falling out by the time he left, and the second one apparently doesn't need business because he didn't respond to me for over 10 days after coming to take a look at what I needed. But anyway, this review is about the AWESOMENESS that is Michael! He responded within a day of my contacting him, which was a great place to start. He asked me to let him know what I needed and set up a time within a week or so. Then he contacted me to let me know he'd had a cancellation and could come three days earlier if I wanted! Yes please!! Michael is so personable. I liked him from the moment I opened the door, literally. One of the first things he said to me was "Can I tell you something about this door?" Apparently he has lots of customers who don't realize their storm doors have a screen and wanted to show me (I already knew though!). The most important task I had for him on this visit was to reattach the handrail that had been removed by some movers, and which had before they removed it been loose and coming out of the wall. That handrail is now rock solid. I honestly think I could hang from it (and I'm not a small gal) and it would not budge. He patched the drywall from where it had been coming out of the wall, and then he checked the remaining four or five handrails in the house to make sure they are equally as strong. He also gave tips on some filters for the furnace, and suggestions for smoke detectors--which was very timely, because I had been researching them before he visited. He's not inexpensive but he's worth every darn penny. I won't ever use another handyman whilst I live here, and I'm already feeling sad in my heart that if/when we do move, it'll probably be to a near suburb or outlying neighborhood like Norwood Park that he doesn't service and I'm mourning the loss of this awesome dude as my go-to handymensch.

Before coming out, he suggested we try something to see if we easily could fix it ourselves, essentially, potentially talking himself out of a job. When we couldn't, he came out. Between the email exchange and the visit, I came up with a list of to do's, including the disposal, toilet issues, door and shelf issues, lighting problems, etc. In addition to fixing them all, he gave me a long list of ideas and recommendations and easy fix its from air filters to fire/carbon monoxide detectors, to ceiling fans, to water heaters, and the list goes on. All in an hour. It was a tremendous value for the money. I can't recommend Michael enough.
