He was able to send out a handyman at my next available time, which was less than a week later. The handyman arrived at the time quoted, and we went over the job. He was very respectful of our home, removing his shoes without being asked. He did the job efficiently and checked in along the way, which helped because there was a little confusion about which light to put on the garage. That was resolved quickly, and we were all set. I would recommend Loyal Handyman as a reliable, responsive company that gets the job done right.

Electrician Leo Nunez did a fantastic job upgrading the situation at my condo - ran a new cable through to my kitchen so my toaster over could have its own dedicated outlet. He showed me how the wires were actually burning and were a fire hazard before due to pulling so much power to the same outlet. 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. Leo was friendly, professional, and super punctual for both visits.

Scheduling was incredibly quick (they were able to get me in the very next day), and communication from the team was clear and proactive throughout the entire process. 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.

The repairman that I initially spoke with over the phone was super responsive and very polite. I was so impressed by the Yelp reviews and by the phone call that I immediately scheduled an appointment with him. After I finished setting up the service appointment we discussed the time, location, and other details. I immediately placed an order from my local hardware store and to have all the items (appliances) shipped to my home. The day before the scheduled appointment the repairman messaged me that he made a mistake and that he was supposed to schedule my appointment for the following day. He also mentioned that I did not send him a deposit to lock in my appointment as if I lost the appointment due to not paying him a deposit. I was confused! We never discussed a deposit or a deposit amount when I spoke with the handyman over the phone. I did not see the other Yelpers reference in their post anything about Zelle quick paying their repairman for a deposit. I thought something was odd I immediately thanked him for his time and told him I would not need his company to complete the repairs!

The quality of the work was excellent, but what stood out just as much was the professionalism around the job. Communication was prompt for a contractor, and while Dan can sometimes be hard to reach because he is clearly busy with clients, it is obvious why he is in demand. He and his team were respectful of the property and thoroughly cleaned the condo common areas of dust after the installation was complete. I will absolutely be using Costello Construction again for future work at our home and would confidently recommend Dan to anyone looking for a contractor who does high-quality work, prices fairly, and takes the details seriously.
