Dave is great in a bunch of ways. First, he's extremely competent. He'll do a great job. Second, he has some brains and understands what you're trying to do. He will work with you and make reasonable and good suggestions. Third, he will save you money. Lots and lots of money. We had an old water heater that went out, which was a real problem because we have baseboard heat. So, we really needed a water heater. We had a quote from our heating company and Dave said he could beat the quote. He got us a continual hot water heater, installed, for about $4K less than what we had been quoted. Work was top notch. We have hired Dave for several projects, not the least of which was replacing the hot water heater. A major project was renovating our garage. His work was great but a lot of it was during the winter, which meant that there were a number of people who were calling about heaters and issues with their house affected by the cold. When we needed a hot water heater, our work went to the top of the list. When it's January and some of the garage needs to be finished, work for others that is really important in the Alaska winter (like water heaters and other issues) went to the top of the list. I suppose I could bitch about that but I also recognize that the time line of my garage being finished isn't a matter of life and death. Fixing someone's heat or hot water or other matters can be life or death in an Alaska winter. I figure it's better to have a really competent handy man with a conscience than making sure my garage is his A#1 priority. So when his timeline for finishing our garage gets delayed because he's fixing the heat on an elderly couple's house, I don't worry. All in all, Dave's done excellent work. He's also been completely up front and 100% honest and done a great job. I've recommended him to friends of ours who are older and need real help because I know he will do a competent job and be honest about his services. That is, I know he will do a good job and I don't have to worry about him overcharging them. My wife and I are already discussing our next projects with him. I don't know if I can give a higher recommendation than that. read more

Palmer HandyMedics - Our constant hot water heater installed by Dave and his crew. - Handyman Near Me

Great service and great repair. Good communication from start to finish. Reasonable pricing. Definitely recommend.

Genuinely the most atrocious service we have ever had. We had multiple services done by them and each time they continued to mess things up worse each time. We had cleaning done by Mallory We paid for 5 hours in which she asked us to vacuum 3 of the rooms ourselves, she did not stay the full 5 hours as she said she was "finished". The master bedroom and bathroom did not get touched at all, there was residue left behind from cleaning products, and everything was swept under counters. This was after our first scheduled day she never showed due to being a double booking and then we had no response about why no one showed until hours later. She also said our fridge was "uncleanable" and wouldn't clean it so we had to reclean everything and then do the fridge that was "uncleanable". She had also told her boss our carpets couldn't be cleaned so the day we had scheduled for carpet cleaning after they forgot it was in the contract no one showed or said anything until we reached out to find out where they were. The same day after rescheduling yard service after another no show they were late and let a dog loose. We had asked that they dont spray with anything as we have dogs we didnt find out until later that they had sprayed anyways after the dogs have already been outside. We have also had repairs done and while the big things were fixed the smaller things we have reminded them we need them fixed several times and still nothing. So after all the rescheduling and no shows we have had to postpone taking pictures and putting our house on the market several times now on top of recleaning when we had paid for someone to do it and then endangering our pets. There has been little to none accountability I would highly recommend using anyone else as using this company is more headache then it is worth and not worth your money. read more

Dave is an amazingly talented, honest, kind, and efficient contractor. I was so lucky to find him. His communication is top notch and his pricing is good! He fixed a damaged and old garage door for me on very short notice at a reasonable price...... and I live in Willow! read more

Billing is sloppy. Original invoice was paid in full on the day received. Two weeks later got a "late payment " notice claiming another $250 owed! Doubled the cost, which turned it from a reasonable price into the usual absurd charge. Never again. read more

Dave and his company are a life saver. I don't know of anything he can't do. He is diligent, pays attention to the smallest of details and his pricing is fair. If there is anything you need done (and done well) this is the person you should call. read more
