Ray did a great job completing a few repairs/installations in our home. He was quick and professional. Would definitely recommend!

Quick response and scheduled right away. 100% recommend! 10/10. He came when he promised and did a fantastic job. Highly recommend.

Ray was super helpful in getting a staircase banister post stabilized. Very professional work and the cost was exactly what he promised. I plan to ask him for help restoring a 100 year old piece of furniture next. read more

You cannot possibly get a better quality experience than from Pro Assist. Ray has done several jobs for us, and we have never had even one minor issue. The jobs were done on time, at the price quoted, and most importantly done RIGHT! The quality of work is amazing, and your place will be left with a great result, clean, and ready to go. I cannot recommend a service any higher. if I could give ten stars, I would. we look forward to having more work done for us, and you just can't say that about many other businessses. read more

Ray was fantastic! We hired his service to mount more than a dozen wall art for a residential Clubhouse and model home. Ray is meticulous, has a keen eye for measurements, provided helpful suggestions and needed little direction to understand the vision we had. Looking forward to booking him again for future interior design projects on the pipeline. read more

Pro Assist - Ray installing huge barn door for us - Handyman Near Me

Ray is an AWESOME GUY! Not only was the work done very well, it was also done RIGHT. Ray and his team absolutely care about what they do and have the skill to go the extra mile. They also wore masks properly which meant so much to us, because we have an elderly family member we take care of living with us. We had a very heavy mirror installed inside and a basketball hoop mounted to the back of our home. His prices are great & he does excellent work! read more

Ray is highly professional. He communicates attentively in advance, arrives on time in a tool-stocked van, and conducts excellent work. Prior to the job, he reviews any documentation to provide a fair, accurate quote and prepare for the work. It's nice to have a dependable, trustworthy handyman in Ray. read more

Another great job by Ray at Pro Assist!! This guy is a pleasure to work with!! I can't say enough good things about his workmanship. He is a pleasure to use!! He's considerate, timely and neat!! He's a very fast worker...does not mark up the parts he uses and his charges are so extremely reasonable. Unfortunately it was an afterthought but he is so reasonable that I should have tipped him at least $20!! If you need any work done...then this is your guy!! P.S. this is our 3rd time that we used his services!! I wouldn't bother with anyone else!! read more

What *can't* Ray do?? I had a whole laundry list o' stuff and he knocked them all out - all while fending off my "helpful" dogs. - Furniture assembly: three dining chairs (I was able to put together one, but gave up on the others out of frustration) and a console table - Curtain rod installation - Shower head replacement - Mirror and giant, old Chinese panel mounting on spare bedroom and office walls, respectively - Demonstration of how to work the gas fireplace All that for what I thought was a great price. I would not hesitate to hire him and/or recommend him to others. read more

Ray Lota is the owner of Pro Assist. He is a wonderful handyman who goes above and beyond to deliver quality service in a timely manner. I reached out to him some weeks ago. We arranged a meet and greet where we walked through my house and I pointed out what I would like done. In some cases he steered me to a less expensive option than I had considered. We agreed that I should gather what I needed and he would return and take care of everything in one visit. Ray showed up on time, equipped with everything he needed for my multitude of different tasks. In about three hours, he planed three doors, hung three curtain rods and curtains, put up a hand towel ring, removed an in-the-way towel bar, moved some heavy items for me, assembled a TV stand from Wayfair, assembled some exercise equipment I had moved cross country, and helped me finish assembling a bathroom organizer (another Wayfair item) that was not fitting the way I needed it too - was too wobbly - and he used his expertise to fix what might have been an expensive waste of money. At the end, he cleaned up. He swept up after he had planed three doors in my garage and I could not find any indication that a saw and a lot of wood chips had recently occupied the space. He was careful about his equipment, coiled his cords and made sure everything was back in his truck before sitting down and calculating his fee for his three hours. He charges by the job and his fee was very competitive with what other handymen had quoted me - for less work - and many weeks out. I look forward to hiring Ray for my next project. read more

I cannot say enough good things about the tremendous service professionalism timeliness and quality of the work done. I had a well loved Murphy bed that had been transported cross country and was missing pieces. And it looks like brand new and works better than it did in my old place! Amazing. read more

Ray did an incredible job installing a new murphy bed we ordered from wayfair.com. He was a true professional not only taking care of everything he said he would, but recommending a few minor things during installation that would make all the difference in the world for safety for my 4 kiddos. He was incredibly professional, trustworthy, and dependable. Even before the work he confirmed on the phone the exact time and date he would be at my house for the installation and was a man of his word. He even offered to go above and beyond the call of duty and take away the boxes that the bed arrived in. It was a wonderful experience working with Ray and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for installation help or handyman work. Thanks Ray! read more

Ray was timely in messaging me back. I had a day that I was able to be home and he accommodated. The job was uninstalling a OTR microwave and reinstalling a new one. He messaged me the day he was to arrive making sure it was still good. He showed up at the time he said wearing a mask. He was very professional and also very nice. He discussed the price before the job and kept to the same price. He was organized, neat and cleaned up after himself. His price was actually the best I had received and his work was spot on!!!! Thanks Ray :) read more

Ray installed outside coach lights for our home at a competitive price. He even suggested sealing/ coaking the peripherals of the light fixtures so that the inside don't get wet. His sealing work was amazingly meticulous. It's very hard to find a trustworthy contractor like Ray. read more

I'm updating my review for Ray because he really is awesome! His prices continue to be the most competitive for a handy man in the area. He prices it based on the job and doesn't just have a set per hour price. He is also always quick to respond and can get you on his schedule fairly easily. Although we can hang curtain rods on our own, this rod was going on wallpaper and my husband has a knack of measuring once and putting screws in the wall twice. Obviously with wallpaper there is no room for error. We also had a large 48" mirror hung that weighed at least 50 pounds. I gave Ray super specific measurements for each on where I wanted them. I couldn't remember what I said and had to keep consulting my paper, Ray remembered first shot and double checked with me to be 100% and off he went. The mirror itself was super tricky to hang as everything had to line up perfectly for the mirror to sit correctly on the wall. Then to get such a big piece up and aligned isn't an easy feat. If my husband and I had tried it, it probably would have taken three hours and we would still have had to call Ray. Save yourself the arguments and the stress and just call Ray, you won't be disappointed! read more

We are launching a new business and installed a door incorrectly (thankfully our business is not handyman services). We were really under the gun to fix it quickly due to a open house we had scheduled at the new office, so I reached out to Yelp to get quotes. Ray was one of the three I selected to hear from, and he was the best quote by far. When he got here, he was fast, friendly and professional. Now our door looks and operates perfectly. Highly recommend Ray to you all, as I will be using him for all handyman services in the future. read more

Couldn't say enough good things, Ray is amazing! Always helping with my home maintenance needs. Great personality, great service. Highly recommend him to all of my friends. read more

We had worked with Ray once and he did a fine job. The next two times he was a no-show with no phone call- . The first no show we were told was just an incredible family emergency and he couldn't call. A phone call seems never to hard to make but hey- when really big things happen I get it. Your head is in another place. Then apologizing he rescheduled and just didn't call/ didn't show again. He does good work but that was unprofessional and a time waster. I was waiting around snd planned two days around it snd not even a call. read more

Handyman Ray was the best. He arrived on time and hung up both my TV in no time. Besides putting up the wall mount he actually hung up my TV and hooked up the sound system and then ensured I liked placement and angles! He also went through the house and hung up 30 pieces of artwork without having to put a million holes in the wall. Will be using again! read more

Ray did a fantastic job removing our old, broken built in microwave and then installing a brand new microwave over our stovetop! I could not have asked for better service. Pro Assist sets a high bar for handyman service in the Triangle. He showed up on time, did a fast, professional install and then cleaned up the work area. He even took the time to adjust a cabinet hinge, without me asking, just because he noticed it was working loose. Pro Assist is as good as it gets for home handyman service! read more

Ray and his team were absolutely phenomenal to work with. Couldnt be happier that I found him. His prices,diligence, and expertise even when unexpected issues arose were comforting. Cant wait to work with Ray again-look no further read more

Ray Lota at ProAssist has my highest recommendation. He is professional, courteous, timely and takes such good care of your furniture when assembling it. He is thoughtful, anticipates future issues and a problem solver. I strongly recommend him him for all of your furniture and hardware assembly needs, office or home! read more

I can't say enough about the quality of work Ray did for us. From start to finish he was professional, punctual, and always wore a mask when speaking to my wife and me. He did an outstanding job assembling and installing 9 cabinets, including cutting out the base molding to allow the cabinets to be flush with the wall. I will definitely use Ray again for any future work and will gladly recommend him to anyone who needs his services. read more

Ray was lovely! I hired Ray to mount a tv for me above our fireplace. He was very responsive through the Yelp messenger to communicate about pricing and scheduling. While he was in my home, he was very friendly and professional, and explained to me what he was doing and why in a way that made it easy to understand. I would definitely hire Ray for future projects and highly recommend him to others too! read more

I came across Pro Assist on yelp this Monday afternoon and left Ray a text explaining a small job at home I needed done. He promptly responded and scheduled a visit for next day. He arrived on time, was very professional and I am glad I reached out to him. He does all kind of handyman work though he specializes in assembling things together (especially new furniture). I'll be calling him for my next job and am glad to recommend his services to my fellow Yelpers! read more

Pro Assist is a wonderful service with excellent levels of customer orientation. Ray was prompt and courteous in his communication, and gave me a competitive quote. He is experienced and that showed in his work. I ran into issues with IKEA's delivery and Ray was flexible and understanding. Highly recommended. read more

I had a great experience with Ray from beginning to end. I recently moved to Raleigh and ordered 2 larger Ikea pieces (cheat & dresser) for the bedroom and once I opened them I knew I couldn't assemble all the pieces alone. I contacted Ray through yelp after seeing reviews in the beginning of the work week, and he was scheduled to come just days later. He text back quickly and catered to the times I was available. He took basically an hour and a half with his team, super quick. I highly recommend and will call Ray in the future. read more

Ray is a great all-around Mr. Fix-it!! I called him to make some repairs on furniture that was damaged in our recent move. A chair that had a loose leg, an end table that needed to be re-assembled after several screws were lost and not easy to find locally. It was a bit of a puzzle to put back together, but Ray had the right materials, and professionally assembled the table good as new. He also reattached the back of our entertainment center after back detached. Using furniture screws, he reattached the back, and it is more secure than when we purchased the piece. He also hung a hose mount on the side of the house. We were very pleased with his work and how quickly everything was accomplished. His pricing was very reasonable too. We will definitely contact Ray again. read more

Great service, Odell assembled my bench press and followed up after a few days to make sure everything was working well.

I just moved to Chapel Hill and needed to have a pergola and buffet put together. Ray was AWESOME!! He was very professional, very quick, and did a fabulous job on both projects. He's fair-priced and has a very pleasant demeanor. I will undoubtedly be using him again in the future and I highly recommend him. read more

Ray was extremely responsive, friendly, and professional. We had ordered a number of desks for our office. Ray was able to build all our desks in a timely fashion, made sure everything was working and in order, and the office was put back together before he left. He was on-time and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him for an job. It was nice having a professional take care of the labor so we could continue focusing on our work. Five stars! read more

Ray is the best! He's helped us with so many home projects and is truly a jack of all trades.

Not sure what we'd do without him! read more
