I recently used Summit Handyman Services to install a new kitchen faucet. My husband and I were very pleased with their work. The installation was done perfectly and for a fair price. The installers were personable and left my kitchen without any mess to clean up. I will definitely use them for my next project. If you want someone who performs good work, is reliable and friendly Summit is for you. read more

I have used Dave's Handyman services both at my office and at my home. He is honest, efficient, respectful, and does quality work. His prices are fair and the job is done right. Some of the work Dave and Gene have done for me between the office and home includes: slow draining sink and tub in a rental unit, replacement of a dishwasher, frame out and build a wall in a small office space, install signs onto exterior of brick building, replace a garbage disposal and repair the cabinet base. I will not hesitate to contact Dave in the future for a variety of handyman needs. read more

Dave came out to put up a drop ceiling in my basement. He asked for an estimate of the size of the basement to give me a quote. Then he shows up saying it was a lot bigger than he expected. I should have walked away then. Because we want to get this done we engage him to do the work. He makes some suggestions on how we can save money which is appreciated however in hindsight I think would have cost more in the long run. Before work begins I leave Dave a check-list of items I'm concerned about. One of the items was, make sure the canned lights are centered in the tile when you cut the holes out. It was that way before and would look stupid if not done that way. Dave decided that it couldn't be done and he was going to do it his way. Which was curious because you know, they were centered before. Additionally, he asked about the old tiles to use as templates for the new tiles and I could clearly see one of the old tiles lying against the wall where the hole was centered. TL;DR I specifically asked Dave to do a thing which he found he couldn't do. Instead of communicating with me (his customer) about this specific thing I requested which he found he couldn't do, he decided to go out on his own without communicating with me at all. So of course I come home and see what he's done and am upset I gave him a dime. read more

I had Dave return for a second project in lincolnshire IL. Again, Dave arrived on time and immediately got to work. Dave reconstructed and leveled a step, and installed sturdy handrails. Another professional job completed with no complaints. I will not hesitate to contact Dave for the next project. read more

Dave and Gene were absolutely wonderful! They were prompt, friendly, professional and skilled. We had them replace a light fixture, re-caulk our shower and take down many window treatments and replace them with curtains. They did the jobs quickly and the level of detail was superb! We'll definitely use them again! Thank you again! read more

This company did an exceptional restoration job on my worn out wooden deck. The stain looks terrific. They gave me a fair price and came out to do the work when promised. I am very happy with their work. read more

Dave was great! Communication was extremely well and his price was better than other companies. I will call on again.

Unprofessional. Made an appointment for work, never showed up. Called several times, with no response. Finally called to see what the issue was, they danced around the subject like they couldnt do the job, looked too difficult. Should have said that when you came out to look at the job. Plenty of good contractors in the area, avoid the bs and move on. read more

The damage was extensive, Summit Handyman was very transparent with his estimate of cost. We didn't know what all needed done until drywall, subfloor and exterior siding were removed. Everything was repaired well, I was kept up to date on all work. As the house was going on the market, they even chipped in and helped me remove wallpaper from my daughter's room. I have since hired them for every home repair job I need. read more

Had an emergency situation with a closet door being barricaded shut...they came the next day, took an innovative approach and saved the day! Will definitely be using them again for the long-term fix. Thank you! read more

I would provide 0 stars if possible. I had a leaky toilet that was dripping water into some ceiling tiles in my basement. I had Summit come to fix the leak and replace the tiles. The technician told me the wax ring needed to be replaced, and that would likely take care of the leak. If it didn't, that meant the flange would need to be repaired/replaced. He finished the work, replaced the ceiling tile, and also managed to (1) leave scratches on my wood floor when removing the toilet, and (2) left all of the garbage and old ceiling tiles in a mess on my floor without cleaning up. Two days later, I spotted more water in the new tiles, and discovered the toilet was still leaking. I called in a plumber, who took one look at it and said the wax ring wasn't installed properly. They put on a new wax ring, and the toilet is now working just fine. To make matters even worse, the owner promised to refund me half of my $160 that I paid (not sure why he wouldn't refund all of my money given that the work didn't address the problem), but despite numerous attempts to contact him, he refused to actually send this refund. Please avoid this business at all costs. read more

Well I called this place because of the reviews on Yelp. Dave called me back a few hours later. Asked me a couple questions about what is needed. He said he'll call me back when his work is done that day, but never did. So I cannot comment on the quality of the work. He probably thinks the job is too small (repairing a toilet) because he also asked if there was anything else I needed done. read more

I'm puzzled by the poor reviews here. We just had Dave out to do a number of tasks including replacement of a leaky kitchen drainpipe, a few wall and ceiling repairs, wood trim repair in a finished basement and a few other things; reasonable quote, work done beautifully and work areas left clean. Dave is professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. His communication and follow through are excellent and he is a pleasure to work with. I would not hesitate to hire him again or refer anyone to him. read more

Great Job and affordable. Need to get some repair done after having new counters installed. Dave came promptly and completed the job with no hassles. Would use again in the future. read more

Very professional and I feel reasonably priced. Need tile replacement in the bathroom and they did an excellent job. Will be using them again for any repairs I need around my house and would highly recommend them. read more

Dave and his partner just sealed my large deck that was in serious need of work. He also replaced a number of boards. It was 90 degrees and he and his partner worked diligently without a break. Wow did they work hard. First day they power washed the deck and removed the boards needing replacement. They were promptly back the next day and qualitatively finished the job. The cost was very reasonable, they were courteous and very helpful with helping us select the proper coating. I highly recommend them.... read more

I cant honestly say much. I called, received a return message and have since called twice more with no call back. I was looking forward to working with these folks based on the wonderful reviews and had several items on his list of services I needed done. Bummer! read more

I called Summit Handyman Services, late on a Friday night requesting his help on Saturday morning. We were having a lot of people over and needed all of our blinds hung. This man not only answered his phone, but made time for us, came over at the time we agreed and hung everything so that we were ready for our company! His work is beautiful, there was no mess! I will be calling him again and recommend him highly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Simply put, Dave is the best contractor I have ever hired! I have been in the process of remodeling and fixing my home for a little while now, so I've seen my fair share of independent contractors. Most of them have done a wonderful job; however, I was quite impressed with Dave's efficiency and attention to detail. He seemed to truly care and made sure I was happy with the results of each job before moving on to the next. Most contractors I hired in the past would simply do the job without asking for my input along the way. I truly appreciated this about Dave! He also arrived professionally dressed, which says a lot about the qaulity of his work and character. Overall, Dave exceeded our expectations. I will certainly call Dave for future repairs and remodels. read more

Dave showed up on time and charged what his estimate was. He did a great job and I would hire him again for any job in my home.

We recently painted our cabinets but had difficulty getting the doors back on and aligned properly. Additionally three drawer rails and two cabinet hinges had broken and the anchors for two shelves needed reinforcing. After a detailed conversation with Dave about the areas needing attention, Dave came out as promised, on time and finished all fix-it items in no time flat. I know these were minor repairs in the scheme of things, but wanted to draw attention to Dave and his commitment to taking on even the small jobs. I absolutely will be calling Dave back as new things crop up. read more

I used Summitt for things at my house that needed repair, fixing or just hung. They came at the time they said. They gave us a very fair price for the work. They were very neat and cleaned up whatever they needed to. I would use them again for my next home improvement project. I have also recommended many of my friends and co-workers to Summitt. You won't be disappointed. read more

This is the first time I worked with Dave. I needed help with a rental unit repairs. He showed up on time and the fix was done. The tenants were happy. Everything went smoothly from appointment, payment (online chase quickpay) and online receipts. I will definitely contact him again for future needs. read more

Dave and his partner were great! He came the next day to give an estimate, then the work was done the following week. They met all of my checkpoints for the job and did it quickly and efficiently. I would recommend them for any handy work or carpentry! Also was very fairly priced. read more

Dave did a great job helping me get my house ready to sell. Our deck needed to be repaired and Dave was able to complete the work to the satisfaction myself and my buyers while keeping cost to a reasonable level. The quality of the work was excellent. read more
