    Nick does a great job at a cheap price. He's fixed everything from running toilets to patching plaster ceilings.

    Needed some baby gates installed. Very nice employees. We had a little hiccup in the process but they came and fixed the problem for me.

    Ask the Community - The Rittenhouse Handyman

    Would you be able to replace an exterior dryer vent cover that on the top of the 2nd floor? It would require a tall ladder.

    Please submit your request to Rittenhousehandyman.com and include pictures of the exterior area where the vent would be installed so we can further evaluate the project.

    Do you primarily work in the Rittenhouse square area or do you handle the rest of Philadelphia I have a number of small projects that require attention?…

    We offer on-site handyman services (listed on services page) in the Center City, Rittenhouse, Bella Vista, Queen Village, Graduate Hospital, Old City, Northern Liberties, Fishtown, East Passyunk, and Fairmount neighborhoods in Philadelphia.

    Ralph is fantastic and kind. He knows how to fix a lot of things and is great about asking exactly…read morehow you want it done, working with you to get it how you envisioned. He built shelving and racks into 3 closets as well as a laundry room. I love that he was honest about one thing that wasn't in his wheelhouse and brought in someone else who had that specialty. I've already called him back a second time. Highly recommend!

Turns out it needed better screws in the hinges. This didn't result in a discount. I didn't fight it because he spent about 12 hours 'fixing the dry wall'. Promised that it would be paint ready, which to me means excess dry wall cleaned up textured, and seams smoothed. Several spots were missed the first day, but addressed by revisiting the provided the second day. At the end of the second day when he finished the same cracks were still visible with just a massive amount of dry wall going away from the cracks. Along with that things were patched that were on the list with so much mess I had to remove the spackle and do the spot again. He also didn't texture anything during cleanup so things are not paint ready. On top of the amount of mess left behind, I spent hours this weekend cleaning up dust and starting to correct the work. I was hoping this would save me hours of work cleaning and sanding drywall myself. This is not the case between needing the work redone and the cleaning. I wouldn't recommend them for dry wall work.

    More like the Home Nightmare. I hired them to re-caulk two showers and repair one kitchen cabinet…read moredrawer. They asked me not to use the showers 48 hours in advance, so I did. On the day of the appointment, I waited around until 5pm, when I called to confirm they were still coming. They didn't answer, but called me back about 30 min later to say that there was a mix-up and that they weren't coming. To their credit, they did come the next day, but the technician was very confused about what to caulk in my showers. We watched a youtube video together, then he caulked the showers. I was very nervous at this point, but trusted him. Of course, after waiting 24 more hours to use the showers (and now almost a week of showering at the gym), I find that the shower leaks!!! I contacted the company and they promised to look at it when the drawer technician comes out. Well, that appointment got rescheduled 2 times. I was getting pretty fed up and asked them to commit to a time. That's when Pete, the manager, tells me via email that they cannot ensure that a shower won't leak after they caulk it. At this point, I had no confidence in this company and asked for a refund for the one shower and to cancel the drawer repair. They refunded me $75 out $200 wished me luck disputing the remainder with my credit card company. A total waste of my time and honestly the worst customer service I've experienced in Philly (and that's saying a lot!).

Another contractor came in and made it look worse. Then called Home Hero. Very easy to get an estimate and schedule the services. Maurice came in and made them look beautiful again.

    I never know whether to trust rave reviews on Yelp, but in the case of Brian Ludlow, owner of…read moreLudlow's Handyman Services, the five star ratings are spot on accurate. I needed a mailbox installed and had tried for 3 months to schedule various handyman recommended by neighbors. I finally took things into my own hands and searched for a reputable and highly rated handyman on Yelp. There were several options to choose from, but I was immediately drawn to Brian's business because it is locally owned and operated by him. Plus, I really liked his bio. I could tell he was someone who enjoyed his work and was focused on high quality outcomes for customer projects. Brian did not disappoint. Every step of the process was a good one. My first point of contact was through Yelp messaging. That's when I first knew I was on the right track because Brian promptly replied. Moreover, his communication skills were excellent from the get-go. He was able to fit me into his schedule a few days after my request. He arrived on time prepared with what he needed to do the job. Everything went smoothly, especially because Brian and I had reviewed the installation instructions through photos I attached to our Yelp messages. He was able to acquire the remaining needed materials that I did not have on hand. Brian clearly knew what he was doing and got the mailbox installed without any problems. He charged a reasonable amount and was a pleasure to work with. I had a great customer experience. I already have other projects lined up for him. Living in a 200-year-old home is going to provide plenty of opportunities to call on Brian's experience and excellent problem-solving skills.

    Brian was awesome. We hired him for the day! He helped us install ceiling vents, door knobs,…read morebathroom fixtures, etc on new construction. He also put together a complicated furniture purchase! If a need arises, we would hire him again! Conscientious, thorough, and tidy! Pleasant guy.
