Service: Handyman services completing multiple home maintenance tasks
Pedro was fantastic. He was on time, did excellent work, and was very communicative while taking care of multiple tasks. When there was a miscommunication, he just fixed it, went back, and redid it without a fuss. Price felt fair and I plan to hire him again.

Service: Repaired roof tiles and patched leak on apartment roof
Matt fixed the tiles on our roof where we had a leak, and while he was up there he identified more things happening and patched everything he saw. Communication was super good - he got back to me quickly, came when he said he would, and kept me updated about the rain since the timing was weather-dependent. We live in a four-story walk-up and he still handled it, and we’re having him back to fix the water damage inside, either replace the ceiling or sand and paint once it dries. The price felt very fair, and honestly he was kind of a godsend when no one else would come during the crazy storms.

Service: Moved belongings to storage unit and new flat from apartment
I moved out of my flat with Reagan handling only the moving - no packing - and we did two stops, first to my storage unit and then to my new flat. He was super responsive and communicative, got in, assessed everything fast, and just started moving with a clear system. He really knew his way around Lisbon and the tiny streets with no parking, and he packed my very small storage unit with total Tetris moves so everything fit. Kind and friendly, in-and-out, and the price felt very good.

Service: Bathroom plumbing service
Oleksandr was absolutely perfect - professional and amazing. He handled the plumbing in my bathroom and did a really good job. The price felt fair, and he even bought some details, some parts beforehand. I’d happily hire him again.

Initial Review
Service: Custom cutting boards creation, Headboard repair and rectification
I hired Elio for several carpentry projects. He made custom cutting boards made to measure - I got to pick the wood and the finishes to suit the client’s needs and size - and they came out really good, so I keep ordering because he is pretty fast and honors the dates he gives, and if a stain or finish isn’t right he communicates it. He also came to fix headboards made by another carpenter and rectified the mistakes, fine-tuning the little details with the eye and desire to really take that extra step. Price is on the higher side but feels fair for the quality and being able to hit a deadline, and he is highly professional.
