He is excellent and very prompt. He was very smart and good at what he did. He is an exceptional handyman. He was also very conscientious and fast. Though he charged so much he did a lot of work.
Description of Work: I used Tim Lewis Building Maintenance four months ago. He charges on an hourly basis, and he was here for about 4 hours. He fixed locks, gates, and dishwasher. It seemed like handyman service.

Tim Lewis was given a list of 5 tasks that I could not perform. He appeared promptly & did all of the tasks in record time. What's more the job he did was outstanding. Trained as an electrical engineer, he is an excellent handyman. Highly recommended.

I contacted Tim initially by leaving a message on his voicemail. He returned my call within minutes and we set up the appointment. He said he would call me earlier on the day of the appointment to confirm, which he did. He was prompt and neat looking. He first asked to see where I wanted the safe installed. Then he went to his van selected his tools and returned. He hit a surprise in that the drywall was backed up by plywood which seemed to be a little unusual but that didn't slow him down. He finished the job in about 30 minutes and put the safe at exactly the height I had requested. I hadn't asked for an estimate in advance because I wasn't sure what was in that wall, but after I met him my initial impression was that he was going to be a good guy so I trusted that he would charge me appropriately and he did. In fact he charged me less than I thought it might cost.
Description of Work: installed wall safe by cutting out a section of drywall so safe would fit flush with the wall. It was a little tricky even with the stud finder locating the exact spot but Tim persevered since we didn't want any holes that he would have to patch later.

Initially he took some time trying to understand the installation instructions and got everything done to our satisfaction. I do think however, he was a bit expensive.

He's great. Fast, efficient, seems to immediately know what to do. I was worried about some stove repairs and the bathroom faucet. Another handyman felt these were big jobs- Tim diagnosed the problem fast and fixed it. He arrived when he said he would and was very professional. I'm thrilled to have found a reliable handyman and I will definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: He did a lot of small jobs: fixed a cabinet drawer, repaired a faucet in a sink, caulked a bathtub and shower, worked on a bathroom vent, adjusted windows that wouldn't close, worked on a refrigerator ice-maker.

Great! Tim quickly assessed the problem and gave me pros and cons on how to fix it. He let me go buy the parts, then came back later in the day to do the actual repair. He also diagnosed non-critical problems in two of our toilets and he replaced a fan. He works very quickly and efficiently.
Description of Work: Replaced the stems and sleeves for two faucets.

The experience was painless. I called him at around 3pm and he showed up an hour later. Tim determined that the screws were too short and he placed longer ones in. It took about 15 minutes.

I loved the service he provided. Everything was more than what I had expected. I don't remember exactly what I paid for each project and I would rather not disclose it. He is very capable and I will definitely be using his services from now on. He was very prompt and completed the project in the time he said he would. The quality of his work is wonderful.
Description of Work: He built two wooden desks and replaced a damaged freezer part. It did not take him long at all to complete the project.

Tim returned our phone call as soon as he could and he came over and we showed him what we needed to have done. We made an appointment. Tim arrived on time with his tools and proceeded to do the work. Since the screen had to be ordered, the work was continued another day. All the work was completed in 2 days with great care in keeping things clean. My husband and I were very happy with Tim's work and would recommend him highly.
Description of Work: Tim installed towel bars and toilet paper holders in 2 bathrooms. Removed an old sliding screen door and installed a new one. Tim took measurements, ordered the screen door and picked it up. Repaired sliding glass door so it opens easier. He also repaired a piece of baseboard that had been removed.

Very well. He was knowledgeable, efficient, cheap (compared to licensed electricians who charge 2 1/2 times as much), and helpful in other aspects (i.e. told us about the damaged attic ducts that are loosing heat from the furnace.) He offered to clean up after the job. Both fans were installed properly.
Description of Work: Removed 1 ceiling fan and installed it in a new room. Also, installed a used fan into another room. (Needed to install an electrical box into each ceiling location).

Tim called back within an hour of my call to him after 7pm and scheduled an appointment the following week. He called again 15 minutes before the appt to assure us he was on his way. He worked very quickly and efficiently. Everything worked great at the end and I've kept his card in case I need other work done around the house.
Description of Work: Repaired ceiling fan with new receiver and transmitter that I had previously purchased for a fan/light fixture that was not working. First tested to make sure it needed the receiver/transmitter and then replaced the parts very quickly. Continued to check that everything was working at every step so he would not need to go back and fix anything again.

TIM ARRIVED ON TIME AND HE WENT TO WORK IMMEDIATELY. TIM IS A LIVING EXAMPLE OF THAT OLD ADAGE "THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR EXPERIENCE" AND TIM HAS PLENTY. EVERY REPAIR JOB I SHOWED HIM HE HAD ENCOUNTERED BEFORE AND TIM KNEW EXACTLY HOW TO FIX IT. TIM FIXED EVERYTHING I ORIGINALLY HAD ASKED HIM AND A FEW EXTRA ITEMS I THOUGHT OF AFTER HE ARRIVED VERY QUICKLY. TIM CORRECTLY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WITH A CEILING FAN. THIS TASK WAS A LITTLE TIME CONSUMING AND TIM STILL WORKED FAST AND CAREFULLY. TIM COULD HAVE CHARGED ME MORE FOR THE WORK HE COMPLETED BUT HE DID NOT. TIM WAS COURTEOUS AND PROFESSIONAL. THANKS TIM!
Description of Work: REPAIRED BROKEN KITCHEN CABINET DRAWERS, REPLACED HINGES ON KITCHEN CABINET DOORS, REPAIRED BRACKET ON REFRIGERATOR DOOR, REPLACED DOOR AND DRAWER KNOBS ON ARMOIRE IN LIVING ROOM, FIXED LOOSE DOOR KNOB IN FAMILY ROOM, AND DIAGNOSED CEILING FAN PROBLEM.
