Matt showed up with proper supplies to perform the work as we had discussed on the phone. He did the work quickly and professionally. There was some other areas that had been recommended by a home inspector as needing repairs, but Matt explained that there was already a metal flange in place that provided a seal in the firewall. While he said that he could seal up the opening around the vent stack, he said it wasn’t necessary and it would be a waste of my money. That says to me that he isn’t out to make money on unnecessary work. I would definitely recommend this handyman
Description of Work: I needed a firewall opening repaired in the garage attic, and smoke detectors installed.

Matthew was very easy to work with in addition to being accessible and reliable. I had a design I wanted to use and he made the necessary changes to make sure it functioned properly. He and Jeff worked very hard to finish the job within the specified time frame. I plan to use him again for a number of projects. Stated price includes building materials.

He is done everything from painting to general construction, plumbing etc. It is difficult to find someone who will be reliable with calling you back, and doing it right and following through with what they say. I have continued to go to this company because they have consistently gotten back to me in a timely manner, and have done things right and communicated well with me. I refer them out to everybody for anything they need.

I have never seen a guy work so fast while being so efficient, which is what I want when I'm paying by the hour. Matt is always on time or texts me when he's running a few minutes late. Always cheerful, professional and accommodating. We recommend him to all our friends and they all love him---and the end results.
Description of Work: Matt has installed for us new ceiling fans, drywalled, re-stuccoed to match the walls, painted, repaired plumbing, installed new updated faucets, done weather stripping, fixed electrical problems--you get it. He can do most anything, and we have completely relied on him with our last two home purchases.

Matthew got it all done so quickly and nicely over two days and in 6 hours. Such a pleasure to work with someone who respects your time and budget. And he cleaned up the work areas before he left. Very impressed and will use him again for sure.
Description of Work: My decorating client needed quick help to get her house staged to put on the market. I called Matthew and he was fortunately able to come out within two days. He replaced the faulty popup valves on two bathroom faucets, helped move furniture, do electrical repair, fixed broken shutters, broken gate latch, and removed old window tint.

All of the work was performed with great care. Matt picked up and delivered all materials that I had purchased and delivered them to the house on the days they were to be installed. He removed and hauled away all the carpeting, doors, and fixtures. Matt cleaned up before leaving each and every time he worked at my home. I was very impressed with the efficiency and professionalism that was shown on all occasions. If you are looking for reliable, trustworthy, skilled workmanship, look no further! I recommend Matthew Whitton Home Improvement wholeheartedly!
Description of Work: The work that was performed in my house was: -the removal and installation of laminate flooring in two bedrooms. -the removal and installation of wardrobe sliding doors in three bedrooms. -the installation of ceiling fans throughout the house. -the installation of lighting fixtures in bathrooms and outside entry.

Perfectly. He was on time, professional, and as pleasant as ever.
Description of Work: Matt has performed numerous services for my husband and myself. He is a great handyman and we refer him to all of our friends. He has installed water heaters, reconfigured bookcases, serviced misters, replaced faucets and shower heads, installed outdoor bar fridge in our logia, refinished our front wood door to mention a few services. Today he came and tightened our kitchen faucet that he had installed and changed light bulbs in the grandkids bathroom.

All work was done on time, done quickly and efficiently and as promised. Everything worked perfectly. Matt was also good at helping my wife make design and location decisions on the fly. He was careful to protect furniture and furnishings and to clean up thoroughly afterwards. His prices were better by quite a bit than all the other contractors and companies we consulted - but the quality of his work was consistently as good or better. Matt's availability is good too as have never had to wait more than a few days for his help.
Description of Work: A number of light fixtures and fans purchased at lighting store sales by my wife needed installation, and for several like our two pendant lights there were no existing power outlets. Matt had to go up into the attic, run new electrical lines, drill holes in the ceiling, install a frame to support the weight of the light in each case, and add the new circuits to an existing wall switch. We also had a heavy rainfall a few months ago which caused a roof leak. Matt got up there and quickly diagnosed the problem and had it fixed the same day, and as a courtesy, he also cleaned up all the storm debris that had collected on the roof. Matt did a couple of plumbing jobs for us too, including installing smaller water pipes behind the sink in the 1/2 bath which improved its appearance. On another occasion he took out a bedroom toilet that had become stopped up, cleaned it and reinstalled it, in about an hour. He's fast and efficient and knows how to do about anything. And he has good ideas too - one time we mentioned that we had doors that wouldn't stay open so Matt installed wall stoppers that hold the door closed through magnets. We have some big projects coming up including a complete upgrade of the utility room sink, counter top and drawers and we'll have Matt do the installation after his help in designing them at a retailer he uses. And we have a complete upgrade of a guest bathroom shower, counter top and lighting which we will hire Matt to do. He has done all of this kind of work before and knows exactly what approach is best for each job.

In the recent project for Matt, I had him do a complete remodel of my master bath. His quoted price was very reasonable and he was able to begin the project in a timely manner. Matt and his crew are very easy to work with and go the extra mile to please. The project was completed in a very professional manner, when promised, at the agreed upon price. No last minute surprises. It looks fantastic. Justin the tile man is an artist and takes great pride in his work. I could not be happier with the results.. I highly recommend Matt at Whitton Home Improvement and Repair
