About us

I specialize in restoration work on Victorian and Craftsman homes -- those built before 1925 -- with an eye toward preserving the integrity of their architectural styles. I enjoy restoring and reusing -- rather than replacing -- antique hardware, fixtures, woodwork, etc. But whether your home is vintage or modern or in-between, I like helping you find creative low-cost alternatives to what might otherwise be expensive repairs. I also like to do those small jobs that some other contractors don't want to bother with. I can work nights, weekends, and holidays for emergencies, or just to accommodate your schedule. No charge for consultations and estimates.

Service was great, I couldn't have asked more. Neal arrived and promptly went to work. I had a leaking copper water line the crawlspace that he repaired. He also installed a shut off valve for the ice maker.

Neal does an excellent job with high attention to quality. The bathroom fan with electrical work was the most difficult job due to the small working area in the attic but the job was done without any issues. The door and the stairway work were completed with excellent attention to detail.
Description of Work: Neal installed a bathroom fan, installed a deadbolt on an outside door and fixed a stairway banister.

Neal and his partner were timely, able to complete all the repairs prior to the holiday week. They were professional, informative, and did excellent work. They clearly take pride in their work and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure it is done right. We'd trust them with future work in our home.

Neal is very prompt in his replies and on his start time each day. He takes pride in his work and leaves the work areas as clean as possible at the end of each day. He contracted out the exterior mortar job to a third party after introducing me to the people who would be doing the job. The work was well done.
Description of Work: Repaired drywall damage due to water damage/new window installation, fixed exterior low voltage lighting (including installing a new light fixture), exterior mortar repair due to new window installation and weather strip on front door.

They were very careful with the windows, with pulling nails from the siding above the bad siding board, with removing the flanges at each end, and cleaning up afterward. They asked for my input where it was helpful. We had a pleasant work environment, the whole time. They are my new go-to handyman work team.
Description of Work: Replaced a 4-foot siding board with woodpecker holes in it, 18 feet off the ground, right above the big window in our nook. Delicate work with 3 windows in the way, and long ladders.

When you're good .... you're good!! Not only did Neal call me less than 4 hours after I left him a message, but he and Brian were here and did the job the same day!! That's service at it's best. All the little details which I had not considered where carefully attended to and the final result was better than I had hoped for. The fence move is temporary and I will be calling Neal back to reverse the job. The cost was fair and I'm certain that I'll be contacting Neal the Genius Handyman again in the near future for all my handyman needs. Thank you!
Description of Work: Neal and Brian moved a short section of cedar fencing to a new location about 25 feet away.

It went very well, because Neal is quite clever. I consider myself capable of handling most handyman and light construction type of tasks around the house but I needed someone with a fresh set of ideas to come up with a cost effective fix; Neal was able to give that to me. Neal is a very nice guy too, also professional, and punctual. Neal and his partner were quick but careful, and were very clear on what they were going to to do to accomplish the fix. One of the doors they repaired was, in my opinion, was un-fixable; however two hours after they started on that door, the door frame was perfectly square, trim back in place, and closing perfectly.
Description of Work: Fixed three doors in the house that had moved due to foundation issues.

Neal was better than on time, such a relief. Neal not only fixed 2 leaks, he also checked to make sure there was no damage from the leak in the crawl space. He is very pleasant to talk to and really knows his stuff. The price he charges is more than reasonable. Neal has found a new loyal customer. I even told him that he was my new best friend!! I highly recommend Neal!!!

Neal arrived on time with his assistant and assessed the situation. They grabbed their tools and got started right away. They had to remove the storm door from the door frame. Then they removed the molding and re-attached the molding and storm door with screws instead of the original nails. This made the support much stronger. They re-assembled everything and made sure the door closed properly. Neal and assistant were very thorough and methodical. The charge for his service was lower than I expected.
Description of Work: My storm door got partially pulled off of the door frame and Neal re-attached storm door.

I have used Neal before and each time it has been a great experience.
Description of Work: Neal replaced a mailbox for me this week. While this may sound like a simple job, it was not. Neal had to cut a hole through the concrete sidewalk at a new location, assemble and install the new mailbox and patch the concrete at the old location. All of this was done with professionalism and a great attitude!

Neal was prompt, courteous and cleaned up after he was finished?and best of all, the final cost was SIGNIFICANTLY lower than his original quote. I was surprised at how much time and effort he put into this for such a reasonable price. I already have him scheduled to come back and install some interior french doors in a couple months!
Description of Work: Neal saved us over $1,000 by repairing an exterior patio door and frame that had some rotting on the bottom…otherwise, we would have had to replace the entire door/window combination. He carefully drilled and dug out all the rotted wood from the bottom of the door and door frame, replacing the rotted sections with pressure-treated wood and caulking so there were no voids or areas of bad wood, making it undetectable after painting, A very creative solution that saved the original doors while also saving us a lot of money.

I called Neal and told him the work that I needed to be done as I was moving into a home I had just purchased. Neal provided a reasonable estimate and advised me of any problems that I might encounter with what I wanted to do. He proceeded to do the work with an associate and worked in a professional manner providing me with some information about issues that needed to be addressed. Although I thought they took a little longer than the work should I wasn't charged any additional fees when they stretched the work over a week rather than doing it in one or two days. They also put in a gate in a fence that proved to be done at a reasonable cost in a fair amount of time. Neal did tell me when he had conflicting work schedule and the only problem experienced was that he didn't come at times when promised because he was juggling multiple projects. However, the quality of his work made up for their slowness in getting it done and his sometimes "disappearing act." I intend on using Neal again but will make sure that he can honor all time commitments before doing so. An honest, competent professional. After I contact Neal concerning a problem with one of the items (gate) he had fixed and informed him I had problems with it, he responded immediately to my message and took care of the problem while assuring me that if I needed his assistance again to deal with the gate, he would. Great service provider that I would recommend to anyone.
Description of Work: Neal put a door in a space that had previously had no door and did an outstanding. Although it took a little longer than I had anticipated the finished product was admirable.
