We had a fantastic experience with Pro Active Prevention at our house. The professional was not only skilled and knowledgeable but also incredibly diligent in addressing our needs. Every problem we faced was resolved efficiently and with great attention to detail. What truly stood out was their commitment to leaving our space clean and tidy after the work was done, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!

Ken and his team were FANTASTIC! Ken is very professional, assessed the project to be completed, fair estimate of what it would cost. Repairs were done timely and team was efficient. Ken recognized an issue with our duct work with the condo that we own. Ken was very knowledgeable and took the time to share next steps to try to get problem resolved. i would recommend Ken and his team without hesitation. I will be using Ken and team for all future projects. THANK YOU!

Ken Brown is the best! He can do anything and is reliable, punctual, efficient and knowledgeable. His fees are very fair. Plus he's one of the nicest people you'll meet. I would recommend him without reservation.

Ken and his guys were on time and were able to understand, evaluate and decide what was needed and how it was going to be completed. They removed an old door and frame. Installed a new door/frame to a perfect fit. They also made a repair on the garage outside wall and it looks great! I thought I had to replace some of my porch flooring they realized it just needed reinforcing. Saved me some money with their excellent evaluation. I will be keeping their number. Thank you

I was completely blown away by the professionalism and expertise of Ken, who recently installed a bathroom vanity for us. Excellent communication and punctuality are two qualities that are hard to find. Ken knows what he is doing and has the knowledge and equipment for your project. We have hired him in the past and will no doubt contact him again in the future - such a pleasure to deal with and at a very reasonable price!

Excellent experience with Ken and Janae. I was going down the path of getting new exhaust fans which would have been atleast 2 times the cost and Ken recommended just replacing the motors. He arrived when he said he would and completed the job in a professional manner. I had a toilet issue that morning and Ken was willing to fix that for me to and went and picked up the parts. I am definitely going to keep Ken's number for handyman service.

Excellent communicator both in writing to outline tasks, and in person. Com -petent in many areas including electrical work, repairs, installation of laundry room tools, Work was every bit as good as he promised; his precision and commitment to "getting it right" greatly appreciated. Good problem-solver with practical and solid solutions, After using other firms, I know I've found the right provider with Ken.

Ken Brown led a 5 hour project to assemble a large skateboard half pipe. It was complicated and confusing at times, but Ken figured it all out and did a wonderful job. Ken has helped me with many projects in the past and he is a true professional, smart and talented, and a pleasure to work with. Five stars.

Not only did Ron take care of some electrical work for me, he also replaced the diverter on my tub/shower and repaired/ replaced dry wall. He also accommodated my tight schedule and finished everything quickly and beautifully. He is very professional and knowledgeable and was super helpful. Also, he cleaned up after he finished which is something nit everyone I've hired in the past has done. I highly recommend them.
