I am very pleased with the work performed by Proactive. Communication was always responsive. Everyone was professional and courteous even when our original plan changed. I asked for additional work after the original estimate of work. It did cost more than originally estimated but again I asked for the additional work so I was expecting the increase. i would recommend Proactive Prevention for anyone looking for handyman services.

We have used Ken for numerous "handyman" repairs. He is the best. He is very courteous and very skilled in many areas. Ken is 100% trustworthy. He cleans up after himself. He is prompt and usually avaialble for urgent situations. We have had many other people providing similar services in the past. Ken is undoubtedly the best.

Handyman work of all kinds
Description of Work: Ken is great! I’ve hired him back for more work as I get my new condo ready to live in. He’s done everything from hanging mirrors to putting together furniture, electrical work, and more. He’s careful and patient, and I’m glad I found him and his company on Angie’s List.

Ken was awesome. He was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. He even gave advice and suggested easy fixes that I could do on my own to save a little money. I will definitely be using Proactive Prevention in the future.

The work done was completed on time and within the budget quoted. Ken went above and beyond and was professional in every way. We have used him multiple times since and would use him again for future projects.

Terrific. Ken was incredibly responsive, showed up on time, tried to save me money by repairing the disposal, and when it was clear replacement was necessary, he was just as responsive and timely. He worked incredibly efficiently.
