Business highlights
31 years of trusted experience
Services we offer
Home repair & remodeling for kitchens & bathrooms. Interior and exterior painting are our specialties. We also do electrical work and plumbing, including handyman services of all sorts.
These guys are excellent. Their estimate was accurate and fair. We looked at four different companies and this is the only one that assessed the problem correctly. We had exterior French doors installed by another contractor and he did damage to the door, and it wouldn't close correctly. We had to deal with this for six months before giving up and hiring these guys. They started the job ahead of schedule and did very nice work.
Description of Work: Fix exterior French doors that were installed incorrectly by another contractor.

I was very happy with the services rendered. Alan and his team were able to install my new double oven and perform minor electrical modifications needed to accommodate the appliance. Everything fits perfectly in my built-in cabinets. They were timely, professional and reasonably priced. The best part is their communication and on time arrival The quality of work is excellent. I would absolutely hire them again for any home repairs I need.
Quality work, timely and charge at completion of job stayed at quoted price.

I called Home Fixers because I had a problem with an exterior outlet and a running toilet. They were able to fix both problems and it cost a lot less than if I had called an electrician and a plumber to fix them. They showed up on time and did a great job.

Frank was very pleasant and conscientious. He did high quality work and explained to me everything he did.
Description of Work: I had a list of work to be done: Spread and adjust the insulation in the attic and reattach insulation to the vent, fill gap in window sill (temp fix), fill chipmunk hole along side my house, caulk sliding glass door sill, install smoke detectors, and scrape, paint and caulk area near dryer vent.
I had John from Home Fixers finish our family room. He is a perfectionist, & very reasonably priced. I had had two previous people start/work on it, & they were awful. The first one was sloppy, & the second one, I couldn't wait until he left. John was a Godsend. He did such a beautiful job, & was ever so conscientious, nice & courteous. He was a real professional. If/when I need more work done, I will ask for him again.

Hans not only fixed the hose bib he also installed a shutoff valve to that water access so we can turn the water off during the winter. Last winter on a warm winter day my wife turned on the water and burst it again, there was ice in the line. If it were'n for the shutoff valve hans installed we would have had to turn the water off for the entire house. Thanks Hans, your great foresight saved the day!!

We are very sorry that this occurred. We pride ourselves on our punctuality and dependability. Obviously, that was not your experience. Unfortunately, Dennis left our company without informing us.

I am very sorry that this work was not up to our usual standards. In all fairness, I will say that matching stain colors is extremely difficult as the actual color does always match the color samples that are provided. Clean-up after a job is very important, so I will stress that to all of our handymen in the future. Please don't hesitate to contact me, personally if I can answer any questions or help in any other way. Alan (owner)/ Home Fixers/ 630-393-0120.

Received an estimate and agreed to it, so work began the same day. We had two sets of folding closet doors replaced, and he (Hans) was able to finish the door project the first day. He had to come back to troubleshoot the malfunctioning ceiling fan, and he also accomplished that in a timely manner. Very happy with the work. Wish it had been a little cheaper, but I suppose that is always true.
Description of Work: Installation of new closet doors and troubleshooting of broken ceiling fan.
Ken and the team did a great job. It came in on budget and was done in the time frame to which they committed. Will call them again with the next project.
Description of Work: Need to remove a bathtub and the 3 walls and completely replace, along with bath fixtures.

Roy did an amazing job. Looks better than it ever did. After interviewing several local resources it was clear that Roy knew the ins and outs of Hardie as well as the manufacturers guidelines. Many of the homes in the area that have Hardie do not have it installed properly. This leads to deterioration and is not covered under warranty. Roy is a true craftsman who takes pride in his work. Alan and team were also top notch. I would use again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Replaced Hardie plank siding in front of home and around chimney.

It went very well. I called them to get a price on doing the above work. John Putnam showed up the next day and gave us a price. They were more expensive than other bids; but we were impressed with how he scoped the job and we had a "gut" feeling he would do a high quality job. John showed up in a week and worked slowly and methodically and did a marvelous job. Our new range arrives next week and we can hardly wait.
Description of Work: We removed an over the range microwave and installed a new Range Hood Vent and had matching tile work installed below the hood.

The receptionist said that no one want to come and do the work. The man that was available is too fat to fit through the opening (she said this without even seeing the opening). I am too old to do it myself and that's why I called. I wouldn't hire Home Fixers to anything.
