About us

Don's Home Repairs & Improvements was founded in 2002 by a former Mechanical Engineer with a manufacturing background. My engineering skills have allowed me to envision, design, manage & supervise projects from conception to completion. We specialize in all aspects of interior/exterior remodeling for consumer & commercial real estate. We create designs, solutions & proposals per customer requirements & needs. Our goal is to provide quality service every time at a reasonable cost. My company has 3 part-time employees, I use sub-contractors on a limited base, however all jobs are supervised by Don' Home Repairs & Improvements regardless. Job estimates are usually free, the minimum charges for service are $50.00 for most items and $75.00 for plumbing. Materials & supplies can usually be purchased by customers.

Marvelous work! Don has very good skills and instinct when tackling a project, especially a difficult installation. He basically had to undo someone else's unsuccessful attempt, re measure and re install everything. This accounted for the price. In the end, the project was accomplished perfectly and I have so much appreciation for this man's skill. Thanks a million, Don.
Description of Work: Install a lazy susan into a corner cabinet

Excellent! Don gave us an estimate with some different options for how we could have things done, and then he and his team went to work. We had skylights reframed, plumbing fixed, bathroom tiles repaired, walls patched and painted inside, and our brick paver patio rebuilt. The level of quality in his work was outstanding, we were absolutely delighted by his attention to detail and the care he took in making everything right.

Don did an excellent job -- he ordered the necessary parts, coming back to our house several times to ensure that everything was right. And he did all this in spite of still being in the recovery stages from neck surgery... We would strongly recommend him for all types of handyman services.
Description of Work: Don has done many repairs for us over the years, and is very responsive to email inquiries. Most recently, we had him rebuild and repair our three 20-year old toilets.

We have accumulated a long list of needed work and have had difficulty finding someone who can do a variety of things and has references. Don was referred to us by a neighbor who has used him for several projects and comes highly recommended. He came out to take a general look at my list. He was organized and seemed broadly knowledgeable in several areas. The first visit he repaired some wiring that had been incomplete from a prior worker, then diagnosed our house humidifier and ceiling fan problems. After completing the wiring he repaired a drywall hole. Everything was neat and works fine. Next visit hope to have ceiling fans installed. We also need a severely damaged wood door replaced which will require coordination with a flooring person. This project will wait til better weather. Don offers estimates, but in our situation this is difficult since the repairs are unusual. But he seems organized and would easily provide them for a routine job. He seems quite capable and trustworthy and we look forward to hiring him for future work.
Description of Work: Don came out to look at several issues: reworking some electrical work done by an apparently incompetent person, evaluating a screen door and patio french door wawter damage, etc. The first visit he provided electrical wiring, diagnosed a malfunctioning house humidifier, and recommended we replace a broken ceiling fan. He spent about 6+ hours on the electrical repair and examination of items.

He gives an estimate, then schedules the work. He is professional about every aspect of the job. If a problem recurs (as did our window leak) he stayed with it until it was finally resolved.
Description of Work: Don has done a lot of work for us including remodeling, plumbing, painting, caulking, leak repair, dryer vent repair and cleaning.
