Peter showed up on time, worked very hard and was professional in every way. His pricing was reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone needing someone reliable. He is a hard worker.
Description of Work: Replaced ropes on some of my old double hung windows, replaced and stained molding on back door and installed a new lock. Fixed my front storm door so it would close properly.

Description of Work: We had several bi-fold doors that came off their tracks and one that had dropped and scraped the floor. Gary worked on the doors, but had to track down the hardware to complete the repairs since these doors were old. Not having any luck finding the hardware locally. He was kind enough to visit a home repair store while out of town and locate the correct part and come back and fix the door. Our front door did not close properly which he brought to my attention and he returned on another date and fixed it. Gary, was prompt courteous and I felt comfortable in recommending him to friends.

Petr is a master carpenter and I try to take advantage of his special skills when I have an important project to do. My large garden was marred by a very ugly chain link gate. Petr had already constructed a beautiful Gothic-style garden gate for the front entrance to the garden, so I asked him for a simpler design that would be in keeping with that style, but would be more suitable (and affordable) for the much larger gate at the rear of the garden. This was not an easy project but Petr is terrific at engineering anything he builds to withstand the stresses to which they will be subjected. He knew where the heavy wooden gate panels would need extra support, etc. He also came up with a much better design than mine for the side panels that had to be attached to the existing fence. The result is really a masterpiece of carpentry that adds a beautiful element to my garden. I could not be more pleased.
Description of Work: Designed, constructed, and installed large double garden gate and partial fence
As always, Petr did the job extremely well. He is a master carpenter and a very good problem solver. The door was a recycled one and an odd size, but that was not a problem because of his ability to make adjustments to both door and frame. In addition to fine carpentry, I have had Petr install drapery hardware, help with yard work, and do household repairs too numerous to mention. With the exception of the plumbing, he did all the demolition and reconstruction of two bathrooms - new floor joists, ceramic tile floors, subway tiles on walls, crown moldings, window installation, wainscoting, etc. He is indeed The Reliable Handyman.
Description of Work: On his most recent visits Petr installed an exterior door, door frame, trim and 2 locks, repaired a damaged door sill and the brickwork around the frame, and caulked and painted the door on both the interior and exterior sides. The door frame required quite a bit of adjustment which brought Petr's exceptional carpentry skills into play.

Petr is a master carpenter and has superior construction skills but will also do small jobs. He is extremely responsive to my requests and has always figured out a way to accomplish what I've asked him to do. He is punctual, returns my calls, and keeps appointments, unlike so many of the other service providers I have tried using in the past.
Description of Work: Petr Rakhilchuk, The Reliable Handyman, has been doing work on my house for 6 years. He built my two-level deck, my raised garden beds, my custom furniture-quality radiator covers, Victorian-style furniture for my garden, and more. He has done drywall, subway tile, floor tile (both ceramic and vinyl), crown moldings and all manner of general repairs throughout my house and garden, and recently gutted and then re-built two bathrooms for me, doing everything except the plumbing. I have hired him to do pressure-washing, outdoor masonry work, furniture assembly and general maintenance work.
