I needed to open a passthru in the wall between the kitchen and dining room and called Green Acorn. Nathan who completed most of the work was punctual, polite and very knowledgeable about what he does. I'm very pleased with the work and will definitely hire this company for the next job.

I had a broken cold water handle in my soaker tub so I decided it was time to update my faucet. After discovering Green Acorn also did plumbing I had them come out to do the repair. As always they were on time and on budget. Which was way less than quotes I received from other companies. I have used Green Acorn 3 x now and will continue to do so.

Prompt response to every inquiry. Provided a detailed estimate with reasonable, fair prices. Came on time when scheduled and worked with us to meet our needs and time frames. Performed excellent work to our satisfaction and even did more than we asked at no extra charge. It was not a bit uncomfortable having them in our home!

Excellent. This is my second time hiring them and I will continue to do so. I had 5 light fixtures including 2 chandeliers, pendant lights and a ceiling fan installed. The crew showed up on time and completed the task sooner than expected. The lights and ceiling where they needed to patch holes and paint all look terrific. They do exactly what they say they are going to do fir the price they quote.

I had a second-floor bathroom that was leaking onto the ceiling below. The contractor quickly determined that the leak was coming from the toilet, and did the obvious thing of replacing the wax seal. He then carefully tested and found that there was still a leak, so he looked further and found that the toilet drain pipe had not been properly glued to the sewer pipe. This was the original problem. He removed and reglued the pipe, put the toilet back with yet another wax seal, tested again, and repaired and painted the ceiling. He did this all in one day, and gave us a discount because he felt it took him too long. The repair was two months ago and it's still fine. This is my second experience with Granny's Helper and just as positive as the first.

What a difference. My shed went unused for almost a year while I tried to find someone to work on it. Granny's Helper was thorough from the start. They came out and measured the shed roof and went over all options with me. The roof was rebuilt the way it should have been initially. Great quality work and a great team. Highly recommend.

My experience was perfect. I usually loathe dealing with this kind of thing however, Mark made it painless and quite frankly a pleasant experience.
Description of Work: I had multiple services preformed. Drywall, wood, paint repair. Damages created by my precious little fur kid. Drywall, baseboard repair, patio stair repair and kitchen island spindle repair. I contacted them and received a call back right away. Although busy, they managed to come out and complete the services sooner than expected. Mark was my point man, he was responsive through text and phone calls. I sent pictures of the work I needed done and he made a visit to the property to discuss. They were very thorough and professional. The repairs were clean and previous damage was undetectable. I was also pleased with the cost. Mark and his staff were clean and conscientious. I have and will continue to recommend.

I had a ceiling fan installed in my bathroom. The new fan was smaller than the old one and required some dry-wall work to be done around it. George arrived very promptly—early in fact—and worked steadily for five hours until he had patched the dry wall, installed the fan, and added the popcorn patch to the ceiling. You can see the patch if you know what to look for, but the work is really well done and looks great. He and Mark also painted a spot on the ceiling and unclogged the shower drain. They protected everything properly and did not create any unnecessary messes or damage anything. They were very communicative and fit me into their schedule as soon as they had an opening, which was a few days after I contacted them. The price came out a little higher than the quote due to the dry-wall work taking longer than expected, but it was still a reasonable fee.

I have had Granny's helper out to my home on many occasions through out the past 18 months. They have done a variety of work for me which includes: Installing Electrical Outlets/Switches Installing Ceiling Fans Replacing / Installing Electrical Fixtures / Dimmer Switches / Lights Painting Drywall Work Gutter Clearning Stand Alone Vent Hood Installation Carpentry Curtain Rod Hanging Dryer Vent Cleaning (Other Work As Needed) I must say that this is the most professional handyman service that I have ever used. They are meticulous in every job that they do and they also clean up after themselves. I have enjoyed not only the great work that they have done, but also the explanations of what they are doing and why. They are very trustworthy and are willing to discuss and tackle any project that you throw at them. They are very reasonable in their pricing and are willing to work around schedules to make sure that the job gets done (and gets done right). They are easy to get a hold of and respond quickly to requests. In addition, they provide an excellent level of customer service that is getting "rarer" in this service-based industry. I can honestly say that if I had the money, they would be at my home to tackle all of the projects that I have that need to be completed. Choose them - you won't go wrong and you definitely will not be disappointed.
