Your Home's Best Friend

Handyman Services, Interior Painting, Decks and Porches,

About us

My name is Stuart Eric Mooney. I am addressed by any version of that. The best way to get me is via text or phone call. I am rarely online. I do not charge for estimates. I have been in the business of helping people make their dream homes true since 1992. I still work with a lot of customers, and have been maintaining and remodeling their homes since then. I have a small team that I work with on every job. Once I start a job, I am present every day until completion. We design and build anything from decks, kitchens, baths and paint schemes. We are exterior deck stain specialists. I am capable of most home repair including windows, doors, wall patching, electrical and plumbing ( such as sink installation or ceiling fans). I also have a team of licensed electricians and plumbers for when certificates are required for permits, who have been treating my customers fairly and working with me for twenty plus years. I also have flooring refinishers and installers, if for some reason I choose not to do it. I also have roof and gutter guys. We would love to help with any or all of your needs. I generally charge by the job, not by the hour. Tutorials and advice is free. DBA: Stuart E Mooney LLC

Very Well! All jobs expertly, completed.
Description of Work: The name says it all! This company is truly “your Home’s best friend.” We contracted Mr Mooney to perform various tasks around our house. He installed safety bars into tiled shower walls, replaced a showerhead, painted and beautifully matched a damaged wall, repaired an accordion door, put in new locks and bolts in our entry door, and more. Eric Mooney is professional and very knowledgeable. He is a really smart and creative guy who can come up with awesome solutions to house problems. He is also very reliable, arriving on time and finishing the tasks. Highly highly recommended!

Not only did Mr. Mooney arrive exactly on time, but he assessed the job quickly, provided low/high (repair vs. replace) cost options and guided me through my decision-making process! He is extremely personable, offers excellent customer service and fair pricing. The job was done quickly and efficiently. I'll definitely hire again!

Helped me out a lot for a fair price! Will hire for future repairs to my investment property! I had a list of repairs needed before renting out my property and all got done with much patience and for a fair price. Not only did I get what I needed done, time was spent to identify and investigate a water leak before it became an emergency - so very appreciate!

Eric does excellent workmanship on anything that he's working on. I have five rooms and a hall that needed to be plastered and painted. Eric did a great job. he painted my kids room two-tone colors that they wanted. The kids and I loved it. He also replaced a light fixture with a better one in one of the rooms. He had done other work for in the past, such as build platform for washer and dryer, plumming, and electrical. I would recommend him to anyone who need work done, you won't be disappointed.

We called Your Home's Best Friend originally for a ceiling repair after an upstairs bathroom leak. But as soon as Eric walked in the door, his extensive knowledge about home repair/improvement was evident and we ended up hiring him for a number of things that had been on the "to-do" list or "wish list" of our older home for many years. He repaired and painted walls and doors, hung a ceiling fan, replaced a bathroom faucet, repaired a compromised area of another (plaster) ceiling, and repaired a kitchen drawer that had been unusable for months. His professionalism, meticulousness and talent shone through in every completed task in our home and we cannot recommend him highly enough. (We have already enlisted him ourselves for a kitchen remodel.)

Our problem occurred a Sunday evening. I called and Eric was at the house within 15 minutes. He was determined to find the source of the issue and conscientious in not making a mess. I was so impressed with the professionalism and would not hesitate to call him again for future problems. Thanks Eric!

Stuart and Kim both did an outstanding job at an amazing price. Stuart is an absolute whiz at what he does, truly the "perfectionist" he describes himself to be. He never relents until every task he is given is completed perfectly. Throughout his service, he consistently went above and beyond everything I asked him to do and would constantly look around the house for problem areas and advise me on how to improve them. He was also punctual, professional, and very accommodating when I needed to reschedule my service appointment. Kim also provided valuable assistance and went several times to the nearby hardware store to pickup the necessary parts, helping Stuart along the way with a gracious, courteous, and friendly demeanor. There is no doubt in my mind that if I ever needed a bunch of repairs around my house in the future that they would be the first number to call. I simply couldn't ask for a better combination of great quality work at such an affordable price, complete with happy, smiling faces from people who genuinely love and care about what they do. They earned my loyalty.
Description of Work: I needed various minor repairs and improvements around our house including putting a frame around the electrical panel, replacing an interior microwave light, cleaning the dryer vent, securing the bathroom sink to the wall, and securing the dishwasher to the surrounding kitchen cabinets and counter top, among other tasks.

It was a pleasure getting your deck ready for stain. It is very satisfying to see a customer take on some work themselves and save a few dollars. I'm glad my information on the stain and its application was helpful. When I returned to do other work I saw you did a beautiful job. Great teamwork!
