I had siding ripped from my house during a windstorm and a gable attic vent destroyed by raccoons. Bryan took the time to walk me through options and provided me with a very reasonable estimate to get the work done. Bryan was on-time for all appointments, courteous and thorough in his work...I was very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Bryan for any handyman work.

We needed a special sweep put on the garage door entrance to the house. Bryan had researched how the sweep worked before he arrived. When faced with the task of putting it on he discovered that the door was especially high over the threshold. He was able to adapt the expensive sweep to the door and make it work..

Over the years, Bryan has installed all the trim in my home, drywalled the stairway and part of the kitchen, installed ceiling fans and lights, doors, painted ceilings, etc., etc. Bryan is detailed about his work and strives not for it just to look good, but for it to also be done right. He always cleans up after a job, has reasonable prices, is professional, very honest and overall wonderful to work with. He has made house calls to give me pointers and advice on certain projects I was completing myself. Bryan is so trustworthy I have left him alone in the house during the day to complete a project and have never had any issues. He has always been very respectful of my home. If Bryan has a question, he does not hesitate to call. I would not hesitate to call Bryan to help with any future home projects. I would even go as far as to say I would recomend him to friends or family who needed handyman services.

He's reliable and he's been very good to work with. I usually can send him an email and just tell him what's going on and he'll actually call the tenant himself and setup the appointment. He will then take care of it and when he's finished, he'll tell me what he's done and the list of the cost and then I will check with my tenant to make sure that they're happy with the work and they usually are.
Description of Work: He replaced three light fixtures in the bathroom. He had to redo the ceiling in the bathroom, so he did the drywall work, the painting, and all the repairs.

I could see that he was willing to persist until he devised a solution for solving problems . He showed a genuine desire to help out.
Description of Work: Brian Franc fixed a shower door that 3 other handymen had been unable to repair properly. He also did some "heavy lifting" to help me store shingles left by a roofer. He also helped by suggesting how I could take care of several minor issues around the house.

True North was able to do the job in one day and he did a very good job. I had them go to our rentals to check out a light fixture and he has gone to investigate a sump pump which was freezing.He is really easy to work with, professional and very flexible.His prices are very reasonable.
Description of Work: I have used True North. The first time they came, I had some trims needed done. The window and dry wall didn't quite match.I have used them since for maintenance for our rentals in a different state.

Bryan has installed the trim for almost every room in my house (and most of the doors.) He is detail oriented and concerned with having the work look good. Bryan is always professional and friendly. He cleans up after himself. He is very honest and lets me know immediately if there is a problem or if there needs to be a change in the project. In addition, his prices are reasonable for the high quality of work.Bryan is a one man contractor. It might take a few months (depending on the job) before he is able to start on the next project. He has always been very upfront concerning when he will be able to start another project for me and lets me know quickly if there is a change concerning the start date (sometimes he's able to start a new project sooner than anticipated.) Either case, the quality of his work is worth the wait. Will definitely have him back for more projects.
Description of Work: Installed trim on two windows and around ceiling. Also installed a door and jam and another jam on a closet door opening.

I contacted Bryan Franc from True North and explained that I had two windows in my kitchen that needed trim work put up. My husband and I had recently remodeled our 1930's kitchen. The windows had been installed within the past 10 years, but the frame of the older house posed a few difficulties. Bryan came to my house to give me an estimate and was able to get started right away. I provided the wood trim and stain. He did have to do sme drywall work in order to get the trim to look right around some of the areas. It took Bryan one day to finish the job. The trim work looked great, the only thing I found very disappointing was that he had not stained the entire piece. The bottom edge of trim was still bare wood. Being that one of the windows was directly above the sink I was very concerned with water damage. I contacted Bryan to let him know and get some advice on how to stain it. He explained that I should use a brush and apologized for missing it. I would have given an overall A if it hadn't been for that.

The provider did an excellent job. At the end of each day, the work area was clean so it did not impact our evenings. In addition, as different alternatives were discovered during the project (how to run a wire for example), we were called and asked to make the decision. This was an interruption in our work day but at the end a welcomed interruption to make sure the job was done in a manner that we were happy. Will us the provider again. Very happy with the end product and the process.
Description of Work: We had a false wall installed above a fireplace. On the false wall a television was hung and all the associated wires re-run.

I think I spent $95 on his services. The guy’s name is Bryan and he’s like a handyman, so I use him for quite a bit of stuff. He has a pretty wide range. He’s pretty professional, polite and affective. I will use his services again in the future if I need to.

Bryan is very contientious about the work he performs. He is an excellent carpenter and a very good painter. He shows up when he says he will be there and doesn't leave until the job is done to his satisfaction.
Description of Work: Bryan installed crown moldings in the living and dining rooms, installed moldings around the doorways and put in a Wainscoting in the dining room. He repaired a few cracks in our drywall. He painted the ceilings, walls, Wainscoting and trims.

I needed to drywall the walls in my stairway plus the walls on the landing at the top of the stairs. When Bryan arrived for the estimate, he gave some very good ideas concerning the ceiling (mud the ceiling to get a nice smooth finish) plus the baseboards around the stairs (adding some extra trim.) Due to other jobs, it took him a little longer to start my job, but once he arrived, he was quick, very accurate and detailed in making the finish product look good. The ceilings are nice and smooth. You can't tell what trim he added to the baseboards around the stairs (looks like part of the original baseboard.) He even worked around a light so I'd have a working light at the top of the stairs. All I have to do now is paint. The final cost was a little higher than the estimate due to some extra supplies he needed for the job. Bryan has done multiple jobs for me. He is always professional and very detailed oriented. He's very concerned with making the finish product look good. He's very approachable and will even volunteer ideas on how to make something he's working on look even better. He's never steered me wrong and I trust his opinion. Will definitely hire him do other work in the future.

Took a while to get on his calendar, but he was prompt and professional while here. Have used him in the past and will use him again, though I think he may have been a bit rushed during the painting - I'm putting a second coat on parts since the old paint is sort of coming through. cindy
