A Helping Handyman

Darryl did outstanding work. He was prompt, punctual, and attentive to detail. He worked efficiently, making sure he understood what our needs were and making sure that he had addressed all our concerns when he had finished. His pricing was fair and reasonable.

Great work done professionally. Attention to detail

Response to my inquiry on Angie's List was super fast. Darryl came out the next afternoon, to repair/replace the disposal. He was able to get the old one working, so I can return the new one. Great experience working with Darryl.

I called Darryl, he responded quickly at a reasonable price. The job looked great.

Project was not that big (chandelier install) but due to the height of the room I decided to have someone else do it. Darryl was responsive to my initial inquiry and upfront with pricing, timing etc. It seems like every small job ends up having it's own unique issues and this was no different. When I would have spent an hour cursing and reassessing my plan Darryl had everything resolved and fixture installed. He also spent extra time to make sure my wife (and I) we happy with the install height and all other aspects of the job. I have already scheduled him for another job.

Darryl was extremely prompt in returning my call, very polite in explaining his service fee and a true pleasure to deal with!!! He kept me informed on the time and date he would be in my home to complete the work, was punctual and professional throughout the job. I would HIGHLY recommend his services to anyone needing a helping hand around the house - and will certainly call him again whenever a need arises!

Darryl proved to be the local handyman I needed to find since I relocated from out of state to Little River. He was friendly, professional, and did an excellent job on the project for which I hired him, and completed the project in the time frame and for the price he quoted. There are no surprises with Darryl. I will use him again and highly recommend him to anyone in the local area.

Job was done as requested and then tested to assure all was operational and correctly installed. He explained the process as he pulled out the old parts and replaced.

Everything went very smoothly from the time that I first contacted Daryll until he left after completing the job. Daryll was very prompt and true to his word. There were parts missing or additional parts needed for the items I bought and Daryll went straight to work to locate them and complete the job. He is a hard worker and very fair . I would highly recommend his work! What a pleasure to deal with !

He was quick, clean, friendly, on time and priced fairly. What more could you ask for. He was also creative and was very concerned about how good his work looked. I will absolutely use him again. I would recommend him for any job around the house.

Awesome. Great, young guy who works "old school". Professional work done right, the first time. He fastidious, clean and fun to talk with too. I would hire him again in a minute and recommend him to all. Just Awesome.

Fantastic, smooth no worries. Very informative, polite and very professional.

Excellent job. Left the floor clean you would have never guessed any worked had been completed in the area. Darryl arrived on time. It was a rainy day and he was very careful not to leave any tracks entering and after returning to his trucks it get needed tools. Worked was completed in a reasonable time and the cost was very very reasonable. I will certainly hire him again should I need work done.

Excellent. Darryl came out to view the work to be done and gave me a free estimate of the time and cost to do the work. He explained what needed to be done and gave me the option of providing the material for him to install. Darryl arrived on time and I was impressed how organized he was. He replaced the rotted frame and lattice with materials I provided. He kept the worksite clean and organized throughout the job. I would recommend Darryl without hesitation.

Excellent , Darryl is a true professional and a really nice genuine guy. I am so glad I found him and I will be using his services again in the future. Darryl takes great care in getting things 100%

First, Daryl called the night before the scheduled appointment to confirm time and project that was scheduled. Most importantly he showed up on tine!!! Daryl went above and beyond securing the cabinets to the wall. The weight of the fabric that I plan to store in the cabinets can be substantial. There is no way those cabinets are coming down! He was very professional, made sure I was in agreement with what he was going to do and left the work area clean, working off of contractors blankets. Very reasonable pricing and great work. I have already asked him to come back for 2 more projects. So yes, I highly recommend A Helping Hand for your projects.

Darryl was well organized. He brought all the tools needed for the installs. He even brought drop cloths and a vacuum. He did very neat installs and cleaned up after himself!! He set a time and was punctual. If he was going to be late, he called. He did a super job putting our renovated condo in beautiful shape!!!!

He did such a fantastic job. The blinds were a bit of a complicated project and he handled it beautifully. He's the kind of person if you ask him to do something he does it quickly and quietly. He really is quite fantastic. I would recommend him to anyone. Everything was done to perfection!

Outstanding, excellent....no complaints! Will be coming back to further assist us with our condo remodeling. Takes pride in his work which we so appreciate

Everything went well. Darryl is always prepared with the right tools and materials for the job. He is very pleasant to deal with. He charges $40/hr and is very attentive to his work.

Darryl Akroyd was excellent. His attention to details is wonderful. He really cares about the quality of the work he is doing and has wonderful follow-up skills to make sure you are happy at the end of the job. I recommend him highly, and we are planning on having him back to do some additional work for us yet this month.

Great - on time, friendly and very efficient

I purchased a replacement toilet at Home Depot and A Helping Handyman was one of the three contractors offered through their Pro Referral system. Darryl called very quickly (I was still in line purchasing the toilet), and was adaptable to the fact that I needed it done within 3 days. He moved another appointment (getting agreement first) to swap in mine the next morning. He said he would arrive at 9:30am, and he was exactly on time. He was courteous in laying drop cloths at my doorway and in the work area. Darryl also got to work promptly, and was very thorough in the removal of my current toilet, scraping away old caulking, and cleaning the area. He also upgraded some of the materials, including the shutoff, supply line, and ring, with his own personal inventory. He also took time to answer some questions I had while the job progressed. While installing the new toilet, he noticed a large chip and quickly packaged up the unit, and called Home Depot to get a swap lined up. He then finished up the job, and did not charge me for the time spent traveling to get the replacement. A pleasant experience overall, and I will definitely use him again.

Was very pleased with his work.Was on time did a bang up job,and fixed a bad GFI while he was here. Would highly recommend him to anyone needing home repairs.

We were only in town for the weekend so he agreed to arrive on a Sunday morning at 8am to complete the work. In a world of disappointments, he was a very pleasant surprise. Clean, professional, resourceful. He appears to have a wide variety of skills so we are already planning on bringing him back for some other items on our list. Highly recommend.
