Description of Work: Curtis completed a number of jobs for us. The main one was to mount our television above the fireplace. As part of this he installed power, HDTV and cat5 cabling behind the wall, re plastered the points of entry and exit for the cabling, re-texturized the wall and painted. He did a great job, and was very particular to make sure everything was done perfectly. He also installed a couple of power points with USB charger points, sorted out a door that wasn't shutting properly and added insulation around the door of a loft entryway. He also did a couple of other small jobs for me.

Description of Work: install laminate wood floor, remove/replace ceiling fan, install baseboards and caulk.

Description of Work: I needed a couple of ceiling fans hung, and new mounts for my new TV's, including the new outlets. Also had a new dining room light hung.

Description of Work: We had a very good experience with Houston Handy Husband and would definitely use this company whenever possible. Initially, we had miscellaneous projects done (Installing garage shelves and hooks, repairing rusted exterior door, fixing drywall damage, etc.) by Curtis who is the owner. It was the typical handyman jobs we felt comfortable enough with hiring an unknown. We realized this was a handyman that has integrity and has a broad amount of knowledge coupled with his willingness to bring in others who specialize in a particular area if it isn't his specialty or he doesn't feel he can get the job done as efficiently. He doesn't charge extra for the people he brings in either. He just gets them to work at his hourly rate, which I love because it takes the time and hassle away from me of trying to find someone suitable for each job. Curtis noticed our fence was severely rusted while installing a drip system for our potted plants, and brought it to our attention. We were not even aware of how bad the rust had become and were so disappointed to see it because it was almost rusted completely through and obviously had become a safety issue. Our fence was only 6 years old and had been sanded and painted twice in that length of time by 2 different companies. The last time was just the year prior. Curtis explained that it would be better to be out the expense now to replace it with aluminum as opposed to continually try to sand and paint it and the piece he brought to our attention wouldn't be salvageable at that point anyway. After checking prices with different companies, we decided to give Curtis a chance to install the aluminum fence and we are SO glad we did. What a difference it is. It took him longer than a specialized fencing company, but he told us that up front. We decided it was better to have the job take a week longer, but work with someone that has shown himself to be honest and do quality work. We have had the fence almost a year and of course have no signs of rust. We are going to have him change out a child safety fence that is under a covered area next. We thought we could save money on that part and not replace it just yet since it is covered and protected from weather, but it too has totally rusted now. Such a disappointment to spend that kind of money on a product that is meant for safety and it doesn't last more than a couple years. At least we know this time we will get a product that will last for much longer. I would also say this, I wish we would have known Curtis when we purchased our home because he is great at catching things that were done incorrectly. We hired an inspector, but it is a one time event and they are quite pricey whereas, Curtis charges $55/hr, and offers various discounts.

Description of Work: I had a drywall repair on a ceiling that was damaged by an AC leak. The ceiling is approximately 18' high. In addition I needed a drywall repair near a shower door that was water damaged.

Description of Work: We had Houston Handy Husband perform a variety of services for us and we were very pleased with all of them. We had them pressure wash our driveway (what a difference), put in wood flooring, repair some walls and a number of other around the house items we just dont' have time to do. They told us up front while they perform a number of different services, they really focus in on the ones they do well, and for the work they did, we were very happy.

Description of Work: We needed our fence replaced because it was rusting out in several places, even though it was only five years old. We have a steel fence, and even though we have had it repainted it would still rust. We had Houston Handy Husband replace our existing fence with an aluminum fence, which looks exactly the same, but it will never rust. The installation turned out great and we saved several thousand dollars compared to other quotes we received. They also replaced some gates with child locks on them and they also work great. They were a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend.
