"I had a garage Gladiator cabinet and shelving system installed by Bud, and I really appreciated his craftsmanship, and professionalism. The work went by swiftly although it was a big project, as Bud already had experience installing these which I was glad to hear. It's not something I could have done myself so I think that there is great value in quality work like this. I would definitely recommend Ace Handyman Services to anyone in the area, as they specialize in a variety of services and also bundle services together to get various projects done at the same time. I am having another project done soon, which involves kitchen plumbing. Thank you, Ace Handyman Services!" ~ Agnes

"Unbelievable! Greatly pleased with all that James O did for us. He realized that installing the fan and securing our banister would never fill a 2 hour slot so he started searching for things to tighten and improve to fill the time slot. James O seems to really enjoy his work and he seems to be very good at what he does. I call it the love of the game...like watching Michael Jordan play basketball or Walter Payton play football. It was a blessing to watch James O work, he's not just skilled, he's got great talent and he spent my money as though it was coming out of his pocket." ~ Michael
