A lifesaver when you need someone you can truly trust! I was home visiting my parents who live in Evanston and ran into a lighting and electrical issue I wasn't comfortable handling myself. I turned to Yelp -- and thankfully, it led me straight to the right person. Pat from AnyFix came out promptly and quickly diagnosed a short that had knocked out my parents' porch light -- something that could've been a real safety issue, especially since my dad has trouble seeing in the dark. Pat was not only knowledgeable and efficient, but also incredibly kind, honest, and professional. He explained what he was doing every step of the way, fixed the issue perfectly, and made sure everything was safe before leaving. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people, not just getting the job done. I'll definitely be keeping his number on speed dial for any future repairs. If you want someone who's dependable, personable, and knows their craft inside and out -- call Pat at AnyFix. You'll be glad you did. read more

I was in a tight spot with water dripping through a ceiling on a Saturday, with me far from home. Patrick picked up the phone right away and scooted over to my house to get it taken care of. Awesome! read more

Patrick did a great job. He was responsive and came when he said he would. He was so nice! He was. Also, he was able to remove a towel from my toilet that someone had accidentally dropped in th the toilet bowl. He was done in about 10 minutes. read more

Patrick was great. He was on time and very courteous. My bathroom faucet was fixed in a jippy. I would definitely hire him back for more projects. read more

Patrick is very helpful and friendly. I texted him for a bit to explain issue. Eventually he visited my condo. The drain standpipe behind my washing machine smelled really bad. Sewer gas was coming up into the unit. Turns out there was no p trap installed. So Patrick went to hardware store and then installed a P-trap to prevent the smell. His rates are also very fair. read more

Honestly if you pick a different handyman you're just... wrong. Patrick is incredibly responsive, creative, and communicative. Like superman, he has just one weakness, and that's the fact that he avoids painting. I'm fine with that though. He'll take care of everything else and do it extremely fast and with a high degree of excellence. I find myself frequently asking him to round his hourly rate *up* because he's just that good. You certainly will not regret working with him. read more

I found AnyFix via Yelp. I emailed the company and requested a quote to repair my toilet. I received a response promptly and was quoted a very reasonable price. Patrick is very knowledgeable and professional not only did he fix the issue but also took the time to explain how to make adjustments on the part if needed. I highly recommend Patrick and plan to use him again. Thank you, Patrick! read more

Great prep in advance of the repair to minimize the time needed to fix my sink. Plus, there were additional issues found and quality fixed.

Thank you. I've reached out to so many plumbers this week for help. Patrick made time for me super early in the am. I don't usually ask for help until I've exhausted all of my google and YouTube options so I was desperate. We were able to identify the source and I will get in contact with the right people. Thank you, Patrick for helping me out and having a reasonable consultation fee! read more

Found Patrick via Yelp. Left him a VM he replied via text that evening. It may help to have a few pictures- Smart phones have great cameras! My old vintage condo unit needed: New bathroom sink faucet and water lines. (he suggested and purchased great new Faucet- great price.) Installed new Bathtub/shower faucet Cartridge- fixed leak and now turns like new- better than when I moved in many years ago. Old toilet needed all new water reservoir tank parts- he had to take toilet apart and dealt with a corroded nut. Now it works better than 23? year old original! Why did I wait so long? He is very focused and has lots of practice which makes perfect. He also identified kitchen drain plastic pipe leak and fixed. Great value. I highly recommend his work. I already have two more jobs for him- as soon as I pick out light fixtures and stop procrastinating! - read more

Patrick was able to come out next day and provide quality, efficient service. Would definitely use him again for handyman service around the house. Great value. read more

I highly recommend Patrick! He was very responsive and got out to the property very quickly after I reached out. Extremely fair pricing and got the job done fast. Just a very nice and informative guy as well. We will definitely be reaching out to him for future repairs. read more

I highly recommend Patrick. He was responsive, fair in his pricing and performed the work in a high quality manner.

Patrick responded quickly to my request and had my leaking faucet fixed even faster than anticipated! Fair price, excellent service. Highly recommend!!! read more

Patrick was quick to respond and was able to get to my issue the same day. Excellent service.

These guys were great! Ruben & Kenny arrived on time, they communicated everything that they were doing, they were so professional and courteous. They got right to work and were done installing my storm door in no time! I should have called you guys 2 months ago! read more

I had a few small jobs I needed completed around the house, and spent a long time looking for a handyman that would come to Evanston. I tried calling the Fix It Company, as they were recommended by my management company, but they never returned my calls or scheduled the service. Enter Patrick. He returned my email promptly and was so helpful and polite! I contacted him on Monday, and we scheduled an appointment for that Sunday. He showed up on time, worked efficiently, and was a very nice, friendly guy. Normally I don't like to have men in the condo when I'm alone, but I would feel comfortable having Patrick come back to fix something else, even if I was home alone. His rates are also very reasonable. It's been a few weeks, and everything Patrick fixed is working perfectly. Highly recommend! Will definitely use him in the future, and will be recommending him to everyone I know who needs a handyman. You will not regret hiring him! read more

I have a few rental properties and wanted a handy man service who could help me with the little fixes. I found Patrick on Yelp. He had amazing reviews, so I scheduled an appointment. He didn't have any availability for two weeks. I finally got an appointment on 11/12/14 for 10am. At 10:10am, I texted him, asking if he was close. He responded about 5 minutes later saying an emergency happened and asked if he could have my tenant's contact information to reschedule.... No. If an emergency happens and you know you have an appointment coming up, let your appointment know. I should not have had to contact him. I'm so disappointed! I was excited to find someone who could do those little tenant fixes I don't have time for. read more

We had been struggling with our disposal for a couple months after installing a new one. You'd flip the switch and get a humming sound for a minute, then it would shut itself down. We called the manufacturer and even had another handyman in but no one could diagnose the problem. Finally we called Any Fix and Patrick came by. He initially struggled to figure out the problem as well, but systematically worked through what it could be until he figured it out and we now finally have a working disposal. Of course we later promptly threw chicken bones down there and broke it again. j/k. Patrick showed up on time, was very pleasant to deal with, and was knowledgable about some other electrical questions we asked him about our old house. We'll definitely use him again the next time we have minor repairs/work to be done. read more

I was looking for a local, independent handyman and was delighted to find Patrick and all of his stellar reviews on Yelp! He has been to our home on several occasions ranging from replacing our garbage disposal to changing several different faucets and installing some tricky new light fixtures, we have been over the moon with his work after every visit! He's a delight as a person to have in your home, very personable and pleasant. I schedule all work pertaining to the home and I've gotten the impression from other handymen in the past hat they would rather be dealing with the man of the house, not so with Patrick. He is our go to guy for anything we need done and I've recommended him to several friends and clients and will continue to do so. read more

Gave AnyFix a call this morning after seeing the great reviews. Our basement was flooding. Patrick came in within 10 minutes and immediately assessed the problem within a few minutes of arriving. Within 20 minutes he corrected the problem and was on his way. There was a pipe that was incorrectly installed in our drainage system and he just reconnected it. He could have lied (like many do) and tell us we needed a replacement of this part or that part. He didn't and that was refreshing! If you are looking for an HONEST Plumber/Handyman in the Evanston area, PLEASE Call Patrick and AnyFix. I definitely program his number in my phone in case my parents lose his business card! read more

This is my first experience with Patrick from AnyFix. My elderly mother had a leaking faucet. Water was flowing out onto the counter and into her toaster and coffee maker while I was in another state, over a thousand miles away. I contacted AnyFix via text to describe the situation after discovering the advertised services here on Yelp. I noticed the reviews were mixed so I was a tad reluctant but AnyFix came through with flying colors. Patrick immediately returned my text message to set up an appointment. His first appointment opening was two days later. I contacted him on Saturday and he did the work on Monday. He went to my mom's house as scheduled and fixed the faucet problem at a much better rate than a local plumber would have. I am sold, I will definitely be using Patrick for all my handyman needs in the future. It's inspiring to find a trustworthy handyman in the Chicago area I can count on. read more

I am not a helpless girl, so when I decided to update my bathroom by changing all the fixtures I didn't think I was going to need a handyman. I was able to get everything done - removal of medicine cabinet, change light fixture and replace bathroom hardware - except for my towel bar. I measured and then measured again and the holes that were drilled into my ceramic tile were a 1/4" too short and the prior towel bar was forced on. Never having to drill through tile, I knew I was out of my league. I went to friends and realtors first for a guy who could do the job at a reasonable price. None of their recommendations panned out, so I went to yelp. Patrick was the 10th handyman I contacted regarding this job and the only one who responded quickly, provided a quote and was able to come the same day (not that I needed it done immediately but it was a perk). He showed up on time and was done within the hour (I had two companies quote this as a 2-3 hr job that I needed to pay for the drill bit on top of the hourly rate in top of travel time). He was able to drill in the tile near the prior holes so those are now covered and I have a towel bar again in my bathroom. Thanks Patrick!!!! read more

Patrick, with Any Fix was awesome! We told him of our sink problems, he scheduled us in right away, was very easy to get ahold of, and did awesome work for a great price. Now we have a brand new sink and vanity, and we couldn't be happier. He even came back to complete the trim. Great working with you, Patrick! We will certainly call you again! read more

GRADE:F. What a disappointment, especially since they are highly rated. I should have had some inclination when I did not get a fast response to my initial request. I had to have a new kitchen faucet installed, I set it up with Patrick for a Saturday morning. After a few minutes of inspecting under the sink he says 'we have a problem" then proceeded to tell me that the fixtures were old, the type I have no one uses any more, etc. He continued to work but sounded more frustrated as the time ticked by. Then he said I had another problem because he was not able to completely shut off the water. I have had work done before and no one ever had brought that up, including my building engineer. To make a long story short after 90 minutes with no progress Patrick said he would not be able to do it unless the water was shut off. So he left and I still had a broken faucet, no hot water in the kitchen and a new faucet still sitting on the counter. Oh and I was $75.00 poorer. I would NEVER consider this outfit again. If you want reliable work call Rocket Plumbing. They came and within a couple of hours I had my new faucet installed. It was a bit tricky and took longer because I live in an older buidling, but I was impressed with the professionalism shown by Rocket Plumbing. They didn't quit when the work got difficult. With all his years of experience hasn't Patrick worked in old buildings before? It doesn't matter that the pipes were old, he still should have been able to do the job. read more

Well, I have to be upfront and say that I never used his service, but after an initial call telling him what I needed done- he told me to text message him a photo of the repair. He said though that he could do the job but just wanted to see what type of radiators they were. I needed radiators disconnected and capped (not moved), so that the sandblaster could come out and remove them to their shop (they wouldn't disconnect). I sent pictures and believe I was pretty clear about what I needed done. I actually am pretty handy but at the time I was waiting to find out if I was pregnant (no stooping or lifting). I also am without anyone else to call. So, after texting and then receiving a text message asking again what I needed done- I never got a return call or text. So, if you can't do something or if the job is too small, you should say so- I was on a time schedule and had to have things firmly arranged. Luckily I kept calling around and finally got someone who agreed to come out (now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed they show up). Well at least the owner had contacted me back after my review and apologized. That's more than most would do. Humility is important and Id consider using them. read more

I sent Patrick an email to see if he would fix a leaky toilet. He responded promptly, and we were able to get an appointment set-up quickly. His quoted price was very reasonable when compared to other quotes I received, so I decided to go with Patrick. The day of the appointment, he was timely, professional, and very courteous. The service was quick and very closely aligned to the quoted price. If I have a need for help around the house again, I will definitely call Patrick! I was definitely dreading this appointment, but Patrick exceeded all of my expectations! read more

I recently had granite countertops installed in my kitchen. Once the installation was complete I needed a plumber to come out and install the faucet, hook up water lines and drainage pipes. I did a quick search on Yelp that evening and found Any Fix was located right around the block from my condo in Evanston. I gave Patrick a call and he said he would be by the next morning. He said the job would take 2-3 hours. The next day Patrick showed up and got to work. He made a quick trip to Home Depot for some parts. Two hours later I had a working kitchen sink with proper drainage for the sink and dish washer. He didn't leave a mess and the area was clean. I was very impressed with his ability to get everything done in two hours and the price was reasonable. I even have him working on my next project to install a custom built pantry in my kitchen. Two thumbs up for Any Fix! read more

This review is almost 4 years late. Patrick turned out to be the best of the handymen we've used. Not only does he provide you with the highest quality of craftsmanship, his price point is reasonable. He is honest, reliable and full of integrity. I'm glad we found him. He is my husband's go to whenever he needs some handyman work done at any of his properties. I love reminding my husband that it was I who found him through Yelp!!! read more

I never got to see his work. I called for an estimate. Patrick said he would contact me later that day or the next day. Here I am 4 days later and he never got back to me. I had two other contractors out and have chosen one to do our dry wall work in 1 bedroom. Maybe he felt the job was too big or too small, I do not know because he blew me off. Patrick got back to me and said with the warm weather he got slammed with calls. he said he took on too much and apologized about the missed appointment. I get it! read more

This review is overdue but I felt the need to put this in still. I had a hell of a day awhile ago trying to figure out why my hot water heater was broken....called a bunch of handymen and to no avail no one could help me out. Came across Patrick who actually picked up the phone when I called and he was super nice. He could be over shortly. I was relieved especially having gone more then I'd like without any hot water and I was stressing out. He assessed the situation, fixed the water heater within a short amount of time and was on his way. Oh and he tightened up my loose faucet in the kitchen because he noticed it, how nice. The whole time he worked he was so polite, friendly and honest, eliminating my stress. He didn't charge me an arm and a leg. It was reasonable. I would definitely recommend him and use him again should something else come up! read more

Cheep, efffective and friendly. Even tightend up the faucet on my sink of for me!

I was left in a lurch when a plumber left me with a job literally half done. He actually sawed off a faucet and left my house in pieces with brass shavings all over. Any Fix to the rescue! Even though I live beyond Patrick's normal service area, he came out within minimal time, arrived early, with parts, and worked diligently all day on my multiple bathroom/faucet issues. When he says he's efficient, you can count on it. No wasting time on the phone or eating McDonald's in my living room! He also checked some other plumbing & appliances and recommended DOING NOTHING - (who does that?! honesty is the best policy!) Beyond that he was polite and pleasant - even my evil dogs liked him! Two thumbs up for this good jack-of-all-trades. read more

I had a ballast that went out in my kitchen ceiling light and called Anyfix. Patrick came by right away and gave me an estimate. The ballast I had was pretty uncommon so he told me my options and followed up the next day with info. on different parts, making it easier for me. He was able to replace the fixture in under an hour (including a run to hardware store), and was conscious of not making a mess. Great job, efficient, and yay now I have working lights! read more

Patrick helped us with several small projects around the house -- painting, small repairs, etc. He was professional, had a reasonable rate, and was very tidy. We will contact him to bid on future projects. read more

After trying another no-show handyman who gave us the run-around, we called Any Fix Inc to see if they could come hang some heavy pictures and make some other repairs that we didn't know how to do. Patrick scheduled us right away and came over prepared for anything. Turns out I had wildly underestimated the number of jobs we needed done, but Patrick cheerfully stayed through lunch, more than half the day to get the job completed. He did good quality work and problem solving to help meet our requests. He doesn't know it yet, but we're about to call him up for Phase 2! read more

I had made a mess of my toilet by trying to do a "simple" installation of a diaper sprayer on my own. Once I had reached the point of no return I realized I was in trouble and had to call a plumber. I called Patrick after finding him on Yelp and he was wonderful. Luckily for me he was stuck on the expressway not far from my home and was able to get there quickly, assess the problem and run for parts. He had me up and working again in less than an hour and was very reasonably priced. I now have a wonderful working piece of equipment and have found a new handyman for any other jams that I get myself into. read more

Patrick was prompt, efficient, nice, and did a great job. I needed two hanging lights switched and he was able to do the work without problems. Thank you Patrick! read more

Small Businesses are the best when the principal is a good guy. This is a great example. I just needed my drain snaked out. He was here in less than 24 hours and the job was done before my wife got up in the morning. I told her the Drain Fairy did it! The price was low enough to put me out of the do-it-yourself business. read more

I purchased a projector a few months ago and was really tired of the plug running to an extension cord and looking awful. I needed an outlet and a space to run cables on the ceiling by the projector. I requested quotes a couple times through various sites but either the electrican would not provide a quote or their quote would be something like 3 hours at 500 total. Finally, patrick responded quickly to a last ditch request for quotes through yelp before I bought one of those cheesy extension cord through wall solutions on amazon. Patrick arrived right on time. Worked very quickly and was done in about an hour. Very happy with the work he did. I will definitely be calling him back when I need a job done. My only regret is not finding him sooner read more
