After researching a few different general handyman services, I decided to give Del and his team at Dr. Handy Services a try. They had great reviews on TaskRabbit (which they no longer do) and Amazon Services and they definitely lived up to expectations. Del returned my call right away and showed up exactly on time. As I found out, Del was a union electrician for several years before starting his own business, and did a great job installing light switches in my place. He also mounted my flat screen TV and did a few other projects around my house. They had a great attitude and are just nice people. I'd definitely use this company again. read more

We recently used DR Handy Services when we were selling our condo. There were a few items on the home inspection list that we agreed to have repaired and Del was great to work with. He checked the outlets in the kitchen to ensure they were up to code and also did a couple of odd jobs such as check the smoke detector and fix the latch on our glass sliding door. Del was very prompt to respond to messages and we will definitely use him in the future! read more

Recently, I just moved into a new house and needed to have my electrical panel replaced. After looking around online I came across Dr. Handy Services. Del came by the house to give me an estimate and he was reasonably priced. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. His team did a great job of installing the panel and everything works great in my house. I also like the fact that they are very respectful of your property. When I came downstairs to check it out it was very clean and I had no mess to clean up from installation unlike previous contractors I had work on other projects I had done. I will definitely be using Del and his team for future projects. read more

They installed a ceiling fan for us. The doorbell rang right in time and the fan was installed quickly My husband even called a couple days later and they FaceTime with him to answer the question he had. Definitely will use again. read more

Very professional and easy to work with. They listened to how I wanted things and did a great job. I would definitely call them again.

I cannot say enough good things about Del and his team. We had a seemingly minor but ultimately challenging job - a small space with old, complicated features. We were having trouble finding someone to do the job (a common issue during this long pandemic year). Del came highly recommended by our neighbor. Every step of the way, his company was excellent: 1) responsiveness, ongoing communication, and timely scheduling (via the fantastic Denise); 2) excellent care and workmanship, both by Del+team (installing new light fixtures and complex switches) and by David+team (removing wallpaper, conditioning the damaged walls, painting, and doing minor "handyman" repairs); 3) cost and payment - reasonable and easy. Honestly, this is a fantastic company. And the guys are super nice - total bonus. (Also - very COVID respectful. We're vaccinated, but really appreciate the company's concern for public health.) If I could give 6 stars, I would. read more

Del did a number of handyman jobs around the house for me. Incredibly efficient, very friendly and great results.

Del is awesome. Very professional and gets the job done, no matter what it is. Definitely call him!

I have used Del and his team for a couple of things. Blind installations, installation of several GFCI outlets, and the work was done quickly and efficiently. I can't recommend Del and his team more. Del was very responsive and the price was right. If Del is not able to do a service, he will connect you to a member of his team. I highly recommend Del for any work that needs to be done in your home. read more

I work out of my home, and the electricity went out, and I went into panic mode. I had important business the very next day, and could not afford to wait for an electrician the following day. DR Handy Services to the rescue! Even though they still had two jobs left for the entire remaining part of the day, I got a call at the end of the day that they would come over and try to assist me. Every other electrician, except for one who wanted to charge a high fee for doing so, told me tomorrow was the earliest. It turned out all I needed to do was turn the breakers on and off, so I didn't need DR Handy services after all. But their willingness to help me on such short notice is highly appreciated. Choose these folks! read more

Our heavy medicine cabinet with embedded light bar fell off the wall late on Friday night. I sent Del an email after it happened, thinking he probably wouldn't respond until after New Year's and was pleasantly surprised when he replied within a couple of hours. I sent him photos of the cabinet and contacted him the following morning (Saturday). After a couple of convos/texts, he informed me that he would be able to come by in an hour or so with one of his co-workers to rewire the electric and hang it back up. It was a 2 man job and they did it in just over an hour. A little more than I wanted to spend, however, worth every penny since he was able to fit us in a the last minute on a weekend, which was great since we have guests coming over. Del and his co-worker are professional, courteous and very accommodating. He provided top notch service and guarantee his work 100%. I would definitely hire him again. read more

Del was awesome. He was very professional and let me know everything he was doing. He walked me step by step of what to do should I want to make any changes in the future. He made sure my opinion mattered and wanted to make sure I was 100% happy with his work before he left. I would use him again for future projects. read more

Del and his dad arrived on short notice to replace a couple chandeliers, house numbers and an outdoor light. I was super pleased they were able to fit me in next day. Del's communication, professionalism and attention to detail made it a smooth process. I also enjoyed visiting with his dad. An interesting gentleman from Spain who was a renowned stained glass artist in his time! read more

Del is awesome! We had him come a year and a half ago to replace a ceiling fan in our dining room with a chandelier. Him and his dad came while we were out of town and were in touch the whole time sending pictures and checking to make sure it was as we wanted! Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I contacted Del to come and swap 2 grungy ceiling fans with new ones. He managed to fit us in right away. He is professional, knowledgeable, kind, and punctual. We are buying a new house and if we need any work, he will be our first call. Highly highly recommend! Thanks Del for a great experience. read more

I needed to get two TVs mounted (75 inch and 55 inch) install a ceiling fan, and an electric outlet and needed some framed pictures hung. Del is very responsive and prompt to communicate with. On he day of the job, he came with a team of three. Everyone was very professional and very pleasant to interact with. Job was done professionally, and they cleaned very well afterwards. I am very pleased with the quality and precision of their work and the rates are quite reasonable. I was also happy that I didn't have to call different companies to get all these done. Good job, thanks again Del! read more

I had Del mount two smart televisions and help with set up. He exceeded my expectations in all respects. When he arrived, he took a few minutes for me to show the two locations where sets would be installed. He then explained in detail what he would be doing and proceeded to accomplish each step of the project, explaining what he was doing as he went along and answering any questions I had. He had the mounts that were needed with him so a second visit wasn't necessary. When he finished, he helped me set up passwords, speakers, etc., so that we could confirm that the sets were working correctly. He tucked the wires behind the set so they didn't show. He cleaned up thoroughly. I greatly appreciated the care with which he completed the project and his patience with the few obstacles he encountered. His price for the project was more than fair. He also pre-sold me on an exterior security system that I hope to get in the future. I highly recommend Del and intend to call him for future electrical repairs/projects. read more

I had Dr. Handy Services hang a 3 heavy mirrors and 3 wall sconces. They did a great job, and made sure that we were satisfied with the work. Would definitely work with them again and highly recommend. read more

Del is fantastic! Second time he's come to do electrical work, I have a house that's wired so crazily, with outlets all over the house on the same circuit. He listened patiently to the problem, figured out what was wrong in about three minutes, no joke! Fixed it inside a half hour. He will be my go-to guy for electrical work. read more

Del is absolutely the best. I had a lot of art to hang, including a really fragile antique mirror. He was careful throughout the whole process - from precise measuring to the handling of the art. He also has a great eye. I also love that he is quick to respond to texts and messages. I will be using Del again - and can't recommend him enough. He's great! read more

I contacted DR Handy Services on a Wednesday and we were scheduled for 48 hours later. Del showed up 15 minutes early, was professional, and got the job done quickly. His price was extremely fair for moving a light switch. I would highly recommend using DR Handy Services. read more

I recently hired Del to install a light fixture in my home. It ended up being a much more difficult process than either of us expected, but he did an excellent job and even vacuumed up before he left. He was on time, professional, friendly and fairly priced. I will definitely be hiring him again! It's difficult to find good electrician and handyman services, but I'm so glad I found him! read more

Services are awesome. Arrives on time and ensures exactly how you would like something mounted or installed. I had two tv's mounted and motion light installed. Certainly would recommend to others. read more

Del just finished his first job for me and I am already making a mental list of what I might someday want him to help me with in the future. I am very pleased with the work he did -- hanging a heavy spice rack, mirror, and jewelry armoire on old plaster walls -- and found the overall experience of working with him to be very positive and pleasant. I initially contacted him by email to inquire about his availability to assist with the work I needed done. He was extremely responsive in his correspondence, even though I wrote him over the 4th of July weekend. We set up an appointment for just a few days later and he contacted me by both phone and text on the day of to confirm his arrival time. He was very efficient and neat in his work, which he said he guarantees, and he really made the effort to ensure my items were hung straight and securely. He is very personable and polite and patiently answered questions I had along the way. When he mentioned in passing his experience working as an electrician, I seized the opportunity to ask him a few questions I had about adding an additional outlet or circuit in my bedroom. He offered a very helpful and informative consultation, even though that wasn't what I had initially engaged him for and it was already quite late in the day. Finally, for the excellent work that he does, I think his rate is extremely reasonable. He will definitely be the first call I make the next time I need work done around my condo. Thanks again, Del! You did a great job! read more
