Outside Lights
James P.

This is the second time I've used Handy Hippos and I will be using them again! This time they installed lights on the front of my house. They had to run wire with metal conduit in my garage to get them installed and they did a beautiful job! The first time they came out. They mounted a tv for me and it is exactly what I wanted!

I love these guys! They help me with everything and they are like family now! I love how they are no BS and honest. Their times are very flexible (they work on weekends which is soo good for me as a student). I trust them so much since they will tell me if something needs to be done or not. Very reasonable prices, and will never mark up the cost of a job (receipts will always be given to me too for their materials!). Had lots of work done by them: -water filter installation -tv mount -laundry room paint & drywall -tile put into laundry room -cabinet reconstruction

Working with the Handy Hippos team was one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had. We used their services for TV framing initially, however, Bhavesh and his team were also experts when it came to audio / video installation as well as wire and cable management and we ended up using their services for much more. What stood out to me was how well Bhavesh communicated with me leading up to my appointment. He was super responsive and really served as a consultant to me in terms of what equipment, speakers, frames, cables, etc I needed in order to complete the project as desired. To top it all off- Bhavesh was a pleasure to work with and was very accommodating for me and my family. I highly recommend this company!

The plug they ran behind the tv easily accessible from side

I can't rave enough about Bhavesh and his team at Handy Hippos! First , let me start with the engagement communication- he was first to respond to an online bid, asked all the right questions and answered all my questions. He responded fast and immediately won my confidence. He was able to show up next day, came when he said he would. We had a quick chat and I could tell he was a friendly and very knowledgeable. He quickly got to work, had all the right tools. He ran two access outlets bringing power and coax to the TV. He did this without any damage to the drywall everything looks great (see all pictures). Furthermore, he ran a few longer HDMI cables to better accommodate my setup. He and his helper cleaned up and were friendly. On the way out they helped me move another tv upstairs. I will use them again and have already identified other projects to work on. Use these guys for all your handyman needs! A+!

I bought a high-end TV that is a bit complex to install and they absolutely nailed the job. Bhavesh and his crew were professional, responsive, and friendly. I would hire them again in a second.

New motion sensor dimmers from Orro installed by Happy Hippos

Thanks so much Handy Hippos for the quick reply and appointment. HH arrived on time, installed 6 high tech dimmers and offered suggestions regarding dimmers, and other services offered.

I needed help mounting an 85" TV in my addition and Handy Hippos were the quickest to respond, quote me and schedule the visit. They were in and out in about 30 minutes. They used the mount I was sold with the TV and confirmed positioning with me multiple times including a painter's tape mockup of where it would sit to be 100% sure. They cleaned up after themselves both coming in and leaving, which is hugely appreciated (it was snowing outside). Will call again if I need any of the services they offer.

Evette E.

They were great! They made sure I was happy and came back to finish job after we found that my new tv was cracked. Fast outreach!

My new TV looks great. My first big screen and I love it!

I had them install my new, 65" TV and sound bar and they did a fantastic job. We had good communication, they did a fast, excellent job, and left the place cleaner than when they came. They do more than TV installation, so I plan on using them again with the many protects I have planned.

See all

Back in May/June 2025, I hired Handy Gentlemen for interior work on my house. It is now…read moremid-September. David, the owner, seems like a nice guy, and he did a good job replacing the tiles on my bathroom floor, and he (mostly his assistant) did a lot of painting, which on the whole looks good. But see below... The big issues were what I discovered after he was finished and had left: fresh paint stains in multiple areas, including the wood floor of my 19th century house and even furniture - which I cleaned up. Splattered paint near the ceiling of my kitchen which still, three months later, has not been patched, paint stains on my oriental rug, a major purchase 40 years ago, etc. David said he would pay for the rug damage, and I only asked for 50% of the very reasonable $175 cleaning cost. David told me to bill him via Zelle, something I said I'm not sure how to do. He already has my Zelle information, since that's how I paid him for the work. But after messaging him and emailing several times, he has not responded. And I still have paint streaks on the wall and an unpaid bill. So I can't recommend Handy Gentlemen. I think part of the problem is that David is under-manned and a bit overwhelmed, but not responding to my messages is unprofessional.

We recently had a different "fix it" company here for two days. We gave up on them in frustration. They made a lot of errors and were very slow. ***Then we switched to Mr. Handyman and everything turned around for the better.*** Kevin and Ray got more done in half a day than the two other workers accomplished in two days. And Keven and Ray did a much more professional, higher quality job. Our activities included electrical (over 40 switches and outlets replaced!), painting, basement ceiling track replacement, painting and installation of a basement handrail, sump pump work, exterior caulking, and duct replacement and sealing. Their hourly rate might be a little higher than some of their competitors, but their total cost, due to their expertise and work ethic, was far less. I have absolutely zero hesitation recommending this firm.

Freddy and his crew have worked on several painting projects for us. Ok, pretty much the whole…read morehouse. The first was the kitchen, family room, 2 story foyer, hall and bedrooms. The walls were dark and we were switching to a lighter color. It was done neatly and perfectly. Another project was our finished basement which had several patching repairs they fixed (thanks to our four kids) and made the walls and ceiling look like new. The interior of my home looks completely transformed. They work very efficently, meticulously and are painting pros. This week they came to paint our exterior. About a week before painting, they power washed it all. We have cedar siding that needed lots of caulking and prep before staining, and a ton of white trim. Again, they didn't disappoint. I had Freddy get the paint, match the color and he used all Benjamin Moore products. We have a really tall roofline that had trim that they painted. No problem for these guys. It looks crisp and better than new. Freddy's pricing is extremely reasonable and if you were to get several quotes I am pretty confident that his would come in well under the others. Updating through text and phone, he either starts the project exactly as scheduled or earlier. This may sound basic, but these guys want to work and for that reason I will always call him for our painting needs.

I used Freddy Painting for the first time at my investment property. I found them on Yelp and they…read morehad good reviews so I took a chance. The communication was very good with the company. I thought their estimate for the work at my fourplex was fair because it was a huge job. I had them paint the exterior of the building which has four townhomes and also the decks of the fourplex. Friday even moved furniture off the decks because I wasn't given prior notice that he was coming early to give my tenants the heads up to remove their items. Freddy also repaired loose boards and replaced ones that were rotting. I was very satisfied with this company and their communication. I asked Freddy for a second quote on two more properties that I needed just trimwork repainted. However, I didn't feel their pricing was fair, compared to the other quotes I was receiving. I did end up contracting with my former painter on this job because his estimate was significantly less. Freddy was paid $2700 for the decks at my fourplex, but he wanted $4000 for trimwork on the current job. That wasn't working for me. I would try Freddy Painting again in the future to see if his quote would be fair like the first job. He did good work.

I'm addition we had to hang a new chandelier and Juan did that for us as well - removing the old and installing the new! Juan's communication throughout the entire process was excellent, he came day before scheduled job to set up and lay cloth tarps over floors and covered our staircase entirely. His crew was right on time the day of drywall repairs - they spent the entire day plus a little more repairing all the major cracks, nail pops, trim work. The paint crew was the same - arriving on time , being careful about safety, cleanliness and our children (we have two toddlers that were here during the process) Juan engaged in personal conversation, making us feel comfortable and was very friendly - same with the crew that he has. The project was completed and cleaned up in two days and it was A LOT of work. We had other quotes and we felt that Juan was very honest, competitively / fairly priced and again had excellent communication ensuring all his customers are happy. We would highly recommend him and his crew to anyone looking for wall repair and/or painting! I'm going to post some pictures of the before, during, after!! Great job, guys!
