William is on-site 90% of the time working alongside his crew, who work efficiently without needing any oversight. He asks the right questions and always offers brilliant project suggestions. Background & First Rental Property We were introduced to William Whalen (Handyman Around the Corner) by the owners of Malt & Burger after seeing the excellent refurbishment work he did on their restaurant. William has handled multiple large-scale repair jobs for us over the years, starting with getting our first rental property ready for sale. It involved a massive list of detailed, nit-picky items, and his team knocked them out quickly and affordably. Work on the first rental included: * Living Areas & Bedrooms: Complete paint touch-ups, lubricating stubborn blinds, installing missing outlet/switch plates, mounting mirrors, and installing heavy glass cabinet doors. * Kitchen & Bathrooms: Replacing plumbing fixtures/faucets, re-attaching the dishwasher kickplate, and repainting the master bathroom vanity and cabinetry. * Utility & Safety: Installing an extended dryer exhaust hose, cleaning out deep roof-line lint vents, and covering exposed electrical outlets. * Exterior & Garage: Repairing storm door handles and weatherstripping, patching/painting garage ceilings, and securely hanging fluorescent workshop lights. Our Main House For our primary residence, William and his crew stepped up to handle major exterior upgrades and structural changes, including: * Replacing three windows and fully recaulking all windows. * Pressure washing and painting the entire exterior of the house. * Demolishing the rear patio cover and adjusting the rear screen door. * Replacing the front door completely. * Installing a foundational drip line system. Second Rental Property On our second rental unit, they executed a total refresh from top to bottom: * Exterior Maintenance: Repairing and recaulking the Hardie siding seams, followed by two fresh coats of exterior paint. * Fencing: Installing two new 6 ft. x 6 ft. chain-link gates. * Interior Overhaul: Repairing drywall damage, refreshing the trim and baseboards with new paint, and installing a foundational drip line. * Flooring Highlight: Replaced all old flooring with waterproof laminate flooring and new shoe molding. A huge shoutout goes to his flooring specialist--he was incredibly fast, and the final floor job was absolutely perfect! Minor Adjustments & Accountability Any minor do-overs were rare and handled with total professionalism. When a few windows needed better caulking and paint touch-ups, William's painter immediately came back to scrape and recaulk everything perfectly. There were a couple of quick DIY fixes on my end for minor drip line leaks, though in William's defense, these specific Swan Hose Element EZ-Connect Soaker Hoses were a unique system he hadn't used before. We also had a slight communication mix-up regarding the soffit above the demolished patio cover; I requested to "tear it down" but forgot to specify restoring the original soffit layout. Even so, William proactively sent a crew member out to try and clip it back into place for us. Final Verdict If I owned a larger portfolio of rental properties, I would put William on a monthly retainer without hesitation. If you want a contractor who is honest, fast, reasonable, and brings top-tier specialists to the job, I highly recommend Handyman Around the Corner.

The quote was 1/3 of the price of two other electricians who had previously quoted. The Master electrician had great communication, was on time, and completed the job in one day! No additional trips, no waiting. He even told me he was going for lunch and what time he would be back. The work is very professional as well. My cousins and father in-law(retired) are all electricians from a far. They complimented the work! I have used Handyman ATC for painting, flooring , tile work, sheet rock, roof repair, plumbing, and now electrical repair. He really stands by his work and provides quality service at a reasonable price.
