Just realized I made my first review for Bruce at Home Handyworks 10 years ago! Update: I have been hiring him on a regular basis this entire time for too many jobs to remember. Doorknobs, plumbing, electrical, ceiling fans, cabinetry, kitchen floor tiling, countertop installation. He's even taken on a couple challenges with creative problem solving that other contractors wouldn't touch. Communication and reliability is great. Highly recommended. read more

Home Handyworks - 6 drawer dresser - General Contractors Near Me

Bruce was able to figure out the leak under my sink, resolved the problem along with attaching my lighting fixtures.

Bruce is very knowledgeable, punctual, professional, does quality work and I highly recommend him!!!

This guy doesn't want your business. I've called him three time with no response. Not too smart for a "handyman" to blow off his potential customers and his potential revenue. Maybe he's a rich handyman? Since he refused to talk to me, I have no idea. read more

I asked Bruce to come back to my house for a problem where the water will not drain from the kitchen sink- on new year's day evening! Gave Bruce a call and to my surprise Bruce cheerfully told me he'll come over in about 20 minutes. Bruce inspected everything carefully and quickly determined the clogged pipe is not under the sink, he didnt stop there. He took me outside and showed me where the access point to the "main line" is.. then proceed to drain the standing water from that access point and went ahead and tried something else, try to unclog with the garden hose on full force "I would try this on my own house if I have the same problem" Bruce said. Even though the garden hose approach was not successful, standing there in the cold and in the dark and water all around us, I cant tell you how grateful I am for Bruce giving his best try. And get this, Bruce said he can not take my money for a problem he can not fix and advised me to get rooter services. Bruce is genuine, responsive and I'm happy to recommend Bruce to any home owners I know. read more

Great work. Needed a dishwasher installed at my mom's house. Bruce was easy to communicate with ahead of time and showed up right on time for the appointment and did a great job installing the new dishwasher, removing the old one, and cleaning up. Thanks Bruce! read more

We moved into our home 2 years and have been calling on Bruce since then. He was referred by our realtors and he is excellent. He is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to electrical, plumbing, and truly any small project you have around the house. He is incredibly patient and always takes the time to educate us about his process such that we can become proficient homeowners. What's more is if he isn't the right person for the fix you need, he has a vast network he can readily recommend. We feel incredibly lucky to have met Bruce and thank him for all the great work he has done for us! read more

I have known and used Bruce for over 5 years and he is kind and courteous to our renter, responds quickly and has always been able to fix our problems with our rental. Thanks read more

Great work by Bruce on my home. I needed various work done on removing a wall, adding a closet wall, electrical, plumbing capped, and a kitchenette removed for a house sale. He made all the difference! read more

Bruce installed an electric cooktop for us and he was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive during scheduling, and was very professional and efficient in doing the installation. The work was very neat too. To top it all off, his pricing was extremely reasonable. read more

This review is long overdue. For all my real estate clients, I always recommended Bruce - And they were always extremely pleased. This was the past 8+ years and the irony was that I hadn't had the opportunity for him to on my personal property until the last 2 years. Didn't have a reason until then since we're pretty handy ourselves. He's VERY responsive, reasonable and very adept. He helped get my house ready for sale with a long punch list from a demanding buyer. Then at my new house, I had him put in the new water heater. He's very honest about what he can and cannot do. For example, when I had inquired about him looking at my new gas stove, he had recommended a specialist. Same when I asked him to replace a sunroof. I continue to refer him out and for ourselves. read more

I was recently referred to Bruce by another agent in my office. The tenant in my rental property had moved out and it was time to take care of all the deferred maintenance that accumulates over a few years time. Every project I threw at Bruce was handled with the utmost of ease and the quality of his work is second to none. Electrical, plumbing, carpentry, painting, waste disposal - Bruce did it all. Don't be mistaken by the "handyman" title he goes by - he's a full fledged licensed general contractor and not only is he good at what he does, but he's a pleasure to deal with. He tells you when he can get to your job and arrives as promised. He's incredibly conscientious about the bottom line and I felt like he always had my best interest in mind. I will definitely use Bruce again in the future. read more

Bruce is very friendly person with great skills He fixed my baseboard damage work within few minutes. Very knowledgeable and gives suggestions on fixing stuff. read more

Bruce is honest and knows what he's doing. I hired him him to fix a toilet that was still leaking after I had it "fixed" by another handyman. After Bruce put in a new fill valve, the problem was fixed! I've also hired him to remove and replace our kitchen faucet. It took him just a couple of hours to do the job. It was awesome. I highly recommend him! read more

Extremely professional and organized service, would highly recommend this service. Installed closet organizer in master closet very efficiently and showed good carpenter skills. Thanks, Brian G read more

Bruce at HomeHandyworks has done several projects for me over the last two years. I can tell he really enjoys his work. I've learned a lot by talking with him. He's willing to tell how things are done, and let the customer be involved in planning. Most recently, he put up a shed in the backyard, first making the wooden base. Very nice job, done in a single day while I was at work. Last summer, he painted the trim of the house. Since the trim is a different color than the rest of our exterior, this was careful work. He also painted our interior hallway. He's a talented painter with excellent attention to detail. He installed wall-plates, for network and TV-cable connections within the house. (Before I just had wires coming out of the carpet.) This involved pulling out the floor board and cutting drywall to install the wall plate. He renovated a weathered outside door, by gluing a thin piece of wood to it, and he installed drywall in the garage, where no drywall was before. Bruce regularly arrived ~10AM, finishing by ~5 or 6. I noticed he sets goals for himself, and takes pains to meet them by the day's end. I highly recommend him, for the most challenging projects. read more

Bruce is so competent, knowledgeable and hardworking. He takes the time to figure out solutions for various household repairs or upgrades and then proceeds to complete those tasks with care and precision. He has a very broad knowledge of so many different aspects of household maintenance. Bruce is reliable and friendly. We are so grateful we can count on Bruce when we need a handyman. read more

My office was in need of a real handyman. Our toilet was constantly running (it would take forever to flush), door trims needed to be replaced, large items needed to be hung on the wall, etc. We had a long list of things to fix. It was a blessing when a friend referred Bruce. He is very reliable and efficient. He will build, fix and install it all (quoted from his business pen). Plus his hourly rates are very reasonable. I would highly recommend Bruce. Wherever you're at, he will be there! read more

We contacted Bruce for some odd jobs that we could not find the time to do with our expanding family. He was on time, professional, quick and efficient. We would recommend anyone needing tiling,caulking, closet shelf repair or garage storage racks to use his service! read more

Bruce came out to install a bathroom vanity/sink, toilet and custom blinds throughout the house. His work is impeccable and efficient. I left the house for about 30-45 mins, came back and the blinds were done! I will definitely be calling on Bruce again in the future. His prices are more than fair, doesn't mark up the cost of materials and doesn't waste any time. Although I'd like to keep him our little secret, looks like the word is out already! Highly recommend!! read more

Bruce was on time for the first appointment and was friendly and finished a bunch of work for us. Then he disappeared... with our screens... because he was trying to fix them. It took many texts and many days until we were able to track him down. He finally came back to reinstall the fixed screens and fix a couple of other things... then he was close to impossible to track down after that. We would text him, he would tell us he was going to show up on X day, and never show up. We were managing a ton of contractors and also felt like we had to put a lot of effort into getting Bruce pinned down. If you are going to work with him, make sure you are very specific about what you need, and the priority. He may end up fixing some additional stuff you didn't ask for. That may be great, but it incurs additional costs and if you have other priorities, you might not be able to track him down for the more important stuff. He seems to work on a "floating" schedule and catches sleep in between jobs, so if you're not in a hurry and don't need a commitment, you should be ok. He told us he could do electrical/plumbing, but he never showed up to get to it. He did the easy stuff first, then disappeared for days. He also made Home Depot runs to buy supplies but we found out later that the supplies he bought were the wrong items. If you do have him do Home Depot runs, make sure you get the receipt so you can return the items if they are wrong afterwards. Overall, a very frustrating and time consuming experience working with Bruce, and we are so glad we found a better handyman that's a bit more punctual and on the ball. read more

Used Bruce's services this past weekend after reading his reviews on Yelp. Have to say, Bruce is everything others have written. He was prompt, friendly, reasonably priced and did an excellent job installing drywall on my damaged ceiling. He also let me watch and assist him at the same time so I could learn what he was doing. He cleaned up afterwards and gave me valuable advice in a few other areas where I have been working around the house. I recommend Bruce highly and will use his services again in the future. read more

Bruce did an excellent job installing our laundry room cabinets. The guy is a rocket scientist, really. Knows his stuff, great attention to detail, fair rates. Really nice, personable guy who clearly enjoys what he does. read more

Highly recommend! Bruce came out the morning after I called and replaced our old microwave with a new one I had purchased. After attempting to take out the old one ourselves, it's a good thing I contacted Bruce. He was able to not only remove the old microwave, but also remove a fire hazard and bring it up to code. He was prompt, friendly, careful, and got the job done quick. Reasonable rates also! Thank you Bruce and I'll be calling you again! read more

I had a cracked 4" sewer line that had been leaking and collapsed the drywall ceiling in my garage. Bruce was fast, friendly, and did excellent work. He repaired the plumbing, replaced the insulation, and fixed the ceiling. In addition to being very skilled, his rates are extremely affordable. I recommend him without reservation. If you need something (anything!) repaired, call Bruce. read more

Bruce was excellent! He fixed my attic ladder when one of the spring mechanisms failed. Very polite and quick. Definitely will use his services again! read more

I had Bruce come for the first time today and he was truly amazing! He installed a range hood, readjusted the space under the counter to slide my new dishwasher into place, installed 4 new electrical outlets, inspected several more electrical outlets and switches, and fixed an incorrect wiring installation on my garage switch and garage door opener (that I had not noticed that turned out to be a REAL safety issue)...Whew! And, he did all of this in 3 hours @ an incredibly reasonable price while explaining and showing everything to me along the way. He does excellent, quality work and I look forward to his next visit! Thanks fellow Yelpers! read more

My husband and I are very pleased with Bruce's work. He came in and took care of some odd jobs that we had around the house....most notably our dishwasher plumbing and a leaky, moldy shower. The shower was in our master bathroom, and so loud that our sleep was disturbed. It's so peaceful now! And our dishwasher doesn't leave food deposits from our disposal anymore. He is reasonably priced, on time and does what he says. We highly recommend him for your home repairs! read more

My company needed a contractor to fix a trim. I texted and got a response right away. I made an appt and Bruce came to the rescue. Clients called me to tell me he did an amazing job! Super realizable. He will be our go to contractor from now on. Keep up the awesome job! read more

I could definitely tell that Bruce is an honest and hard working businessman. Would definitely recommend him!

Bruce is fantastic. We use him for all of our handyman needs! He is quick, well priced and does a fantastic job

I really don't mean to be insensitive but I've called this business over 3 times in the last month and no reply. Maybe too busy? Who knows.

Just had Bruce move a light fixture in a bathroom for me, and patch the hole in the drywall. He got back to me in a few days, and scheduled a 5:30 P.M. visit, which as someone who cannot be home during the day I really appreciate. He does careful work and is makes sure not to damage anything. My first time using Bruce, but I would definitely call him again. read more

Bruce installed a oven hood and a ceiling fan. He was very professional and knowledgeable. I would recommend him for home repair jobs and intend on using him in the future. read more

Bruce has been the ultimate handyman professional that we have ever been lucky enough to find. Truly a Renaissance Man, he has been able to do everything we have asked of him...which has ranged from carpentry and plumbing to lighting and ceiling fans. He is also the friendliest and most courteous person I think I've ever met. Always has a positive attitude, is incredibly respectful and his prices are more than fair. Bruce is a true gem!! read more

This is probably the 3rd or 4th time I've had Bruce take care of the "punch list" of things I need done at my townhouse. First off, Bruce schedules appointments by either email or phone, so you're not always chasing him to get a callback. And then he actually arrives on time, which is unheard of! He completed everything I had on my list and when I mentioned my wireless router wasn't working well and I wanted to stream Netflix on my Wii, he sat down and we got that all squared away as well. General contractor AND Geek Squad all rolled into one. Bruce is on time, pleasant to work with, trustworthy, reasonable, and good at what he does. Who could ask for more? read more

I am so pleased to have found Bruce. He is not only knowledgeble and skilled, he is conscientious and efficient as he truly cares and wants to offer you quality work. Although my requests thus far nay be basic snd standard to Bruce these are things important to me that I need help with. He has been ready, willing, and able to help with all that I've asked of him over the last few months. I have long needed someone like Bruce as there is always something in or around the house I am in need of help with. My experience with former handymen has been that they are unreliable or charge an awfully costly price for their services. I feel Bruce is fair with costs and offers you work that you will feel was worth this cost. I recommend Bruce to anyone in need of his skills. I surely will for a long time to come. read more

Bruce knows what he is doing, he is very timely, professional, flexible, and is willing to help. Awesome experience.

my projects are all caught up so now I'll let you in on my secret. Bruce at Home Handy works. Very nice, but accommodating and efficient
