I never know whether to trust rave reviews on Yelp, but in the case of Brian Ludlow, owner of Ludlow's Handyman Services, the five star ratings are spot on accurate. I needed a mailbox installed and had tried for 3 months to schedule various handyman recommended by neighbors. I finally took things into my own hands and searched for a reputable and highly rated handyman on Yelp. There were several options to choose from, but I was immediately drawn to Brian's business because it is locally owned and operated by him. Plus, I really liked his bio. I could tell he was someone who enjoyed his work and was focused on high quality outcomes for customer projects. Brian did not disappoint. Every step of the process was a good one. My first point of contact was through Yelp messaging. That's when I first knew I was on the right track because Brian promptly replied. Moreover, his communication skills were excellent from the get-go. He was able to fit me into his schedule a few days after my request. He arrived on time prepared with what he needed to do the job. Everything went smoothly, especially because Brian and I had reviewed the installation instructions through photos I attached to our Yelp messages. He was able to acquire the remaining needed materials that I did not have on hand. Brian clearly knew what he was doing and got the mailbox installed without any problems. He charged a reasonable amount and was a pleasure to work with. I had a great customer experience. I already have other projects lined up for him. Living in a 200-year-old home is going to provide plenty of opportunities to call on Brian's experience and excellent problem-solving skills. read more

Brian was awesome. We hired him for the day! He helped us install ceiling vents, door knobs, bathroom fixtures, etc on new construction. He also put together a complicated furniture purchase! If a need arises, we would hire him again! Conscientious, thorough, and tidy! Pleasant guy. read more

Glenn assembled a complicated cabinet for me. He did a great job. It is a large glass cabinet from Wayfair. His price was very fair.

Brian was responsive and reasonable with his pricing. He showed up at the agreed-upon time and completed the project as expected, to put on a vent cover on the outside of a house on the second floor. It's was a in a hard to reach spot, but Brian was able to figure it out. He was also very professional and friendly. read more

Finding someone to take on a handful of challenging small repairs is not easy. Ludlow's was amazing. I had a waterfall feature that needed to be taken out of wall and have a pump replaced. Surrounded by custom molding which Brian carefully removed--lifted the unit out of the wall and installed the new pump. Working beautifully. He tackled it masterfully. He was on time, friendly, reasonable and delivered professional results. He is now our "go to " person for a number of repair and paint jobs. I just can't say enough about the quality of his work!!!! Look at the waterfall unit....thanks so much Brian. read more

Brian built us some outdoor steps to replace our 20+ year old steps that finally gave way. The new steps are so sturdy & well built! He did a great job! Also, installed a laundry room faucet for us that had been sitting here for 2 years waiting for my husband to install it. Thanks so much Brian! read more

Brian was great to work with! Very responsive and adhered to the schedule he set forth.

Brian did an amazing job repairing the woodpecker holes on the side of our house. I highly recommend him and look forward to hiring him for future projects. read more

His willingness to do the small jobs that I can't handle is absolutely wonderful. So many contractors don't want to be bothered with a bunch of small jobs and so they overprice it and make it impossible to get the work done. Brian is just the opposite. read more

Highly recommended. Would not hesitate to use Brian's services in the future. He was excellent on communication, on time, professional, and his fees were reasonable. read more

Brian Ludlow is an excellent handyman. He and his partner Joe (electrician) came to move my pantry from one side of the kitchen to the other. They planned the job, executed, and cleaned up after themselves and the work was excellent. They also switched out some lights and they are perfect. They will definitely be coming back for more projects in the future. read more

Brian was timely, had reasonable rates, and got the job done. Will hire him again in the future!

Brian is prompt, fair, responsive and reliable. Very happy with the work that he performed on my house. Thanks again!

I had numerous household repairs and minor improvements to make that some other handyman services were not interested in as it wasn't one big job. Brian provided a timely, accurate, fair, and detailed estimate for the work to be completed. He arrived on-time each day and knocked everything out in about 3 days. Very conscientious in getting the work done. He cleaned-up the work areas so house looked as good before as after his arrival. Reviewed completed work with me directly prior to closing out the job and all the work was A+. Definitely recommend his services and plan to use him again in the near future. He's the go-to guy to take care of your "honey do" list! read more
