I never know whether to trust rave reviews on Yelp, but in the case of Brian Ludlow, owner of…read moreLudlow'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.

I know it's like a joke getting contactors in but it's not terribly funny when it happens to you. The quality of the work was 5 stars. no ifs ands or buts. hole fixed, ceiling painted no fuss no muss no mess. It looks great. The office paperwork side was less so. it was a 2 maybe a 3. It was hard to get an estimate, e-mails sent were apparently missed, the office staff was disorganized- and I'm being polite. it was disorganized to the point I felt like they didn't want my business. and setting a date for the work was only marginally less stressful than Noah booking seats on the ark. When the workmen showed up, they had no work order, I got no receipt or anything at all, and they barely spoke English leading to a few misunderstandings. So the work was absolutely first rate but my God, it was a challenge getting it going.

To be honest, the only reason we went elsewhere was because we needed a good bit of painting done at the same time and was able to combine into one contractor. Luis was EXCEPTIONALLY responsive, and quick to offer to come out and take a look at the project. He explained everything and was quick to return a quote that was very fair and comparable to others received for the job. He was very easy to get in contact with and returned messages within an hour. He was friendly, kind, personable, and even made it a point to spend time with our pets before he left. Basically -- while I can't speak to the actual skill (although other reviews were happy with LBS's work), service and responsiveness was an A+, which for me matters a ton when hiring a contractor for work on my house.

I am a homeowner in Mont Clare, and I handled the drywall hanging myself. Jerry completed all of the taping, corner bead installation, coating, skimming, and sanding. The final result was amazing--perfectly smooth walls with a seamless, professional finish. Jerry's attention to detail and precision reflect his lifelong career and expertise in drywall. It's clear he specializes in drywall and takes great pride in his work. He was dependable, communicative, and respectful of my home and time. If you're in Mont Clare, Phoenixville, or anywhere in Montco and need expert drywall work, Jerry Wright is an excellent choice.

At 83 years old, Jerry and his team bring more experience, care, and work ethic than people half his age. They paid close attention to detail, and treated my home like it was their own. The drywall repairs are flawless, and the paint job looks amazing--fresh, clean, and expertly done. Not only is he a master at his craft, but he's also incredibly honest and fair. His pricing was more than reasonable, and I never once felt like he was trying to upsell or cut corners. It's rare these days to find someone who takes such pride in their work and operates with such integrity. If you're looking for someone who will do the job right, treat you with respect, and charge a fair price, look no further. I highly recommend him--you simply won't find better craftsmanship or a more genuine person or company.
