I was scared of finding a professional handyman. I think I found what we call in talent acquisition a "purple squirrel" in Michael. He was very pleasant and professional. He is local to the North Shore and runs his own business. We had a shower recaulked, the house babyproofed, and a few other small things. The quality of work is good and he kept everything clean. Michael guarantees his work as well which is unique. I think I found our new handyman. read more

Michael came out to give me an estimate for a new backsplash for my kitchen. He said I should expect it later the next day. A week later I called and said I never received an estimate. They apologized and said they would follow up. Another week has passed and I still have not received an estimate. I don't know why some contractors can't act professionally or at least adult like and just tell you they're not interested in your job. I guess I should feel fortunate that I didn't hire them. read more

Awful customer service and communication. Do not waste your time with this company! Had them come out a few months ago to review work needed to be done and provide a quote for the work. They came out and let me know when to expect this quote. I called them a week after that date asking about when I should expect it but was not given any information or details on what was going on. Asked if I could speak to someone on this and they said no but they will have them give me a call which never happened. I called twice more (once a week or so after that call and then one more recently which was a few months after they came out) and each time I was given the same bs from them with no follow up. I wouldn't even waste my time with a company that can not return a call at all. read more

We hired him for 3 jobs and regret doing so. One was reattaching a shower door hinge to the wall. He did, but a year later the repair failed. The second was to repair a faucet and sink pedestal. His painting and grout work was poor. The third task was a 3 way kitchen wall switch. He tried but couldn't fix it so he just left halfway through, leaving the switch hanging and project undone. Never returned phone calls, just walked away and ghosted us. Very unprofessional. read more

My review is for a very simple task - I needed a Ecobee installed and some very minor drywall repair around the area where the Ecobee goes on the wall (the hole from the prior unit was much larger and damaged). - Mike was friendly to deal with online when getting an estimate. - He arrived on time - He had his own tools - He was friendly / jumped right to work - He took his shoes off (i had brand new, week old carpet) - Once he saw how simple the task was he charged me the lower end of the estimate we'd discussed As a single mother who's not very handy I found him VERY trustworthy. He was much younger than i'd anticipated. I guess in my mind when i think "handyman" i think older, nearly-retired gentleman, and Mike's DEFINITELY not that. LOL. He's like probably not even thirty. But clearly he knows what he's doing and i'd use him again! read more

I found this cool shower head that changes color based on the water temperature on Amazon and instantly ordered it. After receiving my package and being super excited, I realized that I had absolutely NO idea how to install a new showerhead without breaking the current one (I currently rent so that would have been a terrible idea). I contacted Michael at Nailed It North Shore and he was able to come the same day. He was super friendly and was straight to the point. I gave him the new showerhead to replace and he didn't need anything else from me because he had all his own tools to do the work. When I was going to ask him if he wanted a bottle of water, he was already done! I can't believe how fast he finished replacing it. His price was also extremely reasonable. I'll definitely contact him again when I need any additional housework needed since I had such a pleasant experience. read more

Nailed It North Shore - a shower head with water running - Electricians Near Me

Michael is amazing! We needed some help with updating our home & with hanging of tv, curtain rods and other items. And does absolutely fantastic work. He's punctual, pleasant & cleans up after himself after the project is completed. He's local here in Northbrook. He's by appointment only. And I found him thru Yelp! Of 4 people contacted he was first to respond and was extremely flexible. He's very honest and upfront about how much your cost would be and if you might need something in addition he would have to do, he'll let you know the cost as well. He's friendly, hard working and is willing to offer his input if you ask for his professional opinion. He genuinely wants to make sure your happy so much so he left a mark on my wall and asked for my paint for a touch up. If you're looking for a local handyman this is your new guy. Be sure to tell him I sent you. He does fantastic work. read more

Michael did such a great job on a few different projects we had him do. He took out old toilets and installed new ones. He switched out an office light fixture. He also installed a new powder room vanity and sconces. He was on time, super polite, professional, and clean. Everything he did looks great. I will definitely be using him again for completing projects around the house in the future. read more

We had a great experience with Michael. He's very professional and does excellent work. He came to install two handrails for us and did a stellar job. We will definitely use him again when the opportunity presents itself. He also cleaned up after himself which I appreciate because we've been through plenty of less professional handymen. read more

I recently moved and needed a number of light fixtures fixed. A repairman named Michael was able to come in less than 48 hours when it was convenient for me and had it all done in a few hours. He also saw I needed a TV mounted while he was over and he knocked that out very quickly as well. Very polite and professional, I would definitely call again read more

100% will be hiring Micheal for any future projects I may have. I hired him to mount a 100 inch projector screen that will be used for movie and game nights in our family room, and a large mirror in my bedroom. He was finished installing both before I even finished making my lunch! Very friendly and professional, and he guarantees his work. Also takes electronic payment via Venmo which is a plus. read more

Had a small job I needed done at my house. Got several quotes through YELP, and while the price was right in the middle of my quotes, Nailed it Northshore was by far the most flexible. Michael came out that day to inspect, and he was at my house the next day completing the work. One repaired pipe later, I can say that I am satisfied. I wouldn't use them for any major renovation, but for odds and ends they are a perfect fit. read more

I messaged Michael at Nailed It Northshore late Sunday afternoon with a disaster. I had been changing out the mechanism in the master bathroom toilet but a seized bolt prevented me from finishing the job. With a mess in the bathroom and a toilet out of service, I needed help. Michael replied very quickly with an increasingly reasonable estimate for an emergency job (another quote I received was 10x as much). I booked Michael and we exchanged cell numbers. Michael arrived exactly when he said he would and kindly took his shoes off. He quickly got to work, trying a few different tools until the bolt was removed. He was friendly, well-equipped and fast, performing the job with no mess and kept to his estimate. Thank you, Michael! We look forward to throwing more work your way in the future!! read more

Michael from Nailed It has been to our house 3 times. The first visit went well, the second ok, and the third poorly. He was unable to complete the scheduled jobs during the third visit and left two electrics repairs unfinished. He cancelled his follow-on appointment with us on the day of service, leaving the repairs hanging, and now won't return calls or answer texts. A real shame and a poor showing. The jobs he did well were the repair of a leaky shower handle and mix valve, and a shower door hinge that was coming out of the wall. The fair job was the replacement of a faucet that required moving a pedestal sink. The sink was put back in a different position, loose and leaving discolored marks on the floor, and we had to ask him to caulk it. He did, but it's appearance suffered. The incomplete jobs are both electrical, a multi-way kitchen light switch (lights operated from different switches) and a ceiling fan wall switch. After a month of unanswered texts I hired an electrician who completed both jobs. For the basic plumbing and hardware jobs, his work is satisfactory and can be recommended. For electrical jobs or those that require more demanding aesthetics, I cannot recommend. They offer a one year guarantee, but that has little value if the person that gives it won't return calls. read more

Did an awesome job remodeling my washroom! It looked much better than I imaged. Great work, great price. Thanks Mike!

Just had excellent work done by Nailed It North Shore. One garage weatherstripping done and a smart thermostat installed and tested in around 2hrs time. Great work, reasonable price, polite and professional work. Even gave me some tips on further weather sealing elsewhere. Will use again! read more

Came promptly as scheduled. Wrapped up two separate jobs within an hour (repaired a leak in my whirlpool & reconnected water heater exhaust). Super professional and super quick and cost effective! read more

Michael is fantastic! He showed up on time, worked efficiently, performed excellent work, and went above and beyond to even help check and correct some additional items we had not previously discussed. Best of all, he guarantees all his work. We recently had moved into our home, and had a laundry list of items to correct, including several electrical and plumbing items. Instead of having to hire an electrician or plumber separately, Michael was able to handle it all in one visit - at a very reasonable price. I will be working with Nailed it North Shore for any and all of my future house repair needs. Thank you Michael! read more

Simply outstanding!! After several reschedules (all my doing), Michael came to my Moms house to fix the garage door. Said he would get to the house at 2pm and arrived at 1:58! FIxed the door to perfection as promised!! Definitely will use Michael for anything and everything! read more

Michael was excellent. Very happy with his work and his ability to fit me in on short notice. Highly recommend and will use again in future.

Michael did an excellent job mounting my TV! First off, he was on time! That rarely happens. He came prepared and asked all the right questions, which made me feel comfortable before he got started. I just moved into a new building. We ran into a bit of a hick, when we found out my building reps advised the wrong material was behind my wall. I was told Metal, and we found out it was Steel! Michael continued to work diligently and reassured he would get the job done. Per the referenced picture, that's exactly what he did. Very nice and personable guy, which makes the transaction easy. Oh, and let me not forget, he completed the service the same day I requested it... Amazing!! I highly recommend using him. Also, he guarantees his work, so don't forget to grab his card! read more

Nailed It North Shore - Thank you Michael for giving me the gift of watching tv again!!! - Electricians Near Me

I've used their services for a few things that I myself can not find the time to do. They are professional, efficient, and really know what they're doing! They accommodated my hard schedule and got the projects done quicker than was expected read more

I cannot sing my praises enough for "Nailed It" and Michael!!! My husband and I moved into our first home in the northwest suburbs, and we had quite a few things to install (a walk-in closet system, linen closet shelves, SO MANY curtain rods, etc.). Michael showed up promptly, brought his own equipment, and was extremely self-sufficient while we unpacked. He was incredibly nice, and I appreciated that he offered his professional opinion on things. He even had recommendations for other professionals that we might need (gutter cleaning/repair, etc). I consider myself handy, but sometimes it's just nice (or necessary) to call in the professionals - if you're in need of a handyman, look no further! I am keeping Michael on my phone's favorite list, as I'm positive we will be calling him again for more projects! read more

Very professional. I work long hours and can't always get to everything. Enter The Nailed It guy. Funny name and great service. He helped me frame my tv against a brickwall and pitch a few holes put in the walls by my movers. He'll definitely have my business as anything new pops up. read more

I coresponded with the owner about my project (simple handrail installation just like he did for one of the other reviewers). He answered a few questions and then simply stopped responding after 2 emails (without any explanation, such as "I'm too busy right now" or "I can't do your project for the following reason", etc.). Very unprofessional and a complete waste of time! read more

Michael was great! He was quick to respond and very affordable. He arrived on time and was courteous and pleasant. We had a plumbing issue and he took care of it efficiently. We will definitely contact him again. read more

Job of a PVC valve replacement was done quickly and professionally. I will definitely approach Michael in the future for any similar project. read more

I'm not a very good diy person and I feel much better when someone can help me out with a project which I regularly have in my old house. I am so happy I found Mike. He told me what time he was arriving and was on time. He came over to help me out with my laundry room floor. It was a glue down tile floor overtop concrete. He prepped the floor, was able to finish half of the job today along with installing a new utility sink. It already looks so much better. I was complaining about my door going out to the garage that kept opening on its own. It's been like that for months now and he was able to fix it! This made so happy. No more cold drafts coming in. I really appreciated his input about the water valve needing to get checked out from the village. No one had told me before it wasn't shutting off all the way. Honesty, reliability, and a good attitude are really important to me. Mike is awesome! I look forward to future projects with him. read more

On a Sunday night at 7pm, my mom had water gushing in her window well in her basement due to heavy rains and a flooded yard. We were in panic mode trying to figure out how to stop the water - Michael at Nailed It was recommended for me by a friend and I texted him right away. He was at my moms house within 10 minutes and figured out how to stop the flow of gushing water, in the pouring rain. He was professional and knowledgeable and even had a water pump in his bag of tricks. I would recommend him very highly and am so grateful for helping us out in a dire situation. We will definitely hire him again. read more

We were left in a jam by another company that did not show up. We needed a chandelier hung before our dinner party on Saturday night so we contacted Michael that morning. He came immediately, did outstanding work, and charged a very fair price! We will use him again for sure!! read more

Excellent service! Had to get my TV and Sound bar mounted and it was a wonderful experience. Micheal was very professional.

Great service! Quick, and very reasonable quote, was in and out quickly, and did a great job with installing a new chandelier and mirror. Will be using them again for sure! read more

Michael does great work and is very responsive and prompt. We had him install new smartlocks, light fixtures and a toilet and are very pleased with his work and professionalism. We will definitely use him again for future projects. read more

I reached out to Michael at Nailed It as he came highly recommended by several sources. He tool several days to get back to me, but explained he works alone...Okay. That seemed reasonable. He made an appointment with me to show up and give me an estimate. He selected the day and time. The appointment time he quoted was "late morning afternoon" When I asked for clarification on that, I received no response. By 2:00pm on the day he was scheduled to come, he still had not shown up, nor had he texted to say when or if he was actually coming. When I sent a follow up text asking for a timeframe, or if he was still coming, I received no response. Needless to say its the next day...I'm still waiting for a response as to when, if ever, he plans to come. I'm not sure how someone does business this way. It takes mere moments to let a client know you have to reschedule. Clearly my time is far less important to him than his time. read more

I can't say enough great things about Michael from Nailed It! I had a punch list a mile long of broken things and he fixed them all. Everything from installing ceiling fans, to fixing electrical outlets, a broken kitchen cabinet, sticky doors, outdoor security lights, and on and on. His estimate was very reasonable and he completed the work in a timely and professional fashion. If you need a handyman for all those odd jobs that have been bugging you for months (or years!) look no further than Nailed It North Shore. read more

We hired Nailed It to mount a TV in our apartment because the studs were too far apart for a regular mount. He was easy to work with, quickly found a time to come by and did a great job! The TV looks great and I'm confident that it's secure! read more

I hired Michael at Nailed it North Shore to mount my TV in addition to helping me with some electrical work. I wanted newer, more updated light switches, so he was able to change the lights and replace the electrical switches. He was efficient and professional. Very pleased. Thank you! read more

Michael came to my home to give me an estimate on some handyman tasks and it's now over a month later and I never heard back. I tried to follow up and nothing. If you don't want the work at least communicate that. Disappointing. read more
