VERY satisfied. I was helping some clients of mine get ready to list their home and there was a TON of work. Drywall patching, plumbing repairs, painting, electrical and more. I reached out to North Seattle Handyman and they had me scheduled in a week with a solid crew. Getting the bids and estimates sent over were really easy and they were awesome in finding a way to stay in my budget. When the day of came I got a phone call explaining some concerns that they had about the job and they offered multiple solutions. They were a little bit more expensive than some of the other companies I reached out to, but they differentiated themselves with their professionalism, prompt communication, and incredible quality of service. I'll definitely be hiring them again. read more

Despite my initial enthusiasm for the service, I encountered several issues that diminished my satisfaction. Like many other Handy-person companies have begun doing in the last five years or so, they impose a minimum time limit to ensure a minimum service fee. I required several basic repairs around my residence, which necessitated the use of a ladder, screws, and a screw anchor. One repair was time-sensitive, and the company initially offered immediate repairs but suggested returning a few weeks later due to them being booked up. This approach was reasonable and appreciated. However, after further communication with the company, I discovered for the time sensitive repair, they required a $250 deposit prior to any work starting, and would charge their minimum two-hour fee of $300. The job involved simply reattaching one side of an outdoor sun shade, resulting in an estimated total of $820.85 for all of the repairs. As a homeowner I've had several estimates and repairs completed by Handy-person services over the last few decades, but this one has to be the most unreasonable. In contrast, I contacted another Handy-person service company today that arrived at my residence within 30 minutes of my initial contact.They provided an on-site estimate and completed all the necessary repairs in a single hour. The total cost was $110.50, which included tax. This experience met my expectations. The service was reasonably priced, and the handyman was professional and skilled. I now have established a go-to handyman who I can build a lengthy business relationship, year after year. It is unacceptable to ask customers to pay for labor before the work is completed. Materials may be charged, but labor should not be. So glad I found this new Handyman service company. I will definitely be leaving a positive review for them. read more

This is a followup to my initial review and to the response provided by Pete of North Seattle Handyman. The problem is: Pete Ellison is a complete liar and cheat. Do not deal with him. He has no integrity whatsoever. I am a senior citizen, who he decided to take advantage of. On the second invoice I was charged $600 for exterior house painting. He only completed half of it. read more

Our washing machine sits on an uneven floor and likes to go walkabout during the spin cycle. I'd it wasn't leashed by its hoses it would have eloped by now. The imbalance also leads to aborted spin cycles and wet loads. I'd seen on YouTube handy people fixing the problem but I don't have the time or even the basic skills to do that. Fortunately, these guys do! Took maybe four hours. They built a sturdy level platform for the washer and dryer and now we have dry laundry and a washing machine that sits still. Will totally use these guys again. read more

Prompt, professional, creative problem solving. I've worked with North Seattle Handyman three times now, at both office and home. We've worked with Pete, Dan and Cassidy and they've all been great. Even came out today to do an additional job that I'd requested through the website because they were nearby and finished another job early. Can't say enough good things! Work done: regrouting and caulking kitchen countertop and bathtub, installing wall lamps which required some creative problem solving, and various small jobs around office. read more

They got back to me very quickly. Seemed knowledgeable and fair. I look forward to using them in the future

Dan and Pete were so amazing to work with regarding replacing our house's unsafe attic ladder. We initially purchased a replacement ladder thinking we could DIY the install but quickly realized we were in over our heads. We called around to a few places for help and most declined the job because it turns out that installing an attic ladder is hard. Not only did North Seattle handyman provide a competitive quote, they did an amazing job installing the ladder. If we ever need additional help with house projects we'll definitely be reaching out. I'd also recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone. read more

They finally sent me a refund after the yelp review. I still would not recommend working with them. It was weeks of trying to book an appointment then weeks of trying to get a refund after I gave up on booking an appointment. read more

We choose North Seattle Handyman to do our bathroom remodel last Spring and we couldn't be more happy with their craftsmanship. Before the remodel we had problems with the drain from our tub stopping up on a regular basis and also problems with dry rot in the floor around the shower. Caleb and his crew did a fantastic job of repairing and replacing the sub-floor before they installed new deluxe vinyl flooring. They took care of every problem including some we weren't aware of. They always brought our attention to those problems and repaired them perfectly. They were great. The plumbing was expertly done as well as the shower tile, the flooring, drywall work and painting. And it was all top quality. They are professional in every way. When one has lived with the results of a remodel as we have for nearly a year you really become familiar with all the details in the work that was done. And I still am very impressed, and happy with the very high quality work they did. We will definitely go to them again for our other remodel work. read more

Pete and Dan installed a beautiful new screen door on our home. While doing so they made little fixes here and there on our doorway to make it more beautiful and functional. Throughout our experience of getting a quote, scheduling the job, and the actual install, everyone we spoke with at North Seattle Handyman was thoughtful, responsive, and diligent. We will definitely be repeat customers! read more

Caleb and his team from North Seattle Handyman did a great job on my mid size kitchen remodel. I used their easy google form to get estimates, and they are very responsive on emails. I sent them pictures of stuff that I wanted to do, and detailed notes. I can see why they do this way because when they are at home, they are super focussed and do a really great job. Their pricing was fair too. They did everything from demo, installing new floors, new cabinets, toilet, vanity, appliances, backsplash and everything they are able to do. They cleaned up everyday after their work. They followed all covid guidelines too. I really appreciate their work, and would recommend them to anyone, and would definitely hire them again. read more

Recently our back porch had problems with dry rot and a sagging part of the roof area; plus it needed a new gutter and down spout. We hired North Seattle Handyman to do the work. We were so pleased with the results! They sent Alan who arrived on time, was very friendly and pleasant to deal with. Also he used no bad language and had no loud music playing. He worked hard all day repairing the porch to an excellent condition! He put up the new gutter and down spout just perfectly. Our porch will now last many years! North Seattle Handyman are very reputable and nice to do business with. Everyone is pleasant and helpful from the administrative staff to the workers. They are also very reasonably priced. It is hard these days to find a business that guarantees their work and is trustworthy. North Seattle Handyman is exactly that business! read more

Prompt and reasonable service! He had knowledge on several issues. Will call on him again!

We had our cabinet above the refrigerator pull off the wall after 10 years with nothing done to it at the time to cause the failure. Dan came out and gave us two options; fix the current one with inside bracing and better support or, for more than the quoted price, take it down and rebuild the whole thing. We opted for the less expensive option and he did an excellent job. Couldn't be happier with his work, his pleasant demeanor and explanations. The only reason I'm giving it a four stars instead of five is that the company charged us for materials PLUS a 25% markup. We felt the markup was a bit steep. It wasn't a lot of money but just the principle of the thing. Of course we would expect to pay for materials, but not 25% more. Bottom line though is that, if you need a handyman, these guys are great...at least Dan was and we WILL use them again. Be also advised that they charge 3% extra if you pay by credit card, which is something a lot of companies are doing. No big deal but nice to know. read more

Caleb and Gunnar were amazing to work with. We did an entire bathroom remodel and every step of the way they answered questions, made sure we had the information to make informed decisions and when we had a paint issue (I picked the wrong color) Caleb offered great advice. Every thing they did (new flooring, tile, paint, toilet, vanity, mirror, lighting, shelves...they did with our desires in mind, asking questions to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. Their clean up was done several times over the course of 10 days and when they left...my bathroom leaves me breathless. read more

Just today had a very large mirror hung, a TV wall mounted and a faux mantel installed. I really can't say enough about Dan who did all the work. He is a GEM. Very knowledgeable and cares about the work he does. We are very happy to have found him and have a few more projects in mind for him. So happy!!!!!!! read more

Caleb also provided tips on a side project I had going on and even let me borrow his oscillating saw. All around great guy and would definitely welcome him back to my home for other projects. read more

This was my third project with North Seattle Handyman. They built me adjustable shelving so I could organize my garage. I sent a basic design, they suggested materials (for my approval) and then they build the shelving structures onsite. I am so happy with the results (which came in at less than the original estimate). Would definitely hire these dependable, hardworking folks again. read more

I filled out a lengthy online application to hire NSHM. This company was recommended by a neighbor whose work they completed in May 2022. I received a response that I do not live in their work area. I wrote back that I was recommended by a neighbor and perhaps my job was too small. They responded that my job was NOT too small, but sometimes they make exceptions. They would have been better off not responding. read more

I highly recommend North Seattle Handyman. We needed a gas cooktop installed but it was a bit complicated due to access to the gas shutoff and the gas line being behind the cabinets. The guy who came (I forget his name) was prompt, super friendly, thorough, explained everything, and went above and beyond to make sure it was installed correctly and aesthetically. The estimate process was easy, response time was fast, appt scheduling was simple, the price was very reasonable, and the work was top notch. read more

We have been very satisfied with their service and note their professionalism, ease of working with them, competency, transparency, honesty, friendliness and quality of their work.

I will definitely continue to hire them for all my home projects. read more

This is my second review in the last year, because I can't gush enough about the whole North Seattle Handyman team. They just completed a small bathroom remodel for us and we are so so happy. Gunner and Levi did an amazing job with the tile work and Dan (who we've worked with before) always does a spectacular job communicating, executing, and hammering out every last tiny detail with expert precision. Don't hesitate to reach out for a project - they are seriously top-notch. read more

Very impressed with NSH. Dan came to the house, was clean, polite, and really detail focused. He did a great job with my various projects including fixing a bunch of walls (patching and painting), hanging some framed art, and installing two POE security cameras. Further, Dan had no problems wearing a mask, was fully boosted (including the bivalent), and took covid precautions seriously. Would happily use NSH again. read more

I've used Caleb for several jobs around my house, the largest of which was redoing baseboards, doorframes, and framing three windows. He did an outstanding job each time. His rates are competitive and he has great customer service. If you're looking for jobs around your house or need ideas do NOT hesitate to give him a call. His craftsmanship is top notch and he is very dependable. I've hired him time and again and will continue to do so with other projects. read more

Our small kitchen remodel was the second project we had North Seattle Handyman do in our home. The kitchen space is in the oldest part of the house which began its life in the 1920s as a Summer getaway cabin for Seattle residents. So we had to do a complete remodel down to the walls including removing the old drafty windows and installing a new one. It was a difficult remodel because, as carpenters did in the day; (although they had plenty of wood and used it profusely), they didn't construct anything on the square. That's what NSH had to work with and they did a splendid job removing the old cabinets and shelves, hanging and texturing new drywall, installing the new cabinets, putting in a new floor, tiling the walls between the wall cabinets and counter, installing and venting the range hood to the outside, the plumbing, painting, insulation and because I was a licensed electrical contractor at one time, they accommodated me to do the electrical. And they worked with me on that part of the project. And in the end we have a beautiful new kitchen thanks to Caleb and his crew. Caleb's communication was excellent. They are friendly, courteous and great to work with. They are accommodating and they will not hesitate to make changes if something isn't quite right. They arrived on time when they said they would. And Caleb would call me before hand if there was a problem with arriving on time or other problems arose. We are very pleased with the great job they did and we will definitely have them back to do more remodel work that we plan to do. Also they are very reasonable in price given the area. read more

We had an assortment of tasks that needed to be done on an older house including a major fence repair. Pete did the walkthrough and did an excellent job of listening to what we needed and offering ideas to improve the situation. The scheduling for the work was prompt and efficient. James and Isaiah came and were efficient and hardworking. The work was very skillfully done, and looked great at the end. They didn't leave a trace that they had been there except for the work itself. They were conscientious and courteous. James and Isaiah have a great way of working with the customer (us).  To a degree, it was like having knowledgeable family members helping out.  They used their heads to propose solutions to problems that arose or that they observed.  For example, they noticed that a couple of boards of our deck staircase were rotted. After asking our permission, they went ahead and replaced them with modifications that meant that the new boards wouldn't suffer the same fate. We'll be more than happy to hire them again. read more

Legit operation, although electronics heavy communication could be inefficient. Will use them again

I'm stoked that I was referred to James from North Seattle Handyman for assistance with a few tasks around my new home. He tackled each task with expertise and ease, including installing a wired Nest doorbell in a particularly awkward location and tightening a hard-to-access kitchen faucet nut. James also helped me understand the process so I can handle similar tasks in the future. If you're seeking a knowledgeable and no-nonsense handyman at a fair price, I highly recommend James. read more

Thank you so much North Seattle Handyman!! They were on time, fast, and professional! Loving my new tv :) Will definitely use again.

They repaired some engineered wood cabinets, repainted them and they look great. They were good communicator, they gave a fair and accurate estimate of the price of the work. Allan, the handyman who did the work, was kind and explained what was happening during the work. Will definitely use them again. read more

I had North Seattle Handyman replace an existing stand alone shower stall. They did a great job! They arrived on time and completed when they said they would. Caleb and his assistant (sorry I didn't get his name) were friendly and didn't seem to mind when I poked my head in to see how it was coming along. They cleaned up any mess they made and took the old shower stall with them. I would hire them again. read more
