Fast service, professional experience at a reasonable price! Chris reinstalled my bathroom sink drain and did an amazing job - he didn't cut any corners and took his time to do the job right. I'd highly recommend his services for not just plumbing but for any home work! read more

I've had Chris work on all sorts of projects at my house over the years, and I've always found him to be professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He takes the time to research the issue, clearly explains the problem and the best solution, and approaches every job with great care and attention to detail. His work is meticulous, and I appreciate that he always aims to be very thorough in the work his does. He will also suggest some tips and tricks for things around the house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. read more

Update: I've been working with Chris since at least 2020 and he has helped me update and modernize almost everything in my house. I'm so grateful to know a handyman I can trust! He is meticulous in his prep (and his cleanup) and he has a wealth of knowledge. Most recently he replaced the cabinets in my kitchen (no small feat, as it was a very custom job) and advised me on upgrading the appliances, which he also installed. I am so thrilled and pleased with the quality of his work. He is a true craftsman. He has truly fixed everything, from filling/painting the walls after I had all my windows replaced, to renovating and painting my patio, to reconfiguring multiple closets, replacing my smoke detectors with modern 10-year models, fixed toilets, hung curtain rods, assembling a new bed frame...basically anything I've ever asked him to do. I know I can always rely on him to make repairs look brand-new, and to make it perfect. read more

I've already posted a review for Chris, but I want to share something that I believe will be beneficial to those considering Chris as your handyman. I had a situation a couple of days ago that caused me to feel extremely unsafe in my home. I needed to have 2 new deadbolt locks replaced immediately. I called Chris, and explained what was going on. He told me to take pictures of the deadbolts and that he would go to Home Depot to purchase new locks and be at my house asap. A few minutes later Chris called and said he would be there shortly, and that I may not need new locks, because he remembered he has a key kit that might allow him to recalibrate my locks. Within minutes of Chris's arrival, he recalibrated my front door! He then did the same for another door. He then proceeded to check the remaining locks that didn't need to be replaced, but he wanted to make sure they were functioning properly and that I would be ok. I immediately felt save in my home and it was because Chris went over and above to help me. I was frazzled when he arrived, but after he recalibrated the first lock, my anxiety was gone. I'm so grateful I found Chris who not only provides a quality product no matter what the job, but is also someone who truly cares about his customers well being. He proved that to me. read more

Chris has done work for me on two occasions. He is very versatile and can improvise solutions for tricky projects. One example: I had some fiberglass valances that needed to be hung above 3 windows. These were home-made (by me) and I had two other handymen tell me they didn't know what hardware could be used for support. Chris glued them securely to standard curtain rods. They look great, not home-made! He also installed a mailbox by my front door and a lazy susan in a sink cabinet. All work was done meticulously and swiftly. I was more than pleased. read more

Meticulous, responsible, professional handyman We used Penn Handy for several projects and are completely satisfied and impressed with their service. The web site makes it easy to communicate your project so that it is clear what to expect. Chris arrived promptly and was very careful and diligent throughout. read more

My laundry room has a sun tunnel that is connected to a dome in the roof and the sun tunnel funnels the light to the laundry room which makes it well lit with natural light. There was a problem recently and the room went dark. Chris came in and fixed in in one hour. He reconnected the tunnel to the dome, re-fitted the dome to make it snug, then cleaned and resealed the tunnel. Chris came on time, was very professional and thorough during the work, and cleaned everything afterwards. He even emailed me the photos he took during the work so I can save for potential future use. His price is reasonable also. I appreciate his high quality of work and highly recommend him! read more

A fantastic professional. As the president of the HOA for my building, it was my responsibility to find the most capable person possible to diagnose and repair our security system infrastructure problems.

Thank you so much. read more

I am a property manager and have worked with my fair share of handymen and contractors in the past. Let me say that Chris is one of the most punctual, professional and skilled handyman I've work with. We had a loose bracket for mounting the garage rails which was temporarily fixed by another company. I had Chris take a second look and he was able to verify the issue and provided us with peace of mind that the fix was solid. His rates are very reasonable and transparent. There were no hidden charges of any kind. His was highly responsive in his texts, emails and phone calls. I will undoubtedly call him again in the future for any repair needs. read more

Chris is a rare and awesome find in the home improvement profession. I am a realtor and deal with lots of workmen. Chris has been the most prompt, efficient, and cheerful one I have met. I highly recommend using his services. His quotes are very fair andcif he can't do a job, he's honest about it. Yesterday I had a seller emergency. My seller was trying to strap a hot water heater properly and getting frustrated and was in tears. I called Chris, who said he could come out at 3. He did a great job. The water heater is strapped properly and best of all, my seller stopped crying and was happy with his work. I will definitely be calling PennHandy for my next small job. Thanks, Chris! read more

Highly recommend for home projects that are specific and don't require a large team. They come well-prepared to work. read more

We had a wall bed moved into our home, assembly was not completed. We reached out to Penn Handy, very easy to get a quote and book online. Arrived right on time and very professional. COVID compliant, wearing a mask which is much appreciated. The wall bed had been in storage, some pieces were missing. Very conscientious, wanted to make sure everything was done correctly. It turned out brackets that held the top piece was missing and screws were used to secure the parts. We appreciate the diligence in figuring out workarounds for missing parts. The actual time to finish the job was about 15 minutes less than estimated. We are very happy with the finished job and will use Penn Handy for future jobs.

I had Chris repair a fence gate for me - he did a great job he is very efficient and it probably would have taken me 8 hours to do the project he did in 2 hours for me - plus I didn't have a good way to haul the lumber so I was very glad to have him do that - I definitely plan to use him for more projects in the future read more

We've been having door issues the last several weeks. First my bathroom door started getting stuck once the weather warmed up. Several days later my front door get completely stuck shut! Contacted Chris from Penn Handy on Sunday Morning and originally we were scheduled in for the follow Friday. I explained to Chris how urgent this repair was as everyone was having trouble entering and exiting the house. I was extremely grateful he squeezed me in that following Tuesday even offering to come afterhours if need be. Chris was quick, efficient, resourceful (in a great way), and skill level for the job was above and beyond. With all the safety concerns now-a-days with Covid-19, Chris went above and beyond to keep not only himself sanitary before and after entering my home but also kept the job clean and cleaned up very well after. Communication 10/10 Customer service 10/10 Quality of work 10/10 Very affordable service. You get what you pay for and you get every cent out of Chris. Highly recommended read more

Chris is hands down the best handyman we've ever had. First, he's totally responsive for all communication.
