DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN. It took a long time for me to post anything and I debated for a while but to think he can do this to someone else, I had to say something. Months after his work, we are still paying the consequences. He's very sloppy, unorganized, and careless. The tile work he did in our bathroom-- we'll eventually have to get it all re-done in the future since it's crooked. Thank god we have a shower curtain to hide it, but it's an eyesore. He also upgraded our electrical panel and he did a shotty job replacing the weatherhead on the roof that we now have spend money to fix. He never finished his projects and went MIA on us. Thank god we never paid him the full amount, but I feel what we did pay for was not worth it. He'll lure you in with great deals but you definitely get what you pay for. Please be careful. read more

We had Scotty come out on a Saturday at 8PM. We had an issue regarding our door lock closing, and he was able to fix it fairly quickly!

This is the first time I have ever called a handyman to have some work done, and it was completed the very same day! He did a great job, replacing some tracks in some bathroom drawers. They work like brand new silver dollars now. Very nice man who did a great job. I will be calling him again soon to do some other work. read more

Our pressure washer has a crack in it. Scotty came out the same day, checked it all out and determined that we didn't really need to repair it, just manage it a little differently. No charge! He was here for almost an hour. He really embraces his motto of "Humanity Still Does Exist" read more

Scotty was very pleasant to work with. I had four ceiling installed and he did an excellent job. Thank you again and I highly recommend him

Scotty came to help with hanging 25-40lb mirrors, replacing the thermostat on our wine fridge, reseal some loose grout from tile, and securely hanging a enormous painting in our living room located on a high alcove. He arrived 10 minutes early, made sure the work properly and to his standards. The quote he gave was very reasonable for the various items needing done. I have no hesitation to get his help in the future! read more

We had a shower/tub door replaced. Scott came out and was very friendly and knowledgable. He quoted us a good price. He has great communication through phone calls. He is extremely polite. I've never been called Ma'am so many times in my life ;-). The work was done well and quickly. I will definitely be calling him back form my next project. read more

Scotty, thank you for your craftsmanship and professionalism. Anybody looking for an handyman who cares about their work, cares about the community he serves, and does amazing work, then do not hesitate to call Scotty. You will be glad you did. Appreciate the work Scotty! read more

Because I was raised if you dont have something good to say, keep it to yourself, I take reviews very repsonsibly. I RELIED on reviews to hire a handyman for a project (with many projects in the horrizon right now). Scotty talked well on phone, had no reason to not trust. I got report for a repair plan, however, found he never even went to the property. Never showed up. Sent me phony update. This is confirmed twice with tenants with camera that proves never been there. These are the facts. I wont give further "opinion" just that I will only share a negative opinion if its a safety matter or consumer awareness matter. Im a property manager, licensed real estate broker and this matter is of moral obligation to report this experience. Live by faith and I was stopped from moving any further with this service. Once trust is lost, how can you get it back after outright fabribating report? Due to privacy of screenshot messages, I will not post photos of Scotty's report and updates and the tenants response to it. I do not intend to cause personal embarrassment. But public relies on websites like YELP to find honest vendors. So do I. read more

Scottie installed a pantry and blinds for us. He was punctual, and went above what we had agreed upon in order for the job to be more than exceptional. Will definitely be using his services and will not hesitate to refer him to friends and family. Thx Scotty! read more

I would highly recommend Scotty. He was punctual, professional, honest, and competent. He installed a new fence post for me that was destroyed. He was able to do the job the very next day. Here are the before and after pictures. Will definitely use him for future work. read more

Fair pricing, professional follow-up/contact, knowledgeable. Today I needed a kitchen faucet and a showerhead installed. After getting an astronomical estimate from a plumbing business that had come for another issue, I decided to contact Riverside Handyman Services. Scotty called me back promptly and gave a reasonable quote. He came later the same day to complete the work, returning my calls to coordinate arrival time, etc. I will definitely rehire Riverside Handyman Services for future needs. Thankfully the business offers a broad spectrum of services! read more

Hired him to re-grout bathrooms and replace faucets. Unfortunately, the results were not great, I understood he mentioned the tile was not flat in some areas but I shouldn't have to point out the defects I still see in order to give me the response. He replaced the faucet and was leaking, I told him and came back to fix it, but he left and was still leaking. Send a message to phone and Yelp and never responded. Had to hire someone else to fix the leak, plus left haze and grout all over and had to spend money to clean the grout and haze left all over. read more

When you need a person with integrity and amazing work ethics, Scotty is the one. I called him on a late Saturday afternoon to fix some doors that would not lock properly in a condo that I had put up for sale. He swung by my place within half an hour and fixed the doors right away. He is unbelievably efficient and someone you can count on in a jam - which is hard to find these days. I recommend him 1000 percent. read more

I had a list of little projects that needed to be done and Scottie was able to complete them within a few days of my call. He installed a new stop gap and hose for the dishwasher, installed a towel rack and TP holder, changed out 2 faucets outside, tightened 2 bathroom faucets, replaced the insides of the toilets, and tried to fix the rails/rollers on 2 closet doors, but they were too far gone, so was not able to do it. He was very professional, polite, on time, and didn't try to upsell me. His prices were very reasonable! I would definitely recommend him for any home repair! read more

At the beginning of the heat spell in July, the wall air conditioner went out in my rental house. Scotty came early afternoon Friday (same day of call) to give me an estimate and said he could do the install that evening. (Very considerate of the renter!) We did not have the new unit on site, so he said he could do it next day. However, he soon communicated a conflict and said he could do it early Sunday. He had to cut the old unit out, install the new one and patch the wall. It was done quickly and efficiently. We were very appreciative that he was able to do it on a Sunday to get the renter some relief. Scotty was very knowledgeable and punctual, even arriving early to get organized. His price was very reasonable and we would not hesitate to call on him again. Would highly recommend! read more

Scotty is knowledgeable, courteous and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend him. He replaced 10 door knobs and is coming back to do additional work. read more

I don't know what happened with Scotty (The Riverside Handyman Services guy). We had an appointment at 1pm to modify a cabinet and by the time I went to open the property gate, just before 1pm - anticipating his arrival, he had left a message on my mobile phone (at 12:54pm) that he could not enter the property and left. Did not wait or anything. I called and texted him with no response from him. I cannot believe that someone who wanted to do the job wouldn't wait at least a few minutes past the agreed job time. I did not hear the mobile phone when it rang because I was preparing the work area for him. Not sure what the issue is here but seems to me that he had another more pressing preferred job or other task to do and really did not want my job; or some other substance or beverage had a more enticing appeal. read more

I needed a bedroom door hung and called Scotty. I had already bought the door and apparently got one that was hollow and couldnt be shaved down enough to the correct size. Scotty tried but the door frame was too "off" to fit the door. At this point the door was cut to the point it was ugly and unusable. Scotty went and bought another door that was more appropriate for the job...(at his own expense). He hung the door and it works beautifully. He has great prices too. I will use him again for future jobs. Maria read more

Scotty did a great job fixing a few things around the house. He diagnosed the problems and found solutions that saved money. I was expecting to have to replace a ceiling fan and possibly replace a sliding door. He took the time to find fixes for both. He was on time and professional throughout. read more

Scotty was responsive and there the same day! He created an attic access in a closet space. The work was done professionally and quickly. His prices were very reasonable. Scotty was a true professional cleaning up after himself even all the way down our steps, because he had been up and down the staircase. he framed textured and painted the space so that it blended in seamlessly. You cannot go wrong with riverside handyman services! Scotty is a true gentleman and a real professional! His knowledge and skill are top notch! read more
