So thankful for the professionalism and knowledge the Thrifty Nickel Handyman team provided in updating our kitchen plumbing and electrical to install new appliances. They responded quickly and put together a plan to work around a very tight delivery timeline and all of the last minute adjustments needed to make things go right. The quality of work, peace of mind that everything is done correctly and confidence in our team all came at a reasonable price. Refreshing to deal with a company that cares about their customers' satisfaction, not just how much they can charge. You don't always get what you pay for, especially with the companies that have to pay for all that marketing. You'll get so much more when you call the Thrifty Nickel Handyman family, I know they'll always be our first call. Thank you Joe, Jeff, Victor and Nancy for all you do! Larry, Melisa and Kyra

Absolutely excellent experience. Had siding repairs/patching to be done as our deck contractors "do not do siding". Called Thrifty Nickel up, and they were out to look the next day, had a perfect match to the siding the day following, and a couple days later were in and out under three hours, and the patching looks absolutely amazing. Will definitely contact for future projects.

Thrifty Nickel Handyman has gone above and beyond with every project we've thrown their way, from a ceiling fan install where there wasn't one previously, adding trim under our new counter tops, replacing a side access garage door to even responding to random texts I send their way for help! You can't go wrong with these guys!

We used Thrifty Nickel Handyman for a quick and easy interior door that need to be fully replaced. They had Jeff come over and he did a great job. They were extremely fast with their communication and really easy to work with. Jeff was also very friendly, and very knowledgable when it came to his work. Would highly recommend them and will use them again in the future for work.

I used Thrifty Nickel Handyman to complete a bathroom. For the project they were reasonably priced over competitors. They provided an in home estimate. To complete the renovations they partnered with different contractors; a carpenter; dry wall specialists, and a tile man. I am very pleased with the tile work. Never had any grout issues as other customers have complained about. However after finding small carpentry issues that should have been fixed prior to installing drywall and the cabinets I did not call them to return to complete the second half of my renovation project. At least one small issue was two electrical boxes that should have been moved one inch over or pointed out to me prior to installing the drywall. I need another carpenter to come out and fix the issue. The shower frame they built should have met the adjacent wall length instead they built the frame too long decreasing the walkway space between the cabinets and shower door space. A carpenter should have noticed this issue as we had discussed the shower dimensions prior to the shower pan frame being framed out and built. The tile man is most professional and personable. His work laying the tile and cutting custom pieces for the shower were perfect. They were accommodating although they had different ideas they designed the shower to my ideas. They were most accommodating finding and supplying materials. They brought a tile grout sample board which was great. Final painting should be completed after all cabinets and countertops are installed not prior to cabinets and countertops are installed. - There was a difference of opinion as to when the walls should be painted so a few coats of contract paint are on the wall. Upon the quartz counter installation the tile specialist found small issues regarding the way the cabinets were installed. I did not call this company back to return due to small issues; I found two other contractors to complete the project. There were several times Nancy was impatient and had a need to rush through projects just to have the project completed. I would recommend them for tile work. On another hand, I would suggest watching the contractors when completing carpentry work. There were days when one contractor was to show and he had to leave or left without cleaning up his work space. Also, there was not enough communication regarding what contractor would show up the next day. The lack of the carpenter not cleaning up after himself was a real pet peeve. The outlets a real issue even though minor. Again due to small issues not mentioned in addition to the electrical boxes is the reason I did not have this company return to complete the project and a future project.

Promised and delivered on everything. Totally remodeled my tiny bathroom that I needed help to get into and out of the bath to a shower I can enjoy. Plus I have a new tall toilet, reinforced floors a 36 door wide enough to get thru with my walker, plus a new floor. Jeff and Isaiah are the best. And I didn't have to move out for a week like others told me I had to do. Thank you so much for a job well done
