Jessie came out to give us an estimate on installing a bidet, fixing plumbing turn offs and checking old electrical wires. His estimate was very reasonable and he was able to stay and do the work right away. We were very pleased with his work and all around knowledge. Everything was done within an hour! Yay!! We will definitely be using this service again.

I had a great experience with Kevin at Milwaukee Handyman. My husband and I recently moved to the area and our new house had an awkward narrow & deep closet in the dining room. I had a vision of having a built in china cabinet in that space, and even though I couldn’t really find an inspiration photo of what I wanted, Kevin totally made it happen. He was extremely flexible to our schedule, showed up when he said he would, and worked efficiently to create the custom built in of our dreams! I could not be more pleased with the service of Milwaukee Handyman, and especially Kevin’s craftsmanship on our custom project.

Sadly, I need to update this review. While Milwaukee Handyman did a decent job of refurbishing my carport in April, their follow-through on some unfinished work has been poor. The repair person originally verbally agreed to address the bird nesting issue after the repairs were made. While this wasn't in the written bid, which I should have noticed, it was discussed numerous times but not taken care of when the initial work was complete. The birds returned and they said that it could not be addressed until they were done nesting so we waited until fall. I have emailed the office many, many times about this issue since that time and received assurances though email, calls, and text that it would be handled but still no one has come out to fix the problem. I would not recommend this company.

Had a very good experience with Aaron doing outside caulking around the foundation of my home. Very professional & really paid attention to detail. Would hire again

One of their drivers almost hit me with their car because they were driving without their lights on and blew a stop sign. If they’re as good at doing odd jobs as they are at driving I wouldn’t hire them

I want to give them 0 stars. Called and set up a time for a quote for a number of projects I wanted done around a house I was buying. Guy came out and was on time dressed professionally and was very nice. (Anthony I believe his name was) promised a quote end of the day or tomorrow) this was a Wednesday. On Monday and still no quote so I called their office. Nice lady answered and said I'll make sure he follows up with you today for sure. NOTHING. Tried calling Wednesday Thursday and now Friday. Left messages each time. No one will answer or call me back. Was happy to hire them if their quote was half decent. No one wants to make money. No one answers the phone. Would not recommend in any way shape or form. If they're this bad to start then how poorly will they treat my house and the projects?

We recently moved into our first home and Milwaukee Handyman, especially Jesse, has helped us so much with all those little nuances of new homeownership that have popped up. Scheduling an appointment has been incredibly easy and I always enjoy chatting with the coordinator, everyone at the office is so friendly! Jesse is also so friendly & patient, extremely knowledgeable, and beyond helpful with all our questions. He even paid a second visit back to help visually explain a concept to me that I had no idea how to address. I hadn't been sure if the problem was even something he could help us resolve, but he happily came back to check it out, provide input, and helped us from getting the right materials down to full installation! Love Milwaukee Handyman and will continue to keep them on speed dial as our go-to home experts! :)

John and his crew do great work. I have had them do carpentry, minor plumbing and electrical. They are always on time and do great work at a fair price.
