We got a new door installed. The work was quick with no flaws. They even fixed some water damage in our basement since we had the extra time. Dan is great!

Dan remodeled our kitchen, asking recessed lighting and did some drywall repair work for us. Chicago handyman also reframed our house to install windows that are much bigger. Attention to detail was impressive an they handled everything like professionals. I'll definitely use again

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Chicago Handyman came out and repainted a wall in my West Loop condo and mounted a coat rack. The technicians were fast, efficient, and friendly. Very high quality of work for an extremely reasonable price. I would chose them again for any job big or small. Services:Painting, Drywall repair, Paint indoors, General repairs

We had Joe come out recently to fix a few things around our house: a leaky faucet, a misaligned door that would no longer lock normally and an exterior door with a rotten threshold and frame. We couldn't have been happier with the service provided; the company was responsive, Joe arrived on-time, his work was excellent and his attitude outstanding. We'll definitely use again for future projects, I would highly recommend for anyone in need of a handyman.

I'm so excited I found this company. I had dealt with someone else previously and didn't have the best experience. I just moved here and knew I would need to find someone who could help with projects I couldn't figure out myself. Welp I found them! They were great! On time, fair pricing and were able to help me get my closet installed.

They were super organized and able to figure out the problems that I had with metal studs. I will never use another company. If you're on the edge and not sure, trust me when I say hire them! I will not use anyone else. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I've hired a few handyman company's over the years but the best by far is Chicago Handyman! Dan is so easy to work with, has great ideas, great communication, fair pricing, and is always on time. If you have the chance to hire him I suggest you capitalize on it, you will not be disappointed!

Dan and his team were great. Responsive, quality work, good pricing, and was flexible as is needed in any contracted work when things don't go to plan after that wall is open. No BS, solid guy.

Dan took my call on a Saturday afternoon after I was involved in a death match with a ceiling fan. He worked around my schedule and had Leo out that Tuesday who completed the job in no time flat. I will call first before even starting myself next time! Highly recommend!

Chicago Handyman was professional and timely. They took their time and explained things so that I could understand. Dan was my "guy" and he was polite and informative. My job ended up requiring more work than the original opinion/estimate entailed and they called and talked that through with me. Very Happy with their service and will use them again in the future!

Dan insulated and installed drywall in our garage. The work was fantastic. He was able to conceal a bunch of ugly pipes. Yuck! Thanks Dan. We will work with you again.

This review is long overdue but worth the 5 star rating. I met Dan last year when one of my tenants moved out with no notice. He came into unit that needed a full gut demo on the kitchen and was unfazed by the mess that these tenants had left. He and his team were so professional and super helpful every step of the way, especially since I live on the East Coast. Dan kept me updated on the status of the projects, working to meet my deadlines for showing and leasing the unit.

He has a network of workers with lots of experience in the trades. He was able to get all the window screens replaced, which I was having an impossible time hiring someone to do. His work was so good, I asked him back to redo the 2nd floor kitchen & bath, paint, redo hardwood floors, install ceiling fans, and create a custom barn door for the master walk-in closet. Ready for him to bring his team and refresh the 1st floor duplex unit now!

Called Dan for a few fixes in my new condo (broken drain, garbage disposal and faucet). He accurately estimated the cost, got to me within a few days of my initial estimate and was very nice. I will definitely be using Dan again for future needs.

A bit overdue review. We've had Dan in for our second project now, first one involving tearing down a wall to create a walk through, and the second for a shower leak through the kitchen ceiling. He has been extremely fast to respond, and he is on time! I've dealt with contractors in the past who don't even show up for an estimate! In response to a previous poster about one of Dan's sub contractors not showing up; that did happen to me too, and we were not happy about it. However, what deserves a 5 star is the way business was handled. $# happens in life that's beyond our control.

How we handle $# is what defines us. Dan came in himself to finish all the repairs. He stayed till 8, sometimes 9pm, and came in on saturday and Sunday. Thanks Dan for all your effort, especially around the new born!

Dan installed a new Waste King kitchen disposal unit, purchased through Amazon. He notified through text before arrival which was very helpful. Unfortunately, the unit that I purchased did not have the same hook up as the unit to be replaced (needed an outlet). Dan explained everything very clearly and offered a quick solution. When I gave the go-ahead, he promptly purchased the necessary parts at a local hardware store and installed the disposal unit with new outlet in under 30 minutes. Overall, very impressed by his friendliness, honesty, and resourcefulness - not to mention a professional job. I would definitely recommend his services.

Fast, reliable, funny, and a job well done! Thx Dan! Called for help with something basic recommended by a friend and ended up getting help fixing a couple other things, hanging a light, some drywall, and creative solutions that eluded me but solved the problem and looked great. Reasonably priced too!

Biggest Fan!. of Handy Man Dan with his Van. Drywall, Carpentry, Glassblocks, tiles, and general remodeling ok my partners and I needed some help with that, but electrical and plumbing OMG what a God send (I refuse to touch that stuff). He's very innovative in creating solutions, he's also amazing with other things like art, deco and sowing things (if u can believe it), AND he builds PRO-Grade Websites AND knows about search optimization that has gotten more than a few businesses off the ground AND flourishing!.

Very well-rounded and funny too! Highly recommend his services, with very reasonable pricing:) I've got a few more things lined up for him presently as a matter o' fact! -Mark "Vibrance"

Dan came by to help with my hardwood floor when no one else would. He offered suggestions and help in a way a regular guy like me could understand. He turned a project I thought was hopeless into something manageable and affordable. His demeanor was super friendly, and he was very responsive in communication. I'll be sure to contact him again should a need arise. Thanks, Dan!

Dan is a great handyman and was able to figure out the camera situation I had half installed and complete the job. He worked with the appropriate tools and hid the cables as I requested. I would have him back for the next job in a heartbeat. Thanks Dan!

These guys are the greatest! Not only do they require the skills to get your job done correctly the first time, but as artists, they can offer so much more. They have customized my shower to look like an underwater fantasy land - you really should ask how they can help make your project look truly unique and professionally done.

Dan Shirley was awesome. He followed through on coming right over when I had a leak under the sink and something wrong with the dishwasher. Fixed all of that and even the front door on the way out. Awesome guy!
