Check out Matthew Jenkins Handyman online for additional insights. My business started in mid-2018 after serving four and a half years at IKEA. I chose to create my own handyman and assembly company. I've long been crafty; the first time I realized this at age 12 when my dad disassembled the dashboard of our 1985 Toyota Camry and it remained that way for three months until I took a day to reassemble without a manual. I've been passionate about carpentry and have constructed my own items for my living space, and now I’m starting to build custom pieces for customers. I excel at retrofitting closets using the IKEA PAX system, but I can install various types of items.
Before this, I served as a supervisor at IKEA for four-plus years in retail. I’ve built a wide range of items in that store, and I can give recommendations if something isn’t quite right, and I can help navigate your order, and navigate the frustrations of their customer support line and shipping problems.
I specialize in bespoke wardrobe installations. I am experienced with plaster walls, and you don’t have to remove baseboards, and I can install decorative trim for a built-in look.
When it comes to furniture setup, I manage various handyman tasks, especially tasks involving wood. I consider myself an extroverted person. I have faith in my expertise, but I don’t take on tasks I can’t handle or learn on the job. That’s what my home is for on different projects before offering those services to you. Furthermore, I’m from the East Coast, so I have connections to experts for specialized jobs.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Matthew installed Ikea closet doors for us and did an amazing job. Already recommending him to friends and family based on his communication, fair pricing, and attention to detail. It was not a straight-forward install as we have an older home where no two walls are level and he handled it like a pro. We will definitely be calling him for future projects.

Matthew was fantastic to work with. He competed a challenging TV mounting above our fireplace with no visible wiring.
Matthew communicated clearly in advance of the installation regarding what would be needed on our end. He visited the site a day ahead of time to make measurements and plan for what supplies were needed. He quoted us a fair price range ahead of time, and stayed within this range in final billing despite the project taking longer than expected (~8 hours).
Regarding the day of the installation, he showed up on time. The quality of his work was the highest level. He spent extra time to minimize wall damage. In fact, there are no visible spots of drywall damage, except for one patch behind the TV itself. The wires had to navigate two 90 degree turns, but this too was managed without wall damage. It was very clear that there would have been a faster way to complete the project that would have caused wall damage, but Matthew holds himself to a higher standard, and the results speak for themselves.
To top it off, Matthew is very nice, patient, and hardworking.
I would give him 6 stars if that was allowed!

We are so glad we reached out to Matthew Jenkins for our closet project! Communication was a breeze and he showed up on time for our scheduled project. We work from home so we got to chat with him about other projects as well. He's very knowledgeable and had great recommendations for us. We were very pleased with the installation of our Elfa closet system! Matthew did a great job and we saved some money not going with the container store installers.

Needed some hinges and drawer glides fixed or replaced. Matthew was quick to respond to my request and came out to take a look. Charged me $150 and said he needed to order the supplies for the repair, and would get back to us. That was 2 weeks before Christmas. We followed up with him via email, text, phone calls. No response. My husband finally got him on the phone two weeks ago and he said he would contact him back by the end of the week. It is now February. Again, no response. UNRELIABLE!

Matt is extremely thorough in his work and I would recommend him to anyone who needs closets built. He's willing to do more than most to get the project done right and leave his customers happy with the end result.

Highly recommend Matthew Jenkins. He assembled two pieces of furniture and did an excellent job. We exchanged emails and texts prior to the job. He responded to all in timely manner and was very clear and communicated well. I would definitely use him again in the future.

Matt was awesome! He brought my record cabinet to life and worked with Westworld Cabinets to create a design that worked for my collection and even allowed some room to grow. This work transformed my dining room from a mess of boxes to a presentable and functional display piece. Beyond impressed with the completed work and professionalism throughout the installation. Recommend you call Matt for any project big or small! This work was a little outside his usual closet organizer type contracts but a great example of the range of Matt's capabilities.

No-showed on my job. I wanted the rails for my kitchen drawers replaced. Matthew responded fairly quickly, we exchanged emails back and forth getting the estimate and so on set (I had no problem with him charging me for 1 day plus parts, said so in the email). Date was set for Apr 4 at 8am and he didn't show up. No communications from him at all. I called twice, got voice mail. Sent an email and 2 texts, none of which was responded to.

Matt has done several closets and cabinets in our garage. He even secured a very heavy piece of art to the walls. He is a joy to work with. He is honest, professional, does what he says and is good at communicating. We love working with him.

Matt is awesome! He is everything most handymen are not; he's prompt, courteous, clean and detail-oriented. Matt actually got me a quote on material & installation..... when he said he would!!! I know, jaw-dropping in this day & age. Matt helped me get my nightmare of a closet completely organized and utilized every inch of it, taking into consideration how I use my closet & customized it to meet my needs. Matt not on executes projects but also brings design ideas to the table. I'm looking forward to using him to install & organize shelving in my garage and custom build me an entertainment center. Thanks Matt!
