Explore Matthew Jenkins Handyman online for additional insights. My business was founded in the summer of 2018 after spending 4.5 years at IKEA. I took the step to start my own handyman services venture. I've always been crafty; I recognized my talent at twelve when my dad took apart the dashboard of our Camry from 1985 and it sat that way for 90 days until I took a day to put it back together without a manual. I've loved carpentry and have constructed my own items for my house, and now I’m beginning to craft tailored items for clients. I specialize in installing storage solutions using the IKEA PAX system, but I can assemble all kinds of items.
Previously, I was employed as a manager at IKEA for over four years in retail. I’ve built a wide range of items in that store, and I can offer suggestions if you need assistance, and I can help navigate your request, and handle the difficulties of their customer support line and delivery issues.
I specialize in bespoke wardrobe installations. I can work with plaster walls, and you don’t have to dismantle baseboards, and I can incorporate decorative trim for a seamless appearance.
When it comes to furniture setup, I take care of general handyman work, especially tasks involving wood. I consider myself an outgoing enthusiast. I’m confident in my skills, but I won’t take on jobs I’m not prepared for or experiment with new skills. That’s what my home is for on new tasks before offering those skills to you. Also, being from the East Coast, so I can refer you to others who can help.

Recommended Customer Reviews
I ask for one thing when communicating with another business, be professional and respectful. That was not the case here. Maybe we don't agree on a price, maybe the job is not a good fit, but being professional should be the foundation. Did not have a good experience and that's my honest opinion
Eric H.If you want anything Ikea - for your closet or elsewhere - Matthew is your guy. He helped me plan out what I was looking to do, picked up the materials from Ikea and built all of it. He's a former manager at Ikea and knows their products inside and out. He showed up when he said he was going to, did what he said he was going to and charged what he said he was going to. I wish that everyone I worked with was so easy to deal with. I'm already thinking about ways that I could use him again.
Oriana C.Matthew was very prompt, quick and installed everything on time. He was very professional and took the time to give us options for our projects. Most definitely recommend and for sure will be using again!
Hired Matthew after we reached out to him for a simple quote to install 2 mini-blinds. I'm not handy at all drilling holes, I tend to just do it all wrong. And drilling 4 holes can sound simple, try doing it well so that you don't have to drill more holes and set it unbalanced. I'd rather leave to skilled experts. I like that his quote was straight forward and based on the time it would take, it was a good reasonable quote. So I decided to hire him to come over. Nothing like having a person that knows what he is doing, but ""really knowing"" what he is doing. Big plus about him: He had a nice website, with pictures, and his pricing clearly stated. That's good because it told me that he's prepared and wants to do honest business. Wife and I already appreciated having some time to talk to Matthew and him telling us about his experience with IKEA. From the examples and reviews, we knew that this would be a good person to reach out to. Work was done as expected, area cleaned up after the work was done, and he came fully prepared with all the tools he needed. His number is now handy for me to have when I'll need him for future work done. I like that he was honest, straight-forward, professional, experienced, and just a nice guy to talk to. Give him a chance, give him a call, request a quote, and you won't go wrong with him. Oh, and he was punctual on the dot.
Kelley C.Matthew set up a gazebo for us on our back patio. He was reasonable in price, fast to reply, showed up on time and set us up fast. We are MORE than happy with his work and will recommend him to everyone plus use him again in the future.
Matthew just completed a small job for me, installing 2 blinds in my kid's bedroom. Great experience. On time. Cleaned up after himself. Very polite. Very reasonable costs. Took the proper COVID safety precautions. I have a few more minor home repairs that I need done and Matthew has been very helpful giving us some referrals.
I needed a 12' x 14' pergola that I purchased at Costco assembled, and am thrilled with the job Matthew and his crew did. Excellent from start to finish- he was incredibly responsive to inquiries about his services and prices, and he came out to discuss and bid the job promptly. Scheduling was a breeze, the price was extremely competitive/fair, they were completely dependable, and the finished product is excellent. Matthew cleaned up nicely when the job was done and kept in great communication throughout. Also, I appreciated that he was highly conscientious about maintaining social distance and safety measures during the job (mid-pandemic). I am thrilled and would highly recommend. I'll be using his services again for future projects!
My wife and I just moved into our new home and we needed help with our new patio set. We had family coming into town and I needed the furniture assembled quickly. The company I bought it from said it would be another 2 weeks. I contacted Matthew through Yelp. We scheduled an appointment and even checked with me the night before to confirm. Showed up, did a great job. Let me know my dog dug a hole in yard. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime. Looking forward to having his assistance on future jobs. Total professional and nice guy.
We needed a small storage shed (6ft x 4ft x 7ft) assembled and secured to concrete. My wife found Matthew recommended in a Facebook mom's group. We sent him the assembly instructions from the manufacturer and he gave us an hourly rate & estimated hours. He finished faster than his estimate, which is always appreciated.
Matthew was responsive & cordial in setting up appointment, and showed up on time the day of the work. We have two young children who were very interested in his work, and he was patient and kind in his interactions with them. Payment was easy (I opted for Venmo), and he cleaned up his work space.
We're certainly keeping Matthew's contact information for future jobs. Exactly what you want in a handyman.
Amanda B.We are so happy that we were referred to Matthew to do our home closet installation. We had a quote from California closets and thought we would at least talk to Matthew to see the quality and price of his work. BEST DECISION EVER! Well priced, great guidance and by far the most professional handyman/contractor we have done business with. He is also passionate about his work, thorough and delivers according to the actual timeline!
