Explore matthewjenkinshandyman.com for more information. My business was founded in July 2018 after serving four and a half years at IKEA. I decided to establish my own handyman services company. I've consistently been crafty; the first time I realized this at twelve years old when my parent removed the dashboard of our 1985 Toyota Camry and it remained that way for an extended period until I dedicated a day to fix it without a manual. I've been passionate about carpentry and have built my own items for my living space, and now I’m expanding to create custom pieces for clients. I focus on customizing wardrobes using the IKEA PAX system, but I can set up all kinds of items.
Previously, I worked as a team leader at IKEA for over four years in retail. I've assembled a wide range of items in that store, and I can provide advice if there are issues, and I can assist with your purchase, and handle the difficulties of their 1-888 number and shipping problems.
My focus is on tailored closet setups. I handle drywall, and you won’t need to dismantle baseboards, and I can add crown molding for a professional finish.
For furniture assembly, I take care of a range of handyman services, especially woodworking projects. I consider myself an social person. I’m confident in my skills, but I don’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 providing those capabilities to you. Also, having roots on the East Coast, so I have connections to experts for specialized jobs.

Recommended Customer Reviews
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!
Alyssa R.If someone could earn 10 stars, Matt would be my first 10 star review. I was referred to Matt after spending time in Ikea designing my closet and I couldn't have gotten luckier.
He came and measured, help tackle some mistakes I had made with my first design and even went with us to Ikea to make changes and help us place the order. We decided to do two closets (one of which is a bedroom turned into a closet).
Matt managed the entire process, including some unfortunate mistakes out of his control with Ikea. He (and his partner, Josh) were amazing throughout the entire install and even came back to help make some quick edits after I started to fill the closet.
He has an eye for space and the ability for him to make custom solutions is invaluable. Sometimes dealing with prefab cabinets like Ikea, you need the ability to have some custom designs and Matt created me the perfect cabinet to fill in a gap.
I'll be back to update pictures as Matt is coming back soon to add trim to the top of the wardrobes and do a few finishing touches.
I highly recommend. Don't think twice.
Walid D.Best Handyman I've ever come across!
Matthew did an amazing job for my liquor cabinets for my liquor store! He even went above and beyond and created custom shelves so we can use every single inch of space!
I hired him again and he created another customer door for the register area. He installed it and the functionality was great!
I called him for the THIRD time and he built and installed a PAX cabinet for a space I had so I can use the ""dead space"" for more product like chips!
Over all, this guy is super talented!
Thank you Matt for all the times you helped me at the liquor store!
I'll for sure hire you AGAIN for any future jobs!
You rock!

Matt was fantastic he showed up on time and did an excellent job putting together a complicated desk and wooden litter box which would have taken me hours to put together he did in a few hours. He's great at putting furniture together. Even help me carry down the boxes to the dumpster set the furniture came in. Very professional and polite. I highly recommend him.
Special K.Just call this guy.
Matt came out to fix all of my kitchen drawers (try 18 full-sized drawers) after a painfully bad install by someone else a few years back. The work from the previous installer was out of warranty, so I had no recourse. I took a chance on Matt and am glad that I did. He spent the day in my kitchen making magic happen for the drawers (and getting along with my dogs, too). I know closets are his fav thing to do, but I couldn't tell because my kitchen drawers are functioning like never before. He's coming out again to fix another set of 9 drawers and installing new hardware as well. Matt calls it how he sees it. I highly recommend him! Thank you, Matt, for the excellent, prompt and courteous communication. You do stellar work at a fair price.
