Preferred Home Repair Handyman

Carlton is great! He saved me a ton of money, by showing me that I was getting bad advice. He did a very complete check, under the floor in the bathroom, and from the basement, and showed me how strong my floor really was and did not need to be replaced. He took the time, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Wonderful customer service.

Carlton is as good as it gets. Always on time. Totally no-nonsense professional. Friendly and respectful. Knows EVERYTHING about fixing stuff. Fair prices. electrical, carpentry, plumbing, etc. He does it all. FIVE tool player. Make a long list of every little thing you've needed done for years and hire him for 2 hours for 130 bucks. You'll be very happy.

Very late last night I emailed Carleton to request an estimate on a kitchen cabinet modification. I provided photos of the cabinet to be modified. First thing this morning I had an email from him advising me that I should have a carpenter handle this job. I very much appreciated that Carleton was rapid with his reply and that he gave me an honest assessment of the work to be done. Thank you Carleton!!

Tried many times getting in touch with Carrolton, even left a voicemail! He doesn't have the decency to return phones calls. Terrible customer service.

Carlton is simply awesome! I had a variety of unrelated small projects and he came in and saved the day. He is pleasant, competent, expedient and reasonably priced for the level of services he provides. Will definitely use him again and refer him to others.

Carlton spent 2 hours in my home yesterday solving multiple small repair issues that I had been putting off for months. He is extremely pleasant and knowledgeable, works quickly, and is full of creative solutions. I especially appreciated how he explains what was wrong and how he approached the fix. I strongly recommend Preferred Home Repair to anyone who needs a reliable, polite, and competent handyman.

Id like to give this guy a fair shake but im a lil upset after I got this job done for far less time and money than he gave as a quote.

I have an interior door i called him about hanging. He asked the proper questions on what is needed for the job.
Its a simple chisle the the two hinges to fit the door, shim the bottom to hang thats it. I bought the door slab bored for the handle and striker and installed the handle. He told me 65$ an hour was his rate. Np n he only lives 2 miles away. I said cool when can u be here n he said at that point that he charges a 2 hour min.

So a Im guessing at this point he just didnt want to do the job or because of where i live he thought he could charge more.

So instead of hiring him for $130 I decided to look up how to chisle the hinges n hang the door myself on youtube for free. Hung the door my self in under 20 mins. Sooo glad I did.

So one star for him as he was the reason i decided to do it myself.

I read other reviews that said beware of the price raping and I'd have to say that weather that is a correct analogy or mot it was the feeling I got.

Side note I also installed my own disposal a while back with an upgraded one and with a dishwasher n it only took me 35 mins. Just saying.

So take it however you like, I just want my neighbors to to know youtube might be a great option or another handyman who does want to work no matter how small the job.
To you the handyman- you could have had $65 and a 5 star review, your loss.

As an interior designer, I've had the opportunity to hire Carlton to assist me on a number of projects. He's performed admirably every task I've asked him to do, and with true skill, friendliness and professionalism. I'm cautious with who I hire, as they act as the face of my company. I'm so happy with Carlton's work that I schedule my installations around his availability. All of my clients have been thrilled with his work as well. I'm proud to have him as a member of my team, and I recommend him without hesitation.

Carlton is practical, courteous, honest, is easy to work with, and most importantly does great work. He's the kind of guy you have back to do the rest of your work, without any reservations.
