My husband and I have worked with a lot of Handymen in our 7 years here, but Andy Martin of AAA Handyman Services is the best (425-681-6543).
Andy is professional and highly skilled. He can build small-scale wood projects (like wine cabinets, bookcases, and cornices), he hangs blinds and drapes, he can do small electrical and plumbing fixes and installations -- he fixes just about any problem around the house. The only thing he doesn't do is paint.
We have been incredibly impressed with Andy since before we even knew him. He was recommended to us by a family who had a lot of cabinet-style work done. In one area, they had some major drywall detailing and woodwork done. It looks built-in and Andy did the whole thing. They also had some cabinets in their kitchen removed. He took one of the old cabinets and turned it into a wine shelf for them. It also looks built-in--like it was a part of the house from the beginning.
For us, he has done innumerable projects, including removing the ventilation system from under our stovetop, hanging ceiling-to-floor drapes, patching both drywall and wood framing, and shaved the bottom of a door that was dragging.
To top it all off, Andy's rates are better than others that we've seen. At $60 an hour, he comes in under what we've paid in the past -- and he shows up when he says he's going to and does high-quality work. He takes pride in what he does.
