I’m an interior designer and Martin was a huge help of mine for a recent install. I had a custom headboard with an unnecessarily complicated French cleat system pre mounted to the bed and none of them matched up with a stud. We had to remount the French cleats and modify each of them to mount to a stud. The install was giving me some anxiety, but Martin was perfectly relaxed and clearly not a stranger to getting creative to find a solution. I appreciated his attitude so much and his being willing to hear my thoughts and feedback as well. I would absolutely use him again and I would also recommend him highly to my own family and clients who need handyman help around the house. Thank you again Martin-so thankful to have found you.

Had stairs repaired, hole in floor repaired, window frame secured, and a box built to cover my bathroom exhaust fan which was exposed in the attic. Exceptional communication, follow through, expertise and quality of work! Martin was very passionate, professional and skillful. Appreciate his positive approach to figure things out. Love all the repairs. Appreciate the education he provided to help me understand the work done and how best to handle future work I will need. Price was very fair.

Good Evening Nancy!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share a review and a photo from your most recent project at your home in the Muskego/Franklin area.
I truly appreciate the opportunity to keep coming back for each new punch list of projects and picking up right where we left off. From paver repairs, to building a garden fence, to taking on that never-ending battle with the birds, it’s always a pleasure to help you and your husband with the next project on the list.
I’m grateful for your continued trust and support, and I look forward to providing the great service you’ve come to know and love.
Thank you again from all of us at ElmBrook Handyman!
He did a good job with the project, however called me less than an hour before he was expected to be at my home to ask for measurements of the board he was replacing because he was at the supply store. I wasn’t home to measure so once he got to my home, he had to make an hour round trip to go get the correct board because he didn’t have what was needed. I was charged extra for the trip charge for this. I also wasn’t aware of the 20% surcharge on material until I was invoiced.

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your experience with us. Feedback like yours is invaluable, and we are truly grateful for your honesty — especially when a project brings unexpected challenges.
At ElmBrook Handyman, we hold ourselves to a high standard on every job we take on, whether it's a small repair or a complex one. We want to be transparent about what made your exterior repair so unusual. The boards currently installed on your home are no longer manufactured, and we were unable to source a match at any lumber supplier. That created a genuine challenge, because there was simply no off-the-shelf replacement available.
Even after taking careful measurements ahead of time, we could not find a board that matched perfectly. To deliver a solid, lasting result, our team made adjustments on-site and added extra depth to the new board so it would fit and perform correctly. This is the kind of problem-solving we pride ourselves on — finding a workable, quality solution when the easy option doesn't exist.
We also want to speak openly about cost. We understand that not every repair is inexpensive, and situations like discontinued materials can add to that. You raised a fair point, and we take it to heart. While our material upcharge is outlined in our terms and conditions, your feedback has shown us we can do better at explaining these costs upfront, before work begins. We are committing to clearer, earlier communication on material pricing so no future client is caught off guard. Thank you for helping us improve.
Through it all, our goal remains the same: to bring professionalism, skill, and genuine care to every job we do. We stand behind our work, and we are grateful for the trust you placed in us to tackle a repair that was anything but ordinary.
Please don't hesitate to reach out whenever a need arises. It would be our privilege to serve you again and to show you the quality and dedication ElmBrook Handyman is built on.
Thank you again for your grace and your feedback.
Martin was timely and friendly. Explained everything so I understood what the repair entailed. The repair was quick and things work great now.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review, Megan!
We're thrilled to hear that Martin provided a great experience at your Brookfield home. We appreciate your kind words about his friendliness, punctuality, and communication throughout the project.
We're especially glad that the repairs were clearly explained and that the solution worked well for your storm door. Rather than replacing the frame, Martin was able to make adjustments to address issues related to the previous storm door closer installation and improve the operation of the existing door. Finding practical, long-term solutions while helping clients understand their options is something the ElmBrook Handyman team takes great pride in.
Thank you for trusting ElmBrook Handyman with your home. We truly appreciate the opportunity to help with your project and are grateful for your support.

Excellent responsiveness and professionalism. Quality work and cared about my input or concerns. Final cost was true to estimate. Really value the convenient booking tool. I'll add photos eventually, because the fence material needs to dry out and can't be stained until next year.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review — and especially for doing so just a few days after Martin completed the work! That truly means a lot to our team, and it tells us you had a great experience from start to finish.
We're really glad Martin was able to get that door frame and jamb back in shape for you. We know accidents happen at home, especially with younger family members around, and a damaged door frame isn't something you want to leave unaddressed for long. Martin went in focused on doing the job right — assessing the damage carefully, working efficiently, and keeping you informed every step of the way — and we're thrilled to hear that his approach made a real difference.
Martin genuinely cares about the quality of his work and the experience each client has. Knowing that his organization, communication, and craftsmanship stood out to you reinforces exactly why we take so much pride in the work we do here in Elm Grove. We'll absolutely pass your kind words along to him — he'll be glad to hear it.
At ElmBrook Handyman, our goal is simple: to be the team Elm Grove homeowners can count on when something needs to get done right. We're grateful for your trust, and we're grateful for neighbors like you who take a moment to share their experience.
Should anything else come up around the house, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would be honored to assist you again.
Thank you - The ElmBrook Handyman Team!

Martin was a great find for us. He was able to replace a ceiling fan and a stove hood range confidently and within the time frame expected.

We're thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with the ElmBrook Handyman team at your Milwaukee home. It was our pleasure to help with your ceiling fan replacement, over-the-range vent installation, and bathroom caulking project.
We're especially glad to hear that Martin's communication, professionalism, and friendly approach stood out throughout the project. After troubleshooting the existing ceiling fan, he was able to provide an honest recommendation and install a new fan to ensure a reliable long-term solution. He also completed the vent installation, walked you through proper maintenance and cleaning of the vent screen, and made sure everything was tested and functioning properly before wrapping up the job. Providing clear communication, quality workmanship, honest recommendations, and a great client experience are all things we take great pride in at ElmBrook Handyman.
