Alex put up many towel racks, 2 toilet paper holders, 4 large mirrors and new hinges on my cabinets after a bathroom remodel. He made sure to put it where I had asked him to. Alex did a great job!!! He stayed until everything was done and the pricing was great!

My company hired Midlands Handyman to install slat wall display panels in a Lexington business. We could not have been more pleased. Mr. Killman was a pleasure to work with, from the initial conversation I could tell he cares about his work. Should we need services such as that again, Midlands Handyman is who we will call.

I had a great experience working with Alex. He repaired the drywall in my ceiling after a leak and also created an access panel in the primary bathroom for plumbing work. He was patient, responsive, and accommodating throughout the process as I coordinated multiple plumbing visits and repairs. I appreciated his professionalism and willingness to work with me throughout, and I would highly recommend him!
