What customers said about general repairs
I called to get some reinforcement for my living room floors. The fix was straight forward and relatively inexpensive. The job was done clean, professionally, and quickly.
Great staff to work with, installation for our projects were fantastic. Everyone was courteous and friendly..
Sean and his team had good communication. They installed a new mailbox and garage side entry door. They did a good job and when presented with minor issues I had pointed out, they corrected it immediately. Prices were reasonable and the job was completed in 1-2 days.
The two gentlemen were polite and did an excellent job on the work that needed to be done.
Eric was extremely proficient in his work. Would recommend him doing all my jobs . Great job.
Eric Low came out, arrived early. Installed new storm door plunger which required realigning the door and the latch. Also hung an extremely heavy wood-framed mirror. Once again I couldn’t be happier with the service by Eric and responsiveness of Fux It Buddy.
