What neighbors say

  • Don and his sons were key to implementing a project in three rooms of our home. They patched and painted walls, installed wall shelving, and more. They did a great job and were extremely reliable.

    Rebecca

  • We had a wonderful experience working with Don and his sons. They approached their work with great attention to detail. We were amazed by the range of projects they were capable of handling. After they completed painting a few rooms, we immediately asked them about a number of other projects and repairs that they later completed with the same great quality. I also appreciated his willingness to work with our schedule. Don is honest, courteous and responsive, just a great person to work with!

    Xiaoying

  • Loved working with Don and his son! I had a broken dishwasher, and I thought I would have to spend almost $1k to replace it. But Don & son saved the day! They were fast, efficient, and price was very reasonable. I'd recommend them to anyone who is in need of repairs.

    Yena

  • Don was very courteous and got the job done quick. Kudos to him and his sons

  • Don and his sons helped to fix a couple of issues of my house. They are reasonable, prompt and reliable.

    Liqiong

  • Don and his son checked off everything we had on our to-do list in the time he said it would take. We had a ton of odd jobs and no time…thank you for the great work, Don!

    Willis

  • Don and his sons worked extremely hard to make sure everything was just right!

    Ilyssa

  • Punctual and immaculate. I would have made a mess of my walls with holes and scuffs, trying to do the same thing he did. I know he's a professional, but I'm still stunned with the perfection of his work. I've already got a pile of other things in mind for next time!

    CJ

  • Don was a very easy person to work with and did a great job. He brought his son to help—they are both lovely people—and they worked efficiently at the various projects I needed help with and cleaned up afterwards. I definitely recommend him.

    Gabriel

  • Don and his son were on time every time they came, they worked hard and were able to complete projects the same day they came. I'm excited about having someone to call when I need a project done! We already set up dates for additional projects!

  • Don is no ordinary handyman. He can do electric, plumbing, paint, cleaning (old Chicago windows), and almost any household repair and beyond. We are fortunate to have found him.

From cruise ships to your home.

 
 

For 15 years, I worked maintenance for Princess Cruise Lines. I repaired everything from the toilets in the guest rooms to the chandeliers in the ballrooms. I learned the importance of fast, friendly service and I loved to meet new people every week. After many years away from my family, I decided to start my own business where I still love fixing things and meeting new people.

Today it's a family business. My sons Eldon and Windon work alongside me, so many jobs get done faster and bigger projects can be finished in a single visit.

I live in the Hyde Park neighborhood with my wife and three children. Please give me a call. Don, your friendly neighborhood handyman.
