An Overview of Our Services

November 11th, 2014

“What is it that you do exactly?” I get this question on a daily basis, probably because I don’t look like a handyman and there aren’t many women in this industry. The best answer I can come up with is usually along the lines of, “A little bit of everything, really.” We focus on a […]

I’ve been asked time and time again, “Why this particular business? Why did you start a handy-man business?” And the answer is quite simple – I came up with the idea of starting a handy-person service about five years ago when I became a homeowner myself. I found it difficult to find a reliable, honest […]

Check Out What Others Are Saying About Us

We had a host of household tasks: plastering, replacing a laminate countertop, replacing door hardware and switch plates, hanging a medicine cabinet, and much much more. The Checklist guys were on time, super competent, really nice and thoughtful — and careful! — and met our tight deadline. Moreover, the office was responsive and efficient. I couldn’t recommend Checklist more highly!

I was highly impressed with every aspect of my dealings with Checklist Handyman Services. Christina was so responsive and professional in all our communications and made scheduling my appointment super easy. Leif was prompt and worked diligently for two days completing all my projects. He replaced a kitchen faucet, bathroom light, bathroom floor, dimmers, doorknobs, a ceiling fan, etc. This company has extremely high standards which almost don’t exist anymore. I recommend them 100%.

I really loved working with Checklist! I have used them twice, both times to paint rooms in my apartment. Leif (the lead painter) and the rest of the team were punctual and did a beautiful job completing the work. Each job took several days and they made sure to leave the apartment very clean each time. They also completed some minor repair work to the walls before painting. In addition, working with Christina to set up the job and find a date that worked for my family could not have been easier. She was very responsive! Highly recommend these folks.

We are so glad that we hired Checklist Home Services. All the staff is professional and the handymen take pride in their work. Steve and Leif are courteous, detail oriented, neat, clean, arrived on time and worked hard all day. Each request made was as important to them as it was to us. They exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this company!

I love this company and have used them three times. They do a thorough walk-through / estimate ahead of time, which answers lots of questions for you, and then arrive on time to do the work and do a great job. There’s a four-hour minimum, and they are happy for you to fill that time up beyond your main tasks with all the little annoying things around the house that you could probably do yourself but never do, like paint touch-ups. Also, it’s a woman-owned company that seems to promote people of color to senior positions, which gives them extra points in my book.

— Joanne on Yelp
It was a professional, fast and courteous experience. I really appreciated the detailed email exchange with the customer service manager. No surprises or shadiness here and very patient.

— Vinny N. from Yelp
Checklist was a way better value than hiring a contractor for an isolated job. They’re able to workaround roadblocks and constraints with quirky old apartments nimbly and handily. They sincerely care about getting a job done right, and well.
