I have used Rittenhouse Handyman probably 4-5 times now, and I've had a great experience every time. They're extremely responsive by email and quick to send estimates, and Nick and the team are always on time (or early) and do great work. I've used them for a variety of projects, and been pleased with the results every time. They're flexible, proactive, and able to handle a wide variety of work. Honestly, it's been a huge relief to find them and they're now one of my go-to contacts. Highly recommend.

Finding service people is getting increasingly difficult. Small jobs? Almost impossible! My job was so small, I thought no one would take it on. The Rittenhouse Handyman responded same day, made the fix next day, and sent me an invoice I could pay through a merchant portal (another plus, as most smaller shops don't have that option.) I plan to save their contact info for future projects on my 2nd home.

Get your to-do list ready. I've hired these guys three times and each time they show up promptly and do anything I need done during the time I've hired them: hang a chandelier (including patching and painting ceiling); hang 7 large paintings in awkward spaces; install a bunch of hooks; install baby gates; install a NEST doorbell; assemble an outdoor shed; hang a mirror; put up shelves; install anti-tips. I'm sure there's more but I can't remember. They do great work and will trouble shoot to get the job done.

They came on time. They mounted my new TV. When my old mount for my old TV didn't work, they went to the store to get the new one. They also installed my new microwave, replaced a light, fixed my screen door, and fixed a indoor door that wouldn't stay shut. They did a great job and were very nice. Service:TV mounting

Highly recommend this place! I have had a couple of different projects done the last year and every time the experience has been great from start to finish. From how easy and QUICK it's been to set up and confirm an appointment to getting an accurate and competitive cost and time to complete estimate. Nick is respectful, competent, and unlike other contractors always on time and very efficient in his work!
