Based on the reviews I picked the Handy Brit and was very satisfied with the work done. I had a wood floor installed and had them put the trim in that room as well. They installed the floor. Looks great. They painted the trim and installed it and then touched up the paint after. They put some caulking by the closet door on the floor to seal it. I was a little nervous at first but once they started I could tell it was going well. I would definitely use them again.

I have used The Handy Brit three times now. They are fantastic! They are always right on time, get straight to work and they want to make sure that it is done right the first time instead of just rushing through something . If they have questions - they ask. If there's a challenge, they help to find a good solution. Impressive!! I'm giving them a call again to handle some guestroom bathroom work! I appreciate them very much.
