Request a QuoteWho he is
Forwardz is Zach.
Forwardz Handyman & Cleaning Services is named for Zach Forward, and the business is Zach. He works out of Burlington, Vermont, and takes jobs across Burlington and central Vermont. He does the repair work himself, and he does the cleaning himself. Reviewers call him Zach, and some call him Zachary. On at least one job, a reviewer names his assistant, Toby.
The jobs customers describe run from a squeaky door and a garage door opener to a small porch built on a house, three mounted televisions, a basement dryer vent, and fifteen windows and a sliding door cleaned inside and out.
This page does not tell a life story, and that is on purpose. The proof here is what customers wrote and the work itself. The four things they bring up most are below, in their own words, with the month each was written.
