Small jobs

Who comes out for a railing, a squeaky door or a grab bar?

Plenty of contractors will not drive out for a loose porch railing, a squeaky door or a grab bar. The job is too small to schedule, so it just sits there undone while the house puts up with it.

Zach takes those jobs. He is a handyman in Burlington, Vermont, and a small repair gets the same treatment as a big one: he shows up when he says he will, answers your questions and cleans up after himself. Reviewers say so, and two of them are quoted beside this.

That is the idea behind home repair at Forwardz. A garage door opener that will not work, a shelf that needs to go up and a dryer that needs a vent are all real jobs. You should not have to build a long list before anyone will return your call.

Zach was awesome. Easy to schedule, didn’t mind a small job. …

…Zach is reliable and professional. Regardless of the size of my project … he rolls up his sleeves and gets it done.

Assembly and installs

Furniture, grills, televisions and a washer and dryer

These are jobs customers have written about, and the kind that look easy until the box is open. Here is what three of them involved.

A difficult bed frame and three televisions

One customer had a very difficult bed frame built and three televisions mounted in the same job. Zach was willing to go to the store for the hardware it needed.

A complicated armoire

Another customer had a complicated armoire that needed putting together, and wrote that Zach did an amazing job of it.

A washer and dryer in the basement

A basement that had not had a proper washer and dryer in a long time got one. Zach installed the dryer vent, figured out the wiring, worked out how it would all fit, and ran everything to test it.

I had a great experience with Zachary. He came and fixed my railing on my porch for a very reasonable cost. I would highly recommend him if I need anything ever in the future I know who I’ll be calling.
