We just moved in and needed a few repairs, so weve used this service a few times.
He responds quickly and is very flexible with scheduling, often coming out to take a look right away.
The work is done quickly and professionally, with no hassle.
Ive had other handymen who were slow to respond or overpriced, but this service has been reliable and easy to work with.
I will definitely recommend him if youre looking for a handyman !!

We have used Doug for many years and he has been exceptional with his communication with his follow-through. We have used him for small repairs, plumbing, deck restoration, hanging pictures, painting, deck repairs and painting our house shutters.

Great response time, great work. Doug replaced 2 old and difficult to access faucets. I am very pleased and happy that I found Handyman Doug.

We had severe woodpecker damage in front of our house after a month long vacation away from home. I tried to contact various services providers to have the repair done, most of them were either busy or stop working outside. I found Doug on Nextdoor and left him a voice message, he called me back the following day. Doug was able to accommodate my situation and came earlier than originally planned, he and his son were very nice, courteous, did a great job! It was a big relief to see the house being taken care before winter comes.
I will ask Doug for any future handyman work and also highly recommend to anyone who is looking for house maintenance help with quality and peace of mind.

Doug is the best. He is professional, on time, respectful and honest. He does a great job and is friendly and kind.

Doug helped replace a broken window in a basement window well with plexiglass that had to be cut to fit. I was having trouble finding someone to assist, but he was willing to take the job on, came on time, and did the job with quality at a reasonable price.

All professional’s should follow Doug’s work ethic. Doug arrived on time and was so accommodating on everything I asked him to do, so helpful and polite, I knew right away I chose the right person. If you are in need of a “Handyman” I strongly recommend you call 847 340 7639 you will be so pleased with the end results.

Doug is a total pro and was a joy to deal with. He replaced my garbage disposal and fixed a light that was not working properly and the cost was very reasonable even though I am on a tight budget. He is the only handyman I will use in the future - totally trustworthy and I highly recommend him.

Doug was excellent as he wall mounted our 65 tv perfectly after consulting with us the different position options. He also did some other general repairs around the house quickly - I highly recommend Doug!

We just sold our home and there were numerous minor repairs identified during the inspection. Doug came in and quickly knocked them out. He was responsive, personable and professional. Best handyman I have ever used. Almost makes me sorry I am moving.

Doug did a brake job on my jeep recently. He did a great job and the brakes are like new. He also saved me money compared to an automotive service.

Thanks so much to Handyman Doug! You did incredible work in my little coffee shop and I really appreciate the quick turnaround and reasonable price. I highly recommend Doug to small businesses and residents in the area.

Found Doug via Palatine Facebook group via a reference from someone in the group. I needed to get some cabinets trimmed up to be able to fit my new fridge into it's spot.

Doug was quick to respond and helped me out on short notice. The cabinets got trimmed up perfectly and he helped me run a water line from the sink through the floor and in the basement back up to the back side of the fridge.

I definitely wouldn't have been able to do this myself (didn't have the tools and just moved into the house) and would HIGHLY recommend Doug for any handyman related work in the area!

Thanks again Doug!

Doug did a great job installing shiplap into my son's new room. He stopped by the same day I reached out to him about the job. Gave me a great quote and was able to come 5 days later to install it. He was courteous, hard working and friendly. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a handyman.

Doug was a great handyman. Very pleased with his communication and work.

I hired Doug to replace an over the stove microwave oven. Doug was flexible with his schedule to accommodate mine. He was prompt, friendly and professional.
