What Clients Say
★★★★★ 5.0 average across 52+ reviews — 37 on Thumbtack, 15 on Google, plus direct customer feedback.
"Chad has been excellent to work with. He communicates clearly, is reliable, and shows up on time. I've hired him for a couple of jobs at my rental property, and the work has always been clean, professional, and well done. He also provides photos of the completed work, and payment is simple. Overall, he offers great customer service and is a no-hassle handyman."
"I contacted Build & Fortify, Chad, because I was having an issue with my gate. I had previously had someone else look at it and they offered no solution. Chad came to look at it and really took the time to figure out how he could solve the problem. He was communicative and got the job done. I even had him fix another gate and problem solve a third issue I had."
"He showed up on time and was very efficient. Charged me a great price, very reasonable, and helped me with the issues that I was having with my food trailer. I would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone who needs handyman service or metal work."
"Chad did an excellent job. He repaired my fence lines, added privacy lattice, welded and repaired a gazebo frame, reinforced sections of the fence, and repaired a plumbing leak. He had good suggestions, an eye for detail and was prompt with his communication."
