Real Reviews from Real Neighbors
I feel so lucky to have found Rutherford Handyman Service. My wife and I recently purchased a home in Lake Lure that had been vacant for several years and needed some remodeling and general maintenance that had been neglected. Mr. Bobby Wallace and his crew have been an absolute delight to work with. Great quality of work, excellent value, amazing communication and very easy to work with. Highly recommend for anyone looking for work in the area!
Stephen Epstein
Home Owner
I contacted Rutherford Handyman Service for a quote on building a new deck for my parents’ house. They responded right away, provided a fair and reasonable quote, and were able to start quickly. They arrived exactly when they said they would, completed the work as contracted, and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves. I highly recommend Rutherford Handyman Service for any handyman needs — they are professional, reliable, and deliver excellent quality work.
