The Most Important Question is…
Why Do Homeowners Choose Us?
Every part of your life runs on relationships built on trust. You trust a doctor to keep you healthy. You trust a mechanic to keep your vehicle safe. You trust a barber or hairdresser to help you look your best. Parents trust teachers and childcare providers with their children. You trust your accountant during tax season, your pharmacist when you’re sick, and your favorite restaurant to serve food that’s safe and consistent. You trust your mail carrier, your banker, your pastor, and even your dog groomer.
Homeowners also need a trusted handyman that they have a relationship with — someone who shows up, communicates clearly, respects your home, and does the work right. Most people already have trusted professionals in every other part of their life… so the real question is: who is the trusted handyman you call when your home needs help?

Highly recommend for anyone looking for work in the area!

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.
