I have used Forrest several times—in fact I used him today! He is a lovely human being and really good at what he does. He’s also very smart and efficient with his time. He always shows up on time. I totally trust him. He’s reliable and responsible, and his pricing is very fair.
I originally hired him to put together some Ikea cabinets for me. He did a wonderful job.
After that I unfortunately had a flood in my apartment. I needed to box up all my personal belongings and rip apart a whole two bedroom apartment and put everything into one room so the workers could get in there. Forrest helped me with prepping the place for strangers to come into my place for a month.
In the end, I had to move out of that apartment and Forrest helped me do that: unbolting furniture from walls, taking ceiling fans off of ceilings, things like that.
Forrest is more than just a handyman. He also offers moving services and he can be a project manager. Today he helped me transfer my things in storage from one place to another. I am out of state so I needed someone to supervise the transfer, and make sure everything fit. I totally trust him and he is very respectful of my property.
We all need constructive criticism to grow and learn, but I can’t think of anything he could do better. I have only had positive experiences all the way around with Forrest.

I'll gladly give Forrest a great review! I met Forrest when he helped me move into my new home over a year ago. He exceeded all my expectations. He was super professional and friendly. He arrived on time and was well prepared. I was truly blown away by how efficiently he worked. The move went so quickly that Forrest was able to complete some additional tasks inside my new place. He really took the stress out of moving!
Because my first experience with Forrest was so great, I also hired him a couple more times. Forrest is very technically skilled and has great ideas. He constructed some large shelving and attached it inside my garage, which was not an easy job. He also did an awesome job constructing some other furniture for us.
I feel so fortunate to have met Forrest! His work is absolutely superb. There is no doubt in my mind that anyone who hires him will be very pleased.

Forrest has done two jobs for me. He is incredibly helpful and nice. The first time he helped me move. He was supposed to just transport my heavy furniture, but he ended up helping with everything. I really appreciated that. The second time, he mounted some things for me in my new house. He is coming back soon to help assemble the rest of my furniture.
Forrest is very kind, sweet and patient. He comes with all his own equipment. He anticipates what might happen and what you might need.
He was easy to get ahold of and good at communicating. He was very affordable, too. He is a 10/10 for sure.

Forrest is an incredibly dedicated, professional, and skilled handyman. He is always punctual and shows up with a great attitude and tons of knowledge. Even if he can’t fix something that day (which is rare), he has a lot of good information and can provide a second opinion on more advanced electric or appliance repairs as well. Very easy to schedule with as well. Thanks Forrest for all you’ve helped me the past year - with two different apartments and lots of chaos!

I am an executive assistant to two CEO’s. My main priority when I hire vendors is security and discretion. This past year, one of my boss's homes flooded when it was raining, and they had to move out of their home. I hired Forrest to help out very last minute, and it turned out to be a win because I really like his work. He makes it all easy-peasy. He is great at communicating and always arrives on time, which is rare. He was very good at staying on top of things during the move and was great with my boss's kids. His pricing is reasonable and fair. He is reliable and just really nice.

Having worked with different handy-people over the years, Forrest impressed me from the beginning. He had a quick response time and was very punctual. He is skilled, polite and easy to work with. The thing that I appreciated most was that he was very clean, which isn't always the case with handy-people. He was good at preparing the area, and careful about not dragging dirt into our home. He is clear about what he can do and what he can’t. His honesty is appreciated. I have no criticism.
