Reese was prompt, professional and knowledgeable. I had him out for most of the day to put various things together that were purchased at Joss and Main. He also did things that I am not adept as like drilling tie back holders for curtains, hanging pictures precisely, etc. I am calling him today to have him put together a patio set I recently purchased. Highly recommend!

Reese was just great. He put our dresser together for us without a hitch and was careful and helpful the whole time he was here. We could not have asked for anyone better. You will not go wrong when you hire Reese

Reese was great. He arrived just when he said he would. took our project of putting together a dresser in hand , did it perfectly and left the project clean and finished. More importantly he seemed to really care that things got done correctly. We will definately be using his services again. Jane Mark and Phil Basten

Reese did a fantastic job putting together our kids swing set! He was reliable, thorough, knowledgable and reasonably priced. We will definitely use Reese again if we need anything done around our house and will recommend him to friends and family.

| Lincoln Park IKEA Kitchen project | Apr 2015 | Assistance to a young couple renovating their Lincoln Park Condo Kitchen. They were comfortable doing routine IKEA assembly, but needed help with hanging the cabinets, and doing back-panel cut-outs for plumbing and electrical. We got the shells hung (and did some correction of a couple of assembly mistakes). I then gave the client a lesson (and loaned her some tools) in the art of "tuning" cabinet doors (getting them to open and close smoothly, and achieving uniform seams and door heights). The clients did the first-stage assembly of the 20 cabinets, we then hung them, and the clients then proceeded to attach; doors, drawers, cabinet shelves, plinths, lights, etc. This two day project broke down to about $800 for labor, and $25.00 for parts (mainly heavy duty dry-wall anchors and cabinet screws). | $825 | Chicago, IL | |

| Inverness Mansion closet installation project | Jan 2014 | Clients newly constructed 4-car home in Inverness subdivision (every home has a 4+ car garage). The first general contractor vanished with deposit money, forcing clients to step in and manage the completion of all construction themselves. After hiring closet professionals for the master bedroom and master pantry, the client reached out to me for more affordable shelving for another eleven closets. We also installed about 15 towel or toilet paper holders across five bathrooms. The $3,500 breaks down to about $2,000 in materials and $1,500 for a week of labor. Here is a link to a video on my YouTube channel of the completed project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLeV6g1c93U New construction of a mansion in Inverness.
