MrDid’s Custom Touch

I wanted to get some work done in my kitchen. I was looking for some professional handyman who are very hard to find these days. I am so glad that I found Larry on Unilocal.He showed up little late but boy the work he had done was impressive. He was very polite and knew what he was doing. I would definitely recommend him.

It is hard to find people like Larry, he is honest and hardworking. He fixed our exterior door’s trim. Due to his busy schedule it was difficult to pencil a date but if you have time to get the work done Larry is your man! Already started to think about future projects for him!

Larry is magnificent!!! He came 20 minutes early and even though it took slightly longer to install our storm door he only charged the quoted price. We’re going to definitely be calling MrDid again for all our projects. Not only did he do excellent work he also took the time to explain things and was never bothered by questions. It is so fantastic to find an honest and efficient worker with high quality standards. If you need a job done around your home or business we highly recommend MrDid. They’ll do it right the first time.

I called Larry on Saturday he squeezed me on a Wednesday. I don’t live in Chicago full time so I had no handyman to call. I found Larry on Unilocal.Larry was super nice on phone. I wasn’t able to meet him at the condo, but he fixed everything followed by email explanation on what he did and how to avoid breaking it in future. I will be calling Larry again!

Larry is great! He installed the backsplash in my kitchen, installed under-​cabinet lighting along with minor kitchen maintenance after a recent renovation project. The project took a day and a half and the results were amazing.
He is friendly and extremely responsive with questions I had prior to the project. He let me know exactly how much the project would cost and recommended products based on quality as well as price, which was much appreciated!
I will definitely contact him for future home projects.

I had Larry help me with some baby gates and other random baby proofing a while back. I had been putting it off for months because it takes me forever to assemble those types of things. He was so efficient and his prices were really reasonable. I will definitely be contacting him a when I need assistance again!

Larry is very responsive. I had an electrical issue and also some concerns about HVAC maintenance in my condo– Larry was kind enough to exchange several emails with me, sharing his knowledge and experience even though the issues did not warrant an immediate visit. So, Larry is the man. he will DEFINITELY be my first choice whenever I need handywork done in the future.

Here’s the thing. I’m a female (I know, shocker).
Here’s the other thing. Because I’m a female, people think they can take advantage of me.
Okay, one more thing. Larry was awesome! I called him to help me take off the top of my pedestal sink, and instead of coming to charge me an exorbitant amount of money, he let me know that there was no need for that. He gave me the instructions over the phone so I can do it myself without being charged.
There are very few people who are able to do business like that. Most importantly, there are very few people who are not selfish and really care about customer service.
Thanks to Larry for being a stand-​up handyman. He will now be the first person I call for anything I need done around the house.

Larry just installed 3 pendant lights over our kitchen island and they look great! He is fast, efficient, reasonably priced and very friendly. I will definitely be having him do some more projects in the near future!

Found Larry from previous Unilocal reviews and hoped for the best. We needed a kitchen light replaced. He provided excellent advise thru e-​mails even before we had ever contracted with him to do the work. He came (on time) and replaced our light for an agreed upon fixed price. He was careful, clean, personable and polite. We will absolutely be calling on him when needs arise!

Outstanding service. Larry is honest, efficient and knowledgable. He is also very reasonable priced. Was a pleasure working with him and will definitely consider him for future projects.

I asked Larry for some advice, and he got back to me the next day! Very responsive and friendly guy … definitely a 5 star handyman.

Larry was quick to respond to my request for information and provided an estimate for the job that was very reasonable. He was on time and provided great advice. I will definitely ask for his help again.

Larry just left. He was on time in this nasty snow, was done in 15 minutes and gave me a quote for some other drywall work that was 75% less than others I had gotten. Larry will be back next week! I’m also going to have his service re-​paint our condo this summer.
Update: Larry finished the work and it looks fantastic. He came in under his already low quote.

Larry came referred by a neighbor. He replaced a sink, faucet and garbage disposal in a few hours, and kept me entertained while doing it! Thrilled with the job he did!
Go Mr. Did!
He was extremely personable, prompt, and thorough. Did what he said he was going to do, and didn’t overcharge us in the end. Would refer him to friends fearlessly. Thank You Larry!

Larry was great to work with. I had a minor problem with some bathroom lighting and he was able to fix it in no time! His knowledge of the issue was exceptional and even offered some advice about another project I will be contacting him on in the future.
From my first email to him to following up that he was on his way the communication was very timely.
I highly recommend this company based on my experience.

I emailed Larry on a Friday while my husband was trying to install a ceiling light. It wasn’t going well and we thought we’d shorted something out. Decided it was time to call in a professional so I emailed to see if I could get an appointment over the weekend. Larry emailed back within a few hours and gave us a lengthy instruction on how we could probably fix the problem ourselves and save the money on his services. When does that ever happen??? So he already gets points from me for honestly and integrity! He was right on and we were able to fix the problem ourselves, however, being new to Chicago from New Jersey, we will need his services in the

Larry is awesome. I had an issue with 2 outlets in my condo and he came over assessed the problem and replaced my outlet in less than an hour. He was the only electrician that didn’t have a minimum fee and didn’t charge by the hour. I’ll use him for any home improvement jobs in the future. Very reasonable prices.

I contacted Larry via email regarding a leaky hose attached to the sprayer of my kitchen faucet. He encouraged me that I could do it myself and gave me some quick How To guidance. After receiving the confidence from him, I decided to tackle the job myself. I should note that he did offer me his services at a very fair rate. After a few back and forth emails of more detailed and understandable instructions I had fixed it myself and saved a few hundred dollars on labor and replacing the entire faucet (as advised by my building engineer who believes that’s always the way to go in these situations). I’m not sure if this kind of help is normal business for him and he simply had the time to email, but this was how it worked out for me.
Now I have a new set of skills and confidence. Thanks Larry! Your honest help is rare and valuable!

I can not say enough about Larry. I own a small rental apartment in Chicago but live out of state. One call to Larry took care of all my issues. He did numerous repairs, coordinated the carpet install with Home Depot for me, installed a new air conditioner & installed window bars. He is amazing and pleasant to work.
If he can’t do it, he’ll give you referrals to reliable people. He is totally the best.
