To show you his honestly, he accidently cracked one of my sliding doors on a late Friday afternoon. The door just made like a spiderweb, nothing dangerous that we couldn't wait until Monday. He came back Monday morning with his helper and replaced the glass sliding door, no charge to us and didn't even hint that I should pay part of it.
His prices were great, he moved all the shelves in our master closet down a foot and place identical shelving 3' above, patched and painted all the old holes. Essentially he doubled our closet's capacity and total cost parts and labor $150. I just did a search on TOTV and Tim's name is mentioned in 39 threads. Here's some reading if you want:

Thank you, John W.
Will add Tim Miller to my list.
2 things to improve the Handyman market:
1) more competition: the handyman I just had who left me in the dark for 2 weeks charges $40/hour and "doesn't advertise" or (usually) make estimates. $40/hour is good in anybody's book, so if anyone's interested in being a handyman, I would encourage them to do so.
2) Feedback: like this, and Yelp.com, and Google Reviews. Thank you one and all for the feedback, and keep it coming.
