Any recommendations who to call to install some updated handles on my kitchen cabinets and drawers?

As long as the holes on the new pulls and handles will be in the same place as the current ones, this is a very easy do it yourself project. You just need a screw driver.

I agree with above if you can use the same holes. If you cannot, this is another can of worms, filling the old hole, and matching the color of the existing cabinet can be very tricky.
now for your specific question: any of the several handymen in TV can do the replace using the existing holes. If your new hardware cannot use the existing holes, I would contact the Villages Woodworking shop (Rolling Acres Road), and ask for advice as this will take an expert.
If you are going from one hole to 2 hole handles, and can use the EXISTING hole, you can still go with local handymen, the new hole needs to be square and of course in the correct location, fairly easy to do.
One other thought, if your new pulls can be purchased with a decorative plate to cover the old hole this would probably greatly simplify the install.
Hope this helps

We just used "Action Jackson". He's listed in the Daily Sun classified and very good & reasonable.

Yes, that’s the problem....will be going from a one hole pull knob to a 2 hole handle. Thanks for your feedback!
