Default Excellent, inexpensive handy guy

Don Cunningham installed 3 ceiling fans and hung a half dozen medium to large pictures this morning. I recommend him without reservation. Don is a master electrician in another state, is trustworthy, reliable, personable and experienced in most everything to do with construction.
He will give you a high level of collaborative, insightful help with projects you have that are within his expertise.
I got more than I paid for...
Kitty
ps Don's phone is 352-391-2564.
pps Don has a keen eye for detail. He said, "now for the big test" as he put the level on my pictures...

Looking for someone to build a smallish closet. Would he be someone that I should contact or someone else to recommend.

We have used Don for a number of jobs in our 5 month old home, and will call him again for all our handyman needs!

Definitely call him Suzi. You can't miss. I think your job would be a piece of cake, but I can't speak for him. He has a list of vendors if it's not his thing.
Don's number is 352-391-2564

I will definitely recommend Jimmy Jones ( J. J. ) his telephone number is:352-460-2173. Jimmy installed cabinets in my garage and I will say they are fantastic!

Jimmy is actually a finish carpenter (old school) and has many,many talents.Also a Village resident,honest,trustworthy,reliable, very,very reasonable. I am going to have Jimmy back for some additional projects that I need for him to do.

and yes, Don's wife is BK Cunningham, famous among my friends for referring her to them, a TOTV sponsor who does house cleaning, home watch, and whatever you need. I hired her as a personal assistant and she kept me sane during my move in.
This couple is a Godsend.

Don is topnotch, he installed a Murphy Bed wall unit for us in our home after he disassembled it at a home in Stone Crest we purchased it from, in quick order. Looks brand new, Perfect job done for reasonable price. You can't go wrong with Don very skilled craftsman. Sure knows his stuff.

Emma, the good-looking one in my avatar, came over this morning while I'm on the computer, with her boxer butt switching sideways. I thought of Don saying, "just one time" and scratching her butt. Do you think just one time worked out...no it didn't.. Emma had Don at Hello.

I would think the charge may vary somewhat depending on the type of work, but Don can answer better than me! 352-391-2564.
