I had to renovate my small 1955 bathroom due to a water leak and the only way to do it right was to gut the entire thing. It's the only full bathroom in a small house so I needed a company that could handle the entire job, including the design and the multiple trades, and complete it quickly and efficiently.

Handymensch did work in my crawl space to replace rotted rim joist, sill plate and a few floor joists on the front foundation wall. They thoroughly explained the work to be done, the process and were excellent in communicating with me from beginning to end! The crew working on this project were professional and paid close attention to details. I am extremely pleased with the final results and grateful this was a positive home repair experience! I would definitely recommend them to family and friends.
