About Me:

I have been a professional handyman, painter and carpenter for 15+ yrs. Lived in Austin the last 7 yrs after a move from the hill country. I'm honest and fast while being detail oriented. Hourly rates change depending on skill set required and length of job. Often can come by and bid the work before we commit. If there is any reason I do not think the job can be completed or is cost effective I will let you know before we start the project. Feel free to contact me with any questions!

Tim met and exceeded all expectations. He has all the tools and skills to do the job and was very professional and clean. The work on the closet involved demolition, rebuilding and retrofitting a door not designed for the use. Overall he did a great job and was great to work with. Will definitely continue to work with him for future home projects.

Tim committed to replacing an old chandelier with a new one. He encountered a road block when some parts were missing, and he quickly found a quick and inexpensive solution on the spot. He is nice, articulate, and efficient.

There also did a great job. I give Tim 5 stars on all the above categories. I will definitely use Tim again for other jobs. Great HANDYMAN!!! Thanks Tim.

Excellent job! Tim responded quickly and was very helpful in finishing some last minute work before a big Thanksgiving crowd. He went to the hardware store for a part and was very courteous and helpful.

fix my gate/fence

Nov 15, 2014

Tim fixed my gate and then I hired him for the much bigger job of fixing the outer wall on the south side of my house. He's been easy to work with, has shown up when he's said he would, and has been creative about ways to fix things so I could keep the costs down. His fixes have been thorough and complete, not at all slapdash. I plan to keep using him.

Tim showed up early and made short work of a nasty little hole in my sheetrock. He even said he'd work a deal for me on subsequent work because this went so quickly. Will definitely call him again next time I need some skilled work.

Tim was a great person to work with. He was very responsive in communicating our meetup time and the materials that he was going to use for the project. He came prepared with all the necessary power tools and was very knowledgeable in fixing my door. He came on time and was very professional. He took the time to finish the project very carefully, and I was very pleased with his work. I would highly recommend Tim for any home repairs.

Tim has helped me out too many times to remember. He has lots of years of experience doing lots of different things. He is competent, respectful, and trustworthy. Rather than have to do something over again because it's not right, he prefers to do things right the first time.

Feb 25, 2014

We hired Tim to hang and finish sheetrock and then paint and install wood trim. He also did some minor plumbing repairs, caulking and hung some shelves. We found his work to be of the highest quality, and we found him easy to work with in every way. A plus for those of you who are chemically sensitive and don't want to have fragranced workers in your home - he comes fragrance free. We recommend him without hesitation.

Just had Tim come by with a quick shower fix. I was under the impression that it was a much larger job, but he let me know that I could take back the huge kit I purchased and went to Lowe's after checking it out to get the right part. Very nice and quick!

Tim Abbott came to my home on Wednesday to repair drywall that had collapsed in my garage. He did an awesome job; a very meticulous worker . A hard worker. I have already assigned him another task, and have referred him to two other people. If there was a star system here, I would assign him 5 stars!!!

I hope to forever have Tim around to help us with our projects. He makes life so easy for us and is always communicating. It has been a long time since we have encountered such professionalism in any kind of worker. Handyman is an understatement for the kind of work he does. He really cared for our home and was upfront about cost and time, always looking out for our best interest.

We hired Tim to tile our old kitchen floor. His estimate was right on the money. He IS as he says...honest and professional and we'll add "patient" to the list. We were clueless as to the tile choices available. He explained all the products so we could make the right decision. Tim is a hard worker and takes pride in what he does. We love our kitchen floor! Tim is our new "go-to" guy for repairs and any other future home projects. FINALLY! We're thrilled to have found the best, most reliable and honest handyman out there.

We hired Tim to install a doggy door on short notice. He was extremely professional and did a great job. Knowing that we were in a hurry he even stayed late on Friday to finish while it was raining. He did not complain once. We plan on using Tim in the future -- he did a great job.
