I was very pleased with his workmanship. My main project was hanging a mirror above our fireplace. He had extra time so took on a few smaller projects to make use of the time left and was just charged the fee for the time slot. Quick response to initial inquiry and project done within a week. Will hire again for any handyman projects.

Exterior entry door and storm door replacement - Tobin was great. He showed up on time, knew what he was doing, and quickly got to work.

Tobin was easy to work with and he did an amazing job installing a ceiling fan in my living room and interior 6-panel door downstairs, which was not an easy install because it had to be custom fit. He is hard-working and cares about the quality of his work and it shows! He is trustworthy and I highly recommend his services!!

WOW today, THANKFULLY, I met Tobin Laursen TLC Handyman Services owner/entrepreneur/carpenter/engineer/woodworker/problem solver/and so much more, for the first time! It won't be the last. As a local Realtor I will call him FIRST for future projects (I AM PICKY) and wholeheartedly recommend him to my clients. Thank you, Tobin, for your prompt communication and meticulous adjustment to our white custom cabinetry. He did such an excellent job, I can't even tell there ever was a problem. PROBLEMS: Days before Christmas the refrigerator that was built in to our custom cabinetry DIED. Local appliance dealers could not find a new refrigerator that would fit into the space where our dead one was built in. They were all at least an inch too tall. Therefore we couldn't slide it in to the refrig opening as before and couldn't open the cabinet doors above it without pulling the new refrigerator out 10 inches each time we wanted to open them. NOOOOO! Tobin skillfully cut the doors and bottom cabinet frame for a custom fit! PERFECT! Thank you so much! I am impressed with the whole experience. 
Dan Roberts

We had a wonderful experience with TLC Handyman Services. Tobin was at our home in August and did many repairs to our home. We have old door knobs in our home and he got most of them to function properly again. He fixed our attic access and not only did it well, but found a fix that our fit our budget better than previously expected. He also came up with a very clever fix for an access panel to our basement water gauges. Tobin was very professional, very friendly, and very knowledgable. We plan to use his services again and highly recommend him to others.

Tobin was great to work with. He arrived on time, was professional, friendly and attentive to details. He installed 3 TV mounts, mounted 4 over-sized picture canvases onto the walls and fixed my son’s double closet doors. He stayed true to his 100% satisfaction guaranteed promise. My husband is very particular so when he noticed that something was slightly off with one of the TV mounts shortly after Tobin left, we called him and he returned promptly and made it right. I’m in the process of making another “honey do” list and will have Tobin come back again!
