About Reliable Handyman
Established 1987, Reliable Handyman is a locally-owned well-respected handyman shop serving Des Moines, IA and the surrounding metro. The team is built around veteran tradespeople with cross-discipline experience — most have prior full-time work as a carpenter, a plumber, or an electrician — which means a single visit can take care of a long punch list that would otherwise require three separate contractors. Up-front written estimates, two-hour minimums, and a one-year workmanship guarantee on every job. Fully insured, references on request.
