"We had a small job for Glenn -- hanging a cuckoo clock on the wall.
We had to wait a long time for him to be available, but it didn't matter because our job was not urgent.
Even though our job was not urgent, it was VERY important to us to have it done well because we don't want the clock to fall off the wall.
On the day, Glenn arrived on time... which was already a good sign. And, despite it being a small job, Glenn took all the necessary precautions to do the job well.
Thanks, Glenn, we will definitely use you again for handyman tasks at our property."

"Glenn, has completed a number of jobs at my home. He has secured windows, a wobbly letterbox, replaced facia board, secured towel rails and prepped, painted and hung 2 internal doors. He is coming back soon to complete outside painting and install a water butt. He helped me work through a solution for storing my adult kids stuff so I can get my car in the garage by boarding the roof space over the garage and putting it up there. Glenn is very kind and patient and easy to talk to. The bonus is he does a really great job and seems happy to turn his hand to anything. The organisation by Kell is also amazing and she keeps you completely informed of any changes to plan. My go to Handyman 100%."

"After the Easter storm when Glenn came to see the jobs I wanted done, he very kindly climbed up on the roof and refitted our chimney top that had blown off, fixing it with screws so it shouldn't happen again. We also had a roof bearer on our glass roof that had rotted and needed to be stabilised to stop pressure on the glass which he also fixed. He then came back at an agreed time to fix the roof properly. We got him to replace shower fittings in both showers and seal the floor.
All jobs were done expertly and without fuss.
We are extremely happy with what Glenn has done and will be using him in the near future for some other jobs that I ambunable to do. 10 out of 10 for efficiency, workmanship and doing what he said he'd do"

We have asked Glenn to help us several occasions over the past couple of years and he always exceeded our expectations with his creativity. He is excellent at communicating clearly when he can work and what he can do. I would recommend him for any job to anyone :)"

"I have used Glenn on several occasions since I moved to Orewa some 4 years ago covering a variety of tasks ( I would mention Glenn can just about do anything) including a cage for my tomatoes, buffer pad for my car in the garage, replacing several internal/external locks, installing a dryer on the wall of my garage and no doubt I will find more work for him. Prices are most reasonable and work to a 100%+ standard. I would strongly recommend him for those jobs that one can no longer do ourselves."

He has fixed our loos, our pergolas, our door locks, our gutters, our spraying...you name it he can do it! :)

I definitely recommend & i do, I have my mom asking him for odd jobs round the house now too, that she is unable to do herself.

"Glenn did some odd jobs around my house to a very good standard. However I was very disappointed that the final invoice included some hidden fees that I was never told about that meant the final bill was over $100 more than was first estimated to me. Apparently Glenn carries a list of all of his fees but this was only given to me after I queried the invoice."

"If others tell you something can't be done or "you'll need to get a guy in" Glenn is probably the guy. He is the ultimate problem solver.

He helped prepare our kitchen and two bathrooms for replacement of old bench tops, basins, taps & splash backs. He removed tiles, took out the old bench tops, levelled walls ready for new splash backs, removed an overhead cupboard resized and reinstalled it, adjusted a window frame and even managed to find someone to make new panels to match our 15 year old bathroom cabinets so we could have a flat bench top and not another waterfall fronted one as everyone else told me I'd have to have.

Glenn is very professional, reliable and goes above and beyond to make sure the end result is great. Highly recommended."

"I have used Glenn on maintenance outside and inside my house, He always turns up when he says he will. I have made lists of the work that I want completed, he will come and give you a quote (which he ends up being very close to) It does not matter what you want done large or small jobs. There has not been anything yet that he has not been able to do. The work is of a very high standard and when he has finished he leaves the place very tidy. If you are not sure how to solve a problem he will make suggestion and the work turns out far nicer than I had expected. I would highly recommend him for any job"

Glenn accepted the challenge, was very thorough, kept us informed the entire way and provided options for alternative solutions. His workmanship, punctualness and workspace cleanliness cannot be faulted. We are glad we found Glenn and would highly recommend his services to anyone."

"We had trouble with our hinged french doors at the office, resulting in one of the doors forming a serious crack up the side of it and stopping us from being able to use or shut/lock the doors at all. Upon calling Glenn, he attended site the very next day and worked efficiently to reinstate the door. He also replaced the hinges on the other side, as soon enough the same cracking issue would have occurred there too, great advice! Overall, we will have Glenn back here any day. He was a great tradie, being both friendly and professional; he worked fast and got us a great result, you can't even tell any repair work has been done! Thanks Glenn, all the best."

"Having contracted Glenn last year for maintenance work on my North Shore home, this year I asked him to complete a variety of jobs to help prepare my house for sale. Time frames were tight and work included replacing a deck, resolving a tricky tile roof leak, repairing flashings, installing new letterboxes, gib relining and numerous interior repairs and tidy-ups. As you can see from this list, Glenn is multi-talented and will cheerfully take on almost any task - the more challenging the better. He excels in tackling tricky problems, coming up with innovative and money-saving solutions where others have balked or suggested unnecessarily expensive repairs. He's a total perfectionist and you couldn't find a more friendly, trustworthy tradesman. Can't recommend him enough!"

"Glen installed a range hood and external vent at my place this morning. Fantastic!! He came and looked at the job the other day to find out and discuss what was needed etc then arrived this morning at exactly the time he said he would (reliable)
He had everything he needed to do the job (organised) I was very impressed - he laid out his tools on a protective cloth on the bench (respectful) and got onto it straight away. He was fast, efficient, cleaned up after himself and the end result was perfect!
The job entailed putting in a 'backboard' between existing cupboards which then had the rangehood mounted onto that. The finishing was perfect - very neat, straight, no gaps, solid. The outside vent was also installed perfectly. I would have no hesitation to recommend Glen to anyone."

"Glenn is pleasant, hardworking and punctual.

He has done various quite different jobs around our property, all to a very high standard, for example: Laying the foundations for a shed; Assembling and repairing that shed; Replacing sections of rotting timber on our stairs and deck; Installing a bollard light; Shifting lots of earth, stone and pavers; Replacing cemented washing line posts; Creating a beautiful stone-filled area with large sleepers around it.

I was somewhat of a pain at times, changing the plan a bit along the way. Glenn was understanding and never seemed to be phased by this (but please don't do this to him too if you can help it!).

Thanks for everything Glenn - you are my first choice for future handyman work."

"We Contacted Glenn from GS handyman solutions to remove the lichen from our roof. After 10 years without any cleaning our decromastic roof was totally covered with lichen. Glenn came around promptly to give us a quote. My requirement was that because we use our roof for water collection I was very particular that the product he would use had as little toxicity as possible. He researched this and gave me a couple of options. Once we agreed on the correct product to use he went ahead and worked extremely hard and fast but in a neat and tidy fashion. My roof now looks 10 years younger . I have used GS handyman before and would carry on using him in the future. I would have no hesitation to refer his services to other prospective clients. Keep up the good work!!!"
