We're The Small Job Specialists

I hired Troy long distance to do some major work needed in my family's house in Florence to get it ready to sell. He and his crew repaired a lot of drywall, painted the entire house (including ceilings), pulled up all the carpet, hauled away a lot of junk, and many other things. He even helped with getting some things donated and other stuff put in storage. They were punctual and finished all the work within the timeframe promised. It was difficult managing these renovations without being there but Troy sent pictures on a daily basis to show me the progress which was much appreciated. It's hard to find people with great work ethics these days so I highly recommend Florence Handyman and will use them again if ever needed.

Great group of people to work with! Fair/open with the cost and spreadsheets the cost. Frequent communication and flexible in that most of the interactions can be had through text. To top it off, he informed me of a gas leak! All around nice people!

Shows up and does what he says he will do. If the job is too big or not the right fit he will let you know. The price was fair and the job was done well.

Troy replied quickly to my text and had me scheduled in a matter of minutes. He saved my bathroom from a plumbing disaster and now we've scheduled another job - can't wait to work with him in the future! Highly recommend!

This is the second time I have used Troy and his crew. They do great work and have not overcharged. We are using them to have quite a bit more done. They do great work!

I recently had a fence put up, but later found several things not right with the gates. When I called the owner to come and correct these things, I had no luck at all with him returning. One of the gate latches was actually put on backwards with the lock on the outside. The other gate never had the fitting on the bottom where the rod goes into to hold it in place. I was told by my fence guy that it was the customer’s place to get the bottom part. He said that was the “new” way now! After much frustration with my original fence man, I called Florence Alabama Handyman and spoke to the owner Troy. He was so helpful, and came out to fix what I needed. He was very quick to respond, and did a wonderful job. Going forward I will use this company for many of my upcoming jobs around my house. I strongly and highly recommend this company for your fence as well as any other jobs you might need around your house!

This 3-man crew worked diligently to complete my fence in spite of extreme heat. Troy kept me informed and is capable of doing lots of different projects. Like I told my friend who I referred to him, "I only found positive reviews for Florence Handyman, as well as when he was in business in California.

Troy went above and beyond! He gets in quick and gets it done. Hard to find someone to tackle a job that has several different types of repairs / updates and then get the type of quality or better as those contractors that “specialize” in one certain trade. He was very good at communicating to me what was a need and what was important for the repairs. Would definitely use his services again!

After multiple botched attempts to find a reliable handyman in Muscle Shoals, I stumbled upon a god send, Troy! I sent him out to replace a few acoustical ceiling tiles in one of the commercial properties I manage and he went above and beyond to take care of this work for me. He met both of my two P requirements-Professional and Punctual! I would not hesitate to contact Troy for any of my future needs.

We used Troy for a termite damage project and we are very satisfied with his work! He was incredibly responsive, professional, finished everything up far sooner than we expected, and for less than we expected! He did a really great job and my only regret is that we didn't call him sooner.

We had a hole in our drywall that we needed repaired fast and Troy was able to come and get it done super fast and did an amazing job! We’re already planning more projects to have them come back and do for us!

We had a lot of "little" projects that needed complete before we put our house on the market. We simply didnt have time to do them ourselves. They came in and painted, built a fence, replaced some areas of the front porch, etc etc etc. I am not only completely happy with the job that was done, but I'm just as happy with how quick they were able to finish the job. Thank you!!!

Hands down the best Handyman I’ve ever met. His work is affordable while still being great quality. Always willing to answer any questions you may have and shows up on time. And on top of everything else he’s a got a great personality. Can’t recommend him enough! You won’t be disappointed.

Very pleased with the work done!!! We had them add a deck down the entire length of our house and add an additional screened in back deck. Quality work at a great price! Before they left they made sure we were totally satisfied with the work done and ofcourse we were and I am a very picky person so that says a lot about their work. We would definitely use them again and also recommend them to anyone needing work done.

I’ve known the Handyman for 13 years! Worked with him in multiple projects and the most recent was my kitchen. His team helped me renovate my kitchen from top to bottom! It’s gorgeous! I can’t wait to find another project for him to do for me.

Troy (aka Florence Handyman) has been showing off his handyman services around our facilities for several months. (note: painting, lighting,,, carpentry, remodeling) He has the talent and knowledge to do most anything thrown at him and has been a huge asset on jobs both big & small, simple & complex. We have multiple locations throughout the Shoals area (note: Long-Lewis, Extreme Auto Design, Napa Auto Parts, Ivory Tower downtown Florence) of which he has completed work for. He is always very prompt, professional, and polite. His work is done efficiently and with great care & quality. I can't say enough about Troy's amazing attitude and work ethic! He is a class act!!

I have worked with Troy Canterberry, (Florence/Bakersfield Handyman) since before 1998. Troy was the best handyman I have ever had the pleasure to work with and he is sorely missed. I've been a Realtor for more than 30 years and I believe that says a lot about Troy's expertise. His work is always professional, timely and client satisfaction was always 100%. His overall knowledge and experience FAR exceeded the norm in his field. There was never a time when he was not able to fix a problem (no matter how complicated) and he always considered the cost.

He is honest, hard-working, dependable and will be an asset to anyone who is so fortunate to have him work for them. I can't say enough about his knowledge and work ethic. I definitely wish him well. However, I wish he was still here! He is basically irreplaceable.

There are many things I can say about Troy/Florence Handyman/Bakersfield Handyman. He started doing maintenance work for the Management Trust Company in 2008. There was very little that Troy couldn't do and if he couldn't do something he was very straight forward and honest about it. We manage several Home Owner Associations (HOAs). The home owners loved him and so did all the HOA board members. He was very efficient and did not disappoint. As time went on all of our HOA board members & managers started using Troy for their personal maintenance & repair related jobs. They were always very happy with his work.

We miss him dearly and nobody has been able to fill his shoes since he moved to Alabama.
Anyone hiring him should feel very fortunate!
