Kenneth arrived on time, we went over the list of items to be completed and he began working. Everything was completed and looks as I hoped. This is my third time using The Trusted Toolbox and I have always been satisfied with the results and the quality and knowledge of the techs. Kenneth was no exception.

The Trusted Toolbox: Your Smart Investment for Your Most Valuable Asset!
🏡 Your home is likely your biggest investment. Protect it with regular maintenance and timely repairs.
🏡 Budget at least 1% of your home’s value for annual upkeep. In the Greater Atlanta area, that’s about $4,300 on a median home of $437,100 (May 2025).
🏡 Common issues like wood rot and damaged caulking can be costly if ignored. Let our professionals help you fix them early.
🏡 Summer is the best time to inspect your home’s “building envelope” — windows, doors, siding, roof, foundation, and insulation.
🏡 We can help you identify and repair problem areas with expert inspections and skilled repairs, keeping your home in top shape.
🏡 Tackle your home’s to-do list in one day with our Handyman for a Day package! Our experts handle multiple small tasks efficiently, from drywall repair and fixture replacements to minor carpentry work and more.
Alex Hanselman was excellent. Work done quickly, made sure everything worked, cleaned after each project. Ability to do estimate through photos was very helpful and accelerated scheduling. Glad to have worked with The Trusted Toolbox again.
