The Handy Brit
Paul didn't really set out to become a Handyman, he saw a need for his expertise. Previously, when employed as an Electrical Engineer, he was frustrated being a cog in a machine and yearned to work to his full potential. He left the position and decided to concentrate his efforts in real estate. He purchased a house and started to renovate it full-time.

Whilst renovating the house he was shocked at the poor quality and unreliability of local contractors. Quickly, he realized the shortage of reliable, skilled, honest workers in the Sarasota area. Paul knew he could do better! So he decided to start his own handyman business offering high-quality services.

Based on the reviews I picked the Handy Brit and was very satisfied with the work done. I had a wood floor installed and had them put the trim in that room as well. They installed the floor. Looks great. They painted the trim and installed it and then touched up the paint after. They put some caulking by the closet door on the floor to seal it. I was a little nervous at first but once they started I could tell it was going well. I would definitely use them again.

I have used The Handy Brit three times now. They are fantastic! They are always right on time, get straight to work and they want to make sure that it is done right the first time instead of just rushing through something . If they have questions - they ask. If there's a challenge, they help to find a good solution. Impressive!! I'm giving them a call again to handle some guestroom bathroom work! I appreciate them very much.

I can speak highly of the HandyBrit who was able to do a number of small annoying projects that have lingered for years. He was extremely professional and had every tool needed for the variety of projects. The estimate was fair and the follow up good. I found him personable and pleasant to work with. I would highly recommend!

Alisa and Paul have been very responsive and professional and kept us informed as to scheduling and costs. Kerry arrived on time and was incredibly skilled. He was also extremely neat while doing reconstruction and installation of lighting upgrades. We are very impressed and recommend The Handy Brit without reservation.

Excellent job replacing interior doors and trim. Paul did the complete job from picking up the doors, painting and caulking trim (many contractors won’t paint) and cleaning up after the job was done. Everything looks beautiful and works perfectly. Highly recommend Paul and his crew and we will certainly use him again!!

The Handy Brit crew has hung interior doors and built pantry shelves for us. They did a great job and cleaned up after themselves. They were polite and courteous. We are very pleased with their work and will use them again.

We hired Paul (The Handy Brit) to do a laundry list of tasks prior to moving into our new house: install light fixtures, change faucets and door knobs, install a wood closet system, put new anchor screws into our lanai frame. He and his helper did them all, and well.
Their "office" (Paul's spouse) is super efficient too. Providing written estimates and fair billing. Paul showed up as promised, executed flawlessly, and wrapped up in time. Can't ask for more than that!
Cute truck too, painted with Union Jack colors.

We hired The Handy Brit to replace some dry-rotted siding on our house. They gave us a good price, showed up on time, did a great job, and even discounted the estimate for unused material.

I bought a condo and was going to try to lay the luxury vinyl plank flooring myself. I met Paul and he gave me some pointers and then I realized I should not do it myself. I am so glad I met him and even more grateful that I hired him. He did a great job better and faster than I could have done. He even did the baseboard and trim. Awesome job! Thanks Paul!
