Dave has had some really great ideas that personally I appreciate. Can’t wait to update once everything is completed, and to be able to discuss the finances of it.Thank you for your speedy and excellent support, not to mention affordable! I will be a loyal customer. :) My decks appreciate being sanded and stained. They look brand new. I’m enjoying the new railing as well. Thanks again!+1Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
We have repeatedly asked for our deck to be completed. Half assed sanding it. Left it a mess. Half ass "painted it" wont return calls or text. Knows we are trying to sell our house and has left us hanging. Would NEVER recommend them to anyone ever. Looks like a toddler did it.+18Dave came and fixed up stuff and actually showed me how for future purposes.

I cannot say enough about Dave and Palmer HandyMedics! This was truly a lifesaver. By carefully going through all of the possible causes for our electrical short on one line, Dave found the problem and fixed it quickly, efficiently and (admittedly) inexpensively. He was wonderful. He showed me where wires inside the wall had melted and would have put the house at risk if not remediated. Again, he was great- and I cannot say enough good about Palmer Handy Medics. :-)Dave was super knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with! He was prepared for all three projects we needed help with. He brought the replacement piece for something that ended up not needing replaced. He corrected the existing piece instead of charging us for the one he brought. I appreciate his honesty and will definitely reach out again!Dave was super knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with! He was prepared for all three projects we needed help with.

these guys work hard and know their stuff id rate 10 out of 10 they exceed expectationsDavid and his crew have worked both inside and outside of my home. The most recent job involved cutting concrete that was causing my deck to rise and slope towards the house. It looks great and I’m relieved. I will be using these guys again in the future. Thank you!!!!We are on a well and had no water coming into the house, so I made a request on Angie's list in the morning. By the afternoon, Dave gave us a call and was willing to come over that same evening to diagnose the problem. We appreciated his quick response and persistence to troubleshoot the issue.We are on a well and had no water coming into the house, so I made a request on Angie's list in the morning.

Genuinely the most atrocious service we have ever had. We had multiple services done by them and each time they continued to mess things up worse each time. We had cleaning done by Mallory We paid for 5 hours in which she asked us to vacuum 3 of the rooms ourselves, she did not stay the full 5 hours as she said she was "finished". The master bedroom and bathroom did not get touched at all, there was residue left behind from cleaning products, and everything was swept under counters. This was after our first scheduled day she never showed due to being a double booking and then we had no response about why no one showed until hours later. She also said our fridge was "uncleanable" and wouldn't clean it so we had to reclean everything and then do the fridge that was "uncleanable". She had also told her boss our carpets couldn't be cleaned so the day we had scheduled for carpet cleaning after they forgot it was in the contract no one showed or said anything until we reached out to find out where they were. The same day after rescheduling yard service after another no show they were late and let a dog loose. We had asked that they dont spray with anything as we have dogs we didnt find out until later that they had sprayed anyways after the dogs have already been outside. We have also had repairs done and while the big things were fixed the smaller things we have reminded them we need them fixed several times and still nothing. So after all the rescheduling and no shows we have had to postpone taking pictures and putting our house on the market several times now on top of recleaning when we had paid for someone to do it and then endangering our pets. There has been little to none accountability I would highly recommend using anyone else as using this company is more headache then it is worth and not worth your money.Technician came out to site at the requested time and was professional and skillful. I will definitely use their services again in the future!Technician came out to site at the requested time and was professional and skillful.

We had a leak and within about 10 minutes of texting for help, Dave was there to save the day. That kind of response time is just unheard of. Dave was incredibly kind, responsive, and just jumped right in to take care of everything. It’s rare to find someone who is not only that reliable, but also so easy to work with—and on top of that, their pricing is so reasonable. 1000% would recommend them to absolutely anyone. Truly. Never have I ever worked with someone so nice, responsive, reliable, and affordable. If you need anything done, call them now—you won’t regret it.I cant say enough good things about Palmer HandyMedics.

From the very first call, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely helpful. They took the time to walk me through the options, answered all my questions (including some very specific ones about Alaska’s extreme weather), and provided a fair, transparent quote with no hidden fees. The installation itself was impressive. The crew arrived on time, worked efficiently without making a mess, and treated my home with care and respect. They removed the old windows cleanly and installed the new ones perfectly level and sealed. The difference in drafts, noise reduction, and energy efficiency is night and day—my house feels warmer, quieter, and more comfortable already, even with our unpredictable Alaskan springs! What really stood out was the quality of workmanship and the crew’s attention to detail. Every window operates smoothly, looks beautiful, and was finished with precision. You can tell they take real pride in their work. If you’re in the Wasilla or Mat-Su Valley area and need windows installed (or any handyman services), do yourself a favor and call Palmer Handymedics. They’re reliable, skilled, honest, and deliver excellent results. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to family and friends.

Christopher Browder, Wasilla, AKDavid's a true professional in every respect....he's extremely knowledgeable and very professionalDavid's a true professional in every respect....he's extremely knowledgeable and very professionalWe had such a great experience with Palmer HandyMedics, especially using their Honey-Do-List option while getting our house ready to sell. Honestly, it was one of the best decisions we made—they knocked out all those little (and not so little) projects that had been piling up, especially the items that came up on our inspection, and it made a huge difference. Keaton was so kind and easy to work with, and he did a really great job on everything. Dave and the rest of the crew were just as awesome—it genuinely felt like we were working with friends we’ve known forever, which made the whole process way less stressful. Working with Dave to coordinate everything was so easy, which I really appreciated during such a busy time. What I loved most about the service and experience was that I never once felt like I was being taken advantage of or talked into something we didn’t need. Their pricing also cannot be beat. They were straightforward, honest, and just really good people. I would recommend Palmer HandyMedics for anything you need done. Truly. I’m even planning to use them again to clean our home when we move out. I just wish we had found them sooner—they would have saved us a lot of time and stress over the past few years!

I will trust them with future work.Excellent, their word is as good as their work. Thanks, a lot.David did a great job helping us with our kitchen sink and plumbing issues. From the start, he had great communication and showed up ready to get everything taken care of. He was efficient, extremely friendly, and very easy to talk to. One thing I really appreciated was that he took the time to explain what he was doing and what the issue was, and he never made me feel dumb for asking questions. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was fixed properly and that we felt comfortable with the work being done before he left. It’s not always easy finding someone who is both skilled and genuinely kind, but David was exactly that. His prices were also very reasonable, especially for the quality of work and care he puts into what he does. Overall, just a really good guy and a great handyman. I’m very happy with the service and he will definitely be my go-to person for anything I need help with in the future. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, honest work!Dave is great in a bunch of ways. First, he's extremely competent. He'll do a great job. Second, he has some brains and understands what you're trying to do. He will work with you and make reasonable and good suggestions. Third, he will save you money. Lots and lots of money. We had an old water heater that went out, which was a real problem because we have baseboard heat. So, we really needed a water heater. We had a quote from our heating company and Dave said he could beat the quote. He got us a continual hot water heater, installed, for about $4K less than what we had been quoted. Work was top notch. We have hired Dave for several projects, not the least of which was replacing the hot water heater. A major project was renovating our garage. His work was great but a lot of it was during the winter, which meant that there were a number of people who were calling about heaters and issues with their house affected by the cold. When we needed a hot water heater, our work went to the top of the list. When it's January and some of the garage needs to be finished, work for others that is really important in the Alaska winter (like water heaters and other issues) went to the top of the list. I suppose I could bitch about that but I also recognize that the time line of my garage being finished isn't a matter of life and death. Fixing someone's heat or hot water or other matters can be life or death in an Alaska winter. I figure it's better to have a really competent handy man with a conscience than making sure my garage is his A#1 priority. So when his timeline for finishing our garage gets delayed because he's fixing the heat on an elderly couple's house, I don't worry. All in all, Dave's done excellent work. He's also been completely up front and 100% honest and done a great job. I've recommended him to friends of ours who are older and need real help because I know he will do a competent job and be honest about his services. That is, I know he will do a good job and I don't have to worry about him overcharging them. My wife and I are already discussing our next projects with him. I don't know if I can give a higher recommendation than that.+0Thank you Dave for doing such a great job putting my living room items together and going above and beyond to make sure my wall hanging was very secure. Definitely going to have you on speed dial! Wonderful service!Orignally contacted Palmer Handy Medics for my honey do list. I was confused by the AI assisted voice mail... I am glad we made a connecting. BUT...before my honey do stuff, I went on vacation with my son. We were out of town when my son started seeing trespassers on his ring camera. So, a little bit of a strange call I guess to Not really be there to see what was happening, but Palmer HandyMedics made a visit, and was able to put up temporary fencing, and No trespassing signs to assist in this issue until he got home. The service was very timely, very fare price and much appreciated since we only knew what was happening by the ring camera. THANKS. I will use Palmer Handy Medics Again. Adding to my honey do list and will contact you soon.dave came with a helper and was in and out in no time. another quality job from palmer handy medicsDavid and his crew are a great resource, responsive, and do quality work. I have enjoyed working with Palmer HandyMedics.Billing is sloppy. Original invoice was paid in full on the day received. Two weeks later got a "late payment " notice claiming another $250 owed! Doubled the cost, which turned it from a reasonable price into the usual absurd charge. Never again.Installed a sensory swing for our disabled child. Did a great job and communicated very well.Highly recommend! Palmer HandyMedics came by to discuss some projects and ended up fixing an issue the same day! David was knowledgeable and shared ideas, but also listened to customer requests. He definitely didn’t have to fix the issue, but I really appreciated it! That kind of service is hard to find!Dave is a lifesaver. There is nothing he and his team can’t do. He is smart, innovative, diligent and his pricing is very fair. If you need anything done to or around your house (and done well) this is the guy you should call.Dave and his company are a life saver. I don't know of anything he can't do. He is diligent, pays attention to the smallest of details and his pricing is fair.

I highly recommend him.Dave went out of his way and did more than whats expected to prep my house for sale. Best, most qualified handy man I have ever worked with.Great service and great repair. Good communication from start to finish. Reasonable pricing. Definitely recommend.came and did a TV wall hang for me. was on time, very knowledgeable and professional. Will definitely use again very soon!David's building and repair skills are top notch. He is very responsive and diligent. His pricing is great. He replaced some broken tile in a bathroom. He was fast, efficient and clean! Highly recommend!Super easy to work with! Down to Earth, didn't try to advantageously upsell me and totally talked with me honestly about design/ build safety and winter reliability. I contracted with Dave because I've seen his work in a few different houses, and people were always pleased with his work during the process and afterward. Prices were competitive but he works so fast/ efficiently, I bet I paid less than I would have paid another contractor.Palmer Handy Medics built us an amazing deck & also an outhouse & AND they finished our cabin's electrical system including generator transfer switch. They're the jack & jill of all trades! Highly recommend. Reliable, affordable & nice folks!
