What Our Clients Are Saying
"I have found the best handyman ever! I can't say enough about Darrell and his son Matt. I needed a shower vent and light replaced. Gave him a call, he came over and looked at the job, and gave me a very reasonable estimate. He lives right here in the Polo Fields, does high quality work, and is reliable and professional. Give him a call. You will be glad you did."

"Maintenance Alternatives ROCKS!!! Darrell Holladay, Matt and George did an excellent job of putting together our gazebo. I highly recommend them. Not only did they do fine work, but Darrell was flexible and dependable. Prices were also reasonable. We will definitely call them again when we need something done right."

"I highly recommend Darrell from Maintenance Alternatives. He power washed my driveway, sidewalk, back patio, and wood deck. Also stained and painted my wood deck and everything looks beautiful! He repaired some pieces of furniture for me too. He is reliable, very fair pricing, and has attention to details. I keep hiring him- so I hope everyone finds this helpful. He is wonderful!!!!"
"They power washed and stained our deck and did a great job. They are extremely reliable and trustworthy. We were out of town, so it was nice to know we had someone we could trust while we were away. Very reasonable with their pricing. I would HIGHLY recommend Darrell and Matt."
-Shannon B.

"We won't use ANYONE else for our home projects."
Matt B.
Maintenance Alternatives', Darrell Holladay, just completed a job for us and I must say, did a good job and showed up, on time, as committed. I originally had Lowe's contractors scheduled and they cancelled out and rescheduled us 5 times. I got fed up with the poor customer service and reached out to Darrell, whom I found his name on Next Door's website as a recommendation from another satisfied customer. He also quoted the job, costing us less than Lowe's. I would recommend contacting Darrell if you have any handyman jobs needing done.
