Eric "Guy" Wong

My name is Eric and I own The Useful Guy, LLC, a Handyman and Home Improvement Solutions business. After 20 years of doing handy things for friends and family, they finally convinced me to start a business. I worked in Biotechnology Sales and Customer Service for almost 17 years, and learned the value of being good to your customer - call people back, show up on time, and do what you say you are going to do. I focus on doing small repairs, fix-its, and projects as well as custom woodworking and plantation shutters. Please give me a call if you'd like to pare down that ToDo list!

Testimonials

"Eric did an absolute beautiful job installing our sink. Faced with many challenges, Eric showed great patience and problem solving to get the sink we wanted to fit perfectly. He cleaned the entire area when finished, kept it clean while working and explained everything before leaving. Thanks Eric for doing such a superb job!"
--Dana L.

"I would highly recommend Eric. He replaced some doors and weatherstripping for me. Very courteous, reasonably priced, attentive to detail and a big one in my book... prompt! I will definitely use him again. Thanks Eric!"
--Shannon P.

"Based on my experience with The Useful Guy, LLC, and owner Eric Wong, I enthusiastically recommend this handyman service. Eric recently completed some drywall repair and painting at our home in Castle Pines. The work is of very high quality with the patched area being indistinguishable from the original wall. Eric provided excellent customer service in terms of the timeliness of his work and his communications with us. His prices are reasonable, and I was left with the sense that I had received very good value for money. I recommend The Useful Guy, LLC, without reservation."
