We’ve all got home improvement projects we’ve left on the backburner. Peeling paint, wobbly deck boards, leaky faucets, and even unchanged light bulbs haunt our houses. It can be risky to try and fix these problems yourself, but finding the right professional isn’t simple either. That is, if you don’t know where to look. Lucky for you, there are six reliable, friendly, and affordable handymen waiting for you below. And the best part is, that all these businesses are Pittsburgh-based. (Let’s face it, if you don’t have a 412 area code, you can’t be trusted).

It’s likely that if you’ve found yourself on this website, you already know and love Honest Renovators. But if you don’t, prepare to fall head over heels. Honest Renovators is run by true Pittsburghers for true Pittsburghers. We’re talking about the kind of people who eat chip chop ham, know Heinz Field better than their own house, and respect the authority of a parking chair.
They have the experience, certifications, the tools, and the reviews to back them up. Plus, these guys ain’t Browns fans which is always a bonus. They represent Pittsburgh at its best: friendly, funny, down-to-earth, and, above all, hardworking. You can contact Honest Renovators via their online form, email, and you can call or text them (if you’re cool enough). And, once you get your quote, they’ll send you a free hoodie. Does it get any better? Well, since they’re committed to affordable, competitive pricing, yes it does!
Honest Renovators can do it all, including:
Honest Renovator can provide services from the top of your roof, all the way down to the foundation of your house, and even out into your yard. They’re the guys who have left hundreds of Pittsburgh customers happy and satisfied (which, if you’re from around here you know is no easy task). But there’s no harm in checking out other local businesses who are also committed to honesty, fairness, craft, and affordability. And if Honest Renovators somehow doesn’t fit your needs, one of these others businesses will. All that matters is that those fixes you’ve been sitting on for years finally get taken care of so your family can quit their nagging. That way, you can get back to doing what you love: kicking back with an Iron City beer, cheering on the Penguins, and complaining about the refs.
