Sean was prompt, communicative, and honest about what was and was not in his wheelhouse. Would recommend.

What our clients are buzzing about.
Prompt, professional, detail-oriented service on every project, big or small. Here’s what homeowners and businesses say about working with The Worker Bee.
Shawn from Worker Bee arrived as promised and in just one hour installed the hardware and the curtains for three different windows in my new apartment. He even vacuumed afterwards. I am totally pleased with his work.

We had a great experience with The Worker Bee. Caden was excellent to work with and did a really nice job finishing out our new closet, troubleshooting and fixing our ceiling fan, and installing a fairly complicated bathroom exhaust fan/light. Everything came together really well, and we’re especially happy with how the closet turned out now that it’s fully set up and in use. Communication throughout the process was excellent, both from Caden onsite and Shawn in the office. We really appreciated the frequent updates and overcommunication so we always knew where things stood. Professional, dependable, thorough, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely use The Worker Bee again.

Recently had to hire Worker Bee to repair a flooding issue caused by a plumber. I called Shawn and he was immediately receptive and was able to schedule services in a couple weeks. He was responsive, communicative, flexible and easy to work with. Caden visited my home a few times to complete the repairs, and was equally kind and respectful, and made sure to check in and ask questions when needed. He left my home clean after every visit and when the project was complete. Their prices were reasonable and fair, and I'd highly recommend them to future homeowners. Thank you!

The Workerbee guys did an amazing job fixing an old rickety porch, making it look brand new! They were very pleasant and responsive, and their work was meticulous and very well done. It was a swelteringly hot day, but they worked tirelessly and were determined to finish the job. The work space was nicely cleaned up afterward, also. I have already scheduled more projects for them to complete and will be recommending them to all my friends. Outstanding!!
TLTerri LindenGoogle review
Fair pricing, pleasant handyman, great work, generally good communication, aside from a little snafu toward the end, but they made everything right. If they couldn't do the job, they suggested another company which could. The person who came to us multiple times was receptive to a quick last minute task like helping move something. Highly recommend.

Shawn and Cayden did an amazing job with some home projects I was looking to get done including vent fan installation, tv mounting and an over the range microwave install. Very friendly and professional and highly recommend their work for home projects!
TBTerry BradfordGoogle review
Highly recommend The Worker Bee for home repairs. We had a few things around the house that needed to be fixed so we called Shawn. He sent Caden to our house who was very friendly and professional. Upon arrival he did a walk through to determine the best plan of attack to fix everything. He started with a drywall job so that could settle while he worked some other things. We had him repair an outlet, two doors, our garage door, and an entire shower set. Then he finished up the drywall job. He was incredibly efficient and moved right from one job to the next. We really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you need anything done around the house, definitely call The Worker Bee!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Shawn and Cadan taking care of our small projects. We had some water damage and a couple of other sheetrock related tasks needed. The estimate was fair based only on pics sent via text. Cadan came promptly on the day scheduled with a text in advance to let us know when he would arrive. Two of the projects turned out to be a little more extensive than expected so a one day project turned into two but again, communication was stellar and he was very prompt. There were a few very minor concerns that I discussed with Shawn and he immediately offered resolutions. Very happy with their work and highly recommend them.

Shawn was great to work with. He did a great job on the projects I needed help with. Saved me money with materials and gave me a great price for labor. He is courteous, knowledgeable and prompt. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a helping hand
MEMary Ellen RobertsGoogle review
Shawn was spot on! Kept me updated from the time he and his helper Caden arrived which was promptly at 8am. They installed and anchored a 12 by 12 gazebo. Shawn was very professional and very friendly. So was his helper , Caden. I will be calling Shawn again for work we may need done in the future. In all honesty, I won’t call on anyone else.

My company will be hiring Shawn over and over again for all our handyman needs. He goes above and beyond to ensure that everything is done professionally and timely, no matter the project. He is professional, honest, and understanding. Thanks so much!

Shawn and his team are responsive, skilled, professional and friendly. Every interaction has been positive and my home is more functional and beautiful because of their work. Wholeheartedly recommend!
LSLynna SchaeferGoogle review
I hired the firm for some maintenance work in bathroom. Cadan came in the morning and fixed the shower door and flooring. Interaction with Cadan was a wonderful experience. I will definitely hire him/firm for any future projects. The owner, Shawn is a wonderful person to work with, who scheduled the project as promised. 👍

Shawn was kind friendly. If he had questions he asked. If I had questions he answered, right away. He repaired a step put in 11 years ago and it is better now than the original. Everything sturdy. Love it. Could not get any better!

At Worker Bee Services, we believe in honest, transparent pricing. Our estimates are always flexible. If your project wraps up sooner than expected, you’ll only pay for the time we’re there. And if the job needs a little more time, we’ll communicate that with you and bill accordingly. Either way, you can trust that you’re being charged fairly.
