What Customers Say
“If you need a reliable, knowledgeable handyman in Minneapolis, look no further than Phil the Builder. Since we moved to Kingfield last year, he has handled everything for us -- from foundation-saving drainage work and landscaping to installing a beautiful new glass shower door. Phil treats every job, big or small, with total dedication. He's highly knowledgeable and will always give you an honest, expert opinion on the best way to get things done. He's helped us bring several visions to life, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.”

“Phil is friendly, honest, and reliable. He has done a few smaller projects for me so far and I am happy with the results. I have a few larger projects lined up with him and am happy to have finally found someone so experienced and reliable. I have often experienced being taken advantage of due to my limited knowledge (and gender 🤷♀️) and innate kindness. Phil has never done this! He goes out of his way to make sure I understand what needs to be done and all of the options — not just the most expensive ones. One of the most rewarding parts of hiring Phil is that I am supporting A VETERAN 🇺🇸 build his business!”
