Is platinum 5 star an option? We had such a difficult time getting anyone to call back, commit, or even show up until we found Sly. He is prompt, communicative, and his work is stellar. Above all else, he's a genuine person, honest, and legit completed a list of tasks quicker than expected with attention to all the details! Could not be more satisfied!

Sylvester did an outstanding job hanging our new chandelier. He was polite, courteous, professional, and his quality of work was excellent. He took the time to move our furniture out of the way, put everything back when he was finished, and cleaned up the entire work area. It's refreshing to work with someone who takes such pride in his work and respects your home in the process. Highly recommended! As a Realtor, I'll absolutely be recommending Sylvester to my clients.

Sly is the man! He has helped us on a few different projects and knocked them all out of the park! He's done ceiling fans, a dining room chandelier swap, and also helped us with various power issues with outlets around the house. He even took care of a power box outside. He can do it all! We love Sly and we will certainly be using in again in the future.

I was having an issue with my garbage disposal. Sly Residential responded promptly and resolved the problem within a few hours. I am greatly appreciative, would recommend, and would use again.

Nicole W.

I had a very positive experience with Sly Residential. Within approximately 2 hours of my garbage disposal was back up and working and did not need to be replaced. He was friendly and courteous.

Judi H.

Sly Residential went above and beyond for fixing all 6 of my wonky doors! He accommodated every last minute request I had and I couldn't be happier. Will definitely hire again!

Nicole P.

Door Repair

Sly Residential came out and fixed a very tough electrical issue. It was tough to figure out at least but my guy Slean never gave up on tracking down the problem until he found it and then fixed it. Thank You Slean for all the trouble shooting you did and not giving up on finding and fixing the problem. I highly recommend Sly Residential to anyone.

Reached out and was able to get SLY residential to come out next day and replace 2 broken outlets. Very quick and easy to schedule, work was wonderful. Would hire again when needed.

I sent a message at 6am about getting a deadbolt lock replaced on my front door and Sylvester responded within minutes and was able to come out same day to replace my lock. He also noticed that the latch on my other lock was slightly off and repaired that. He was very professional and communicated with me every step of the way.

Sly quickly fixed my door lock so that the door was able to close. In contrast, another provider estimated that I needed to buy a whole new door.

Sly did an outstand job. He worked in a very professional manner at installing my ceiling lamp. He did a through inspection of my electrical box in my ceiling to assure it was to code and that it could maintain the weight of my ceiling lamp. He was very knowledgeable. I would recommend Sly to any one, also his price was very reasonable.
