There always comes a time when a job pops up, requires skill way beyond what we ourselves have, and is perhaps time sensitive...maybe you just want it DONE. Stress Less appeared on my screen and I jumped. Too good to be true, I said to myself. Wrong. Don is creative, highly experienced, a fantastic communicator, positive, does every job better than you thought it could be done. Don is a fixture in our neighborhood now. When you see his work, you'll say wow.

I have called Stress Less Handyman several times over the past year and the quality of the work has always been top notch. He is not only a highly skilled handyman, but he is also someone you trust to be in your home and he is respectful of your time. I've even recommended him to my parents and neighbor, and now they are also happy customers!

Stress Less Handyman is the perfect name for this business because that's exactly what Don does: he removes all the stress and worry about the 101 projects that need to get done in your home but never do, either because you don't have the time, the skills, or the expertise to complete them.

I have been looking for this type of service for years, and was so happy someone recommended Don. He is prompt, efficient, thorough, friendly, helpful and also very, very neat.

 It is such a pleasure to walk in my house now and enjoy all the improvements. Don is a gem, and I am so grateful for all the work he's done in my home. I would very highly recommend his services.

We have had two projects done by Stress Less Handyman and we are beyond happy with the results. We had our half bath beautifully redone and a door and storm door replaced. Don works with the utmost professionalism, starting with the estimate right through to job completion. We will definitely trust Stress Less Handyman for future jobs and we highly recommend their services.

I recently contracted with Don Rothwein (aka the Stress Less Handyman) to build a small replacement deck/back stairs at my house in Valatie. Having known Don for years through our mutual involvement with a local civic group, I didn't hesitate to hire him for this project. He is a man of great integrity, a perfectionist by nature, and as it turns out, an excellent builder! He went beyond the call of duty at various points, tirelessly working long days to complete the job. I would not hesitate to hire him again for future projects.

We have had Don and Stress Less Handyman to our house multiple times.

When putting our house on the market, Don installed the sliding barn door for the master bath my husband had been trying to get to for 4 years. If only we had called Stress Less sooner, I might have gotten to enjoy it myself!

When our storm door got caught in the wind, and ripped the mounting hardware out, cracking the frame, I was sure we were looking at a huge project and replacing the whole frame. But nope! Stress Less was able to do a simple repair.

My husband and I both work full time, have 3 young boys, and are not the handiest folks on the block. We cannot recommend Stress Less Handyman enough. They are professional, courteous, and reliable. It says it right in their name!
