I've used Lawrence twice now to hang TV's in two apartments; both were great experiences. He's extremely professional and clearly cares about doing the job right. Definitely recommending him to friends.

I'm pretty disappointed with my experience. My apartment's toilet bowl was not flushing properly, and each flush sent water up the bathtub drain.Lawrence came over with a water vacuum and spent hours sucking up water from the tub, walking it through my apartment (and spilling drain water all over the floors and hallway rug), pouring it onto the street curb, and repeating the process. When the tub was finally close to empty, he immediately started pouring really intense chemicals (that got so hot it smoked) down the drain. After a while, that didn't seem to be working, so he started trying to snake the drain, but wasn't able to get the snake very far. He didn't own an electric snake, so after a few hours, he went to the Home Depot to buy one, and started using that on the tub drain.Finally, even though no progress seemed to have been made (the drain wasn't emptying at all), he tried flushing the toilet again, which immediately fully refilled the tub. This was really depressing.So what did he do? He started the hours-long process of vacuuming up the water, again. Midway through, he tried to snake the drain and the toilet again, with no effect.Finally, I said enough is enough, if you don't think you can fix this, let's just call it a day. At this point, he picked up the trash lying around, wiped down a few surfaces of the disaster-area bathroom with a damp rag that was lying on the floor, and said that he would charge me $300 for the time spent. I was exhausted, and just wanted this to be over, so I said ok.It took me hours to clean up the apartment, my bathtub had (and still has) a lot of dark stains from the chemicals he used, which I still can't remove, and the plumbing still wasn't working.The next day, my landlord sent some new plumbers. They took one look at the half-full bathtub, put down cardboard on the bathroom floor, removed the toilet, used a machine for a few minutes, and within half an hour, they said they were done. The bathtub was empty, the toilet flushed, there was no mess, everything was good.Lawrence is a nice person, but he is not a plumber. Maybe he could fix a dripping faucet, but if you have an actual plumbing problem, call a different company. After seeing how easily the other plumbers fixed the problem, I feel pretty cheated out of $300, and if I could get the money back, I would. (He hasn't responded to my attempt to contact him about this.) He should not offers services for plumbing jobs like this.

Had a wonderful experience with Choice Green Handyman Service. I had some work done on repairs on my apartment walls. Lawrence quoted me a flat fee for the work regardless of materials and time. I had sent a million yelp messages out to different businesses and he quoted me the most competitive price.He did a great job and went way beyond what was expected, even fixing a loose door hinge for me. What was also quite nice is that he was very friendly but also careful to make sure my dog did not get close to any toxic materials. I would 100% recommend this company for any type of repairs. Lawrence was flexible with timing and communicated efficiently, answer my laundry load of questions patiently and precisely. Thanks, Lawrence!!

Lawrence did an excellent job installing my window air conditioner at my new apartment in Murray Hill.  He was very nice and helpful.  He was able to figure out how to fit my large air conditioner into a tight window and showed me how to take care of it.  Highly recommended!  Will call again for any more projects I need help with.3/11/17 - Another great job by Lawrence and Kevin today.  They mounted my 40" TV at my apartment, and it looks great!  A+ service.  Easy to call and schedule an appointment.  Will call again next time!

Turns out Laurence from Choice Green Handyman was a great "choice." Here's why: I had a "work-in-progress" that I wanted to suspend from the ceiling over my bed, sort of a canopy.  The sculpture is composed of sturdy plastic pieces that are attached to each other to form a porous wall. I first saw this on display in Vitra Design Store in Meatpacking and loved it!  Long story short, I built the "wall" but needed to get it hung. Not as easy as it might seem since, as I was soon to discover, concrete ceilings are extremely difficult to drill holes into.  Here's where Laurence came in.  Through Yelp, I contacted a number of establishments. All gave me quotes, mostly low.  Hmmmm, knowing what I was facing with the ceiling (again, sort of) I chose Lawrence simply because he didn't "lowball " me and knew what to do with the damn concrete ceiling!  Key!Needless to say, two visits later, which included another visit to the hardware store along with a winter storm interlude, Laurence came back with his high-power drill and got the iffy (at best) job done. He also tied the sculpture to the hooks using not very cooperative plastic wire...awful to work with. Well, tada, love the finished product!! Here's a :
