Testimonials

  • “A big thank you to Duncan at Digital Handyman for his professionalism and communication while working on an access control project for one of our clients. He went above and beyond in handling the installation and took the initiative to make sure the entire system was working properly, and the client was satisfied. He even went over and above in purchasing some additional hardware that was not provided by the client. I highly recommend Duncan and certainly look forward to hiring him again!
