What we do
Five things, done properly. If it needs a tool and a van, it is probably us.
Handyman & repairs
TV mounting, shelving, doors, railings, flooring, painting, plumbing fixtures, fixture swaps and the long list of small jobs nobody else will take on.
Furniture assembly
Residential and commercial, at any scale. Bedroom sets, office desks, storage systems — delivered flat, built properly, packaging taken away.
Commercial fit-out
Office installs across Manhattan and the boroughs. Workstations, casegoods, conference rooms and reconfigurations, worked around your building’s access hours.
Moving & storage
Office relocations and residential moves, with insured crews and the right equipment. Certificate of insurance provided for your building before we arrive.

Why people keep calling us back
- Fully insured. General liability and business owner’s cover through biBERK, a Berkshire Hathaway company. Certificates issued to your building or managing agent on request, usually the same day.
- A real, registered business. Handy Hippo is the registered trade name of Hippo Consulting 999 LLC, an active New York limited liability company.
- Our own crews. Over thirty tradespeople, not a lead-generation middleman passing your details to a stranger.
- Straight pricing. You get a number before we start, and it is the number you pay unless you change the job.
