What we do

Six things, done properly. If it needs a tool and a van, it is probably us.

Outdoor living

Pergola, gazebo, shed and playset kits, assembled and left freestanding — from a flat-pack gazebo to a cedar pergola kit. Patio furniture too. This is the work we are best known for. Anchoring to a slab or footing is for the owner to arrange.

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 labour & assembly

Loading, unloading, packing and in-building moves by insured Hippos with the right equipment. You supply the vehicle; we supply the labour. Certificate of insurance provided for your building before we arrive.

Patio furniture shrink wrapping

We clean it, treat the cushions, and shrink wrap the whole set in marine-grade film — the same material used to winterize boats. It comes through the winter dry, and you are not buying it again in the spring.

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.
  • Over thirty tradespeople. Independent pros who work with us, not a lead-generation middleman passing your details to a stranger.
  • Straight pricing. The labour is priced before we start, materials are separate, and anything else we find is priced with you first.

Optional, but it gets you a far better price. Up to four files, about 7 MB in total – if you have more, paste a link below.

What happens next: you’ve told us what and when, so we come back with a price the way you asked — text, WhatsApp or email. No phone tag. If the price works, a deposit confirms the date and holds it for you; until then the day stays open to everyone else. Want it today? Call — we answer 24 hours.
No obligation, no sales calls. We quote and you decide.
