About Get an Eric, LLC
Get an Eric, LLC is a Chicago-based renovation and general contracting company serving homeowners across Chicago and the North Shore. We specialize in well-managed home renovations, remodeling projects, and professional handyman services built around clear communication, skilled craftsmanship, and realistic expectations.
How “Get an Eric” Started
Before Get an Eric, LLC existed, founder Eric Marie was running a successful handyman business in Chicago under the name The Handy Frenchman. While working with a large national vacation rental company, one of their building managers recommended his work by saying:
“You need to get an Eric.”
That phrase stuck. What started as a referral quickly became a brand.
As demand grew, Eric expanded the business beyond basic handyman services, adding a painting team, licensed plumbers, and certified electricians to support larger renovation and remodeling projects. Get an Eric, LLC was officially launched to serve homeowners and property managers who wanted reliable professionals they could trust.
From Handyman Work to Full Renovations
Today, Get an Eric, LLC focuses primarily on home renovations and remodeling, including kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and whole-home projects. Our handyman services remain available for smaller repairs and maintenance tasks, but renovations are the core of what we do.
This renovation-first approach allows us to:
Plan projects properly from the start
Coordinate multiple trades through one contractor
Reduce delays and unexpected issues
Deliver durable, code-compliant results
Whether the job is a full remodel or a smaller repair, the same standards apply.
Built on Trust, Reputation, and Results
Get an Eric, LLC has been recognized as one of the Best Handyman Services in Chicago by HandymanReviewed.com and has appeared in national media as an industry expert.
More importantly, our reputation has been built through consistent results and word-of-mouth referrals from homeowners, property managers, and repeat clients who value reliability and integrity.
