Is there something about this ad that doesn't seem right?

Alex is the best handyman in our region by a country mile. He has provided his services to me over the past 2 to 3 years and is, amongst other things, my constant gardener. Alex can turn his hand to anything: plumbing, electrics, drainage, carpentry - and completes every job with kindness, consideration and professionalism. Alex gets my highest recommendation. You will be completely satisfied with any work he undertakes for you.

Happy to have Alex in my home. Professional approach and strong sense of attention to detail - was slightly concerned this might make the job take longer, but all ok.

Alex came to my house for three days, the first two days were for gardening. He helped me cut the grass and mowed the lawn, which was overgrown as the garden was unmaintained for one whole year.
And the third day was to unlock my front door, the cylinder was too old so the key couldn’t turn it to open. Alex unlocked the door, changed the cylinder and night latch, he also fixed the doorframe that came off and painted the wall which had part of wallpaper peeled off around the doorframe.
Everything Alex did was really helpful and professional, I was so glad that he was able to come over and solve my problems. He’s done a brilliant job and definitely knew what he was doing. Apart from his fantastic work, Alex is also a great person - very kind, friendly and passionate, trying his best to help - people who have him to work with them are lucky. I will pass his number to everyone I know when they’re in need.
