These guys are excellent. I had a tricky electrical issue in my kitchen. A maintenance person from my complex had crossed and coupled wires that should not have been. The electrician came in and systematically tracked down the issue, fixed in no time. Great customer service, friendly, prompt, and affordable. I'll use them again without hesitation. read more

I'm not too sure why Andy has good reviews. I've tried using him recently and in the past and both times he doesn't seem to want to work. We have rentals and I tried using him for some doors a few years ago and he would tell me he would fix them but then never did. Finally after like a week or so he decided to tell me he wasn't going to fix them. 2-3 years forward I gave him another try on a water leak we had and he gave me every excuse so that he wouldn't have to go and at the end he said he would. When we hung up I decided to find some else as he didn't seem to want to work. I gave up and decided I would never call this man. read more

Loved the fact that Andy responsed to every text promptly despite being busy. Completed the job with great confidence, efficiency and skill. Highly recommend!!! read more

My sliding door was fixed promptly and with a reasonable price. I am pleased with the service and recommend this business for everyday repairs you don't know how to do yourself or just don't feel like doing!! read more

After searching Yelp looking for a handyman, I choose A-1 Maintenance and Andy. Boy was I glad that I chose wisely. Having been around Bakersfield for 67 years, it was good to find a reputable and knowledgeable general handyman! Andy and his workers not only completed the work in a good time frame, they were also friendly and courteous the entire time they were at my house. I had them install a very tedious resin storage shed, so this was not an easy process. When it came time for the payment, Andy stood with his quoted price, even though it took a lot longer than he anticipated. It isn't often that you find a workman as honest and trustworthy at A-1 Maintenance. Please use them for any general work around your house. read more

Andy came out on a last minute request and gave me a great price on drywalling a nightmare of a laundry room wall, closet and bathroom looked great and was accomplished in an afternoon very satisfied and will be using him on all future project Also work areas left cleaner than when he got there read more

I had to text them a few times to get them out there, but in the end, I'm so glad I went with this company. The two guys came out and immediately sprung into action WITH a fair price. I really appreciate the fast/quality work and will definitely recommend them to family and friends! read more

Seamless drywall patch work. Very informative. They were on time and worked continuously. The walls look brand new.

No follow through with bid. No follow through on communication. Recommend being honest and speak what really thinking. Some people say they will price bid high to discourage from being hired. Do that. ..................................................,.,,,, read more

Andy does a great job ! You can trust he will do the job well and follow through with his commitments. He does professional estimates and invoices for your records. Andy can do just about anything. I had Andy do numerous repairs on my rental in Bakersfield, and he is was very knowledgeable on how to fix or repair each. The renter was also very impressed with his work and work ethic. I highly recommend Andy, and will continue to use his services. read more

First time writing the review. Andy came on the same day when I called. He was honest and quoted a reasonable price to get the work done. He was unlike other guys before him, who claimed they were honest but recommended me to replace a new part, which was unnecessary. I will definitely use Andy again. read more

I called A-1 Anytime Maintenance for a plumbing leak and the installation of a new kitchen faucet. Andy was right on time for the appointment we made and he finished the job perfectly. He explained what he was doing each step of the way and patiently answered my (many) questions. Andy is friendly, personable, punctual and is highly skilled at what he does. He will definitely be my "go to" guy for future handyman needs. I'm pleased to offer A-1 Anytime Maintenance my highest recommendation. read more

Andy came the same day I called him and fixed some tiles on the roof. He did a good job for a fair price. I would highly recommend if looking for a handyman. I have used Andy again to put together a large swing set for my kids. Andy showed up on time and stayed until the job was done. Excellent work!! read more

It was probably my fault for giving him a deposit before the work was finished. He broke his promise to show up and finish the work several times. The work was that was done was OK. I would not recommend this Handyman read more

I recently purchased a rental property and needed a handyman to come out to see how they can help. Called A-1 ask asked to schedule a time for the following day to meet. Andy said he was busy but can try to make it out. I asked him if he can come out during his lunch and he said, yeah I can probably do that and to text him the info. It was agreed upon for an arrival time around 12PM. So I sent him a text, no reply for confirmation. I sent him a text the following day to confirm, again no reply. Needless to say, he never showed up on Friday. I have no idea how someone can run a business like this. Good thing I had backup handymen that actually showed up because they care about their business. read more

I have worked with Andy on a couple of different occasions. He is very professional and knowledgeable about his business. His work is consistently high quality, and his prices are fair. I trust him with all of my maintenance needs! I highly recommend giving him a call if you need any work done. read more

Reliable and consistently good work. I really appreciate Andy and his crew for any of my household maintenance needs.

Andy did a great job for us. He stayed late and finished up the job and showed up on time Prices are reasonable and he does quality work - including putting up 3 ceiling fans and a coach light. Also assembled some storage units. I would highly recommend his services! read more

Professional. Timely. Honest. Andy did a great job for me and my neighbor. I called his business and he did not answer my first call. However, he called me back in a timely manner asking me how he could help me. Shortly after, he showed up at my residence to give me an estimate to repair my broken fence as a result of the storm that came through Bakersfield Sunday. Andy gave me an awesome deal and agreed to repair the fence on an agreed date. He was prompt on the date we agreed to and finished the job quickly and efficiently. 5 stars Andy. read more

Great people, Great Job, Good prices, Happy Customer, that about sums it up. Had some major damage done to our home by the wind and rain. Andy and his team made all repairs and did a beautiful job. When dealing with a women many construction people who tend to talk down to them the guys were always respectful and kept me informed on progress. Thank you Andy and Team for a job well done you will be hearing from me the next time I need help. read more

Hmmm....how do you review someone who doesn't show up for the quote? Scheduled the appt a few days ago...I'm in a nice area so it can't be that. The 1 star is so I could just add this review. So for those of you needing fence replacement...you probably should Yelp a few vendors before just relying on the great reviews that are posted. read more

Made an appointment with Andy. We called/texted multiple times to set up and confirm it. He didn't show, didn't call. I gave him three days to contact me, then hired someone else. read more

Andy is great. We had some scheduling issues early on but once he was there, he was fast, cleaned up, and was fairly priced. I already plan on calling him again in a few weeks. read more

I had to call someone to help me finish a kitchen sink replacement. I was stuck half way thru the process and it was Sunday morning so I was worried about finding someone who would come out. I called Andy from A-1 and happened to reach him at church. However he said he would be over once after he was finished. Sure enough he showed up on time and with in 45 minutes finished my job and made it look easy. Now I have a handy man I can call for anything in the future. read more

Andy is Fantastic! I would recommend him to anyone. He shows up when he says he will. He gets the job done. He goes above and beyond. He's very knowledgable. He gave me a rough estimate onsite and an itemized estimate the next day. His prices are reasonable and the work he does is great. He communicates well and gets back to you quickly. If you need a good handyman he's the guy. I had many different kinds of projects and he handled them all. read more

Andy was awesome. I called because my heater wasn't working. He came the same day. Turns out the gas was just turned off and the heater unplugged! *Doh!* Even though he came out for the call, he didn't charge anything. I think I just found my go-to maintenance guy! read more

I called to get my locks changed after a roommate moved out without returning her keys. A-1 offered to rekey the locks instead so that I wouldn't have to spend as much. They were quick and efficient and I'll definitely call A-1 again if I need anything done at my home. read more

A-1 is great! I called and they came out right away. While at my house, I asked about a couple of ceiling fans/lights and they did those at the same time. Great service, very helpful, and great price! read more

Handy Andy and his team are well mannered and are able to handle a range of tasks from locksmith, painting, lightbulb replacing, etc...

Let me just say straight up: Andy is a life saver!! Very professional, knowledgeable, personable, honest and trustworthy (if he was a Boy Scout - the integrity and values stuck with him!) as well as on time, texting what he is doing ("buying supplies - be there in 15") and his prices were VERY reasonable Andy answered his phone on a Friday evening at 6:15 pm! He listened to my delimia with my elderly mother and right off the bat he told me -- "Don't worry - I'm on a job. Call you back in 15 mins and I can find a way to fit you in TOMORROW! And, you know what? He did! FYI: I killed my mom's mailbox and to an elderly person -- this is HUGH! Plus, her bedroom TV finally kicked it and while I can buy a new one - I just can't install it much less move the gargantuan one she currently has. Also, she has a short in her dining room lights and Andy hooked us up with an electrician. I didn't even have to call - he set up the next appointment for us. He went the extra, extra, extra Mille to help my mother and with very short notice and made time for a small job on a Saturday!! He told me he was already booked but he honestly cared that I was only here for a short time and said he completely understood how this would effect an older person. What a truly decent and thoughtful person! If you need any handyman services - Andy is your man! Like I said: Professional, honest, on time, thoughtful and great prices! Plus, a genuinely nice guy and lots of fun to be around! Thank you Andy!!!! And, review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

I booked an appointment that Andy said worked for him. Knowing how irresponsible so many tradesmen are I called Andy 30 minutes prior to the time we agreed on. He said he couldn't make it because he was "stuck on a job in Taft." Obviously, he had no intention of telling me he wouldn't be there because I live in Westchester. He asked if he could come the following day. I agreed. He no showed me again. I supposed if you have a very flexible schedule and having him actually show up is no important Andy is your guy. Just be prepared to waste a lot of your time. In my book, if a guy is this irresponsible from the get go, how will he be if you hire him? read more

I called him yesterday and he made room for us today. Andy was efficient, knowledgeable and so good at his job.. We needed a sliding glass door repaired and he had it done in about an hour and a half.. He was friendly, explained each step and highly skilled.. Will keep his number first in our phone book from now on.. read more

I needed to get a couple of last minute things done before Christmas, and Andy came through the same week and made it look easy. He was very prompt when responding to text messages and was gracious and friendly when he was here. Will definitely be the first person I call when the need arises again! read more

It's a hot July in Bakersfield right now, and we are quarantining due to this terrible virus. Trying to stretch our money, we've been using our little window Slimline Swap cooler which is a marvel! Cools my 1800 sq ft. home beautifully. Welp. The water pump died. And my big A/C unit jacks my bill up in a jiffy. Desperate, I called A-1 Handy Andy (661) 376-5737 and he came over promptly and replaced my pump in 10 minutes! Such a nice guy! Cleaned out the unit and even set my sprinkler timer control for me, as it's a new home to me and it didn't have instructions. He is now my VERY BEST FAVORITE Handy Man; decent, honest, timely, affordable, and compassionate. He reduced my bill as I am on a fixed income. I gave him a 50/50 bar (orangesicle). Bakersfield surprises me every time with the quality of folks who live here. Andy falls into this group of exceptional professionals with a heart. I will endorse him anytime. Thanks, Andy! read more

Andy and his team did a phenomenal job drywalling and painting our house.We had to have a plumber come and overhaul all of our plumbing which required taking patches of wall out.I think we had around 50 patches that required work.Andy and his team came and basically made the house look like it did when we bought it.Cant even tell there were holes in the wall and matched the paint spot on.And they even touched up some bad spots we had from previous owners and kids etc. Great work and fair price.I recommend him and his team for drywalling and painting. read more

very professional did a fantastic job. second job they have done me . Will use them again for ceiling fan repair.

My best friend and I just moved in to a house together and our adult skills are not completely up to par. The house does not have central air (which neither of us have had to deal with before), and there were swamp coolers in all of the windows. Being as its January and freezing outside having most of the windows in the house half way open was not ideal. So we started taking the coolers out, two bedrooms went perfectly. The living room however, was a bit dramatic. The swamp cooler was twice as big as the bedrooms. It took the both of us girls to carry it out to the garage, almost dropping it multiple times. We get it put up in the garage, come back inside, and the window is STUCK OPEN. Both of our body weights won't budge it. We're searching online trying to find a solution, and nothing. Being it was Saturday we started panicking thinking we'd have to keep the window open all weekend and wait for businesses to open up on Monday. Not the case. I searched maintenance in my iPhone map app, a1 maintenance popped up and I decided to see where it got me. Andy answered after two rings, and was at the house within a few hours. He fixed the window within 30 minutes, and charged a very reasonable price. He gave us a little background info on his company. It's completely family ran, even his little granddaughter helps out (you can see her eating pizza in one of the pictures posted), so cute! Although we are renting and we have a maintenance guy that is supposed to fix things for us. Andy will always be our first phone call. I know I'll rent in other places and eventually I'll buy a house, I plan on keeping a1 maintenance around for a long time. Thanks Andy!! read more

Andy was polite and responded quickly to our request for help. Andy completed several small projects for my elderly mother's house with excellence! Andy's commitment to great customer service, quality work, reasonable pricing and ease of online payment has made A-1 Anytime Maintenace my "Go to" for any future repairs. Highly recommend. read more

I regret being pushed to the point of writing this review, and frankly, cannot understand why Andy let things get to this point. Andy and his crew did some work for me in June, 2016, to ready a new property purchase for rental. Several various repairs including plumbing, fixture installation, window replacement, clean-up, etc. Andy was very responsive and the work was done efficiently and professionally. I have no complaint at all about the work. I asked Andy at least three times during the work for a written invoice for the work and the charges and he repeatedly said he would have it for me next day at the job site. That never materialized. When we met for me to give him a check in payment of the work, I told him I wanted the written paperwork before I would give him the check. He tapped away on his phone for a minute and told me it was being emailed to me as we spoke, so I handed over the check. No email ever arrived. I made a couple contacts with Andy over the next several days to which he responded that something must have gone wrong with the email and he would make sure that it got sent again immediately. Nothing has ever been received. In the time since I have left phone messages, sent text messages, and finally even wrote a hard copy letter and mailed (snail mail) to Andy's business address requesting the written invoice. No response has ever been made to any of these messages and inquiries. Frankly, I am agog that a businessman who appears to ostensibly do quality work and maintain a professional business enterprise would allow such a small detail as a written invoice grow to the point of risking tarnishing his reputation as a businessman. It's also sad in that I have had several other projects since that would have been work I sent his way had it not been for his total disregard of my invoice requests on this first project. read more

Andy was great. I have tenants that call for the tiniest stuff, things that you might even be embarrassed to ask a handyman to examine (like a battery change for a beeping alarm, or tenants who complain one part of the bathroom is dark--but don't notice that the light bulb is missing!). I called Andy, and he was as polite and gracious as anyone could be. Pointed out to them where the battery is slipped in, and noted that one small light bulb screwed into this socket will thwart darkness. Despite my whiny tenants, I knew a service call was a service call--and was prepared to bite the bullet--but Andy recognized how insignificant the job was and charged me a minuscule amount I am even embarrassed to mention. Andy is FAIR--and for a handyman that guarantees him a 5-star rating in my book! Even with my occasionally worrisome tenants--you feel that no job is too big or too small for Andy. Always comes around with a positive, upbeat attitude. He loves his work. The Go-To Guy every time! read more
