We worked with ABC Handyman, John, on a bunch of projects around the house, and he did an awesome job from start to finish. He tore down an old closet and removed a door to give us a flat back wall for a new built-in, framed and drywalled around a lava rock wall so we could install an AC unit, and covered up a CMU wall to give it a clean, smooth look. He also helped with a few smaller fixes along the way without any fuss. He showed up on time, worked quickly, and paid close attention to the details. The work areas were kept tidy every day, and he explained what he was doing so we always knew the plan. What stood out most was how versatile and skilled he is--he handled framing, drywall, and finish work all in one go. He's easy to talk to, gives honest feedback, and genuinely wants the end result to look good. We're really happy with how everything turned out and will definitely be calling him again for future projects. Highly recommend. read more

My partner and I recently purchased our first condo in town and we wanted to update our old popcorn ceilings to a beautiful skim coat. Our new home is roughly 500 sqft and we had a tight, 2-week moving window. We're so grateful to find Johnny, with ABC Handyman Hawaiʻi. He was punctual, meticulous, and we are so HAPPY with the results! I shopped around and received quotes from 6 different handyman, paint, and ceiling restoration companies and Johnny responded to me super quickly and ran through the end-to-end process of work to be done. My partner and I were sold by how detail-oriented he was in explaining the materials he would use and all the safety considerations we should pay attention to as new homeowners. Our goal was to get a high quality, skim coat ceiling that matched our walls and Johnny delivered. He ended up skimming 16 gallons of drywall compound onto our scraped off ceiling, he did the priming and painting, plus he did all the repairs on the wall and helped us reinstall lights and other ceiling fixtures. He also spotted that our kitchen cabinets were barely hanging on by a loose screw and made time in his schedule to secure those for us as well! We really enjoyed working with ABC Handyman, we wanted the best and we got the best. Mahalo Johnny! read more

Great company, did an amazing job on my walls. Did everything promised and skim coated with the color i wanted.

I've been in the service industry for over 50 years. It has been my contention that reviews are not written, they are earned. John responded to my request for a quote within 5 minutes of my posting the request. He provided a quote to repair drywall that was damaged by a water pipe break in the building. We were able to agree to a price and a scheduled work date all within an hour of my request. He showed up on the scheduled day and provided the agreed to services. He was thorough and kept to the quoted costs. He and Cliff delivered services that exceeded my expectations. I am completely satisfied with his work, and I highly recommend his services. If you want clean work done at a reasonable price, delivered on time and on budget then John is your man. He has earned my endorsement. read more

John did a phenomenal job on our condos. We initially hired him to set the wallpaper in our bathroom and soon after realized he had an attention to detail unlike other carpenters on O'ahu. He's done plenty more work for us since then including drywall installation, mudding and painting, mounting cabinet fixtures, etc. He's skilled in locating and repairing flaws and ultimately our places turned out incredible. He always showed up on time and got right to work with a good attitude and a friendly demeanor. His detailed and thoughtful care for his work on our projects has proven his services invaluable to us. Mahalo nui loa John for all your help! read more

First of all, John thank you so much for your service. I strongly recommend this business. I asked him to remove my townhouse's metal window security bars. He answered the phone until 9pm at night and very friendly. I sent the photos via email and he replied promptly. I got an estimate next day it was reasonable. He came to do a job next two days and showed up on time. He had a helper with him and both were very efficient and professional. I definitely ask him again if I need a handyman. read more

Needed John to hang special wallpaper, sequentially. He is a master at this! Definitely recommend his services and expertise.

Exceptional service and pleasant to work with! John came over to find out why my sliding door was getting stuck. After removing the main door, he cleaned, repaired, and adjusted everything. Now my door works like brand new! Highly recommended! read more

Terrible customer service from a very unprofessional bigot. I would never recommend him or any of his employees . If I could give him a negative star rating I would. Do not do business with them. read more

John is precise, on time, organized, friendly, efficiently, and charges reasonable price. It was a pleasure working with John, and we won't hesitate using him in the future. I called John to repaint my entire apartment. He replied the same day, and was ready to start the next day. He came to our place and suggested a few other very reasonable things to fix and upgrade; those were the things we wanted to do, but didn't think to ask him, for example, our balcony glass door was so rusted, it is nearly impossible to open. John was able to change the bottom sliding rollers, and now I can slide it with one finger. So smooth! We brought all the supplies he asked, and got him started right away. To find someone reliable to start right away was unheard of! The apartment looked amazing when John finished. This job was estimated to take 1 week for a few other handyman companies that we called, but only took 2 days for John, and on top of painting, John did much more...he removed my rusted door knob that other handyman had trouble doing so, install fire alarm, changed ceiling and bathroom light fixtures, changed 9 wall electric switch plates, fixed water damages and bubbles on the wall, and hang my 40 inch TV on the wall. The way he hang the TV was very nice, the wire went behind the wall, so you don't see the wires, which looked so clean and nice! The apartment looked refreshed, clean, bright and bigger; better than we expected, and for a very reasonable price! read more

Living in Hawaii, it is hard to find Competent, Professional, and affordable Handyman services. Well with ABC Handyman, you get all three. I had a water leak from upstairs condo neighbor which ruined the drywall in my bathroom ceiling and then had some other drywall holes. I called John on 17 Mar and 19 Mar did the work needed. The ceiling looks better then before water leak and he left the work space nice and clean. Please see the enclosed photos. WORK: Amazing PRICE: Reasonable, considering short notice availability AND Level of work. TIME: On time and completed as described. John is a professional and I will be hiring again, soon. Due to COVID-19 he adhered to COVID-19 precautions: wearing a masking and keeping his distance. I will also be recommending ABC Handyman to friends. I normally do not do that. read more

We had a plumbing disaster in our condo (cracked pipes, leaking behind the wall affecting several floors), and the plumbing company had to cut holes in our bathroom wall behind the toilet and in the ceiling above the shower (see and after before pics), with jagged broken edges, mix of metal and drywall. And some of it was in very tight spaces (behind the toilet). John came to the rescue, and was "on it" immediately, not letting up until everything was totally perfect (see after pictures). John obviously cares about the quality of his work; greatly appreciated! read more

My condo's transformation would not have been complete without John's masterful work of making the walls looking as good as new!! Thanks for making sure all the corners are covered ....literally!! I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing a skillful paint job. Also he needed to come back to do some more work on my patio door where the AC pipe was coming through. He made sure that the gaps were totally covered up and he was creative enough to make the coverup looking good too. read more

Contacted John about hanging two flatscreen TVs on tough walls (was turned down by a number of other handymen). He came equipped with the right set of tools and worked hard to get the TVs hung so they looked great. What we really appreciated about him was his focus on quality (doing it right, making it look really good) and keeping everything clean (vacuuming multiple times, setting up tape to catch dust as he drilled holes, etc.). Fair pricing and really good work! read more

I had a leak in my bathroom that was seeping into my downstair neighbor's condo. The plumber came back 4 times and changed something each time, with my neighbor still complaining about a leak. This was a nightmare I thought would never end. After a month had passed and the plumbers made a huge hole in the ceiling, I needed to find someone to fix the drywall. I wasn't looking forward to hassling with a drywall person, so I turned to Yelp to help me find someone. I was so lucky to find John! He asked for a picture of the damaged ceiling and gave me an estimate, and showed up right on time. (The first guy I called didn't bother to show up.). Now let me just stop here and say that John is a very pleasant man who does excellent work. Not only did he fix the ceiling beautifully, but he painted the bathroom too! My neighbor was extremely pleased with his work. If I ever need work done in my condo, I will certainly call John again. Friendly, professional, and superior workmanship. Thank you John! read more

John did an exceptional job with our apartment. He patched holes in walls and door, painted the walls and installed our window ACs. The price and timeframe quoted was great and he even finished 1 day early. He has defiantly won my recommendation and future business. Plus, it was great that the person who came out to give the quote was the same person doing the work. I am very happy with his quality of work. read more

if I could give zero stars I would. I called to have a service for my elderly clients' cabinets. He was very rude, he said he was on a job which I understand and asked if we could schedule something for after his current project. He said he would not do the job because he can't make enough money doing it! If you got a big job for him to make plenty of money off then maybe he's your guy, but he does not care about you or your situation besides how much he can make off of it. I would not recommend. read more

I have been living in Hawaii for a little over a year, decided to buy a condo. The condo has a lot of things that needs to be updated. I had read a few other reviews on Johns work and decided to give him a call. I called John and he quickly came by to look at the condo. He was super helpful on how I should go about the updates. He was very professional and very friendly. He did a great job, my lanai looks brand new! SO HAPPY! I already have another job for him the very near future and if your thinking about calling, do it. No regrets! read more

John did a really great job painting my living room. Very friendly and high quality service! Thanks!

Great job fixing our dry wall in our bathroom from a leak from the unit above. Quick, met up on time, and will definitely use him again.

Today I called John at abc handyman due to all the excellent reviews and the fact that he does a lot of work involving sliding glass doors. I left a message and was contacted soon after. My lucky day because he had a cancellation in his planned work for today so he came right over. He knew exactly what my door needed and replaced the wheels, cleaned the tracks and door frame and got it all fixed up. I was so pleased I had a second door also done while he was onsite and plan to have him back to refurbish more of my aging sliding doors soon. He is a door and drywall specialist and very experienced. He did a great job, cleaned up beautifully and was so pleasant and professional. Highly recommend him and will be using him again soon. Mahalo John. read more

Services needs to be updated if this operation does not handle all the items listed on his website. It's false advertisement to verbally state that you only do "dry wall and painting" but offer over 33 line items on the front of your website. read more

Couldn't be happier. I accidentally bumped into John in the elevator of a new condo development about 4 years ago. We briefly talked and I learned he was installing celling fans in a unit. He left such a good impression I looked him up 4 years later and had him install 3 ceiling fans in my condo. He assembled, tested, (and made sure each fan remote was on a separate channel) and completed everything in a few hours. He was professional and respectful. This is especially important during Covid times when wearing a mask is important. What I liked best about John was his pride in workmanship. He's really into his work and you could see it when he showed me the installed fans. I highly recommend John and plan to use him for future projects. read more

This was my review from YP. Don't know why I never yelped it in the past. In 2015 my company had issues with our glass screen doors. They were hard to open and close, due to the wheels grinding against the metal. We found out about John via Yelp. We have sliding glass doors and he was able to come take a look at it a day after we had called him. Let me tell you, if you have sliding glass doors and you need them repaired, it will cost you an arm and a leg. Just as advertised John can fix it for less! Indeed he did. One company told me that for them to look at what they needed to be fixed was $200 on the spot!  John did great fixing our door. Not only did he fix the issues, he also showed me what was wrong and what caused the problems. He also cleaned out the tracks for us. After doing some repair work, he went and found the parts and fixed it the same day. John's ingenuity, workmanship and friendly personality is what made his service the best. He didn't throw off the vibe that he's trying to sucker money out of us, but to really help us fix our door.  I definitely recommend John to anyone that needs work done, I'm sure he'll find some way to fix your problems. Mahalo! read more

Great experience having John and his team replace rollers on my lanai sliding glass door. They took the job on short notice and were prompt, friendly and very professional.

John is a very professional and skilled handyman. He replaced an old bathroom exhaust fan, which was very difficult to remove, to a brand new fan and fix all drywall seamlessly. When he left, everything was wiped and cleaned so we enjoyed the new clean bathroom right away. I would like to ask him again for other projects in the future. Thank you John for your service! read more

John did awesome job on my bathroom ceiling. It had years of built up from the upstairs condo leaking problem. The ceiling had multiple wood and paint bubbles throughout the whole ceiling. John plastered and paint the whole ceiling to make it look brand new. He did one awesome job!!! I would highly recommend him for any "handyman" jobs. Also like to note he fix some very small issues around my condo above and beyond what he came over to do for free and end up cutting the price he first quoted because he found an easier way to fix the ceiling. You'll be glad you hired him!!! read more

The business has so many five star reviews, and the location is so close to me. Naturally when I needed a handyman to fix my drywall, I tried to contact the business asking for a quote and availability. The first time I called he didn't pick up, so I left a message of what I wanted him to do and my contact number. A few days went by and I did not receive a call back. I figured he was probably just too busy so I called a second time, left a second voice mail, and days later still did not hear from him. So I thought Yelp probably had the wrong contact number listed, and I jumped over to the website listed and left him a message through his website's contact function, and days gone by and I still got zero response. I kept thinking maybe he was too busy, maybe he would reply later. But during the two weeks I've tried contacting him I kept hitting stone wall. So after two weeks I realized my job was probably too small for him and he just doesn't bother. Oh well. Time to move on. I'm sure his service is great, but I was not given the chance to find out myself. Review reflects my experience trying to contact the business owner ONLY. read more

My hubby hired John to install 2 TV's and four ceiling lights. John shows up with his assistant, Sean and the both of them were friendly, professional, honest and knowledgeable. They were very meticulous, thoughtful and did a fantastic job. John's prices are also reasonable but more importantly, I appreciate his stellar problem solving abilities. Instead of just saying something cannot be done, John figures out a way to make it happen. They even came back the next day to finish up since the job ran longer than expected. We'll definitely be calling them again for work in the future! read more

Cons: - A little challenging to book John due to high demand, but worth it. Mahalo John! read more

Called John on a recommendation from family. Needed someone to fix my aging condo glass sliding door which was a struggle to open. John was responsive and took care of the job promptly. You could tell he knew his way around glass sliding doors. Reset the seal and replaced the rollers. The difference is amazing. Highly recommended. Thank you John! read more

First of all, John was very responsive! Called me that morning to confirm, called when he arrived, fit me in on a weekend which was perfect for me. The most pleasant person. He installed two LED hallway lights and a dining room light fixture in no time. Then I have a bathroom fan/light fixture that he took the motor out (broken) and is going to find a replacement for me and come back. If you need a handyman, I highly recommend ABC Handyman Hawaii! Call John, he will have the solutions you are looking for and reasonably priced, too! Thanks John! I'm definitely calling him to change up what I need at my new apartment! Call him today! 722-1120 read more

Long overdue review of ABC Handyman, i was hoping to take some pictures of the repairs he performed, however my place has been totally booked up since the repair and i haven't even had a moment to take a shot of his fantastic work. I found John on Yelp, and asked if he would be able to perform some drywall repairs, within a very specific time frame, where I had my sister staying in my Condo, rather than a tenant. John was able to work with my schedule to get in and get out in a timely manner. Not only did John stick to his estimate, but he also went above and beyond to make sure my place looked fantastic after his work was completed. I will be contacting John again whenever i have repair work in my condo. Thumbs up to you John! read more
