We had an issue with mice coming into our garage area and needed a handyman to help seal off the bottom of the doors. It was a tricky project because the floor was not even underneath the doors, so you couldn't just apply a sweep. We contacted multiple handymen but only Aaron insisted on coming in and discussing potential solutions. This helped us make the right decision since we knew he cared about the outcome and not just winning the job by price. We ended up having Aaron do a variety of tasks including installing deadbolts / smart locks on doors that didn't have any bolts before, adding thresholds and sealing all our lower floor doors, installing a towel rack into our shower and fixing weather stripping. This was all done at an agreed upon rate and we were very satisfied with his work, professionalism, pricing and timeliness. read more

I highly recommend Aaron. He delivers high quality work at a reasonable price, and he's become my go-to for any handyman jobs. I've hired him several times for various kinds of work like repairing problem stairs, fixing door handles, and replacing electrical fixtures. So far I haven't found a type of work around the house that he can't do, plus he's a strong problem solver and good communicator. read more

Summary: Aaron is a wizard. You will not regret hiring him for any kind of project, large or small. He'll get it done with superb integrity and style. I am the lucky beneficiary of the superb work that Aaron does, from conjuring the perfect custom closet with lighting and shelves, to fixing shoddy rooftop drainage systems, touching up paint, putting in pet doors/equipment, and installing/trouble shooting a state-of-the-art entertainment system. The list goes on. Aaron has such a gift for both simple and complex creative solutions to everyday quandaries, not to mention a real eye for the aesthetics of a proposed project. Add integrity and a wonderful capacity to explain exactly what he's doing and why... really the whole package. I am really impressed by his skills and work ethic, and could not be happier with the results of his efforts. I also appreciate how conscientious he is with cleaning up after every day so I can live in the house while he's working, sometimes for weeks at a time for more complex projects that involve knocking down walls. He's incredibly trustworthy and does a better job of locking up the house to keep out hooligans than I am, although I'll admit that this hooligan has had to climb through the pet door a few times to get back in the house. Bonus points for being great with the four dogs we have around the house. read more

A of ABC Maintenance always showed up on time, gave me a realistic estimate, and got on with the jobs. When he was finished, he tidied up and everything looked great. I never got the feeling he stalled or invented little side trips to pad the hourly charges. (Don't let me get me started on the plumber who messed up my whole 4th of July weekend!) I don't enjoy naming the simple-for-other-people tasks that I find impossibly tedious because I am just so bad at them that they make me crazy, but I will. ABC did these jobs for me at various times over 6 months: ---assembling Ikea items ---hanging pictures straight ---hanging a shelf unit nice and level and straight ---designing and replacing defective legs to my crappy couch ---routing my dvd player, my vcr and my obsolete tv thru my HD converter boxes. Don't waste your time on 6 hour windows when some flake may or may not show up to provide a service. ABC Maintenance is a reliable choice for all kinds of handyman tasks. Check it out. read more

I found ABC Maintenance by reading all the positive reviews on Yelp. We requested a quote from Aaron for replacing the corrugated panels on our roof because they were old, cracked and leaking! He replied quickly and was able to come out & look at what needed to be done, then give us his estimate. Because of his quick response, we didn't bother to get estimates from other handyman services. The weather forecast was for rain on the day that we originally scheduled so Aaron called us the day before to reschedule. He kept us informed on the time he would arrive. He came, looked over the problem areas and purchased the supplies he needed to complete the job. While working, it started sprinkling and he came to the door to let me know that it started to rain in case I wanted to put anything indoors so it wouldn't get wet. (How thoughtful!) He worked all day with no breaks until after sundown to complete the job! It was dark outside and he was still on the roof! Afterwards he cleaned up the area and took away the old panels.The new corrugated panels are stronger and it lets the sunlight comes through so the whole area brighter. We also requested the names of painters from him for another job and he recommended two different companies. After the job was completed, my husband was concerned about pine needles clogging up the drains on the roof, phoned Aaron and left him a message. Aaron was courteous enough to return the call and give him his professional opinion. If you need maintenance and handyman services, ABC Maintenance should be your choice! Thank you Aaron, you did a great job! read more

As a single woman living in San Francisco, you don't have to look far to find someone to help you with tech support. But finding someone who can deliver tech support AND who has problem solving/fix it/mechanical abilities? Virtually non existent, until I came across ABC. Mechanical reasoning of any kind is not really a strength for me, so I took for granted having had the privilege of partners in my life who were capable of doing things like put together my bookshelves and fixing doors and all that stuff. When I moved into my new place, I was single and faced with a variety of tasks that seemed insurmountable. Enter Aaron and his indispensable services. Aaron helped me to set up my stereo system (including wifi and being able to play remotely from my laptop -cool!), properly hang a 70 lb mirror on my wall without fear that it would fall, fixing a door jam and a whole host of around the house tasks that generally make my life better, all at very reasonable rates and an honest and forthright assessment. But most importantly, let's face it ladies (and gentlemen), in this day and age, there are alot of crazy peeps out there, and you just never know who you can trust (with your stuff and your personal safety). And as a woman, I'm particularly sensitive to being ripped off or having the wool pulled over my proverbial eyes. Aaron and ABC are straightforward, honest and they get the job done right. I'll definitely be using them again! read more

Although ABC Maintenance is capable of most every classic handyman service, their special value to me was their ability to solve unique or challenging assignments with an honest, cost-savings mentality just as one would do for themselves. In other words, they don't just "rip it out and start over" unless this is the best option all around. In this sense, the owner Aaron is like a business partner that you can count on for doing those things which you might not be capable of doing yourself. It is with complete confidence in his services which I write this review. read more

Aaron worked on our windows and we received excellent service, great results at reasonable rates. Highly recommend.

I contacted ABC maintenance service for a wooden furniture scratch repair after seeing good reviews on yelp. Aaron Cohick was very responsive on email and also arrived on time to do a free assessment. I did not use his service because the scratches weren't noticeable enough and didn't really deserve a repair. He suggested that and I would definitely like to praise him for his honesty. However I would like to point out that his estimate for another wood work related project was a bit pricey i.e. over $200 for the kind of work. He didn't try to cheat me out by fiddling with the furniture unnecessarily to milk money. In fact he clearly stated that it was not his area of expertise so 5 stars for that. He was friendly and polite and also knowledgeable. read more

Aaron Cohick got back to me within hours which I thought was great. He wasn't able to help me at this time because he has a backlog of work but he took the time to suggest reaching out to Cole Hardware for another recommendation. Great customer service! read more

I called Aaron at the last minute to help me put together a bunch of IKEA Items. So here is why you should work with Aaron: - He accommodates last minute requests and shows up on time - He puts things together real quick - He understands placement of furniture and advices on overall setup - He does not give up on " the bed from hell" Ikea Sultan Slats - He is reasonably priced Oh and I forget he is a good guy All in all Aaron has re-enforced my faith in the fact that you can setup an entire house in 4 hours and not lose much sleep. read more

Thank you Aaron for arriving on time and hanging an 85lb artwork in my dining room. It's been a few months since he did this job, and it's is still up on the wall :) read more

Aaron was on time, easy to communicate with and seemed to care about the projects. He installed a cat door on the side of my house, which required some problem solving about where was the best place. He also did a few other small projects for me that afternoon. He was kind, smart, skilled and easy to work with. I called him based on Yelp reviews. I will hire him again. read more

I found Aaron on yelp, and very glad I did. He is very knowledgeable, fairly priced, and did good quality work. I had several things that needed to attention in our building - door bell, water heaters and exhaust, door planing. He came over and gave an on target quote, went to the supply store to get the parts, then was back again to fix everything. He finished all these jobs in an afternoon, as well as a couple more I tacked on when he gave good advice on how to address a couple problems cheaply and effectively. I will definitely call him the next job I have. I am already planning to replace an oven - which he gave some useful advice on. read more

Aaron is professional, courteous and knows his stuff... I worked with him on designing and building some bookcases for his client and he was on top of things. Providing me a clear understanding of what he needed and wanted for his client. It was a delight to work with him and I look forward to working with him again. read more

Thank you Aaron for a great job helping me out around the house. I appreciate how easy it was to make the appointment as well as get things done. I look forward to working with you again and will definitely recommend you to friends and neighbors!! read more

Add my name to another very satisfied customer. Aaron is extremely professional, prompt and very fair. I got Aaron's contact information from Cole Hardware after four other handyman services never got back to me. I needed a door replaced and security features added to that door and another door - both exterior. He also installed new security lights. His pricing is easy to understand, has no hidden fees or small print and he honors his bid. I am so glad I found him and will use him again - in fact, he will be my first call! One word of advice to anyone calling or emailing him. He is a single proprietor business, so be patient. HE WILL call you back but it may take him a day to do so. He got back to me w/in 24 hours each time I contacted him with a question. read more

Aaron was willing to accommodate my schedule which was hectic because I was moving into a home. He did excellent work while keeping me updated as to the steps of the work and progress. He gave a valuable service for a fair price. He let me feel comfortable while I stopped to check on his work. I recommend him and his work to family and friends. read more

Here's my experience: My chair broke. I looked on Yelp and found Aaron, and based on the reviews, I decided to call him. We set an appointment for him to come out a couple of days later which was the best time for me. On the day of the appointment, he called an hour or so before our appointment time to say he could come earlier or he could come at the time we had set. It so happened that my schedule had changed and that earlier worked better for me, so he came early. That really worked well for me. When he arrived, he was polite, professional, friendly, and efficient. He had the tools he needed with him. He fixed what was broken in the chair, and then tightened some of the other screws that had become a bit loose, so now the chair is stronger and more stable. In talking about the chair, we saw another problem that both that chair and another chair in the room had. He fixed that problem too - on both chairs. I paid him his fee which I considered to be quite reasonable, and then he left. Done!....Chair fixed. Cross that off the to-do list (which felt good!). I can't think of any criticism or constructive suggestion to make. He came, was totally professional and had a good attitude, did a great job, charged a reasonable fee, and left. What more can you want? 5-stars. read more

Aaron did a variety of projects for me. He is dependable and efficient, and does excellent work. He is practical and communicates extremely well. He saved me a bunch of money by fashioning a low-cost, eco-friendly drainpipe repair to the one suggested by a plumber. I couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

Aaron did an awesome job on my back sliding door he went beyond and above to do the job correctly also he responded quickly and is a very nice guy very comfortable with him ...I definitely will recommend him to my friends and family when needed read more

Aaron is really responsive, punctual and efficient. He got everything done that I needed in record time. Great resource!!!

I have used Aaron for 2 projects now, and have been extremely happy with his work. One was installing track lighting over a stairway, which he did very well, and the second was replacing and adjusting old, falling apart "european" hinges on kitchen cabinets. The cabinet job was one where I had previously hired another handyman who was defeated by the project. I was so discouraged, I figured I would just live with cabinet doors sagging and refusing to close properly. Then I took a chance on Aaron and he totally fixed all my cabinets for a very reasonable price. I have complete confidence in his abilities and his honesty. read more
