Accolade Home Services Has done it again! Suddenly a toilet in our home stopped working. Like others, I tried the few things I knew to do - no luck whatsoever! I even purchased a new internal flushing kit. I called Mark of Accolade Home Services, and in no time, he identified the problem. It was not the flushing mechanism but was with the connectors under the toilet to the wall. He replaced the key connector that wasn't working from the toilet to the wall - a part he carries in his truck. He also replaced the internal mechanism that I'd purchased, as those do get older with time. In about 30 - 40 minutes he was done! Problem solved! read more

Mark is great! Very responsive to inquiries and always does a stellar job. We've hired him several times in past years (and are getting ready to hire him again SOON!) ---- stay tuned, Mark - I'm making my list!!! read more

Mark has fixed so many things for me, right on the spot. He really knows what he is doing and is a nice person to work with.

Call Mark for all your handyman needs for your home or your business. Mark of Accolade Home Service, has been such a great find for me. He came to my rescue in the rain 2021 New Years Eve when all the flooding was happening during the torrential rains that were hitting non stop in the bay area. My, in ground outdoor rain water sump pump failed. New to the home, I was in a panic to get it solved. I called Mark who had done some handyman work for me, and he came right out and worked in the rain, replacing the pump. Needless to say he saved the day from a complete flood. Mark has a vast knowledge in most all work and his skills and ability to think outside the box, is what is needed for any homeowner or business owner. He has worked as a handyman in many different capacities and is fair and honest. I have a long list for all the work he has done for me. If you need something done right, give Mark a call. He just today 4/25/25 and put in a foot pedal water saver device in my cottage. Excellent work and he gets it done timely. He is prompt and courteous and I feel lucky to have his services. He is local to Redwood City. *Note, I had a career in property management/maintenance and I know good work when I see it done. Give him a call. read more

Mark is the best. On-time. Amazing communication. Amazing work! He fixed two of our cabinets that fell out from loose screws and fixed in much faster than I was able to. There's also a lifetime warranty on his work! read more

Mark is terrific. He's responsive, professional, competent, reasonably priced, and is honest about what is or isn't in his wheelhouse.

Mark was able to help me fix my garbage disposal remotely out of the kindness of his heart. I would highly recommend him if you're in the Redwood City area and looking for an honest business man for your home needs. read more

Mark is THE BEST. He has made multiple repairs around our home and each time we have been impressed at his professionalism, communication, ingenuity and just plain skill. Most recently, our front door wasn't closing completely, leaving a gap where cold air poured into the house. We thought perhaps we needed new weather stripping. But Mark is so much smarter than us when it comes to these matters. He saw that the metal strip at the bottom of the door was striking the weather stripping, preventing the door from closing all the way. In a very short time, Mark had sheared off the offending part and presto! the door closed perfectly. No more breeze. On other occasions, Mark has fixed another door that wasn't closing properly, repaired window screens and performed many other tasks. Each time, the fix is for good. We have since recommended Mark to the realtor who helped us find this house and to several friends. We feel so grateful to have found him. read more

Another positive experience today with Mark. Consistent quality work, good communications, punctual, great pricing. Would highly recommend! read more

Mark is great and the right man for any handyman job you need at your home. I had a bad experience with TaskRabbit and decided to find someone local in Redwood City. I found Mark's name repeatedly mentioned on Nextdoor and after seeing his Yelp reviews I figured he will be able to help me with the tasks at hand. Mark helped with some wall art mounting, shelf mounting, and small repairs in my house. He was very quick, efficient, and accurate. I highly recommend calling Mark to get anything fixed at your home. He is reasonable and great at his job. read more

Look no further -- this guy is the handyman you should hire. The other reviewers have already said it all: -100% reliable -Creative problem-solver, professional and knowledgeable -Incredibly efficient, which means he can do 3x as much as a normal mortal in the same amount of time -Super nice, great sense of humor I've been working with Mark for years -- can't believe I haven't reviewed him before today! read more

My wife and I cannot recommend Mark enough - he was truly phenomenal from beginning to end. He was the fastest handyman to respond (texted me 15mins after i messaged him) and asked clarifying questions before booking an appointment. On the day of, he showed up on time with all the tools he needed and was able to knock out 6-8 jobs that varied from sawing planks of wood for our kitchen island, to aligning stuck doors, to changing out light switches, to replacing our deadbolts with electronic locks. Mark's depth and breadth of experience was truly astonishing, and he was a consummate professional during his entire visit to our house, where he had to navigate around a small child and a curious cat as well. We will continue working with Mark going forward without hesitation! read more

Mark is great! He helped us hang huge picture frames on the wall. He was super fast and did everything impeccably! Totally recommend his services! Thanks so much Mark! read more

Accolade Home Services - Mark hanged this enormous world map picture frame today! Thank you! - Handyman Near Me

My 91-year-old dad's house needed all sorts of general repairs. I don't live in the area, so I turned to Yelp. Mark's business was near my dad and his rating was 5 stars, so I called him first. We met at my dad's house, I went through what I needed, we set a time - done! Mark is communicative, fast, personable, reasonably priced, and does excellent work. His 5-star rating is well-deserved. If anything else needs attending to at my dad's house, I will reach back out to Mark without hesitation. read more

Mark needs to brush up on his communication skills. Poor experience when trying to schedule an appt. for Mark to remove and replace a kitchen microwave. I never spoke to Mark on the phone but emailed and texted him for several days asking him to give me some dates when he could come by. He delayed getting back to me several times, and he seemed uninterested in our job. When he finally gave us a week date when he could stop by, I asked him if he was sure he could come on that date because we were going to be away for a month soon after that date. Mark's response: "if you like you can get somebody else to put the microwave in". Wow! This was very rude, Mark! read more

Mark does truly excellent work. He has lots of glowing reviews here, but let me add another. We've hired Mark twice to do all sorts of odd and (to us) troublesome jobs. They were no trouble for Mark who flew through our long list of tasks with great efficiency & did everything with the highest quality. He fixed a shower area that had water damage in several places, doors that scraped or wouldn't lock, gates that wouldn't latch, drawers that wouldn't close, as well as he replaced both a broken attic fan/thermostat and a broken lighting fixture, amongst other tasks to make our home safer and more enjoyable. Mark's prices are very fair. He does a phenomenal job. My husband and I are very pleased and will be hiring him again. read more

Mark is fast, friendly, and efficient! You can tell he's an experienced repair person -- he handled the list of tasks I had quickly. I highly recommend hiring him. read more

Mark scheduled his visit and came on time. He was very professional and got the job done and done quickly. The job was a double inward open exterior French Door that had been misaligned and stuck for at least a year. read more

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Mark responded right away to my request, was easy to work with to schedule the appointment, came early (yes, I just said EARLY!), and did four projects in less than 30 minutes. Projects included plumbing (slow drain, leaking toilet), light carpentry, and installing a smoke detector which I could not reach. His rates are incredibly reasonable. He was super nice, wore a mask, put on booties to cover his shoes, and was overall terrific. Wish I had known about him sooner. read more

HE DOES NOT DO RENTALS. He assumes all property owners are scum! HE TOLD ME THAT!!!!!!! I am a private property owner with a duplex. He refused my business with a snarky text saying that "property managers "burn their bridges with him". I am NOT a property manager - just a person with a rental unit ON MY PROPERTY! Well - THEN I WILL TAKE my BUSINESS ELSEWHERE. I am so FURIOUS, I am seeing red. What a freaking nerve! I have never been so damn angry in my life! read more

We hired Mark to fix up a variety of things around the home we just moved into, from wooden gates and fences in the yard, to loose cabinets in the kitchen, to seals around shower fixtures. Mark took care of it all efficiently and professionally. He also made very pragmatic, sensible suggestions that were a lot easier than what I initially thought was needed. I'm happy with the quality of his work and with how he communicated with us and got the work done promptly. I'm glad to have found a reliable home repair person. read more

Our old curtain rod fell off and ripped a hole in the wall. Mark helped us install a new on and patched up the holes. He also helped us replace a screen door that was ripped about by my toddler. Everything looks like new! His work is high quality, has good communication, and very fair pricing. Will be calling him up for any other future repairs. read more

Mark helped me with a small job. I appreciated the communication, friendliness, and quality of work. I will definitely plan to use his services for my future home needs both big and small. Highly recommended. read more

Little girls can be so creative! For example, right before we were having guests our daughters put a plastic cap just the perfect size to clog our toilet and make it irretrievable. Happy New Year! I am actually quite handy with a wrench and I often try to fix my own home repairs, but in this case I couldn't get it out with the plumber's snake. Sometimes I do not have the tools or the time to do the job. As you have seen from the other reviews, Mark is efficient, professional, and very reasonably priced. I would also note that he came to fix our toilet on New Year's Eve, pulled the toilet off, fished out the cap, and installed the toilet in about an hour. He also installed a microwave for us at our condo and was flexible with schedule changes while we were waiting on a delivery. He is very pleasant and was patient with our two little curious girls. Highly recommended and I will use him again. read more

I hired Mark a year ago to fix extensive dry rot on the stairs of our Tahoe house. (I'd been advised by an earlier restorer that the whole deck should be replaced for $12,000). Mark reassured me about the deck stability. He custom cut a piece of redwood to exact proportions for the stairs, did a brilliant and quick job of restoration (and was kind enough to let me do the painting). Great work, right price, and Mark is a pleasure to interact with. read more

Mark was great. He was professional, competent (cut tiles, installed new microwave, removed/put wood trim back on..), fair (he discounted us $50 because he had to do less work than expected), tidy (brought his own vacuum cleaner and left the kitchen cleaner then when he started) and trustworthy. I would definitely use his services again and refer him to others. read more

We are so appreciative of Mark's responsiveness, efficient help, and value. He helped us fix our faucet in a heartbeat. We'll be contacting him again and highly recommend his services. read more

Mark was really an expert on fixing/adjust door issues. We have multiple doors at our house which are scratching the floor. He took only a few minutes to fix all of them. The price was also reasonble. I would defenitely recommend Mark for his expertise. read more

Mark is professional, efficient and reliable. He did our repairs exactly as estimated and was courteous and friendly.

Mark did an excellent job fixing our front and back doors that were out of alignment with the framing. Quick, efficient and great value. We will definitely be calling him back for any jobs in the future. read more

As others have said Mark is awesome. I had him help replace my range hood and he finished it faster than expected. Also helped fix my porch light switch wiring and now it turns on! Super reasonably priced and more importantly, overall very pleasant and good guy. Will be using Mark again for other work needed around the house. Thanks Mark! read more

Mark did an excellent job installing an exterior light sconce, a range hood vent, a new toilet, and a toilet bidet seat. He was very professional and efficient. He was even nice enough to come do this on a morning of a weekend, to accomodate my schedule! He had all tools and other parts in his truck, in case he needed it, which he thankfully did not. Highly recommend using his company! read more

Marc is great! He helped me with a tiny but challenging project and did beautiful work. He also communicated well and fast - much appreciated! Thank you Marc :) read more

There is no better man for the job! I just had to leave another review because Mark continues to be so amazing. I've used him for a few years now for several different jobs and he always does such quality work and is super FAST! I just texted him (on a holiday!) asking for a copy of a receipt which I lost and he emailed me back with it in less than 5 minutes. He's always quick to respond and always on time. read more

Mark was wonderful! Very responsive, worked us into his schedule quickly to fix our plumbing issues, knowledgeable, professional, and nice. Hard to find quality service like this. Thanks Mark! read more

Mark is the absolute best. Our bathroom door was blocked by an inadvertently opened vanity drawer and we couldn't get in. He came by soon after our call and, through pure ingenuity and persistence, managed to resolve the situation with no damage to the door and doorknob. Hands down the best handyman we've seen. He even brings his own booties and he is fully vaccinated! read more

We had a sink leak and it created a moldy, rotting cabinet. Mark was super responsive, and had an appointment slot available within two days. He came with everything needed to fix the cabinet on the spot, and the end result looks beautiful. The price was very competitive, and I will definitely use Mark again should anything else pop up. Thank you for the great experience! read more

My old garbage disposal rusted out and leaked, damaging the kitchen cabinet interior. I hired Mark to replace the water damaged cabinet and install a new garbage disposal unit. Mark was on time, professional, and did an excellent job of communicating. Sometimes YELP reviews can be relied upon. =) read more

Review just for customer service and ad: Nice person. Return call. Searched for handyman in san mateo. However, he dies not go past Hillsdale Avenue. So his company should not come up for San Mateo...hillsdale borders belmont. read more

After contacting him in the morning, Marc came out the same day to help us with a leak in our garbage disposal piping. He was fast, courteous, and jovial during his time here, and since the work ended up being less than he had estimated he reduced the price on the spot. Further, he offered to credit us should we decide to use him to replace the garbade disposal later this year if the repair doesn't hold. Overall excellent experience; I'd absolutely call him again. read more
