In a pinch, I needed a plumbing company to fix my overflowing toilet at my business. They came in with no hesitation, fixed it within an hour and was more than accommodating about the entire situation. Cleaned the bathroom, and was very informative about what the problem was. They will be my "go to" plumbers for any problems I have in the future. Thank you! read more

Excellent service--arrived on time, quickly fixed my problem. He had a smile on the entire time. VERY reasonable price-wise.

Nice guy and did the work required. I think his price was moderate The first day he was late. The second day he called and texted me and was early So that averages to on time Overall he did a pretty good job He fixed my attic hinges Did some electrical repair and other odds and ends I would use him again read more

Al does a great job, I've had him work on our home for years. He can be very busy so sometimes it's hard to find time he has free and I can tell he's overfilling his schedule because he wants to help his customers so much, so you might want to ask when he's got enough free time, but he's popular because he does good work and good competitive prices. He's especially good with electrical work. He was able to able to solve a small problem with our heater in a few minutes with rewiring after other people I called wanted thousands of dollars to replace entire heating system. Ignore the negative review about some other guy named "Adam". That's not the right guy. I know Al and Luis and their crew, and they have nothing to do with anyone named Adam or any business by that name. Some other reviewer probably misunderstood their phone interface or something. I think it's unfair Al is being affected because of something a completely unrelated business did. read more

BEWARE!!! We were contacted by Adam Stutzman from both phone numbers (951) 552-5632 - which linked to ALS HANDYMAN SERVICE and from (951) 251-9141 - This number is linked to Suncity Construction and Handyman Service. We had Adam Stutzman come out for an estimate for our commercial plumbing and tile work. He was very nice and seemed knowledgeable. The price sounded right so we gave him a deposit on Monday June 4, 2018 and planned to start that work on Friday- his next available start date. Unfortunately our landlord did not approve the renovation we had planned. I immediately contacted Adam on 6/6/18 to let him know the landlord did not approve our renovation and if he could send a refund for our deposit. He said through his bank it would take 30 days to process a refund. Although we have maintained contact he continues to push out our refund with different excuses. It has been 70 days and we continue to wait. NOTE: no materials or work were purchased or provided by Adam during this. I will update if/when we receive our refund. side note: He also contacted us from a secondary number which is linked to ALS Handyman Services. So he might have/work with 2 different companies. BEWARE!!!!!! Less read more

Absolutely terrible. In fact, my experience was so bad, I created a yelp account just to write a bad review so no one else has to experience their lack of professionalism. So, I'm in a pinch because my weekly handyman bailed on me, so I call "Al" up the day before and he says he has to confirm in the morning that he can make it out to Hollywood Hills where I am. I give him the address over the phone and through text, DOUBLE confirmed the right address, and felt relieved that someone was going to come help out. Next morning, I get a phone call at 9am asking for the address AGAIN. I gave the full address and stood by for an hour in the open garage. 10am passes and I figure they must be running late. It's all good. I get a missed phone call maybe 15 minutes later and a text saying they can't find the house. I call back multiple times on my phone with no answer. In fact they went straight to voicemail. What? Did they disappear? No. I call again on a different phone and naturally they pick up right away. Me: "Hey Al, it's Nathan. Were you guys able to find the house?" Al: "No. We couldn't find the house and no one answered the phone so we left for a different project. Can you text us step-by-step instructions on how to get to your house and maybe we'll come later?" Me: "You know what? Nevermind. Just don't come by anymore." Al: "DON"T WASTE MY TIME!" Wow. That's terribad. And I'm not even exaggerating. So here's my review in a nutshell: Props: -Can get you next day service Slops: -Will not show up unless you baby sit them and constantly check on them -Can't use basic navigation skills -Bad Customer Service My advice: You can take a chance on hiring these guys, but if you have a bad experience like me and other yelpers, you're just wasting your time and money. Don't call these guys. With love, Unsatisfied Customer read more

I've actually used him once for a minor job, caulking my tub, and he was fine. I tried to contact him for more repairs but found him to be completely unreliable. Knowing that he can be hard to reach, I left about 4 messages. He never returned any of my calls but I was able to get through on 2 occasions. Both times he said that he would call me back to schedule the repair, which never happened. At our last phone conversation, he said that he would come by today but when I called him to find out the exact time, he had no recollection whatsoever of the conversation. If you don't have anything better to do with your days than to wait around for people, then Al is the guy for you! read more

I have never written a negative review on Yelp, but think this one is appropriate. I contacted Al because of his Yelp rating, and he repaired a sink drain for my tenant in a condo in WLA. My criticism is that although I paid him, and he was working for me, he criticized the existing plumbing installation to the tenant, which was relatively new. He could have told me that directly and privately, as I was his customer, but chose to shoot his mouth off. Now I know that every handyman criticizes the jobs they see. It is human nature, and builds up their importance, but it was very bad form and I won't use him again. read more

When My 'Honey Do' experience went south, I returned to Yelp to find a handyman to finish and fix what Steve and Gil left in their wake. Easily got a hold of Al slightly less than a week before appt. We scheduled Friday (today) first thing in the morning. Sent him pics and description of 4 tasks. Day before (a.m.) I sent him a text to confirm next day appt as scheduled. No response. Sent text that evening (night before) beginning to panic. No response. Morning of, left vm. No response. Day shot. Finally, he texts 'are we still on.. tried to contact you but....' (huh?) He finally shows up about 11:45. His worker about 45 mins later. When we got to the topic of the inversion chair I mentioned my back is bad due to sports; running and dancing, etc. He got stuck on the fact I was a dancer (not that kind) and at two different times within 10 mins asked me about dancing... (Uh. No.) I finally excused myself. The inversion chair he and his worker put together without the washers. He asked me to come check, I saw all the washers on the floor. He explained as extra parts. I looked closer to see the screws were (almost) all installed without washers. He was clearly pissed and I heard tools hit the floor hard because I asked him to please install using all the parts :( What I didn't understand was the worker. He was basically here to aide Al in very simple tasks. Because of this, a simple ladder shelf assembly took about 3x longer than it needed to be. Quality of workmanship seems to be of much higher quality than Honey Do, but the disconnects in communication and paying for a worker that wasn't working per cea affected the overall experience to the extent I would not ask him back. That is, unless I didn't care when or if he showed up and how he would act if something didn't go right. read more

I've never used Al before, because he never showed up for our appointment. I called and left a message to get a quote and he did call me right back. He said he'd come over the next day between 2-4. Next day: 4:30 and still no Al. So I called him. He said he was finishing up a job and would come over at 5:30 or 6. He apologized for not calling me to tell me he was running late. I said o.k., I'll wait for you to come at 5:30 or 6, but call me if anything comes up or you're running late. 6:30 and still no Al and no phone call. I don't get why he can't just call and tell me he's be late, is busy or whatever else. Calling people back, communicating properly and showing up when you say you will is just part of doing good business. read more

After leaving two v-mails without getting any response I am on the verge of posting a really bad review when Al called and scheduled a time. However, he never called back nor show up so since there's no 0 star, I am giving him a 1 star. read more

SO my girlfriend put a bunch of holes in the wall. And then we broke up. And then I had to move out. So to get my damage deposit back I had to do a level of patching that went a little out of my depth. I called Al. He picked up , said he'd be over in the morning and gave me a quote so reasonable for a 3 bedroom house I didn't even think to get competitive bids. He was over in the morning, on time, and he and his assistant patched every hole and one or two I didn't see. There was a built in shelf that was tilted and had been since I moved in. He fixed that too without me asking. When I pointed out one or two patches that could be a little better he didn't hem or haw. He smiled, fixed em to my liking and swept up after himself. Is it hard to get him on the phone? It was. A little. He's a one man band. He told me he tried getting other helpers to start work for him and then for him to show up and make sure it's right but he was never happy with their labor. So he had to re-do it. He just won't put his name in someone else's hands. he should get a receptionist probably but that's the price you pay for being good and doing it all yourself. Me? I'd hire him again in a second. Even if I did have to wait for him to pickup. read more

Called Al in the morning to see if he can help me get some faucets installed in the afternoon. He was on a job, but said he can get to it later in the afternoon. Called Al back around 1pm, and he said he'll get to me a bit later in the day. He didn't call back til 7pm, and I had dinner plans, so didn't get my faucets installed. I should have told him I had dinner plans, but when he originally said later in the afternoon, I assumed it would be around 3pm... not 7pm. He's batting a 0.500 with me right now. Depending on what I need, will give him a try again in the future... but definitely won't count on him for time sensitive stuff. read more

Al is a very friendly and honest handyman with quick service and reasonable prices. Just waiting for something to break.... read more

There comes a time in every dude's life where he has to man-up and fix something in the house. For me, that was replacing my garbage disposal. There also comes that time when he needs to admit, " I don't have the tools to fix this nor do I want to buy them now, I don't have the time to fix it because people are coming over this weekend, and it would probably be cheaper this time to have someone else do it right the first time." Enter Al's Handyman Service. Al came highly recommended from Jenna S. and overall he did a great job. I had a leak coming from the wall where my washer/dryer was hooked up to and Al was able to come the very next day and fix it at a great price. He's truly honest, works around your schedule, and is someone good to know for the potential problems you might have. read more

I had an incredibly stressful leak and drain clog this Saturday morning at my apartment. I called Al at about lunch - and despite him being at a job when I called - he managed to be at my house by 2 o'clock. Upon showing up I got the most ridiculously competitive quote I have ever recieved from a plumber. The problem I have in my house is recurring and I have been quoted an upward of 600$ and settled for 350$. Al was so honest and told me it was a job that would take him less than an hour and he would do it for 85$. He was incredibly sweet, personable, professional, and funny. I will definitely definitely call him again. It has been years where I've been looking for a reliable and affordable plumber/handyman. I'm so thrilled to have found Al. read more

I manage a small apartment complex in West Hollywood and have been looking for a guy like Al for a few years now. * very reasonable rate and willing to give and exact quote * speaks excellent English * clean and professional * positive attitude * showed up when he said he would * willing to bill my boss for the job with an invoice * has the proper equipment I hired Al for a small painting job. He showed up with a partner and they did the job quickly and exactly as promised. He does electrical, light plumbing, and indoor & outdoor painting. read more

Al is a Top notch Handyman with quick service and Reasonable prices. Had Al & his Crew do some Outdoor House Painting and Some Electrical work . He did A Good Job and Cleaned up afterwards. He speaks English well and Showed up When he Said he Would. I Highly reccommend Al , Luis and His Crew to Anyone looking for a Good Handyman Especially for Painting or Electrical Work. Two Thumbs Up! read more

Had to ask Al to come over to fix the clogging at our kitchen sink. (Yeah, I was a sink disposer abuser but I've learned my lesson. ) He's very reachable even on Saturday, which is a big plus when you have an emergency situation like me. His service is great: prompt, clean, polite, professional and responsible. I wish I have found him earlier for our other home improvement projects! read more

Al and Luis are awesome! The day before we left for vacation, our pipes burst. Totally sucks. I Yelped and found several people, but Al was the only guy that actually showed up. To do the job, he had to crawl under the house to fix the pipe and in the process, actually found another pipe that needed replacing. AWESOME! 2 weeks later, our toilet started leaking at the bottom. I think it needed caulking but my husband and i are just too busy. Al came over and fix it and installed a new doohickey that made the toilet stop gushing in the middle of the night. AWESOME on-call handymen. YAY! Thanks guys. read more

Al was amazing! He came to our office and fixed within a few hours what another handyman said was unrepairable. I highly recommend him as he is polite, professional and affordable. Thank you for saving our dishwasher AL! - Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts read more

Just used Al and his crew again for another job, added shelf and hang bar in new closet and several other small tasks around the house. Al, Luis, and Douglas are so polite and kind, I really enjoy working with them on projects. Reasonable prices, good work, and good people! Highly recommend read more

YOUR SEARCH IS OVER. Don't call any other plumbers. Just call Al. No, sshh, just call him. Five reasons to call Al: 1. Super-professional 2. Extremely punctual (he said he was coming at noon and he was downstairs at 11:45am, waiting for it to be noon before buzzing me) 3. Speaks excellent English 4. Respectful (i.e. if you're a girl at home alone, you can call him) 5. Excellent work! He can do anything around your house! He does plumbing, tiling, anything you need. So, no calling around to five different companies. Just call Al. Seriously, I hope you're not looking at other reviews in another window. Just call Al. read more

I Called Al last night at 8pm thinking I would get the machine, not only did he answer, he called me back one hour later to confirm an appointment and quote me over the phone on the job. Sure enough I got a call from Al 1hr before the appointment, to tell me he would be 10minutes early. I appreciated the call as I had to leave work to go and meet him. He was fast, friendly and allowed my dog to sit right beside him as he worked away at the door frame. The job took less than an Hour, Looked Amazing, and he saved the wood in my door frame instead of having to buy it new. When it came time to pay, Al charged me less than the estimate, citing that because he was able to re-use some of the wood it would cost less. I plan on having a Long, Long relationship with Al.... read more

After trading calls a bit on a Friday morning and afternoon, which made me nervous as hell after all the bad reviews, Al and Luis showed up at my place the next day (15 minutes early actually) to replace a garbage disposal, snake a drain, fix a faucet, fix a running toilet and try to figure out how my Dish would work with my new DVD/BluRay player... something that no one could seem to figure out until Al came over. He literally made it his mission to get it working which I appreciated. I found them both to be very friendly. They worked quietly and pretty quickly considering how much I needed done. Al told me to please call him if I had any problems later with anything they'd worked on and he would return to fix said item for free. That was three weeks ago and everything is still A-okay. He's a one-man shop not Roto-Rooter. Just know that going in. read more

I would highly recommend these guys to anyone and will use them again in the future. I had accidently locked my room door one night and I didn't want to wait for a locksmith to get here so I tried opening it myself by kicking the door. I guess I kicked a little too hard and busted the side of the door. I called Al's Handyman Service and explained what it looked like and he quoted me 85-100 bucks. Came the next day when he said he would and did an amazing job. The door looks brand new, everyone was very friendly, professional and cleaned up after. They charged exactly what the quoted, $85.00. read more

Al was a life saver. I thought I could install my security door easily by myself (thanks Lowes for that false hope)! Totally frustrating. I called several handymen Al picked up right away, quoted a price in my range and came over right away. He was professional, friendly, prompt and did an amazing job. He unscrewed my crooked screws in order to do it right and even sanded down a metal attachment to fit my doorway perfectly. Great service. Great price. Great guy. I would absolutely recommend Al. read more

Awesome guy, helped me with my light fixtures problem that 2 other handy man couldnt do because it was too high up and they wanted me to go and rent a big ladder from home depot. But he did in no second. And after that he helped me with my plumbing problem, he even waited and flushed a couple times and checked out my other restrooms to make sure everything is working perfectly. GREAT GUY awesome prices and really cares I can only recommend read more

He was the best He is a life's safer My apartment door was displaced in the weekend so I was stacked in my apartment until I called that guy from yelp his price was very fare and he came just in 2 hours fix the door for me in less than 39 minutes and mede it as it was before Just call him guys he very amazing,fare person,and very handy skillful . read more

I highly recommend Al's Handyman Service. I had a heater emergency today and all the places I called said they couldn't schedule me for two weeks....That meant no heat for two weeks!!! I decided to look on Yelp and found Al's Handyman Service after reading all the positive reviews I called and they SAVED ME!!! They came out Today....Fixed it I have heat!!!! I will use their services again and will not hesitate to spread the word to my friends and family about their outstanding service!! Very Very warm and Happy :) read more

Because of all the great ratings on Yelp, I called Al to work on several jobs on my house. He showed up on time to go through the jobs, one of which was to fix a roll-out cabinet in my kitchen. He took the cabinet, and then disappeared for two weeks. He finally left a note on my door to call him. I did, twice, before he called me back to say he was ready to come back and put the cabinet in. He set the appointment for today at 8. It is now 9:30 and he just called to say he wanted to come at noon. Not cool. I'm beyond annoyed now, and will find another person to finish the job. read more

I rarely post but these guys are horrible about follow through and scheduling. It's always the same. They pick up then ask that I text them with my number to schedule an appointment. Guess what. No response. Never. Please don't waste my time. read more

I would give zero stars if i could. I had set several appointments over the span of 2 days with them and they did not show up. no phone call or no nothing. call these people if you love wasting time. read more

He sucked. He made plans with me at 12pm and broke plans with me at 11:30am. I wasted a whole day waiting for him at home. I will never use him again. read more

First week, no return call, second week, no show on Saturday and then (after a phone call) no show and no call at the rescheduled time three hours later. Hey -- 99% of life is just showing up. He might be the most talented handyman in town, but he is useless if he never shows up. This guy does not deserve your business. read more

I guess the reviews speak for themselves. IF he actually shows up, he does good work. But like so many other reviewers, I waited around for HOURS for him and kept getting the runaround (I'm on my way, I'll be there in less than an hour) I literally waited for him for 9 hours that day. I told him that had he been upfront with me from the beginning I would have hired someone else or at least used my time more wisely. I could have been running errands or hiking or ANYTHING besides literally waiting by the phone for 9 long hours. But he literally kept me hanging the entire time with promises that he was on the way. Unbelievable. The installation he did was fine. But in the 9 hours i spent waiting for him, i could have had someone else complete every project in my house that needed to be done. Sorry Al - you really need to be respectful of other people's time. Those of us who work Mon-Fri really hate to see our Saturdays go (sorry for the pun) down the drain. read more

I used Al last month to repair several toilets that were constantly running & one stopped flushing all together. My bathroom sink got stopped & the tub closure needed adjustment. Al arrived only 1 hr late but with a helper. Kinda surprised bc It doesn't take 2 men to snake a sink & install new toilet handles. I texted him previously as to what I needed done & tried to send him a photo of the toilets. He never got the photos so he went to Osh to buy the supplies. The handles are so cheap & weird looking. I never have seen toilet handles flaring upwards. Al said that was all he could find bc of my toilet style. I mean I can live with them of course, but still is weird. He installed the new insert thingy inside the top of the toilet & it went well 10 min top. He snaked the sink & that went quickly. It was a very EASY job for any handyman. Al & his helper were very friendly & liked to talk a lot. If paying by the hr. This wouldn't fly well!!! I would say they spent an average of 2 to 2 1/2 hrs ( 1 hr or so for was going to Osh) about 10 min away. I was pretty surprised that they charged me $300. I was paying for his helper who really just assisted giving Al the tools needed; like a sous chief! Ok so, I basically paid $50 an hr ( which is fine) including the materials which couldn't have been more than $75.00. BUT my grief is if Al came alone, I could have saved at least $100 which I totally needed since Xmas was in 4 days. My mistake: I didn't ask questions!!! Moral of the story: Ask how much does he charge; is it per hr or job? Do you have to pay for a helper, etc.,? I would def use him again if I new how much it was going to cost & I could afford the price quoted. read more

I called Al's for a quote for my bathroom (which was recently remodeled), and I needed small repairs involving installing a recessed medicine cabinet, some touch up paint and minor patchwork and paint repair to my shelves. After a few phone calls to them (they didn't respond right away), they quoted me $150 and scheduled the job for Friday 9/20/13. When they arrived, they were very nice. I had asked numerous times if they had instruments to see if there is pipe behind wall on which I wanted the medicine cabinet installed. They informed me that the instruments are not accurate (they said they have a 50% accuracy) and that they have to cut the wall and see. They cut the wall, found a pipe, and informed me the medicine cabinet could not be installed there. So, they proceeded to patch the wall and repaint it. They installed the second cabinet in another place in my bathroom. They charged me an extra $50 for having to patch up the wall and install the cabinet in another location (even though their instruments should have taken care of that in the first place, but I am not a contractor and cannot argue with them on the 'accuracy' of their tools). After they left, I looked at the wall that they patched up and both my roommate and I could visibly see that the patchwork and paint were not properly done. The wall was not texturized well, and you can visibly see the square outline of the cut through the wall and the paint. In addition, the touch up paint that I also had them work on was not straight and the install of the medicine cabinet, after measuring it with a level, is off by 6 degrees (the first cut which they patched up was cut straight, incredibly). I called and texted them informing them that the patchwork paint over the first cabinet wall cut is not textured properly and you can clearly see the outline of the cut in the wall behind the paint (I didn't even address the other two issues as this was the most jarring and ugly looking thing in the bathroom). The only response I received by text is that I didn't answer my phone (I did not receive a missed call from them) but they did say they would come that Friday 9/27 to fix the wall. I waited for them but did not receive a call or text on that Friday and they never showed up. The reason I am even giving them two stars is that the two workers that came were very nice, and that the shelves were done properly (albeit the only thing that was done so). But it seems there is definitely a communication issue involved with this company, both at the top and with the workers. If they would have just come back and properly patched up and painted the wall that they did such a horrible job on that it is an eyesore in my bathroom, I would not have given them a bad review. read more

Unlike other bad reviews, Al actually picked up my call and agreed to come check out my problems. But then he didn't pick up my subsequent phone calls. No responses to my voicemails. After FIVE days, he finally shows up. But with no tools and in a big rush to leave. No intention of helping me with my simple repairs. He rushes off in five mins. What a waste of time. read more

Al did several jobs in our house, fixing multiple things: a leaky faucet, a broken large wooden gate, installing a new power outlet, a small paint job, and fixing old windows that just wouldn't work properly. All in all he was excellent. This guy really knows what he is doing: - Does the job quickly and efficiently - Fixes things instead of replacing them - Charges very reasonable fees I asked other contractors for quotes for the same jobs before calling Al. All of them asked for fees which were 2-3 times higher, and required replacing parts that Al was able to fix for less than half the price. Al is the best, I will definitely call him again when in need. read more
