Our front door has been slowly failing since we moved in. Cracks run up and down the latch/lock side of the jam and the wood is completely torn up from multiple fixes...so I finally broke down and reached out to Ara based on his Yelp reviews. I can do a lot of work around the house...but not doors. Or painting. I hate painting. I'd rather dig a 10 foot hole in the ground than paint. Sorry. I digress. Ara showed up on the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend and told me what he thought needed to be done. But first he wanted to go to a hardware store (or two) to see if they had the materials necessary. He found them and asked when I wanted him to do the work. I assumed it'd be a week from today, but when I asked if he could do it today he paused, nodded, and said, "Sure." He reconstructed the part of my door jam that had bothered me for 18 years - and made me glad I didn't try to do it myself. AND he did the painting!!! Thank you, Ara! You were great to work with and I'm definitely keeping your contact info! read more

Ara was great to work with. He was responsive and polite from the start, and even came out the same day I reached out. He fixed my drywall issue quickly and did a really clean, professional job. What stood out most was that he came up with a creative solution instead of just doing a basic patch, which made the end result look much better. He also cleaned up everything before leaving, which I really appreciated. Would definitely hire him again. read more

Ara knows what he's doing. Every single project I've asked him to look at, he's been able to complete. He really is knowledgeable about so many specialties, he surprises me. He always shows up when he says he will, has all his tools and works quietly and efficiently! He is very reasonable in cost as well, I'm extremely grateful for him and his expertise! read more

Ara's work is clean, professional, on time, responsive and reasonably priced. He is a no nonsense kind of guy that clearly takes pride in his work and took care of something we got other quotes for that were more than double the price. He seemed like a busy guy that has a lot of work going on so it's best to allow him a few days to respond and get you on his schedule. He also was able to give a quote from a photo and come in person to confirm the quote and got us on the schedule in his first opening appointment time. We'll definitely be sending more work his way as we need it. For reference he fixed our siding on our house that was coming off and did it in a very professional way that barely even appears like anything was wrong with it in the first place. read more

I can't say enough good things about Ara Handyman! He fixed a tricky laundry issue for me -- the washer door couldn't open fully because of a tight space, and he came up with a brilliant solution.

5/5 Stars - Ara is an absolute pro! I hired Ara to hang some heavy items on high walls that I couldn't reach safely on my own. He was fantastic from start to finish. Communication was quick and clear right from the first message. He showed up on time, assessed the job, and even made a trip to the store to get the right anchors and hardware we needed. He stayed until everything was perfectly secure and the job was 100% complete. The work was clean, professional, and done efficiently. Best of all, his pricing was very fair -- no surprise charges or upselling. I highly recommend Ara and would hire him again in a heartbeat. 10/10! read more

Hired Ara to replace an exhaust fan and he diligently worked through a few of the complications of it (fitting a new fan into a spot where a much older [and different size] fan had sat) absolutely without complaint and/or issue. Was also very accommodating picking up a fan (and other items to improve the job) at minimal cost. Really friendly and helpful guy who you can tell just loves his job, even refusing a tip. Will definitely be giving him a call for any future jobs, big or small! read more

Ara Handyman - 65 inch Tv installation by Ara - Handyman Near Me - Glendale, California

he did a great job. very professional and prices are reasonable. I would hire him again.

As the listing agent for a Burbank condo, I needed work done quickly and right the first time to get rid of mold under the kitchen sink and put everything back in its proper place. The mold remediation company disassembled most of the kitchen and removed the affected wood. Replacing the missing parts and reassembling the kitchen was the job for which I hired Ara. The price he bid was not the lowest, but it was fair, and much lower than some other estimates I received. Ara agreed to meet with me and to start the work very quickly, and he accelerated his work to help me keep escrow on schedule. When the scope of the job turned out to be more than we discussed in the beginning, he was up-front and flexible. The price tag grew accordingly, but in a fair manner--he didn't take advantage of the urgency of the situation. Ara's work was high-quality and thorough. It was a pleasure to work with him, and I wouldn't hesitate to engage him again. read more

What an outstanding experience with Ara. Came out same day to repair the issue. After discussing his skills and what he can do, it turned out that he could actually help us out with a few other things we needed help with. He was able to replace a door hinge same day. We hired him back to sand down our door and restain it. Very prompt, excellent communication. No hidden agendas, provides reasonable prices and gets the job done! Highly recommended! read more
