Just wanted to update my review! We got into a tricky spot with some pretty intricate, finish carpentry and crown molding. I was beyond my personal skill sets. Phillip came out the very next day after a late evening. Panic call for a service request trying to meet a deadline. He was very clean, protected the home was polite and professional, and kept us in the loop each step of the way I feel lucky to have finally found a fantastic finish Carpenter home we can trust! Great prices & service. Clean up was meticulous as if he was never there. He even offered to haul off the trash when done. read more

I ended up hiring someone else because they never called me back. I wanted to hire a local business and they would not keep their promise to call me back. I tried several times, leaving a message, texting, and nothing. I should have believed the comments about this issue. Oh well. read more

Phillip is great. Always punctual and gets the job done in a professional and timely manner. This is our second time in using their service and have been pleased both times. I would highly recommend. read more

Installed three kitchen lights. Fast, efficient and priced right. They lived up to their neighborhood reputation and we will use them again! read more

I spent an hour with Phillip and showed him the first two projects I had for him. He spent most of the time describing how his skills were perfect for the job. As he left he said "...give me a couple days and I'll send you a quote." 10 days passed and I texted Patti. She said they were "moving the office" and to give them "a few more days." It's now been 16 days since our meeting. No texts or emails with apologies, excuses, or quotes. I've been ghosted. Utterly unprofessional and I couldn't be expected to trust them at this point as they're unable to keep their word. I've wasted my time with this lot, don't waste yours. read more

Breiter Handyman Service - Work shown - Handyman Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

We found Phil on Nextdoor and recently used him for some small projects around the house. Communication and scheduling was easy and fast. He and his assistant showed up on time and worked hard to complete all of our tasks. Phil was knowledgeable and friendly, and came up with solutions that we had not even thought of. Will definitely use Breiter again! read more

I'm sorry to change this we went from five stars to two. we have been waiting months for them to finish our little projects and they disappeared. We kept getting promises and promises. I'm done. I'm sorry. I really thought we found someone reliable. But I was wrong read more

Unable to communicate with this company at all Only responds via email or some text Very poor communication I can't hire someone I can't talk to Ridiculous read more

Phillip Breiter, handyman, is amazing. He does great work at an affordable price, and on time! He's a pleasure to work with. Terrific results. read more

I gave Phillip two chances to find the leak and fix it in our bathroom. First time he says it's the toilet seal leaking so he replaced the seal and the damaged flooring. Not long after the flooring looked wet and damaged again. I had him back and told him to find the leak. He then just patched up the damaged drywall and flooring again. Never found the leak. I regret paying him twice! Finally called a real plumber and they found the leak in the wall.... Phillip wants to be in and out ASAP. He's not really into doing anything but the easiest jobs. Using him allowed the problem to do more damage and entire bath had to be ripped out and replaced. read more

More than 5 stars!!!! We really loved working with Phillip on the projects we had in our house. No project too small. Phillip managed our changes in stride. Our master bath looks phenomenal. Our old bathroom was so bad, I am too embarrassed to even show the before pictures. read more

Breiter Handyman Service - Handyman Near Me - Pleasant Hill, California

We used Breiter to install some new ceiling fans and change out some switches. Philip was great at explaining what we specifically needed for our condo and Patti was very friendly and accommodating for an appointment. We won't hesitate to use them again for any handyman services. read more

We struck gold when we found Phillip and Patti Breiter and their business partner Taylor. Phillip and Taylor are in the field whilst Patti runs the operation at home. I can't talk about one without talking about the others as they are a team. And, what a team they are! In our efforts to replace our gas grill (we simply wore it out) we found that the space in our grill island on our covered patio had some changes needed to fit the new one (a Turbo from BBQs Galore, themselves a winning team). To comply with newish state regulations we would be required to provide venting under the grill for gas to escape in the case of a leak. Enter Patti, Phillip, and Taylor in that order. First, Patti took my call and was able to have Phillip come by that afternoon. He sized up the problem and proposed that he come back the next day to execute his solution. He brought Taylor with him on Saturday and they proposed a professional design for venting slits which they began working on immediately. We agreed to have Phillip take the door home and finish it up and paint it, then bring it back the next day which by now you have figured out was Sunday. It looks like it was custom manufactured for us. And, indeed, it really was. As they were leaving my wife asked them to look at a section of our fence which needed repairing as well as two gates which needed adjusting. Here it is a week after Phillip's first visit and the newly painted and properly vented door is in place, stones have been cut to accommodate some additional installation requirements, and two sections of fence have been repaired, and both gates adjusted. All of this was done without breaking the bank, phone calls and emails were answered immediately and fully, great imagination and ingenuity was shown by the team, and we are pleased as punch. After more than fifty years in Lafayette we have finally found the perfect answer to an aging couple's handyman needs: Breiter Handyman Service! read more

I am so happy to have made the connection with the Breiter group.....they are so helpful in a quiet, efficient way.....If they aren't comfortable with a particular issue they are quick to recommend someone who specializes in that area.....they don't practice on their clients as I have experienced in the past....If I could give 10 stars I would.... read more

Phillip is professional, efficient, diligent and accommodating, so glad I found a reliable handyman. Thank you so much! read more

Had them come out to give me an estimate to build a fireplace. Guy was nice although like some of the previous reviews smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. He assured me I'd receive an emailed estimate in a few days. Almost two weeks later, nothing. Called and Patti told me that the email address they had was wrong and she would forward over the estimate right away. A few days later and nothing again. I called them this morning, left a voicemail, still no response. You're probably better off spending your money somewhere else. If they can't even manage to get an estimate out, I can't imagine what their work actually looks like. read more

This review is a bit overdue as Phil did some work for me around 6 months or so ago. I hired him to paint the pergola in my backyard. I'd had several other pros decline to paint it because they felt that the intricate lattice on the top would be a pain to deal with (can't blame them!). Phil came by for an estimate, told me how he would approach the work, and Patti got back to me with a price that was very reasonable. Phil did a great job taking my bright orange pergola to a beautiful dark gray. It wasn't an easy job because of all the detailing on the upper portion of the structure, but he made it look easy. I'm super happy with the end result and have gotten lots of compliments on it. read more

Great job Phillip! Thank you for all the hard work, everything looks amazing.

We recently had an emergency plumbing leak. Phillip was able to fix the leak and make the necessary repairs. He was always on time and communicated with us throughout the process. His quality of work is exceptional. I highly recommend Phillip!! read more

Phillip and Patti Breiter have been amazing to work with! We needed help with drywall repair, floor replacement, and fixture installation and it all came out immaculate. We were super lucky to have found them and will definitely call Breiter Handyman when we need help again! read more

We needed our deck replaced and contacted Breiter. The bid was very reasonable and the work they performed was outstanding. I would recommend this company. read more

Had some ugly stucco patch job around a window on the house I bought, I got Phillip to come over and make it look better. Also had him replace the only toilet in the house. Great service, showed up on time, replaced the toilet with ease, triple verified it was stable, and not leaking. Also replaced my water supply line (not in quote, and no added fee). IMO that's awesome. The stucco patch also came out beyond expectation. I will not hesitate to call again when something I'm too lazy to do needs to be done. read more

I called twice and then e-mailed through their website but never got a response. As a last resort I called a third time and Patti Breiter picked up. She scheduled a time for her husband Phillip to come out and said depending on the exact nature of the problem, he might be able to fix it on the spot or he might need to come back. On the appointment day, he didn't show up. I texted and one of them replied that there was a family emergency. Fair enough, it happens to all of us. I said I was sorry to hear that and I hope everything would turn out ok. I followed up two days later, not having heard back. Phillip said he would come the next day. He did come this time (reeking of cigarette smoke by the way), but just took notes and asked me for my e-mail address, saying he would send a quote the next day. It's been 4 days and I've heard nothing. read more

STAY FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE.. Phil, owner, unlicensed did several minor repairs. First quoted at $30 hour, then $60, then by job for same work - which equaled about $150 hour. The work is shabby, harming the fence he worked on, did not give written estimate - just wrote on/his note pad. Refused to come back to finish staining the steps he built after 4 months which are separating, have holes in them from his poor nail work and unsafe edges. He was to have attached the steps to hot tub allowing for safe access, this was not done either. I bought the stain which was supposed to be covered and never came back to finish the job. Phone calls irradiclly returned, appointments missed by hours with no phone contact. Need I say more? Mostly women have reported to my on Next Door neighbor, of similar problems. read more

Phillip has done very good work for us, painting, trim work, door hanging, window blind installation, light fixture installation. He has been timely, fair and done good work. I would call him again. read more

Phillip was timely and on budget! We needed some siding and trim replaced and repaired before getting our house painted. He did the work exactly as promised and did a darn good job in the process! Will definitely call Breiter Handyman Servie again when we need it! read more

We recently had Breiter repair a gate and replace the stair railing on the side of my mother-in-law's home. They were pleasant and professional, and very responsive to messages. Phillip's work far exceeded our expectations. We will definitely use them again and recommend them to friends and family. Price was fair and reasonable. So glad to have a trusted handyman that we can call! read more

Phillip, the owner is such a professional. I couldn't ask for anyone better. He is a true professional. He called me a half hour before he was to arrive and showed up on time. I needed him to do some repairs on my home and before the job, he gave me a quote and provided me with a written estimate and at the end of the job, I didn't pay more than was on the estimate. All the work that was done was done to profession. After the job was completed, there was no mess left behind. Phillip cleaned up all areas. I have had bad experiences with other handyman services and it was a disaster. I would definitely call him again should I need anymore work done. I have recommended his service to my friends because when you have quality work done, you want to spread the word. So I'm spreading the word. AWESOME HANDYMAN SERVICE! read more

Great guy! I have been using Phillip for a few years now (after running through a list of handymen - who would not show up/postpone etc). Phillip shows up ON time - which is a very big deal to me. He advises properly on only the things that need to be done. Does not oversell/overdo things. He explains things patiently. Charges very nominally. And is clean. That is all I can ask for. And with 2 kids at home - I still feel safe when he is at home, working !! You can't go wrong with Phillip. read more

Phil is very conscientious and has talents in many trades. His plumbing skills are maybe his best trait. Burt he is also quite the painter and general all around guy for drywall repairs, tile installation, general carpentry, etc. He has helped me out on numerous projects including new additions and various upgrades. read more

my wife and i were very happy with the work phillip and his associate taylor did for us. responsive to phone calls/emails, arrived when promised, and completed the work we requested very much to our satisfaction. we will certainly use phillip and taylor again. highly recommended for your handyman needs. read more
