I recently requested services from Tim for a mix of home improvement projects on multiple visits --…read moreincluding adjusting and fixing our cabinet doors, patching and painting indoors, and installing/repairing trim work--and I couldn't be happier with the results. A few key things that stood out: Top-Notch Quality: His attention to detail is fantastic. The drywall patching is completely seamless, the paint lines are clean, and the cabinet doors finally align and close smoothly. The trim work looks like it was done by a custom carpenter. Reliable: He showed up right on time for the project work. It's rare to find someone in the trades who respects your schedule this consistently. Honest & Transparent: Tim is upfront about his scope of work, but goes above and beyond anyway. When I asked about a broken washer door, he candidly mentioned appliance repair was outside his usual wheelhouse--yet he still took the time to research it, figured out the fix, and got it working smoothly. If you're looking for a skilled, dependable, and honest handyman who takes genuine pride in his craft, I highly recommend Tim!

Initially I hired Tim to fix a couple of screen doors and he did a nice job with that. While he was…read morehere, I asked if he did deck work and he said that he did. My deck is very large and I was looking to replace the planks over about 80% of it. Tim worked his butt off and did an amazing job. There was some underlying water damage to the deck support beams and he did all that additional work for a reasonable charge. I can't recommend him enough!

They were very nice, friendly, and professional. Their English was not that great (by their own admission) so they often used Google Translate on their phone to translate, which actually worked a lot better than I had expected. We were able to communicate with them just fine. They mentioned they were from Russia so if you can speak Russian that would be great. They wanted to connect their pressure washer to our hose to pressure wash the clogged gutters, but our hose recently broke and thus we didn't have one, so they went out to Home Depot to purchase one for the job. They also got on the roof to manually scoop out a lot of the debris in the gutters. To fix the clogged downspout they removed the gutter from the wall and emptied them and pressure sprayed the inside of the gutter to clear them out. The gutters looked pretty good after they cleaned everything out. They also readjusted the gutter to fit into the French drain better (it was misaligned from the previous job from another contractor). We would be happy to call them up again if we had any more house jobs that needed to be done!

They installed the cabinets that I sourced from another company (although they also manufacture their own cabinets in-house), and everything was installed to spec with the trim pieces cut perfectly to match. For the countertops, I sourced my own quartzite slabs, and F&L handled the rest. They picked up the slabs, created the templates based on my cabinets, fabricated everything, and completed the installation. The templating team also went above and beyond to make sure my expensive slabs were used as efficiently as possible with virtually nothing wasted. They took the time to help me plan the layout so the veining flowed naturally across the countertops and backsplash, which made a huge difference in the final result. As someone who had never gone through this process before, I really appreciated their patience and attention to detail. A special shout-out to Fernando, who was my representative throughout the project. He was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly patient with all of my questions and design changes. He made the entire experience smooth from start to finish and always took the time to answer my calls. I highly recommend the team at F&L Granite.

Let me first start by saying that mike and his crew where on time, priced right and cleaned up nicely. My short story is as follows. I called many handyman services for my very long to do list and only 2 companies showed. California Handyman was the only one who showed on time. We walked through all the items that we wanted fixed and mike made a few suggestions that would save me money. I really liked Mike's honesty. He's clean cut and very knowledgeable. Mike and his team completed the many jobs from electrical work to some painting and some replacement of 14 interior doors w/trim, within a 2 day period. My husband and I are considering remodeling our master bath in a month or two and we think California handyman's crew has proven themselves. I am so glad that my husband is a stickler about checking companies out through the BBB, California Handyman Services had a AAA rating. Now the rating wasn't the only deciding factor but Mike's professionalism was. In closing we were very happy with all the work was done and will recommend their services to all my friends Thanks Mike! read more

I`ll start by saying that we first meet mike and his crew (California handyman services) about 7years ago. He started with just small jobs, repairing our outdoor decks, painting and electrical work ( Lights replaced, switches ect.). We own three homes thoughtout the bay area, one beening a Victorian built in 1887. This Victorian needed many repairs so we called several contractors including mike wit cal handyman services. He was the only contractor that showed up! This seems to be the norm in California, either they don't show or they don't finish. Our experiences with mike and this crews have been very positive, He's always on time, completes each and very project and He's very creative feel very lucky to have found mike and his honest business since. Mike has my phone number if you would like you may call. thank you Sandra Proctor read more

California Handyman Services was recommended to me and am very happy I hired them. I had them remodel my master bedroom and master bathroom. They painted both rooms, put up crown molding throughout and base boards. They tiled the bathroom floor and also put up a celing fan in the bedroom. They did an excellent job in a very timely manner. I certanily recommend California Handyman Services for small or large home improvement jobs. I plan to use them again later this year for my family room remodel. This is a very professional company and their work was excellent. Alice Torres read more

The job was pretty big and more than I could handle alone. They did trample a small Lime tree but I'll still give them 5 stars, as long as they replace the tree! Rogelio gave me a fair quote, I got two other quotes that were higher. He actually underestimated the height of the fence in his bid. But he is a man of his word and did not charge extra for his mistake. That's good service and shows he is a man of his word. His crew of 5 guys came in and got to work right away. They were very careful not to trample any plants or anything else for that matter. They discovered a few problems due to some questionable jobs other homeowners did 30 or more years ago. They took it all in stride, fixed the problems and found solutions that worked well. All of the crew were very polite and hard working. It was like having a bee hive buzzing through the yard. Pretty impressive!!! One thing cracked me up. Rogelio brought a microwave in so his crew could heat up their lunch. That's pretty smart and considerate of him. I suggested he get a small refrigerated for cold drinks. It was 90 plus the day they put the fence in. So yes I would highly recommend his company for remodeling jobs.
