Dan replaced an ethernet cable that had gone bad. It was a bit complicated because we needed him to figure out where the old cable was running and determine the best way to run the new cable. He was great. Took the time to talk us through the options and was very careful to keep things safe and tidy. read more

AN URBAN TREASURE We've enjoyed our totally remodeled kitchen for almost exactly a year, but the kitchen faucet started to loosen. To tighten it from below, we needed a basin wrench, which we don't have. So we decided to call in a handyman to do that plus some other little jobs. (I guess we can no longer call our kitchen "new" if something needs to be fixed. It's sort of like that first scratch on a new car.) Dan the Handyman stood out as one of the local best on the Web, so we gave him a call. He replied the next day, and he came out this afternoon. Dan was here for three and a half hours. He fixed the faucet (because we don't have that pesky basin wrench). He caulked a thirteen foot line of grout at the base of the back splash behind the kitchen counter and sink because there were spots where the grout had shrunk too much on drying. (I get messy with simple glue, so imagine me doing this.) He hung a sort-of heavy picture on the newly painted wall of our once-new, now-old kitchen (because I was afraid to attempt the job, screw it up, and then endure an unhappy wife). He installed some spacers in an electrical outlet such that I can now attach a wall plate and it won't look funny. (Remember, Dan's motto is "no job too small.") Finally, he spent most of his time running a new electrical line from a junction box underneath the house to an outlet he installed on the building's exterior front (so we can hang a lighted wreath on the façade next Christmas). I would probably have electrocuted myself had I tried this, um, at home. Dan is an urban treasure. He's a hell of a nice fellow and his work is impeccable. I wish we'd had more stuff for him to do. I'm keeping his business card accessible from the rest of the clutter. There's no need to go further looking for a handyman. Dan's your guy. P.S. 3/18/14 Dan returned today to expertly and efficiently: 1. Repair a leak under the bathroom sink. 2. Replace a toilet fill valve. 3. Shave-down the surface of a door that's been causing it to stick depending on the weather. 4. Replace a plate on the lock in a side gate that serves to hold the tongue in position. 5. Seal around the front housing of a postal box built-into a brick pillar; it leaks when it rains. (In Southern California, when is that, exactly?) Now, granted, any husband who's a Real Man should be able to do at least 2, 3, and 5, but I came to the realization a long time ago that I'm not a manly Mr. Fixit. The wife would agree. As a matter of fact, she's the one who, probably out of desperation, originally found Dan's listing. At the risk of burdening Dan with more work than he can handle, you should call him. He's an Urban Treasure who, with any luck, should become an Urban Legend. read more

***WOW*** SO NICE!!! PROMPT RESPONSE. EXCELLENT WORK. FAIR PRICE. I was unable to open my front door... without an exit strategy in case of emergency for my mother. I called Crown City Hardware and asked if they could fix my 90+ year old Mortise lock. Since I was unable to bring the lock into the store, they suggested Dan Fernandez, aka Dan the Handyman. Within a few minutes of placing a call to Dan, he responded, scheduled a same-day time, arrived promptly, fixed the problem AND took the cylinder out from the lock and made new keys... all for a fair price. So nice to find someone that actually does what he says he will do and is honest. SOOOOOOOO HAPPY with his work and grateful that we are safe again. THANK YOU, DAN THE HANDYMAN... YOU ARE AWESOME! read more

We have used Dan for many years and have found him to be very talented, quick, and fair with the price. He has rebuilt a closet, did major repairs on a termite infested garden structure, built a new driveway gate and garden gate. He also has many good ideas and suggestions which have been very beneficial. Additionally, Dan has a great sense of humor and is extremely pleasant to work with. Highly recommended. read more

We absolutely rely on Dan. He has taken on so many jobs for us: installing a mail slot in a 90-year-old door, re-caulking our aged pool coping, even though he hadn't done it before. (Beautiful job, by the way.) Even labeling an electrical panel where the lettering had all worn off. On and on. We save up jobs for him to do, then email AND call. (He's so busy that he doesn't always get to his email messages right away.) Calm, professional, capable. I read here that he's not taking on new clients. Thank goodness we're already on the list! I agree with the other reviewer, he's an 11! read more

Dan is super helpful, honest, friendly, and efficient. If you have a honey do list I highly highly recommend him! Thank you so much Dan!

Dan was punctual and honest. He replaced my shower door, tightened a toilet, fixed door knobs and my mailbox among many other things. I will use him for all future projects. Can't recommend him enough! read more

Dan is great! He is punctual, polite, and honest. What more do you need? He replaced my bathroom exhaust fan, including ordering the new fan and having it delivered to his house I wouldn't have to deal with the hassle. I will be using Dan for all future small projects! Can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Dan is the third handyman I've tried and i am finally satisfied. He arrives ON TIME, he works steadily all day and he has a beautiful asthetic. Very important to me. I give him creative license and he always comes up with an imaginative solution. The first two guys were awful, but I didn't know it cause I was settling for what I could get. Now that I use Dan, exclusively, I am well aware of the poor quality of work I had done. I have him come for a full day to tackle my list of honey-do's and he is efficient, timely, frugal and excellent. Thank you DAN! read more

Dan installed my new ceiling fan in record time, and it works perfectly! Fast, efficient and friendly. Very reasonable prices. He's my Go-To guy for fixing stuff. read more

He did it again today took 5 hrs. Thank you so much Dan...Wnderful job.

Dan was prompt and did several small things in 4 hours - replaced faucet, smoothed out (someone's else crappy) wall patch work, mounted TV, assembled bookcase, installed window lock. He did very good work and quickly. Very reasonable rate. There were a couple of things he didn't do (garage drywall, repair wood floor), and I didn't know ahead of time that there was a 4 hour max, but prioritized list helped to ensure what was important got done. read more

Dan did a great job for me installing two exterior blinds, one motorized and one manual. The work was done in two hours and the workmanship was very good. He was prompt, professional and very pleasant. His price was very fair. I would not hesitate to use him again. read more

Dan fixed the front door of my condo - I am glad that I found him! He was honest, prompt, and responsive during the whole process, and his price was fair. It's hard to find a reliable and truthful handyman/contractor these days. I will be doing to Dan for future repairs. Thank you Dan! read more

You the man Dan! What a great service even on Sunday on your family time. So appreciated :)) thank you thank you.......

Dan put together a media cabinet that I got on Amazon. It was reviewed to be a very, very difficult assembly that took people 8-12 hours with all kinds of problems. Not only did Dan finish in less than two hours, he also bypassed all of the errors that other people had (e.g., the magnets didn't keep the door shut effectively; pieces ended up damaged). Instead I got a beautifully put-together piece in a very speedy time period. He also was very good at communicating when he'd arrive and was right on time. I'd highly recommend him. read more

Used Dan again to fix a broken bed frame. He had the frame fixed in 1 hour, charged a minimal fee for materials, and we didn't have to spend another night sleeping on the couch. Great guy, great service. read more

Dan does really great work. Definitely recommend.

Thank you, Dan he does great work and really appreciate your honest work and manageable prices.

This man is incredible. We had been having problems with our kitchen light fixture (it was eating fluorescent bulbs), and Dan came and fixed it, using energy-saving LEDs. Amazing. He also planed down the bathroom door, fixed the gasket on the doorway to the garage (so the door closes more easily now), and took care of the motion detector light as well. Absolutely wonderful. Highly, highly recommend!! read more

I am so grateful I found Dan! I found him on Angie's list and decided to give him a call. He came out the next week and checked everything off my to-do list in about 3 hours. He gives off good vibes and is trustworthy. He has an easygoing personality and was patient with me and my tasks. I would recommend him to anyone and felt totally safe being alone with him in our house. I am definitely going to call him again and am still loving the work he did for me a few months ago. Felt his good work needed some acknowledgement. Thank you! read more

Dan was able to help us fix our couch quickly and efficiently. He showed up on time, did the work we needed within his estimated time. We'll definitely use him again. read more

I used Dan to install a garbage disposal. I found him after calling several plumber/handyman services who either never returned my calls or quoted ridiculous amounts of money for what was probably a one or two-hour project. Not only did Dan call me back right away, he was prompt, professional, and charged a very reasonable price. He even fixed part of my kitchen sink that had been installed incorrectly. I would definitely use him again. read more

I am so glad I found Dan the Handyman! I needed the front door trim replaced and a wooden window sill repaired, and Dan did excellent work! He arrived on time and finished the job in a very timely manner. He is definitely an honest handyman you can trust. Thank you, Dan for your great work! read more

Dan is great! He fixed my toilet and bi-fold closet doors so quickly. I called a handy man before and he could not fix at all. Dan definitely is very knowledgeable and experienced. Highly recommended! read more

Dan was at my house within 10 minutes of his return call. He fixed my dumbwaiter in 5 minutes!!!
