Gary was so easy to reach - thank you for being prompt and reliable! I called him for routine roof maintenance just to make sure nothing is wrong with my roof prior to storms. (I previously had another roofer come patch in 2019. he was wonderful too, but a bit flaky). Gary did some wet patches for me. very happy with the ease of reaching him and how professional he was. Thanks Gary! read more

Needed a side door fixed and rebuilt. Gary was very responsive and it was beneficial that he is local to the area as well. He worked with me on a few options to get a completed product. Happy with the results considering this is a custom side door that you cannot buy off the shelf and the price was more than fair. Would not have trouble reaching out again for smaller projects such as this one. You will be able to save on money by working with a handyman and not a large company usually. Do not hesitate in communicating your needs and Gary will do his best to meet them. Thanks again Gary~ read more

Gary's Handyman Service did a timely and great job on our roofing project in the Pasadena area at a fair price. The roof was worn out and had a leak around the chimney. Gary came quickly after we contacted him for an estimate and inspected the roof. He made a few good suggestions including placing a water diverter above an area of the fascia that is prone to water damage. After agreeing on the terms, Gary scheduled his crew to come out in a matter of days. They completed the project quickly and with attention to detail, including hauling away waste and sweeping up the patio and driveway below the part of our house that they re-roofed. I certainly am keeping Gary's contact info for future needs. read more

Very responsive and professional. Gary put in a new front door for me and was communicative throughout the entire process. got the installation done in a day and the new door looks good. read more

We had a really old single-pane mostly glass front door and after accidentally breaking a few panes, we decided to upgrade to a new steel door. Our existing door was so old that it was shorter than the typical 80 inches and almost an inch thinner as well. Gary did an excellent job at removing our old door and frame, cutting a larger opening, installing the new one, and cleaning up the mess. He was prompt, quick, professional, and his price was reasonable. read more

Gary is amazing! I had a French door installation completely botched--the door dragged, leaned, and the previous installer even cut into the frame. I called Gary Monday night and he was here Tuesday at noon. He did a great job for a very fair price. We will definitely be using him again! read more

I have been the maintenance manager of 30 townhomes in Arcadia for the past 24 years. I started to hire GARY as our handyman about 20 years ago. I can't say enough good things about his work. He is always dependable, reliable, professional and reasonable for all he does for our property. He has done painting, plumbing, electrical, drywall, tile, vinyl siding repairs, masonry, fencing, roof repairs, and just about anything that needs to be fixed, repaired or replaced. The best thing about GARY is that I can count on him to be there when I need him. We have had a lot of emergencies on the property over the years and he always finds time to be there when we need him the most. He has also taken care of many of the individual units personal projects that people have and they've also been very pleased with his work, and always ask for him when they need someone they can trust. I would not hesitate for a moment, to give GARY the highest recommendation for any project that may come your way that requires the services of an Excellent handyman. I don't know what we would've done without him over the years. Thanks GARY for everything you do for us read more

Gary is the best! Professional, patient and reliable. He was able to check out a roof leak the same day I inquired, without hesitation and followed up with solutions, quotes and photos. Gary + crew repaired a flat roof for our property very quickly and efficiently, excellent work. Handymen are hard to come by, will be using him in the future! read more

Excellent handyman services! Showed up on time even I called almost the end of the day. He's still accommodating and came to my house for services. Curtains and Drapes are being installed.

Overall, he is professional, focusing, efficient and can complete the job in a timely manner. Highly recommend for ppl who wants to find a good and trustworthy handyman.

Gary is a true professional. He provides excellent service and delivers great value. I highly recommend Gary.

He and his team completed interior painting, repaired laminate flooring and installed 2 security doors. I will be calling him for future projects. Thank you! read more

It is unfortunate that you have to leave at least one star on Yelp. I was very disappointed to find, after looking at the work completed by Gary's Handyman Service, that the roof eave facia boards were not primed coated, and were not even painted on the edges or the back side, and only the face was single coated, with a thin enough coat that you can even see the brush strokes. The gutter bracket supports were all cut/removed and were not replaced. The nails that were removed from the gutters were just left lying on top of the roofing material. Gary and his workers didn't even go the little extra mile to remove the leaves from the gutter that he removed, then replaced... he could have turned the gutter upside down to dump the leaves. He tried to tell me that the gutter bracket supports were that way when he got there...NO, they definitely were not...the cut/grind marks are fresh! When confronted, he tried to argue that the wood had indeed been primed and painted, but as you can see in the photo, the exposed edge (and back side that you can't see) has not even been primed! This is a roof facia board that is exposed to sun and rain alike, and without being properly primed/painted, there will again be dry rot, which was the reason he was contacted in the first place! All he could say about everything he did incorrectly was 'it's no biggi', ' it's no biggi'...if it wasn't a 'biggi', then why wasn't it done properly in the first place?! At first, I requested he come back and finish the job properly, and as promised. As communications went back and forth, I decided I didn't even want him back on the property. I would rather pay someone who is reputable come and redo his mess. Again, I am very disappointed with Gary's work. My mother-in-law is 88 years old and she paid a premium price in order to get this work done, and I didn't question it because I thought he would do a professional job. It is not good to take advantage of anyone, but an 88-year-old woman?! Because most people won't/can't go up on a roof, or check out concealed areas, that doesn't mean that it's not expected that you perform your work in a professional manner. I would strongly suggest you use someone else for your needs...ANYONE else! Gary's honesty, work ethic, integrity and quality of work are COMPLETELY subpar. read more

I found Gary's on yelp. I hired him to do a drywall repair and patch job. He and his crew were available to me and finished the job in a timely manner. He took the time line very serious as I had a pregnant tenant, and when my insurance company called a second time to get verification that the work was actually done, he happily provided documentation so I would get my final reimbursement. All in all a good experience. A+ plus plus plus plus read more

Sunday morning our kitchen faucet breaks and our usual plumber doesn't work on Sundays so I jump on Yelp to look for local handymen in our area. Even though on Yelp it says he was Closed on Sunday, I still requested for a quote. To our surprise, he responded within the hour and said he would be available after lunch! The price he quoted was reasonable for labor--not the most expensive and not the lowest. When Gary came, he took a look at the existing faucet and the new faucet we bought and let us know which parts was still needed. My husband went out to go get the parts at the Home Depot nearby, so I think that helped with minimizing the cost of the repair/replacement. Gary was very quick and finished up within 2 hours (and that was including the time waiting for my husband to get the correct parts). He left his business card behind for us which states he is fully insured. I would definitely reach out to him again in the future if we have anything else. read more

I was really impressed with Gary - easy to get an appointment, very reasonable price, excellent work, professional, on time, just all around a great handyman to have found. I will definitely use him again for small and large projects. read more

This guy has no clue what he is do charge me $150 for nothing didn't fix anything on my water heater don't trust the one review

We had Gary come to install our blinds. He arrived on the promised time . We had total of 17 blinds and one door. He completed the job to our satisfaction and all our blinds were properly installed. There was a manufacturing defect in a couple of blinds and Gary was nice enough to say if we got the new blinds from the manufacturer , he would come by later to install them. While he was here , we also asked him to install our washer and dryer , and he did it in no time . I would highly recommend him. read more

As single woman, it can be a bit challenging trusting two types of workers: mechanics and handymen. It's just not easy to tell if they're on the up and up. And when you find one you can trust, it can feel like cause for celebration. And so I about did a little jig when I got the call from Gary that he'd finished fixing the venting on my water heater. I was so relieved because I had to leave him with my house door unlocked, realizing that I was literally trusting a stranger with most all of my worldly possessions. But I had little choice because I was under a tight time constraint. Earlier in the week the gas company had informed me that fumes were not escaping properly from my water heater and that I should contact a plumber to correct the problem. After about 12 calls to various plumbers and handymen, Gary called to let me know that he could meet me at my house within the hour. We met, I paid him, returned to work and within the hour Gary called to update me of his progress. He didn't even charge me more for a part that he had to replace. Overall, Gary is the perfect handyman--knowledgeable, quick, clean, trustworthy, and kinda cute. read more

I can't say enough about Gary. He's skilled, honest, a true pro and blazingly FAST. From the moment I called him and got his super fast response, he was ON IT from the get-go. I had a huge problem regarding a rotten exterior door at a rental property and needed real help getting it fixed. Of all the people I reached to for help, only Gary showed up when he said he would (within 2 hours of my initial call), diagnosed the problem, researched the materials needed, gave me a fair estimate in pricing, and a window for service (which was the very next day and the day after). Once I gave the go-ahead, he was at the site again early the next morning. When we uncovered ANOTHER problem with the job (rotting below the door jam), Gary gave me another fair estimate and simply took care of the issue. In a very short time, what had been turning into a Landlord's nightmare was fixed and done. He's efficient, prompt, honest, and knows his stuff. His work is great. Almost as much as his great work, I so appreciate his communication as the project is progressing (sending me pics fo the progress, texts, calls) - it's so helpful when I can't be there on site. Gary is now my new "go-to guy" for all future projects - hands down, no question . Thanks again huge, Gary. read more

I had Gary remove and haul away my old gutters. He was very polite, his price was fair, and the guys cleaned up nicely afterwards. I'd use him again without hesitation. Mike M - Pasadena, CA read more

Gary was very responsive and professional. I needed a quote for a fire resistance door replacement and probably called 10 places. Gary was very easy to talk to and came to the property to measure the size of the door next day. He was on time every time, and always got back to me right away when I had questions. When dealing with any types of contractors, the communication is the key. Gary responded to my text and calls very quick. I was very happy with his work and ended up having him fixing the kitchen faucet as well. Thank you Gary! read more

Gary is very professional and a good craftsman! He did the job of removing shelves in my closet Quickly and neatly in a short amount of read more

Asked Gary to help us to install a new water heater. He also helped us to take away the old water heater without charge. This is the second time we asked for his help. Very good service. We are happy with the result. Will ask his help again if we need to. read more

I had an issue with my staircase that nobody wanted to tackle until I called Gary. I told him about my issue and he LISTENED to my need rather than just assuming what I wanted like so many others that I called before him. I had a spiral staircase that needed to be reinforced to my loft. Gary shows up all no nonsense, takes a look and diagnoses the issue in a very logical way. Hey we all know sometimes you gotta think outside the realm of conventional thinking to resolve a problem. I appreciated that he uses his brain to solve a problem rather than just doing template work as a handyman. That issue got fixed along with him installing 2 faucets, and a valve that was totally broken that would have leaked in the future. I also like to mention that he spent extra time to figure out how to shut off the water in the complex to no avail but he CAME BACK another day in the middle of his busy schedule when I did figure out how to shut the water off. Gary goes above and beyond, is very clean, and has a fair rate as well. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending his services for anybody that needs some handy work. read more

Gary was nice in person. However, being a 1st time home buyer and not knowing much about home repairs, I feel taken advantage of on cost and work done. I don't feel confident in the level of honesty and never want to hire a random handyman again. read more

Turned out there was no leak under the kitchen sink and the electric short in the bathroom - just loose wiring. The best part was that Gary did not charge me a single penny. I'm a customer for life. Thanks Gary. read more

Did such a great job! Very reliable and prompt. I called for some repairs, he came the next day and fixed multiple problems for a good price. He was honest and straightforward about the process. read more
