I can only think that all those 5-star reviews here and elsewhere were written by friends and family of the business proprietors, or by people who were paid to give those good reviews (they do sound very scripted, as if they were all written by the same sophomore Creative Writing major).
I called on a Monday, and they promised to send out a plumber to re-set a toilet and fix a leaky pipe between 2-4pm that day. 6pm rolled around. No plumber. Called several times and was promised the plumber was on his way. No plumber. They finally re-scheduled for Tuesday evening. Waited all day for the plumber and called several times to confirm. They kept saying he was "on his way". But by the end of the day...ANOTHER NO SHOW.
I had also scheduled with them to have a handyman to come out and give me an estimate for skylight repair. He was supposed to come Tuesday between 2-4pm. Another no-show, even though I called them earlier in the day to CONFIRM that the handyman was coming, and had to repeat the call several times after the supposed handyman didn't show up.
At that point, it seemed as if they were just joking about having a repair service. I made AT LEAST a dozen calls to them over the course of two days, and ended up with just a waste of my time. I finally called them up and told them not to bother sending anyone. I will call someone who runs an actual repair business, not these clowns.
Do not waste your time calling Handyman Services of Seal Beach. They are neither reliable nor responsive. I wonder if they even really employ anyone but a bunch of "agents" to answer the phone and pretend to schedule repairs. read more
