Great company to do business with. First got an estimate by Mike himself (very businesslike and friendly) and then two workers Logan and Andrew showed up on time ready to work a week or so later. All the work I needed done including new gate latches, laminate flooring replaced and Ring camera installed were done in just a few hour's. Everything was done quickly, neatly and put back in place. Andrew and Logan are total professionals! Totally recommend this Local Family owned company. They did a lot of work for reasonable price, even hauled away some items not negotiated which helped me a lot! read more

Totally rude white privileged company.Blocked the sidewalk when they had plenty of parking,heavy use of profanity,wasn't surprised when when I saw their work either,awful and lacking skill and quality.Handyman is another term for jack of all trades..and master of nothing. read more

Mike and his people are great. Once I figured out that they respond to Yelp (not everybody else), I asked them to install a cooktop and vent (which I bought at Reids, who recommended Mike's after their delivery guys couldn't install them). Justin and Andrew were on time, clearly knew what they were doing, cleaned up afterward and were very pleasant. Might need a dishwasher installed in March.... read more

MHS came to our aid and did a brilliant job at a fair price. Our home needed a whole house re-plumb which necessitated significant demolition of the home by the plumbers - walls, ceilings, foundation, showers. MHS followed the destruction of the plumbers by putting the entire house back together as promised on time. Their crew and leadership were available and easy to work with. They listened to what we wanted and made very helpful suggestions that significantly improved the results of the project. They worked skillfully and diligently to get our home completed with an even better result than we initially expected. Work was done by very professional, hard working, knowledgeable craftsmen. They also worked to keep the home clean as work proceeded. We would highly recommend MHS for any and all work - no job too big or too small. Thank you MHS for getting us back into our home with an outstanding result at a great value..!!! read more

After the ceiling collapsed due to an air conditioner leak Mike's did a wonderful job of putting the room back together. However I have now called 2 or 3 times to schedule some work only to reach voicemail and get not even the courtesy of a call bsck. read more

I was referred to Mike's Handyman Service to repair my window. Melissa, from Mike's Handyman Service, had great communication with me. She advised me when Mike and the crew was coming over. And they were prompt and on time. Mike first came and identified and analyzed the problem of the window. He suggested a time and day when repairs could be made. Melissa was able to schedule and send out a crew. Logan and Andy came to make repairs on that scheduled time. They were very knowledgeable and quickly identified the best solution to make repairs. They immediately made repairs, double checked their work, checked the area was clean before they left and made sure I was satisfied. Logan and Andy were very courteous, professional and clean. I appreciate their services. read more

I got the referral from Reid's Appliances in Ventura where my mom purchased her washer dryer. I needed an installer to move the machines to my house after mom passed away since we were selling her home. They also disposed of my other washer /dryer. Two men named Dan did the work. They were strong, polite and very capable. I recommend this company. read more

Jason from Mike's handyman service almost killed my parents. He and his coworkers left a pilot light unlit in my elderly parent's home on Friday. My parents were home for 2 days living with a gas leak. I walked into their house on a Sunday to smell gas in their home. Fortunately they didn't blow up before I arrived. I had to air out their home and light the pilot light myself. I give them 1 star because the stovetop they installed works well and looks nice. Beware of their lack of detail before hiring them. read more

Mike is definitely a good handyman but he is NEVER ontime and usually does not show up at all, without even so much as a call or text. He is a "One trick pony". LOL. He is good on the first job you have for him but then he goes chasing new business. read more

MHS deserves 5 stars from my experience. I do most handyman work myself but routing a cooktop vent through an existing cabinet with no vent, through a load bearing wall top plate, into an attic with a "California joint"' over the wall, and up to and through the roof isn't a job I wanted any part of. I accepted their offer late in my time frame after an AC contractor balked at the cabinet and wall plate work. After Mellissa (very professional) heard my plea for help,They started the job next day! Turns out Mike has different people for different jobs (wow - unexpected). I saw three different guys for this job, cabinet, ductwork and electrical. Completed in 1.5 days, the quality of the work was outstanding. Perhaps equally as important, the price was very reasonable (competitive). These guys are good! read more

Mike and his crew have done several projects for me over the past 7 years. He's reliable and always makes sure the job is done right.

The amount of damage done to my furniture is inexcusable. He overcharged me to move a room only 15 mins. My roommates said he too his time moving after i left. Below is all the damage that accrued to all my brand new furniture read more

Mike and his crew were cool people. He came with two other guys which initially I thought was odd at first and I was hesitant to hire him. They did a daily rate and in a certain time period they would get all of the work done. He said they would work for 7hrs and that rate would cover the 7 hours. They would get as much as possible done in that time. I had given Mike a list of things that I'd want done and most of those things were completed. Everything that Mike himself completed seemed to be quality work. I do have to say that there were a couple issues after they left that we ended up having to figure out on our own or fix. We had a few three-way light switches that were not wired correctly and so my boyfriend has been going crazy trying to figure those out and I had asked for another thing to be done and it was just a little sloppy so I spent a whole day cleaning it up and I still haven't been able to remove it. Mike himself did not work on these things. Other than those two things, no real issues and they didn't stop for breaks every five minutes or leave to pick up food and come back or anything like that. They worked the entire time and took one break and got back to work. Mike even did an extra few jobs that were not listed so that was cool. read more

We needed some work done at our home and Mike and Logan did an outstanding job at a fair price and we will hire them again

They repaired nut ceiling from water damage. They were good about putting down protection on the floors and items surrounding the damage area. Very polite workers. Listened to my issues. Fine workmanship. Cleaned up nicely. This was my second Tom using this company read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mike and his crew. There is no job too big or too small. Every bit of their work is solid and very high quality. I lost my husband suddenly during a major renovation. Mike stepped up to the plate and handled everything. He is compassionate and kind. Every request I made he brought to fruition. I am very confident I am being treated fairly with every decision he helps me make. Their work is exemplary. Mike often went above and beyond what I ordered to assure that the quality of his work was nothing but the best. The crew shows up on time and works until late afternoon. They are polite and efficient, leaving the work area clean and tidy every day. read more

Answers first call and when I send pictures of the job there is no response at all. Probably picking and choosing the jobs and if they don't want it then they ignore you. At least have the audacity to say that you can't take the job so I can look elsewhere. Just wasted my time. read more

Needed help with a leaking pipe, they arrived and did half of the work then disappeared never returning phone calls. Avoid the headache call someone else. read more

Mike and his crew are honest, efficient, clean and prompt. We will continue to do business with them whenever we need to. Don't hesitate to hire this company!! read more

It is hard to contact anyone. Almost every time I call I have to leave a message. The lady at the office always seems to call back when it comes to payment. They did a couple of small jobs when I first moved into my house by the recommendation of my realtor. They did a decent job. I have another job that needs to be done. I have left 3 messages over the past month but no one has called me back to inquire about the job or let me know if it is something they can do. How are they still in business with such poor customer service? read more

I asked Mike if he did handyman jobs as well as construction. He assured me he did. I asked for quotes for two bigger jobs, and one smaller one, which was replacing the threshold at my front door. I decided to do the front door first, to see the work performed. Well, I'm still waiting. Despite multiple emails, and numerous phone calls to the company, they refuse to contact me back, there is no appointment scheduled. I even asked that if they weren't going to do it, could they at least let me know so I can find someone else. Crickets. What an unprofessional operation this is. If you don't do small jobs, say so. Don't leave customers hanging because then you get reviews like this. All you needed to do from the very start was say you didn't want to do this job. Rude, unprofessional and inconsiderate. Oh, you lost the bigger job because you wouldn't do this one. Oh, well. read more

I needed a water heater replacement. Called Mike's Handyman and they took care of everything. Got me a high quality product at a good price. They covered all the details in the installation. Installed a pan, hooked up a drain and strapped it down, bled the water lines after installation and tested the unit. They took care of all the details and all it took was one phone call and they were out the next day. I'll definitely use them again. read more

We had a confirmed starting date for our job with Mike. I get a text on that date telling me he took another job. Of course he wasn't man enough to tell me over the phone or answer any of my follow-up questions. Glad he didn't work on house. Buyer Beware !!! read more

Terrible all around. Shoddy work, and EXTREMELY poor communication. Told us it would take 6 weeks and it took more than 5 months. We were living out of the garage the whole time. Wouldn't show up for weeks at a time without notice or explanation. Was a "friend doing us a favor", but just took advantage and did whatever he wanted. A lot of things not done right, done as promised, or done at all. Would NEVER recommend. read more

Mike's crew sanded and repainted my cabinets and did an amazing Job! Since I was so impressed I just had them do a little bit of extra stuff and they were very happy to take care of it for me. They set up plastic all in my house to keep it extremely clean. I was dreading having the dust from sanding all over my house but didn't have that problem with this crew. I highly recommend them! Thank you Mike! read more

Extremely professional, clean, and courteous, they will go beyond their call to make sure you are happy with their work- do not hesitate to call them up. read more

This was mine and my husbands first time ever having professional work done on our first condo and I didn't really know where to start , found Mikes Handyman service on Angie's List and Art came out and gave us estimates for a few things I wanted done . Art was super easy to communicate with and schedule , so so helpful and gave us an awesome deal . Thank you so much Art and can't wait to knock out the rest of the list . read more

hired this company to come evaluate the job, needed three fans and window screens installed. A man came in the mike's company vehicle, evaluated everything and never called me back, I called back a few days later spoke with a woman who said I would get a call regarding appointment. No call. I called again, left voicemail as well. Never got a call back. Disappointing read more

I hired Mike to do the electrical work on my kitchen remodel and Im so glad I did. First of all his bid for the job was Significantly lower than others I recieved. He was there the next day and finished in 2 days as promised. His crew was polite, curtious, and were neat and clean. I will use them for any future work I have,and recommend him to anyone who needs an electician, or any other handyman work needed. read more

I must revise my review - what a change from my tremendous praise based upon a recommendation and the first impression of the owner who gave me an estimate and fixed a piece of wood on my gate and then said he would come back to do a long list of repairs. Boy I should have waited because Mike needed to be chased down to get an appt since he didn't come when he said he would but I was happy when he set a date Then the nightmare began. He didn't show but sent three kids to do my job. The two who worked on replacing fence posts and a concrete block were great and hopefully their work will pass the test of time. The third acted like he had never touched a tool snd his work proved it. He installed a towel bar crooked and a toilet paper holder below designated spot leaving metal molly bolt from old one showing When he fixed it he left a big hole in wallpaper trying to remove Molly bolt. He didn't patch all the holes in closet wall and the ones he did weren't smoothed over so very lumpy Then he went outside to patch a fine crack in concrete and left it a big glob not even smoothed out. Finally he patched a post under a decorative shelf in front of a window and left it half done for another builder friend who stopped by to show me the incomplete mess. I worked with the kid to get house numbers up properly snd I was shaking after he left because I had to follow him around to check every little thing. I've never seen anyone this bad sent out to do these simple tasks. The worst was a speaker for an intercom I needed replaced He picked up a safety pin and a spring on the magnet back and installed it so loosely that when I touched it it swayed back and forth. After showing it to him he said he would fix it snd I couldn't wait for him to leave. I was paying $1759 for all of this remember and it wasn't to have a teenager screw it up. It rained and the concrete patch washed away leaving the crack wide open. I'd had it and complained and I had supplied most of the materials needed. Mike came out to his credit snd went over it all with me and redid what wasn't good and then told me about the pins and spring on my speaker and that the motherboard was damaged and now useless. He took down the toilet paper holder to try to fix the groove left and told me there was a big hole Behind it - since we had removed all the old fixtures I knew the kid had created it and that damaged the wallpaper. The kid isn't an electrician so I was concerned and Mike fortunately redid it but it was already no longer functional. He fixed the concrete correctly and patched the closet holes while the kid redid the patch job on the post.when I checked layer he still hadn't filled in all the holes but simply painted over it again. Can you believe this - no lie/this really happened - how mike had the nerve to send this incompetent to screw up so badly I don't know but it sure has left me thinking carefully about hiring this outfit ever again. This kid needs to find another trade or he will ruin Mikes business as well as his reputation - maybe that was his intent. You can't make this stuff up. The most demeaning part about this is that I'm a retiree and to think that someone would think I was stupidly deserving of such shoddy treatment at the not so little cost of $1750.00 is the most troubling. It's something the elderly have to be concerned with it seems snd that's so sad . read more

Called this company based on some very good Yelp reviews. At the beginning of August, when I called, was told the first available date was August 13. That was fine. I was then asked what I needed done. I explained to the receptionist that I needed some shelves and a cabinet installed. Seemed like a fairly small and simple job, to me. I was told a technician would be out between 10 and 11. Period. I was not told this would be just to take pictures and get information and THEN I would get an estimate. That was Tuesday. Today is Saturday and I have heard NOTHING. I also got a call on the day of the appointment and was told the technician would be coming at 1:00 not between 10 and 11! I was happy that they at least called to let me know he would be 2 hours late. Too bad it has been 5 days and still no estimate! read more

We needed help with installing a new bathroom vanity in our master bedroom.

He took his time and made sure that everything went smoothly. read more

Mike and his sons where very respectful and we really appreciated him responding when my last contractor had a death in the family. Great job and already have him down to do another project. Definitely recommend read more

The scheduled appointment was not only ignored by this company without any contact indicating that they would be delayed but when "Art" did call 3 hours later he said he was detained by another quote obligation in Malibu. It appears that this company is only interested quotes in the "higher crust" neighborhoods and doesn't really have an interest in the more "scaled down" opportunities. This company is going to learn the hard way that what goes around comes around especially when their business strategy involves in only going for the big bucks. I suspect this outcome was good for me since I won't have to contend with the possibility of my job being re-prioritized again for the sake of big bucks after a contract was signed. Recommend not only to walk way from these guys, BUT RUN! read more

I have used Mike's Handyman Service since 2009, the first time was a relatively big job moving our electric panel from inside the house to halfway across our house to the outside, upgrading it and connecting our HVAC. Since then, I have used them several times including fixing to two porches, repairing a shower and other "honey do" projects. Recently we had a power surge after a Edison repair which they came out that day to help us troubleshoot different components in the house that would have to be repaired, one of which included our sprinklers system that they repaired. I saw one reviewer state that they help the "higher crust", they are not like that at all. Mike and all of his crew have been nothing but courteous and professional. They tried to give you an accurate estimate of time but with any repair job there are times that you run into unexpected difficulties that consumes more time. Mike's Handyman Service are our first call for any repairs that are needed at our home and businesses. We have already set up our next project with them. read more

My wife and I needed electrical work done due to the installation of central heating and air. Mike and his crew did such a great job, we ended up having them do several other items around the house. All jobs done were completed correctly and professionally. Mike and his crew are great and worked very well around our 3 dogs. Next home project, they will be our first call. read more
