He was so responsive and reliable, we just could not be happier with the outcome of the project. Throughout the whole experience he was extremely professional and communicated regularly with us as the work progressed.

We would not hesitate to recommend him and will definitely be reaching out to him for any future projects we may have. Thanks Joey!

I stayed at home waiting to meet with them, and they never showed. No call to cancel either.

The process and the results were again fantastic! The initial bid price was reasonable in our assessment and with a comparison. The final price was exactly the initial bid price with no uplifts, change orders or other surprises, despite some adaptations needed. The materials were all top quality. The equipment included scaffolding with some well-done ground-level engineering for level and stable footing on our sloped lot. The preparations included much masking and some disassembly of gutters and downspouts, all of which was done with skill and patience. The painting itself was all beautifully done with proper equipment and skilled technique: siding, windows, doors, gutters/downspouts, decks, deck rail and fencing... Wow, it all just pops it looks so nice, and now with another ten years or more protection from the elements. The crew was professional, courteous, safety-conscious and efficient. All comments, requests and observations that we made were accepted and acted on with no hesitation. Glenn Hamanaka, his manager James and the whole crew were a pleasure to interact with. Working with Hamanaka Painting for this challenging house-painting job was a very positive experience, once again. We are satisfied beyond expectations with the results. Thank you, Glenn and to the whole Hamanaka Painting team!

Update: after several weeks and numerous attempts, Josh has not tied up the loose ends of…read morereassembling my playhouse and moving it back to where it was prior to the job. He did some other sloppy handyman work (see pic of bunk bed he reassembled with missing screws and bolts in the wrong places) but totally avoided completion of putting my things back. Additionally, a heavy wrought iron chair, a kindling wood box and patio table were not restored to their original places on the side porch. As you can see it would be difficult for someone who is legitimately disabled to do. There is also minor unfinished paint spots, on the side. When my 11 year old daughter dragged my salvaged headboard around to the side of the house out of view I texted Josh if he "knew anything about it". In a bizarre twist he interpreted that as an accusation of theft. This guy already claimed he had tools stolen out of the back of his truck while on the job. Feeling bad, I gave him $100 cash for his loss and his workers got $50 gift cards each. Later on he found his missing tools with his worker who he said was actually his cousin. This guy apparently has a history of going off the deep end regarding theft... weird. I wonder what happened to him. Because I had asked about my headboard he decided to "punish" me by ignoring my requests to put the playhouse back. Then it got even weirder. He complained to me how rude I was that I did not share my pot with him. Things got worse with the imagined accusations of theft and not sharing my marijuana with him. Bizarre. At this point after a lot of headache I had to update my review to reflect the problematic issues that I am now facing. I am disabled and a single mom, I paid for the job he won't finish and now I have to file a claim with the court system because I have to hire someone else else to help finish putting everything back he refused to. He called me petty because I told him he was leaving me with no other option but to submit a formal complaint with the contractor's state licensing board. I am very uncomfortable with this man returning to my property. It's intimidating and a very depressing situation. I would steer clear of this guy, he has issues that go way beyond imaginary accusations of theft. 2nd update (later in the day): After reviewing my security cameras Joshua Forman did in fact return to trespass on my property to shove the playhouse against the house so my daughter couldn't open the door and left the slide detached in the dirt. Fortunately, my long time landscaper helped put some things back so I will reconsider the practicality of taking legal action. I will however report his unprofessional and disgusting behavior to the state contractors licensing board. I had to make a police report for his trespassing, what a bully!!!

I called Ace Handyman services, and within a week or so, Brian had them all done to perfection. He was prompt, respected our wishes and covered the bases nicely. Fixed a couple of doors, prepped and painted some exposed areas, put in a solution to our unused stovepipe, fixed a gate, replaced some rottnen deck boards, etc. Quickly and efficiently. A few days after he finished, we had about a week of rain, including some heavy rainfall. Our house sailed through it without a hitch, thanks to Brian and Ace. I won't lie, this is a somewhat expensive service. I could have hired someone off Craigslist or the random business card on the grocery store bulletin board, or via Yelp, as I've done in the past, for about a third of the hourly charged by Ace. However, my experience is that it's a complete crapshoot whether you get someone reliable and/or skilled, despite published ratings. Pretty often, the biggest problem is getting them to return calls and show up on time. I've had a few good ones, but as I say it's random. So if you have work that really needs to be done properly pronto, do yourself a favor and contact Ace Handman Northcoast. It's well worth it.
