Even though Les is not driving here in Chino Hills to fix a pipe burst, but he sure helped with my client to find the water shut-off valve and directed him to do some preventive things. In that sense, he helped me via the phone. Very nice person and sure will recommend him if you have a job needs to be done. thanks, Les. I will keep you in mind when i am referring jobs.

called this morning to have an estimate for dyer vent hood to be replaced. Prior to calling payless handyman a professional came by to my house gave me an estimate of $475 with 10 yr warranty. Then i called payless hoping to get a better deal. A very rude and unprofessional man answered gave me an estimate of $900-1200. Change your name to PAYMORE rudehandy man!! read more

I apologize that u are so offended that you need to reply with anything else other than an apology. But customer service skills are needed here! A better response would have been... " We are closed today, do you mind if I call you back Monday". If you treat your potential customers this way, I can imagine what kind of work you do. Also your definition for handy man must be different than mine. Hand·y·man handēman/ noun a person able or employed to do occasional domestic repairs and minor renovations. read more

Like a previous review, I had given this company 5 stars after exceptional service and work. However, poor communication and no follow through are not a good way to keep customers. I have texted and called Payless Handyman regarding some work, but the response was very spotty. I hate to do this because I liked him a lot during our first few interactions. But when his responses are non-existent, this just does not suit well. read more

I wish I could write this review based on their work but I couldn't even meet with them to get an estimate on the job! The first time we were supposed to meet the gentleman texted me 15 minutes before we were supposed to meet that he couldn't make it. That's fine, things happen. We were supposed to meet today and after waiting over 30 minutes for him to arrive I had to leave since my poor 8 month old (sorry no sitter available) was getting cranky. While driving away I get a call that they were 10 minutes away. It's a shame that they proved to be so unreliable they were very kind. Eugh back to the drawing board for my bathroom renovations. read more

Well, I can honestly say that I spent some time with Les on the phone going over some "potential" repairs needed to my property. In speaking to Les, we agreed that it was too much of a distance and the cost would be much more that I would anticipate. I've dealt with many handyman companies and KNOW firsthand what dishonest sounds like. Les, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY. read more

My tenant called and complained about a leaking faucet and the closet door not opening. I called Payless Handyman to see if he could take a look at it. Payless Handyman gave me a "sight unseen" quote which was rather high, but I needed this done so I went for it. He arrived and called me to inform me of what needed to be changed. Of course it was more work than I thought, but the Payless Handyman took his time to explain why I needed all the extras. After the work was done, my tenant was happier than ever with the work. The bottom line is this. Payless Handyman is not cheap. However, you get what you pay for in terms of workmanship and customer service. They are a really easy company to work with and offer some of the best customer service I have ever experienced. After the job he told me that if I ever have any questions (even if it is regarding a DIY job), to give him a call. I am going to call him for all of my handyman needs and I recommend that those who are in search of a high quality handyman do the same. read more

Very happy with Les' customer service and expertise. He was very easy to talk to and got the job done quickly and charged a fair price. Seems like a down-to-earth, honest and friendly kind of guy. I will definitely hire him again and recommend to others. 5 stars in my book! I have added him to my contacts as my "go-to-guy", "fix-it-guy", "got-a-problem-guy", "save-my-ass-guy"....you get the gist. Problem solved, Steve read more

Great service! Great customer service. Spoke with Les when I called inquiring about installing a ring video doorbell. Very easy to set up an appointment. Fair price. Lance the technician came out and installed my Ring video doorbell in a snap today. I will most definently be using this company again for future repairs and installation needs around our home. Seems honest and trustworthy and would highly recommend this company. read more

I had Les do some work around the house and was very pleased with the outcome. He is VERY knowledgable and professional. After he was done with the work, he made sure everything was cleaned up. Like someone else said, his customer service was EXCELLENT!!! I will definitely be using him again for some other work that needs to be done around the house. BTW, I took away a star because it took awhile for him to give a quote on the job. read more

I was in need of A handyman service. We needed to finish some work that was left over from contractors that worked on the house that we were selling. I found Les, gave him a called. He answer the phone right away, I explained to him what I need it. He asked a lot of questions in regards to the job, before he even gave me a quote. We communicated back-and-forth. When it was time to do the job he was there on time. Les and his crew work fast and efficiently. I will hire them again when we have another house to sell. Or any other job that we have in any property. Thank you Les. read more

Payless Handyman - Kitchen range and hood.. - Handyman Near Me

Thank God for honest people. Called several other handymen today concerning an overhead rack that was giving me a lot of trouble in my garage. Thankfully I made the call to these guys who were extremely helpful and did a great job communicating what I was missing. Could have easily taken advantage but was honest and unbelievably helpful. Saved his number and will be calling in the future for any work I need done, can't rate him high enough! Felt like I was talking to a really knowledgeable, patient friend rather than a business. Thank you again! read more

I agree with most of these reviews about this person not respinding back to the customer. The business is called "Payless" but don't be fooled. I asked for a quote on something very simple and it was a ridiculous amount of money. Save ur money and time....go somewhere else. I am giving them 2 stars only because he did respond on the second call. Customer service goes a long way...just saying. read more

Came to my home on time and fixed my leaking toilet by anchoring it firmer to the floor and a better seal. Also cleaned up the mess made by the leak at a very reasonable rate. read more

We moved out of state and needed work done on a rental we were selling. Les was awesome! He jumped right in and made the repairs and became our eyes & ears on the repair project. He made sure everything was completed and ready for inspection. I highly recommend him and his company for great work and responsibility. His prices were also totally honest and reasonable. Thanks Les! read more

My wife and I contracted with Les to fix a sliding glass door, which was delayed once (beyond his control) due to weather. In the interim, our garage door motor broke, so we asked him to look at that as well when he came out. The initial estimate for the sliding glass door ($450-600) seemed a little high, but when he explained that he may have to remove/replace some tile to complete the job, but would need to inspect prior to finalizing the quote, I was okay with his estimate. He came out on a Tuesday, took a look at the sliding glass door, and determined that it could removed out the exterior of the house without damaging the existing floor. I asked him at that point for a revised quote, yet HE WOULD NOT PROVIDE ONE to me. I should've known something was up at that point, but as I was grateful for him simply coming out, I bit my lip. In the end, the door needed to be removed, the underside of the door cleaned/dehaired, and the wheels replaced (I was told the cost of this part was $100, but didn't independently verify). After 2 hours of labor, I was informed the fee was $400 (that pencils out to $150/hr of labor for him and his son to remove my sliding glass door, replace the wheels, and put the door back up. I felt this was a little high, but I paid w/ a card, and the work was excellent. For this part of the project, 4 stars (5 stars quality, 3 stars price). So WHY 2 STARS ON THE OVERALL RATING? I asked him to take a look at the garage door motor, and he confirmed my suspicions that it needed to be replaced. I asked him for an estimate, and he told me $450-475 (approx $300-325 for the motor, $150 for the installation). I asked him whether any one brand was better than any other, and he said "They're all good quality, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman." He confirmed that he would get the parts and come out the next day (Wednesday) to install, RAIN OR SHINE (it was projected to rain that afternoon/evening, but according to him, since he'd be inside the garage, the job could proceed). That night, I decided to do some price comparison, and realized that every single garage door motor I found was between $175-200, and that Lowe's offers $97 installation. The next morning, I texted him and expressed concern about the overall cost of the project given what I had found online, and told me I would be willing to pay $350 (the $200 high end price for a product with a lifetime warranty on the motor and any belt/screw drive, plus the $150 installation fee he had quoted me), but would be willing to pay more if he could show that the parts he was getting cost more than the $200 I found online (who knows, maybe they're higher quality?). He responded back by saying that "the Depot stuff is, in my opinion junk for the most part" (IF SO, WHY DID HE SAY THAT THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH QUALITY AS LONG AS I WENT WITH A MAJOR BRAND?!). He then talked about how he'd provide additional services like adjusting and lubing the door which justifies his higher price (indeed, I was willing to pay him $150 to do work that Lowe's charges $97 for). He then offered me to do the work for $425 in a text sent at 10am. I still thought this was excessive, as he had not commented at all on my question about the cost of parts. However, I still wanted to work with him (why, looking back, is beyond me), so I asked him to bring it in at $400 in a text sent at 10:45am. He then responds back at 11:30am saying that my negotiating with him "feels like a debate or trial", that "it sounds like we are not a good match for the garage door", that "I likely would not be happy with the services even at $400" and wishes me happy holidays. I immediately called him to tell him that there was no bad intentions on my part other than wanting a fair price for the work being provided. He eventually agreed to do the job for $400 cash, but when I asked him to confirm that he'd still be out that day to do the job he promised, he said "Well, I've already reassigned your crew to another job, so today's not possible." WHAT? His position? "If you are negotiating a price with me, we don't have a deal", and he will go so far as to pull a crew from a job if you even ask about price WITHOUT NOTIFYING YOU AS A CUSTOMER THAT THIS IS A POSSIBILITY SO YOU CAN MAKE THE CHOICE WHETHER TO CONTINUE WITH THE WORK. He then said he would schedule me for Thursday, WEATHER PERMITTING (even though the job is inside the garage). His reasoning for the change from his previous statement? "I don't want to walk in the rain and get my tools wet." That was enough for me, I contracted with another vendor and am very happy with the results of my garage door. Bottom line: If you have no concerns parting with large chunks of your net worth, and will NEVER question his prices, Les is a good contractor who does quality work. But HEAVEN HELP YOU if you even once question his pricing structure. He'd rather not work with you than negotiate a fair price. read more

Mr. PAYles, we had one 2 minute conversation. After you commented "what would be the point?" I simply replied with a "thank you" said nothing else and hung up. I'm not sure what your definition of thank you is. Why would I get confrontational when there are businesses I can go to. BEWARE Yelpers, this one is a piece of work.....NEED I SAY MORE? Hmmm, What's the saying? Don't need to take out the garbage, it'll take itself out. read more

I called looking for help with a Mold problem that was caused by the use of a Humidifier. I noticed mold on the wall of one of my bedrooms and needed to know what to do for treatment. Over the phone I was given a method of attack to kill the mold, something that may work for my situation. I just want to say I do not see service like this anymore for someone to take the time and give you help over the phone is priceless. read more

Giving Les 1 star is me being overly generous. Les stated he would arrive at my home at 9am and called me at 9:42am to tell me he was not able to make it until the evening. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and accommodated his request even though I'm the customer! Once he arrived he raised his price from $210 to $270 to paint and hang a closet door. I asked if he was willing to lower his price and he was rude and stated he didn't care if I had someone else do the job. Les then said it's probably better to have someone else do the job. Les was completely unprofessional. read more

I called these guys with a medium sized job and they wouldn't even bid it. They said they were so busy with jobs that were $100,000 to $300,000 that they didn't have time to do the small jobs anymore. They need to change the company name since they're no longer doing handyman work. Maybe it could be called "Not-So-Handy Man" or "Deep Pockets Handyman" or something if they really feel the need to keep the "handyman" in the name... read more

I had previously given Les 5 stars. But since I've called him twice to have other work done and he didn't even bother responding... I unfortunately have to reduce my rating to 2. Very nice man.. just doesn't follow up or follow through. I needed an estimate for installing an oven over a month ago. I sent him pictures of what I needed and never heard back. Though I don't think its his usual practice.. he's done this to me twice before. :\ Sorry Les.. but I'm just being honest. read more

I would not recommend anyone to seek services with this business, unless you would like to waste your time waiting around for a call back or for him to actually show up. I needed some minor fixes done. Les set up a time and date and even asked that I text him so he can put me in his calendar he text back and said thank you you are on schedule . His calendar must be imaginary because he never showed up or called. I text him and he apologized and rescheduled for the next morning, this time he showed up gave me an estimate and said he would return later on in the day to complete, surprise he didn't call or show up. read more

Nine days later and no response to my email inquiry. If you cannot take my business a polite response is the professional thing to do.

This guy is something else. So I called to have an open conversation about obtaining services and billing like most business owners or most normal adults would have. After all, isn't communication key?? This guy was absolutely rude and out of line. I hope his quality of work is better than his attitude. Odd thing is he's stopped by our office to drop off cards a few times to ask for business. Good luck dealing with this guy! read more

Less was amazing. I had a small problem in my home and he was straight up with me. I want everybody to know that good quality comes with time. Be patient. I will definitely call him again and looking forward to it. read more

less really messed-up an install of sec. screen door .said he would fix but no. charged $400. Ponoma Sec. Door charges $160. greg at 909-987-1292 for details read more

Google has more positive reviews than on yelp when I was trying to look at Les' reviews. Les came the same day to inspect and quote an estimate for a water-damaged wall. Came very quick to repair it up to standards. After completion of first job, scheduled an 2nd appointment to fix kitchen sink as I felt very satisfied with his work. Extremely detailed and professional. Gets the job done up to expectation. read more

I called Payless Handyman after an attempt to mount our new 60 in TV above our fireplace. Les called me right back within minutes of leaving a message. He was in my area buying supplies for another job he was working on, so he was nice enough to come right over. Thank God he did, because his professional advice was a blessing. He gave us a wealth of information on the "right" way to mount the TV over the fireplace and very important safety facts that we had not even considered. On his way out we asked him about a cable TV connection that we were having problems with and he actually was nice enough to fix it free of charge! We were really impressed and thankful for his willingness to help expecting no monetary compensation. Lets face it, you just don't see that often these days. We felt his quote was fair and that Les would get the job done the "right" way, so we booked them for the installation. I'm happy to say that I'm extremely happy with their work. They did a very professional job! There are no wires showing and they left nothing more for us to do. Usually, holes are left in your wall for you to figure out how to repair, but Les "completed" the entire job, and that included repairing the walls too. He even touched up other places on my walls that had nothing to do with the installation of the TV. We had another situation with our dish washer that we just couldn't figure out what went wrong with our installation. We called Les hoping he would be able to shed some light on the situation. Again, Les was kind enough to come over the next day and get to the bottom of what the issue was. It took time to solve the problem (a faulty new dishwasher) but he wanted not monetary compensation for his time, advice or help. So, do I recommend Payles Handyman? ABSOLUTELY!! Thanks Les! read more

We recently moved to the area and had many things that needed to be taken care of.......new faucets; disconnecting, exchange and reconnect existing washer & dryer with ours; pieces of art from Europe that had to go on the wall; curtain rods and curtains, etc Les offered us an excellent price for the whole day. His guys were on time, have good manners, they are very easy to work with, have a very good sense of layout (in terms of how to hang art), an excellent knowledge and were at all times very friendly and helpful. They were in our place three times and never left it dirty, at no time tools were flying around or we had to step over stuff. It was a pleasure working with Les and his team and for sure he will be the first to call when we need a handyman again. I can recommend him 100%. read more

I had a problem with a set of lights that suddenly would no longer turn on. I called Les and before coming over he had me walk through a couple of trouble shooting tasks. This helped me to isolate the problem to the actual wall switch. This surprised us both, as the house is only 6 years old and light switches don't typically malfunction. Les asked me if I thought I was capable of replacing the switch myself. I told him that I had done it before and could probably do it this time without burning the place down. He told me no charge and that he was happy that he could help me save the cost of his minimum charge for a house call. Les, thank you for your willingness to help. Next time something beyond my minimal abilities goes wrong with the condo, Les will be the first person I call. read more

These guys are great! Les and his son are really conscientious tradesmen and they can fix anything. From plumbing leaks to paint or water remediation work, wood floors or electrical they are right on top of it. Honest and reliable as can be, too! I have hired Les many times and feel like he may be the only guy I'll ever need for all the stuff that comes up when you least expect it! read more

Les responded very fast, was extremely professional, and was able to squeeze me into his busy schedule for an urgent job I needed on one of my commercial properties. I will definitely be using him again in the future. read more

Needed some mirrors hung up and Les got it done accurately,fast, and quietly. Very great service all around would highly recommend if you need anything done around the house. read more

Needed two fans removed and installed in Sept. 2013. Found Les here on "Yelp", he answered my call, and penciled me right in! Once he arrived got started right away, finishing earlier than expected. Costumer service and professionalism means everything and that's what I got! read more

I would not recommend for plumbing work. I hired him to install a sink, repair the surrounding tile and install a garbage disposal. Several mos later I had a sizable plumbing bill. Some of the plastic pipes were short cut and a rubber connector in the brand new garbage disposal had been ripped during installation. Instead of disclosing the damage and ordering a new part it was simply duct taped. I found out about the tape when the plumber pointed out the source of one of my two leaks. I thought I'd found my handiman. Very disappointed. read more

My boyfriend and I called Les last week after our home was burglarized and side door was kicked in. The door jam, drywall and wall studs were all broken. He came out within 2 hours to secure the door shut for the night and explain the process of fixing the door and how long it would take. He then came back the next day, on time, to fix the door and wall and returned daily for two days, during Memorial Day weekend, to complete the drywall. He was knowledgable, professional and his prices were good. We would definitely recommend him to friends and family. read more

Poor telephone customer service skills; RUDE. He asked me to send him a text with photos. Called him later, said he would call back; I waited - no call. Decided to take my project and my money elsewhere. There are plenty other guys out out there who don't insult the customer right from the start. read more

I found Payless Handyman doing a Google search in my area. My experience has been positive and Les went above and beyond in providing a high level of service. I won't hesitate using this company in the future and you shouldn't either. read more
