We are so happy to have found Lamar Reese. He is a very accomplished handyman, with a surprising number of skills! Over the last year, he has completed multiple jobs for us, and has quite a few more on his roster! Initially, he replaced a rotted, load bearing post for us on our patio. Since then he restored and refinished our fancy standalone electric fireplace, which our dog had pretty much destroyed. He also repaired a vinyl fence that was falling apart due to high winds. Most recently we had him install a short fence around our new studio to create a private patio. Our next project will be to repair and install new vinyl fencing and gates to section off a finished area. There seems to be almost nothing Lamar doesn't know how to repair, install or replace. He is honest, hard working and finishes in a timely manner. When he quotes a job, he sticks by it and he is very affordable--especially for such high quality work. We are happy to highly recommend Lamar Reese as the handyman you want on your speed dial! read more

We have holes on our kitchen ceiling that need patching after lighting reconfiguration. My husband found Lamar on Yelp with great reviews. He showed up on time, with his PPE, and finished the job in one day. He even offered to paint the patches at no extra cost. The following week, he showed up on time as promised. You can hardly find people like Lamar, who is professional and respectful, with reasonable charge. We had ridiculous quotes from other companies. We're definitely doing business with him again on our next home projects. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

He was very professional and easy to work with. He was able to diagnose the problem with my sprinkler system and easily fix it while explaining the issue in Laymans terms. He provided good service, and I felt that he was being honest and helpful. I highly recommend Lamar. read more

Lamar did a FANTASIC job re-grouting our kitchen tile. He removed all of the old grout with precision, replaced it and sealed it like a true pro. His pricing was very reasonable and within a few days of when I started searching on Yelp the job was done. He was very responsive, showed up on time, and left the work area clean. It's hard to find both a competent and trustworthy handyman that serves the Hemet area. He is now our "go-to" pro and we will be using him often in the future. read more

Lamar did work for me 1 year ago and did a good job. He was supposed to come back yo do other work and ghosted me even after no less than 6 phone messages and texts. I recently called him again ( he actually returned the call maybe because he didnt recognize my number because it's been a while) and he said he remember ed me and acted like all was fine and dandy but that he didn't have his schedule with him. He never got back to me. I called him and left ANOTHER message and got ghosted again. I sent a text and no reply AGAIN. He did the same thing to a neighbor of mine. Moving on to someone more reliable with good customer service etiquette. UPDATE LITERALLY, within 5 minutes of my post Lamar texted me and he was not happy with my review. He said he was having car trouble and that's why he didn't answer my calls/messages/texts. Okay, well have u been having car trouble for a year now and that's why you haven't got back to me in all that time plus this week?? Funny how you can text me within 5 minutes of a Yelp review but you couldn't find 60 seconds to text or call me back all this time for a job I wanted you to do. read more

Reese got back to my message promptly, he gave me a bid to hang some pictures in my home. We scheduled an appointment for the next day and he showed up on time. He covered his shoes as to not dirty my rug which I thought was very considerate and professional. He hung my pictures with no problem and efficiently. They came out evenly hung and look great!.. He is very friendly and polite. I asked him to do a couple of other things for me that we had not scheduled and he had no problem taking care of those items as well. His services are fairly priced and I would definitely recommend him. I will be hiring him for more work in the future. read more

I'm absolutely amazed with outcome of the tree trimming service Reese the Hardy Connection did on my Yucca trees today. He responded to my inquiry immediately and was at my house the next day, on time a ready to work. This was an extremely large tree trim job, as our Yucca trees were 10-12 feet tall and severely overgrown. He was finished and cleaned up in a little over 3 1/2 hours. I fully recommend this business. read more

Mr Reese was very professional, friendly and honest. I had purchased the wrong part for my toilet so he went down to the hardware store and got what I needed and installed it easily. He's also going to repair our patio fence and gate later this week and paint it. I thought we would have to replace the whole thing but he said that wasn't necessary, which I very much appreciated! I'll post a picture of the gate when he's finished. He's going to install 3 outside lamps as well. We will definitely be using his handyman services again! read more

Response time is poor. Professionalism is not there. Communication is lacking. Doesn't answer questions. Doesn't provide full quote.

I only have good things to say about my experience with Lamar. He came out, as promised, developed a plan of attack and made it happen! He hung some ceiling tracks for my new curtains. He even hung the curtains and cleaned up after himself. I will definitely reach out to him again for any of my contractor needs. read more

I was so lucky to find Reese on the community's Next door app !! I contacted him and he was able to come out the next day and trim an ugly tree in my front yard and trim some bushes that had been neglected for three years. His prices are very reasonable and honest and he is very very humble man. If you're on a budget this is the man you need !!! He not only works on yards but he is also a handy man. I will be calling him soon to come out for some more work. I do highly recommend him!! read more

Reese The Handy Connection aka Lamar had provided me a quote a year ago, and when I tried to contact him to get the work scheduled, ghosted me. I submitted another work request through Yelp a year later, and he called me right away. Why? Someone else had left him a 1 star review, and he though it was me. Well, it wasn't, and I told him I still needed the work done that I had requested before. He then ghosted me again. I messaged through Yelp, called, and finally texted. He eventually replied that he couldn't do the job because he didn't have the necessary tools. What? The only tools needed except for basic hand tools are a ladder and a drill! I realized that he was only concerned about his 1 star review from someone else, and had no interest in doing the job I requested. So, here is his 1 star review. read more

Loved that he showed up on time, masked up and ready to work! He installed my new door lock and it was clean, straight and sturdy.

Once again Mr. Reese did not disappoint. We had a very tall palm tree that needed serious trimming and he did an amazing job! We look forward to doing with him again very soon! read more

I hired Lamar Reese five times to perform various jobs: 12/17/20, 1/16/21, 2/11/21, 3/21/21, and 3/24/21. In April 2021, I asked him to provide me with an estimate to install a garage door opener on the single door. I have a 3-door garage. While I was in the kitchen checking on the food I was cooking, he installed the door. When I returned to the garage he said, "I installed it." I replied, "you are to give me an estimate. I am not paying more than the estimate received from Mesa Garage Door Company." He became rude and said, "you can go on." I called the sheriff, and an officer took my complaint. I told the office Larmar is running a con-game, and trying to take advantage senior-age people, especially females. The officer said he would inform him he is "technically trespassing" because I asked for an estimate and he remained in my garage installing the opener without my permission. I was not planning on writing this review. However, last December 3rd 2022, I posted a job to hang Christmas tree lights. Lamar sent a message through Yelp saying "Hi i can help you again this year with hanging lights, i live in Hemet now. Thank you. Happy holidays ". Please, be very careful if you hire Lamar Reese. read more
