First and foremost, thank you Rick for helping out my family and doing such a great job. My father recently had a stroke and the cops had to break down the doors in order to get to him. We called Rick on a Saturday night and asked if he can come take a look to secure the house. He was about to eat dinner but he decided to drop everything and help us out given our situation. He called back and explained what needed to be replaced and what could be repaired. He explained what was damaged, what parts he needed, and assisted in securing the place and coming back Sunday to help us with the damages to the doors. He also sent us pictures to help us understand what needed to be done. Please keep in mind, no one was home when he secured the place and when he replaced/repaired our doors the following day. Rick was honest and kept us informed at all times. I would recommend Rick to anyone who needs a handy man as he completed the job in the time he communicated and can be trusted. Thank you again Rick for helping our family during a medical emergency. Enjoy. read more

See all

I just got a hold of Rick right at the end of the work day on a Friday right when everyone is starting to go on Christmas vacations (at my job at least). I got the recommendation through Nextdoor in my neighborhood as I had an emergency plumbing issue, called him up to hopefully get him to come out on short notice. We talked about our issue and then realized that he actually had moved 2 hours away from my location a while ago, but instead walked me through my problem from a plumbers' perspective and told me exactly what to ask about in terms of quotes when speaking to other plumbers (in my area) and what to do afterward to make sure I was taken care of. He was patient with me and gave a whole primer on plumbing - everything from what my issue probably was, and how to even properly replace my toilet gaskets after I get this issue resolved. Right after my call I got a hold of a plumber in the area and within a couple seconds - based exactly on what Rick had explained to me on the phone - got a plumber to give me a quote for exactly what they were gonna do, and come out within the hour. I sincerely appreciate the time Rick spent on the phone on a Friday @5pm with a customer who he knew he wouldn't ever do business with. I wish he still lived in Sunnyvale so I could work with him on any plumbing issues I have in the future as my short interaction with him shows me that he is an awesome person and great to work with. UPDATE: Plumber came out, everything played out exactly as Rick said - even including the price quote I should expect from a plumber and the fix. read more

Risk has done many projects in our home. Very reasonable, friendly, and knowledgeable. When you call him he gets right back to you. Thanks Rick read more

Rick’s Property Maintenance - Handyman Near Me

I called Rick's because of a heating problem I was having during this cold winter and before I knew it he was here checking it out. He diagnosed our problem right away and advised us as to what we needed to do. Every other place we called was an answering machine, it was nice to hear a REAL person answer the phone. Thank you, from all of us at Active Auto Body =] read more

Rick is a stand up guy who is true to his word! I called him on a Monday as we needed a stair railing put in asap for my elderly father who is terminally ill and had suffered a bad fall. I sent Rick some pictures of the front door steps and he drove by my parents home to get an idea of how to go about the job. He then sent me back photos of different options and prices which we agreed upon by phone as I don't live nearby. He had a very sturdy and aesthetically pleasing railing installed by Wednesday afternoon for a very fair price. My mother was so relieved and was so happy with Rick that she hired him to come back and do more work for her. Definitely call Rick if you need someone who is honest, reliable and does quality work for a fair price! read more

Rick’s Property Maintenance - Stair Rail - Handyman Near Me

I have not lived in the area for too long, so was not sure who to call to install a glass shower door. I had left messages for a few handymen, but nobody called me back. Based on Rick's positive reviews, I decided to call him and see if he would return my call! He returned my call right away and said he could come out that same day between 1-3! Then about 1:00, he called to say he was on his way and would be there in about 15 minutes if that still worked for me. I was impressed with his respect for my schedule, because we are all busy, right? When he arrived, he carefully took the new door out of the packaging, looked at our shower, and said he could install it now and told me the cost. He got busy and completed the project and it cost exactly what he quoted me. He was very quiet, and clean and careful in our house. He even offered to dispose of the shower door packaging materials. Afterwards, I showed him some other projects around the house we wanted to have done. He advised me that it may not be worth doing some of the projects, since we are likely to sell in a few years. I really appreciate his honesty and will definitely be calling him when we are ready to do the other projects. 5 stars for this guy! read more

Rick came today and installed the kitchen faucet for us. He answered the phone right away, and scheduled the installation in 30 min. During the installation he found there are missing parts. He called the hardware store, figured out what's missing and I went to get it while he is working on the rest. When I came back with the parts, he finished all the rest and 5 min later job is done. This is a little more than 1 hour since I called him in the very first beginning. I am an engineer and I like efficiency. If Rick was doing what I do, he would be the perfect colleague I would like to work with. Definite recommendation to my friends. read more

I was looking for a handyman to replace my kitchen faucet. I checked Yelp and found Rick. I read the great reviews and decided to call Rick. He was very professional and easy to talk with. Rick was available and was able to come by. He checked my faucet and due to the awkward position of my kitchen sink, Rick told me he was unable to install my kitchen faucet. I truly appreciated his honesty and integrity. Rick refused to take any payment from me, so I offered to buy him lunch. I would give Rick 10 stars if possible. I will definitely call Rick again! read more

Rick does awesome work! I highly recommend him for home repairs! He repaired my dishwasher and helped me with my sprinkler system.

This is a long overdue review I have been meaning to write- We have been using Rick and his handyman services for years, from hanging cabinets in the garage, repairing dry rot around the house, fixing a fence, planting a tree, replacing our garbage disposal, moving furniture, replacing our hot water heater, etc... Rick seems like he can do it all and do it well, I am picky when it comes to service, they better be on time, have a competitive bid and do the job right with a good attitude. He cleans up after the job and is always thoughtful and honest. If you are tired of calling and waiting around for your handyman to show up, give a Rick a call, I am confident you will be just as satisfied as we are. read more

Based on the rave reviews, we called Rick to install some overhead racks in the garage. He showed up on time and immediately set to work. A few hours later, he was done. He was professional throughout the job and looked very experienced, even showing me how he found the trusses in my finished garage (hint: magnet!). Rick says some of his specialties are plumbing, door locks, water heaters, blinds, and windows. He can put up drywall but is not an expert at texturing. He can probably do other jobs, so call and ask him. read more

Rick was fantastic! First, he picked up the phone when I called, which is truly unusual these days. He followed up with a text to me about the details of the projects. Today, he arrived on time, and I mean ON TIME and was so nice, friendly, thorough and professional!!! I am thrilled to finally have someone I can count on! Catherine M. read more

I found Rick from the excellent reviews on Yelp. Everything I read in the reviews is true: very responsive, prompt, good value, easy to deal with and true to his word. We had 3 gates that needed repair. One could barely be budged open, and another was difficult to close. For the one that was falling apart, Rick took measurements earlier and built a new gate before coming to install it, saving time onsite. His time estimate was right on, and he was done within a few hours. All three gates are now in perfect working condition. We're very happy with the work and will definitely call the next time we need a handyman. read more

Honestly cannot recommend Rick enough! When my fiance and I decided to sell his house, we had a pretty long to do list to complete in 3 weeks. After calling around a few places and getting told they could come by in a couple weeks or longer, that it was too small of a job or even worse, no call back at all, we were worried. But then I found Rick and he returned my call immediately and came out that afternoon to give us a quote. Rick was very honest about what he could and couldn't do, suggestions on what to fix and gave a very reasonable estimate. When he came back and installed the shelves, range hood and threshold - he did some very quality work and made us wonder why we didn't do it sooner. Rick is awesome... Hope we can use his services again!!! read more

Rick is great guy. He did some light maintenance work on my Air Conditioner unit. I thought my AC was in a lot worse condition than it turned out to be. Rick is honest, competent and friendly and he did the work at a very reasonable price. I would definitely recommend. read more

Rick has just left our home after two days work and it was a complete joy to have him work on our home. He is the consummate gentleman and craftsman - and we will use him in the future and recommend him to our friends. His fees while not cheap were reasonable for the work done. Recommend A+++++ read more

Rick came by for a consultation within an hour of my first contact with him. Even though he wasn't able to help me with my projects (through no fault of his own), he was polite and knowledgeable. I won't hesitate to consult with him again. read more

Rick has done a lot of jobs for us in our home. He is a consummate professional in every way. Excellent workmanship at Very fair prices. He's also a wealth of information about who to see for many other services. He's become our go to guy for all the things we don't have the knowledge, talent or energy to do ourselves. read more

Rick is awesome response on time super knowledgable Came here on a Sunday to help us with plumbing issue Speedy response :) read more

Rick is an outstanding handyman. He's clean, cost-effective, and professional. He shows up on time every day and works hard. He thinks creatively when unforeseen issues arise as they often do during home repair. He is respectful of your home and removes his shoes before entering and cleans up well after his work is completed. I would recommend Rick to any property owner who is in need of handyman work/repair. He has repaired our fence and remodeled our bathrooms, so he is capable of doing much more than simple repairs. read more

Rick was great. I called him in the morning and he was able to make it in the same day. Super happy with the curtains he put up.

I left a message w/ Rick's answering service and received a quick call-back. I mean, quick! Unfortunately, Rick does not service my residential area (Palo Alto). But anyone who does not waste my time warrants an honorable mention. Apparently, Rick is responsive and it's nice that he appreciates the call. If only more contractors could extend this basic professionalism/courtesy to their clients and potential clients. read more

Rick replaced our garbage disposal, and did an excellent job. He was very professional and friendly (gave me lots of useful tips!), and was very thorough. He arrived exactly on time and was done quickly. Great job! read more

Based on Yelp reviews I asked Rick to repair a gate and a couple of posts. He answered the phone personally each time, responded promptly and knowledgeably to every question, showed up when he said he would and got the job done quickly and professionally. Thank you very much for a job well done. read more

Rick contacted us promptly and came to do the repairs the next day . He called ahead, was right on time and did a nice, neat, efficient job of repairing some water damage in the cabinets under our bathroom sink. He left the area clean and charged a reasonable rate. He was a pleasure to do business with and I would certainly call him again if needed. read more

Quick. Efficient. Reasonable. Yea! Our garbage disposal died, and he took care of us.

I was calling around for quotes on fixing a mounting issue and I needed to get the work fairly soon. Rick was the first one to actually answer his phone. He just happened to be finishing up a job down the street from my place and said he could meet me there in 15 minutes if I was available, which I was. He arrived on time, gave me his quote which I agreed to, and completed the job in less than hour. Not only did he explain to me how he was fixing the issue so I could do so in the future, he took the time to make sure the mount was secure and flush. Also, he is very neat and respectful when performing the work in your home. I would recommend Rick for answering the phone (as insignificant that may seem, when you are just trying to gather quotes to see what type of work MAY need to be done, its actually very refreshing to get to speak with someone), arriving on time, giving a fair quote for short notice work, and attention to detail when fixing the issue. read more
