What I appreiate the most about Scott is his non-nonsense, ethical and genuine wish to provide high-quality service. His rates are very reasonable, and understanding that I would not know what supplies to buy, he ran out and got everything he needed to paint the doors, re-caulk my closet and spontaneously also fixed a sticky door and a faucet in another bathroom. He is super nice and very professional. He is the best. read more

Scott was easy to communicate and schedule with, came on time, and delivered results, coming up with a creative and cost effective solution for our garage door. Highly recommend. read more

VERY professional and impressive repair/maintenance work ... Robinson Maintenance work with Scott is great. I love working with him - I've never posted a review but after he left today, I was searching online for his info because I wanted to send it to a friend and I saw YELP and decided to post here (which I hardly ever do but had to today as I was so relieved and moved and happy and would love you to feel this way too). Call Scott if you have ANY need for an expert who knows his way around virtually any project or repair. Our experience today was that I bought a used loft bed very impulsively several days ago for one of our kids and I was looking to set it up ASAP! Scott (who we call for only epic-ly big or complicated projects) came over today, on a holiday weekend, at the time he said he would to the moment. It was a complicated bed/loft to put together, particularly as not quite all the pieces (washers, screws, etc) were still included (which we had not anticipated). He took a look, sized up the project, and got it done expertly, efficiently, and quickly, particularly given we didn't have all the right parts. I love working with Robinson Maintenance for a bunch of reasons but one big one is just that he exudes calm. He also really understands value and getting stuff done fast and without complexities. Scott has also helped us before with other projects - the last one was a really complicated problem with our dishwasher where I thought we'd have to get a new one but Scott figured out what was wrong and got the part that was needed, etc. This was impressive since it was very old - other stuff he did (I'm not sure what) made it work better than before. What I appreciate is that when Scott sees the issue, he asks questions, figures out the answers (that I never know nor would I know the questions) and then he just solves the issue. Like today, he just sized up the parts to the new furniture and told us the complexities (like some of the smaller parts were missing, in addition to two of the "feet" to the bed). He's an expert problem solver and also a problem finder - always knowing how to do stuff and to reduce stress and uncertainty. This made a huge difference to my day at a very stressful time - I could have envisioned this taken-apart bed NEVER being put together and I'm so glad we got to connect with RM again today. read more

Robinson Maintenance - the loft-bed set-up! - Handyman Near Me

We had a minor deck repair and were worried no one would accept such a small job. Scott made time at the end of his day, came by to confirm measurements and materials and completed the work within two hours! Will be sure to use his services in the future. read more

I wish I could give more stars! I've used Scott before, and he always does good work. But today he worked a miracle. The door to the backyard of the apartment building finally died. It had been difficult for years, needing to be slammed shut. Then it wouldn't shut at all. It was a mess. Old swollen wood. Rusty hinges. Scott came over--early!--and fixed it in an hour. It closes smoothly, and is like new. Well, not sparkling pretty like new, because it is an old door. But it works like new. I also imagine if I asked Scott to make it pretty he would have been able to do that too. Such great service is rare. Thanks, Scott. read more

Plumbers left a huge hole in my ceiling without disclosing that they don't fix messes they make...Scott to the rescue! Called a few others before him who said they'd need 3-5 days at prices ranging from 500-1200. He did a great job in one day, just a few hours, kind, professional, and at a great price. Also fixed a leaky under-sink pipe while I was in another room free of charge !! Awesome guy read more

Reliable, punctual, knowledgeable, efficient. Small job, had it done in minutes. Definitely recommend!

I highly recommend this service! Our door was broken into and I called Scott in the morning and by 1pm the door was fixed. He provided great insight into what needed to be done and he was friendly, professional, and had a positive attitude. Scott was able to fix the door and I am very happy with the results. Will definitely be calling Scott back for other maintenance issues in the future. Also the price is very reasonable and fair. Thanks so much Scott! read more

The absolute man. I had a super old wooden porch door nearly snapped off the hinges and hanging from the wrong side of the door frame. Couldn't find a single person willing or able to take care of it. Scott offered to take a look during the week, and was totally flexible/patient about timing. Within 30 minutes, Scott had the door repaired and working good as new. Approaching the fix he was positive, creative and persistent, working through some serious challenges along the way. Couldn't be more appreciative of his help, and will definitely be going back to him next time I need a hand. Give Scott a call- the best! read more

Scott squeezed us in the day we called and came by when he said. Fixed our crappy old door right away which wasn't closing or latching for some odd reason. Now our door works much smoother than it was when I thought it was "working". Now I am making a list of other things around our home bec now I know who to go to. read more

Scott is the best! He's always on time, responsive, and is a delight. Such a great handyman.

NOTE: I contacted Him after the job failed, but he never responded. He's not being honest in his comment. It's full of lies. He never came back and I emailed him immediately. Of course I did, who wouldn't? Mr. Robinson is a liar. Just look at how rude his remarks are below. You see his true character in his response to me. He put the caulk on to dirty painted siding and painted over dirt and leaves. Ugh..... Excuse me, I said, everyone knows you need the surface to be clean and dry if you want the caulk to stick. BUT NOOOOOOOOO Mister R. said it was ok. Surfaces did not have to be clean and dry as i was told they needed to be. So within weeks it peeled off and I had to pay someone else to redo his failed job. WTH Mr. Robinson, you got paid by the hour, why not do it right. You need to refund my money I paid you for your failed job and retract your lies below. read more

Scott Robinson, owner of Robinson's Maintenance, is a knowledgeable and responsive handyman. I utilized his service for various repairs at my condo, which I rent to a tenant, and he successfully repaired ALL of my requests. He installed a lighting fixture (electrical), installed a garbage disposal (plumbing), tightened the door handle and deadbolt on the front door (locksmith), dealt with cleaning the exhaust fans in our bathrooms (mechanics), handled the smoke alarms, and installed shower doors on the tub in the master bath.. and on it goes. He accomplished all of these requests in a timely manner, at an extremely reasonable price! As a woman, I am able to rely on his work ethic and honesty. I most highly recommend his service. read more

We've had two great experiences with Scott & will definitely continue to use him for future work. Let me first note -- he is a ONE man operation. We live fairly close to Scott so we've been lucky to have him show up same day as our calls. That said, future customers should remember that since there's only one of him, it could take a few days for him to respond -- but he's worth it! We used Scott to mount two flat screens & install a garbage disposal. He also ran out to get parts from the hardware store that we didn't have to ensure he did the job right. He was careful, meticulous, fast & very funny. He is also very good with dogs (even if one of your dogs can kinda be a jerk) & is someone you feel safe having in your home. He's a jack of all trades so we look forward to working with him on other projects around the house! Also love that he communicates via text -- makes it easy to check-in with him & vice versa. read more

I hate writing bad reviews but here goes nothing. Initial experience was smooth. I called him and he was driving so he asked me to call him again. Fair enough as that is the safest thing to do. I called him again and he scheduled to come review the job at my place. He was little late but he kept me informed which I liked. He had a lively personality and very easy to speak to. He explained all possibilities and I was like yeyeyeye I finally found a contractor who can explain things right and have good energy. He left and said he'll send me estimate in few days. From here it goes south. Didn't hear from him for few days so I emailed him.. No reply, I emailed him again and then after a week he replied back saying he is currently busy so he'll get back to me in few days with quote. I waited again for 2 weeks and no reply. At this point I gave up and found another contractor. I saw him yelling back at negative reviews and my initial thought was do I want to go through that but decided to write it as I would hate someone else go through same experience. read more

Agree with previous negative comments. I should have read all the negative reviews before trusting him based on his overall review. I needed bathtub to be recaulked. I kindly asked him to remove old caulk but he gave me excuses that it is not needed, even when I asked him nicely and repeatedly, he continued to ignore me. When I went to my local hardware store, the staffs said: "nooooo... he should have removed the old caulk!" I'm very disappointed that whilst he could have spent a little more time to give a full service. He chose to cut corners and only spent 6 minutes on my 1 hour service. read more

Scott has proven himself to be hella reliable time and time again. When our washer broke, he came by to figure out the problem. (Get a new one.) When our dryer broke, he easily saw the belt had broken, and a few hours later he was installing a new one. The same day he also replaced our thermostat. Scott arrives on time, is super friendly and gets shit done! He is the bomb diggity. Highly recommend for anything. read more

Mr. Robinson (Scott) was reliable, prompt, honest, reasonable rates, thorough/detailed, friendly and did more than I asked. When I called him passed business hours (7pm) on a weeknight (Friday), he took my call right away. The problem I had which I attempted to fix myself, via Internet repair search, was minor but I still couldn't do it (replacing the shower door rollers). I called him on a Friday night, explained the problem, he went over the extent of the repair, quoted very reasonable rates, and scheduled a convenient day and time based on my schedule (that following Tuesday). He even called me the Monday night before as a follow up to confirm my appointment. Scott normally charges per hour, unlike other companies that charge minimum 2-4 hours or a high first hour. Although already reasonable, Scott charged me for only half an hour. This included replacing the rollers on one of the shower doors, repairing and adjusting the other door's rollers and WD-40'd them, without me even asking. He also noticed the corner tiles had a gap. So he re-grouted them to prevent future damage to the tiles and wall behind. Something I didn't realize. I highly recommend Robinson's Maintenance (Scott Robinson) for home repairs and maintenance. He does commercial, as well as, residential repairs. Someone to definitely keep in mind for your repairs, no matter how small a job, and even bigger jobs. Scott is a professional and a really nice guy. read more

The company I work for uses Scott for most maintenance issues. Like others say, he is very honest. His reliability is the 2nd most important aspect. He is ALWAYS on time. Friendly, trustworthy and pricing is excellent. We have a 50,000 sq. ft building and Scott can perform 90% of what we need done. He is a great guy overall. I would give 5 stars but he is so busy, it is hard to get him here sometimes ! HE NEEDS TO BE CLONED - ! read more

We moved into our condo this summer and had a contractor take care of a few big ticket items (replace flooring, painting, electrical, etc). As it seems to be the case with most contractor work, there were a few muck ups that I didn't feel like pestering our contractor about. So I went to Yelp and found Scott. And I'm so freakin glad I did. I called Scott and left him a message. He called me right back. Love it when that happens. He came over the next day. Also love it when that happens. He reviewed the jobs, gave a very reasonable quote, and proceeded to complete all the work same day. Wait...same day work at a reasonable price? Who does this guy think he is? Not only was the quality of the work excellent and quick, he was also hilarious and very friendly. He even did baby talk to our puppy, which got him bonus points with the wife. I was tempted to hug him rather than shake hands at the end of it. True story. In sum, I highly recommend Scott for pretty much any "house-work-that-I-don't-feel-like-doing-or-am-scared-to-try". I may even put him in my iPhone favorites. Whoa. read more

This review is definitely overdue. I had Scott come by because of a screw up by a previous contractor. He listen intensely and had great ideas for everything - the walls that needed to be remounted, the oven that needed to be screwed down to be earthquake proof, and the bathroom and closet that needed the walls replaced. I asked for a quote and he provided one that day in detail. So after I had my electrician and plumber complete their permit inspection, turns out the walls did not need to be pulled out. I was lucky. So I didn't need Scott to come by after all. But I did appreciate Scott's attentiveness, detail-oriented nature, and his professionalism. If the walls were pulled out, he would have hired him on the spot to fix it. If I ever need a handyman in the future, this is the guy I will call. read more

scott is the pinnacle of professionalism. he's skilled, efficient and has a jovial personality. scott hung our flat-screen tv on the wall for us in record time. my partner and i couldn't even find the studs in these old walls. scott is the best handyman i've ever worked with. we will be calling him again and again. read more

Scott is fantastic! We had a 20+ year old pocket door with missing hardware. I was starting to believe that the only fix was to open up the wall and replace the whole track. Scott evaluated the situation and was able to do some magic and fabricate a new bracket for us. Thanks to Scott for thinking outside the box and helping us out of a tough spot. I will recommend him to anyone and put him on speed dial for myself. read more

Hired Scott to fix a leaky faucet for my tenant. It took several attempts to synch up with him. He sent me an invoice for half an hour's work, without informing me prior the job had been done. The tenant said the faucet still drips. I emailed him for a fix, and this is his response: Me: I spoke with my tenant last night, and he said that the faucet is still dripping (unless it's perfectly in place). He said you were there about half an hour, and left quickly. What can you do to remedy the situation?? Scott: I have a one hour minimun that is $120.00 and i didnt charge for the washers and springs also note i said the faucet internals were warn and might need to replace the faucet Me: If the faucet needed to be replaced, why wasn't that done?? Scott: I replaced the washer and springs which is usually what stops the drip when doing that some of the internal parts looked slightly worn but if it leaks after the new washers and springs are installed. The faucet is bad, as I stated possibly might have to replace faucet I do not have X-ray vision or can tell without changing the washer and springs first Hence, the one star review. read more

We've had a problem with our glass doorknob being loose and even falling off for some time. We read reviews for Scott Robinson and were impressed. We contacted Scott and he came right over, and had the problem fixed in less than 30 min. He's very friendly and professional. Also reasonably priced. We will give him repeat business. read more

I have had a number of handymen since I bought my condo and I've been dissatisfied with pretty much all of them . . . Scott was fabulous! He quickly replaced awkward lightbulbs and smoke detectors, hung pictures (and dealt with my oh so picky placement of them, and fixed a shelf that has been sagging for years. I would recommend him to anyone who asked and will be calling him in the future for both my home and office. Thank you Scott for your speedy work and doing such a great job! read more

My mother's house was burglarized yesterday and we called Scott today to have him work on her door that was crowbar opened. Scott is professional and honest. He gave his professional opinion on what needed to be done and his main concern was ensuring that her door closed securely until we were able to purchase a new door and framework. He worked expeditiously and was in and out in about an hour and a half. He secures the door frame and made sure the door closed securely which was the main reason we called him. We are happy with his work, his professionalism and skill set. We will definitely be using him for other work when needed. I highly recommend Robinson Maintenance for any of your house maintenance needs. read more

One job so far, which was well done and met our expectations. We had a sticking door, and the need for a proximity light that turns off auto magically after entry. We will be calling on Robinson Maintenance again soon. read more

Scott was great! The door to my room was extremely damaged including the frame so I gave Scott a call to inquire about pricing and his availability. We scheduled a time for him to come by the next day to take assess the damage. He was actually able to fix it that same day which was great news to me. He went to pick up some extra supplies which was a quick trip. He came back, fixed my door frame and door knob, and was finished within an hour. He was very professional and accommodating. I'd recommend him to anyone needing a repair. read more

Scott Robinson was the perfect fit for the job. He was reliable, transparent, and friendly. I had a busted door frame/trim, which he was able to repair quickly to make it as good as new. He responded to my email request almost immediately and was at my house doing the work the following day. I will definitely be calling Scott again if I need any repairs done. Thank you! Alex read more

What a great handyman! I needed a drain pipe repaired and fixed to the outside wall. He came by, gave an estimate quickly and then went and got the material and did the job the next day. He even removed his boots at our request. Much appreciated his speed and reliability. read more

Highly recommend Scott from Robinson maintenance. Scott is friendly, gets the job done, and charges reasonably. I called Scott and within a day, we had a schedule set-up. Scott showed up on time and had a friendly personality. Scott repaired my shower door, caulked the bathroom tub, patched picture holes on the wall, and replaced light bulbs hanging from very high ceilings (couldn't reach them). Let there be light!!! I'm so happy my loft is well lit again! read more

Scott was fast, thorough and great to work with. He fixed the copper weather stripping on our very old front door, re-wired a very old chandelier, and fixed our garage door, all in less than an hour. I'll definitely be calling him again when the need arises. read more

Sadly, I have stopped using Mr. Robinson, despite the fact that pretty much all the positive things I said before still apply. Unfortunately, I've also discovered in several more encounters that he can be hard to reach, slow to respond, and unpredictable about keeping appointments. Finally, I just threw my hands in the air and gave up. Too bad, as he's a nice guy and does good work when he finally does come, but I just couldn't deal with the inconsistency and slow responses. read more

For a guy who has 60 reviews and have no bad comments i thought maybe i should give him a call and hire him. He answered the phone and told me to send him an email what the things needed to be fix. So i did. He never reply back. Then i called him again he answered the phone and he said i will call you back in 1hr. He never called back. I was like wtf maybe yelp is either not letting people post bad comments or people with bad experience aren't writing reviews. So people do let yelp fool you cause i would not hire this guy. If he can't return your call , how is he gonna fix your clog sink and other issues . read more

Recently we needed a door put in and some work on our bathroom. I have to say it was a job well done. He had some obstacles to overcome with the door, but handled them with ease. He is very thorough and we very much appreciated him keeping us updated on the process of the jobs... in the end we were very happy with the work. I would definitely hire him again. read more

I highly recommend Scott Robinson as a very reliable, upfront, personable professional for house repairs. Our landlord found him on yelp and he was great. He even showed up early! Scott was also very accessible and responsive by phone. He came to fix our toilet, spackle holes in the wall and fix the laundry dryer machine and did a great job. read more

This is the first Yelp review I have ever written. I often use Yelp for food recommendations, but the first for a repair. The reviews were great, and now I understand why Scott has a 4.5 rating on Yelp. He is fantastic! Same day service, flexible with schedule, very responsive, honest and at a great rate. I am extremely satisfied with the door frame repair and paint job that Scott provided. I would HIGHLY recommend Scott to other SF locals and use him again in the future. Also, he has the best personality and made me laugh a lot! read more

We had Scott repair a leaky toilet. He was on time, very efficient and even made a trip to the hardware store to get the necessary parts. It wasn't a big job, but one I didn't want to tackle myself. Glad to have someone so reliable to do the repair. Will definitely call him again! read more

I have to say, I really respect a business owner when they can own up to their mistakes. Scott not only wrote an apology on Yelp, he went out of his way to contact me personally and apologize. It is hard to swallow your pride and admit when you are wrong...esp. publicly! To make it right, he is giving me an hour of free work, which is really nice. I really respect and think highly of him. So, I am going to schedule the work with him and I will update my review further once Scott does the work! In the mean time, give him a call and use his services!! He is a rare one!! read more
