    He was the first I reached out to but was the last to respond. Received other responses but my gut feeling wasn't settled, and I trust my gut. "Do it yourself", was what someone told me. Anyway, Ronald saves the day, and plain as day, he tells me what he plans to do with each of the 3 issues, and a higher end ball park figure for a quote. Then, "He cometh and He fixeth" perfectly, and in the manner I had hoped for: new trim, not putty. Best part: paid less than the high tier ball park. He takes zelle so it's contactless (which is unfortunate because he deserved a big kiss). Pros: Speaks English, prompt, pleasant, knowledgeable, no drama like, "wow, this is a bigger job than expected", very obviously skilled. Cons: There's only one Ronald the Handyman. Recommend!

    Finished glass door pane installation and stain.

    We had to have some stained glass panes installed in some doors we had made for our balcony and it was impossible to find someone to do the job. We reached out to Roland and he came by the same day to see what needed to be done, and got our entire project done in a few days! He stained and painted the doors and windows, and did an incredible job. Seriously impressed with the quality, and very pleased with the outcome! Will absolutely use Roland and his skills again! Highly recommend!!

    Finally we have more storage!

I found The Affordable & Licensed Handyman through Yelp because they had great reviews so I was interested to see how much their service fee would be for a simple job when I was looking for a plumber. I needed a license plumber due to home insurance requirement to do this installation or I would've done it myself. They were responsive when I talked to them through Yelp projects. I was shocked with how much I was quoted because it was almost double the price of the automatic shut off valve device I paid for. So I had to confirm that the price that was given to me was just to switch out the bad unit with the new one. They didn't have to do anything else like run new pipes or replace anything else. When I communicated to them that the quote was high, they asked how much did i wanted to pay. I thought they would try to be more reasonable since the name is The Affordable. I give them a range based on the prices from other plumbing company that I reached out to and they couldn't do it which I understand they can set their own prices. Maybe for big projects, they'll give more of a reasonable price which is why they have great reviews on Yelp but just to replace a bad automatic shut off valve with a brand new one, I think it was overprice so I used another plumbing company where they were very reasonable on the price.

I wasn't sure who it was because it was so late and the caller ID said "Pro TV Mounting Same Day..." I figured it was him because then he sent me a message on Yelp that night saying "I tried calling and no one answered". I messaged him to schedule a call at a time that was more reasonable. No answer. Then the same number called during a Sunday afternoon. I asked again to please just schedule the call. When I called at the scheduled time, he sounded almost half asleep on the phone (sorry I woke you up!) and I tried explaining clearly what was wrong with the issue and he said repeatedly, "why don't you just call the people who originally installed it". I mentioned I was unhappy with their work and wanted someone else. He clearly was unfamiliar with what was going on and didn't know basic terminology for installation of doors. Never asked for a guarantee, but I just wanted someone who had a more experienced and expert installation history. He then got upset when I indicated I wouldn't be using his services because he sounded like he didn't know what was going on for the project and I preferred not to pay $80 since all other handymen come to do an assessment for free so they can accurately set expectations for themselves and the customer and there isn't disappointment on either side. He literally started raising his voice on the phone because I was trying to ask his professional opinion and gather more info on what he thought was going on. Maybe he was having an off day because he seemed to get frustrated with what I thought were common questions. It seemed like he just wanted to get me off the phone and do the $80 in-person assessment. So the "phone consultation" part doesn't seem like a real thing. Again, I told him "no problem that's your policy and I appreciate your time" but I will go in a different direction Unprofessional and also seemed to have limited skills for certain simple jobs and really is focused on TV mounting or other things (I mean the phone number ID says Pro TV install"). Again, that's totally ok, but don't get upset when a customer would prefer a different option. And be careful! He then tried repeatedly harass and called me several times after now from a hidden number! He had to be reported to Yelp! It seems like this guy generally has good reviews, but this seemed very unusual and concerning. Just take a look at all the other 1-star reviews. They all talk about the SAME exact issues: calling at inappropriate times, rude/unprofessional, harassing calls, incorrect skills listed, (even being asleep, ha!), etc. There is a clear negative pattern here, but other people seemed to find benefit so up to you based your exact situation.

    5 stars without hesitation. Pacific Gates and Drew did an incredible job from beginning to end…read more This was a very custom project, and I came into it with a specific vision of what I wanted the front of my house to look like. I actually created a rendering of the gate and entrance I had in mind and gave it to Drew. He worked with me through the design process, turned that concept into actual plans and dimensions, and Pacific Gates ultimately built what I had envisioned remarkably closely. Seeing the original design compared with the finished product is pretty incredible. The quality of both the materials and workmanship is excellent. The gate is substantial, beautifully fabricated, and the finished installation completely transformed the front of the house. The proportions, vertical steel design, solid center panel, pedestrian entrance, sliding driveway gate, and overall finish came together exactly the way I hoped they would. The price was also extremely fair, especially considering the amount of custom fabrication, materials, labor, and integration that went into the project. What impressed me just as much as the finished gate was Drew's patience throughout the project. I am very detail-oriented and had a lot of specific ideas about how everything needed to function together. Drew never made me feel like I was asking too much. Any concern I raised, he addressed, and he stayed involved in getting the details right. This also went far beyond simply installing a gate. We created a fully integrated access system where my Ring home controls can operate both the pedestrian gate and the sliding driveway gate, along with a Ring Intercom installation. The pedestrian gate also has a keypad controlling an electric strike, so it can be released either through the keypad or directly through the Ring Home app. The Ring Home app separately controls the rolling driveway gate as well, giving me the elaborate but simple-to-use intercom and access system I wanted, with everything fully integrated in one setup. I separately had a custom address sign and mailbox made specifically for this entrance, and Drew worked with me before I ordered them to make sure the dimensions and placement would integrate properly into the gate they were fabricating. There were a lot of moving pieces between the fabrication, operator, access controls, electrical coordination, pedestrian entrance, intercom, keypad, mailbox, address panel, and the overall architectural design. Drew was willing to work through all of it with me rather than trying to push me toward an easier or more generic solution. That is probably what I appreciate most. Pacific Gates didn't just sell me a gate. They helped me build the entire entrance I had pictured for my home. The finished product looks fantastic, functions exactly the way I wanted it to, and feels like it was designed as part of the house rather than added afterward. I could not be happier with the result. Huge thank you to Drew and the entire Pacific Gates team for the craftsmanship, patience, and effort they put into this project. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a genuinely custom gate and access-control installation.

    Great service, most cost effective . Highly recommended! Thank you for the wonderful repair!read more
