Jaime is a consummate professional who not only brings his years of experience and does a wonderful job, but has great manners, as well. The reviews below that give him poor ratings complain of cancellations and lack of communication. I take that as part of the nature of the business because Jaime and I were coordinating for a little bit before settling on a time that worked for both of us. He does his best to try and estimate how long a job will take but as everyone knows, it's impossible to know for sure. He was incredibly polite and went above and beyond to ensure that I was happy with the job. I will not hesitate to work with Jaime again. Thank you for your hard work ethic and professionalism! read more

Jaime came and solved a trickly more open ended problem for me of hanging a athletic ring hanger in a ceiling where joists positioning made them impossible to find using a standard stud finder, and thoughtfully moved to a good outcome. I would work with him again read more

POOR COMMUNICATION, OVERPROMISE, AND UNDERDELIVER. I requested service based on a respected review on yelp. He confirmed with me the time to meet at 10am. Because I heard nothing from him, I called him 30min prior and he apologized profusely that there was a miscommunication and he couldn't come at the time. So we rescheduled to 1pm. Curiously, he never asked for my address. So I called again around 12pm to give him the address. The guy that showed up was someone that he works with. Long story short, he spent 3hrs and completely got no where. I asked specifically to fix a shower door that is loose and kitchen drawers that need new slide drawers. For the shower door, he said he just needs to get the part and he could get it. And he asked me where's a hardware store (aren't you the handyman?). I told him I only know Lowe's. He goes there for 2hrs and said he couldn't find it. So I ended up ordering it on Amazon. To his credit, he replaced a missing screw on the shower door handle. For the kitchen drawers, he took my drawer sliders and says "I know a place that sells them". But it was getting late and he says he'll come by another day. The next day I received a text from him saying he couldn't find the part so he's going to mail me back the drawer sliders. He never did. I ended up finding the part myself and doing it myself (and I'm not that handy!) Having not done anything and completely wasting my time and his time, and not returning my kitchen drawer slider, the original owner, who I never met, still wanted $200 for the "job". I voiced my dismay and he got defensive saying "we don't sell parts" and implying that I was suppose to have the parts ready. He may have a point, but why did he offer to get the parts tor me. And I said I would pay for his time getting those parts. To this day, I am still frustrated and appalled by the entire experience. read more

I was looking for quick help with stacking a dryer on top of my new washer and filling a hole in the bathroom. Jaime was quick to respond and came within a few hours. He did a great job with patching up the hole and installing the stacking kit. I would definitely use his service in the future. read more

Jamie is very professional, detailed, knowledgable and responsive. My two frameless shower doors in our San Francisco condo had become misaligned and by looking at the pictures he quoted the cost and came and fixed it. I liked it so much that I told him to come back and assemble all the Ikea furniture for two bedrooms and he was awesome. Will definitely call Jamie anytime I need a Handyman. Thanks Jamie. read more

Unprofessional, poor work ethic. I called him to fix a coupe of windows and take a look at a noisy siding door (leaks some outside noise in). First it was difficult to schedule: super long response time, and he ended up rescheduling at the last minute and being late eventually. He did fix the windows, and we moved to the siding door. He did some work on the sliding door and left. But I later realized, that he actually made things worse (the door started leaking more noise than before). I tried to contact him a coupe times to come over again and finish the work. I even offered him to pay extra for it (which I frankly I didn't have to do), but he never responded. So he broke my sliding door and disappeared. I would not recommend this person to anyone. read more

Is there place to add a sixth star anywhere? We've had a shower leakage problem ever since buying our condo 3 years ago and no one I showed it to or paid to fix it was able to solve the problem. Jaime astutely diagnosed the issue, proposed a viable solution and executed seamlessly. All for a very reasonable price. Don't think twice about calling Jaime the Handyman. If he can't do it, no one can. read more

Please beware that Jamie is not properly bonded at present. Therefore, he shouldn't be completing any handyman work until he is. I will happily update my review once I have received word and confirmation that Jamie is indeed properly bonded once again. To say the least, it is disconcerting that Jamie himself didn't realize that his bond had expired until I ask him to specifically provide evidence of his license and bond prior to having complete complete any work at my condo. Hopefully, this review will compel to take this situation seriously and rectify this unprofessional situation as soon as possible. Thanks. read more

Very detailed in work, Good skills and gives alternative decor and or safety ideas. Completes tasks fast and price is very reasonable. Appointment availability is great! Will hire again read more

Jaime was exceptional. He assessed the job, gathered the hardware/hinge needed to repair the vintage door and in less than twenty four hours he had completed the replacement. He had to search to find a similar part and found even something better. He is kind, enjoyable to be around and considerate. The price was reasonable---his craftmanship stellar! I will call him again...you should too! Andrew SF read more

Quick response to my request for quote. I got lucky and was able to make a same-day appointment to get a curtain track hung on a ceiling without good attachment points. Very happy with my curtains. He was willing to put in the extra effort to get the track gliding smoothly which made all the difference. read more

For workmanship, Jaime is legit and his rates are fair. He repaired a section of drywall at my condo and it looks good. He worked efficiently and I appreciate that he did not use his phone while working. He also cleaned the area well after job finished. Jaime and I got off to a bumpy start. I used the calendar booking option on his website and prepaid. After that I tried calling twice and left voicemails + messaged on Yelp to confirm time. It took a couple days to sort that out and Jaime was not able to make it to the booked slot. He did rearrange his schedule to get the job done on a Saturday. I was going to give him 3 stars and then he was an hour late to our rescheduled time which dropped his rating another star. He didn't tell me he would be an hour late until he was already 15 min late. I shared this feedback in person with him, he was professional and respectful while listening. My suggestions to others: 1) Use Yelp or Wix to message with Jaime and have date + time confirmed up front. This will avoid almost all of the frustration I had. 2) Do not use the calendar booking option on his website. Jaime should remove this from his website or change it so it works correctly. If an appointment is 3 hours, why do I have options to book 30 min increments? 3) Do not prepay up front. Jaime completed the job and his prices are fair, you just protect yourself better by paying after. read more

Messaged this person on yelp and made a schedule to install a storm door on an agreed quote. The day came for the scheduled install and I made sure to be home to meet with this installer. 15 minutes went over the time scheduled, no call. 30 minutes, no call. 45 minutes later, I try giving him a call, no reply. I messaged him on yelp, no reply. He then replies the next day replying that he had phone issues. I wont be recommending this service for anyone. read more

Our shower was leaking and needed a new plastic strip to seal the base, so we called Jaime for help. The shower door is old so the plastic wasn't the right size but the Handyman Can and he devised a plan to fix the problem. It is now sealed and there's no more leaking or floor damage--brilliant! read more

Jaime is great. I have hired him to do a number of jobs both for my business and home. He has lots of experience and has helped with a number of items including installing blinds, installing a new vanity in the bathroom, replacing tiles to creating custom planter boxes. If he's running a bit behind from a job he does his best to communicate. He stands behind his work and does a thorough job. read more

Nice man and works fast Bathtub looks like new again

Jaime did an excellent job of communicating from giving me a virtual quote based off of pictures that I sent to explaining the materials/tools he was using for the repair. He presented himself as knowledgeable, experienced, and professional with capabilities beyond basic handyman skills, including detail-oriented furniture repair. I wish that his time estimate of when he was going to arrive was slightly more accurate, but he completely made up for it with his efficiency and quality of work. The pricing is extremely reasonable and I would recommend him for any services that he offers! read more

I sent out the information on a small fix I needed in the garage and they were the only one to give me back a fair estimate base on what I detailed. Thank you! read more

Update : 12/27 Just to respond to your comments which is totally untrue: I informed you on Tue 7 am ( I have written records in text messages) that we won't be able to do Thurs . How is that last minute? whereas you notified me at 11 am on Sat (1 hour post) that you cannot do 10 am appointment on Sat. Then you said you will come in the eve and then said at 6 pm that you cannot this wasting my entire Sat . Then you said that you can come sharp at 8am in Sun but when I messaged you at 8:30 am you mentioned that you will be here in 40min ( 9:10) when I had mentioned you earlier that I had a hard stop at 10. I believe you need to be more professional if you have to be in this business and commit your your appointment, have better time management and not waste people's time rather than making excuses. In terms of the refund your gave me net of the fee which is a small amount but wrong in principle. Original Review: Totally unprofessional and wasted lot of my time. He agreed to come and install blinds in my apartment on sat at 10am and called at 11am and after multiple reminders and messages and said that he has some other thing or one of his team member quit. He then said that he could come in the evening but then again informed that he cannot. Then he said he will come Sun at 8 am. I cancelled my appointment and explicitly told him that I have a hard stop at 10am so come on time. He promised to come at 8 and when I followed up at 8:30 he sent an eta of 9:15. I would never recommend that you hire him as he would waste lot of your time and is totally unprofessional. He refunded my deposit but that's not the point . He had wasted my time and energy which I could have used to schedule someone else. read more

Thanks again, Yelp saved the day. At 1:30 in the afternoon I was freaking out as one of my big windows was cracked. I was worried as the weather had been very windy and rainy and certainly didn't need that coming in the apartment. I immediately searched on Yelp, and Jaime came to the rescue. Jaime was very helpful and professional. He gave me a quick cost estimate, told me what time he'd arrive, and gave me updates as he was gathering the necessary materials. I live in a building that is over 100 years old, and was worried the repairs would be complicated. He arrived on time started the repairs, was polite and diligent with the work. He cleaned as he worked and left the work area spotless. He also texted the next day to make sure the repairs has held up. If you are in search of a hard working, honest, professional handyman, do yourself a favor and give him a call. read more

Jaime did a wonderful and quick assembly of two large and heavy shelving units for our clinic. Responsive, courteous, and professional. Will definitely use again! read more

Jaime is excellent. He took great care of everything that I asked him to help install, assemble and repair. I highly recommend!

My business ordered a custom table that came with the wrong height. Jaime came to the rescue! He was timely, efficient and took really nice care of the furniture. Highly recommend and will definitely use for future jobs. Thanks Jaime!! read more

The Handyman Can - The perfect height! - Handyman Near Me - San Francisco, California

I hired Jamie for installing a sliding gate for my driveway. He was able to come in and give quote really fast. And installation began soon after. Jamie is trustworthy as when my gate stopped working after a few days, he came in and fixed it. He is really responsive and will give extra mile to ensure his clients are happy! Would highly recommend him. read more

I'm in the middle of selling my house and thought to save money I could do a few things myself. Everything was moving fast and I needed help. Between my wife and I we literally reached out to no less than 10 handyman companies. Some advertised they will respond within 24 hours. Only 2 responded and out of the 2 only 1 followed through. It was the next day when Jaime responded which was fine but he was apologetic it wasn't sooner due to a cell phone issue. We spoke about what we needed and his fee of $200 for three hours. He asked if there was anything else we needed but I honestly was concerned about the three hours and my long list that would keep him here all day. Jaime was down to earth. He understood the timeline and knew what jobs were most important. After verbally agreeing on day and time. Jaime sent an email confirmation. Days before Jaime was supposed to come , my wife got a call from him advising he had an open spot and if we would want to move up our appointment. Heck yes! Moving is stressful so anything helps. Jaime Padilla saved the day, saved our week. We cannot thank him enough for going above and beyond what we asked for. He even got specific about the color of caulk he would use. So beyond professional all the way to telling me his vehicle description so I would know who was pulling up to my house. I was beyond impressed. He worked hard, fast and did an excellent job. Jaime travels all over. He crossed bridge and went through tolls to get to me. It's also convenient that he uses PayPal. If anything comes up before we sell our home I will not hesitate to call Jaime. I've already referred him to a neighbor and family member. The l review but considering we contacted many handyman services and Jaime was the only one who followed through, it is a deserved review. read more

Jaime is awesome! I hired him to do patching on our drywall (thanks to my puppy) and even though he ran a little late arriving to the house, he hustled to get the work done without sacrificing quality. He was literally sweating from working so fast and efficiently! Plus, Jaime is sweet, professional and very communicative throughout the entire time he was working. Every time he's moving onto the next step, he'll let me know, and checked before doing something major. He also tried to leave me his paint so that I can paint some of the patches over once it dries, even though this is material that he needs for his work. I would hire Jaime again for any handyman work, and would recommend him for everyone. read more

Jamie was great! He was very professional, polite and the work quality is excellent! Would recommend him to my friends.

Jaime worked on our window and installed a bifold door to out walk-in closet. He is very professional and cares about his work. We would use his services again. Thanks again, Jaime! read more

I've never worked with anyone as professional and courteous as Jaime. He really knows his craft, and will do everything he can to make things convenient and easy for his customers. He was concerned about making noise around and customers and did everything to insure their comfort as well as those of our staff. He also did something I've never seen any skilled trades-person ever do - he cleaned up after himself! He was concerned about messing up our walls and floors and went beyond to make sure everything was protected. He did a job 15 other guys on Yelp turned down, and did a fantastic job. Our staff was thrilled! I would hire him for any job, because I know he'll get it done right. Thanks, Jaime. read more

Jaime is an excellent, hard working person, great job removing a jacuzzi and plumbing leaving the bathroom clean of debris. Will definitely want him to do the floor and bathroom wall. Will post pictures later. read more

Jaime responded within a day, asked when and what time was best for me, and got the job done efficiently. He arrived on time and was wonderful, he was reasonably priced and even gave me a discount cause the job was easier than anticipated. I would recommend Jaime to anyone needing repairs or work done around the home! read more

I had a job of redoing the caulking in the shower and adjusting the shower door. Jaime did a good job on it other than a spot that he missed, but he did come back and fixed any issues that I had. He was very friendly and explained everything that he was going to do and answered any questions or concerns I had. He was slightly late on arrival times, but that wasn't a problem for my job. read more

Jamy was very professional and he did an awesom job, very affordable too. Needed to fix my kitchen sink food dispenser, he came right on time . I would recommend him to anyone that needs a handyman. read more

Our landlords hired Jaime to fix the broken doorbell and buzzer system for our building. It's a legacy system, leftover from a remodel done by the last landlords ten years ago, and it's been giving trouble for ages. I was pretty certain he wasn't going to be able to fix it, but he did! I mean it gave him a lot of trouble, because after he'd fixed one thing, another thing went wrong, but he stayed at it and didn't throw up his hands and just say "Get a new one" (which a lot of contractors will do). He's also pretty personable and non-sketchy (my wife thought so too), definitely the kind of contractor you feel safe having in and around your home. Would definitely hire him if I ever had any work of my own to do. read more

I had an excellent experience using Jaime for a frame hanging project. He was fast to respond, reasonably priced and took care of the job with ease. I'd highly recommend him and would definitely use his services again if I need help in SF. read more

Jaime is amazing, knowledgeable, a good person. It's hard to find someone that won't rip you off, that's very accommodating and very flexible. He's my go to person from now on. read more

Jaime and his crew are fantastic! If you've ever reached out to contractors and handymen for small (or even midsize) jobs before, then you already know that you'll have to contact 10 people just to get 5 of them to respond and even after they respond, only 2 - 3 of them will ever actually show up at your house. If you're tired of unreliable handymen and no-call/no-shows, then call Jaime. He's responsive and dependable. He shows up when he says he will. He and his crew built a custom fence for us and replaced an old bathroom fan. Jaime even made a second trip out to our house to paint the fence again to make sure it was done right. He made a total of three trips out to our home within a week, did a fantastic job at a very fair price. I'll be calling him again! read more

Jaime helped me with an electrical installation of a Ring Doorbell and a couple Ring Floodlight cameras. We ran into some challenges due to product defects and some old existing wiring, but Jaime was patient, troubleshooted the issues one at a time, and even made a couple trips out without charging me. His price is very reasonable and he's a good guy. Would do business with him again. read more

Recently I needed some household items hauled and a friend of mine recommended Chris. He was prompt in following up on my phone message and friendly. He removed the items in a professional and timely manner and his hourly rate was very reasonable. I would recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for an experienced and reliable handyman who can be trusted to get the job done. read more

I work at a small restaurant in Lower Nob Hill. I found Mr. Padilla through Yelp after a few let downs from other companies. He came through in less than 30 minutes to fix a problem in our bathroom. Jaime is reliable, polite,extremely hardworking, and knows his stuff. If these are the qualities you're looking for in a handyman, you don't need to look any further than Jaime. read more
