Good communication, fair price, professional work. Michael installed fire retardant screen over the vents in our attic. He did this for several of our neighbors as well. We all appreciated his great service. read more

Very knowledgeable and friendly with tools galore on his truck to handle any needs for various repairs.

This is the 3rd time we've used Michael; first time was when wife and I moved into our "new" home here in Pismo. I can guarantee we will ALWAYS call This n That to handle our home repair needs. This time it was to repair/rescreen some ancient sliding door screens and a few window screens. That worked wonderfully; we really can't see the screens...we thought for a moment he forgot to reinstall them! HA-HA! Seriously! And, the sliding door screens actually ROLL along now. Michael also re-caulked our two kitchen sinks - beautiful work! And, he fixed a long bathroom lighting fixture that has six big round balls of light. All done at a reasonable price for all the work accomplished. We wouldn't call ANYONE ELSE! read more

Michael Payne did a great update for us! He has a lot of knowledge, good work ethic, and a great talent for putting the pieces together. Michael is very pleasant to work with. Even though he is a very busy guy, he was able to fit us us in to his schedule. We will definitely use him again. read more

Holy wow! I don't write very many Yelp reviews but I had to come on here and let you know that Michael Payne is absolutely incredible at what he does. Such great quality work! He will be the only one we hire from now on. On time, courteous, just an all around super nice person wanting to help so many. Just FanTastic! read more

I hired him, we agreed on a price and the job took longer than expected. He wanted me to pay for 2 more hours. Told him I couldn't go anymore than the price agreed on..he did not complete all he was suppose to do. My advice to anyone else that hires Michael to be sure and get everything in writing before job is started. I consequently found a very good and fair handyman later who completed the work that was left unfinished by Michael. read more

Michael Payne really knows his stuff. I called him my hero when he was able to work me in and fix the sliding glass door in my bedroom that I was suddenly unable to open. It was quite a job and bigger than we both thought and he just kept at it until it works better than it has in years. He's extremely busy and I was fortunate enough to have him come back several weeks later. This week he did a lot of This and that. He has a wide range of knowledge and a great spirit. You can tell he enjoys helping people. He put a dog door in the wall. When he took the old dog door out of sliding door in living room the glass door wouldn't close, so even though near quitting time he took that door off and fixed it too. Fixed my front door that was blowing open with the wind. Built a new closet shelf, taking out the old rod and turning one shelf into two. Put a new sliding screen door in my bedroom. And sealed some leaks in my rain gutters. All in one day! I'm thrilled with all the work he accomplished and feel Blessed to have him to call when I need work done. read more

We had Michael come out recently and do more miscellaneous work on our home. I had given This n That a five star review previously and this time I would give Michael 5+ stars. He is a very busy guy and only able to assist previous clients at this time. We feel very lucky to have him on our team of service personnel. We also found that he has his contractor license and is able to complete another project that we were getting ready to research. This guy is a jack of all trades, a top quality professional and a great guy to boot. read more

You'll not be disappointed should you hire "This N' That"! Honest prices with quality work, what more could you ask for?

Michael was in high demand but put me on his schedule, was here when he said he would be, and placed 3 electrical outlets for me, which work great! Very pleased and would hire him again. read more

I've worked with a couple of handyman in the past, but they were too busy to take on my new project. I hired This N That Handyman Service to power wash my house, and install an electrical outlet. Micheal Payne (owner), came out to provide a quote and immediately struck me as someone reliable and trustworthy. I agreed to the quote, and he was able to start and complete the work the next day! Very exciting, since I had been waiting weeks for another handyman to simply quote the project. The work was done perfectly, and the cost came back lower than the quote! Michael didn't leave a shred of evidence that he was there (great job cleaning up), and I will definitely hire him in the future. read more

Michael Payne is an amazing, highly skilled, and smart handy man. My neighbor used him to quiet a generator and told me "Mike's a smart guy". Mike was kind enough to stop by the day before Thanksgiving and address 3 repairs I needed even though he was slammed.Then he returned yesterday to complete everything from installing a remote controlled window shade to repairing a screeching garage door (don't have to install a new one), and 10 other things from my To Do List. He is fast and efficient!! He is a highly qualified glazer for glass, and also does remodels. He is also friendly and honest. I asked him to secure 4 drapery supports because the new drapes were really heavy...but he told me only one needed to be fixed!! I am so impressed with him I wish I could give him 10 stars. read more

Michael is an amazing handyman. He has done both big (more big) and small jobs for me. I'm actually going to ask for more work and once it's done I'll post a picture. read more

Michael has done several jobs for us and always with a smile and expertise beyond measure. Jobs have included installing a device to insure that we always have hot water at our faucets without wasting water while we wait for it to heat up, installing outdoor blinds, fixing a damaged indoor blind, installing a custom headboard to the wall and new lights in our bathrooms, repairing a ceiling fan, hanging large original art, repairing our broken garage door opener and more. He is professional and knowledgeable about anything and everything and his assistance is always greatly appreciated. There is nothing that he cannot do and I highly recommend THIS AND THAT and Michael Payne! read more

Bathrooms remodeled Michael is a professional. He does quality work, is on schedule, and is communicative. If I had to use a word to describe Michael it would be integrity. We had two bathrooms that needed plumbing and electrical modifications, soffit removal, and drywall/texture. We are very pleased with the quality of the work and will definitely call Michael when we have another project. read more

Michael did extensive work in our shower as well as repaired water damage in our bathroom. Both jobs were somewhat complex. Michael had the right equipment, supplies and expertise to get the job done in one visit. He has a fantastic attitude, a stellar craftsman who takes pride in his work and is a great communicator. The two times we have had Michael out he ends up going above and beyond. Highly recommended! read more

What an amazing human being! He came and did some work for us months ago and we were very impressed. As time went on, we needed a few other things done and gave Michael a call. Yes, I got the recording saying he was really busy and not taking any NEW clients: but I left him a message and he got back to me as soon as he could. He's a one man Business. I admire that. He knows his stuff! He can do anything! He's quick and very efficient and if I need something done again, I will wait for him to fit us into his schedule. He's that good! Thank you Michael read more

Handyman/Owner Michael Payne is great. I've used his services in two different homes I've owned over the years. He has helped with interior lighting, exterior cleaning and repairs and especially windows. Today he replaced my living room double paned windows with new glass inserts from the factory. He also installed a thick clear glass frameless shower door. It looks awesome! He's knowledgable, nice and trustworthy, and he does thorough, clean work. read more

We have found it difficult to get a good handyman, until Michael. Our first experience was today when he came out to fix a plumbing problem. He was on time, fixed the plumbing as well as the other issues that arose. His price was reasonable and I really appreciated that he cleaned up after himself. Will definitely call him again for future projects. read more

I have known Michael Paine for ten years now, when I first met him at Home Depot where I was an associate. He was always busy, organized, and friendly. Every time he did personal work for me it was prompt, efficient, and priced fairly. Others reported the same experience. His business grew. Now we are personal friends, and we recently spent a day at the local road race course running time trials in my Miata. Early in the day a spark plug blew out the ceramic element but the metal base remained and was still jammed in deep in the motor. Several other drivers brought tools and hands on help, including the owner of the on track Mazda garage, but no one could get it to budge. Michael insisted he knew what tool would work but no one had one and the 5 local auto parts stores did not have it. Buttonwillow Raceway is hot and the blazing sun was cranking up to 105. We were stranded with a disabled car a hundred miles from home on a Sunday afternoon. Michael never gave up. He finally located the tool by phone, hitched a ride 15 miles to buy it, returned, made the fix, and we drove home for dinner time. As we drove in the driveway I couldn't help but say, "Considering what we were up against, I can't believe that we are here!" Michael's persistence and experience made it happen. He brings this same quality to every job he touches, whether it is This or That. Thanks again Michael! read more

I had Mike here in December and had broken my arm so he was installing a ramp to assist me to walk in the house the ramp was purchased from Amazon. It stayed up for less than 2 months and then the heads of the screws broke off and I almost fell on it He won't return my calls . He also installed a pivoting light for reading in bed and the light fell on my head during the nite He did come back for that and said the bracket was to small. So my question is do why did he install it knowing it could fall. An never told me it could fall Very expensive for nothing read more
