I contacted several places, and Dana was not only the most responsive, he was the fairest priced and the most comprehensive. He came on site to quote the project to make sure that he thoroughly understood and could give me an accurate price. I thought that I would have to find a separate vendor for the subsequent painting, but he did that too, and that made the whole process seamless. I had a window of about 10 days before I had houseguests arriving. I told Dana I could do the project before or after their visit. He had a crew on site the next day and it was all completed with 2 days to spare. Both the drywall and paint teams were excellent. They prepped well and cleaned up very well afterwards. They were very easy to communicate with. The informed me of what would happen each day and asked questions where any clarification was needed. It was a big effort for me, but the inconvenience was minimized because they took great care with their work and were respectful of my home. The quality of the work was excellent. There was one unanticipated issue discovered when I went to put everything back after the work was completed. I informed Dana of it and he had a guy come out to resolve it to my satisfaction. I couldn't be happier with the work that Above It All did. I have already recommended them to friends and would most definitely use them again.

Willie Hickey is the best handyman ever! I lived in Irvine about 20 years ago and, upon purchasing my first condominium, used Willie for several projects. He always showed up on time, had fair pricing, was very pleasant to work with, did excellent work, and most of all earned my trust and respect! I recently returned to the area, almost 20 years later, and was both surprised and pleased to see that Willie is still alive, well, and working harder than ever as a handyman! (and he looks the same -- the guy doesn't age a bit!). This week he installed some blackout shades for me and, as always, did an excellent job at a very fair price. I highly recommend Willie Hickey for all your handyman needs -- as he says, "No job is too small," so give him a call and I'm sure he will be your handyman for life; he certainly is mine! Thanks again for all your help over the years, Willie! read more

Willie Hickey is the best! He was on time, took less than the time quoted, and fixed my pocket door repair expertly and re-caulked! He even completed a cabinet door repair and then cleaned up so thoroughly after working that one wouldn't have known he drilled and hammered at all. I was relieved that he replaced all door trim without damaging any of it. I am sending all my friends and neighbors his contact information because we use handymen all the time and I'm thrilled to have found a great one! I highly recommend and I will use again.
