Brian was here for three sessions to make his way through our project list. He had his own tools and provided some of his own scrap wood for the fence repair, although we supplied the picture hanging hooks, screws, etc. His work was great and he was professional and punctual. We intend to keep him on speed dial for future projects.
Description of Work: Fixed broken fence, hung pictures and wall hooks, assembled barbecue, assembled ping pong table; disassembled a shed and took remainders to the dump

I guess you get what you pay for. Brian was quite a bit cheaper than others, but I don't think tiling is his expertise. Or maybe the job turned out harder than he expected. I had to go buy all the supplies up front -- I had expected to pick out the tile, but he had me buy the grout, adhesive and even the spacers. He laid out a nice pattern and the tile cuts are precise, but the tiles aren't level with each other or the floor. At first it seemed fine, but now it bothers me every time I walk by. Some of the grout on the sides is already cracking and coming out. I wish we would have spent more money to get a better job.

Brian was a fast worker and easily handled all the jobs I needed done. He is also willing to return and install the hardware needed to hang curtains across the big sliding glass door in the living room. That's a job I've been putting off for a long time.
Description of Work: Brian fixed a leak under the kitchen sink, repaired an electrical outlet, and filled in a hole in the wall.

I've used him I think twice but I offered to put him on Angie's List and he said he's already on. He was fast and he did everything I ask. He brought a helper and they knocked it out in such a good time. They've got a whole lot done in a few hours and they didn't overcharged. The problem was is his availability but that's because he's on Angie's List and that's gonna get tougher. He doesn't want to travel too far out of his area. Everything they did was just quick and done right and some of it was hard. They were very good. I don't know the range of what he can do 'cause I didn't use him in every department like right now, I need some extra wiring done. I'm not sure if he does electrical wiring. I would never hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Brian showed up on time, reviewed the situation and made measurements, and came back with the new door and new gasket to install them. The time to make the new cupboard door and find the new rubber door gasket was about two weeks, which was about what I expected it would be.
Description of Work: Replaced wooden interior cupboard door. Old door was warped by water damage. Brian build a replica door from new boards and plywood, painted it to match previousdoor, and installed it. Replaced rubber door gasket for old-model freezer. Old gasket was cracked and broken, so door did not seal. Freezer model is old so new gasket could not easily be found. Brian found a gasket that would fit, took apart the door, and installed it. Freezer door now seals as it should.

He did the entire deck in about 5 hours including clean up. The cost was half of other estimates.

Great! I was anxious about hiring a "handyman" vs. a licensed contractor, but for the work I needing done, I think he did a terrific job! Very satisfied with the quality of work and the price!
Description of Work: Brian did a wonderful job replacing rotting siding and exterior trim. I would definitely use him again for any work around the house and have recommended him highly to my family and friends. He was very competent, professional, efficient (he worked the entire time - I didn't even see him take a break!), and responsible.

This couldn't have gone better.He could not have been nicer or more efficient and professional. I intend to use him again and recommend him to everyone.
Description of Work: Brian arrived on time and rapidly assembled 2 pieces of furniture, taking less than an hour. The end table had instructions in French! No problem. Then he fixed several small but annoying hardware problems. Finally, he tested and replaced a light fixture blown out by the recent storm saving me molto bucks to an electrician. We then discussed several options for adding doors to/replacing kitchen cabinets. He did measurements and suggested sources.

I'm a single woman homeowner with little to no skills to make repairs around the house. This guy is first rate. It's the second time I've used him. I gave him a list of 5 things and the work was completed within two hours including the time to find the right bolt for fixing the folding chair. Brian is always professional and responsive. His rates are reasonable and I have yet to find a repair that he cannot fix. If you live on the Northern California coastside, Brian is the best guy to help out with any repairs. He has my complete trust.
Description of Work: Replaced 2 smoke alarms Re-set screen door Re-attached draperies that had a broken rod Repaired a damaged folding chair Fixed an air vent on hardwood floor
