This was my second time hiring Handy Ma'am (the first was also great), so I had every confidence that she was going to solve the problem. But I had no idea that I was actually going to LIKE the result. Her idea was to use plexiglass and she used her contacts to get a perfectly cut fit for the window - and cut a hole for the AC hose to snap right in snugly. Also she used carpet tape to adhere the glass and covered it with white electrical tape, so it looks really sharp and clean. And because of the plexiglass, I don't lose any light in the room. I'm so impressed! Because the work was so reasonably priced, I'm contemplating doing another one in the living room since I can easily unsnap the hose and move the unit. I never thought in a million years that that would be even possible. Handy Ma'am is a star and a cool person to boot!
Description of Work: I live in an old building without AC. I bought a portable AC but needed to figure out how to semi-permanently and securely cover the window frame and attach the AC hose to it. The windows in the building are iron-framed, and the way the hardware protrudes into the frame from the bottom is problematic because whatever material used to cover the window would need to be cut to a very specific shape - way beyond my skill set.

She is excellent. She's very patient, very, very good, and very neat. She's great. We're about to call her back because we need some things around the house. She's only available if I want to talk to her personally on Saturday or I can leave her a message in the voicemail.

Andrea is a wonderful, personable and very professional lady. When I called to make appointment, she was very upfront with what she can or cannot do, and what she couldn't do, she referred me to the right contacts. She was very generous in sharing her information and was very helpful even before we even met. When she came to do the various jobs, she was just an absolute delight to work with, efficient and excellent at what she does. Her rates are very reasonable. I definitely recommend her and will definitely work with her again.

Andrea is a lovely person. I told her up front that I love interior design and that I'm particular. She has accommodated me and always done a great job. I highly recommend her.

A+. Andrea really impressed me with her honesty. I explained the problems I had in a rental unit I own. I needed a leaky toilet fixed and the gauges in my hardwood floors buffed out. She asked me to text her pictures of each. I did and she said, and quot;I can save you even hiring meand quot;. She then walked me through how to fix the leaky toilet which turns out she told me just needed a $5 piece at Home Depot that I could easily install myself. (Which I did and it fixed the problem). Then she told me that what I considered was a gauge in the hardwood was actually what she considered a scratch. She told me that it didn't need to be buffed out, that I could just buy a $5 bottle of Old English and rub it in to the scratch with my fingertip. (Which I did and it fixed the problem). Andrea saved me time, money and effort and I really appreciated her honesty. It was very refreshing.
Description of Work: Andrea asked me about the issue I had and volunteered to walk me through how to fix the problem without even needing to hire her.

Problem was the four-panel bi-fold set of doors was not a manufactured, but built in by a contractor. The lumber was too heavy for the track. So it eventually broke, bending the track, breaking the wheel---a mess. But Andrea sized it up, and got to work. She did the job well, the first time, and I will call her again! I recommend her highly.
Description of Work: Andrea fixed a broken closet door. Not a simple one; a four-panel bi-fold set of doors. Andrea fixed it as good as new with 3 dollars of parts and a couple of hours of sanding, refitting, reworking, all with cheerful professionalism! It made me happy, and my wife happy. Couldn't ask for more!

I had Andrea do various projects around my home. A few of things she did were install a new door between my den and my garage, installed and painted new closet doors in my nursery, install new hardware and latches on hall closer doors. She is very competent and considerate of my time and comfort. She always aimed to quiet (as much as a handywoman can be doing projects such as these) while my baby was napping. She helped a**** the projects, choose materials and picked up the materials. I would use Andrea again.

Andrea Campos is wonderful to work with and highly talented at fixing things, especially wood. I would trust her with our furniture as well as anything exterior. She is too busy, so we had to wait to have her finish the job, but she is highly reliable and UNDER charges for her services. So you can see why she's super busy!
Description of Work: Refinished garage door, refinished garden gate (highly carved), repaired surrounding carving on garage door. The last job required researching an extruder company, working with them to match the existing surround, giving us choices, and going to the company to pick up the product as well as installing it.

Andrea is professional, nice, fast and does great work. Her pricing is extremely reasonable. She gives a feeling of confidence, and her work is well done. Can't recommend her highly enough. She is quite popular, and it is becoming difficult to get a time with her:-). Much of her business comes from referrals and returning customers. Andrea cleans up after her work, is kind to my cats and personable but not chatty.
Description of Work: Andrea secured the pole in my closet that my clothes hang from. It needed a middle brace. She went to Home Depot to find the right kind of brace and then installed it perfectly and securely. She also installed new curtain rods in two rooms.

Andrea is a total pro. She's a very busy woman, but that's because she's AWESOME! Not only does she get the job done, but she's courteous and pleasant to be around. Even though she was super busy, she was able to accommodate me into her schedule for the things I needed help with. Only the highest praise for this handywoman!
Description of Work: I've had the pleasure of Andrea work on the previous house I lived in, and now the new apartment I just moved in to. Andrea first came by my previous residence when I was looking for a replacement for the present handyman. She fixed a few doors that wouldn't shut and put up some curtain rods in the storage room. A few months later my shower door wouldn't shut and she took care of that also. Once I moved to my current apartment, I needed help putting severval Ikea Gruntal rods up in my kitchen and various other small projects, so I called Andrea.

andrea is amazing. she comes on time, she is prepared to do the work (with all of the tools/supplies), she is considerate about cleaning up and she is very smart. she came to my house, caulked the window first, so it would have time to dry. then she started working on my door. i have had so many people come and repair the door, but it still wouldn't lock. she fixed it. she explained it to me, told me what i could do to fix the problem and is going to fix my doors so i can close both the screen door and the back door at the same time...why, when they installed it, they didn't do that is beyond me. but i feel so lucky to have andrea figuring out and fixing all of the quirks of my 1921 bungalow. i will never call my other handyman again! i highly recommend her.

She came to look at the job so she could give an estimate to us. It was probably about a week to two weeks before she could actually begin the work, but it was worth it because we could tell she was professional. Her Volvo SUV was leaking oil and she placed a cardboard piece underneath so as not to stain our driveway--very considerate. I had purchased many of the items we needed for the closet work (dowels etc) so she didn't really need to go out and purchase any materials. The jobs were all completed over two days. Very reasonable and pleasant person to deal with. Trusted her in our home and didn't feel the need to keep eyes on her while she worked.
Description of Work: Andrea was great. We had a list of things after moving into our new home. She added closet rods to give me more room to hang items, she hung pictures, addressed some plumbing issues and directed us to an electrician to help with the panel. Overall worth the wait as she does book up and you have to be patient.

She's conscientious, punctual and professional. She's also solidly booked and depending on her bookings, you might have to wait a while. See above for details
Description of Work: Andrea did a number of jobs - hanging mirror, installing floating shelves, preparing baseboards for painting, attaching a headboard, etc. She was very careful and thought through each project. I appreciated her willingness to explain why she was doing something a certain way and any possible obstacles so that you felt involved in the process. She was an absolute professional. I'm waiting for her to return to finish my long list.

Both Andrea and Dave were terrific. Highly professional and very skilled. Andrea was very effective at solving problems and finding appropriate materials for unusual situations. Both were thorough and cared a great deal about getting the job done right. They work long hours and their prices are more than reasonable.
Description of Work: Andrea made all the internal doors in the house close and latch properly by moving the hinges, sanding the doors, or other methods. She also moved strike plates and repaired door knobs, built a small fence outdoors, and repaired other fences outside. Dave, an electrician who works with her, installed ceiling fans.

Andrea came over on a Sunday to go over all the work that needed to be done. She took notes of all the items to be fixed. We scheduled two days of work. She communicated very clearly about her rate which was extremely reasonable. She showed up on time and methodically proceeded to attack my list . She is a very easy person to have in one's home. Quiet, respectful and cleans up really well after each phase of the work. I did not hesitate to leave her alone in my house when I had to go out. This woman is super smart coming up with solutions to some dificult problems. I will recommend her to my friends and family!!!!!

Andrea responded promptly to request for service even though she was booked up several weeks in advance. She was very responsible and professional, calling day before to confirm appointment, arrived promptly and kept detailed notes of services rendered in a notebook. She even gave me a pre-booked date for additional work to be done. Rather than charge me per task, she charged me for a day's work =6 hours) which was very reasonable. She is an excellent problem solver, organizes her work ahead of time, very neat, and technically proficient. Andrea also knows her limits so deferred some future electrical work to a licensed electrician and a broken mirror on wardrobe door to a glass specialist. I will definitely hire her again to install bifold doors and to hang some large artwork as well as for any future handyman work.
Description of Work: The following services were rendered in a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom 1067 square foot condo in a 307-unit condo complex in downtown Los Angeles:1) Installed grab bar in bath enclosure; 2) installed toilet paper holder; 3) realigned sticking door; 4) fixed sliding bathroom door lock; 5) installed new toilet flush mechanism; 6) installed new closet light fixture; 7) caulked tub areas and tub fixtures; 8) took measurements to replace two bi-fold doors; 8) touch-up painting of floor boards and walls damaged by carpet installation/move-in; 8) installed three doors stops.

Andrea, repainted a room that had been painted very very dark colours. She evaluated the amount of supplies need so accurately I have just enough paint leftover to do minor touch-ups when needed. She even wrote on top of the cans the room so I would know exactly where to use the paint. There was an unexpected hole in the wall hat needed to be repaired in the same room. She also repair a bathroom door and replaced a bedroom door. Every step she explained what needed to be done and why. I am also having new flooring to be laid. Andrea will be back to repair the baseboards. Andrea is very considerate of your needs and schedule. She is very thirfty shopping for supplies. She goes about her work and you hardly know she is there. I absolutely have her on my speed dial for any add'l work I may need.
