Swiss Handyman

Install was done quickly and efficiently with attention to detail.

Not well because I did not end up hiring him.

Handyman did not want to do the work

Mr. Huber is always very professional. He replaced the existing cook top with the new one. He purchased and installed a new gas line and replace all of the ceiling diffusers in the kitchen with new ones. The cooktop was not an absolute perfect fit,so Mr. Huber had to do some caulking around the edges. It is not even detectable. We are very happy with the work. We have hired him several times and we have always been very happy. At first glance, it appears that his rates are high,however, our experience has been that the work is done on time, it is done right the first and only time. Mr. Huber is meticulous and professional and we trust him...that is worth money!

Dale, from Swiss Handyman, did a great job of completing a challenging task in one day. We would use them again.

After purchasing a large welded wire kennel almost 3 mos ago, I had trouble finding someone who would come out to set it up. Either the job was too small or they were booked for months. I contacted Swiss Handyman and Arnold said he would come out and do the job. He is very responsive to email communication and able to set an appointment within a very short time. I had a 7' tall kennel set up but due to the unevenness of the lawn, they had to figure out a way to adjust the normal installation. A lock was installed on the kennel. The patio door was not closing without slamming and it was temporarily fixed until I can get a whole new lock. One of the dog doors, a wall unit, was not functioning properly due to the manufacturer not including the correct screws for that installation. Arnold was able to use some toggle bolts and get the frame secured. I also had a dryer hose that needed to be replaced so he moved the dryer out and put that on for me. They pay attention to the details and make sure it is done right. I am very happy (and my dogs too) with the kennel and all the work done in approx. 5 hrs.

Arnold did an excellent job of removing two poles from the backyard. He was prompt and on time. I would use the Swiss Handyman again for a future project.

investigated a leak - went on roof fixed windows/doors Advice on future repairs

After my wife and I bought a new home, we needed help installing and repairing a few items which we had been unable to do ourselves. We are very satisfied with the work he did for us and he even did it for less than the estimate.

Great! My husband and I couldn't be happier. When we have additional projects, they are our guys!

This gentleman is lovely and likes to talk a lot! He is also very bright and does good work. The problem is that he works VERY slowly and wanted to talk to me. Then he charged me for all the time we talked! After 2 days, he had installed the TV, fixed one door, installed one lighting fixture and cut (not installed) the base moulding. For this I was charged $1,350...Yes, that is One thousand three hundred fifty dollars....I bought all of the supplies and that is after the Angies list discount!!!!

Arnold is a nice enough guy but we were very unhappy with the work he did. We had a leaking sun roof and asked him to take a look and apply a new sealant around the glass. He recommended scraping off all the old sealant and applying a new layer and quoted us at $1300. Not only did it cost more than this, the very next day the sun roof was still leaking in several places. He stated he could not guarantee his work (after he charged us and completed the work) and blamed the leaks on faulty design. He did assist us in putting a tarp over the roof but when our roofer suggested that more sealant be applied, he stated that he didn't agree with this. We will have to pay someone else to redo this work. Also with the other job we were disappointed as well because he splintered our vintage redwood. Had he drilled from the outside to inside this could have been avoided. Arnold charged $95 an hour and he works slow. After talking with some neighbors, this seems like an exorbitant fee, considering the lack of quality.

The Handyman, Arnold Huber, was fantastic. He was on time, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable and did the work very well. He had to hang a large painting, and he did so perfectly. He even added an earthquake proof hook, so he did a very good job. He just went through and knew exactly what to do, clearly he is a very expert and experienced contractor. I will most definitely use Swiss Handyman again, and I certainly hope I get Arnold.

Every time I had jobs done, they sent someone different. Some guys were good while others had to google how to do everything along the way and ended taking a very long time to do crappy work. I found another handyman and was happy until he retired recently (sob...). Looking for a handyman I thought I would give Arnold's outsourced handyman another shot and emailed via Angie's List. They took a while to get back to me telling me to email them directly to get rates. Weird, but okay ... emailed and never heard back. So not much has changed.

To do this work right, I really needed someone who would tolerate a high degree of attention to detail. I had had another electrician install a light fixture, which he (the other guy) did without reference to the vanity cabinet beneath it. I wanted someone who would work with me to get the vanity cabinet, the mirror and the light fixture into harmony. I also wanted to remove some door hinges that had been carelessly painted over and replace them with something attractive. I was looking for someone who would support me in these details, work with me to really get it right. Arnold provided that and more. In each case he listened carefully to what I wanted (it helps to think it through and write it down--that's something I learned along the way). Then he approached the work exactly as I wanted him to, pointing things out in a helpful way, and taking care to show me how he had solved each problem according to my guidelines. We are fussy about the house, and we really pleased to find someone who would accept that rather than cut corners or make assumptions. When there was a part of the job for which someone else was better suited, he brought that person in. I would not hesitate to recommend him, and will definitely use him in the future. He's a gem.

was great. punctual, friendly, honest and hard working. Would use him again.

Vendor was non-responsive to multiple email requests for handyman services - minor stucco and carpentry for our building in LA. Emails sent from Angie's site and vendors website were not answered.

We were not able to use them. However I will be calling them for future things that they will be able to do. They let ME know before even coming out, that my issue was tricky and should be done by a licensed Plummer. Not many companies would do that!

Top flight workmanship by a top shelf handyman. Everything you would expect from a Swiss tradesman. If you want cheap or fast look elsewhere; if you want work done carefully and thoughtfully, he's your man. Very knowledgeable and capable and well worth the money. In short, not your average handyman.

Arnold installed an A/C unit in my daughter's room, which brought us all a great deal of relief this summer! He was extremely professional and more than fair with his price, he did not charge for materials and even gave us a discount as a new family. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!!

This is a great operation. They're flexible, professional and did great work. They worked really well with my tenants, kept me informed and checked in when they had questions or needed a decision on something. Overall terrific job.

Although we weren't able to complete this job (for reasons completely unrelated to Swiss Handyman), Arnold and Christine were helpful and professional. I would definitely contact them again in the future.

Mr. Huber was: 1).Right on time. 2). Very professional. 3). Organized 4).Very pleasant. 5). The work was done right! Everything looks great and very polished-no "rough edges". 6). Very efficient-no wasted time. 7). Meticulous(sp?). Left no trace of mess. 8). Discount for using Angie's list. We were also impressed by the booking process. Everything is laid out in writing in an E-mail so it is clear exactly how they charge and what all of their policies are...and everything went exactly as stated. We were so happy with the way his work looks and also the process itself--the way he went about his work. We would definitely call him again and feel confident to recommend Swiss Handyman to our friends!

The handyman was late to arrive. We received a call at 9:15 stating that he would be late without an explanation as to why, he arrived a bit before 10:30a. Arnold did great work but at a snails pace. I would only recommend him for work if the cost was stated beforehand and was not done by the hour. We had 3 fans replaced which took him 8 hours. We felt that we were over changed. A job like this should not have cost us over $600 dollars. It was not that difficult. We were not happy with our experience with Swiss handyman and will not use them again.
