Swiss Handyman

We used him a few times because he kept coming back for other things. I have nothing to compare the price to. I would definitely use him again.

They charged $95 per hour. The handyman had a difficult time, to remove the old knob. He tried a cutting plier, which didn?t work, later he started to use an axor blade and still do anything. Then the owner called as I was not happy, with the job. The owner then agreed to compensate with half hour?s price. I was very unhappy and will never use their services again.

The price was a little expensive for the work they wanted to do. I didn't have them continue the work. I wasn't happy with the work they did. The quality of their work turned out to be different than what we had been led to believe. I don't think that they were totally prepared for the work. I wouldn't recommend using them. I thought they were overpriced. I wouldn't use them again.

Their quote amount was way too much. Handyman for me is someone who doesn't charge but he is charging like a $100 an hour or something like that. That is no handyman. We tried to stay under a contractor but he is more than a Handyman. The other people were too expensive. Then I found someone else through a friend, I had a problem with the door. Both of them said that you have to shape the door and fix the door frame. The third guy came out and said it's the hinges right here, and asked to just hit the door and hinges and it would fit in the door way better. He showed me exactly the problem and I couldn't believe it. As far as I am concerned either they didn't diagnose or they were not been truthful with me to get a better salary. I was not happy with either one of them. He is just charging way too much, especially for labor. He is not good because I don't think he diagnosed the problem properly, I think it had to do with the hinges. When someone pointed it out to me and I actually saw the hinges I was like why didn't Swiss Handyman see that! I tried the handyman and the construction people and their prices were similar. Handyman is more of a construction guy, not a necessarily a handyman. I was not happy with them at all. Handyman took a while to get back to me after he came over here. They seemed professional, but when a third person came and pointed out the hinges, then I would have to question their professionalism.

Very well, I highly recommend them.

I found our Handyman! He's punctual, polite, and most important does the job RIGHT!!!! Thank you Shane and Swiss Handyman!!!

Arnold was flexible and I would say the best thing about him is you can talk to him about any detail concerning the job. He did supervise his people and that is very important since you don't want the supervisor to show up one day and disappear for the rest of the job. So I would say he is very considerate. They worked very hard and I would use them again.

My front door was old--rain and valley sun had caused swelling and shrinkage, and I needed to replace it with something sturdy and well-sealed. Rico the handyman came out and agreed that the door needed to be replaced. I suggested a steel or pre-primed wood door from Home Depot. Rico and later a project manager who called from the office said it would be better to get a solid wood door from Swiss Handyman's preferred door supplier--that any money I saved from choosing a Home Depot door would cost me in time Rico spent trying to get that door installed just right. So I thought, OK, I am going to get a really nice door, and it is going to cost $750. Swiss Handyman took care of ordering the door. I paid the door supplier by credit card, and the new door was delivered the day before the installation. At the appointed time, Rico brought all the hardware and spent about 3 (maybe four) hours cutting, sanding, and installing the door. He did a solid job installing the door. The only thing that went wrong was I stupidly assumed he would be painting or at least priming the door, since I had suggested a pre-primed door and they had talked me out of that. About halfway through the installation, I asked, Rico, are you going to paint this door? He told me I would be much better off getting painters for that--their hourly rate will be much less. So I spent the next three weekends priming and painting my $750 door. I have a really nice door now, but what a pain in the a**.

We returned from vacation to smell wet wood and find the cabinets under our sink warped by a week of dripping pipes. We intended to get bids from several contractors, but were so impressed with Mr. Huber's professionalism and thoughtfulness about our options, that we hired him on the spot. We were not disappointed. The cabinets not only look like new & blend perfectly with the cabinets that did not have to be repaired, but the sliding cabinet that holds our kitchen trash can actually works better than it ever did. The work was done in a timely fashion and within the budget promised (not cheap, but what we had agreed to). As a final touch, Katrina--the "artist" who came to match colors and stain the cabinets--noticed that our bathroom vanity cabinet was old and showing considerable wear & tear. While we were not home, she re-stained that cabinet, which was not part of the contract, at no extra cost. What a nice surprise! We would definitely use this wonderful team again.

Arnold's team was prompt, professional, and courteous. Since it was a large job, it spanned a period of about 5 weeks, although the team did not come each of those days. After installation of the dish washer and faucet, there was a water leak, which Arnold's team returned to fix immediately. The kitchen now works great and looks beautiful.The experience as a whole was quite satisfactory, and we would definitely use them again. They are trustworthy and they stand behind their work. They do charge by the hour, so whatever preparations you can make to ease the process will be beneficial.

He showed up on time, was polite and professional, discussed the job with me, got to work. Took his lunch break in his car, came back, finished up. It was a breeze.

Came out for an estimate (an hour late)...said he would call back with the cost for the work, never heard from again.

Was a two person job and price higher than I expected. Shelf was put up in wrong place and had to be remounted - which they did and didn't charge me for the extra time. They didn't know how to install the Ikea kitchen cabinet, so a lot of time was spent trying to figure that out. They were professional and courteous though, and called to follow up about the job afterward.

They showed up when they said they would, got back to me quickly with a very fair quote, started their work the next day and moved quickly and were flexibly in changing the scope of work as unanticipated additional details arose (like hardware for doors arrived late and they went and picked it up and installed it the morning of my inspection so that everything passed. Liza maintained regular contact with me by phone and e-mail several times a day as we were on a tight schedule. All the workers were friendly and professional.

1. Had no problems with the tub so far 2.There was a problem with the sprayer on the new faucet. Water sprayed everywhere underneath my sink anytime the water was on. I called them the next morning they came over right away to take a look at it. They took it down to Home Depot and got me a replacement sprayer. When the problem turned out to be a manufacturer's defect Arnold still found a way to fix it. 3. Rico did an amazing job with the door. He even repainted places where he had to sand some of the door down. I'm definitely planning on using them again!

We have had problems with our front door knob falling off. We paid a previous handyman to fix the problem, but it didn't take. In this case, Rico repaired the doorknob, but it only lasted for about three months. When I called Arnold from Swiss Handyman back, he had Rico come out and replace the doorknob at no further charge. Rico also put in a support beam of wood on our swingset for free. So I would say that I was extremely satisfied with this service call!

He was very good. I would definitely recommend him. They're very versatile, so you can use them for different projects. They charge by the hour, so sometimes you have to keep track of how long a job will take. Everything was fine.

Overall, it was a very, very satisfactory experience. The handyman arrived on time, he was friendly and professional and he did a good job. Later that day, I noticed that the garbage disposal pipe that had been fixed was still leaking. I contacted Swiss Handyman's office, described the problem and asked for immediate help because this was the type of problem that could cause a widespread leak across my kitchen floor and then down into my basement. Arnold came over that evening and repaired the leak. He explained that the handyman that had come earlier in the day had made the proper repair, but a tiny fragment of dirt trapped in the valve was the cause of the leak. I have already contacted Swiss Handyman about another, more extensive repair to be performed at my house and I intend to hire them. I have had uneven experiences with handymen in the past, and I would say that finding Swiss Handyman on Angie's List has been a very welcome find and I strongly recommend them.

It went perfectly. Very clean and professional work. He showed up on time and was very respectful of my property. Got the job done better than expected. Even picked up all the wood. Painless.

Saw Swiss Handyman on Angie's List. I always call the listings that have lots of positive feedback. Arnold (Swiss Handyman) was quick to respond. He and his co-worked Rico (also a nice Swiss gentleman) came out. Rico built a great cabinet in ONE DAY! It looks fabulous. I've always wanted a cabinet on our patio (for storage inside and to use as a buffet on the top when we have parties). We recently had our kitchen renovated, so i had the granite guy use the extra granite for a top. Just needed a sturdy cabinet underneath the granite. Rico did a fabulous job! Can't wait 'til I can get some more money--there is so much stuff I'd love to have built (bathroom cabinets/vanity, shoe storage, etc.). So, thanks Swiss Handymen--you ROCK!

They were very clean, prompt and did a good job. The only down side was that they gave me an estimate and then wanted to be on an hourly rate. I don't know if it was a communication issue but I told them we were doing it for the original estimate. There wasn't an argument over it, I just thought the were giving me a fixed rate and they thought I was getting generic estimate. There wasn't a problem and I would use them again. I thought the price was very fair.

We received no bid, and no word that it is not coming or that they are not interested in doing the work after several weeks, Very unprofessional.

Arnold is very professional and pleasant to deal with, as were his workers. The quality of work was very good as well. My one complaint is that the job took much longer than estimated, but I was happy with the quality of the work in the end.

Two men worked four hours to repair walls left open from plumbing work done earlier. Painted front door with special color provided by me. Cleaned up well.

Arnold (and his number one assistant, Rico) have done a number of things around my house that have helped bring it in to the 21st century. After purchasing a 1950's home in the San Fernando Valley, we had a long list of improvements we were looking to have done, and Arnold was able to handle just about all of them. Helpful, pleasant, and a true joy to work with, I've hired Arnold and Swiss Handyman again and again, because they won't disappoint. One note: Arnold may be a bit more pricey than some of the other handymen on this list, but if you want the best, you have to be willing to pay for the best. And the number of times I've rehired Arnold (multiple!) should tell you what I think of his work. I'd rather pay a little more up front and get the job done right, than have someone do the work more cheaply, and then have to have it fixed later.
