I was really impressed with David. He is very honest as well. David is also very reasonable priced. I had some questions to ask him about some other things that I may need done around our home, and he gladly showed me some things and some great tips. He will be our go to guy for any odd jobs we may need done around our home.
Description of Work: I hired David with Fuller Handymen to take care of some plumbing work for me. I needed a faucet in our kitchen replaced.

Mr. Fuller was very good and very professional . His work was on time and on budget. We did have to call his service when things weren't within the promised time frame, but that was due to other contractors not getting back to him. We've already given his name to friends who also needed work done. We're extremely satisfied with the work he's done for us.

I needed two large wall decorations hung as soon as possible. I was having company over on the weekend and wanted the work completed by then. I called the Fuller company mid-week (I believe) in the morning, and my call was returned that evening. I was able to get an appointment for Saturday morning. David told me right up front that the weekend rate would be charged at time-and-a-half. David arrived on time with the necessary tools to do the job. It didn't take him much more than 30 minutes to complete the job. What was really nice was that he asked if I had anything else he could help me with. I remembered that the belt on my treadmill was slipping. He took a look, went out to his truck to get the necessary tools, and fixed it. I would definitely use him again!

Description of Work: We have two large sliding glass doors and one of them was difficult to slide open and close. Mr. Fuller came to our house and determined what was wrong and what needed to be done to repair the door. He would have to return with a helper as the door is large and heavy. We were told the cost of the repair, and a follow up appintment was made and they returned, removed the door, checked for the type of rollers, went and purchased them and returned and put new rollers on both doors. The doors slide perfectly. Mr. Fuller was responsive, professional and very reasonable.

My shower door was stuck in place and couldn't be separated. They came and identified the problem quickly (frozen rollers), went and purchased them at the hardware store and replaced them quickly. They also inquired if anything else needed looking at and helped me out with a few other quick questions. They were prompt and courteous and did a great job.

We needed to fix some cracks and damage to our drywall. Mr. Fuller and his son were on time and took the time to understand our needs. They were able to suggest and implement cost effective fixes. The quality of work was good. We also asked them to add trimming and they also did a good job with that.

Called David's office to set-up an appontment. Recevied a call back within the hour with a date and time for the work to be done. David arrived as scheduled and completed the work requested. During the installation he point out that the recepticals in the kitchen near the sink were not GFI protected and suggested they be replaced to meet existing codes. I appreciated the recommendation, and the switches and recepticals upgraded. The work performed and communication was very professional. Overall David provides quality work and timely customer service. I would not hesitate to use his services again

The person at the office was very helpful at all times. The person that was doing the work was also very helpful. I was anticipating replacing the entire door jam (tenant was there and sent me pictures of the damage). While the appointment was made for the next day, delays in his morning appointment caused a delay in servicing my tenant. Since the door was unsecured, this worried the tenant very much that the appointment was delayed. Once there, I spoke to the handyman and they recommended a less expensive repair with the same results, strong door jam. I did like the service very much once they got there, but the delay was a concern. I believe it was at least a miminum of 4 hours delay. Other than that, the Service was great and I understand a job might take longer than expected. Just in this case the door could not be closed and the tenant was on edge. I was called by the handyman at times indicating the delay but keeping me up-to-date. So can't fault him for doing that. I would still call on them but ask for a morning appointment. this was a short notice call also and they did try to help me. Thanks.

I do apologize for the delay in your service. I will be happy to offer you a $25 discount off your next service call. As it states in my company profile, I do not offer emergency services, but I did try to accommodate your tenant's needs since I understood the urgency of the situation.

I have been trying to get these household repairs/installations done for a LONG time. I had two different handymen come out to give me an estimate (neither from Angie's List, by the way). One came out to give me an estimate, but never showed up (or called) when I arranged to have him do the work. The second handyman never even bothered to show up and give me an estimate. Once I called Fuller Handyman Service, all went smoothly. David came out, gave me a time and cost estimate that was reasonable. I then called his office to schedule the work to be done. He came on time, finished the work in great time, and cleaned up after himself. I will definitely be using him again.

I am disabled so it was left up to Mr. Fuller to select the sink, faucet and garbage disposal for me. He did an amazing job of selecting the products to suit my requirements. He arrived promptly, and worked diligently. He handled an additional request for wiring for a future light fixture with no problem. He left the work area clean and provided all the manuals for the items he had installed. He finished on time and within his quoted price. It was a pleasure to work with him.

I received a return phone call within two hours. And an appointment for the next day. Mr. Fuller was prompt and knowledgeable. I was pleased with the work that he did. Unfortunately, he was unable to do all of the work I had planned for him, but it was because I had purchased fixtures that didn't fit the valve inside the wall. He took the time to take one of the old fixtures off to show me what he was talking about.

Mr. Fuller was able to come out the same week I called to give me an estimate on the repairs. He came out the next week to do the repairs. He was on time, very polite, and did a great job on the repairs. It was he who noticed the faucets in the laundry room were very corroded, and since he replaced them, my washer has been working better. He even gave me a significant discount on his original estimate at the end of the job.

Mr. Fuller repaired damages on my new security iron entry door. He touched up scratches in the metal on the outside, put putty in the holes left from the old screen door removal, and painted, and installed a new metal door stoop plate, that the other useless contractor took, he said it wasn't needed. So Not True. Great experience with Mr. Fuller and his team. Very professional indeed, and did a fantastic job. He knows how to do a good job, and won't leave until customer is truly happy.
Description of Work: Mr. Fuller and his painters did an awsome job on a previous installation of my new iron security front door. The first contractor who installed my door, did a really bad job. (not from Angies List) by the way. Mr. Fuller touched up scratches on the outside of the door, and filled in the old door jams with putty, and painted, and also installed a door stoop plate, because the other guy said it wasn't needed!! Baloney.....There was a gap on the bottom of the door, which left me with enough opening to let flys in. This other guy also took my old metal screen door and the metal door plate for his own convienence, I'm sure he sold them for the metal. Thank goodness for Mr. Fuller, I will definately call him again for other handyman projects. He really is a very knowledgeable, professional and very nice man. Ms. Taylor Hayward,CA

I was able to ask him some questions about some other concerns that I had and he answered them all. He was very helpful and I would have them come back again. I've had other handymen come to my home before, and I was very pleased with them. They were very responsive and on time. They came out the day after I called. The price was very reasonable, it even included the price for the cabinet hinges. I would recommend them to anyone!
