Richard first came out to my property and then quickly provided an estimate. I'm not an early morning person and he immediately agreed to the start time I requested. We set a date for the work and he showed up exactly on time. Richard worked essentially non stop and quickly, professionally and skillfully completed all items of work we had agreed upon. Richard was pleasant, personable and easy to work with. He tolerated my two barking dogs with good humor and patience. I will use his services again and in fact after he had complete this work I asked if he would do another bid for some more work I needed done. He agreed and after a day that had to have been tiring he then took measurements and noted the additional work I needed done. We will soon schedule this next project.
Description of Work: Installed new deadbolt. Installed new dishwasher spray arm. Installed new landscape sprinkler timer. Removed existing grout and caulking and re-grout to match preexisting grout on kitchen counter. Installed new pop up drain assembly in bathroom sink.

Handyman was courteous, friendly and punctual. He performed the work competently and to my satisfaction. He went out of his way to fix stubborn electrical problem that required more time than expected. His rate was satisfactory and affordable. He cleaned up after himself as well.

Great! Richard was prompt in emailing the bid and showing up on time. He was professional, friendly and cleaned up after the job was completed. He even installed a fourth light fixture that was not on the original bid and was able to move a latch on our gate so we could close it again. Yeah! He also gave me a senior discount. I will definitely be calling him again.
Description of Work: Two replacement indoor lights and two replacement outdoor light fixtures installed.

I had been looking for a contractor to fix my window frame so my window would close for a year. Everyone just wanted to replace my windows. Richard is really knowledgeable about how buildings are constructed and always tries to just fix the problem. I had him come out to assess the problem and maybe fit it. At least he could tell what the exact problem, fix it or tell me what kind of contractor I should be looking for. What he found was a ton of lint and cat hair on the rollers on the bottom. He took out the window, checked and cleaned the rollers and the track then replaced the window. He showed me how it happened so I can avoid this. I cannot say enough positive about Richard. I have used him before and he never tries to do the "big sell". I totally trust him and recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: I had a corner window that would not align so it got more and more difficult to close. He fixed the frame so it now slides.

Richard arrived on time and completed replacement perfectly. He had to modify the mounting slightly due to holes in ceiling from the original lighting (incandescent back in the '80s). Great job,

I found Richard on Angie's List, after reading reviews. I needed some work done at my mom's home in Walnut Creek, California. Richard provided me with a quote for work planned before setting up work date. He was on time and worked efficiently. I appreciated his professional approach, and is willingness to allow me to add on a couple extra small tasks that I came across the day before he was coming out. Richard is nice man who is friendly and has a pleasant sense of humor. I will work with him again when tasks come up.
Description of Work: Installed garbage disposal and kitchen sink faucet fixture, and fire alarm.

He was very patient with me. He was very honest with me. He had a great personality.
Description of Work: He checked for mold, he said there wasn't any. He checked the toilets for me. He checked a drip to a connector in the front yard and told me how to fix it myself. He came back to do it on a Sunday and ending up fixing it for me. He barely costed me anything.

Project was finished very efficiently in about 3 hours and old material hauled away. Arrived on time and finished on time. Excellent job. he reduced his price from the original estimate since he did not need as many materials as he thought. He took the materials back to where he purchased them and saved me about $50.
Description of Work: Removed a redwood post and section of fence by hammering out old concrete. Repaired fence section and new redwood post set in concrete. Post had to be very strong since gate closes against it.

Richard, was professional and very competent. He met with me for my first project and provided a detailed estimate of the work scope. I had to postpone the work on that property for unrelated reasons, but I needed him to work on my other rental property. His professionalism from our first encounter led me to hire him without getting an estimate - no questions asked. He offered to do the work on an hourly basis and was very fair about the pricing. He even gave me a discount. The work was done quickly and to my satisfaction. I wouldnot hesitate to hire him again.

Everything was clearly put into writing, and verbally explained. He was punctual, knowledgeable, professional. Work was completed on time. My husband and I really liked what he did on the gate by adding the sliding bolt. This was in addition to the pull latch at the top. The fence looks great and is sturdy. The quality of materials and workmanship were excellent. We would definitely use RC&G Handyman Services again without question.
Description of Work: Richard Hoffmeister was here on two days in the same week. First he built a short front fence and gate section. The second day he replaced 18 feet of broken fence.

Richard is great handyman. He's very good at what he does and with a professional attitude from the first visit he came into install new door locks and fix the balancing of our washing machine. We called him a second time to help install a closet system for one of the rooms and best of all, he pricing is fair compared to other places I checked before contacting him, which wanted $300+ for 4 hours time. We will definitely call him again in the future.

Richard was ways professional,
Description of Work: Replaced faucets in sink and bathroom, removed ceiling fan and replaced with light, changed out outdoor porch lights and changed out 2 doorknobs. Richard was professional, punctual, always followed through, and he really knows his stuff. He did this work in a very old mobile home and as a result encountered serious challenges. Pipes were so rusted they were difficult to get apart and work with but he stuck with it. He cleaned up fastidiously after himself and I really appreciate that. The bill was very close to the estimate, even tho the job took longer due to the issues. I couldn't be more pleased and I will definitely call him again in the future.
