Phil was great. My mom had a long list of nagging jobs and he did them all perfect and in record time. I was particularly impressed that he was able to fix her sliding glass door. The thing was impossible to open and close. We tried having it fixed by others and nothing worked. Phil worked a miracle on that one. I would call him again anytime I needed to have additional work done.
Description of Work: Fixed the garbage disposal, dishwasher, bathroom faucet, toilet and sliding glass door.

He was terrific! Did everything he could today and took measurements for the next time. He provided excellent advice on how to take care of a few items, he's extremely knowledgeable. Great guy!
Description of Work: I had a huge list of things.....moving shelves, installing a mirror, fixing a sink, just a long list! Phil was prompt, incredibly easy to work with, very professional !
We have several young grandchildren, who could easily push open the patio and bedroom doors, so we were concerned for their safety. Phil repaired 3 door lock mechanisms and installed new wood panels at the base of the patio door. The professional wood panels improved the appearance of the door as well as the integrity of the wood paneling. The wood is exposed to sun and rain all year round. He saved me money by advising me to replace an existing door rather than replacing window panes and installing a plexiglass shield on the exterior for protection.
Description of Work: He fixed 3 doors that didn't latch and installed wood panels on a patio door. He also examined and gave me advice on the leaking hot tub, cracked bathroom tiles, as well as an ornamental ironwork fence that needed repair.

Great. Phil was prompt, friendly, respectful (to me, as my husband was not home), and super efficient. He went about his business rapidly and clearly explained what he was doing, and then, quickly, fixed the problems. Phil installed the RO with ease, neatly, cleanly and I felt safe enough to run out to a meeting and leave him alone in the house for a bit. We won't call anyone other than Phil for jobs around the house now -- as a landlord he understands how to get things done efficiently, as a technician, he does it right.
Description of Work: Spent all morning diagnosing and resolving problems with the lighting (exterior) and interior circuit breaker, installed water filter.

I would highly recommend Phil. He contacted us right away and gave us an estimate range based on our description of the work over the phone. The estimate was fair so we set an appointment up. Phil was on time, knew what he was doing and cleaned everything up after the job. He completed the job UNDER the estimate. One other thing, He saw that there was a gap between the bathtub faucet and the wall and advised that it should be sealed to avoid water damage. After he left, we noticed that he had sealed the gap with caulking at no charge. We will use Phil again.
Description of Work: Installed 2 Bathroom Exhaust Fans where there were no previous fans.
This was the second time Phil had done work for us. We were very pleased with the work he had done for us in the past, and he was just as great this time.. He arrived promptly, and began working right away. He worked very quickly and did a thoroughly professional job. He worked neatly and cleaned up afterwards.. As he was working, he checked with us to make sure he was doing things the way we wanted them. When he had done work for us in the past, he provided suggestions regarding the type of medicine cabinet that would look best in our bathroom. We purchased the type of cabinet he suggested, and it looks great.
Description of Work: He replaced a medicine cabinet, installed Roman shades on two windows, installed a sewing machine in a sewing machine cabinet, and purchased wood to replace two 2X4 inch boards that had termite damage in the garage. He also gave us his opinion on some other work we were considering saying that it probably wasn't necessary. He also provided some great suggestions on shelving options for the garage.

Phil returned my call promptly, explained his pricing and made an appointment for a couple of days later. He was on time and explained the work he would do and the estimated time it would take. He went to work immediately and did a great job. He is professional, knowledgable, efficient and friendly. I will definitely be using his handyman service again.
Description of Work: Repaired gate that had loose boards and no latch. He shored up the gate and fence and installed new latch. Repaired the ledge around my rose garden. Had to remove and replace one long board. Sanded the entire way around and painted. The rose garden is about 25 years old and will now probably last another 25 years.

I needed to repair it quickly and called Phil. He returned my call immediately and I described the problem and he knew just what it was. He gave me an estimate over the phone of approximately $275.00 but told me until he actually saw the damage he could assess the actual cost. We made plans for him to meet me at the property two days later. He was very punctual and professional. He looked at the damage and gave me two options, a cheaper option or a more involved option that would not involve patching. I chose the more involved option that would fix the problem forever. He said it would take three hours so I left him at the property and he called me about three hours later to tell me it was fixed and that he left the bill on the counter. It was less than estimated ($207.00) and the job was done perfectly. He also gave me a $20.00 discount for being a first time customer. Also he left and purchased supplies for me so I wouldn't have to track down supplies. He cleaned up so well I couldn't tell he was there. I was very pleased to have found an excellent handyman.
Description of Work: The service involved was to replace door moulding on a masterbedroom door. On our rental property the tenant must have gotten locked out of the bedroom and forced the door open creating extensive damage on the door moulding/casing.

Phil responded back to my inquiry very quickly. He offered to get the job done sooner than I expected, but I had to coordinate with my tenant. Phil contacted the tenant directly and made the appointment based on tenant availability. He didn't charge extra for parts and he provided the receipts from Home Depot to prove that. We spoke about the drawer front and I mentioned it had previously been glued. He said that he would look and if needed, provide support cross piece of wood and would screw it in from behind. While at the house, he also repaired another drawer front that was loose for no additional charge. Phil was very pleasant to speak with and right away mentioned a discount for new customers. All went well and I would definitely use Phil again.
Description of Work: Phil repairs the 'fake' kitchen cabinet door. It had fallen off from the previous tenant and was glued on. It fell off again. The tenant reports that the drawer front was repaired to satisfaction. In addition, Phil added a new garage door opener switch to just inside the side garage door entry.

We were able to make an appointment within a short time of contacting Phil. He arrived promptly on the day of the appointment--in fact a little early. He checked out the cameras we had purchased and discussed with us the best places to install them. He then completed all of the necessary electrical connections as well as the securing of the cameras to the house. He also installed, inside the house, the timer switch that we provided for him. The work took a little less than 3 hours altogether. Everything works properly and looks neat and finished. We are happy with the results.
Description of Work: Phil installed 2 surveillance cameras outside in the front of our house and a timer switch (unrelated to the cameras) inside the house.

Our old fireplace set was rusting out, so I bought a replacement at Home Depot. I originally called a plumber from the List to install a replacement gas fireplace set, but he did not want to come from Carlsbad down to Solana Beach. I happenedd to be at my local hardware store and asked them to recommend them for the job. They pointed me to Phil, who was highly rated on the List. He was punctual, knowledgeable about fireplace sets, and explained everything that he was doing. His installation was perfect, and his charge very reasonable. I will definitely use Phil again for plumbing and other jobs, and would recommend him to others.

See above Phil has done many jobs for us, and I felt his fees were fair. He wastes no time, and makes sure it is done right. He assures us that if we are not happy he will return and make it right.
Description of Work: Phil was recommended by a neighbor for whom he had done carpentry and electrical work.For us he repaired a back door which was in need of sealing at the bottom . It turn out to be more complicated than expected, but Phil persisted until the problems were solved and he and I were very pleased. He has done other jobs for us including installing motion sensor lights in the back and front yards, repairing other electrical switches, tile grouting. Any time we have a "handyman" type of job, Phil is the first one we call. He is coming tomorrow to install a new range fan. Phil is very professional in everything he does. Pleasant to be around. Dedicated to doing any and all jobs correctly.
