P's Handyman Services Inc

He is knowledgeable in construction. I have just retired after 32 years of service in the fire service. I have watched all these guys work in construction. He is a guy to go to if you need solutions to complications. That is his strong point. For handy man services he is expensive too. If I had somebody who is older with no arthritis but could move around I would have hired him to do minor stuff like hang some pictures on walls. For small jobs he is over qualified and expensive for small jobs. For big jobs he is fine. If your floor is collapsing due to structural integrity he is the guy to call. He is not the guy to call for a toilet paper holder. If I get some complicated repair I would call him in the future.

No return call and nothing accomplished

Pier and I have worked together in the past, and while there is a premium associated with going with an experienced contractor vs. a lower grade handyman, the piece of mind to ensure a job well done is worth the cost. The project started about a month prior to the construction start date of 4/18, with an initial walk thru and the sharing of ideas. After a month of rain spoiling our start date, we began the initial demo prep only to find that the sub-surface conditions were worse than anticipated. Pier and his associate Greg quickly devised a plan to work thru the problems, and purchased the appropriate materials/ supplies to really expedite the process. In all, the project took about 3 1/2 days, including final touch-ups, and the stair will be around for a very long time. Thanks Pier

Pier did an excellent job. He completed the work and took the time, effort and energy to ensure that he treated our house just like it was his own. We've already identified additional projects for the house that we'd like Pier to take care of. We look forward to hiring Pier again.

Pier and his team was great! He quickly quoted various small projects around the house. One by one we have been checking them off this list. Most projects have been right on budget and all of them have been completed with the upmost quality. I would absoluty recommend Pier for a wide range of construction projects around the house.

It went very smoothly from the original estimate to the completion of the job. Pier is very knowledgeable about these types of jobs as well as almost all home repair related issues. We were very happy with the results of his work.

He is great. I would definitely have him back for other work. He is very knowledgeable. He is easy to work with. He gives suggestions on improving things. He is really nice guy to work with. I would use him in the future.

Pier's work was outstanding. He actually installed a faucet with an on/off lever instead of the typical valve type. I had no idea there was such a thing, he was so thoughtful. This will be so much easier for me to operate. We had another estimate from about 6 months ago and Pier's pricing was right in line with that estimate. I had a great report and saw some work he did from a friend who lives in our mobile home park so I decided to go with Pier. He and his assistant got the faucets installed a week before he had anticipated being able to do the work. It only took 2 days and the work is superb. I can't wait for Pier to do my next project on a long "to do" list.

All went excellently. Pier was able to come out, measure the openings, and order the gates immediately. Once they arrived, he was able to come right out and work on the demo and install. Any issues that were identified, such as the house wall being crooked, were quickly dealt with and the job was promptly completed.

Hired Pier to do a fairly short list of items, which he priced out for me before starting. He showed up as scheduled, but my heart sank when he arrived with Claudio, his brother-in-law, whom, I was told, was going to do the actual work. My first thought was HERE WE GO AGAIN! ANOTHER GUY WHO GETS THE JOB, THEN IMMEDIATELY HANDS IT OFF TO SOMEONE ELSE! I asked Pier about it, and he assured me that Claudio was an excellent carpenter. Less than an hour into the first project, I could see that he was indeed excellent. He was also smart, clean and a joy to have around. I felt confident enough to add more projects to my list, which Claudio did beautifully. HOWEVER, my BIG mistake was not getting prices for all the things I was adding. So, after three days, when I got the bill for $3,005.00, I was shocked. This worked out to well over 100.00 an hour! As I had supplied most of the materials, this was mostly just for labor. Even the best carpenters I've hired in the last twelve months charged 45.00 an hour. I called Pier, quite angry, and he came over so we could discuss it. He explained that he (and Claudio) were the best, and that the best is expensive. And, because I just had Claudio do the added projects without discussing price, I really had no choice but to pay. Now, to Pier's credit, he knocked off 500.00 from the bill, which took some of the sting away. Bottom line: P's Handyman Service does top-notch work, but it's EXPENSIVE.

We own a condo in a beautiful Spanish-style building built in 1928. Because of plumbing issues with the neighbor above us, there was a gaping hole in the ceiling of our bathroom where her contractors had to knock out in order to repair her pipes. Due to the water damage, 2/3rds of our ceiling (basically the circumference of her bathtub) had to be pulled out and the drywall repaired and painted. When Pier arrived to begin the work, he had the upstairs neighbor run her water for a 5 min. continuum to ensure there was no further leakage before he patched everything up. As he is very thorough, he also noticed that the walls surrounding our tub (from the ceiling until the point of tiling begins) was also completely destroyed due to the water damage. He also pulled that out and repaired it. He then repainted our whole room with the color/selection of our choice. We have an old fashioned tub that requires an "L" shaped shower rod. The rod we had was old and sagged in the middle. Pier installed a new one. Looks great! The last thing he set his sights on was the bath tub faucet which would continue to gush water when the shower head was engaged. This led to new fixtures and the not-so-shocking discovery of out-of-date, unserviceable plumbing (i.e., valves) in some of the communal areas of the complex. Of course, what ensued after this uncovering was an ugly affair involving the HOA and a few neighbors. Through it all ? all the hiccups that kept him here longer than he expected and all the meanness and lack of cooperation from our neighbor ? Pier was polite, friendly and completely honest and forthcoming with information we needed. The work he did was impeccable. He made sure the work was done RIGHT. We really appreciated his attention to detail. Pier receives our highest praise and recommendation. He's the best!

We have used Pier last October to install all new windows in our home and he did an excellent job that time. Prior to that, we had used him many times, always with excellent results. He removed the old vinyl tile floor, installed ceramic tile, and replaced an old exterior door with a new fiberglass one. Pier made several excellent suggestions about where to buy the tile (ended up saving us $350 in materials cost) and what type of door to buy (one with a window that lets in lots of natural light to the hallway which previously was very dark). He was on time, worked with my wife's schedule to move the washer and dryer temporarily, and even fixed the dryer vent when he noticed that it was clogged with lint. We couldn't be happier, and plan to have him come next week to paint the hallway. The attention to detail that he brings to a job is just fantastic.

I couldn't be more pleased. Great work and will use and recommend him from here on out. I had some other repairs that needed done and Pierre took care of them that day. Just amazing to have such great care and willingness to take care of his client. I won't have to shop for this type of contractor again. Thanks. I used him because of great reports on Angies list and so glad I did. I add to it.

Pier is the best. This is the second time he has done work for me and as before, all services were done expertly and with care. I am set to use him for other jobs on my never-ending to-do list.

Pier is the most responsive handyman I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. This was a small job, but he treated it as though it was his only job. After inspecting the area in which we wanted the cabinet installed, he assured us that it would not be a problem. In fact, he said that, "When I am done, you won't even know I was here." True to his promise, the only evidence that he was here is the installed cabinet!

Pier came out on Monday, looked over the job, and gave us a bid. He called back Monday night to say he could do the job starting on Tuesday. He came on Tuesday morning and started the job. On Thursday, he wrapped up the job. The gutters work great. He called the night of our first rain after the installation, I went outside to check and everything was working great. The water barrel completely filled with that first couple of rains. Pier always does a complete and professional job.

He was professional, but, too expensive. He was punctual for the quote process and emailed me the quote. I did not use his services only because of the price and advised him, that, I used someone else for the job as they were reasonable. I may not use his services in the future again.

He did a very fine job and the neighbor was quite happy with the work he did for them. That incident was about $700 and the work he did around here was about $800. We saw him in the newsletter because he was featured, and I highly recommend him. The price was pretty reasonable.

The work performed was of the utmost quality. We were amazed at the attention Pier paid to the smallest detail. A first class job was done from start to finish. We are extremely satisfied and will definitely use him again.

On time, perfectionist when it came to his work. His helper was very polite and respectful. Both worked at a good pace, and did not hurry to get done. They did professional work and were also personable. They did a great job on adding wood transition pieces to the wood flooring already in place. Tile work was high quality. Pier called my husband the next day to see if we were happy and if there was anything he needed to come back and do better.

The job was done right and professionally. I was very satisfied.

Pier was very responsive to my initial phone call and did not hesitate to answer any and all of my questions. Within several days, he had provided a written estimate,and several days later he was at my home ready to work. Pier was involved in all of the work - didn't just send in a team, he does the work himself; how refreshing! Any necessary furniture was moved, and any potentially exposed surfaces were covered. The work was done very well and timely. He cleaned up any mess and left my home in great shape. Not only is the quality of his work good, but it's obvious you can trust him. I do think he is expensive, and I did have another quote for less from another service, but if you take a few minutes to read the reviews on Angie's List for P's Handyman Service (which is Pier), you won't be wanting to call anyone else. Quality and respect - that's what you get from Pier.

My experience with Pier was very good. He provided a written estimate and was able to complete the work requested in a timely fashion. I would highly reccomend Pier.

Very well. some of the work we had Pier do required legit carpentry and contracting skills (which he did well), some of it was just silly little tasks that we never seemed to get around to. Nice to be able to go one place to get all these things done, and done well. Pier was not the cheapest person we talked to, but his professionalism and approach won the day, money well spent. Definitely good value for the $$. Also very nice and easy to work with, continually asking for feedback regarding the quality of the job and our satisfaction. Very pleased with job, would hire again.

We have used Pier for several smaller projects in the past, and due to his always-excellent performance, we asked him to undertake this much more extensive job. He was on time with his crew and did the work to perfection. We opted to replace the windows in our house with Milgard energy-efficient windows due to the rebate from the Government and an additional rebate from the manufacturer. Instead of the more common (and less costly) option of windows that fit in the existing frames, we opted (at Pier's recommendation) to do a complete "nail in" or construction windows. This necessitated cutting the stucco about a foot around the existing windows, taking out the old windows and casings, installing the new windows, installing flashing and weatherproofing, and re-applying the stucco. Pier told us that when he was done, it would never appear that any construction had been done. He was right! He matched the stucco and the paint perfectly, and the interior woodwork and casing were beautiful as well. I can't say enough about his ability, attention to detail, and willingness to make every detail right. We are very satisfied and will continue to use him again.
