I'm Koby Grimes and I've been doing Remodels and Handyman Services in Riverside County since 2008.
My mission is to provide high-quality construction services, all my work has a 1 year warranty, and some projects have a lifetime warranty.
I started this business because I love building, creating, and fixing things. Thats why Koby Grimes Construction is my current life journey.
In a word, "terrible"! Koby had done a couple of small jobs previously, and they were fine, however, when we presented him with fixing a leak in our portico roof, it was a total disaster. The first time he tried to fix it, he was up there an hour or two and when finished he stated that after he "sealed" a piece of metal in place, it shouldn't leak again - even though drops of water were still coming out of the roof right after he "fixed" the issue. He stated that the water I was seeing was water that was in the roof before he sealed it, but that we shouldn't be seeing another leak again. A few days later, we had a day or two of significant rain, and the roof leaked just like it had before it was "fixed" - it was like there had been no improvement in the least. When I contacted Koby about this, he came out to take a look and told me what he would try the next time he was able to do the job. I was shocked that he charged us over $200.00 just to come out and inspect a job that he did not do correctly the first time. We ended up rescheduling further work, and although he kept saying he could fix the issue, he seemed uneasy about it, and he told me that he was "warned" by someone he consulted with, not to do the job. Why, I don't know. So, I know he was uneasy about doing the job, but he kept saying he could fix it, so I trusted him. On the morning he was scheduled to be at my home to do the work, he contacted me to say that one of his truck tires was making a noise and he was taking it in to be looked at - saying later that the garage told him it was wheel bearings, and that he had to cancel the job until his truck was fixed. That was over two weeks ago. When I contacted him today he stated that his truck still hadn't been fixed and he didn't know when it would be. I asked him what type of truck he needed to do the job. He told me and I then asked him if it was possible to rent a truck, at my expense, just to get this job done (we have been waiting over a month now from the first time I called him). He said that, yes, it would be possible to rent a truck, but transferring the tools between trucks would be a "hassle" and not part of his "routine." So, after waiting over a month to get a job completed, that was not done correctly the first time, and offering a workable solution (that Koby rejected) in order to complete the job, I have decided to move on to someone who is dependable and trustworthy. I do not recommend using Koby Grimes for your home repair needs.

Response from Koby Grimes Construction
January 6th at 9:17 AM I texted [Member Name Removed] to let him know my truck had broken down on the freeway, my appointment with him was at 930am. It has been about 2 weeks and my truck is still in pieces waiting to be fixed. I kept [Member Name Removed] updated on my situation but he's convinced I'm lying to him to escape his job, which I was looking forward to doing for him. After I apologized several times he sent me a string of nasty text messages where he lost his temper and attacked me. saying several awful things, and then told me to never contact him again. I did not respond to him after this. His original review for me was sterling 5 stars and he was very pleased and happy with my work, he invited me back to work on his house several times, all of which went very well because I am professional, clean cut, honest, and my work is top notch. My reviews are all 5 stars for a reason, I do not believe I deserve this. Here is [Member Name Removed]'s original 5 star review for me: -Koby Grimes was the first to respond to my request for help and I'm so glad he was. He called soon after I entered my request and asked for a description of the problem and some pics if possible. He had limited availability that day but made it out the same day I made the request. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the issue that was creating the leak in my portico roof, and huge relief for me! I was so impressed with his work, demeanor, and skill, that I asked him about a few more jobs I needed completed around the house. He told me what would be required for each job and was very informative. I highly recommend Koby Grimes for any job you need around the house.

I had an emergency due to a previous Angi “pro” that had been assigned to my service request breaking some pipes and causing a leak and then leaving me with no running water. I called Koby and explained my situation, thankfully he got the sense of urgency and was at my home within the hour. He explained all the damages caused by the pervious “pro” and what my options were to repair including costs and timeline. He reassured me he would be able to fix the damages so that I could get my water back on that day. He then got to work immediately. He is very knowledgeable and professional. His work was all done efficiently and effectively. He definitely went above and beyond the task at hand and would strongly recommend his services.

Excellent work. I recently had surgery and needed some repairs done on various parts of the house. Koby was great and very knowledgeable. Great attitude and the work completed was actually done correctly, efficiently, and even gave me a few tips on future concerns. Very pleasant experience. Highly suggest using his service.

I was referred to Koby by my mechanic who claimed he can do most anything at a fair price. I needed a fence built for my back yard. I called Koby and he was the friendliest guy! Gave me a fair quote and kept his word! My fence Is flawless and I am more than happy with it. I am going to have him build me a custom bed frame next!

The overall experience from start to finish was a very short one, which is why I’m so happy. Koby came in on time, took care of my problems, and was on his way. Quick, clean, and on time; a quality this business owner appreciates. Thanks again Koby!

Koby did a great job for me! He was punctual which was a plus from the start, as he didn't waste my time waiting for him to show up. He is very tall, so it really aided him while he was doing this work. He was quick & he cleaned up after himself, which was another great selling point for him. YES I would recommend him to anyone looking for someone to do odd jobs around their house. Susan Shultz
