Bijan was great to work with. He gave us an estimate about $100 less than other estimates we got, and he did great work. He also rearranged other work to be able to accommodate our schedule.
Description of Work: Replaced a broken shelf and two hanging rods in a closet. Cost included materials and Bijan painted the shelf and rods for us as well.

Bijan was great. He was timely and fair. He also did great work and did not leave any mess. I would definitely use him for anything that comes up. I have also given his name to friends and neighbors.
Description of Work: He fixed an old door knob. He fixed the lighting in the bathroom ceiling and repaired and painted water damage on the ceiling. He also sanded the rust out of a bathroom cabinet and painted it.

We have had several previous successful experiences with Bijan, both at our home and at my mother's, and I knew the best way to contact him and arrange for service. After several emails, he arranged to stop by the house Saturday morning, March 27, to examine our punchlist. He arrived on time, spent a few minutes going over our needs, and promised to reply with an estimate and a schedule via email. Sunday morning, he responded with his estimate, which for the amount of work seemed quite fair, and which included providing parts from the home center, a true time and effort saver for me. As arranged, he arrived Monday morning at the appointed time, let himself in with the key we provided, and proceeded to complete all of the tasks as itemized above. He left a detailed bill, as well as the discarded parts he had replaced. The work was done as specified, neatly, on time and exactly per the quote. Once again, we are most pleased with Bijan's service, and while we hope we don't have need of his services soon, we would call on him again instantly.
Description of Work: Snaked out slow running drains in both bathrooms; replaced tricky halogen puck lamp under kitchen counter; replaced three exterior compact fluorescent bulbs, including one requiring a 20-foot-plus ladder; replaced a lockset in the front entry door; adjusted a badly hung screen door; tightened loose toilet seats in both baths; corrected wiring of a GFI protected light switch-outlet in a bathroom.

Bijan was responsive to my initial query. He was punctual and up front in terms of what he could and couldn't do. For example, I needed some repair on my wood floor and he recommended a specialist. He was very detail oriented and had a good idea regarding repairing my wallpaper to make it blend in better. He was efficient, clean, and hard working. The job was completed as promised with the price that was quoted to me. I was very impressed at the quality of his work and overall professionalism.
Description of Work: I had a few odds and ends jobs including some interior painting and wallpaper repair, storm windows to be hung on second floor of house.

The handyman was good. He came out to have a look at the place and then gave a quote. I felt it was expensive, but there was a lot of work that had to be done. He came prepared and worked hard when he was here. So, I thought it was decent value. He took a while to come out, as he was busy.
Description of Work: I used the services of Bijan Solutions Handyman Service about a year ago for some minor work and for boarding up a basement window.

I didn't get the work done. He appeared ill suited for the job.
Description of Work: I called Bijan and he rescheduled 4 times. When he finally did cometo give me an estimate for tiling, it was clear he didn't know what he was talking about. Do not use him to tile, maybe good at something else.

Response from Bijan Solutions Handyman Service
The member contacted me in the middle of the work week (Wednesday night) I told her I could meet her about 7:00 7:30 p.m. and she called me back and said that was too late during the week. On the same phone call we set our appointment up for Saturday a.m. I was on time for our Saturday a.m. appointment. She bought an over the counter oversized granite countertop which needed to be cut on both sides and with a oversized backsplash which needed to be cut also. I told her on the spot that I don't have equipment to cut granite. I told her she really needed to consult with someone that does that type of work everyday. She then took me to the kitchen where she wanted to put 12" x12" granite tiles on an existing laminate countertop. I told her I could do it but because of the size & shape of the countertop the tiles would not look right. She then wanted to put these tiles on a diagonal for a backsplash. I told her they would not fit and they didn't. We then went to the master bathroom. She wanted to put 12"x12" tiles on top of the laminate countertop. Because of the curves the person doing the job would need a polisher to polish the cuts on the curves. Without being polished the job would not look right. I was honest with her after much consideration--I sent her an email the next day and said this was not a job that I could help her with. I could have been dishonest took her money and give her a crummy job but I pride myself on my work. I believe that is why a great deal of my business is from repeat customers.

It was an excellent experience. Bijan not only did what we expected, he went beyond, for example, recommending a solution to one problem that we were prepared to just live with.
Description of Work: A variety of handyman services involving carpentry, including some challenging things like getting old doors to fit.

He was prompt, polite, and extremely reasonable. Being a single woman, I felt completely comfortable with him in my house. I have recommended him to several people because it is so hard to find someone who will do little things around the house.

He originally quoted me $800 to get the door soffit and window areas painted, but charged me $1,000 in the end. He didn't even do all of the painting that was required, and we really got into an argument over that. As far as the windows go, Bijan doesn't even do windows, he subcontracts the work out. I wanted the storm windows in before the painting was done because a couple of them were rusted out. It took the window company a month to get here, it was October before they got here.
Description of Work: I got a quote from Bijan on Aug. 26th. He was going to install floodlights in the back and replace the light switches by the front door. He also quoted me on the front door soffit area to be scraped and painted, 3 side windows to be scraped, painted and primed, the front window sash to be cut off and replaced, and he was going to replace 3 storm windows with new ones. Some of his prices were outrageous, but some were ok.

I KEEP ALL EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MYSELF AND CLIENTS. THIS INSURES THAT ALL WORK THAT IS TO BE DONE IS UNDERSTOOD BETWEEN MYSELF AND CLIENT BEFORE I START. ON 8/26 ORIGINALLY I QUOTED HER ON INSTALLATION OF FLOOD LIGHTS, FRONT SCREEN DOOR SCREEN AND PUMP TO BE REPLACED. FRONT SOFFIT AREA AND FASCIA BOARD & 3 WINDOWS TO BE SCRAPED AND PAINTED. FRONT WINDOW ROTTEN SASH TO BE CUT OFF AND DRAIN BY HER BASEMENT TO BE CLEANED. I NEVER INSTALLED HER LIGHTS BECAUSE SHE NEVER PURCHASED THE REPLACEMENT LIGHTS SHE WANTED. I DID SCRAPE THE FRONT FASCIA BOARD, REPLACE SOME ROTTEN BOARDS AND SCRAPED AND PAINTED 3 WINDOWS. SHE THEN WANTED THE WHOLE TOWNHOUSE SOFFIT AREA AND 5 MORE WINDOWS DONE. I QUOTED HER ON THE ADDITIONAL WORK AND ON 9/22 VIA EMAIL SHE SAID THAT WAS OK. I WENT AHEAD AND DID THE WORK. THE SCRAPING AND PAINTING JOB COST $1,150. I CUT OFF PART OF THE SASH THAT WAS ROTTEN FOR THE FRONT WINDOW. I DISCOVERED CARPENTER ANTS. I TOLD HER SHE NEEDED TO HIRE AN EXTERMINATOR AND REALLY HAVE THE WINDOW REPLACED. I CAULKED WHERE I CUT AND PATCHED THE WINDOW FOR FREE. I WAS GOING TO REPLACE 3 STORM WINDOWS FOR HER BUT SHE NEVER CHOOSE THE STYLE OF THE STORM WINDOW. I COULD NOT COMPLETE THIS WORK BECAUSE SHE NEVER MADE THE DECISION ON THE WINDOW. I CLEANED THE VERTICAL PART OF HER DRAIN BUT I TOLD HER IT NEEDED TO BE RODDED. SHE SAID THAT SHE WANTED TO HIRE A COMPANY THAT JUST RODDED DRAINS. I DID NOT CHARGE HER FOR MY TIME THAT I PUT ON HER DRAIN. I DO NOT SUBCONTRACT ANY WORK. SINCE SHE NEEDED NEW WINDOWS I GAVE HER A NUMBER OF SOMEONE THAT DOES WINDOWS. SHE SAID THAT SHE HAD APPOINTMENTS WITH PELLA AND THEY SHOULD BE COMING OUT. HER WAITING FOR THE WINDOW PEOPLE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ME. WE NEVER ARGUED. SHE HAD QUESTIONS I ANSWERED THEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT FOR SOMEONE THAT HASN'T HAD WORK DONE ON HER HOME FOR A LONG TIME MY PRICES SEEMED HIGH TO HER. SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO USE ME. WHEN SHE WROTE THE CHECK SHE WAS HAPPY WITH THE WORK. I THOUGHT SHE WAS HAPPY SINCE I DID QUITE A BIT OF WORK FOR FREE. I CAN FORWARD ALL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MYSELF AND HER WHERE SHE SEEMED MORE THAN HAPPY, IF NEEDED.

He is very honest and the price was just great. His responsiveness was just great. He provided an estimate first with no cost to me. He is an honest to goodness handyman- he has a number of things that he does well. After he did them, I didn't have any problems. His follow-up is great. His quote was accurate and the billing was clear. Also, everything was done in a very timely manner.
Description of Work: We had some small home repair issues that he solved. I had a laundry list of things to get done. He replaced some outdoor light fixtures, installed a ceiling fan, did some grouting, and completed other repairs around the house.

He brought an associate with him and he did most of the work. Bijan did all of the measuring and was so precise. Bijan was the lead on the job. They made sure that they always spoke with me first on any aspect of the job. I feel that his costs are always reasonable. He is always pleasant to work with.

Bijan promptly responded to my email requesting a bid and provided a detailed bid for the labor, plus whatever parts I added (marble tile, toilet, etc). He began work within 2 weeks of the bid. His attention to detail was tremendous. His suggestions were all super as well. The final product, a completely redone and beautiful bathroom, all for under $3500 (including cost of new toilet, vanity, marble tiles, molding and paint)!!!!! Even though I made the job more complicated than he originally anticipated, he did not charge me one cent more for his labor than his original bid. I have attached some pictures of the finished product. I wish I had "before" pictures so you could truly appreciate the work he did.
Description of Work: Bijan remodeled a flood-damaged, small, full bathroom, including: repairing damaged drywall, re-grouting shower wall (to fix leak problem), stripping existing floor tile and laying a new marble tile floor, replacing vanity and toilet, painting walls and ceiling, and replacing floor molding.

A fifteen foot wide, eight foot high curved bay window at my mother's home was in bad repair, but we're not in a position to replace it until spring (probably a mid-five-figures proposition). But we did need to protect the window from further damage during the upcoming winter months. I contacted Bijan via email after finding his very high rating on Angie's List, explaining the issue and asking him to call to meet me at my mother's. He came when he said he would, on a Saturday afternoon, discussed our ideas about what to do, measured the job and promised a quote via email. Middle of the next week he did send his quote, and we arranged to have him do the work the following Monday morning. He came when promised, with a helper, and within the hour had efficiently and neatly sealed the window, inside and outside, with construction grade plastic sheeting.
Description of Work: A damaged bay window was sealed with plastic sheeting so as to protect it for the winter.
