Local Door Repair and Installation Services in Sherman Oaks, California

The gentleman performing the job came on time, in fact he was early. He was extremely polite and courteous throughout the job. I was very impressed. He finished the service ahead of schedule and did another project for me while he was here. Everything turned out great so far. I really won't know how well the job was done until we start to get some rain again. The only issue was that it was a bit pricey. They did tell me ahead of time though, which I appreciated.

He was great. He was local. He was very friendly and very accommodating. He had a lot of knowledge. The price was pretty standard.

I have already made an appointment for additional work and have approximate costs for two additional jobs.

We needed to fix problems with bathroom/kitchen remodels and new lighting jobs that were done by the prior owner of our condo, where we have no contact with the original contractor (who was certainly not licensed, and probably not even legitimate). We needed a licensed and insured contractor to get involved so we could get permits and city inspections to make sure everything is safe and legal in our condo. General contractors turned up their noses at us. "Job's too small," they said. Other handymen we contacted came and looked at the job, and even charged us for the visit, but said things like, "I can't get this past inspection!" When Gil from Mr. Handyman showed up, he had a positive attitude, and was willing to go through the permitting and inspection process and have Mr. Handyman become the contractor of record. The man that did the bulk of the work was Daniel, a really cool guy and hard worker. Within a short time, we had all of the many code violations fixed, our kitchen and living room are brighter than before (with dimmers) and not liable to start a fire, and our water heater and plumbing are safer. Throughout the process, Gil and Daniel: 1. Were punctual, polite, and professional. They cleaned up every mess. Gil responded promptly to all communications, and was never late for an appointment at the city building office or at my home. 2. Showed tremendous integrity. Open and upfront about pricing, and billed me only what I agreed to, or less. Daniel worked quickly even though they charge hourly. When there was any kind of problem with the work and I pointed it out, every single time Gil's and Daniel's approach demonstrated a clear and honest desire to fix it. Not once did they even hint at some kind of excuse as some workers do whose goal is to check off a task, get paid, and move on. Every time it was "You're right, I'll fix it." These guys wanted it done right as if this were their own home, they fixed it promptly, and deducted any extra time from the bill; I didn't even have to ask. For tasks that included too many unknowns, their first estimate was only for the time to tear apart what they needed to come up with a plan, and then they explained in great detail the challenges faced with what was found (this is an old building), what the options were, and the costs for each. 3. Demonstrated a high level of skill. Two light fixtures had been installed so badly (by the previous owners) they were about to fall out. I tried fixing it myself, and it looked like the whole mounting assembly would have to be ripped from the wall and reinstalled. Any other contractor could have told me that and charged me a bundle, and I would have been suckered. But, in about a half hour, Daniel had them both secured like they should have been from the beginning, without replacing any hardware. And there's the integrity again. The city inspectors complimented their work as well. I might have paid less if I did this under the radar, but, given how hard they worked to come under their estimates and their reasonable hourly fees, that may not even be the case. And, when you consider their qualifications for me to have all this work properly permitted as I required, Mr. Handyman clearly gave me the best value for my investments. Gil's and Daniel's integrity and skill bring great credit to the local Mr. Handyman franchise, the larger corporation, and the contractor industry itself. Some other Yelpers griped about it being about $300 for them to come to fix a small thing. Keep in mind, this isn't Joe the handyman with his pickup truck and dented red toolbox. They're sort of between what we think of as a handyman and a full-fledged general contractor. General contractors won't do one-off tasks like this, and an ordinary handyman typically isn't licensed. So, if you need permitted work with a licensed contractor and don't meet the minimum for general contractors in the area, Mr. Handyman is a no-brainer. And, if I'm ever taking bids for a larger job (remodel from scratch, addition, etc.), I'm certainly going to call them.

Marcus did an amazing job!
