How refreshing it is to find a handyman who is skilled, friendly, knowledgeable--and honest! Alan was prompt, friendly, wore a mask, and explained what he was doing as he replaced my two showerheads. I asked if he had time to change my under-counter water filter while he was here. After taking a look, he immediately figured out how to do it and proceeded to change it. He made doubly sure there would be no leaks in my shower head by using both tape and glue. He rechecked everything. He wasted no time. Since he seemed to know so much, I asked him about a problem I had with my bathroom lights. He was happy to check it out and recommended a way to fix it when I was ready. When he finished, I was impressed. I quickly wrote a him a check. However, he told me that it was more than he asked for and returned a portion to me! Wow! How often does that occur? He has my business from now on! I am recommending him to all of my friends and neighbors!

is very good at his business however working for him proved to be futile. Instead of telling me the real reason he said I had three complaints none of which were true and let me go without any evidence or proof.i just wish he wasn't so double minded in his actions

I had reached out to A-Z Handyman as my front door had broken hinges and was scraping on the threshold and making an awful metal-on-metal sound every time I closed the door. Joe got back to me and let me know that he was recovering from a surgery at the moment, but that it was an easy fix. He offered to facetime with me and talked me through what I needed to buy and do to fix it, and even offered to let me use his tools to do so. I did not want to inconvenience Joe while he was recovering, but the offer speaks to his integrity and generosity. I ended up finding a friend with the tools that were needed, buying the hardware at Home Depot, and my friend and I were able to complete the fix ourselves thanks to Joe. My door now opens and closes perfectly after replacing the hinges and installing new strike plates. Thank you Joe!! I would not hesitate to contact Joe in the future for any handyman needs, and highly recommend him to everyone else for his honesty, integrity, and expertise. (For additional context - I had reached out to additional handymen for quotes, and none of them knew what to do like Joe did. Some told me I needed to reach out to someone else because they couldn't fix it, and some were so off in their recommendation after I spoke with Joe that I didn't trust them to do the fix.)

Really appreciate the diligent and thorough execution on three separate projects at my home (a huge ceiling patch of over ten feet in the master bedroom, completely repairing a ceiling gap in the downstairs room which was a scar from an old plumbing job, and one major repair of damage around and under of the frame of a set of French doors). There was considerable dry rot on the Door frame and there had been seepage into our downstairs room -- and A-Z was able to troubleshoot and repair in just a couple hours' time. And further beyond the scope of work, A-Z advised on several other issues around the home that could mitigate future damage. This is immensely helpful and will help my family plan and budget for the required upkeep on our home If anyone ever wishes for a recommendation for a great partner to get work done at your residence, I highly recommend using A-Z Handyman Services. Please do not hesitate to ask for their assistance and calm them! Mike Andrews, San Mateo CA

AVOID ERIC OLSEN as a door installer or locksmith. That being said, this review is for the stellar customer service from Joe, the owner of A-Z. He is so incredibly professional and old school. I explained to him the interaction I had with Eric Olsen and he immediately understood that it was completely out of line and removed him from his vendor list. I thanked Eric via text and said we would be moving forward with someone else and unprofessionally replies with "great." Such a pitiful excuse of work ethic displayed and it must be far easier when it's not HIS name on the yelp site. Only a coward hides behind another man, and only an integrity lacking coward jeopardizes another mans livelihood by not having to answer for it. I'll keep my eye out for you Eric..if and when you post a business I will be the first one there to speak on your actions. **please note this review was from 2019 and typically it's removed when the offender "suddenly realizes" their ways and begs yelp to remove their name; so I wanted to re-add it to remind people like this that the internet makes the world a very small place :)**

Our dog scratched the door frame of our garage door. Just posted an ad on Yelp and Joe messaged me right away. They did a great job in fixing our door frame. They are also very nice people.

This past weekend the latch on my patio door failed. I text A-Z Handyman to set up an appointment to fix the problem. Before making an appointment he gave a number of suggestions to fix the problem on my own. After spend a great deal of time with me, texting back and forth, I was able to come up with a solution for the latch. I can not express my appreciation enough for the great customer service he provided me on my issue. Should I have a need in the future that is beyond my skill set, I will not hesitate a second to contact A-Z Handyman.

I have to say off the bat that communication was one of Joe's strong points. From the time we discussed my fairly small project to the very end, I knew everything about what was going on. He nicely prepped and repainted our front walkway which was in bad shape. He was even willing and patient to help me figure & source a few materials beforehand so he could complete the job. I appreciated his passion and commitment to his profession. In the end, he did quality work and i will ring him up for any other job I may have in the future. Keep it up Joe!!

Joe is the best handyman I know. He was able to fix my leaking bath tub spout and replace my bathroom sink faucet and handles at half the cost of a plumber. He is professional, friendly, and prompt. Joe has this never give up attitude till he fixes the problem. He lets you know what the problem is, what repairs need to be made and how he is going to fix it. He has a honest, hardworking, and positive attitude. I plan to use him again for future handyman work.

Joe is amazing! I have had horrible experiences with handyman in the past (not showing up, arriving late, not knowing how to correctly fix things, etc). Joe was by far the best. He verified the appointment, showed up early and did the job quickly. He knew what he was doing, has lots or experience and even let me know other thing he could fix that he saw around the house. I highly recommend him and will use him again.

Joe was easy to schedule and called to confirm the appointment the day before his visit. I asked Joe to finish a 9 square foot drywall repair that I had started. He efficiently dropped in twice, once in the morning to smooth the drywall into the existing drywall and again in the afternoon to sand and texture it. While waiting for the texture coat to dry, he patched and textured two more, hand-sized drywall repairs. He worked neatly and taped and guarded existing surfaces. He lived up to the bargain we made before he began the work. To save money, I'm doing the final painting. I recommend him highly and will call him in the future.

Joe is simply the best. He worked on fixing our deck today and installed custom steps. He helped me order the materials and picked them up in his truck beforehand. We love all the reinforcement work he did throughout our backyard. Super thrilled with the work and will be a repeat customer over and over.

Joseph was extremely helpful and overall I was very pleased with his customer service and support. We originally reached out for 2 bedroom door repairs that weren't closing completely as well as an outdoor faucet that was leaking. He repaired one of the doors as the other one wasn't needing a repair and he fixed the faucet by replacing it. Pros: - very responsive. He replied to my quote request rapidly and each communication after as well as we were trying to find an appointment slot. - very knowledgeable and instructional. He not only fixed the door but showed me the problem and what to do of the issue comes up again. - honest and polite. He could've tried to do something with the door that wasn't broken and then charged me for the time but did not. He was also kind to ask about other issues in the house and did not limit it to just what I asked for. - informative. He saw our vegetable plants and offered some gardening tips and suggestions - reasonable. He quoted one amount higher than he actually charged us for and was very fair. Cons: - None! In summary it was a joy working with Joseph and if we ever have the need for a handyman there is no doubt we'd call him back. In addition I'd highly recommend his services to someone in need of handyman work.

It was great working with Joe. He was open and honest about the repairs he was doing. He also made it clear on the things he could not repair and made recommendations on who else to call. He even provided tips on how I could fix things on my own if problems ever arose again. I would definitely recommend him to other people who need small jobs to be done. He even asked if I could help as it would help speed things up. He's great at doing small jobs and his schedule gets filled up fast so be sure to set something up in advance.

It was great working with Joe. My husband and I are not handy at all so it's nice to be able to find some close to help us with projects at our house. Joe repaired some holes we had in our wall from electrical work, installed a toilet and fixed our basement door. He works fast and efficient. Would definitely work with Joe again.
