We had an issue with mice coming into our garage area and needed a handyman to help seal off the bottom of the doors. It was a tricky project because the floor was not even underneath the doors, so you couldn't just apply a sweep. We contacted multiple handymen but only Aaron insisted on coming in and discussing potential solutions. This helped us make the right decision since we knew he cared about the outcome and not just winning the job by price.
We ended up having Aaron do a variety of tasks including installing deadbolts / smart locks on doors that didn't have any bolts before, adding thresholds and sealing all our lower floor doors, installing a towel rack into our shower and fixing weather stripping. This was all done at an agreed upon rate and we were very satisfied with his work, professionalism, pricing and timeliness.Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Susan T.San Francisco, CA942810Dec 3, 2015
I found ABC Maintenance by reading all the positive reviews on Yelp. We requested a quote from Aaron for replacing the corrugated panels on our roof because they were old, cracked and leaking! He replied quickly and was able to come out & look at what needed to be done, then give us his estimate. Because of his quick response, we didn't bother to get estimates from other handyman services.
The weather forecast was for rain on the day that we originally scheduled so Aaron called us the day before to reschedule. He kept us informed on the time he would arrive.
He came, looked over the problem areas and purchased the supplies he needed to complete the job. While working, it started sprinkling and he came to the door to let me know that it started to rain in case I wanted to put anything indoors so it wouldn't get wet. (How thoughtful!) He worked all day with no breaks until after sundown to complete the job! It was dark outside and he was still on the roof! Afterwards he cleaned up the area and took away the old panels.The new corrugated panels are stronger and it lets the sunlight comes through so the whole area brighter.
We also requested the names of painters from him for another job and he recommended two different companies.
After the job was completed, my husband was concerned about pine needles clogging up the drains on the roof, phoned Aaron and left him a message. Aaron was courteous enough to return the call and give him his professional opinion.
If you need maintenance and handyman services, ABC Maintenance should be your choice! Thank you Aaron, you did a great job!Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Alice L.San Francisco, CA2022212Oct 27, 2012
Summary: Aaron is a wizard. You will not regret hiring him for any kind of project, large or small. He'll get it done with superb integrity and style.
I am the lucky beneficiary of the superb work that Aaron does, from conjuring the perfect custom closet with lighting and shelves, to fixing shoddy rooftop drainage systems, touching up paint, putting in pet doors/equipment, and installing/trouble shooting a state-of-the-art entertainment system. The list goes on. Aaron has such a gift for both simple and complex creative solutions to everyday quandaries, not to mention a real eye for the aesthetics of a proposed project. Add integrity and a wonderful capacity to explain exactly what he's doing and why... really the whole package. I am really impressed by his skills and work ethic, and could not be happier with the results of his efforts.
I also appreciate how conscientious he is with cleaning up after every day so I can live in the house while he's working, sometimes for weeks at a time for more complex projects that involve knocking down walls. He's incredibly trustworthy and does a better job of locking up the house to keep out hooligans than I am, although I'll admit that this hooligan has had to climb through the pet door a few times to get back in the house. Bonus points for being great with the four dogs we have around the house.Helpful 6Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - m c.San Francisco, CA118Feb 24, 2009
A of ABC Maintenance always showed up on time, gave me a realistic estimate, and got on with the jobs. When he was finished, he tidied up and everything looked great. I never got the feeling he stalled or invented little side trips to pad the hourly charges. (Don't let me get me started on the plumber who messed up my whole 4th of July weekend!)
I don't enjoy naming the simple-for-other-people tasks that I find impossibly tedious because I am just so bad at them that they make me crazy, but I will. ABC did these jobs for me at various times over 6 months:
---assembling Ikea items
---hanging pictures straight
---hanging a shelf unit nice and level and straight
---designing and replacing defective legs to my crappy couch
---routing my dvd player, my vcr and my obsolete tv thru my HD converter boxes.
Don't waste your time on 6 hour windows when some flake may or may not show up to provide a service. ABC Maintenance is a reliable choice for all kinds of handyman tasks. Check it out.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Laura T.San Francisco, CA06Mar 22, 2020

As a single woman living in San Francisco, you don't have to look far to find someone to help you with tech support. But finding someone who can deliver tech support AND who has problem solving/fix it/mechanical abilities? Virtually non existent, until I came across ABC.
Mechanical reasoning of any kind is not really a strength for me, so I took for granted having had the privilege of partners in my life who were capable of doing things like put together my bookshelves and fixing doors and all that stuff. When I moved into my new place, I was single and faced with a variety of tasks that seemed insurmountable. Enter Aaron and his indispensable services.
Aaron helped me to set up my stereo system (including wifi and being able to play remotely from my laptop -cool!), properly hang a 70 lb mirror on my wall without fear that it would fall, fixing a door jam and a whole host of around the house tasks that generally make my life better, all at very reasonable rates and an honest and forthright assessment.
But most importantly, let's face it ladies (and gentlemen), in this day and age, there are alot of crazy peeps out there, and you just never know who you can trust (with your stuff and your personal safety). And as a woman, I'm particularly sensitive to being ripped off or having the wool pulled over my proverbial eyes. Aaron and ABC are straightforward, honest and they get the job done right. I'll definitely be using them again!Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kirk H.Thousand Oaks, CA214Feb 20, 2009First to Review
Although ABC Maintenance is capable of most every classic handyman service, their special value to me was their ability to solve unique or challenging assignments with an honest, cost-savings mentality just as one would do for themselves. In other words, they don't just "rip it out and start over" unless this is the best option all around.
In this sense, the owner Aaron is like a business partner that you can count on for doing those things which you might not be capable of doing yourself.
It is with complete confidence in his services which I write this review.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - carol s.San Francisco, CA1185Apr 12, 2017
Aaron Cohick got back to me within hours which I thought was great. He wasn't able to help me at this time because he has a backlog of work but he took the time to suggest reaching out to Cole Hardware for another recommendation. Great customer service!

Aaron was on time, easy to communicate with and seemed to care about the projects. He installed a cat door on the side of my house, which required some problem solving about where was the best place. He also did a few other small projects for me that afternoon. He was kind, smart, skilled and easy to work with. I called him based on Yelp reviews. I will hire him again.

Aaron was willing to accommodate my schedule which was hectic because I was moving into a home. He did excellent work while keeping me updated as to the steps of the work and progress. He gave a valuable service for a fair price. He let me feel comfortable while I stopped to check on his work. I recommend him and his work to family and friends.
