    I am experienced in most of the trades except concrete work and landscaping. I am not a licensed contractor, but a handyman, therefor I specialize in small jobs. I can't do everything in the world nor do I have magical powers to figure out everything. Some things are beyond my abilities, but if I take your job I will work diligently to ensure your satisfaction. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your problem to determine if I feel that I am the right man for the job.

      I called John as I have a very old home and my back door no longer closed due to the house settling. I was a little worried that I would need a new door since it is metal, but John was able to fix the door and now it shuts! He was very fast and a very reasonable price! I will definitely call him the next time I need something fixed!

      My door shuts!!!

      John crushed it. Needed a bidet installed and he did it in less than 15 minutes. Works like a charm. Plumbers were gonna charge me $250 or more: John did it for only $100 (his baseline for a home visit). I'd call on him again!

      Ken was responsive from beginning to end, transparent about cost and installation, and very easy to work with! He made the process of fixing a broken shower door hinge so quick and easy. Highly recommend!

      John David and his partner Francisco are fantastic!

      My bathtub faucet was leaking. I called a handyman and he said was unable to fix it that I needed to call a plumber. I got quotes from a couple of plumbers that said they needed to open the wall and remove and replace the showerhead and faucet and that after they finish their work I needed to call a handyman to replace the removed tiles. The quotes were high for my budget so I had no choice but to wait and start saving money. After a while, one morning I remember John David, the handyman that I once had him look into installing a microwave - and I decided to give him a call. John David responded promptly, ask me to send him some photos, and was able to give me reasonable (and affordable) estimate. He came that same afternoon and fix the bathtub faucet in less than one hour- no need to remove tiles or replace the showerhead and faucet! Thank you John David and Francisco! You are trustworthy, skillful, and affordable! You will be my first to go person from now on. I trust that if you say you can do the job you will do an excellent job at a reasonable cost.

      Amazing work! Quick response and professional communication. Came out to fix our shower door. Resulted in having to fix a prior repair that was done wrong. Shower doors are operating as if they were brand new! 10/10 service. I 100% recommend.
