It is my pleasure to endorse him. read more

ARC Handyman Services - Danny mounted this guy for us ! - Handyman Near Me

Danny did a great job moving a ceiling fan for us. It was a much bigger job than originally expected because the old fan was hung on a support box for a light fixture. Danny's finish work was excellent. You can't even tell the fan was moved. Thanks!! read more

As a local Realtor of 17 years, finding a reliable and quality handy person ios always one of the hardest positions to refer and find. Not so this time around with Dan and ARC Handyman services. I almost didn't want to write this review so that he will be available more for all my future clients. Kristen was fantastic to communicate with, Dan was on time and went the extra mile. I have already called them for my next listing to get it all ready for the market at the end of this month. read more

Wow, I feel like I can say "ditto" to everything that has already been shared about Danny and Kirsten! We couldn't possibly be any happier with the plumbing results from posting the need the day prior, and Danny's responsivenss and completion of work the next day. Outstanding service provider, and wish we could sumbit a higher recommendation than five stars. Thank you, Danny and Kirsten! read more

Dan was clean, respectful of my space, patient and shared his knowledge--making sure I was satisfied and knew what was done, why, and empowered me to make any next steps necessary. I would absolutely recommend ARC to anyone looking to install a water filter, fix a leak, quiet a squeaky door, and more. Dan thinks on his feet, and solved every problem I presented him with in a timely manner. If you want something done and like to support your community, look no further. Thank you Dan & Kirsten! read more

Dan did a great job. He was personable, knowledgeable and efficient. Definitely would ask him to come work again.

My first contact was with Kirsten. She was friendly, gave comprehensive information on what to expect and scheduled me right away, giving me an estimate of time and price. Dan arrived with all the tools necessary to complete the assembly of a Murphy bed in 3 giant boxes. He figured it all out and then helped me install window curtain rods and do a few small repairs. All was swept up and boxes removed to our recycle. Excellent service and knowledge. I would recommend them. read more

I had a wonderful experience using ARC for my home improvement project. Dan arrived exactly on time, was courteous and professional, and did great work. He was friendly and collaborative as we brainstormed a solution to my issue (gutter repair and downspout replacement). Communication with Kirsten at the main office was a breeze and pricing was reasonable and transparent. I highly recommend Dan for your home improvement needs! read more

There aren't enough stars to rate Dan the Handyman! Dan is not only professionally knowledgeable but courteous and friendly. The job he came to do took much longer than expected, but he finished in good time once we had the correct parts! Dan is now on my speed dial as his expertise is vast and I don't need to call a separate plumber, electrician, painter, etc. read more

We originally called Danny at ARC Services for a simple light fixture issue we had. Once we realized he does *everything* we began to go down a list, including but not limited to.. our 7 & 9yr olds GoKart that hasn't been working for months. In less than 2 hours we had gone down a list of pending repairs and each was addressed and fixed in minutes. Professionals. Quality work and super cool and personable. Check my reviews, you'll see that I don't hand out 5 stars to everyone. Danny is our go-to guy now and we highly recommend him/them! read more

I recently moved into an oven. To take the edge off the heat, I reached out to ARC for help with applying window tinting to three windows in my vaulted ceiling living room. I couldn't imagine how to get the films up a ladder, onto a window, and stay out of the ICU. Danny came by, took it all in, developed a system, and set to quiet work. He was patient with me and the chaos of a house in boxes. My cat even liked him. My cat doesn't like anyone. There are more things that will need some work - I'll be using ARC Handyman when the time comes. read more

We just bought a house in Santa Barbara, but won't be moving until August 10th. In the interim, we needed someone to give us some advice about doggy doors and to install one before we move in--either to replace a glass door with a wooden door and install a doggy door in it, or to enlarge an electronic doggy door in a wall. Dan suggested that we enlarge the existing doggy door, and remove the motor and wiring, as we only want a simple doggy door, and said he could do it, in spite of the fact that it's an 8" thick wall with stucco on the outside. We were very happy about that, and I ordered a doggy door that will fit. But Dan went way beyond this request. He noticed that the previous owner had set up a kind of unstable landing and blocks to serve as stairs for their dog when it went through their small doggy door to the outside. Dan suggested that he build a permanent landing and steps out of redwood, which would be much safer, especially since one of our dogs weighs 71 pounds. We really appreciated that and look forward to having all of this done before we move in. But, on top of all of that, as Dan was walking through the house to get to the existing doggy door, he noticed a toilet continually flushing, wasting an enormous amount of water. He immediately called us, shut off the water, and we asked him to please fix the toilet, which he did, right away. What a relief, as we hate wasting water, especially in a drought, and in Santa Barbara, where water is so precious. We also wanted 2 gates installed on either side of the house, so our dogs wouldn't run out into the street. Dan advised us to have the gates installed by the fabricator, and said his very nice wife, Kirsten, said he could come by and watch to make sure the gates were installed correctly, with combination locks and self-closing latches. In the interim, since it will be October before those gates are installed, we were very happy that he could make us some temporary gates and have them up before our move. Finally, we somehow couldn't get the digital locks on the doors to the garage to work. Dan went over to the house, was able to set a new combination for us, and also provide us with the master passcode in case we want to add or change anything in the future. All of this is priceless, as we're overwhelmed with packing and moving after 33 years in our current house. It just takes an enormous burden of worry off of us, so that at least our dogs will be safe and sound in our new home, and we'll have full access to the garage. Thank you so much, Dan and Kirsten! We have a lot more work we need done to our new house, and we'll probably be asking for your help again and again! Husband here: although I ran a physical science lab for young people, I remain woefully low in fix-it skills. As is common with asymmetrically intelligent folks, I particularly respect those who can do that which I cannot. Dan is such a person. It is also wonderful that calm problem-solvers act as therapists for the rest of us. read more

I called ARC to come to my work for some maintenance on some office lights located on very high ceilings and some heavy furniture rearranging. Danny was on time, he was friendly and very professional. Handled these dangerous tasks quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend ARC to anyone in need of Handyman services. read more

Excellent work, very much appreciate the timeliness and attention to detail. I will definitely recommend and use again at my home.

Everything about this business is professional, helpful, and friendly. Kirsten's phone calls were efficient, but more than that they were warm and reassuring -- We needed advice about a flooding situation under our kitchen cabinets .. we were hoping that Danny could just replace the supports and repair the damaged materials. He carefully assessed the damages and suggested that the job probably called for extensive remodeling -- and that we should consult a cabinet maker. We were disappointed because we sensed right away that Danny was a person we would trust to do the job! We will most definitely contact ARC services again for jobs when they pop up -- which they seem to do frequently --. A great asset for the Carpinteria community! read more

We relocated to SB and were looking for someone to 'correct' the improvements in our rental. Danny took on our entire list of projects - from a complicated light installation to assembling/moving furniture. Danny was professional and willing to do whatever we needed. His work is high quality and worth waiting for. Kirsten was able to fit us into the schedule sooner when he had a cancellation - which was terrific. It's a relief to find someone whom we can trust to do a great job. Thank you!! read more

Kirsten was incredibly helpful with our last minute issue. She was so incredibly kind and caring on the phone. She wasn't sure she could fit us in (it was the end of the day) but called back and said Danny could be there ASAP. It was really incredible she remembered and made the call. Communicative and friendly and Danny fixed it right up. Highly recommend, wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you ARC! read more

The work was 1st class & Danny is the real deal. You can trust that the job will be done right the first time. I doubt you could find a job that he couldn't handle. My daughter & her husband just bought a house, and I will pass his info to them. And I scheduled the appointment with his wife Kirsten who is a real pleasure to talk with. read more

My review is of Danny himself. My girlfriend and I were moving out of a home on the Mesa with a very steep driveway. Our uhaul hitch got stuck in the asphalt as we backed down and reached the street. We tried everything we could to get traction but the tires just spun and burned. Danny was working down the street when I asked for his help. He stopped his job and helped us! Danny used a massive jack to lift the uhaul enough to dislodge it. I spaced and left the uhaul in reverse so when it got loose it barreled towards a parked car. Danny jumped in the driver seat and slammed on the emergency brake saving my girlfriend from getting crushed. After thanking Danny for his help I tried to pay him but he wouldn't accept. He instead gave me his card and asked me to review him on yelp. We just bought a house and we will be using Danny for any work we need from now on. Thanks Danny read more

Danny and Kirsten have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Scheduling through Kirsten is extremely easy, and Danny's workmanship is second to none. The professionalism they both hold up to is why I have, and will continue to lean on them for any requests that come up. read more

Worst service; worst attitude. I own 4 separate businesses myself and worked for an international corporation and can not recommend ARC to anyone. Kirsten Lieder is rude to put it mildly. There are far more hard-working, respectful and people oriented businesses in Carpinteria that deserve patronage. read more

ARC Services are THE best team in the SB area to work with! Danny can do literally anything (and anything he doesn't know, he's quick to tell you: "I don't know, but I'll figure it out!"... and then he does just that). We got lucky, happened to see his truck on the freeway one day while on the hunt for a great all-round handyman (and after too many word of mouth tryouts that just weren't right). We have hired ARC regularly since then (it's been about a year) and never looked back. There always seems to be something for Danny to do and because he's SO reliable, SO professional, SO handy, he is SO worth it to keep on your team of house project To-Do's. You'll be amazed at the things you can bring to the list to have done! Don't settle for having little broken things or big projects that keep getting ignored! "Let Danny do it!" is one of the happiest phrases in our house. Best of all, ARC Services is run by Danny's wife and office manager Kirsten, quick and friendly she makes scheduling super easy! Once, she even came to our rescue herself, dropped everything she was doing to bring us a ladder we desperately needed before a party (Danny was busy at another job). I've never been more impressed with a service. Don't wait to call ARC today! read more

Great service, great communication and they even found a better solution than what we had asked for! Handled plumbing and wiring like an expert. Will gladly be asking Danny back the next time we need anything done! read more
