Ghosted after the first message. This page should be updated to say "will only respond to certain types of work" or "will only respond if the job feels worth the effort." I reached out for a quote regarding a specific job, and instead of a simple response like, "This isn't something we specialize in," there was no reply at all. According to this page, the services offered include handyman work. Before committing to larger projects, it's reasonable to start with smaller jobs to evaluate quality and reliability. Unfortunately, for a small business, this level of communication reflects poor customer service. I hope this improves for future customers. Please do better. read more

Chris was professional, punctual, and communicated exceptionally well throughout the project. He did an outstanding job remodeling our kitchen, delivering high-quality work with great attention to detail. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch craftsmanship at a great value. read more

If you want to pay licensed contractor rates and get terrible amateur service then go no further. I had Chris handle some repairs and upgrades to my cabin while I was out of town working. He was friendly and responsive and because of the price he was charging I assumed he was doing good work. When I got home I quickly realized how wrong I was. My cabin was being used as a AirBnB at the time as I was out of town and a guest had broken a closet bifold door. Chris sent me an estimate to repair the doors for $500. I assumed for that price he was going to replace both doors as they only cost $150 each and shouldn't take more the an hour to install. When I got home I found that he had replaced only one door. OK, I should have looked at the invoice closer. Problem is the door he replaced didn't at all match the old door and the new one was binding with the trim. I paid him another $500 to replace the old door so they would match. He came with another door and I helped him replace the trim so the doors wouldn't bind. When the new door was installed I noticed it had a flat finish and the other one had gloss. So now I'm $1000 in on replacing closet bifold doors and they don't match. Keep in mind both doors cost $300 so I have now paid $700 in labor to swap out two bifold doors that didn't need to be cut down or anything, just replacing with something similar. He also replaced two sliding glass doors for me while I was away. Again, when I got home I noticed the new doors were installed uneven and were leaning forward. They were flush with the trim at the top but indented over an inch at the bottom. They tried to caulk the gap but at the bottom the gap was so big caulk wouldn't work. I showed this to Chris when he came to install the second closet door and he agreed they needed to be fixed. When he left he said he would talk with the guy he did the install with and find a time to come back and fix it, maybe he could fix it when he came back to fix the closet doors. That's when he stopped answering my text messages and phone calls. It's been three months of twice a week attempts to get ahold of him. It wasn't until I threatened to sue him that he got back to me. His response was that if I purchased new bifold doors he would install them. Not sure why I should have to purchase new doors when I paid him $1000 to replace two bifold doors. His answer for the sliding glass doors was that they would need to reframe my door openings to make the new doors fit properly. First of all if this was true he should have called me during the install and told me this. Second of all it's just not true. Today in 5 hours I completely uninstalled one of the doors. I had to clean off all the caulk which was all over the frame and trim. Then I reinstalled the door properly and only needed a few door shims to make everything line up. Tomorrow I will do the other sliding glass door. I was able to do this having never installed a sliding glass door in my life. So now I will uninstall and reinstall both sliding glass doors even though I paid him $700 to do it. Basically I should have just done these projects myself. read more

Chris The Handyman - This is the gap between the trim and my new sliding glass door. - Handyman Near Me

Highly recommend 10/10. Christian did a great job installing some closet doors in my home. He was very proficient and professional.

Chris is punctual and really knows what he is doing. He will be my "go-to" handyman from now on!

I run a property management business in Long Beach and often need jobs done that are "too small" for the average contractor. Changing a light fixture, swapping out a stove, re-tiling a wall after a plumbing repair, changing locks....and so on. These jobs are right up Chris' alley. He has great customer service skills-he directly makes appointments with my tenants, accomodates their schedules when possible, and is always on time. I have yet to receive a complaint, and usually my tenants love to complain when maintenance guys are late/rude/inexperienced/not fluent in english-but I don't ever get complaints on Chris or the work her performs. He takes pride in his work, is very easy to communicate with and his prices are extremely reasonable. I highly recommend him for all of your small job needs. read more

I'm a general contractor in the Long Beach area, and needed some help with some non-asbestos popcorn ceiling removal. Being that we were short on workers as these days are busy for most contractors, and I don't believe in using day labor from Home Depot under any circumstance for business, I reached out to Chris the handyman for assistance. His quote for the labor was more than reasonable, and stood at the site until the job was completed. He also cleaned up as required, and interfaces well with the client. I know a few other handyman guys in the area, but when I've called, they are always overbooked and don't display genuine interest in the work. With Chris, if he's busy, at least I get a call or text back, and he tells me when he can make it. He shows appreciation for every service call, not like some guys that treat you like a number. The pros with Chris is that he is local in Long Beach and can arrive at any of my jobs within minutes. The cons is most of the work he accepts are on the smaller scale, one to two day jobs, which is understandable, as his intention is to make himself available to a larger customer base, without falling captive to one person that would need him for endless days. I completely understand. So pros... he's upfront and will tell you if he can't do the work, but does most odds and ends that most contractors refuse to deal with. Also, he communicates well. Many handymen out there come with some seriously broken English. The cons are he runs his show on smaller scale work, as he has hobbies / aspirations aside from just maintenance work, which probably is what keeps him sane. He is a drummer on his spare time and loves rock and roll, which is a plus in my book :). If you're in Long Beach, or nearby... like San Pedro, Lakewood, Cerritos, Los Alamitos, HB, Seal Beach, you should have a decent rate of response . read more
