We first worked with The Meticulous Handyman in 2023 when they made our yard safe for our new…read morepuppy. They did a great job! Our house is about 120 years old, so there's always something that needs fixing or replacing. So far they've helped us with replacing lights, exhaust fans, door handles, and locks. When we found the fence at the back of our yard was rotting away, and the dog was looking to explore our neighbors' yards, Meticulous tore down and replaced the fence in a day, so the dog couldn't go exploring at night. They're our go-to service. Costs are fair and explained clearly at the start. No surprises. And everyone who's worked in our house has been friendly and professional!

I had gotten several estimates/quotes from other plumbing companies who all told me I'd need to replace the ENTIRE thing. I called on The Meticulous Handyman and one of his team members came out and reattached the sink to the counter saving me probably hundreds of dollars. Apparently this is a common problem! He was also friendly, very meticulous and just did a great job (no problems since then). I would recommend this business to anyone!

Jake arrived to do an initial consult to determine what parts potentially needed to be ordered to…read morerepair my faucet. He set expectations well and said he couldn't be 100% certain, but he would start with the least invasive solution, order the part, and we could schedule the actual repair when the part arrived. He also let me know what I needed to do to prep for the future repair, which was helpful. I was contacted to schedule repair when the part arrived a few weeks later. Jake arrived promptly at the scheduled window, shut off my water supply for me, replaced the part, and set expectations that I could possibly see the issue again because without going more invasive, it's not entirely possible to determine the root cause, which made sense for a plumbing issue. He was clean, finished in less than an hour, and also sent pictures of the WIP while he was repairing. I appreciated the promptness, professionalism, and transparency.

He's fixed our pull out drawers in kitchen cabinets that failed with too much weight being placed on them from heavy silverware or cast iron pots.

He is efficient with his time, both times we used him. His minimum is two hours of work, so we are always ready with a long list of items, and he routinely will knock them all out (and them some) before his time is done. Recommend.

P.M. Update #5 5/29/2020: Stone and Virginia continue to send aggressive text messages. They…read moreinsisted on a partial refund of $299.99, which I neither requested nor wanted. My original review (below) was short and focused on the interpersonal challenges I encountered with Stone. It's helpful to look through all reviews and not make a decision based on one. I would not refer anyone to this business based on the pattern of intimidation and harassment that came after I shared my review. P.M. Update #4 5/29/2020: This afternoon I continued to receive text messages from Virginia and Stone. I've added a screenshot here and had to block their number. When considering this business, I would encourage potential clients to look at how Virginia and Stone behave when they receive a negative review. Today, I've been threatened and intimidated over 12 interactions. People make mistakes and many great businesses grow by learning - reaching out privately to learn more. My initial feedback below was focused on the "emotional overhead" of interacting with this business and how as a woman I did not feel safe at times. I want to restate: I wish HHH and Stone and Virginia well. They seemed to be good and competent people. On the interpersonal effectiveness level there's room for growth. It took two weeks, multiple missed appointments, and unwanted/unwelcome interpersonal interactions, but the pump was fixed competently. P.M. Update #3 5/29/2020: I've added a screen capture of another update that Stone and Virginia have made to their comment, so you can evaluate what it's like to work with this business. I have never requested a refund, nor received one, nor do I want one. My goal in posting was out of concern for women's safety and the "emotional overhead" that accompanies this business. I wish Stone and Virginia well and request that they please leave me alone. My experience with this business has been and continues to be a very very distressing experience. A few negative reviews are not representative of the full business. I would encourage people to evaluate the entire business. P.M. Update #2 5/29/2020: Stone and Virginia have removed their threatening comments and replaced it, which I appreciate. However, as they did threaten me here, I maintain with evidence that this has been a very bad experience. P.M. Update #1 5/29/2020: I would encourage you to expand and read the response from Stone and Virginia to my review. It depicts what I mean by "emotional overhead." Stone and Virginia also threaten legal action, which is intimidation (a pattern in their responses to other people who shared their feedback here). Reading their response here might be helpful as you consider if this is a person and business you want to work with. A.M. Update 5/29/2020: This morning I began receiving text messages from an unknown number, but these messages appear to be connected to this business and my review. As a single woman, I absolutely cannot recommend this business and feel increased concerned for my safety. To both Stone and Virginia, if I continue to receive messages or ongoing harassment from you, I will post them here. 5/28/2020: I feel afraid to post this, having read responses from the business owners on other posts where they receive negative feedback. In one, Virginia comments that the poster will get "what's coming to him," which appears to be a form of intimidation. Here's the thing, I would not recommend this business unless you have both the emotional bandwidth for inappropriate interactions (e.g. being called "Honey") and the flexibility for how they manage scheduling and rescheduling. Another reviewer also expressed challenges he had with the emotional overhead that Stone brings to interactions, which helped me understand that this is a pattern. Not everyone can carry someone else's emotional challenges, I personally only wanted a small thing fixed, but what actually happened left me feeling unsafe. The small problem with my washing machine became much larger and the fix took nearly two weeks as you can see in the receipts. I was overly patient with the no shows and rescheduling. It wasn't the mistakes made or the property damage that upset me, it was the tone of the emotional text messages that caused me concern. I'm sharing screen captures of some of the most harmful ones here out of concern for women's safety. I do wish HHH and Stone and Virginia well. They seemed to be good and competent people. On the interpersonal effectiveness level there's room for growth.

I just moved into my house and needed a shower…read more Both showers were broken. Both. How can this be? I paid for an additional contractor inspection during discovery phase of escrow. Ohhhh ::reads fine print of the plumbing section:: the inspection they perform doesn't include this. I went to sleep mad because I worked hard the whole day and I just wanted a hot shower. I was sweaty and dusty. It was a hot mess. I used the handy dandy Yelp app to find someone to come immediately. Why spend the money on a hotel just to take a shower when I could apply it to replacing the fixtures so I could shower in my own home? Focus. Meet the objective: hot shower stat. I chose this company because the response time was fast, the communication was clear, and the price was reasonable. Rafael and Arturo came out to help. I was so happy. They worked on my shower, put new plywood in the cabinet under my sink, and put the cap on my gas dryer line because I couldn't reach it! It was great to have friendly and helpful handymen in my house for a few hours. Stone, the owner of this business is really hands on so you know you will have a great end result. He reminded me about the homeowner insurance my realtor gave me. I forgot about that! My primary takeaway that may resonate with you as well? I appreciate how the owner educated and empowered me with understanding what was happening and how we could fix it instead of embarrassing me that I don't know what is going on in my own home. Listen, my area of expertise is my career outside of the home. I am happy to pay people whose area of expertise is what is in my home. Makes sense! Ohhhh that shower? Had it. I think that is even better than the first meal you have in your new home surrounded by moving boxes. (We had microwave popcorn and pizza delivery) I like handymen because they are of the mindset that if you can fix it fix it. I do not like demolishing/replacing for esthetics. I buy quality things because I know the total cost of ownership. You also know that because you're smart, which is why we are friends. Handmen make this wonderful way of living possible. Sure, they do remodels, but for me the key is maintaining what I have. I do not have disposable mindset. Give your home some love. Repair what has been bothering you for a reasonable price with super helpful and skilled professionals. Live your best life.

We were facing a significant home surgery and had to take a leap of faith, and Nelson delivered. He…read morecomes highly recommended! A rite of passage for new homeowners is to deal with a major repair. Less than a year after moving in, heavy rains led to water from outside making its way inside without invitation. Noticing some damaged wood that was likely to blame, we called on Nelson to help. Of the various contractors we solicited for quotes, Nelson was the most through and punctual. And throughout, Nelson and team were reliable, communicative and provided expert work for a job which started as a "minor" siding repair but expanded (to our dismay) in scope as increasing amounts of rotting, structural wood from the previous owner was uncovered. Although it was disconcerting to see how much damage we would need to address, Nelson was sympathetic and assured us that it would be straightforward to fix and advised on a couple of different approaches, which we agreed to. His team arrived on time every day and worked around weather conditions to perform carpentry, waterproofing, and offered continuous updates. We also hired Nelson's team to paint afterwards, and are very happy with the results. By the end we started dreaming about other projects or repairs we could accomplish and started getting his feedback on those as well! One thing we learned is that it's necessary to make sure the discussions are thoroughly documented-we had a couple of misunderstandings about what was included or not after verbal discussions, which we either resolved through the contract, or realized after the fact that it was something discussed but never written down so we let it go. But making the agreement itself was a breeze, and Nelson is good humored, flexible and was easy to work with at all of the stages of the process. We would certainly work with him on future repairs.
