Did A great job mounting my TV and setting up the speakers. He mounted the TV in my room great guy and great service
WARNING!!!!! Do NOT hire Joe for door installation. If you don't want to read the story, just look at the pictures below. We hired Joe to convert a short cubby-hole storage door to a full size/walk-in door. This required moving the header wood up and installing a pre-hung door. He did not move the original header up. He just placed a 2x4 as the door frame top which is not even supported by the "jack/trimmer" studs. He also did not use new wood for the "jack/trimmer" studs (see diagram below for proper construction). He left gaps where the old header was located and filled in with pieces of wood. Jack/Trimmer studs are supposed to be one piece. He also left a diagonal wall brace hanging after he cut it. All of this was discovered after he left when we did research on how this job should have been done properly. None of the frame work above would ever pass a construction inspection. He claimed we did not hire him to do frame work, only hang a door. However, the job and request clearly stated the door header needed to be moved up to install a new walk-in/full size door. As for the new door itself.... When Joe "finished" the work, I came over to review the job. The door was completely warped in the frame and not closing properly. He tried to blame this on the original framing. After having to press him on the result, he begrudgingly reworked the pre-hung door. Now the door closed okay, but the gaps around the door we're all off. He then blamed it on the "cheap" pre-hung door. Prehung doors are near perfectly aligned by default, the gaps were off because I later learned he did not use shims between the prehung door frame and the house framing. I pressed him again about the gaps and he was very agitated but used screws of various tightness to make the gaps look better. This caused the jamb to separate (shown in images). In the end, the door is still crooked and gaps are off, it's also not level. He also botched the door trim which was falling off the frame/not properly attached around the edges. To hide the major flaws, he boogered on a ton of caulk. I had to press him on these issues too. At least the trim was no longer falling off/insuffiently attached when he left, but it looks horrendous. Sanding and painting isn't going to correct the mis-alignment issues. At this point he was just in a great big hurry to leave. Bottom line, there was ZERO pride in his workmanship. He just did not care and was annoyed when clear problems were pointed out. We're not being nitpicky at all...everything was done completely wrong after talking to another handyman/contractor. As it turns out, Joe is a member of "Backed by Yelp Guaranteed"....we had to file a claim with them because he would not respond to any communications after the fact. Yelp is returning the money we paid Joe so we can have someone come out and correct the job. Please excuse the fingers in the photos, this was a requirement by Yelp to prove legitimate "after" photos.
Joe was on time and quick reply but he did a bad job with the installation. I'm not sure he has installed a lot of shower doors but the first time he came and installed it, he put the doors on backwards, left a few pieces behind that needed to be installed, and left a lot of silicone for us to scrape off. He returned to fix it and was adamant that it was installed correctly. We kept questioning little things that looked odd, but he brushed it off and hurried out. He might be talented when it comes to other areas, but not this type.
Jose knew exactly what I wanted to install and got the job done on time and efficiently. My goal was to install anchors to studs in the ceiling so I could hang my TRX and calisthenic rings. He made the job look easy and he kindly tested it out for me as well! I'll definitely be giving him a call again!
Jose keeps helping us out this year! I've used him to nail down carpeting, install a door, and attach a light fixture to our living room ceiling. He charges like $75 or more for small jobs like that, BUT he actually responds and shows up on time (unlike many others). Post-COVID, it's almost impossible to get handymen to reply or show up for work, but Jose keeps making himself available. Thanks Jose! - Jordan from La Mesa
I would like to start by saying I REALLY hate leaving negative reviews (check my profile), but I guess I don't have much of a choice here. I reached out to several handy men to get an estimate for installing a prehung door. I expressed to Joe I wanted the door and frame replaced. He assured me I did not need to replace the frame if it was the same size door, which it was. I am not the handyman, so I took his word for it. Specifically, I told him I was OK with either option, so long as it was done right. He gave me a low cost (which wound up being more) and told me he could come out that weekend to do the job in a couple hours. I should have known he was trying to squeeze me in for a quick buck; however, against my better judgement, I trusted his opinion due to his great reviews. I was not present when he came, as I was out of town. He was mostly dealing with my wife in my absence. My wife was not really happy about the job, as she could tell it was off, but did not want to be confrontational. When I got back home I immediately realized the job was not done right. The door was in the frame crooked (see pictures) and, as a result, the deadbolt was not throwing correctly. As it stands now, you have to press the door into the frame to lock it. To me, neither of those things make it, "done right" and I am certain Joe wouldn't have installed a door like that at his house. I tried texting him several times to voice my concern, but he never responded. In the end, he did this job at an inexpensive cost, but an inexpensive waste is a waste all the same, as I will need to have the job redone the right way now. His last few reviews indicate his quality is declining. I would steer clear for now.
I had a 43inch TV and a TV mount that needed to be installed. I searched through Yelp and saw HandeeJoe business. I asked for an estimate and he gave one of $75.00 in which I thought was fair. Once Jose / the owner arrived, he was friendly and worked fast . It took less than a hour to install the mount and TV. The TV looks awesome on the wall of my bedroom. I can't wait to actually watch some movies on it. Yelpers, if you need something done by a professional and a friendly technician, please give Jose/owner a call. You will not be disappointed. Thanks again Jose.
I cannot recommend Joe. He did not show up on the day he said he would. When he did show up, he started talking about different prices for items we discussed before hand. He immediately tried to get out the work and stated he must be paid per day versus the lump sum we discussed. He showed up with out supplies and adequate equipment. We did have him hang an antique lamp and this is what I came home to. See the pics. I had to spend time fixing it myself. We gave him $75 for this type of work. He then would not answer the phone to discuss the situation.
Rude. Condescending. Unprofessional! DO NOT BOOK THIS GUY! He had an attitude before he even got to my building. Tried making small talk and being kind but it was pointless. Matters only got worse once installing the first 65" tv...he asked about how high, I said sure about 6 inches or so above console but before I knew it he started drilling holes in the wall. 5 mins later the 1st tv was 2 feet off to the left and damn near 5 feet from the ceiling. It was completely off center and way too low so I had him fix what he ASSUMED looked good to him! I was pissed he never asked about how to center it, he just took it upon himself!! There was more drama to follow about using the already installed wall plate to the conceal the wires...he purposely drilled the wall mount right over it and then told me it would an ADDITIONAL $100 to hide the wires thru there! It's already designed for that WTF?! The bad, grumpy attitude ensued and then eventually got to the second smaller tv. I said "please center this one to the wall", I stepped out for 2 mins and ca back but the damage was already done. Once again, it was too freakin low and OFF CENTER!!! This dude was a serious POS and not worth any penny! Again I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!

I regret hiring Joe!!! I've never had such a bad experience with a contractor before. He was arrogant, insulted me, screaming and overcharge me. He made me pay for tools he rented, besides me already paying for his services, that should have included everything. He didn't finish his job properly because he didn't wanted to be stuck in traffic. He brought another guy with him that kept repeating what Joe was saying, he seemed to be a total beginner. Pictures speak for themselves about the quality of his work. read more

Do not hire for stucco work. Raised the price after already giving a quote, and then left bucket of concrete because he didn't want to take it away in his car. Would not hire again. Response: Please see screenshot of our conversation scheduling the STUCCO job. That's your #. read more

Awesome experience with Jose. My TV was mounted within 15 minutes. He was even super helpful getting the TV out of the box. He had all the necessary tools and knew exactly what he was doing. He even helped me move some things out of the way. I'm glad I have his contact since he also does other type of work like hanging frames and things of that sort. I didn't really know how high or low the TV should be but he helped me figure that out too. His pricing was great for the value. I will definitely reach out again and recommend him to other people. Great work! Thanks Jose! read more

As far as him making effort in getting the materials, he did well. I felt he rushed the job, left me with clean-up and cut the closet door uneven. Very unclear communication at times. I was okay with paying more for things if it meant better quality (I.e. having another company cut the hallway closet door instead of him, see pic), just wish he would have told me options. I recommend having ALL of your materials ready to go and establish clear expectations upfront (I'll take responsibility for assuming). He did come back to fix a problem with the bedroom closet. I won't use him again but I got what I paid for. read more

I would NOT recommend hiring Joe. Here is why: 1. He had to move our appointment back, which is fine, but was late anyway. 2. He forgot what work he was supposed to do right before our appointment. 3. He did the 2 tasks I asked him to do (see my screenshot image) but charged $150 instead of the $100 quote he gave me (again, see screenshot image). He did not do any extra work, he just decided to charge more once the work was done and would not leave until he received that amount. He does get 2 stars because he showed up on the same day that he said and the work did get done. read more

10/10 Came through in a timely manner, awesome service, friendly and nice. In and out in about half an hour total. Offered extras and came through when I needed. Would definitely use and recommend him to mount another TV and any other handy service he offers. Definitely will become my all around man! My husband loves the mount and the tilt option! Thank you Joe read more

For what's it's worth , Joe took care of the hard part. The small defects he left behind are nothing to make a big fuss about , atleast for me . If you're picky then look elsewhere, the price is reasonable I even gave him a little extra . I can sit here and ding him on every little thing I noticed , but I'm just happy my rack is up . I went back to fix the defects Joe left behind. Cons : bolts not fastened, had to go back and tighten them up (easy fix ). Asked for tools Drilled in the wrong place so left holes on wall ( eye sore but can also be fixed ) Left extra hardware (washers etc ) some of the bolts didn't have washers . Needs to be more serious on his word. He said I have 90 day warranty on workmanship, then said 90,60,30 whatever . Lol Pros : Price , which is what attracts most customers .( like me ) My rack is up and sturdy for now that's all I care about. 4 stars for price and minus 1 for defects listed above . read more

This man took advantage of my elderly mother while I was at work. As I am a nurse and work a lot before i moved she tried to surprise me by having the crate put together, when I came back and took the lid off the crate fell apart. He was extremely unprofessional and would not back up his "work". Now my crate almost 700 dollars is non useable, Would not use his services. read more

All I can say is I'm impressed. Jose was professional and made everything seamless. I had a TV that needed to mounted over a fireplace and very few handymen do it for whatever reason. Jose on the otherhand, came in and got the TV mounted in no time. HE made sure the TV was level and went over the instructions on how to use the motion mount. Overall, quality work, very meticulous and very affordable. Would recommend Handeejoe to anyone who want the job done right. read more
