Maria did an amazing job at creating my custom bookshelves. She was able to install them in one day, and they are perfect for my office! My office is still a work in progress on my end, but this is what the bookshelf look like! Can't wait to finish my reno in here and complete my office, with her perfect bookshelves! read more

Marriaha recently helped me with some housewarming projects: art on the walls, curtain rods hung, and diagnosing a drafty window. Her work is thorough and she was a pleasure to have in my home. I trust her input in prioritizing upcoming home repairs, and look forward to working with her again in the future. read more

Handy Gal was able to help me when I needed something done quickly. She went above and beyond, and worked hard to get my project done. She was even done earlier than promised. She communicated well throughout the process. read more

Marriaha is such a great handyman to work with. I had several project upon moving out/in and she knocked them down very efficiently. She knows what she is doing and I sure am impressed by her works. I'll contact her again in the future for sure! read more

Marriaha does great work. She's prompt, professional, knows her stuff, and is very nice to work with. She gave me all sorts of tips on how to solve some minor problems on my own and how to fix my door again if the same problem happens down the road! Honest, prompt, and very reasonable. I highly recommend her! read more

12/6/20 - Made contact w/Marriaha. She was very responsive. Scheduled an appt for 12/11/20 12/11/20 - Rec'd text from Marriaha that she had to reschedule due to car trouble. Rescheduled for 12/21/20 12/21/20 - Marriaha replaced shower mixer valve/temp flo valve. Also had 3 sprinklers in need of repair. One sprinkler was broken at pipe/elbow, not just a sprinkler replacement. Marriaha said she'd like to come back to repair elbow/pipe. Said she was taking the rest of the week of for the holidays and would get back to me after the holidays to schedule the sprinkler work. Never heard back. 1/19/21 - Sent Marriaha a text. (Gave her plenty of grace & space for holiday time.) I asked if she was going to reschedule the sprinkler work and if not, that was fine, just respond either way letting me know. Never rec'd a response. read more

Unfortunately, my experience is much the same as some of the other people who've written reviews. At first Marriaha was very responsive and did excellent work on some projects; she also seems to have outstanding skills in a broad range of work. But Marriaha then became completely unresponsive and left one small project unfinished. I texted her many times over several weeks -- no response. Overall, this was a disappointing experience. read more

As someone who has frequently used handy services I can say hands down that this was the most pleasant experience I have ever had. Marriaha was on time, a joy to have in my home, had great attention to detail and took pride in the work she completed for me. I had her install two closet systems and even though the boxes arrived unlabeled and one piece of the wood was warped, she made it work. She even built me a custom piece to ensure that the weight of my clothes didn't break the flimsy hanging rod that came with the kit. I would 100% recommend Handy Gal and will use her in the future! read more

I hired Marriaha to install a tarp on my outdoor pergola to protect my outdoor furniture from the winter storms. She seemed really nice but on the day we had planned for her to complete the job, she sent her teenage son instead. The tarp did not look sturdy and I expressed concern, but her son reassured me that the tarp would be "just fine" and if there was an issue they would absolutely address it. With the first storm of the season, a big part of the tarp came down & broke a wire were a few (one of a kind) outdoor sculptures were hanging and broke them. I contacted Marriaha to ask for her help to secure the tarp that I had paid her to install, (without even asking for compensation about the damage that was caused by the poor installation of the tarp by her teenage son). Gave her the benefit of the doubt over the holiday period. Contacted her again in the beginning of the year and again after another week. She ignored my messages/phone calls and never responded. Please watch your back and think twice before hiring Marriaha for your project. read more

I wish I had seen these reviews before hiring Marriaha. As with many of the reviews, everything starts out really great. Marriaha is responsive, pleasant and helpful. Later, she failed to respond to any form of contact and failed to complete the project. That left us trying to find someone to finish off the rest of a small job. To be fair, Marriaha did a great work on with the first half of the job but failing to return to complete it overshadows that. read more

Marriaha is the best handyman I have ever met. She is very experienced, works quickly, is personable, and is reasonably priced. She communicates well when setting up appointments and is reliable. She has a good interior design eye and gives advise on that, if you like. She picks up small items at the store as needed for the job. So far, she has helped me with hanging art, hanging curtains, fixing electrical problems, and several others types of household handyman type services. I highly recommend Marriaha! read more

Marriaha was great! Timely, thorough, good quality work on fixing/replacing our dog door. Very reasonable price and pleasant to work with. She's on speed dial for sure for our future projects! read more

Super knowledgeable was very helpful loved her character would absolutely recommend Handy Gal she's knows her stuff. Had a young man who helped her had such great manners. All in all great service. She'll will be back. read more

This review is for repair and refinishing my deck. She finished one half of the project then sent her teenage or very young son and his buddy to finish the job. They didn't cover the entire fascia, missed spots and got stain on my house. They also left all the lumber that was removed on my lawn and loose screws on my steps. A large sander was used which tore out several chunks of wood. When informed of this, she came back. She did take away the lumber and scraps they left. She also finished the staining and touched up the spots they missed. She managed to miss several areas on the fascia. I don't get it. She had two chances and it's still not right. One star. read more

Awesome experience... she is knowledgeable, friendly and very particular about her work. Will definitely recommend! read more

I got a decent quote from her for fixing some fence sections - she stopped by, we had some back and forth about the price and exact work, and then she just ghosted me. I emailed her three more times to set up the work, but she never responded. Rather odd. I was just checking this page to see if maybe she had closed shop, but doesn't appear so. read more

Marriaha was very responsive at first- seemed knowledgeable and prices were reasonable. We had a fairly long list of small projects and she got off to a good start and the tasks she finished, she did well. Then she started rescheduling appointments and finally quit showing up at all with no messages. We paid her invoices very promptly and in full. Too bad as quality home repair people are hard to find. read more

Purchased a white ceiling fan to be installed in Family Room. Contacted Handy Gal as she did such great jobs at my prior residence (condo). Received a response within an hour. Marriaha was very honest and explained possible variables. Quite honestly, with the purchase of this poorly handled flip, I anticipated the worse. She said she was available Wednesday morning or next time would be Saturday. I requested Wednesday morning. Marriaha said 10:00. Unfortunately, prior to her arrival she texted me that she was running late and would arrive between 10:30 - 11. She arrived just after 11. Marriaha is absolutely amazing. She evaluated the situation and best approach. Each step of the way she was extremely patient and cordial. Within an hour, the ceiling fan was in full operation with corresponding remote. With her efforts, the electrical box was deemed satisfactory so no extra charge to replace box. Her price for ceiling fan installation is very reasonable (as with her other jobs). Marriaha again apologized for arriving late. The only reason I mention it is the fact that in every other way this was a five star service. Looking forward to future work. read more

Handy Gal - Newly installed ceiling fan - Handyman Near Me - Orangevale, California

Marriaha did a great job for me. I have struggled with resolving a gate problem for years and she handled it effectively and efficiently. She did a great job explaining to me what she did and why as well as why I can expect it to go out of alignment in the future. She was very reasonable in her pricing. The only reason it's not a five is that we had agreed she would call me the morning of the day we scheduled but I ended up having to text her in the afternoon and we had to reschedule due to a family emergency. The day of the job she texted me hours ahead of time when her morning job was taking her longer than expected which I always appreciate. read more

Love the website. Has services we need. Unfortunately, did not show up for appointment. No call or follow up. May behaving family problems. read more

Marriaha is a great combo of professional and friendly! She's a really good communicator so she can 'see' the project before she even starts. She completed the plumbing for the bathroom upgrade and installed toilet and vanity with great attention to detail. read more

She did an excellent job installing my new kitchen faucet. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. She charges a fair price and I will be using her again. read more

I needed my faucet replaced. She was great to work with, explained what she was doing, and made sure I was happy before finalizing the new faucet. I'm very pleased! read more

Marriaha responded to my quote request (replace faucet) for my rental home very quickly. We were able to schedule the installation within a week and the project was complete on time. The quote was very reasonable and communication has been great. Will call here again for any future repair. read more

I used Handy Gal for the first time today and couldn't be more pleased. We had a tenant with a chirping smoke alarm and Handy Gal was able to help the tenant the same day by replacing the unit with a similar hard wire unit. She was knowledgable about current code requirements which is especially important with an older property. I'll definitely use Handy Gal again! read more
