I feel compelled to let the Yelp community know about this handyman. I contacted him to install a mantel shelf on top of my fireplace. He was very dry when I spoke to him and didn't seem enthusiastic at all about taking on new business. I didn't let that get to me as most of all the Yelp reviews sing his praises as a great handyman. After our conversation he asked me to E-mail him pictures specs of the job, so I did immediately after him and I spoke. In the body of the E-mail I asked for him to give me a call or E-mail me the estimate and when he could schedule to install the mantel shelf - no answer. A couple days had passed so I decided to follow up, although I firmly believe I shouldn't have to be the one to follow up. Nevertheless I contacted Larry again and I asked him if he had received my E-mail and he was VERY dry again and said "Yes, maybe I think so." I then asked him to double check and told him I wanted to get the job done ASAP. He replied "OK." So I asked what the next step was. He said he was going to review my job description that I E-mailed and he would get back to me. I allowed for two days to pass and called him yesterday 10/19 - no answer. I tried to follow up with him again today 10/20 and again no answer. Larry seems like the type of Handyman that has to be begged to do a job and that's not the type of handyman I want. I was practically begging him to come put up the mantel shelf, I have been chasing him for a week, and now I'm going to begin looking for another handyman to work with as LArry is unresponsive and doesn't care about business coming his way. The LEAST he could do after having me follow up so many times, is tell me he cannot take on the work at this time. I would have looked elsewhere long ago, but he dragged me along for the past 9 days. Do not work with someone that doesn't care to get back to potential clients, ignores their calls, doesn't inform you what the next step is, and has you follow up with him rather than the other way around. Thanks but no thanks lazy Larry. read more

We had just moved in and had a list of things that needed to be done. Larry and his son completed everything on the list in a matter of hours. They were polite, efficient and cleaned up after themselves. Even the dog liked them. Will definitely use their services again. read more

Larry is super efficient and professional, a total gem. Just had him install some new doors including a double front door. Great work as always. Previously we had him install new flooring read more

Not so good handy man service!! I call they answer and I say I need wall repair and they said email and phone conversation ended. I emailed and two weeks later no response. Everyone wrote good reviews so I was excited to call but he never follows up. I've seen a couple other people have these issues. read more

My mister and I are just not good do-it-yourselvers. We try, but we just don't do well. Larry's come out twice for us, and each time has handled the job precisely and quickly, and at very reasonable rates. He quickly identifies the problem(s) and gets right to it. It's wonderful to have someone so responsive and trustworthy, who doesn't gouge us. Larry's our go-to guy, and I will proudly recommend him to anyone! If you're like me and you're looking for a dependable, qualified craftsman, look no more. Larry's your guy! read more

Caution - do not hire this guy. "Ok. See ya 10am"... this was the last text I got from LC Handyman days ago, finalizing our schedule for today. He Didn't show up! I text him, and called him on 2 different phone numbers. He did not have the courtesy to call or text me back! I hired him for a small job. When he didn't show, I hired someone else for half the price. The new guy showed within 2 hours as committed, and finished the job quickly. I'll be happy to refer the other guy. LC Handyman's name was provided by Home Depot. I will be reporting his "No Show" to them also. If you consider Larry, proceed with caution. read more

I am a Realtor , so I am always looking out for a new handyman. I found Larry working on a neighbors house & I liked that he was the owner & he was working. I found him extremely responsive & easy to work with. I would highly recommend him for all your needs! I had him complete the baseboards in a listing! read more

We've used Larry for a few home fixes. He's prompt and does great work. Will be using him in the future.

Removed and replaced the dish washer. On-time, knowledgeable, priced reasonable, and a nice guy. Recommended! read more

We have used Larry 4 times now and each time the quality of the work that he did was excellent. He installed a closet door, painted it and put in the trim. He replaced the front entry door knob and key. He also hung a new door from the garage to the backyard and repaired stucco and most recently he installed a new kitchen faucet. He is clean, on time, very responsive. I highly recommend him and his work. Teri Hicks, Anaheim, CA read more

We hired Larry to create a door (with frame) into our attic from the stairway in 2017 and he did such a good job that we trusted him this time to renovate our small laundry room that is a little over 5' x 7'. The laundry room needed the wallpaper to be removed and room to be textured and repainted; patching an area in the ceiling that was previously poorly done (in which I thought was due to a leak, but there is no leak); removing existing floating shelf to install new wall cabinet; installing new flooring and baseboards; and installing 2 recessed lighting. His bid was within the ballpark that we estimated and more reasonable than the other contractors we consulted with. Plus, I had a better instinct with Larry than those other contractors that felt as though they were going to nickle and dime us. Larry arrived as scheduled and went through the process with me of his plan for the day and kept me in the loop. He started to work right away and completed my laundry room by himself within 4 days. He was very mindful to do the tasks he needed that will still allow me to use the washer & dryer and let me know when he would need to pull them out to do the rest of the room. His work is complete and clean (for doing it by himself) and he was accommodating to my changes, such as repositioning the lights and switching it to a dimmer. Larry is such a friendly guy to work with also. We would consider him again for another project in our house in the future since we will have many projects to come. Thanks Larry. read more

See all

Larry's great! My home had some minor flood damage that ruined my new laminate flooring, baseboard, drywall and paint. Larry came in and fixed it in a fast, clean and professional manner. Larry was able to give me an estimate and stuck by it, something that is too uncommon in this business. read more

We rent a house and the owners are in Florida. The owners wanted to have a brand new front door installed into there home. Larry was great! Came and installed it in a few hours and was very professional. He cleaned up mess during and after, very well!!! I liked how he kept it so clean. Thank you and we will defenitly refer him to others!! He was also very nice! read more

Larry was on time , left a clean work area, and explained all repairs thoroughly . Pleasant to work with and honest . Will be sure to use him again for the home repairs . read more

First time using a handyman. Needed to get some repairs done for our condo prior to putting it on the market. We had some fairly bad door alignment and locking problems. It was easy to get him scheduled without a long delay, and didn't have any problems with the doors following service. read more

Larry is fantastic. He scheduled an appointment within 1 day of our original call to him. He arrived early (nice surprise), and was very friendly. We already had new valves, but one did not fit properly. Larry made a run for parts and knew exactly what was needed. His service charge matched the estimate even though the job ended up being a bit more complicated than originally contemplated. Having recently relocated to OC, I am confident that I have found my go-to handyman. Thanks Larry! read more

Larry is a 5 Star handyman. We suffered some flood damage in our family room and living room from the past winter's heavy rains. Larry and Mario did drywall repair an on the affected areas and painted the two rooms. They were always on time and did an outstanding job. They also dug a drain system around the house were the flooding occurred to insure that the flooding won't happen again. The door in the bathroom going out to the garage needed replacing and when Larry came out to measure for the door he fixed our outdated toilet system. The door had to be special ordered at Home Depot and when it was ready, he picked up the door for us saving me a trip to the store. He did great job and installed the door in a reasonable time. He also installed a doggy door for us. We have other jobs planned in the future and will use LC Handyman because we can be reassured of prompt and reliable service. read more

Larry is my go to guy when I need a handyman. He took care of a lot of deferred maintenance at my mom's house. Stucco repair, plumbing, drywall repair and painting, electrical. Larry is professional and reliable. He is always on time or early and his crew is professional too. I have also used Larry for work at my rental properties and will continue to call him when I need a handyman because I trust him. read more

We have used Larry multiple times for special projects at our loft. On his most recent visit he removed and replaced two older toilets with two new high flush modern models. He also installed shelving in our laundry room. He was able to come on a Saturday which really was appreciated! All work was done on time and in a very professional manner. Highly recommend Larry! read more

Larry did a great job installing our new garbage disposal. He was friendly and professional. We also had some other issues that he helped troubleshoot. And... gotta love the flat rate for the work! Thanks Larry! read more

Larry Put in my new air conditioning system in my place a few months ago And we have had the most humid air in southern ca since I first moved here. Larry did all sorts of stuff at my condo in Long Beach many years ago and also did work for me at my condo when I was out of state renting it . years later he is still helping me not only does he do a great job but he is a great guy Grateful for Larry read more

Larry came highly recommended by my painter initially to fix dry rot on my patio cover. He did such a good job and can basically do anything that he ended up doing projects for the next 2 months. He installed a new door, remodeled two bathrooms including install of new tub. Tile work was done by one of his regulars who did a fantastic and meticulous job. Overall whatever I needed Larry was able to come thru. He's a GC too and fully insured. He's also very pleasant and honest!! read more

Did great work at my rental property. Prompt. Courteous. Professional. Thank you Used Larry a second time. Once again, very professional. Easy to work with and schedule a time. Both myself and my tenant were pleased with his work. Thanks again! read more

Larry stopped by to adjust/remove kitchen cabinets so that we could place our new refrigerator. Fair pricing, responsive.

Larry and his son Chris remodeled 1.5 bathrooms in my home. He put in all new plumbing, flooring, and electrical. He also installed hardwood floor. They were both professional and efficient. His pricing is very fair as well. I am a perfectionist and Larry met all of my expectations for a job well done. Carrie-North Tustin read more

Had my appointment canceled twice, first one was a no call no show. When I complained I got attitude, this company doesn't deserve a 5 star Yelp rating. Take your business elsewhere. read more

Larry helped us install our washer & dryer vents as wells as setting up our cabinets for counter top installation. He is knowledgeable and has really high quality work! Very satisfied. read more

Shelby O. I've used Larry twice and have really been impressed by his highly professional and prompt service. Very importantly is that he kept both appointments and was on time! I have been disappointed and frustrated by many other handymen that I was actually surprised. In addition, before he got there for the last appointment I remembered 3 other things I needed to have done. He did them for me happily and efficiently. I have no hesitation about recommending him highly. read more

I had what I thought was a potentially expensive repair or replacement of my french door hardware. Larry was able to remove and recondition the parts so that it works perfectly. I highly recommend him. read more

Larry has handled two plumbing issues for me. He is very professional, clean, and gets the job done right in quick fashion. I will use him for other handyman needs as well. I highly recommend him! read more

Larry came out to do a rebuild after our water heater sprung a leak. Arrived exactly when he said he would and completed the job exactly when he said he would. Very thorough and clean workmanship. I was very happy with the work and recommend his services fully. read more

I have worked with Larry for many years including a full remodel, raising ceilings, taking out walls and small handyman jobs around the house. He is focused, hard working and stands behind his work. read more

UPDATE: And I'm still calling Larry. He's now fixed three gates (he's a gate master), installed two interior bedroom doors, and rehung a bi-fold louvered door. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that I prefer his craftsmanship over mine any day. I thought that I was handy with tools - and at some level, I am. But if I want to be truly productive, I call Larry to get the big jobs off my list. There's more to life than slaving all day over single task that takes a pro (like Larry) only hours. read more

Larry repaired part of my roof and helped with a leak I had under my kitchen sink. He was very helpful & knowledgeable about both projects. Thanks for the great work Larry! Will be using you again soon read more

Larry is a Great guy and does a meticulous job. He's done 2 small jobs at my home. One involved wall mounting 4 floating shelves which he nailed spot on. Today he returned to hang 4 diplomas and a large acrylic print. This also turned out beautiful. Keep up the good work Larry! read more

Larry and Chris have done quality work for us many times. They are our go to guys. They always show up when expected and do quality work. I have used them for plumbing, painting, and carpentry. I highly recommend them! read more

What a great team! Larry and his son arrived promptly and immediately went to work installing four grab bars in the bathroom. They did a terrific job and cleaned up nicely after they finished the project. I highly recommend Larry as your "go to" handyman. read more

I used Larry for a few projects in my house. He was really friendly and charged fairly. I enjoyed working with him and will definitely use him in the future on other projects! read more

When our new-to-us home had what I thought were just some minor punch list items to take care of after our remodel, it became readily apparent that I was out of my element. LC Handyman squeezed us in the next day. About 30 minutes before their scheduled arrival, I received a call from Larry, who cancelled on me due to a previous job taking longer than anticipated; however, an hour or so later, he called back and said they could have someone out that afternoon, which was great considering we were scrambling to find someone to do the work. Larry's son came out and began working on the items on my list. The electrical was a little outside his league as well (which made me feel much better about my own skills). A while later, Larry joined him, and began to address some of the items that were still outstanding. I could hear him instructing his son on how to do the work, and (as a teacher) I appreciated him taking the opportunity for a good teaching moment. When the parts that I had on-hand turned out to be defective, Larry graciously told me how to finish the job once I had secured the correct parts. (His instruction was great! My light switch install turned out perfectly!) I only have one complaint (and it's partly my fault): When I made the appointment, I told his assistant (who is extraordinarily kind!) that I had some electrical work to do as well as hanging some mirrors and shelves. The quote that she gave me was for $135. On the day of the job, the actual cost of all my services was almost $450. It turns out that the electrical work alone was $135. The discrepancy was a communication error, most likely, but I should have verified the prices prior to having the work done, so lesson learned on my part. The work itself, however, was well done, and I wouldn't hesitate to both use and recommend LC Handyman in the future. ***Please note that I received a phone call requesting that if I was pleased with my service, would I please leave a positive review on Yelp. As a thank you, they would send us a gift card. Since I was planning on leaving a review anyway, that was icing on the cake. Please do know, though, that all the opinions in my review are my own and reflect only my experience. The loss of a star is for the original cancellation, subsequent ultimately unnecessary scrambling on my part, and the price discrepancy regarding the quote, but does not reflect the quality of work.*** read more

Larry did a great job. Fast, friendly and affordable. He took care of our out door shutters. I highly recommend.
