I had Mark back for a problem with a different toilet from the one he fixed before and got the same great service. He keeps in touch, arrives on time, does a complete and solid fix. Great job, and I will continue calling on Mark anytime I need something repaired. Highly recommended! read more

This guy is great! Returned my call (some don't), came exactly on time, fixed my problem in short order and did a great job. He's the one I'll call from now on whenever I need work done. I highly recommend Mark! read more

Been having Mark work on odd (and sometimes very odd) projects at my house for the last few year. Most of the work has been repairs or refurbishments for my older house... replacing the front and garage doors when they wore out or warped due to the house settling. Setting up a big permanent gazebo in the back yard. Most recently, it was replacing an old grotty kitchen fan in the ceiling. Mark is reliable, friendly, respectful of my property. Works hard, does a great job, and gives me a great price. He's got that knack for coming up with novel solutions to mechanical and electrical problems, going the extra mile to make it a thing HE would want to use. read more

Mark was contacted, listened bathroom flooring concern, scheduled then arrived to do the assessment and suggest needed work. Had him first take care of my primary bathroom work, added another bathroom work. Both came out very well even though it was not a simply task due to floor itself in poor condition. Another time wanted to replace the kitchen faucet. Far simpler task but done well. Since that was quick, added some garage cabinet door fix work. I enjoyed working with him, listening to his advice and even helped him some with getting the job done well. I'm sure his skills extend beyond what I can know but would consult him for other work when needed. read more

Mark and his crew have done several jobs for us over the years. He put a new roof on our house, he's fixed our wood fence and has installed new kitchen cabinets, appliances and flooring at our rental house. Mark is a great guy and we're very happy with the work that they've done for us. We will definitely use them again for future projects. read more

Mark did a good job in helping us installing a doggy door. He came on time and have done a well-considered job. Highly recommended!

Wasted my entire day! Called up Mark to set up a time for him to assemble some bookshelves for the next day, and he picked up right away and was available. Just asked me to text him he address. Great! ... not really. Never got a response confirming the address, but whatever, no big deal. Next day, 40 minutes after his scheduled arrival, I text him to ask if he is still coming. Then, he tells me that he has been caught up on another job that has become more complicated. Tells me he will let me know when he is done with his current job to see if it would still work. Finally get a follow up from him 4 hours and 56 minutes after his scheduled arrival time that he will not be able to make it and we need to reschedule for another day. I didn't bother and went with another service that was more reliable. Would NOT recommend, since the point of a handyman is to reduce headache, not increase it read more

Mark is - in a word - fantastic! I had an unusual job at hand - make my strangely designed, very shaky/rickety platform bed super solid and firm. I looked on Craig's List and Mark's services description -- "creative solutions" caught my eye. Creative he needed to be for this job - and creative he was! We emailed back and forth ahead of time and I sent him pictures of the bed so he could get an idea of what needed to be done and arrive with wood and other supplies on hand so he could finish the work in one visit. Took him a couple of hours, the work is very nice looking and the bed is SOLID. I'm so happy with it now. And his rate is incredibly reasonable! To top it all off he is a super nice guy, very personable and got right down to work. If he can figure out how to do something like this, I'm sure he can help you! read more

I found Mark hereon and was impressed with his reviews, so I called him to replace two sets of old bi-fold closet doors (the doorways were a nonstandard width, so installation required some trimming of the doors both vertically and horizontally). Mark resized and rehung the doors perfectly, for a very reasonable price. I'm very happy with the results, and will be sure to call Mark first the next time I need a handyman. read more

Mark was recommended to us by our neighbor. He does great work and is very reasonably priced. Pays very good attention to detail and is super clean. He does every job like it's in his own home. He's super trusting with a great work ethic. You will not be disappointed. He will asses the job first and be honest with you if he feels he cannot handle it. He does prefer to work in the South Bay, but does come out to the East Bay as needed. Give him a call! read more

I had to choose a handyman to help me with lugging a 65in plasma across town to my daughter's condo for a Christmas present. I left a message on Mark's phone and crossed my fingers. He texted back with a time he could be here and his fees. With great relief, he was on time and ready to attack. We had to beast this thing (I'm an old lady) down a flight of stairs, past all of the cats and out the door and onto his truck bed. We drove across town in horrendous traffic and then he removed the tv from her living room wall and reinstalled in her bedroom and then installed the behemoth in the living room. This was no easy task. Without a single complaint he quickly and perfectly installed both TVs and left only after making certain that everything was in proper working order. And he made friends with her Yorkie. Mark was fantastic, he had a brilliant sense of humor, was timely, fair and competent. He is now firmly in my speed dial and I will be calling him for any future needs or issues. I highly recommend him and can't imagine him disappointing anyone. He's awesome! read more

Mark is a complete professional. I had a laundry list of things to do around the house and was scrambling to get someone to help after a no show from another handyman. Mark promptly called back and agreed to come help us the next day. 24 hours later I was one happy customer. He installed some ceiling lights, towel rack, curtain rods, door stopper and cut out a bookcase so we could fit some A/V equipment. Showed up right on the money, had all the right tools and most importantly showed great attention to detail. I liked how he fully assessed each task and patiently executed them with precision. Great service at a reasonable rate. Don't hesitate to call Mark, you won't be disappointed! He won't like coming to the East Bay but he's on my speed dial next time I need help. read more

First of all, we were thankful to Mark for actually calling us back. So many people who are highly rated on yelp, don't even have time to call you back. We were looking for somebody to help install a small dog door. We thought we had somebody lined up but when they found out that we didn't want to go with the $900 custom dog door that they install, they refused to call us back. Thankfully, Mark was quick to respond, highly professional, and able to come to do an estimate within a couple of days. He was also prepared to do the work that day, which he did! He did a fabulous job installing the dog door, repairing to screen doors, and installing a garage screen door. He was very detail oriented and meticulous. He cleaned up after everything he did. And he was very friendly to her curious little dog. We plan to call Mark again for other jobs in the future. I would highly recommend Mark. read more

Mark- an awesome handyman! I called Mark for assembling an ergonomic sit/stand desk with keyboard tray. It was really difficult job for me, involving drilling holes on the desk top and mounting the keyboard tray with it. But, Mark made it happen! He asked me to send him instructions for assembling this unusual desk, beforehand. And he came prepared! :-) He did really a good job of putting all together. Mark is professional, pays attention to detail, personable and approachable. He is very reasonable in his rates too. I highly recommend him for furniture assembly. And yeah before I forget to mention, he also fixed our restroom commode which was wasting lot of water with frequent auto flushing. read more

His service truly is five stars and I liked the fact that he was into details, he asked what he was assembling so he could read up on it first so he didn't waste anytime. The grill he assembled is a two person job and he was able to assemble by himself under an hour. He even fixed a door hinge on my gate because it bothered him on his way out. I will be calling him for all my repairs and truly couldn't recommend him enough read more

Mark and his son Kevin diligently worked for 2 nights to add a door to an opening in our house. He prices fairly and accurately. They are personable and come to work with a great attitude. Would definitely go back to them again for future jobs! read more

I used Mark's help for a complex Garage storage installation and to fix my side gate. He was diligent in his work and got things done the right way. I would for sure recommend him to anyone. read more

I contacted Mark through Yelp after having a very long problem with a cracked pipe under my home. Mark offered to come out the same evening even though I mentioned I wouldn't be home until after 7pm. I expected him to give me an estimate and a future date to when he could come out and fix it. I'm extremely thankful to say he fixed it that evening! Even though the location of the cracked pipe was a lot more complicated than it appeared to get to and it was disgusting and wet, Mark had no problem crawling in the complete dark area under my home to get to it and fix it. After going to Home Depot to get more durable parts to replace it with to ensure I wouldn't have this problem again, he had it fixed in no time! He's definitely trustworthy to get the job done and at a rate that I was given by a few plumbing companies to just come out and provide an estimate!! Thank You Mark for an awesome job well done at a rate the average person is able to afford! I will definitely contact Mark for any future jobs I may need assistance with! read more

I was looking for a handyman to install two safety grab bars in my mother-in-laws bathroom. A neighbor recommenced Mark Riller. Mark gave me a very reasonable price over the phone and arrival on time. The two bars that I ordered didn't come with anchors and there was no stud to support for one side of a bar, but luckily Mark has some anchors with him. He finished installing the two bars in about an hour, and cleaned up the area. When it was time to pay him, he didn't ask us to pay for the anchors. I felt that we should pay him the materials he provided since his labor fee was very reasonable. So we gave him extra for the materials. Overall, Mark was honest and finished the job in a professional way. We are happy with his service. read more

I contacted Mark a while back for installation on medical computer mounts for a clinic. He responded very quickly and scheduled himself to come in and help. He was very punctual, professional, and skillful. This job was not easy by any standard but he took care of it exactly as we wanted and even made some changes afterwards at no extra charge. Definitely recommended, and hope to work with him again. read more

Handled a few issues for us, fixed a door that wouldn't shut right, a gate that had the same problem, a drawer that kept falling out, and tore out and removed some shelving in our garage. Worked quickly and with a smile on his face. As hard as it is to find good help in the area I almost don't want to leave a review so I can make sure he's available for our next project :) read more

Zero stars if I could. Look, I get it, Sometimes your schedule is full. But, if you are so busy you don't have time for another job, don't claim "customer service" is important to you. I left a text with him, which he requested, and never heard from him. I did describe the job I was looking for but, no response. If you want to get and keep new customers, have a little respect and at least put out the effort to call back and either say you don't have time or, it's not a job you do. You just missed a really good customer. read more

Mark is the best! He was able to come over with very short notice, repaired our light fixtures and even gave me a bunch of tips on how to maintain some things he noticed needed fixing around our house. He also suggested ways we could do it cheaply on our own, but he's so awesome, we plan to hire him again. He's super friendly and helpful and his prices are very reasonable. I'm planning recommend him to all our friends and neighbors. read more

We recently had Mark come in and help out with a couple of things in our house. We are very impressed with the quality of the work done, his professionalism and very reasonable rates. Here is some detail on what Mark worked on at our house We needed help with installing a very heavy fountain and found Mark on Yelp. We called and and asked him whether he was available anytime soon. He agreed to come in the very next day (a Sunday) and asked us to text him the fountain details (make, model etc) in advance. He had done some advance research before he came in the next day and so was very well prepared. Net net he did a great job in installing/setting up the fountain. My wife and I think it looks even better than what we saw in the store demo model. We had also noticed in one of the reviews that he had done great work on a bed. My wife and I decided to ask Mark whether he could convert our Cal King bed to a regular (Eastern King) bed. To our pleasant surprise Mark volunteered to take a look at the bed after he finished up with the fountain. He assessed the work, decided he could get it done pretty quickly, went out and got some wood for the slats from the local Home Depot and was done in about an hour. In summary, excellent work at very short notice and at a very reasonable rate. Mark is our go to person for future work at our house read more

Very knowledgeable and professional. Prices are reasonable too. Will definitely call him in the future.

Mark and his son repaired a section of my fence that had fallen over. They did a great job on the repair. They were punctual and very good to work with. The cost of the repair was reasonable. read more

Mark is the best man I've consulted/interviewed up to five. My home has a pocket door which was messed up by pre-owner contractor. Mark did research and thinking in favor of client benefit. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He pay good attention to details. Work is well done. Rate is very reasonable. Will definitely call him for more work read more

Mark and his son did a great job. Good communication and fair prices. I just contacted him again for more work. I would recommend you hire as he was the best of the Handymen I have hired. read more

Mark is a very angry man! I hired Mark to replace my gutters. He looked at them and said they were not in bad shape and with a few patches, they would not require replacement. Sounded great. He did the work on a day when I was not there, and when we met afterwards, I checked the gutters and saw that along one wall alone, there were so many patches you couldn't even count them....literally dozens of patches. When I asked him about it, he became very, very angry. I mean REALLY ANGRY! I couldn't believe his behavior. His excuse for all the patches was that he hadn't scheduled the time to do a gutter replacement, and further said that this fix would last me a season or two. What!!!?? Why would I want to fix my gutters for just a season or two? When I commented that he could have stopped, and called me, and scheduled for a day when he had more time to do the proper replacement, he lost it....literally YELLING AT ME in my own house! I paid the man just to get him out of my house! Lastly, when I got up there myself and ran the hose along the gutter, IT STILL LEAKED!!! Would never, ever, ever hire him for anything again. Very angry, unstable man! Can't imagine his good reviews to be real, because of his poor work and serious anger issues. read more

After a few calls and two cancellations in a week due to unforseen circumstances on Mark's side, Mark came home at the time he promised to install a TV mount/mount the TV and also mount a TV on an existing mount. His work was very neat and charges reasonable. He also inspected a toilet flush that I thought had problems. Mark finished the work quickly and professionally. I will definitely be calling Mark again if I need a professional handyman, read more

Mark is professional and detail oriented. He comes prepared to the job and gets it done efficiently. He was a pleasure to work with. I took his help for furniture assembly. He did an amazing job with some furniture that was complicated to assemble. I will definitely recommend Mark to anyone and will be taking his help for other projects around the house. read more

Mark is as professional as they come - simply put. I recently moved into a new place and needed 4 TVs mounted in different rooms. Mark came by and completed the task a little over an hour! Not only was he able to do this so quickly, he was a perfectionist with his work as far as making sure every TV was in the right spot, center to each room, and at the right height. He was also willing to re-do any of his work if we were unhappy (which we absolutely were not)! Overall, I thought the price was fair and the quality of his work was great. He's a jack of all trades and I'd definitely recommend contacting him for his handyman services! read more
