Mr Fix It took a $8000 insurance job for replacing a shower in a manufacturEd home. the shower that was installed has a 1/2" gap in the door causing water to flood the bathroom. It's been six weeks with zero response on fixing the proble. I believe he installed a "second" shower the gap in the door is insulting. Mr fix it was very aggressive to get the job and impossible to get to have it fixed. My recommendation to everyone is to never use Mr Fix it unless you want second class work and product used. read more

Michael fixed our sagging exterior side gate, two sagging interior doors, recaulked the bath tub, and even figured out how to unblock our garage door which was hitting our dryer (which 3 contractors were unable to do in the past). Michael is a skilled and friendly handyman and we will definitely be using him for future projects around the home! read more

I had Michael come by and fix a broken pocket door in our laundry room, pocket doors are tough to fix but Michael tackled it and did a great job. After that I asked him to fix a couple of bi-fold doors in the bedroom and again he was very good at fixing them read more

I've had the pleasure of having Michael service my townhouse several times. He has what you're looking for: - No BS: decisive and can put decisions that matter to you in your hands. Gets all the material ahead of time and asks specific questions to help diagnose, and design a solution. He pulls you in and explains what is happening as the project gets completed so you have an idea of how it's built in the event of future repair needs. - Efficient: has the expertise to execute quickly while also future proofing the work if needed. He gets in and out getting the job done. - Responsive: I've had every one of my repairs identified within a day or so. Depending on the urgency, Michael will prioritize your project and ensure you are taken care of. - Equitable Cost: you don't want a "cheap" service. I gladly pay for Michael's expertise and well rounded skill sets. I've had the following work done - no problems and executed with ease: 1. Laundry / Dryer install with challenging connector layout 2. Garbage disposal clog - visited next day in the AM (8H turn around, amazing) 3. Water heater install - he had to replace and build out a platform for my water heater. Re-plaster and attach new connectors and attachments. All and all - great service and execution. Cleans up afterwards and is conscientious of your time. Would highly recommend - I know I can depend on Michael to get the job done which brings me great peace. read more

Michael, the owner of Mr. FixitOC, is the real deal. Over the last several years, Michael has solved every repair issue and problem I have challenged him with.

Had an electric outlet in need of replacement under the kitchen sink. Michael was able to assess the issue and confirmed the existing outlet was corroded. He replaced the outlet and was able to get my dishwasher back up and running. To top it off, he even noticed I had a minor water leak and was able to stop it while under the sink. Definitely would hire him again! read more

Mr. FixIt OC is very knowledgeable, reliable, eager to please, and has great integrity! I recommend him without any hesitation! Karen Smith read more

Michael returned my inquiry right away about a wooden floor repair I'd been putting off for a while... because I knew it wasn't going to be easy. This was some serious "floor surgery" that required some out-of-the-box "problem/solution" thinking followed by meticulous execution. He got it done perfectly in less than 3 hours. And, he didn't mind me looking over his shoulder the whole time. Highly recommended. read more

We have used Michael many times over the years and he's always performed well! Total professional. Seems to be able to do anything we've asked. We highly recommend him. read more

Caveat: review is not based on work. Based on exchange to possibly do work. *** In the initial phone call, I asked if he comes out to the Cerritos area because of his location. Long story long: - I called, then I emailed as he asked, and then emailed again with more details as requested, - Then I got an email back that consisted of, 'that's lots of paint- not interested', and a comment about 'not sorry to drive 20 miles just to look and then drive 20 miles back.' - Prior to the last comment, he said he had time Wed., I said Wed. worked and asked if he wanted to come look at the scope of work since I've terrible spatial approximation. No quote on anything, a clear offer to NOT go out and look at work (which is fine, I get it), but boatloads of attitude all in the mix. read more

Very nice gentleman arrived promptly and took care of all the issues very happy with the work

Had called him for a deadbolt job. Got shitty to me because I missed his message while I was in the hospital visiting my dying mother. His tone and communication skills need work. read more

Michael - Mr. Fix It, has helped my husband and I with numerous projects, including fixing our doorbell, installing a light above our stove, fixing doors so they close, installing a front screen door, installing window blinds, and repairing our ancient garage door opener, among other jobs. He is a creative problem solver, and approaches each problem with a goal of solving it. We are very glad we found him, and trust him to address any house-related problem that comes up in our home. read more

Hired Mr Fix It to hookup a BBQ he charged me $95 he was here 15 minutes. To start up the BBQ rather than using the directions from the manual He advised how to start the flames in a way that is clunky and I do not get a full flame on any of the burners. When I called him to report it was not working he said I told you how to operate it and ended with "I don't know what to tell you". Here's some advice mr fix it. If you don't know how to do something -- own it. Don't be a "if I can't fix it it ain't broken" dude. Keep moving on. Hire a professional!! So. I just had the gas company out and the BBQ has to be turned off and disconnected as it was improperly installed and is in hazardous condition Turns out mr fix it does not know that the regulator he said dismissively Said I did not need I do. So save your bucks and go elsewhere. Where is my refund???!!! read more

Mr Fix It O C - Handyman Near Me - Orange, California

Mike is an excellent handyman who cares about his clients! I had an electrical issue and needed help right away. Mike came by the next day, diagnosed and fixed the issue, then followed up to make sure everything was working as he expected - which it was. He was prompt, professional and charged a reasonable amount. I saved Mike's number and will certainly hire him again in the future. Thanks Mr. Fix it!! read more

My hubby can also fix anything, unfortunately he's gone 4 days a week due to his work. Got a referral for Michael and glad I did. He was able to get the project done quickly and did a good job. It was great to let my hubby use his time off to relax. read more

We had a great experience with Michael. He fixed our garbage disposal, as well as a last minute unexpected repair to our trash can he was nice enough to also help out with. Very nice and friendly, and very informative! Thank you for a great job read more

Mr Fix It O C - New door! - Handyman Near Me - Orange, California

Michael is awesome. I had been calling various stores that specialize in windows & no one was willing to help me with my repair. I had also reached out to 2 handymen before calling Mr. Fix It. It was Saturday afternoon & he answered his phone and was able to talk me through a repair over the phone. It is really unusual to find someone knowledgeable & willing to take the time to help out. If you want a smart handyman with integrity call Mr. Fix It. read more

My mom needed some string/globe lights hung for a party Saturday, and I realized Thursday the task was too big for me to handle, so I emailed Michael Thursday around midnight and he showed about 12 hours later. He already had an idea of what to do and he jumped right into it upon arrival. In less than an hour we had a string of lights going from a patio cover over a pool to a 10' post buried 2' in the ground and secured to a brick wall, then back to the house and back to another patio cover. Impressive in itself but more impressive it was complete in an hour! No problem recommending Michael for handyman work, and if anyone has any questions, please message me and I would be glad to help out. read more

See all

We've hired Michael fix a number of things in our house for the past year or two, including replacing a water heater. His rate is very reasonable and he has been refreshingly easy to work with. He answers our calls for help really quickly, always shows up when he says he will, and has done an exceptional job fixing or replacing broken appliances in our house. Can't ask for anything more in a handyman! read more

Micheal was amazing! He was very patient with me on hanging my pictures plus he was able to finish up my patchwork & painting very quickly. Also, he was quick to return my call and was able to come out to my house within a reasonable timeframe. Highly recommend Micheal. read more

I wish I would have checked yelp and read KC and a few other reviews before hiring Michael. I too was disappointed with him. I explained to him over the phone I needed done, it was a simple job and he gave me a quote. After finishing the job, he told me he used more supplies than he thought and charged me more. Beware, he can get very rude when questioned. I will never use him again! read more

I had a punch list with numerous projects that included the areas of electrical, carpentry and technical. Simply put Mr. Fit IT OC was professional, prompt, and preserving on difficult tasks. Everything was done in a timely manner and to the highest quality. read more

Paid $580 for the following work: Mailbox (provided by me) set up - it was rock hard ground - dug a hole and stick the post in it. $100 Clean up debris - $40 Diagnostic test for electrical issues in kitchen - $200. Nothing was fixed. Misc work - two deadbolts (provided by me) installed, garage door not operating (emergency pull was out of place and just needed to be reset), locking mechanism not working on French doors - repaired. Fridge water wasn't working - no line in and electrical outlet not working - not fixed. $240 When questioned how the invoice was calculated I was given sarcasm. read more

Did a decent job on the job that was completed, but did not do half of the work I had asked for (due to his own time constraints), and charged more than the estimate. So to be clear: half the work for more money than quoted. Not cool. My husband is usually our handyman and is out of commission due to chemo so calling someone was not my first choice anyway, coupled by the fact that Mike said "if it was easy you wouldn't be calling me"... Kind of assuming of him. Didn't clean up the workspace either. All in all would not use again. read more

Mr. Fix It - thank you for not failing to disappoint in your need to respond but in doing so you are making it my responsibility to point out your dishonesty on top of everything else. (Fellow yelpers, feel free to message me for proof I can provide with email screenshots) A. You knew what the job was. I told you the previous guys screwed up really bad. If calling them back was an option, why the hell did I spend time going back and forth with you?? I told you it would take at least 5 hours (by my estimate). I gave you the run through of what I wanted done. I also gave you the dimensions of the room and what constraints there were. YOU told me no problem, you can handle it and not to worry. YOU are also the one who even asked if I had all the materials purchased and ready. So please don't make it seem like you had no idea what was in store and you only declined after "realizing" it was a huge job. You told me it would take time but it was a simple fix. B. We were not "in contact" for months. Read my 1st review. I contacted you ONCE for a completely different request. I even mentioned I went with someone else because of my own urgency - nobody blamed you for that. The second contact was months later and we were then "in contact" for about 2 weeks (not months like you claim). From April 12th to April 24th (the day you showed up with your unprofessional attitude) to be exact. My timing constraints were explicitly detailed out to you in these emails. If anything, you were the one that was disorganized with your schedule - at one point you promised to call if you could finish up with another and another time you mixed me up with an appointment you had with another client when we didn't even have one set. So please don't blame my timing constraints because I gave you days where I knew the entire day (and night if needed) would be open for you to work. C. You didn't make the golf comment because you don't even golf? Fair enough, maybe it was just a figure of speech but yes, you did say those words. Hence my disgust in your professionalism because you have every right to rest but you are the one who chose to take a job. Unfortunately, I can't prove what was said but you know I had my boyfriend with me that day as a witness to your behavior. In fact, at many points he was ready to lash out on you and your rudeness. So it is what it is but you most definitely said that. D. Finally, the most blatant lie! There are NO handicapped spots directly in front of my unit. On that Sunday (and most Sundays) the lot is completely empty with maybe 5-6 cars belonging to employees. You parked your truck in the middle of the lot. It was just your truck sitting smack in the middle of the empty lot. The whole row of REGULAR parking not even 5 seconds away from our unit was open but you parked away towards the middle of the lot. But that's besides the point, park wherever you want! The point is you were walking back and forth putting one screwdriver away and bringing back a measuring tape. Then you go back to put the measuring tape away to bring back ONE screwdriver again. And so on and so forth. You hung up a few frames and tightened a few screws. How incompetent are you that you can't foresee what BASIC tools you'd need and have them ready? Please don't make up lies about handicapped spaces as an excuse for your downright shady behavior. Please don't insult my intelligence. I might not be a handyMAN but I know enough to know what you did for me is not rocket science status fixes that require complicated planning and tools. Finally, one thing I will agree with on, you can't please everyone. I know this so very well as I run my own business. I know the value of my clients, I make sure that I can deliver on my promises, I don't promise what I can't be confident of, and I also treat their time and money with respect. I try to apply the age old adage of treat others the way you'd like to be treated. Cliché? Maybe. But it mostly works. And yes, even then, you can't please them. But you? You did the exact opposite so "you can't please everyone" is not exactly the phrase we apply here. Perhaps, I'm sorry? I apologize if I disappointed you because I misunderstood the scope of the work? Mr. Fix-It - Own up to your mistakes. If you have too much pride in you to do that, staying quiet probably would have been more beneficial. Because your response was not only full of excuses but lies and misinformation to top it off. All you did was further expose the kind of person you are and the kind of business you run. The last thing I like to do is to knock someone down when they're trying to make an honest living. I'm very cautious about leaving bad reviews before I make an attempt to address any complaints. You've clearly shown me that you are the type of person I have a social duty to warn others of. Respond, make more excuses or lies, it's on you now but I think I've said enough for others to draw their own conclusions. read more

Mike came out to my house within hours of contacting him. I had a list of things for him to do. I needed two ceiling fans installed, a shelf put up, a malfunctioning toilet repaired and a leaking washing machine. Not only did he take care of all that in a timely manner, he also repaired another ceiling fan, put up a shelf in my daughter's room, fixed our garbage disposal, installed a toilet paper holder, trimmed a door stopper, and cleaned our sink! He gave me all kinds of household tips while he was working. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a handyman. He's got a great personality. His prices are very reasonable. read more

Michael is our "go to" handyman. My husband knows his way around the house but when he can't figure out the problem, we have Michael come and he always knows how to resolve it. Michael has fixed our shower valve, ice maker, dishwasher amongst other things. If he can't fix it, he knows who to send who can. He's wonderful! Can't say anything but praises! read more

I went with Michael because he was responsive, available when I needed him, and quoted a decent price based on a description of the job. Gave me a half hour window for his arrival and came a few minutes early. Got right down to business and was very efficient and well equipped. Fixed a door hinge, a screen door and a yard gate, plus removed some old hardware that was stuck on a wall. Charged $75 for an hour of work. I don't know if he has a different price structure for longer jobs. Other quotes I received were $85-95 for 1st hour of work and $55 thereafter and $87/hour + $22 service charge. read more

We had a house that needed a bunch of random work done before putting it on the market... Michael did it all. We had exterior light fixtures to install, baseboard, paint, smoke detectors, a fence to replace, irrigation timer, wireless door bell, door hardware.... the list goes on. You name it, Michael can figure out a fix for it. And for us, we didn't want to have 10 different people with 10 different specialties out at the house when we had a week to get everything done!.... We are so glad we hired Michael...he knows his stuff, he keeps his work area clean, is reasonably priced, and friendly to work with... He even stopped in between jobs to do some work just before the Realtor came out to take photos... Thanks Michael! read more

I've seen another review just like mine...if you'd like to work with someone who is easy & nice to work with, don't go here. Right off the bat, he was extremely rude. I asked him if he does closets which he then responded like I'm an idiot saying, "what do you mean do I do closets? You need to tell me what kind of work you need done. Of course I do closets". Mike- For the love of God, if you're trying to get good business, I HIGHLY suggest you're nice on the phone. Or do something that makes you happy cause you're clearly not meant to communicate with potential customers. Instead of talking to me like I'm an idiot, how about ask what exactly I need done to a closet. Good luck with you're business, I'll make sure to never recommend you. read more

Mr Fix it saved the day my daughter in her wisdom wanted an IKEA bed for the new year and we had a couple of friends try to help her get started with the assembly- they did not have the right tools or enough time to get the job done. IKEA of course will not send anyone out if you have opened the box- I caught Mr F late Saturday and he was able to go and finish the job the next morning and truly saved the day- the amount charged was very reasonable for the 10000 pieces that IKEA includes and the result looks great - we have one very relieved college sophomore, two relieved parents 400 miles away- read more

Had a problem with another plumbing company (Serve Rite). I called Michael "Mr. Fix It". He came out the next morning, was prompt.

Thank you Mr. Fix It! read more

VERY happy with the work that Michael did on my house. He was here longer than expected because we ran into some issues, but handy is an understatement. There wasn't anything he couldn't take care of. I look forward to having him back on some other items that we have already begun to make a list for. DON'T LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE! Also, be sure to book well in advance, he is very sought after! read more
