Eric came to our home to replace two old and crooked doors. He was on time, friendly, and professional. Also, affordable! He did a fantastic job and we will definitely use his services in the future! Update: We had Eric come out to install a bathroom exhaust and fix our fan and he did a great job on both! Very much recommend. read more

Very very disappointed in the work and quality. Eric put up my 3-shelf furniture and drilled many holes to put it up. I discovered it when I took down the shelf to recenter it. I ended up hiring someone else to fix it. The shelf was not centered, he didn't use Mollies to anchor the screws and he also damaged the wall and didn't tell me until I noticed it. He said he was going to fix and center for free but he was going to charge me $150.00 to patch a 4x4. I didn't mind him coming back but after I saw the damage he did I feel he lacks experience and I didn't want to take the risk and my shelf coming out of the wall. He is a nice guy but definitely should be watched from start to finish. He even covered my outlet with the shelf which I can only use one of the two outlets. Anyway, I don't think he's a shady person, just not attention to detail and just macgyvered the job. You also might want to have him communicate as to what he is doing so you can see his work progress. He may be able to do simple projects but not putting up a shelf. read more

Great customer service and quality of work. Eric is very polite, professional and honest. He arrives on time and if something changes he is quick to inform you. So far, he has done 5 things for me in my home including painting, baseboard replacement, wallpaper installation, lock replacement, and replacing my bifold closet door with a barn door (which required opening the wall for stud mounting) and repairing the drywall. Eric does good work, has reasonable prices and is serious about meeting customer expectations. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend if you are looking for a good handyman/ contractor -as most home owners know, they are hard to find. read more

MZ Handyman - Wall paper installation - Painters Near Me

Sent request to hang our exterior custom Bahama style shutters. Within 1 hr received a call from Eric, a quote in the evening and installation 2 days later. From the beginning he was eager and wanted the job. Although we were apprehensive to use a handyman every contractor we called turned out to be cost prohibitive and weeks out for installation. We couldn't be happier. Eric took pride in his work, carefully handled our newly built and painted shutters and was extremely conscientious of caring for our home (that was just newly painted too). He patched and touched up paint as needed. It was a huge job for 1 person and talking about how he'd approach the work built trust he could do the job. Eric was confident and accepted our input and suggestions along the way. We realized significant cost savings and would not hesitate to use him again. read more

Just want to provide context. I asked the handyman to replace the garbage disposal and microwave. He quoted $200 for both labor works which i agreed. When he arrived, he mentioned there is some sink/garbage disposal pipe need be replaced and I had to pay extra $70, which we also agreed. I paid $270 for all. When I asked invoice, he is going to charge me 8% more for copy of invoice. Then, when the garbage disposal was leaking on same night due to clearly his mistake (no gasket is applied), he was not taking any responsibility even with evidences. He was blaming left and right and including now old sink, the chosen brand new garbage disposal is bad (altho high review in amazon), or the gasket was only paper (not true). Nonetheless he said he can fix but ask for more gas money ($50). We then decided to have other handyman to fix and the issue is now resolved. Long story short, i had zero trust of this person. read more

I asked Eric to come by to replace an existing front door with a replacement (not pre-hung). This required him to fit the replacement door into the existing door's frame which is pretty challenging. I also asked him to replace an old toilet with a new one. Eric arrived early and put down material on the floor. He had the toilet replaced in less than an hour with no mess. The old toilet's wax ring was leaking so the tiles around the base of the toilet were soiled. He cleaned those tiles during the replacement process. Replacing the door was more challenging because the door was a little taller than the existing frame allowed so he cut the bottom of the door incrementally to make it fit as snug as possible. The new door had a latch at a different height than the old one so he had to cut a new opening in the existing frame for the new latch. The replacement door opened in the opposite direction of the existing one so Eric turned the hinges and door around. This required him to remove the door handle and lock. He installed a new lock. The new lock left no room for the handle to be reattached- Eric was able to adjust the lock position so that the handle could be reattached. The door and lock look great. He charged very reasonable prices for both services. He cleaned up all the mess and was very professional throughout. Highly recommended. read more

BEWARE: ERIC DOES BAD WORK AND IS BOTH A LIAR AND A CHEAT. After reading a number of good reviews, I hired Eric to replace the lockset on our front door, a job he said he was qualified to do. That was a mistake--please read the below so you can learn from my misplaced trust and save yourself time, money, energy, and a headache. When Eric arrived, it quickly became clear he had no idea what he was doing, and ignored the detailed, step-by-step instructions that accompanied the lock. (This was the same make and model of the old lock, so no new holes needed to be drilled in the door...it was a simple swap.) He made no effort to put down a drop cloth or any protection for my floors, and complained the entire time he was working. After he finished, the thumb turn on the inside of the door was off by 90 degrees (unlocked at 3 o'clock and locked at 6 o'clock instead of unlocked at 12 o'clock and locked at 3 o'clock), but Eric assured us this was the correct way to install the lock. A few days later, the lock could no longer be operated by the key, so I reached out to Eric who angrily asserted he did nothing wrong and if he came out to fix his mistake and HE decided he had made none, he would charge an additional $50 for his time. (He claimed that the lock had broke on its own or it was a "natural error...after less than a week of use.) I was positive he was at fault, so I initially agreed, but quickly changed my mind and consulted a licensed locksmith (Dup-A-Key in Pacific Beach - great work and very professional). Per the locksmith: "The inside thumb turn of the lock was installed upside down with the timing of the tail piece being off a little and bent. I flipped the thumb turn and adjusted the timing so the cylinder and tail piece would properly actuate the deadbolt without retracting it when removing key." When I shared this with Eric, he rejected it as a lie on my part...an effort to wrongly get the $95 from him that I paid the locksmith to repair his shoddy work. He said he needed more "proof" that it was his error. When I asked what kind of proof, he repeatedly shouted, "I don't know!" Then he finally said that if I got a statement from the locksmith as to exactly what he did wrong--and sent pictures--, he'd Venmo me the $95 I spent. Keep in mind--I wasn't asking for a full refund of the $180 I paid Eric to do this job (badly), but just my additional cost for the locksmith. So I obliged, sharing pictures, the locksmith's receipt, offering their phone number for him to get the facts, shared a text message from the locksmith with explicit details of all Eric's blunders, and even offered to go with Eric to the locksmith in person to clear this up. He declined and, even after I got and sent all his "proof," he never gave me my money back as he'd promised and stopped returning my texts and phone calls. From our text messages: "HIM: No I want prof of what the problem was ME: How much clearer can I be-you installed the locking mechanism upside down, and during install you bent the lock's tailpiece A PB locksmith just charged me $95 to repair your mistake. Making a mistake can be honest, but you need to own that mistake and make it right. How can you act like you did nothing wrong? What do I gain from having to deal with this? HIM: Am I supposed to believe you? With any prof ME: So the receipt from the locksmith isn't sufficient? Why would I make this up? HIM: Send prof I'll send you the money. Haha, because you can get $ 95 And I don't know you. This are just facts don't take it personal. Send me prof I'll send you your $95." You don't want this unprofessional, unqualified, dishonorable and disreputable menace in your home or part of your project. Making a mistake is acceptable, but refusing to own up to that mistake and then lying once you've said you will make good on an error is adding insult to injury. Eric is a blight on the handyman community and should not be allowed to hurt others with more bad work - I'm pursuing an inquiry into the legality of his business through local and state agencies...I want him out of circulation and unable to damage other's property. Look elsewhere for work to be done- Eric M. is a liar and a cheat. read more

We hired Raul to even out a wall in the kitchen along with patch work and painting. Raul did an awful job with the texturing as seen in the pictures. We have to now hire someone new to fix his job as he was not willing to come back and fix it all. The entire wall is patchy all around and you can visibly see all of the work he did. He does a good job on putting up the dry wall but is not good at texturing. We had asked him to texture the wall to match the rest of the walls and he could not do it but he did collect his money even though it's outside his scope of work. He tried to tell us that it is because it is a ceiling and it's hard to do. The other downside is that his timing is always off and he does not deliver on his set time expectations. We had hired Raul in the past but due to his work ethic and unprofessionalism I would not recommend him. read more
