After work was done.

If you are looking for a reliable, professional, kind and efficient Handyman it will be Sergio. I had a water pipe burst and first contacted several contractors who quoted expensive prices. Glad to find Sergio who was able to: - Drywall repair; replace and installed laminate wood flooring in the bathroom; installed base molding in family room and bathroom; installed a new toilet; new window blinds and wallpaper removal. - Kitchen- installed cabinet hardware, kitchen backsplash, installed new sink and garbage disposal and ceiling lighting fixture. -Family room he installed window trim, cut mesh for new window screens. - For my backyard he cut/trim 15 ft+ high trees. I am so impressed on how knowledgeable he is and the detailed, meticulous work that he and his assistant provided. He would also go out of his way to pick up supplies at Home Depot and left everything work area so clean. I highly recommend Sergio. His pricing was very reasonable especially for the quality of his work. He was also very responsive with communication and was promptly on time. I attached some before and after pictures.

Found Sergio through yelp. We had our son's birthday party coming up and needed to install some shade sails with short notice and time frame and Sergio came to the rescue! In about 6 hrs he installed 2 16.5" triangular shade sails with 3 wooden posts and attached them to the house! It turned out better than we could imagine! Will definitely be using Sergio for future projects! Thanks again!!!

We're new to San Diego and are glad we found Pelayo Handyman Services! So far he's installed two bathroom fans/lights in our home and helped us locate a hard to find part for our bathtub faucet. I felt his prices were fair and competitive compared to others in the area. He was also very professional he got the job done quickly. I will definitely call him back with any additional issues we may have and for future upgrades we're planning in our new home.

Precise And beautiful work by Pelayo handyman services

Sergio Pelayo and his assistant Jorge just finished three weeks of work on our bathroom remodel. They did absolutely top quality work. They are professional and organized. Every day they arrived promptly at 8 o'clock. They were personable and easy to work with, and kept a steady pace all day. They had great attention to detail... I told Sergio he is more picky than I am LOL. In addition every day they completely cleaned up all their tools and left the floor and everything else in pristine condition For the next day. Another thing I really liked is that Sergio will tell you if he is not comfortable doing a particular job rather than just trying to bull through it. He also clearly has a lot of experience in construction and is familiar with a lot of issues that come up.

Excellent work. Installed by Sergio.

Good man with a good set of finishing skills. Someone who follows through and doesn't do a half ass job on the way out.

Sergio did a very thorough job from installing fans to drywall work to paint, and a bunch of smaller stuff as well.

This was the second time we hired Preston to tackle some things around the house. He arrives on…read moretime to the minute and gets right to work. His prices are very reasonable. He replaced a tub drain in our 78-year-old home where the crossbars had rotted out, replaced the tub spout, fixed the weak flow in the sink, and re-caulked the tub. It looks practically brand new now. I've attempted this in the past and let's just say it wasn't anywhere near as neat as Preston's. The first time he came out he installed two barn doors and they look and work great. Pretty sure this would have costed twice as much with a plumber, if not more. Highly recommend!

Apparently I made a big mistake hiring the Unstoppable Handyman to come out (April 2026) to do some…read morework around my place. The job they agreed to was caulk the bathtub, check the water pressure kitchen sink, look into stabilizing a spigot in the bathtub. The fact they charged me over 32% more than there estimate wasn't even the worst part. I was charged $40 to look at the spigot for them to "make recommendations" after he said he wasn't licensed plumber, which I agreed to. In writing agreement $270 work order, apparently an "estimate" they emailed me. After the work, they charged me $358. I paid this but asked why the price increase? They said the "cost of material" (to caulk a bathtub??) and to caulk around the shower door block guide, which was maybe a few square inches to do. You'd think this would be included in price to caulk the tub, but apparently not. None the less, the caulking work looked good. But here's the problem - and it's a big one. I waited 2 days before using the tub/shower after the caulking to allow drying time. Finally when I used the shower, I noticed the spigot was stabilized, but when I reached down to the spigot to turn the water off, I noticed water coming out from the marble tile. I called and spoke to Preston, who is the owner of Unstoppable Handyman as well as performed the basic work. I explained the spigot was leaking water from behind the wall and I needed someone to come out ASAP to look at it. I sent him a video of me turning on the water, showing water running out from inside the wall. During our brief phone conversation, Preston stated that he's not licensed to do plumbing. He denied causing the leak. He told me, "I didn't touch your pipes," but he admitted to removing the spigot which is connected to the copper pipe. He told me that the original worker who installed the bathtub faucet (spigot) "didn't do the work correctly" and he is "liable"... "it's not up to code"... telling me it wasn't anything that he had done. Here's a logical question - if he didn't touch the plumbing, how does he know how it's "not up to code" or improperly assembled? He already said he's not licensed. I asked him if he removed the bathtub spigot and he said that he did, to spray a "backer foam" to stabilize the spigot. I told him it wasn't leaking before, it's leaking now, and when I asked him if he was going to send someone to fix it, he said no, he would not send anyone or take responsibility for the leak. Before I terminated the phone conversation with Mr. "Preston" I told him I was going to review his business on Yelp, Google and that I would also be putting in a consumer complaint with Unstoppable Handyman with the (BBB) Better Business Bureau, which I have every intention of doing. Preston retaliated during our phone conversation, telling me he was going to report me to my condominium HOA, as he made the false assertion I hired "an unlicensed plumber" who originally did the work, which was totally false. The only one performing unlicensed plumbing work was Preston, when he removed the spigot. Removing a spigot is considered basic plumbing work, which "Preston" admitted to in order to spray a foam behind the tile. Pipes can be damaged when twisting off the spigot if not done properly. My original contractor who installed the shower, Steve Miller, was not only a licensed plumber by trade, he holds a general contractor's license who builds entire houses. I called unstoppable handyman to do this work, mostly caulking, because Steve was in 29 palms building a house. After I called and spoke to Steve explaining the situation, that the guy is a handyman who doesn't have a license to plumb but he removed the spigot, "it's now leaking from behind the marble wall," Steve said the guy probably broke the solder on the pipe joint when he twisted the spigot off. Contractor Steve said the marble tile above the bath tub around the faucet is likely going to have to be removed now to repair the pipe. Contractor Steve asked if Preston offered to refund me, I told him, "no. He denies causing any damage." Steve recommended reporting him to the 'state licensing board' - only problem - I don't even believe Preston is licensed. I'll check. I will be filing an official consumer complaint with the BBB against the business, Unstoppable Handyman. There's no telling how much water could have ran down behind the wall under the bath tub when i showered on Sunday, which could cause floor damage as well as cause a mold problem. The tub and shower can't be used now until I have it repaired by a qualified licensed contractor, which will cost hundreds of dollars if not thousand(s). After I file my complaints against "Preston" with unstoppable handyman (Better Business Bureau, state contractor board licensing ) I might elect to take some time off from work to persue legal action to recoup my financial losses on this. That said, this Yelp review isn't the end, I'm just getting started!
