I have used Mike in the past and will use him again should I need electrical work done. He is quick to diagnose a problem, provide an explanation, and explain the proposed fix. Did I mention he is also really personable and his charges are really reasonable. read more

I needed a closet door repaired. I contacted Mike who responded quickly and made an appointment for me. Mike repaired my door and explained what went wrong and what he did to repair the door. Mike is honest, personable and his fee was very reasonable. I highly recommend Mike. read more

Very happy with Mike! Very responsive to email, came over and helped me fix a few things including a pesky door alignment, and gave me advice on how to fix or improve a few other things myself! He followed up by email promptly after his visit. I'll call him again for my future needs! read more

Mike is great! I was having trouble with my electrical, Mike came by quickly and got me sorted out. I was very impressed with the quality of his work, his communication, and his fair pricing. He will definitely be my first call for future issues! read more

Mike has been our go-to person for numerous projects. Before we hired him the first time to replace an exterior light fixture, I had contacted him years before and he gave me free advice about replacing my wall heater. He suggested I would save money and was better off just buying a space heater instead of hiring him to fix the problem. He recently did a great job installing floating wall shelves and was very respectful about maintaining a clean work surface. read more

Our office has gotten progressively dimmer over the years, to the point where I have to use a lamp on my desk. We have these awful florescent tube lights and we tried to change them ourselves but half of them didn't work (ballast issues). It was getting out of hand so we contacted Mike and he got back to us promptly and we set a time that worked for the both of us. He showed up promptly, did exactly what we asked and did a great job. His rates were reasonable and we are all happy with his work - especially the bosses. read more

Responded quickly and with a reasonable quote just as mentioned in his name. This was towards the beginning of quarantine so I didn't get a chance to work with him, but his professionalism in his communication is by far the most reliable compared to the many, many places I've received estimates for and that speaks volumes to me. Some handymen picked up the phone with the "what do you want" attitude. Some said they were booked up for months. Some told me they needed to schedule multiple round of consultations etc. Some never returned my call. I've been looking for someone to help do some light remodeling, and if schedules free up I'm definitely reaching out to Mike again. Updates to come! read more

I've used Mike for countless projects now... before every one, I get a quote from several different companies. He is always the most reasonable, and I trust him. I really appreciate how he is extremely honest about what he can/can't do. Like I said... I trust this guy and his rates are reasonable. He's not going to do a hack job at something he knows he can't do. I'd highly recommend him. Great pricing + quality work + honesty in abilities = best in SF. PS- over all these years of doing projects for me, he never even mentioned his listing on Yelp (it never popped up for some reason), and never asked me to write a review. He is the real deal. read more

Mike's name says it--reasonable and honest, but that is not all. He is also helpful and funny. I don't want his name to be out there because I want to keep him to myself. But that wouldn't be reasonable of me, would it? read more

This review is overdue, given that I contacted Mike a year ago, but better late than never, right? I asked Mike to come by to help me figure out how to install an electric bidet I recently purchased. He was prompt, super friendly, and (compared to another local plumbing company) way more knowledgeable. He knew how to install it and explained it all very clearly. Unfortunately, due to circumstances outside of his control (a broken plumbing fixture that requires shutting off water to the entire building in order to fix, which I couldn't ask him to do because I'm just a renter in the building), he wasn't able to install the bidet for me, but he gave me an action plan and best of all, he typed it all out in detail in a follow-up email so I could reference it later on and not have to scramble to jot down notes while he was explaining it to me. Even though he wasn't able to install the bidet for me (through no fault of his own), he was amazing to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to call him up again! read more

Reasonable Mike came by to install lots of wired w/ battery smoke alarms on various floors, and also explained a lot about effective fire safety practices for SF residents and homeowners & in this multi-unit building in particular. He's very personable, cost and time efficient, and will be back for many other tasks using his skills. He also says what he can and can't do which i find builds trust quickly.. Contact him! read more

Use mikes service in the past and required his services again to check on a few small items for an apartment unit ( stove, disposal, light switch n doorbell). All repaired in a timely manner at reasonable prices. Also very responsive with email replies and also take Venmo. Definitely recommend and will use again in the future. read more

I see there hasn't been a review for Mike in almost a year. I've relied on him for his dependable, reasonably priced and honest service for well over five years. When he doesn't do a particular job, he's always found someone in his network who could help me. Mike is the best and I highly recommend him. read more

I called mike our because despite being an electrician, I know where my specialty starts and ends. I never told mike I was in the trades because I wanted to see how he treats his clients. Mike does really clean work and he is more than reasonable. I'm super impressed with this guy and recommend him to anyone who wants someone you can 100% trust in your home without you or around your kids. Mike is the man. Call him. read more

Wow, what a great guy! Efficient, personable and really knows what he's doing re electrical. honest and his pricing was very fair! My go to guy from now on:-)) Thanks Mike! read more

Mike thank you for coming on short notice and helping me with a few items. I emailed Mike on Wednesday and he replied rather quickly. I let him know that I needed 2 queen size beds assembed, to fix a broken toilet seat and a broken drawer. He was able to come Friday afternoon and got the job done,well, fast and for a very reasonable rate. He was very understanding, polite and available on short notice. I will definately contact him again for future projects. read more

I had a pile of new lights and things that I needed to get replaced sitting in my living room. I tried hiring a Task Rabbit (which is what I used to always do in the past), but it seemed harder and harder to hire someone who wouldn't flake. Finally, I caved and hired Mike with a list of things to be replaced, and he was great! Super personable, friendly, and knowledgable. He charges a fair price too! He asks questions when he knows it's something particular (i.e. what length to hang a certain light, etc.) and gets the job done. He also works really fast, gives additional advice/tips, and really just does what he says he's going to (big plus if I'm being honest). Basically, all the (good) reviews are right! read more

I know it's weird, but I honestly feel like Mike is not just a handyman but my friend! Albeit, one I make a list for and pay hourly, but the time he is there is not awkward or weird. He shows up on time, He's really informative, will answer all your questions, will tell you if he can't fix it, will try to refer someone who maybe can. He also doesn't waste time, he'll ask you to make a list, send him pictures, descriptions, and gathers all the information before so when he's there he's ready to get started. Ha, actually, he sounds better than some of my friends! Anyways, part of being a homeowner means stuff is going to break and you have to fix it. Having found Mike, I no longer have anxiety or feel totally lost about this stuff! read more

Mike has been our one and only handyman since 2014. All these little jobs add up to one big pain for the homeowner. Sometimes we try to fix problems and make a bigger problem. It is so nice that Mike can always figure out how to install and repair everything. Mike is a problem solver and enjoys a challenge. Just give him a piping hot cup of coffee and he'll fix everything. This is what he did yesterday: 1. Hang a hose holder on the side of the house 2. Secure a hose holder in the backyard 3. Install motion lights over the gate leading into the backyard 4. Replace an outdoor electrical outlet 5. Install a Garage door butler 6. Remove a small section of baseboard Thank you Mike ! read more

For YEARS I have been trying to find a 1) skilled 2) trustworthy 3) reasonably priced for SF handyperson ... Mike is all these things and super, super nice to boot. He installed a couple of ceiling fixtures (light/fan) for me, advised re: plumbing, grout and leak issues...I'm excited to finally have the help I need to get moving with some long-neglected repairs/upgrades. SO GRATEFUL. All the thumbs up for Mike! read more

Came by same day to fix a minor issue (dimmer switch). Personable, prompt, fast, honest, fixed the problem at a reasonable price and made a recommendation for another job that he did not feel qualified for. Recommend highly. read more

I have used Mike once and was impressed. Second time, came, couldn't fix and pointed me in the right direction. No charge. Have his partner coming tomorrow. Hope to update my review. He contacted my In less than two hours. We emailed all the details and BAM, getting the work done. Couldn't be happier. read more

Mike is not just reasonable and honest, he is a genuinely great dude who I would call in a heartbeat for my next project. I just moved to a new place and Mike and Rich helped me work out the kinks in my new place. (With a 100+ year old building, there are interesting finds around every corner.) Replacing a few switches turned in to grounding all the switches in the apartment as well as cleaning out the wall space of any debris. Rich also walked around and fixed up a few things as he made his way around the apartment. Mike and Rich were really great to work with and I feel very safe and settled in my new home. Looking forward to calling them again soon. read more

Mike is great. He is super responsive and charges extremely reasonable prices. We hired him to replace 8 light fixtures in our home, and he did it for a competitive and fair price. His work is great; he is no-nonsense but friendly and personable; and he takes appropriate safety precautions (covid and otherwise). read more

A very quick and honest reply from Mike when I contacted him via email. He is a professional business man who actually responds to his customers. Didn't have him service my kitchen sink but he was very friendly and reasonable and for that, I appreciate his business ethnic. Thanks for your time! read more

I love when I meet a man who is a real professional in every sense of the word, who I can fully trust and rely on in getting the help I need. Mike certainly fits the bill: - He returned my initial call within 15 minutes - Really listened to understand the issues I had - Went out of his way to accommodate my schedule - Showed up early, was efficient, honest/creative/resourceful in saving my $$, very professional, friendly and overall a pleasure to be around You have my business and my referrals from now on, Mike! Thank you. read more

Mike came out to install a kitchen faucet. He gave us some brand suggestions prior. We got a Grohe faucet and he came by to install it. He was friendly and quick and showed me all the features of the faucet to make sure it was what we thought it was. (It was!) Glad to know we can call someone for little plumbing and electrical projects we aren't too sure how to do ourselves. read more

So glad that I found Mike on Yelp. He has been to my house two times now. The first time was when the pipe under my kitchen sink sprung a leak. Although he was booked when I called him, he felt bad for me and so he squeezed me in between clients. Then I hired him to do other handyman tasks. Our home was built in 1942, so the light switch was not working--I now have light downstairs in the basement again! He replaced two light fixtures--bathroom and bedroom and then when I showed him that one of the drawers in the kitchen had fallen apart--he did his magic. He also fixed three of the kitchen cabinet doors that just wouldn't close completely. He is very pleasant and really cares about your home. He has wonderful suggestions and even teaches you some things about home repair. His rates are very reasonable and he is very quick and efficient. He is someone that you can trust in your home and knows what he is doing. I highly recommend Mike. read more

Mike is really cool, fun and professional. And yes. He is as honest and reasonable as it gets. Just get in touch with him if you have any need. We messaged him Friday afternoon and he responded right away. We exchanged emails over the weekend and he stopped by Monday. That is responsive. He gave us a very reasonable quote, and judging by my previous attempts at "simple" light replacement, key replacement or plumbing work, we decide that it's better to trust to an expert for a job to be done right the first time. And he gave us an estimate right away. That is very reasonable! We made the right choice. A simple job is never that simple. We installed two motion sensor lights -- one at the front door and one at the garage. Once installed, we were excited to try them. Well they came on and... stayed on -- despite the promise in the instruction manual that they will automatically shut off. No worries. Rasonaby Honest Mike was also very patient. He made several adjustments, read and re read the manual, check and double check and waited to test the sensor. At the end of the day, the lights turned on when there is motion and turned off after a few minutes. Thanks to Mike! Oh and Mike is friendly and humorous. Go to Mike. He's just right! read more

I contacted him with some questions and he emailed back in 2 hours with an organized list of what he thought needed to be done and his fee, which seemed very fair. Circumstances changed and I decided not to do the work, but I was impressed with his professional, courteous email reply and will certainly contact him for any future work. read more

Mike is awesome. He will often walk you through quick fixes over the phone so that he won't end up coming out and charging you for something you could do yourself. He shows up on time, does the work well and his fees are very reasonable. read more

I got this message from Yelp, bear with me here for a sec: "Hi, We wanted to let you know that we've removed your review of Reasonably Honest Mike's. Your review was brought to our attention by the Yelp community, and we found that it fell outside our Content Guidelines as it did not appear to describe a firsthand customer experience. [...] Removed Content: Tried to contact him multiple times (email, voicemail message) but he never responded. Regards, The Yelp Support Team San Francisco, California" Now, I'm not sure how "Tried to contact him multiple times (email, voicemail message) but he never responded" doesn't describe a firsthand experience, but I'll just assume that Yelp wants me to provide more detail. So here it is: A few weeks ago my water heater began leaking so I went on to Yelp (awesome site btw, will delete reviews like no one's business) to find a handyman. Decided to send Mike an email about it to see if he'd be willing to take a look. This was on a Saturday. I figured it's the weekend so I'll wait a bit for his reply. By Tuesday no response. The water heater is still leaking, but the leaking is getting worse. So on Tuesday afternoon I send him another email message. By Wednesday still no response, water is still dripping out of the heater. My plants are enjoying the extra water I've been collecting from the heater to water them with. I think to myself, "OK maybe he's super busy getting a lot of emails," so I call and leave a voicemail message on Wednesday. Again no response. To his credit Mike did contact me over Yelp AFTER I posted the first review, and so I will add a star to my previously deleted review bringing it up to 2/5. read more

I found Mike's website on yelp and saw the great reviews, so I decided to try and schedule something with him. I requested to have two heavy mirrors hung at around 11am on a Thursday. Mike was very responsive and was over at my apartment by 12:30pm that same day. He was friendly and very knowledgable. He completed the job in under an hour and was full of great tips and tricks. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again in the future. read more

We've hired Mike on two occasions to replace light fixtures in older buildings. Both times he's shown a friendliness and professionalism that is just what we've been looking for. Working with Mike is straight forward. He patient, funny and will even provide insights for easier tasks so you can do it yourself in the future. I couldn't recommend him more. Go Mike. read more

Mike is a friendly, honest guy. You will be happy with his work-- he knows his stuff, will steer you right, and you won't have to worry about unnecessary work or costs. read more

Just hired Mike to install a new range hood over my stove. Mike was awesome! He was super responsive, did good work for a fair price and, as billed, was reasonably honest. read more

Mike may be the best repair man I've ever requested support from. He's long been my #1 go-to. Mike's experienced and efficient in attaining solutions, and he's honest and reasonable regarding charges for his services. I feel he's a genuinely good person and an ethical handyman who goes the extra mile to ensure his customers' best interests are supported. I highly recommend Mike! read more

Mike came by to rewire some lights in our hallway today. He took on a time consuming job, and when he left, all the lights worked without needing to buy new fixtures. He was prompt, friendly, easy to schedule with over email, and did a great job at a reasonable rate. read more

Responded to all my emails and came to my house as promised. Did my small outdoor paint job, installed 2 door awnings, and replaced 2 vent covers at a reasonable price. Will call mike for all my future small projects. read more

Mike is simply amazing. He patched up a wall and replaced an old thermostat. I learned a few things by just watching him. Great communication, excellent work! read more
