We had a sudden leak in our guest bedroom -water running down the wall and bubbling up from the laminate floor beneath. Saturday night on a holiday weekend. We could barely sleep, especially knowing another bout of rain was coming. The following morning I called every handyman listed on Yelp that said they were open. On my 5th try James answered the phone. He was very upfront and professional. He had me email him photos and contact info. Within 15 minutes he emailed me a quote. He arrived less than 30 minutes after I emailed my confirmation back. Within 2 hours he had assessed what he needed to do and took off to get some sand bags. He tarped some areas and did some roof maintenance. He said if there were any more leaks to call him, even if it was at night. It's pouring and so far no leaks. He's honest and diligent. I can sleep tonight. Highly recommend. read more

James did an amazing job with my porch swing install! He made sure to install it safe and secure which I really appreciate! I'm so happy with my porch swing install as he had to go through my stucco. (Also did a great repair on the stucco afterwards) Thank you James! read more

Temecula Handyman Service - Porch swing - Handyman Near Me

I've used Temecula Handyman Services for many projects over the past 10 years, from replacing a gate, repairing a fence, indoor plumbing, fixing a leaking window, and building a two story castle with towers, drawbridge, and 100 feet of wall 6ft high. For a Halloween Party. It always amazes me what he can do. I recommend James for any job and will continue to use him in the future. read more

James came out and gave a great quote offering turnkey service I decided to let my older brother do it when I got back in town but I appreciate his efforts and professionalism read more

Great service by James. I contacted him yesterday and we scheduled for 3 days in advance but he had an opening come up sooner. He came today and did dry wall repair, installed a bathroom exhaust fan and also replaced a sink faucet. Super honest, very quick and really good work. We will be having him back for more work for sure. Thank you James for your great service. I appreciate it! read more

This guy is very hardworking, reasonably priced and prompt on giving a quote. I would definitely use his services again.

He replaced washer outlet box in the laudatory room. During the testing, he left one faucet open, and water shot out and landed on the laundry ground. luckily I found it within tens of seconds and shut it off. I had to help clean the water mess in the laundry room. He welded the joint between the new outlet box lower copper brass inside and copper pipe outside. He did some cleaning and welded both together and thought he did a successful high-quality job. I asked him whether there is potential leakage after welding and his warranty. He said sure he will have warranty, but he has never had to come back a second time in the past tens of years. Two weeks later, after turning on water for four days, water are on the laundry flooring. He was called during early afternoon, and he could not show up on the same day. I had to open the drywall, and found the leakage came from the joint welding mentioned above. Emailed him and talked to him again the second day, then he said he will charge everything ($75 travel fee + material fees related to welding) except labor saving $50/hour for two hours for re-soldering even if that solves the problem. That is his warranty. Then he kept talking on the phone all other possibilities like corrosion might cause the issue and copper pipes might need to be replaced. He kept talking how much efforts he has tried last time, he has over 40 years of experience, if he could not do the job, that is not due to being out-of-skills and the copper pipe is to be blamed. Last and not least, his warranty is just labor free for re-welding, even if corrects the issue. Otherwise, you need to spend more money replacing the copper pipes which he claims to have corrosion inside. So, he can find a bunch of reasons to a layman, and then concludes he has experience, and you can go away to find another handyman to fix the issue out of his work. PS: yes. I followed his instruction, and did find a handyman one day later, fixed the leakage issue due to the poor welding on the joint by Temecula handyman service. The new handyman welded one time, and double checked no marginal leakage. This new handyman has only about 7 years of experience with pluming fixing, and he does a really high-quality job. He also explained how the welding could have been poorly made before. read more

I had called him to install a surround sound system. The work he did installing the speakers in the ceiling was good. He spent about an hour trying to figure out how to make the sound come through when the tv is on. He charged us for all 5 hours, including his lunch time and the time trying to figure out where the wires go from the tv, to the surround system, to the tv cable box. He also charged us almost $50 for a travel fee which I was completely unaware of, although we only live about 15 minutes from Temecula so Im not sure. The frustration lies in that we had to call someone else and pay again to have someone fix the connections and make the sound system actually work. I expressed some concerns with him and he told me to do the work myself next time. Not very professional. read more

I had a ceramic shelf over the top of my toilet that I wanted removed because it limited the access to the bowl. I couldn't get my arm in there to do any work if needed. He removed the shelf painted,and made it look like it was never there. Exactly what I wanted read more

James was wonderful. I was in desperate need of two bathroom fans to be fixed, a screen made (as it had holes in it and frame was broken) and the sink stopper replaced. He did a wonderful job, was very quick and did not mind explaining things to me. His work was well worth what he charged (which I consider very reasonable). I too found him on Yelp and he was on time, which was appreciated. James was also willing to increase the scope of his work at the last minute when I added the screen to the list of things for him to do. I found James very likeable, friendly and trustworthy which is important for an older woman. To summarize: he did an excellent job, well within estimated budget and time, was professional and flexible. Cleaned up after himself, etc. I will be recommending him to my family and friends within this area. Thank you James!! read more

We contacted James for a job and his customer service is amazing. He was extremely responsive and he took the time to research our project and explain to us exactly what needed to be done. I had never before had a handyman take the time to contact a company about their product before even doing the job. We have had many bad experiences with businesses we found on Yelp and our interaction with this business is one of the few bright spots. read more

I needed someone to fix the wall on the garage of the home I am renting where my wife crashed her car. It was like a shot in the dark that I found him. Quite by chance I might say. James arrived on time like he said he would. My last quote told me he had to replace this replace that and would cost me. Glad I found him. Two things we look for in a contractor. SKILLS and HONESTY. His skills mirrors his honesty. When the job was done you wouldn't know something was repaired. EVERYBODY LISTEN PLEASEE. THIS IS THE GUY YOU WANT TO FIX YOUR HOUSE. Like a surgeon you trust to do brain surgery on you. Trust me Thanks James. read more

I wont ever call this guy again. If you want someone that wont show up and say they will here you go. Sorry for a bad review but 7 am is to early to wake up just to have someone else come and do the job that he said he would do. read more

This was not an easy job; the installation of a complex kitchen moved from one site to another. It involved cutting into a 12" concrete slab, running plumbing and electrical lines to an island, sealing the trench, repairing cabinets that were busted during the move, installing dishwasher, stove and garbage disposer, hanging more cabinets in another area, sheet rock and finishing. Excellent, professional workmanship, always early to the site, never stopped working for the eight hour day. Truly the personification of you get what you pay for. read more

Everyone should have a "handyman". James and Temecula Handyman Service did an awesome job installing new hardwood flooring in my house the other day. While he was on the job, I forgot to mention to him that I also ordered the new dishwasher, so he ended up installing new floors and the dish washer...and reinstalling (fixing) my "mess" (sink faucet). The great thing about James is, he shows up on time and he knows what he is doing!!! It's rare now days. So if you need a reliable service, give him a call, I am sure you will not be disappointed. read more

James has been installing carpet in basically the entire second floor of my house. It is not a small job. It looks flawless. I am super impressed by his attention to detail and his professionalism. I do not doubt he is capable of doing most anything; I'm grateful for this since we have so many other projects coming up that we will need his help with. I highly recommend him. read more

James came out to haul off some garbage items for me. I have no truck and was moving. He even waited extra 30 min for me to arrive.. He was professional and courteous. Highly recommend his service! read more

James is a true professional AND a rock star! He looks half crossed between Christopher Loyd and Hulk Hogan. He's one of the nicest guys we've met so far here in the Temecula area. He showed up for work exactly when he said he would, charged me an up-front, honest price, and made the stucco on the back of my house look like new again. I had holes and cracks in my stucco and James was able to make these virtually disappear - he color matched the stucco very nicely. I also had him help me mount some TV's and he hooked up my old archaic surround sound system. The guy is a wiz! I also really appreciated that he didn't make my wife or I feel bad about asking him to remove his shoes (she is Asian, so it's a cultural thing .. PLUS we had just installed new wood floors and had just paid to DEEP CLEAN the house). He said it only takes a few seconds to remove his shoes and NO PROBLEM. Other service providers have scoffed at us in the past for asking them to remove their shoes or wear shoe covers. I really appreciate his sensitivity to our needs. I will DEFINITELY be calling him back in the not to distant future to rebuild/repaint my wooden gate and to finish off the stucco work. I HIGHLY recommend him as a TRUE handy man for any tasks you might need him to help you with. read more

I had a faucet that needed replacing. James to the rescue!! He was punctual, tidy, efficient and completed the job in less than an hour. His hourly rate was fair. However, I found the mileage charge of $37.50 to be quite high. Especially since I was only a little over 8 miles away and the current 2103 Standard Mileage Rate is 56.5 cents per mile. That being said, I will call him again and would recommend James for your household repairs. read more

We have been using James Thomason for 2 years and he has always done a superb job with our repair needs. He is reliable, cleans up after himself and his prices are very fair. We just recently needed him to put together a sideboard we ordered. We called him around 4pm in the afternoon and he came at 8pm the same evening to put it together. I would highly recommend James for any handyman needs. read more

James Thomason, is The Temecula HandyMan for the job! He was professional, and knowledgeable of the work needed to be done; and brought the tools required. James did a excellent job on the PreGra install of artificial turf/lawn. His work was fast and labor very reasonable. I highly recommend James for this type or any big or small job you may need done! Definately, another very satisfied customer! Fran W , Temecula CA read more
