Handyman Expert

Sam responded immediately, gave us an estimate for a small horizontal fence around our front yard, to contain our energetic toddler when we go in and out of the cars. Our driveway is on a small but stupidly busily street. 2 days later it was DONE. And looks great. He even helped smooth the waters with our super cranky next door HOA president neighbor who threw a fit.

Sam and Miguel were great. Really great. They sanded and repainted an entire bathroom, installed LED lighting, installed new cabinets and a chandalier. And they did it fast. Usually when people work fast their attention to detail isn’t very good. But these guys work hard and obviously take a lot of pride in their work.
They were very professional the entire time and wanted to make sure I was happy.
Looking forward to the next project.

Sam and Miguel were so good and so fast!
They finished the work so quick and with such a good care about the place.
I extreamelly recommend there services. We hired them to sand our wood ceilings but soon we’ll get in contact to talk about future projects!

Cancelled day of. Why does he even have 5star reviews?

Sam and Miguel did an excellent job creating a Horizontal Redwood fence and gate for our property.
Sam was punctual and arrived when he said he would and completed the job on time and on budget.
I was very impressed with their work and attention to detail. I asked for ¾″
Gaps in the fence rails and it was spot on.
I would recommend Sam and Miguel to
Anyone looking for a well constructed and beautiful fence.

Sam was great did an awesome job and very friendly knows what he is doing. Highly recommend him.

Sam and Miguel did an excellent job of rebuilding a part of the bay window that was destroyed by rot from rain runoff. They used new red wood and stucco molding and did not need to remove the window, cutting and cleaning the affected area then sawing pieces to fit the removed wood. He also threw in a quick fix of some other rotten wood that was attaching a roof drain spout to the house.
Sam also had very good ideas on other projects I need addressed around the house. I will definitely use him for more. He is also very personable and a pleasure to talk with.

Other than the handymen I’ve interacted with while I lived at apartments, Sam is the first I hired myself. So I do not have a real good reference point to compare Sam to.
I hired Sam mainly because his quote was the middle of 2 other quotes I got and that he had great reviews on Unilocal.
He was hired to fix a floor board that had water damage and a leaky toilet. He completed the job plus fixed a gap in the shower door. This earned him 3 stars because he was okay. What gave him the 4^th star was his pleasantness and customer service. He was responsive and I informed him to keep me up-​to-​date. He failed to tell me he couldn’t find the matching floor board but once I called him, he pretty much called me on every play-​by-​play on when he could start. I wouldn’t knock him for failing to inform me of the progress the first time b/​c everyone is different and he didn’t know I’m a hands-​on type of person.
I couldn’t give me 5 stars mainly b/​c I only used him once and he wasn’t completely perfect. His work was fine. Even after a month no issue. I had requested an itemize bill that includes cost for all individual parts and labor. Instead, he gave me a hand written receipt of what was done, the total cost, and the deposit paid. I prefer to know what I am paying for in detail and to be assured that I am not paying for something else that has no relevance to me or the project at hand.
Overall, if I have another project, I would call Sam for an estimate.

Sammy was absolutely wonderful. He came out right away and was very reasonably priced for the job. The workmanship was top quality! This is the first time I used Sammy, and I will definitely using him for future projects.

I needed a handyman to install an aluminum screen door. I was hoping I could find someone on short notice so I contacted Sammy. He showed up at my home in 10 minutes, gave an estimate and then said that he would have the door installed later in the day. Sammy sent a couple of his workers to my home early evening and they completed the job just as planned. My experience with Sammy has been positive. I would consider hiring him again in the future.

I used Sammy twice. The first time I would rate him a 4.5 stars since I asked him to fix a door latch, fix a bathroom towel bar for a very reasonable hourly rate. The second time my wife called him and he gave her a ridiculous high estimate for a bunch of small jobs (cleaning the tub drain, snake the bathroom sink, bleach some walls, tighten a kitchen sink) — he gave a ridiculous high estimate and tried talking my wife into overly expensive fixes for a total of $ 1800. This is just not right to try to take advantage of the situation. I suspect it was because he was dealing with my wife vs. me. Second time was a 1 star. This type of upselling lacks integrity. Won’t be calling again.

Met with Sammy today and have hired him to start some jobs around r house he was prompt friendly and very courteous to be continued. So far the quality of work is superior and the crew cleans up after themselves and takes away the debris. He has built a fence for us and done some paining and woodwork. Would highly recomend.

Sammy is wonderful, I called him for an issue regarding remodeling my bathroom, I had to change my bathtub and toilet and started doing the job myself. It got to complicated and I found Sam on Unilocal,only with other handy and, he was the first to call back and have me a time frame for the job. He finished my bathroom and even painted it for me… The best handyman I have encountered yet. I will be calling him for my next project.

I found Sam through a large sweep of handymen while looking to finish my guest studio and am really happy I did! I needed a large, and weird, assortment of projects completed at once (i.e. power outlet rewiring and rerouting, light installation, designer-​tile finishing and grouting, wood-​window planing, drywall patching, and cable running) and wasn’t sure how to get it all done, but Sam and his team handled it all.
He worked within my budget to make sure we could get it all done, and after that, his team came in for 2 days and finished everything to my specifications. Sam was around the entire time but even still they would consult me when minor, unforeseen corner tile arrangement decisions had to be made (for example) and give me their opinion based on their experience. Working with Sam the first time was just a great experience and since then I’ve also used him on two other projects. Sam is now definitely my guy and I would recommend him to anyone else looking for an expert handyman that can help you with both small and really large projects, or any combination in between. Definitely give him a call as he’s so friendly and easy to work with — it will make whatever project you have, or are having trouble with, so much easier! Thanks Sam and see you next time!

Sam is great at everything he does! He is very accommodating and reliable. I had him paint an accent wall for one of my rooms, which he did very quickly and well. However, the color wasn’t exactly what I had envisioned once it dried. He redid the paint job free of charge and my accent wall looked great! I then asked him to do another accent wall in my living room. I was so happy with his service, his positive attitude, and the finished product.

what great service. i honestly do not understand the gentleman who gave him a bad review. On a more positive note, i called handy man expert and Sam showed up that same day as i needed a quick quote for many odd jobs around my house as i was getting ready to show the house because i was putting it on the market for sale. And let me tell you he did an amazing job. Not only is he great at what he does but the prices and his professional attitude left me with a very pleasant experience. I would recommend any Realtor or house owner putting his house for sale to utilize this mans expertise for any cosmetic repairs or additions. I’m glad i called Sam because the good news is my house sold the IN 2 DAYS !!!
Thank you handy man expert for a job well done.

I’m not real sure what the other reviewer is talking about here, I found Sammy to be nothing but absolutely professional. We had him come and basically fix all our issues we had in our new home. He and his crew were on time, efficient, and their quality of work was nothing short of perfect. I have already recommended him to everyone I know. Simply awesome! Do yourself a favor and give Sammy a call, you won’t be disappointed!

I complete flake, TWICE. Not sure how he got so many positive feedbacks, don’t waste your time.

Sam is an expert in custom wood fencing. His work is artistic and architectural, the finishes he uses are beautiful and durable, and the fencing matches perfectly with the rest of the property. Now the fence looks better than the house!

I had to come on Unilocal and give a good reference to Sam and his crew after the makeover they gave my house.
They remodeled both my bathrooms, took off the popcorn ceiling throughout the house, smoothed it out and repainted the entire 2 story house.
The work was done on time (1^st time a contractor finishes on time) with fair pricing. but most importantly, they were SUPER CLEAN, they blocked the areas they worked on and cleaned up everyday before leaving, so the rest of my house didn’t get trashed.
Sam will be coming back soon to redo the redwood fence around the house… gave me a great deal.
