Executive Handyman & Contracting Services

I am giving one star ONLY because Unilocal doesn’t have a spot for negative stars! Nathan, the owner of this company, will promise you the world, but will not follow through with any of his promises. He will not show up when he says he will, he will not use the quality materials he says he will, he will not complete the work in the time frame agreed upon, he will not complete the job for the amount of money agreed upon, he will not follow standard industry guidelines in whatever he is doing. What he will do is ask for too much money down, tell you after he’s started the job that he needs more money, make excuses for why he isn’t showing up at scheduled times (many times), make excuses as to why he isn’t answering his phone, then attempt to make you feel sorry for him with all of his excuses. Please save yourself all the wasted time, money, and grief I put up with in dealing with Nathan and his shoddy workmanship. I could have taken him to Small Claims Court (because I would easily have won) but ultimately decided to just cut my losses and hire another company to redo his work. Life is too short to waste time on losers, and that is exactly what he is! Run, don’t walk to the next advertised handyman!

I beg you, please don’t waste your time with Nathan. I can’t tell you how bad of a job he did on a simple project. He didn’t show up (no call/​no show), then when he finally did show up, he showed up late. Demanded more money during the job. Seriously unbelievable. A year later, and I had to pay to have it redone by someone that actually knew what they were doing. Please message me if you’d like more information.

I called Nathan on a Saturday, and he started work on the Monday. He’d have started that day if I’d needed, but I wasn’t quite prepared. I’d called a number of different handymen, but working downtown Los Angeles seemed to be a deterrent. With concerns regarding parking, loading, over all difficulty working in the neighborhood. Nathan didn’t have a problem with any of that. In fact i have no idea where they parked, how they loaded and unloaded, because he did it without a hitch and no words of difficulty.
I had a hit list a mile long that included Installing a new ceiling in a metal roofed bedroom. I was unsure if his «handyman» status would cover that, ie drywalling, insulation, but he assured me it did, and after meeting him, instantly liking his smiley straightforward manner (and getting a very reasonable quote) I decided to give him and his guys the job.
Apart from the ceiling there was painting and electrical. Turns out my electrical was trickier than anticipated. Nathan in not a licensed electrician, which I knew, and instead of Mickey Mouse-​ing the job he let me know ahead of time that it was a job for an electrician, and that portion of the job needed to be to code and safe. He called a few different guys, got quotes, and stuck around while they did the job. Yes, pricier than anticipated, but to code and not a fire hazard. Which I fully appreciate.
Nathan and his workers are trust worthy, kind, and respectful of property and space. His time frame for the job was a little under estimated, for sure, but on the most part he kept to budget, which was very fair, and got the job done in a timely and professional manner. If all I can complain about is a few extra days of dust and paint fumes than anticipated, then I really shouldn’t complain at all.
All in all my working with Nathan was a great experience, and ill call him again once I get to phase 2 of unpacking, ie hanging pictures, hooking up the water filter on my refrigerator, and building a wardrobe.

Nathan and his guys came in and worked the job absolute perfection. I needed a small room floored and completed, they took their time, and delivered a great finished product. As well as cleaned up after themselves. Great group p doing great work for a great rate. Highly recommended!

Great guy really helped me finish everything I needed thanks Nathan

I found Nathan on Unilocal!I needed a few things to be done around the house such as install some shelves, hang up heavy art work, and to fix a water pressure issue with my sink. Nathan came right as scheduled and on time. He was able to help me with all the issues. He was proficient and speedy. Nathan is not cheap but definitely a skilled and friendly handyman. This guy is a cool dude.

I know that he has two Unilocal pages so I’ll post it here as well.
My original review is below however, I’m changing it to a one star because his workers kept contacting me AFTER the job was finished and asked me to pay them. Not once, not twice, not three times but several times. Unfortunately, they did the SAME exact thing to my neighbor after I recommended them to her and before they started calling for payment after the fact. What an embarrassment. I swear that they are all in on it and scamming people. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.
I called to ask for a quote to remove vegetation and pour concrete for my small back patio. Nathan was able to accommodate my schedule and met with me later that same evening. He was prompt with the appointment and walked through every step as to what he would do. His pricing was very competitive and after interviewing a few others, I hired Nathan. The very next day, he started the job.
He told me that it would take one day to remove the vegetation, cap the sprinklers, level, pour concrete and do drainage. His crew was there early and by the end of the morning (at 11am), I had has asked Nathan to give me a quote for another job (my front patio that’s about 200 SF). Yes, he was that far ahead of schedule.
Nathan was very responsive on the phone, always answering it when I called. He has clear communication throughout the process and will call you if there are any issues. I am very pleased thus far with his job on my back patio and hope that my front patio (removal of 40-​year old glued down artificial turf, pouring of concrete and staining the cement) will turn out just as nicely. I’ll Unilocal about that job when it’s complete.

we called nathan to install a custom shelving unit in our office, and he arrived less than an hour after an initial call to give us a cost estimate and to let us know how long it would take to install.
we scheduled a time for the next day, and he called 30 min prior to let us know he was on his way, and arrived on time. he brought one helper, and they were both so polite and efficient.
his price was 50% less than others, and we are very pleased with his service and attention to detail. the final result looks great!
thanks nathan! we’ll definitely give you a call if we need some more work done!

Nathan was brought in to do some quick household repairs. We agreed he would show Monday at 9am. He was a no show and called at about 9:30 to let me know. We rescheduled for Tuesday at 9am. He didn’t come until 10am. He worked for a couple hours and then was to finish on Thursday beginning at 9am. He did not show up until 10:45am. In the end, the work was great, but the price was ridiculous and when I asked him to ‘line item’ how much each thing cost he told me he didn’t have time for that and would only give me a sum total.
Nice guy, fine work, but needs time management skills and to realize that clients have lives and can’t sit on the couch waiting for him to show. Additionally, he must be dreaming if he thinks that his pricing is fair.
I don’t recommend.
Nathan, in addressing the inevitable retort you will give, I withheld the full amount of your payment because you tried to call me on Christmas Eve when I was with my family. And I also wanted to prove a point that if you inconvenience me, I will inconvenience you.

Totally polite, helpful and hardworking dudes. The showed up on time, and got right to work. They fixed a massive crack in the drywall above my fireplace, and about a million other small ones. Reasonable price, but more importantly, they just seemed like trustworthy guys. I’d use them again.

Nathan gets the job done well. Quality handymen are hard to find, but you can trust Nathan to get the job done. He retiled 2 bathrooms for me and ensured that I liked the color. He also said if there were any issues he would come back and help me fix it for free.
I didn’t give him five stars is that he often runs late, which makes it hard to schedule with him if you don’t live at the property he is fixing.
Update: I ad to change my original 4 star rating to 3 because it’s been a couple weeks now and the grout near the doorway is crumbling. Also the toilet was not put on correctly and it was wobbly — I had to have my friend take the toilet off and re bolt it to the bathroom floor, a which point I found out the toilet was not put on straight and when readjusted, the new tile that was hidden under the toile before ws unfinished.

After countless attempts on trying to settle with Nathan on the piss poor job he has done, I have come to the conclusion that Nathan is a full fledged procrastinator & a person with no integrity. He makes appointments that seem impossible for him to keep. I have lost out on lots of money & Nathan has caused me nothing but headache & grief. I think the only reason he has good reviews is because he put them there & others have left negative reviews but he has paid them to remove them. Do yourself a favor & look for another handyman service before you end up like me, a victim.

Nathan arranged to have someone come and rebuild a step for us and we are very satisfied with the result. I can’t give him a higher rating because he has considerable difficulty in keeping appointments, but in the end we were happy with the work of the contractor he sent to us.

The guys were on time, did a great job at a reasonable price. Had them work on windows, cabinetry & a plumbing project. Would use again.

Needed help installing an appliance. After being flaked on by numerous craigslist handymen and quoted ridiculous prices by bigger companies, Executive Handyman came to the rescue.
The handyman was quick (same-​day service), affordable, and did the job right within 30 minutes.
