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.

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.

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.
