Company Overview

I have extensive experience in electrical installations, plumbing systems, woodworking, installing and fixing appliances, assembling and repairing furniture, patching and painting, fixing irrigation systems, rain gutter repairs, deck and fence restoration, interior design, car repair and restoration, setting up home theaters and audio systems, and additional areas not listed. Having a fine arts degree helps my finishing skills and visual aspects when needed. Please take a look at my photos showcasing some of my completed projects.

Following my travels and three years of living overseas, I established ABC Maintenance in Santa Cruz, CA. I enjoyed great success for over a decade, satisfying numerous customers who still refer me today. I relocated to San Francisco in 2006 for a new opportunity and have successfully set up ABC Maintenance to serve the local community. I am also a member of the revamped Cole Hardware Home Repair Referral Service.

Hello, I’m Aaron Cohick, the owner and sole operator of ABC Maintenance. From a young age, I have enjoyed figuring out how things work, designing, and repairing them. Instead of throwing away broken toys, I would disassemble them to learn how to fix them, which sparked my journey of self-education and skill development for my business.

I am passionate about laughing and reflecting on life, traveling, loving nature, playing soccer, hiking and camping, restoring classic sports cars, DJing at local gatherings, attending live music events, dancing with friends, engaging in visual arts, watching indie films, discussing philosophy, cycling, being mindful, embracing simplicity, and exploring permaculture.

I appreciate your time and consideration. Sincerely, Aaron.

Add my name to another very satisfied customer. Aaron is extremely professional, prompt and very fair.

I got Aaron's contact information from Cole Hardware after four other handyman services never got back to me. I needed a door replaced and security features added to that door and another door - both exterior. He also installed new security lights.

His pricing is easy to understand, has no hidden fees or small print and he honors his bid. I am so glad I found him and will use him again - in fact, he will be my first call!

One word of advice to anyone calling or emailing him. He is a single proprietor business, so be patient. HE WILL call you back but it may take him a day to do so. He got back to me w/in 24 hours each time I contacted him with a question.

Here's my experience: My chair broke. I looked on Yelp and found Aaron, and based on the reviews, I decided to call him. We set an appointment for him to come out a couple of days later which was the best time for me. On the day of the appointment, he called an hour or so before our appointment time to say he could come earlier or he could come at the time we had set. It so happened that my schedule had changed and that earlier worked better for me, so he came early. That really worked well for me.

When he arrived, he was polite, professional, friendly, and efficient. He had the tools he needed with him. He fixed what was broken in the chair, and then tightened some of the other screws that had become a bit loose, so now the chair is stronger and more stable. In talking about the chair, we saw another problem that both that chair and another chair in the room had. He fixed that problem too - on both chairs. I paid him his fee which I considered to be quite reasonable, and then he left. Done!....Chair fixed. Cross that off the to-do list (which felt good!).

I can't think of any criticism or constructive suggestion to make. He came, was totally professional and had a good attitude, did a great job, charged a reasonable fee, and left. What more can you want? 5-stars.

Thank you Aaron for a great job helping me out around the house. I appreciate how easy it was to make the appointment as well as get things done. I look forward to working with you again and will definitely recommend you to friends and neighbors!!

I have used Aaron for 2 projects now, and have been extremely happy with his work. One was installing track lighting over a stairway, which he did very well, and the second was replacing and adjusting old, falling apart ""european"" hinges on kitchen cabinets. The cabinet job was one where I had previously hired another handyman who was defeated by the project. I was so discouraged, I figured I would just live with cabinet doors sagging and refusing to close properly. Then I took a chance on Aaron and he totally fixed all my cabinets for a very reasonable price. I have complete confidence in his abilities and his honesty.

Summary: Aaron is a wizard. You will not regret hiring him for any kind of project, large or small. He'll get it done with superb integrity and style.

I am the lucky beneficiary of the superb work that Aaron does, from conjuring the perfect custom closet with lighting and shelves, to fixing shoddy rooftop drainage systems, touching up paint, putting in pet doors/equipment, and installing/trouble shooting a state-of-the-art entertainment system. The list goes on. Aaron has such a gift for both simple and complex creative solutions to everyday quandaries, not to mention a real eye for the aesthetics of a proposed project. Add integrity and a wonderful capacity to explain exactly what he's doing and why... really the whole package. I am really impressed by his skills and work ethic, and could not be happier with the results of his efforts.

I also appreciate how conscientious he is with cleaning up after every day so I can live in the house while he's working, sometimes for weeks at a time for more complex projects that involve knocking down walls. He's incredibly trustworthy and does a better job of locking up the house to keep out hooligans than I am, although I'll admit that this hooligan has had to climb through the pet door a few times to get back in the house. Bonus points for being great with the four dogs we have around the house.

I contacted ABC maintenance service for a wooden furniture scratch repair after seeing good reviews on yelp. Aaron Cohick was very responsive on email and also arrived on time to do a free assessment. I did not use his service because the scratches weren't noticeable enough and didn't really deserve a repair. He suggested that and I would definitely like to praise him for his honesty.

However I would like to point out that his estimate for another wood work related project was a bit pricey i.e. over $200 for the kind of work.

He didn't try to cheat me out by fiddling with the furniture unnecessarily to milk money. In fact he clearly stated that it was not his area of expertise so 5 stars for that. He was friendly and polite and also knowledgeable.

Thank you Aaron for arriving on time and hanging an 85lb artwork in my dining room. It's been a few months since he did this job, and it's is still up on the wall :)

I called Aaron at the last minute to help me put together a bunch of IKEA Items. So here is why you should work with Aaron:
- He accommodates last minute requests and shows up on time
- He puts things together real quick
- He understands placement of furniture and advices on overall setup
- He does not give up on "" the bed from hell"" Ikea Sultan Slats
- He is reasonably priced

Oh and I forget he is a good guy

All in all Aaron has re-enforced my faith in the fact that you can setup an entire house in 4 hours and not lose much sleep.

I found Aaron on yelp, and very glad I did. He is very knowledgeable, fairly priced, and did good quality work. I had several things that needed to attention in our building - door bell, water heaters and exhaust, door planing. He came over and gave an on target quote, went to the supply store to get the parts, then was back again to fix everything. He finished all these jobs in an afternoon, as well as a couple more I tacked on when he gave good advice on how to address a couple problems cheaply and effectively. I will definitely call him the next job I have. I am already planning to replace an oven - which he gave some useful advice on.

A of ABC Maintenance always showed up on time, gave me a realistic estimate, and got on with the jobs. When he was finished, he tidied up and everything looked great. I never got the feeling he stalled or invented little side trips to pad the hourly charges. (Don't let me get me started on the plumber who messed up my whole 4th of July weekend!)

I don't enjoy naming the simple-for-other-people tasks that I find impossibly tedious because I am just so bad at them that they make me crazy, but I will. ABC did these jobs for me at various times over 6 months:

---assembling Ikea items
---hanging pictures straight
---hanging a shelf unit nice and level and straight
---designing and replacing defective legs to my crappy couch
---routing my dvd player, my vcr and my obsolete tv thru my HD converter boxes.

Don't waste your time on 6 hour windows when some flake may or may not show up to provide a service. ABC Maintenance is a reliable choice for all kinds of handyman tasks. Check it out.
