After spending over three years traveling and living abroad, I founded ABC Maintenance in Santa Cruz, CA. I built a successful business for over ten years, with many satisfied customers who still provide referrals. In 2006, I relocated to San Francisco to seize a new opportunity, and I have since reestablished ABC Maintenance to serve the SF metro area. Additionally, I am part of the updated Cole Hardware Home Repair Referral Service.
Greetings, I’m Aaron Cohick, the owner and primary operator of ABC Maintenance. Since childhood, I have been designing, building, and repairing various items. 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 enjoy laughing and pondering life, traveling, appreciating nature, playing competitive soccer, hiking and camping, restoring classic sports cars, DJing vinyl records at local events, attending live music shows, dancing with friends, exploring visual arts in various mediums, watching indie films, engaging in philosophical discussions, cycling, practicing awareness, embracing voluntary simplicity, and exploring permaculture.
Thank you for considering my services. Warm regards, Aaron Cohick.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Aaron Cohick got back to me within hours which I thought was great. He wasn't able to help me at this time because he has a backlog of work but he took the time to suggest reaching out to Cole Hardware for another recommendation. Great customer service!

I found ABC Maintenance by reading all the positive reviews on Yelp. We requested a quote from Aaron for replacing the corrugated panels on our roof because they were old, cracked and leaking! He replied quickly and was able to come out & look at what needed to be done, then give us his estimate. Because of his quick response, we didn't bother to get estimates from other handyman services.
The weather forecast was for rain on the day that we originally scheduled so Aaron called us the day before to reschedule. He kept us informed on the time he would arrive.
He came, looked over the problem areas and purchased the supplies he needed to complete the job. While working, it started sprinkling and he came to the door to let me know that it started to rain in case I wanted to put anything indoors so it wouldn't get wet. (How thoughtful!) He worked all day with no breaks until after sundown to complete the job! It was dark outside and he was still on the roof! Afterwards he cleaned up the area and took away the old panels.The new corrugated panels are stronger and it lets the sunlight comes through so the whole area brighter.
We also requested the names of painters from him for another job and he recommended two different companies.
After the job was completed, my husband was concerned about pine needles clogging up the drains on the roof, phoned Aaron and left him a message. Aaron was courteous enough to return the call and give him his professional opinion.
If you need maintenance and handyman services, ABC Maintenance should be your choice! Thank you Aaron, you did a great job!

Aaron is professional, courteous and knows his stuff... I worked with him on designing and building some bookcases for his client and he was on top of things. Providing me a clear understanding of what he needed and wanted for his client. It was a delight to work with him and I look forward to working with him again.

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 :)
