Accolade Home Services
Company Overview
Although I possess a Redwood City business license, carry liability insurance, and stand by my work, I am not a licensed contractor with the CSLB. I focus on small home repairs and handyman services for homeowners. I regularly tackle various tasks such as: Electrical work - replacing switches, outlets, and light fixtures, both indoors and outdoors. Plumbing services - replacing faucets, toilets, and garbage disposals, repairing leaks, and clearing blocked drains. Small painting projects. Plus, various other projects such as gates, smoke detectors, and pressure washing. I proudly serve the communities of Belmont, San Carlos, Redwood City, Atherton, Menlo Park, and Palo Alto. Having a father as a general contractor, my brothers and I frequently assisted his crew on job sites. After struggling to find tradesmen to finish an addition on my home, I took it upon myself to complete the project. This motivated me to extend my home repair services to others, so they could rely on a skilled, honest, and timely professional for their repairs. That’s how Accolade came to be. I am Mark Bissell, the owner of Accolade Home Services. I live in Redwood City with my wife and our two kids. Being naturally handy, I decided to establish Accolade Home Services in 1999.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Mark needs to brush up on his communication skills. Poor experience when trying to schedule an appt. for Mark to remove and replace a kitchen microwave. I never spoke to Mark on the phone but emailed and texted him for several days asking him to give me some dates when he could come by. He delayed getting back to me several times, and he seemed uninterested in our job. When he finally gave us a week date when he could stop by, I asked him if he was sure he could come on that date because we were going to be away for a month soon after that date. Mark's response: ""if you like you can get somebody else to put the microwave in"". Wow! This was very rude, Mark!

Mark is THE BEST. He has made multiple repairs around our home and each time we have been impressed at his professionalism, communication, ingenuity and just plain skill.
Most recently, our front door wasn't closing completely, leaving a gap where cold air poured into the house. We thought perhaps we needed new weather stripping. But Mark is so much smarter than us when it comes to these matters. He saw that the metal strip at the bottom of the door was striking the weather stripping, preventing the door from closing all the way.
In a very short time, Mark had sheared off the offending part and presto! the door closed perfectly. No more breeze.
On other occasions, Mark has fixed another door that wasn't closing properly, repaired window screens and performed many other tasks. Each time, the fix is for good.
We have since recommended Mark to the realtor who helped us find this house and to several friends. We feel so grateful to have found him.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Mark responded right away to my request, was easy to work with to schedule the appointment, came early (yes, I just said EARLY!), and did four projects in less than 30 minutes. Projects included plumbing (slow drain, leaking toilet), light carpentry, and installing a smoke detector which I could not reach. His rates are incredibly reasonable. He was super nice, wore a mask, put on booties to cover his shoes, and was overall terrific. Wish I had known about him sooner.

Mark helped me with a small job. I appreciated the communication, friendliness, and quality of work. I will definitely plan to use his services for my future home needs both big and small. Highly recommended.

Our old curtain rod fell off and ripped a hole in the wall. Mark helped us install a new on and patched up the holes. He also helped us replace a screen door that was ripped about by my toddler. Everything looks like new! His work is high quality, has good communication, and very fair pricing. Will be calling him up for any other future repairs.

Mark was really an expert on fixing/adjust door issues. We have multiple doors at our house which are scratching the floor. He took only a few minutes to fix all of them. The price was also reasonble. I would defenitely recommend Mark for his expertise.

My wife and I cannot recommend Mark enough - he was truly phenomenal from beginning to end. He was the fastest handyman to respond (texted me 15mins after i messaged him) and asked clarifying questions before booking an appointment. On the day of, he showed up on time with all the tools he needed and was able to knock out 6-8 jobs that varied from sawing planks of wood for our kitchen island, to aligning stuck doors, to changing out light switches, to replacing our deadbolts with electronic locks. Mark's depth and breadth of experience was truly astonishing, and he was a consummate professional during his entire visit to our house, where he had to navigate around a small child and a curious cat as well. We will continue working with Mark going forward without hesitation!

We are so appreciative of Mark's responsiveness, efficient help, and value. He helped us fix our faucet in a heartbeat. We'll be contacting him again and highly recommend his services.

Mark did an excellent job fixing our front and back doors that were out of alignment with the framing. Quick, efficient and great value. We will definitely be calling him back for any jobs in the future.

My 91-year-old dad's house needed all sorts of general repairs. I don't live in the area, so I turned to Yelp. Mark's business was near my dad and his rating was 5 stars, so I called him first. We met at my dad's house, I went through what I needed, we set a time - done! Mark is communicative, fast, personable, reasonably priced, and does excellent work. His 5-star rating is well-deserved. If anything else needs attending to at my dad's house, I will reach back out to Mark without hesitation.
