Affordable Handyman

Bad Customer Service...Called and he said he wanted the work and he would call me back but never did. Called him again he said email him. I emailed twice with no response. Gave him a 3rd chance and called he said he would call us back in a few minutes but NO call phone call again. He missed out on a large job and long term business opportunity.

Affordable Handyman was quick to respond and squeeze me in for an appointment. My bathtub would not turn off and I had to shut off my water to my house in order to turn off the water. He was great and explained to me what was wrong and fixed it in a timely manner. He got the parts and fixed it. As for the price, it cost $280. I am not sure if that is considered reasonable or not but I do like that he was quick to respond and was professional. IF there is a next time, I'll fix it on my own. The price is a bit much but worth it this time since it needed to be done for my tenants.

Affordable Handyman came to my home. He's a very nice man. I called and he came the next day. He did a great job fixing one toilet replacing the guts in the toilet tank in one bathroom and fixed the sink in the other bathroom replacing the stopper & the parts under the sink. He also gave me ""Yelp"" discount. I do have say that I thought the price of $380 (which included parts & he went to the store for the parts) was a bit high but he was here for about 2+ hrs. I'm happy to have everything working. I don't know what prices are these days & they may have been normal. Thank you Baldo.

Called these guys for a very small concrete job since it was below the project minimum for most residential hardscaping companies. Scheduling was a bit of a challenge since these guys are so busy but once the work was lined up Baldo and Ricardo efficiently completed it in one morning at a fair price point. Would definitely reach out to these guys again!

I was counting on a handyman to come install a new faucet earlier this week but he cancelled on me, so I needed someone last minute. I found out about Affordable Handyman and Baldo was able to set up a morning appointment the following day. He provided great service and good information that I needed to know for next time if I ever needed a new faucet system. Thanks Baldo!

We needed help installing a water filter under the kitchen sink and contacted Baldo via Yelp. He quickly came over and gave us an estimate, but commented that all the parts under the sink were due for replacement. We knew this was not a up-sale because another plumber and ourselves have recognized the problem but didn't want to spend so much money in one go. Eventually we decided to just get everything fixed. He didn't charge us for coming out to look at the kitchen sink and not doing the original request.

Baldo gave us a new estimate and said he would come back the next day, which was Labor Day! He told us what parts to buy (we needed a new faucet, too), and offered to buy them for us if we wanted to. We ended up buying most of the big stuff, and he supplied the pipes and smaller parts.

Baldo came over the next day on time and promptly got to work. He explained what he was doing and was happy to add or move things around after he installed them. We felt safe enough to leave him at home alone and went out for brunch. We came back a bit late but he was patiently waiting with no problems. He also hauled away what trash he could (since he ran out of space in his truck). There's a 90-day warranty to give us peace of mind as well.

Baldo saved our butts on multiple occasions. I left a previous 5-star review but I can't seem to locate it anymore so I'll try to also re-cap the previous work he's done for us.

First time we called Baldo, our water heater pipe burst, threatening to drown everything we had stored in the garage... around 11pm in the evening. We have a trusted plumber whom we call when we have plumbing issues but this was obviously way after hours so we frantically called around for someone who would assist us with the emergency. Left dozens of messages with several companies and handymen; Baldo was the only who who responded and was willing to come to us so late in the evening. Replaced the pipe, practically by candlelight, and did an immaculate job and charged fairly for it.

Baldo also installed a pretty complicated water hookup, to our refrigerator, for us. And we were very happy with it.

Fast forward to his most recent job.

Our landscapers were doing work in our yard and accidentally hammered a nail into our water main. We had a geyser drenching our yard. It happened in the early evening. They attempted to fix it--to no avail--and by the time they threw in the towel, we were without water at 11pm again (seems to be our witching hour). We absolutely could not go without water so we called Baldo. He came, and replaced the section of the pipe with almost seamless connections, and left it in a much better state than before the landscapers broke it. And he charged fairly again.

He's never let us down and is our go-to guy, for sure.

Side note: I'm looking at some of the negative reviews left for Baldo's business and I think what's key is to bear in mind that when you call a handyman, after normal business hours, for emergency fix-its--and he shows up immediately to try to help you resolve your problem--you need to be reasonable and expect a little bit of an upcharge. Otherwise, you're typically going to have to wait at least 24 hours or, at least, until the following morning. This guy has a family and a life he wants to get back to, like most of his customers.

Response to business owner's reply to my first review: Well Baldo, then all you have to do is NOT tell people that you will be there to do the job. If you are not really a handyman, but a contractor who wants only big jobs, get licensed and change your business name. But DO NOT tell people that you will do the job then never show up or call.

We needed to have some very old solar stuff removed from our roof. We contacted some roofing companies that didn't want to touch the job. They said to find a handyman to remove the old water heaters, then call them to repair the damage. Fortunately we found Baldo. He came out very quickly and gave us a fair quote. He not only removed the junk, he did all the roof repairs needed while he was up there. We have more projects ahead as we get the house ready to sell. I will be calling Baldo today to start working on those.

I left him two messages on two different days and he never got back to me.
