Bambam Handyman

Debra F.

Our mailman left the door down on the mailbox, which is in a lg stucco stand at the street. We couldn't get the door open or closed or pull the mailbox out of the structure, because it was stuccoed in.
It was urgent to have it replaced.
After literally contacting 10-15 companies (at least 5, never bothered to respond, even after reaching out a 2nd time ~ how do they maintain 5 stars?) the right 1 fortunately did!
Travis, the owner of Bambam Handyman. He's honest, communicated constantly, up front with charges & told me if he bought the supplies, he'd have to add an 8% fee, or I could get them myself & save money.
He charged me a sm additional chg, again telling me upfront, because I was out of his service area.
He charged by the hr, some charged a flat fee, but over all, his sounded best. The range of charges were from $75 - $250. His total was $90 (inc trip chg), I bought the mailbox, since I purchased the 1st 1, when we moved in 5 yrs ago. He offered to paint it, but I already had our painter scheduled next month.
It looks fantastic!
I spoke to him about doing some other handyman work we've had on hold, waiting to find a reliable person. Thank u Travis!

I hired Travis who is the Bambam Handyman to do some work on a rental home. He was easy to communicate with which was nice. The initial job was to install new bathroom faucets and conduct some drywall repairs with texture to match. The texture matched better than I could have done, but still was slightly noticeable that it was repaired. He did the jobs as required, but said he did not have any cleaning products so the new faucets were installed over the old calcium mildew gunk. He said he scrapped one that was bad, but did not clean them. To me that is just the normal thing to do is clean off the surface you will be installing a new product on, but I digress as I never requested that specifically to be completed.

Travis was then hired for a second job involving sanding, painting, and hanging four interior doors with hinges and hardware & installing and painting a baseboard piece and two corners. First he charged per hour rather than a flat rate. So keep this in mind as if he runs into any delays etc you are writing a blank check. If you use him, be sure to get a firm preferably flat rate quote so you know your out of pocket cost.

I had to leave while he was still finishing the last job. I was unable to inspect prior to him leaving. Needless to say i went back later and inspected. I found their to be a few issues that he did not remember to do or did incorrectly. The side of the garage/kitchen door had to be sanded and he said he would paint it, but never did. The baseboard and two corner pieces were installed, but they were left halfway completed. There was no caulk or additional paint added. They were left with big gaps.

The interior door handles on a couple doors were installed upside down. Just another oversight on his behalf. He offered to come fix the issues aforementioned, but since this is not his main job and is only a side gig, his schedule is pretty much only open on weekends. When he offered to come by and fix the issues, he ended up not calling to advise he wouldn't make it, but rather sent an email apologizing that he was not going to make it.

So all in all he is a nice guy who can do jobs, but I would get specific with everything you want completed in writing for an exact cost ahead of time. Then make sure you are there to inspect and approve of the finished job. Then if any issues are identified, have them fixed immediately as his schedule can be difficult to work with.

Just moved to Arizona and we needed some ceiling fans installed and a shower head since I'm not handy at all. Started reaching out to people on Yelp and got a response right away from Travis. This was on a Friday and even though he had worked all day, he offered to come over late which was fine with us. Travis was very professional throughout the entire time and even showed me how he was installing the fans. I helped him put things together to make it easier and he was very appreciative. I will DEFINITELY be using Travis again in the near future as I will need help with other things around the house.

Travis performed a minor miracle on on 2 of my exterior doors (see attached pics). Travis was friendly and prompt. Fair pricing and quality service. What's not to like?

Travis is a great dude! He was punctual, courteous and did a fantastic installing a kitchen faucet, over the range microwave door, hardware and a new water supply valve for a toilet. He did everything quickly and taught me some pointers along the way, I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Travis did a great job. He listened to what I wanted and asked alot of questions to make sure it was right. He was kind, efficient and had great communication. If I need anything else done I will definitely be calling him again.

We just started using Travis for a variety of small projects around the house. We moved in to a new house and need to wrap up several move in projects. First of all, I can't say enough about how great Travis is to deal with. We actually messed up the timing for him to help us and he was very gracious and came anyway and did as much as he could before going to another appointment. Right from the beginning, Travis was great to communicate with and stayed in touch for confirming our appointment. He got back very quickly on our estimate. He is willing to do a variety of services which is huge for us because my husband is paralyzed and is unable to do most everything he could do before he broke his neck. We will definitely be using Travis for all of our handyman needs and referring him to our friends and neighbors. Travis treated us like he was working on his own home. When you find someone these days with character, integrity, and a great work ethic, you want to keep them. Travis rocks!!

Our dishwasher was not draining and after we couldn't figure it out ourselves, we were looking for someone to come in for a quick fix. Travis delivered just that - quick availability, very reasonable prices, and honest work. He showed us what was wrong, how to fix it, and how to prevent it moving forward. I really appreciate when someone cares about teaching us how to do it ourselves for the future. He even gave us some tips on the leaky sink. We will definitely be calling Travis for more work around the house, thank you!

Travis is outstanding!! I contacted him on Saturday to inquire about moving the ventilation duct and electrical box above our stove so we could install a new wall mount vent hood.

Travis came to our house the next day and he was super professional, came up with a solid plan and then even had a few different options depending on what we preferred. I told him to just do what he thinks is best and his response was perfect, ""I always do the job how I would want it done if it were my house"".

From this point on I won't even bother calling anyone else. If I don't have the confidence or ability to do on my own I'm only calling Travis.

It was a very pleasant experience. Travis was able to remove the tiled in dishwasher without any issue. He also installed a new dishwasher for us. He was professional and friendly the entire time. Very knowledgeable and lots of experience. We are very happy with the service!
