Recommended Customer Reviews

If you're looking for a good and honest handyman in Bakersfield, then I highly recommend Toolin' Around Handyman. You will be pleased with the quality of their service and the overall experience. Not only did I get my ceiling fans installed, but now I have a handyman for whatever other things pop up at my house over time. I can't recommend them enough. Give them a shot and you will see what I mean. They are clean, trustworthy, and reasonably priced. It feels good to now have a handyman as my go-to guy going forward, because we all know how hard it is to find a good handyman in Kern County. Check them out.

I have been most pleased with the services I received from Toolin' Around Handyman that I plan on them being my GoTo business.
The work provided was outstanding and done correctly and efficiently. I had an additional item that I needed address on the fly and he did a great job fixing that as well.
I had 5 ceiling fans done 4 inside and one out. They look fantastic and work perfect. He also installed 9 smoke detectors as well. He was friendly yet professional. Highly recommend this business.

I am so pleased with the work done by this business. I put out a request and was answered immediately. They scheduled a time to come out and were prompt and very professional and friendly. I added a Mother-in-Law unit to my property and had a lot of finish projects do be completed including installing a ceiling fan, dog door, shelf, some bathroom fixtures, trimming around the shower and troubleshooting my garbage disposal that stopped working. I was more than pleased that they were able to wire this correctly as it was not done properly in the first place! They also fixed a large window that had come out of it's frame in the main house and fixed two electrical boxes that had the screws painted over making it impossible to remove. These projects were done quickly and reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

Cory once again did an amazing job! He installed the chandelier even though we hit a road bump . He worked around it and got the job done !

After my initial posting for my project, Nicole responded within minutes of my posting:
""Hi Gary - thanks for reaching out to us. Let me have our handyman take a look - he may want to come out and assess this project. I will get back to you tomorrow. Thanks Nicole with Toolin Around""
I never heard back.

Cory was very professional on time and very reasonable in price he fix my fan and mounting a TV for me I would call him anytime thank you

After I had water damage in a bathroom and bedroom in my home, I hired Toolin Around handyman to do the repairs that included drywall, vinyl flooring, baseboard installation, and painting. Cory prepared a detailed proposal and followed up with prompt, professional service to complete all repairs. This was a multi day project requiring good communication and schedule coordination. Cory was very accommodating and always on schedule. Also, after work completion, Cory did a thorough cleanup. Finally, he was cost competitive and completed work within the agreed budget.I highly recommend Toolin Aound Handyman.

Great all around.
This business is owned by a Husband and Wife but is growing and adding new employees.
The first great thing that set this company apart was how prompt Nicole was at responding to Yelp messages and text messages. Her professionalism was also appreciated.
When searching for handy services, many will take a long time to respond and often won't even give you a quote.
Cory did a great job with all of the tasks laid out. Since I had so many tasks requested (changing door hinges, changing cabinet hinges, mounting towel bars, changing toilet seats, mounting toilet paper rollers, etc.), I was charged an hourly rate of $65 and I felt it was fair.
Unfortunately, an old glass shower door shattered when he was working on trying to remount it on an old bathtub, and I was given compensation for that. It was not his fault since the door was so old but I still appreciate the compensation for it.
Work was done in a timely manner as well. This has so far been the best handy company I have worked with and highly recommend them.

Great company. Responded fast to my request. They came out the day I contacted them. The price was great and when I asked about another issue I was having he told us how to fix it. Tells you a lot about his character. Definitely not trying to take advantage of people. I recommend and will definitely use them if I need anything else done.

I needed my garage finished and shelving put up. - nice attention to detail
- listened to what I wanted
- cleaned up every evening
- kind, family owned business
- highly recommend
Thank you for a job well done.
