Ye Olde Handyman General Contractor

JoAnn M.

I was looking for a handyman to replace my kitchen faucet because it was leaking underneath the sink. Nick from Ye Olde Handyman responded quickly and was able to squeeze me into his schedule. Nick has excellent communication regarding what was needed before, during and after the job. He is extremely knowledgeable and shares his expertise and opinions freely which I greatly appreciated. He did a great job on my kitchen faucet and will be returning to tackle another job in my kitchen. I highly recommend Nick if you need any type of handyman service.

Nick repaired the front door and fire door going from the kitchen to the garage in my mom's house. I submitted a quote request on Yelp to 4-5 handymen, and Nick was the first to respond. Both doors in my mom's house are quite old and did not close properly. Nick did an amazing job and gave me options we could take along the way. When he was done, both doors were completely fixed to my satisfaction.

Additionally, I asked him for guidance on maintaining the doors and he provided some great tips for me while he was doing the work. Nick is very friendly and personable as well. Nick obviously has a broad set of skills and I would highly recommend him for handyman work. In fact, before he left, I booked time for him to do some work on my house in Pacifica pertaining to evaluation of mold in a wall in one of my bathrooms. Thanks Nick!

Nicholas was kind enough to give me advice on how to remove a custom shower arm installation which was giving me trouble. Very friendly and professional throughout, he's very knowledgeable and I'd definitely call him up for my next job.

Nicholas was so kind and helpful from our very first conversation. He helped us troubleshoot our kitchen light problem before he came so we could save money by buying a part rather than replacing our whole light fixture. He was very thorough and professional, and ended up helping us with several small needs around the house. We won't hesitate to call him back next time we need help.

This review took far too long to post and I apologize. Anyway I just wanted to give a glowing review to this most excellent handyman who went above and beyond during his visit.

Because I have bad arthritis and my wife has MS we can't really do all of the tasks around the house we used to. So every now and then we have to hire a handyman which hasn't always had the greatest result. However this time we were very pleased with the service and anticipate calling him back again soon to a couple more things.

We specifically called in order to get help in installing a wall TV mount and also mounting a wall lamp. We also needed to tall bookcases earthquake strapped 2 wall studs. The main issue with our apartment being that the studs are very strange and not always where you would expect them to be based on any reasonable kind of construction normals. He was able to find studs for our mounts and get everything installed in very short order as well as attaching the earthquake straps to our bookshelves. While he was doing this he actually went to the trouble of showing how I could figure out using a tape measure in particular measurements to find the studs in our weirdo apartment.

So we would like to give a great recommendation to this most excellent jack of all trades. His costs were also very reasonable and actually less than the last handyperson we used who was a complete disaster. They were up in Seattle though so you don't have to worry about them.

We were without hot water until we could get some drywall up in our external water heater closet. I contacted Ye Old Handyman for a quote and I got a response minutes later from Nick. Compared to the several others I reached out to, his cost was more reasonable, and I also appreciate his expertise. He was able to schedule us even with his busy schedule, knowing we were without hot water and have a newborn!

Nick arrived on time. Again, since we have a newborn, I had to be precise about how to contact us upon his arrival because didn't want to wake the baby! He was extra considerate on that point. After looking at what we needed, he even recognized what the restoration people missed (more mold in the wall) and removed it. He also straightened and cleaned up the work the restoration people did (they did a poor job). I was able to go about my business while he went working away, and did do the job quickly and efficiently.

Overall Nick was knowledgable, trustworthy, explained the process the entire way, and did an amazing job! I recommend him for any handyman needs! He also is a Cal State Fire volunteer, and since the drywall was meant for fire safety, I was happy to have him working on it for my family's safety.

Thank you, Nick!

I needed a quick fix to a door problem and contacted Nick after looking for local handymen in the area. While he was busy he kindly squeezed me into his schedule after talking about the door issue. Really nice and explained what he was doing every step of the way. I was pleasantly surprised that he is a licensed contractor, not all handymen are, so his knowledge base/skill set is vast. His rates were fair and he has a really cool mobile work station with all the tools one could ever need for a job. I'm definitely hiring him again for future projects. A dependable knowledgeable handyman with good communication skills is a rare find these days so he's a keeper for home issues. He was pretty local to me but actually services a wide area in the Bay Area from the east bay to southbay.

Nick was amazing! He showed up on time, quickly diagnosed the problem, explained different approaches, and then fixed the front door in less than 1hr! He walked me through exactly what he was doing to tell me how I can adjust it myself, if it ever is necessary. Punctual, fairly priced, super knowledgeable! I will definitely be using him again. Thank you, Nick!

I definitely recommend the Ye Olde Handyman. He has a lot of knowledge about so many things when it come to the repairs you need. I first used Ye Olde Handyman to install electrical for my new hot tub. Ye Olde Handyman has also taken care of the repairs of rotted roof along with the removal of the chimney. Now that the roof is patched any chimney gone time to have him tear out the fire place and patch the floor.
