They were prompt for their appointment. They were quick and efficient, and very friendly. I would definitely recommend them, and will not hesitate to call them again.

We have used Fuller twice, first to install a garbage disposal and the second time to install a dishwasher. Each time they arrived on time and completed the the installs professionally. They swept up and left everything clean. Nice job, we'll be using them again...

There was water damage on the wood molding above our dishwasher. Then the dishwasher broke. I called several handyman services, either got no response or they wanted an unreasonably high fee. I remembered Fuller Handyman service had done work for us before. I called them, they removed the dishwasher, inspected the area and gave me advice on how to proceed. We'll have them come back to install the new dishwasher once we get the repair work done. Fuller Handyman service is great!

We called Fuller handyman service in the morning and they were here by noon and did the work. Mr Fuller went and purchased the grab bars and he and his son installed them and reinstalled the towel bar and cleaned up everything afterwards. I would have them again in a heartbeat and recommend them highly. I felt his price was very reasonable and he gave us senior discount.

Never followed through on estimate.
Response from FULLER HANDYMAN SERVICE

"Good afternoon Ma'am, I do apologize for the delay. We are still processing your estimate. I hope to have it ready for you within a couple of days. Regrettably, the high volume of requests we've received this summer has slowed down our processing time. I am so sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you, but we have not forgotten about you. I will email you a copy of the estimate just as soon as it's ready. Again, I'm so sorry that we weren't able to provide you with an estimate as quickly as you hoped. Have a great evening, Christine Fuller"

Initial phone contact was positive. Scheduling person was easy to reach, polite, and accommodated my scheduling needs. Mr. Fuller and his son were punctual for appointments and written bid was provided within 24 hours of initial meeting. I ended up only scheduling the fireplace door replacement. Mr. Fuller indicated that, because my house was built pre-1978 and had not been tested for lead paint, he couldn't take on the siding repair job without a specialized lead certification. On the day of the job, Mr. Fuller and son removed existing fireplace doors and attempted installation of the new doors I had ordered on the internet. It turned out the new doors were incompatible with my fireplace opening, so they ended up having to reattach the old doors. I would hire Fuller Handyman Service again because they were punctual, responsive, and communicated clearly. They do things "by-the-book". I didn't have the opportunity to really observe the quality of their work, but I appreciated their professionalism.

After few hiccups in schedules, I was successfully able to get on their calendar. Mr. Fuller and his son arrived on time and the job was wonderfully done. I was not only impressed by the quality of work, but also their strong work ethnic, professionalism, and a really stand-out attitude. I was very moved by an incident that happened and wanted to share it in this forum. While working on the gutter, the hose in my house they were using was slightly damaged and I wasn't around when that happened. Mr Fuller's son informed me about it and showed me the damage (which was a minor hole, one that could be plugged by a glue). I told them to not worry about it since I was very impressed with their work. Guess what, few mins later, they came back and dropped me a brand new hose. I wasn't around when they came and couldn't convey my thanks in-person. Thank you guys! You really didn't have to do it... I am proud to be your customer and will always be. Among all the crazy things I see in this world, their act instilled a sense of belief in me that there is still goodness and greatness amongst people like Mr. Fuller and his son.

They were able to get out here to do an estimated very promptly. They were delayed because they were backed up to get the work done but that is how it is these days. I don't think they should be dinged for that. They showed up on time, the day that they were supposed to be here.

I called these folks multiple times and left a voice mail. I never got a call back... I guess they don't care. A big part of being in Angie's list for a company is to own up to the accountability of their actions and non-actions. The positive reviews motivated me to "reach" this company but their slack in their "reaction" has driven me away.

I emailed Mr. Fuller pictures of the new mailbox I had bought, the existing mailbox and how it was mounted curbside, and asked for a rough estimate of the cost to remove the old box and install the new one. I received the estimate quickly slong with a suggestion of how to keep the costs down. Due to issues on my side, I was unable to follow-up for a couple of weeks, but when I was able to contact Mr. Fuller, he came out the next working day, at the appointed time, did the work perfectly in very short order for less than I thought it would cost. I have used Mr. Fuller's services for a variety of handyman-type jobs, and with always the same result: A excellent job at a fair price and always on schedule.

I ended up hiring someone off of Thumbtack. The job was finished within two days from registering on their site to everything.

I've left multiple messages over a period of a week so far haven't been given the courtesy of a return phone call.
Response from FULLER HANDYMAN SERVICE

"I'm so sorry, Ma'am. We were having issues with our phone provider, as noted on our profile. I'm terribly sorry we did not see your message. We have switched providers and hope this will ensure that we receive all of our voicemails in the future. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience."

This is a small family run business that has been in business for 30 years. They are very responsive and it seems that no job is too small for them. I am very pleased with the quality of service they provided at a fair price, and would definitely hire again. I now have the most attractive mailbox post on the block.

While this was a very small job, Fuller Handyman was willing to help us, as after years of not being able to move the blinds, even after the initial professional installation. Fuller was very prompt in communication and coming out for the 30 minutes of work. They were very fair in the price they charged.

Their reply could of been better, but overall it sucked. In my opinion Fuller Handyman Service will do only jobs that have a certain dollar amount. Oh well, lucky I found someone who really appreciate their job no matter what the dollar amount was.
Response from FULLER HANDYMAN SERVICE

"I'm sorry you weren't pleased with the services we offer. We are happy to take on projects of all sizes, but do have a one-hour service minimum. I'm glad you were able to get the project taken care of to your satisfaction."

I got my rental property back after gone through eviction process and the house was in a bad condition, leaking pipe, hanging wire, wall hole everywhere, broken light fixtures  ?..
Mr. Fuller came and point out many illegal and dangerous electric problem in the house, he also point out other wrong carpentry work in the house and provided me an estimate for the fix.
After carefully evaluate the condition of the house, I decided to hire a general contractor to rebuild part of the house, therefore I did not use Mr. Fuller?s repair service.
However, Mr. Fuller?s professional impressed me and I feel very confident to his job performance. I will certainly contact Mr. Fuller for any handyman service I need in the future, especially I live in the east coast, a good handyman service is very important for my rental property at Fremont.
