Affordable Handyman has been a blessing. Jose is wonderful! He is easy to work with and very reasonable. Cecelio and Anita are very hard working and precise. Jose and the team not only finished the work exquisitely, they found problems that needed to be fixed. I would recommend them wholeheartedly!

They were on time every morning, very respectful and very knowledgeable. They were very neat while working and cleaned up so well in the evening you never would have known they were there. The work was beautiful, I won’t hire anyone else for future jobs. I feel that not only did we find the perfect handyman , we also found a new friend.

Jose and his workers are great; they will even move furniture that has nothing to do with the repairs if requested. I seemed to have several shorts; all were found and fixed. All of my lights are finally working again! The roofing project also went very well, as they were able to match the rest of the roof; even though I had the name of the color wrong. From looking at the quality of the work; I think it will hold up even in the winds we get here. Jose is a dog lover, he took the time to learn the dogs names, and made sure to watch the escape artist so we didn't have to go chase her. When I'm ready for my next project I will call on Affordable Handyman again.

I had two projects that needed fixed. An add on room in my house had begun to leak badly; an some of my lighting was shorting as well. I called Jose for the electrical issues, and found out while talking with him that his company can also do roofing. So I had him do both projects.

The shower started leaking and Jose came very quickly to assess the damage. He showed me the leak and how the backer board had been installed incorrectly to begin with in the bath tub. He said they could patch it but it would start leaking again, so recommended it be redone properly. The tub and tile had to be demolished and everything replaced. He and his associate began demolition that day and worked quickly and efficiently and ensured all the mess was contained. The whole project took a week to complete. I am very happy with the results and would highly recommend this company.

Horrible. They never clean up after the work. Left the demo for me to clean up. Jose said he has a crew and showed up with one guy. Only that guy worked and himself left immediately without doing anything. Initially he said he had a crew of three people. I had pay extra for the hauling away. Also his suggestion was to use my trash company for the other stuff. What a joke! The guy worked on my bathroom use my toilet instead of setting up a toilet outside. I do not think he has a valid contractor license. He has no common courtesy or common sense and definitely no professionalism. Showed up unannounced to my door before 7 am!! Waking me and family up from our sleep. Calls at 6:20am. He sprayed a chemical in my bathroom and did not cover the vents, it went all over the house and me and my family is suffering from headaches and nausea. Also when he was cutting the drywall he exposed my entire house to mold spores which I have to spend extra money to fix the damage he did not only to our healths but also to the quality of the air in my house. Testing, remediation, etc. Also, please educate yourself about hardiback for putting a tile ( that what he uses) because it causes cracks in your tile and that’s what Jose is using. Unless you want to spend extra money to replace the cheap material he is using Do yourself a favor and check everybody’s license and get a detailed estimate. Never hire them.

No bathroom remodel was done, we removed wall tile around the tub and removed the bathtub only ( it was a demo job ) All materials were placed in 6 mil trash bags and sealed. This was a 5ft by 7ft bathroom ( no room for 3 workers ) and the demo job was finished in 8 hrs. All trash bags were taken outside by the curb, the lady didn’t want to expend money in dumping fees, I let her know that some trash companies got special trash pick ups, she has to call and make an appointment. My California General Contractor License is on the estimate form that I sent her # 807165 I sent her a written estimate on 11/22/2020 and she call back on 12/14/2020 to schedule to do the demo job on 12/18/2020 at 7:00 am calling 30 minutes before for her to get ready. No mold was present only 2 small water stains and just in case we sprayed mold armor ( available at the Home Depot ) and we cleaned the tools with all purpose cleaner with bleach ( also available at the Home Depot ) We kept the bathroom door closed at all times during the wall tile removal, the lady opened the bathroom door every 5 minutes. We never use hardiebacker ( it was a demo job ) From the beginning the lady owner knew that no payment was necessary until all the demo job was finished.

Wonderful work! Jose and his crew painted my existing cabinets and wet bar. Removed dated ceramic tile countertops and replaced with quartz. Added hardware to kitchen cabinets, installed new sink in kitchen and wet bar. Installed beautiful porcelain backsplash. He also installed new cooktop. I had the entryway ceramic tile and matching fireplace tile removed and they installed porcelain entryway tile and built up the fireplace. Jose also installed new large baseboards in entryway. They also replaced an electrical outlet to satisfaction. There was a small issue discovered and mold remediation was performed along with drywall removal & installation. New drywall was painted. Oh! They did roof repairs too! All work was done in a timely manner and was performed beyond satisfaction. His crew was polite and respectful and always showed up on time!! My house has now entered the 21st Century! I will definitely call them again.

My wife and I are very happy with the results. Jose and his crew were professional, prompt and respectful. He promptly informed me of necessary work changes and that gave me the opportunity to accept or reject any additional work. In the end, I went with all recommendations. I I was pleased with the work, so I tipped his crew. I will recommend Affordable Handyman to my friends and colleagues. Lawrence-Claremont, CA

We hired Jose to repair our bathroom floor and install a walk-in shower. They did an amazing job, great communication. Jose is fair, punctual, honest, clean, courteous and affordable. This was actually 2 separate jobs, after they completed the flooring in the bathroom we called him back out the following week to install the shower. I highly recommend his services and we will have him back. His worker Cecilio was equally professional, thanks again.

Jose Ortiz was excellent! Very professional. He worked with me on the price of the repairs and his work was exceptional. He was on time everyday that he was on the job and he worked continually without a break until the work was done. I was gone from my home a couple of weekend days and Jose and his crew worked on my roof while I was gone and this cut down the time needed to finish the job. The bedroom that he and his assistant remodeled turned out amazing to the point that you can't tell that there had been any issue with the big ceiling leak nor the water damage that the leak had caused. The room is better than it was originally before the damage caused by the leak. After the repairs we had some very heavy rains and there has not been a leak since the repairs by The Affordable Handyman. If you are looking for a contractor who is professional, punctual, fair priced ,courteous and conscientiousness about his work I highly recommend Jose Ortiz, The Affordable Handyman and his team. I had several estimates from other contractors for the repair work needed on my home, most of the quotes were either double what Jose's company charged me or much higher than the estimate I got from The Affordable Handyman. If you need home repairs done well and at a fair price, check out The Affordable Handyman. You will be very satisfied with his prices and his excellent work.

I hired Jose to hang kitchen cabinets and install tile flooring in my kitchen. I had ordered the cabinets and bought the tile. He came by to give me an estimate and at that time the old cabinets were still in the kitchen. He was going to charge me $960 to remove them. However, I remove them myself to save a little money. He also stated that the only unforeseen was what the wall behind the cabinets And the charge for that was fine. At first I thought Jose was professional because he gave an precise estimate. They showed up ready to work. However, he tried to nickel and dime me all along the way! He said he was going to keep the $960 that he was going to charge to remove the cabinets, because he had to remove some appliances (washer dryer refrigerator). After work was partially done he would say that there is an additional charge for something we had already agreed on, like preparing the walls for painting even though we had agreed on a cost to paint! He didn’t finish the project after he got paid, grout in the tile had holes in it and I had to repair it myself! He scratched The kitchen cabinets. He was hardly there and the paint job he did wasn’t even smooth. I even gave him a diagram of how the cabinet should be hung, how many, and he still tried to charge me extra because he said there were some more cabinets then he expected! I remove the old cabinets which was part of the original estimate, Yet he still he wanted to charge me for moving some appliances — that he didn’t move back! Eventually I had to make him sign an agreement that he would finish the job, everything included, for $6000—about $2000more than the estimate. He was Supposed to install and finish the tile molding—HE DID NOT! Don’t let him do any work without a full understanding and make him write down exactly what he’s going to do and charge! BUT BEWARE YOU STILL WON’T BE SAFE, He does not keep to his word. He also makes a lot of excuses to get around doing something that he is supposed to do! He is not trustworthy. HE IS NOT HONEST! Took a week off of work so that we can get the work done. Last day of the project I had to go to work and he was supposed to finish, so I gave him a check. Once I left he tried to take a vantage of the fact that my wife is a woman and did not return the appliances like he was supposed to — something he charged $960 for, AND TRIED TO GET HER TO PAY MORE MONEY! I am probably going to report him to the contractors board.

Woke up to a water leak due to busted line in my interior wall. My first and only call was to Jose as he has done great work at my home in the past. He made it a priority to get to my house as quick as possible to determine the problem and get it stopped. By chance I had another urgent matter come up while he was there regarding my fence, I needed to add height in order to pass a fence inspection for our pool and Jose was able to complete the job before my reinspection. We gave the damaged area a few days to dry out and it was put back and looks even better than before. My fence passed inspection and the modifications look great. Jose and his crew are great, professional, keep the work areas clean, prices are very fair, and most of all he and his crew are trustworthy and reliable. Thank you again Jose for helping us out.

Feb. 14th, 2019, Jose showed up on time and in heavy rain to give the initial estimate. He called in advance to make sure I was still available for the estimate. He gave a written estimate, with costs for specific parts of the job. He also gave an estimate of the supplies required, and told me I could purchase them myself, or he would do it and bring the receipts. We set a date for the work to be done, (02/26/2019) and he gave me a one hour time frame in which he would arrive. He arrived with an assistant by 8 am, and began working immediately. They did the job perfectly to my requests, and even offered a suggestion, which made the job look better. I'm very pleased with the work, and will definitely hire Jose from Affordable Handyman again.

I am the Office Manager for a busy family practice in Rancho Cucamonga. Jose and his crew have been fantastic! Very responsive and helpful. In the last round of rain, Jose called me on the weekend to see if he could go by and check the roof as the practice had been experiencing leaks and he wanted to be sure they were okay. I have been directly working with Jose for greater than 4 years and trust his work and honesty implicitly !! I strongly recommend Jose for any work that is within his scope of services.

Ok so this is the second time I gave JOSE a chance. I had some stuff on a list to sell my house as it is in escrow. Little stuff but there was like 5 or 6 things. I called on Tuesday. He came by. Told me he was busy for some of the in house stuff but he said the 2 things that were on my roof his partner could do. Promised that he would be able to make it out on Wednesday because I told him I had a deadline of Friday. He said sure. So I didn't hear from him the rest of the day. I called Jose @ 4 and he said his partner was in an area without cell coverage. But promised he could do it so I didn't schedule anyone else. I said ok have him call to confirm when he gets back into town. I call Jose Wednesday... He said his partner can't do it until Saturday... WHICH IS AFTER THE DEADLINE HE PROMISED HE COULD MAKE! I am sure that everyone reading this thinks that is not that bad. But in the beginning of this renovation I did... he did the same thing. I set up for him to come and work on my house. I had about $40000 in projects set up for him to do and a 30 day timeline that he said he could meet. That is why I chose him over all the other contractors on here. The night before he was supposed to start he called me and said his dad is not doing well and he will be gone for 10 days... TEN DAYS out of 30.... It was so late that I had to go with him as no other contractors could take such a big job on such short notice. So I waited the 10 days and when he came back his team started working on the littlest jobs that he had bid the most for... not the most important jobs.... not the obvious ones that would need to be done first in a remodel... ****** little ones like build a tiny 2foot by 3 foot wall in the garage... WHO STARTS THEIR REMODEL IN THE GARAGE! I threw him off the project in the first day of that and paid him $2000 for 1 day of work... and really only came back out of necessity... LOW AND BEHOLD HE SCREWS ME AGAIN! this guy sucks...

I contacted the roofer and he was busy until the coming Saturday, it is raining until Friday so no roof work or roof work estimate can be done until Saturday. Customer canceled the remodel job because the bank didn’t give him the money to finish the remodel , customer own words .
