other plumbers I called were not interested in assisting with this device because of the lack of installation instructions so they didn't know what to do. Craig was great. He did his research the best he could and gave me the missing steps I need to take in order to finally get this device put in. I am so excited to finally order the missing link piece and have Craig come back to install the device properly. He really gave his time to me on this problem. He definitely went above and beyond. I will be keeping Craig on my cell for all plumbing/handyman issues moving forward.

I called Craig because my driveway gate literally blew-off during the past high winds. Craig got back to me right away and was right on time to do the work. He gave me an estimate and I hired him on the spot. He is very professional, friendly, and his prices are very reasonable. Best of all, he knows what he's doing. I would definitely recommend Craig for any handyman work.

Craig has been doing repair work for us for the last 8-9 years. He has fixed almost everything in the house at this point! He is great at troubleshooting and coming up with creative solutions to problems, including ideas on how to give a facelift to a tired table or armoire.  I also rely on him for selection of paint colors and placement of pictures!  We have a fence that would have already come down by now if it weren't for his ingenuity hard work.  He never flinches when I change course and pile on items to my 'list'. We can't recommend him highly enough, even though we are afraid of him becoming too busy for us!!!!

I live in Denver and he worked on a condo that I own in Los Angeles.  Craig was awesome!  He was communicative, easy to reach, quick to respond, thorough and fairly priced.  I HIGHLY recommend Craig's services.

Craig did an excellent job on the miscellaneous repairs around my house.  He was very neat , knowledgeable, and professional.  He also made some great suggestions.  Also, I appreciate the fact that he was easy to reach both by phone and email.

I called in the morning and Craig was able to work on my project the same day. He put together and installed 3 ceiling fans with lights. He was cheerful and was sweet to my new puppy.

Craig is the best.  He is not only a Craftsman, he is easy to reach both on the phone and via e-mail, and he is always on time. One of my favorite things about Craig is his honesty.  While he has been here I have asked him for suggestions on future projects and he has always given me great advice.  Leading up to the day of the appointment,  I always seem to have questions and concerns (usually that we might need a particular device or component) and Craig always calls me back or emails me promptly. Craig is well organized and plans everything in advance. While he is here he is doing the work which saves me money and time.  He works within my schedule (I often have to leave at a designated time) and he always finishes the work on time. Craig is very easy going and regarding the earlier reviewer who wrote something scathingly emotional, be sure to read Craig's response. I found Craig on Angie's List right after I purchased my Condo in the Spring of 2012 and have hired him ever since.  I give Craig the Handyman, Los Angeles, 5-Stars, All A's, and a rating of Excellent!

Wonderful!  Craig is a very hard worker. He took his time installing the pocket door hardware because it needed to be so precise.  Unfortunately, for him, the first set of new hardware didn't work out due to the poor design of the hardware itself, so we recently had him out again to install newer hardware.  Both times, the end result looked great.  He's very friendly, easy to get ahold of, and knowledgeable. He will be our regular handyman from now on.

It went very well.  He was able to do the job a few days after our phone call.  He even repaired an unexpected problem with one of the door casings at no charge.  The new doors and repaired casings look beautiful.  The price was extremely fair.

The handymand did an excellent job and i was very satisfied with his work. He was friendly, explained the nature of the problem, and completed the work in a very acceptable time frame. Unfortunately, last week, I dropped the remote device and broke it so I need to get in contact with the handyman again. I dont have his phone number but I remember he lived in Venice on Carrol Canal st. If you could provide me with his phone I would like to call him to set up an appointment to repair my garage door opener. Thank you.

Before coming to Angie's List, I've had so many problems finding a professional contractor/handyman to provided me the service I needed.  Even since coming to Angie's List I've run into some unprofessional contractors I was hoping to deal with.  But for the first time ever I have found me a man that is not only professional and kind, but an overall great guy.  
Craig Paterson of Handyman Los Angeles, has provided me with the service I was expecting and so much more.  His prices are reasonable, he's always on time, he works within the time frame discussed, and his work is always so clean and professionally perfect.  
He is God sent.  I'm so happy I found him.  Craig Paterson is now my go to guy for any handyman work I need.  I recommend him to all Angie's List members.  You will not be disappointed.  Thank you Craig for being true to your craft and to your clients.

All he did was put nails into the wall to hang the picture which I
thought was too simplistic. I've had other picture hangers who put in
special hangars and nails that would hold the weight of the picture and
would not crack the wallboard/plaster. He also had no opinion on how
high the pictures should be. I would have been better off doing the job
myself. 
On the plus side, he came on a Sunday and he was a few minutes ahead of the scheduled  appointment time.
Response from HANDYMAN LOS ANGELES
"It's been 3 months since I did that job and 3 months since the customer's recent review about it. I arrived on time at 10 am and was there for over 2 hours. I think there were a dozen or more pictures to hang. Most pictures were small and light and had been hung before with wire on the back. I used picture hanging nails for some, and drilled holes for wall anchors and screws for others that were heavier [customer stating I used nails only is untrue]. I hung all the pictures, and leveled them all with a level. I finished, invoiced Rick for $90, and he wrote a check for $90, not $100 as he said. The customer then asked me to look at the cracks in his bathroom floor and give him my opinion. After I did that, he walked me out. His review 3 months after I did this job is the first time I've heard from him since. He has never called to say any pictures were falling or anything. Unless they've been bumped, I would attest that they're still hanging and level. I don't know...he's never contacted me. The issue I do remember with the customer was that he had trouble deciding which pictures he wanted where. When he could not decide, I would try to help. To say that I had "no opinion on how high" is not true. What is true, is that the customer wanted me to help him make decisions and when I gave my opinion, he could not make up his mind. He also wanted me to tell him if what was in the picture [the art, the colors in the art etc.] was the best for that location. I told him art is personal and advised he may want the help of an interior designer who is great with these situations. I offered the contact info of a designer I have worked with many times. He declined it."

Craig was absolutely perfect.  He was able to help me on the same day, kept in touch regarding his arrival time, arrived on schedule, and worked efficiently and expertly to correct an exterior door that no longer opened completely.  He removed the door, planed the surfaces as required, and rehung the door in one hour.  Craig is gracious, honest, and competent.  I would use him again and recommend him without hesitation.

Craig has been extremely professional and courteous, and his work has been exceptional.  He's responsive in returning calls and emails but is sometimes booked 1-2 weeks out (which is probably because many people are interested in working with him). 
In terms of pricing, I've found that his estimates are exceeding fair (based on a couple comparison quotes i've received from plumbers, etc.).
Craig is also good about fixing other ancillary issues that he stumbles upon while working on the main projects.
In short, I enjoy working with Craig very much and plan to continue to do so in the future.

He was fine.  He was helpful and friendly, although he said he was going to fax me an item but I haven’t heard from him yet.  Other than that, it was good.
