Handy Hands

Armando was very professional and helpful with good suggestions about the details of the plan, and clearly wanted us to be happy with the result. His bid was higher than another contractor's bid, but for a better-constructed fence that would last longer. His (very friendly) crew showed up on time, stayed late, did great work and left everything very tidy. We're planning to use Handy Hands for future jobs as well.

I loved them.  They were knowledgeable, efficient and clean in what they did.  They were responsive.  The end product was good which really mattered.  I am about to call them again.

It went very well.  The crew was courteous and very hard-working.  They were responsive to requests and small changes of plan. They did a very good job on everything they worked on, and cleaned and tidied up at the end of each work day.  Our hedges now look beautiful, and we have a nice new area for a shade garden, ready to plant.
The only suggestion I have for improvement would be in the area of communications.  We didn't understand from the contract that we were to provide the new soil and the gravel that went under the rock wall.  The problem was easily remedied, but it would have been good if it were clearer in the contract.

Beautiful job, we are loving it.

Did a beautiful job.  My yard has never looked so well-groomed and the beauty of the plants has been emphasized in a way that was never done before.

Great!  Armando got right back to me when I called for an estimate.  Very responsive via email.  Accommodated my last minute changes.  My yard looks so beautiful!  I plan to use him every year.

It is a big job. They will do other things too. They work really hard and their price is pretty reasonable.

Took all day with three people working. They work efficiently although sometimes a language problem, but we got through it. Able to deal with last minute requests. Workers stayed until job was done.

Service went well.  The project did get drug out a lot longer than expected.

Went well - they were responsive, did a thorough job, cleaned up well. We had a bit of miscommunication on the desired height in one area, but was not crucial. It will grow back (more quickly than I can imagine!). They stayed until 6:30 pm to get the job finished up in one day.

Armando (I believe that was his name) was wonderful from the first time we met him when he came to do the quote.  He was polite, thorough and timely.  His team arrived as expected, were very respectful and worked tirelessly through the day.  When I came home, the job was completed and the area looked wonderful.  I would (and will!) hire this team again.

He was very good. He seemed to understand and know what he was doing. He did not just trim; he pruned to make them get air and light to the center of the bushes. They really look good and I was very pleased with him.

They seem to be really good. They work really hard. They show up and do their job with no hassle.

Armando also has Handy Hands Landscaping. We had him at our house providing a bid for landscaping when we mentioned that we were also getting bids to get our roofs cleaned. He mentioned that his other business, Armmando Construction, does roof cleaning. We asked him to provide a bid for the roof cleaning, which he did on the spot. His bid was the least costly and he was knowledgeable, so we decided to go with his bid. His team began the work within two days and completed cleaning both roofs in 1 1/3 days. In addition, they applied moss killer to the house roof to r***** future moss growth. The team did a good job and cleaned everything thoroughly when they finished, including blowing off all of our patios and decks.

For the initial job, owner Armando Magana interviewed me at length about exactly which plants I wanted removed and which I wanted to retain; he offered advice that helped me decide to retain a couple of "iffy" plants. When the house painter called to tell me they could do the work a month earlier than scheduled, Armando was able to rearrange his crew's schedule on short notice and get the work done before the painters arrived.
His crews were prompt, friendly, polite and fast, and they were scrupulous about cleaning up after their work.
The work I've had done by them since has left my yard and landscaping looking better than it has in a decade. Their expert pruning has rescued a mature plum tree that had been infested with English ivy and had almost stopped bearing - this year, it gave me more plums than I could handle!  They've helped me transform a weed- and blackberry-infested border into an attractive hosta bed, and uncovered my front bed's buried brick borders I didn't even know were there.
The owner is prompt about returning emails and phone calls, and a real pleasure to work with.
I wholeheartedly recommend this business for landscaping, yard care and exterior carpentry.
