Old Fashion Handyman

Looks great and only took 3 1/2 hours.

I found this handyman to do a small repair on my elderly father's ceiling fan light pull. He can no longer climb ladders and I have RA, so I can't either. I had called some providers closer in, but none of them returned my calls. The one company that did does not do small jobs. Rick answered my call and said he'd be right over. Within an hour he was! His service is located further out from Leon Valley, but my dad really wanted this fixed and we offered to pay a bit more for gas and time to get him out that day.   Very polite and punctual.

 He went right to work and got the fan pull fixed. My father then told him he was having trouble with the coding on his new garage door opener. Rick messed with it for awhile but it didn't work. Turns out Dad had bought the wrong one, but Rick carefully explained what to get and how to code it in, and we were later successfully able to do it with my daughter's help. He did not charge extra for this task, which is so nice since my father doesn't have a lot of money. Rick was very pleasant, honest, punctual  and helpful, and we have already recommended him to a neighbor. He said his policy is that "even a small job is big to the person needing it done."  Excellent work ethic!

I have no idea what he did for the last job or any details about it.

Provided estimate for project. Rick arrived on time, and quickly set to work. He discussed placement of unit with me, and measured and marked location. He built and installed a very sturdy wooden base, and assembled a large outdoor portable storage unit. He worked continuously, even though it was over 100 degrees outside. The quality of the construction of the wooden base, and careful assembly of the unit was outstanding. Rick did an exceptional job. We would definitely recommend this gentleman to others requiring completion of similar projects. We were very pleased with his work.

I was happy with whatever he did. I had bought the tile already. I really like him; he is a nice man, he does his work, and he knows how to do all kinds of different things that I cannot do. He even explains things to me, which I really appreciate. I had no problem and he cleaned up any mess that he made. I will use him again.

He was wonderful. He is reliable, fair, reasonably priced and has given us the freedom to not have to use a property manager. He is a great handyman. It was a long distance job and we entrusted him to look at the house and get it ready to rent, and he did a great job. I would absolutely recommend him to others.

He arrived when he said he would. Very polite and nice. He observed my leaking sink and found it was an easy fix. But thought it would be less expensive for me to do this rather than him unless I wanted him to. He also observed the screen door and fixed the problem. I would definitely hire him again.

I cannot say enough good things about Richard. He answered my husbands phone call right away and was great in scheduling a time to come repair that fit our schedule. Reasonably priced and if anything he undercharges for the amazing work he does. We had an ant problem, my husband tracked the source to my closet and proceeded to rip the baseboards off and then found we had mold on the baseboards and sheet rock from a previous toilet over flow in addition to ants living in our our insulation between our shower and closet. Richard came by and addressed the problem and actually tried to save us money by letting my husband know what could be done to fix it without his services. In the end we decided to hire him due to my husband not being comfortable in working with Sheetrock. Richard was on time, and got the job done the same day. Will be sure to use again if I have any other issues. Cannot recommend enough!

Rick Perkis did a fine job. He gave me a reasonable price for parts and labor and did a very neat job of a difficult tear out and replacement, working overhead from a ladder. He adjusted it for a snug fit, and cleaned up all the debris on a hot afternoon.
I gather he has a lot of experience in home repairs, and I will call him again if needed.

He came to estimate the door when he said and came the next day to repair it.



It all went well and my door is repaired

Nice man.  He is a motivated worker, does not require supervision, and was good with my animals.  He gave  a bid and stuck with it.  He works alone so job completion is slower than a team of workers.  Good at providing receipts and keeping up with draw and costs.  He has been timely for the most part and called when he would be delayed (only once).  He drives a car instead of a truck - which could have been a concern, but he didn't have any problems transporting supplies.  Most importantly, he is honest.  I have no hesitation leaving my house open while he is here. He is now working on another job for me and  I  will certainly continue to use him.

We had a 20 year old sun room that needed to be torn down in one afternoon. The way this modular room was constructed and glued together, we know we'd need help. Rick was flexible with when we needed him, and even flexible when I called late that morning and pushed it back one hour. We also had some electrical lines to the lighting and fans we needed to disconnect but maintain.
RIck was very professional and friendly. He helped us (mainly my husband) take out the windows and then used a saw to cut down the 11x20 structure. Everything was down, clean and hauled away in 3.5 hours.
We plan on hiring Rick for bigger projects in the future.

Called Old Fashion Handyman and Rick was very good good in keeping the appointment to see what I needed. He was very punctual and said he would get back to me in the next couple of days. I needed light fixture covers, trim painted, light switch replaced and some rotten facia and door jam wood replaced. He hooked us up with Russ and and the next weekend Russ was here painting and repairing. Russ is very professional, knowledgable and capable of any household repairs. Everything was professionally done and I would recommend them (Rick and Russ) for any jobs around the house! Outstanding customer service and professionalism!!

He was very punctual, very up front on what he was going to do, and with the price and he did the job as prescribed.

All work done in a professional manner. Punctual. Flexible. Multitalented..

They didn't cost to much. We were very pleased. They did a very good job. I really trust the electrician. I will use them if I have anything else to get done.

Had called three contractors for bids. The first guy didn't show for his appt. and did not call or return my call. The next two showed up on time and gave virtually the same bid, but this outfit could come earlier. They were here the next week with two people. I was amazed that the two of them were able to replace those large 4x4's within a few minutes. Impressive. They worked for most of the day and then cleaned up and did the power washing and were out of here by 5. They were on time, friendly, competent, and I am ready to use them again.

Did a great job toilet still unbalanced after intall we called him back and fixed right away

I have used him a few times. Everything turned very well as it always does.

He does a good job.

He was punctual, curteous, did good work and charged a fair price. However, he smokes cigarettes, and anyone who may be sensitive to the smell of cigarette smoke does not want him in their home. He left a trail of smoke smell wherever he went, and even smoked one while taking a break outside our house. He did take the butt with him, which was the only good thing about his smoking.

Handyman was very puctual. He brought all materials needed to finish the job. It had been a pretty windy couple of days; so, his work was constantly interupted. It actually took a few days longer to complete. In the end, my fence looks great. I live on the corner. So, i got a lot of complements aout the work.
