Reviews
Extreme professionalism. Sam and Nick were incredible in helping us move our Murphy Bed. They arrived on time, followed COVID protocols, returned the next day to reinstall in our new home and Nick stayed to help hang art work. I was able to schedule Nick to return to help with more things the following week. After the holidays, he will return to help us connect to the nest and ring systems that were installed buy previous owner. Moving is very stressful. Sam and Nick have really helped with the things we can't do on our own. I'm very grateful to have found these gentlemen I can trust. Their work is excellent. They are indispensable.

Now I understand what is meant by exceeds expectations. I think I first knew about Sam Russo back in March. He was booked until this first week in May, and it was well worth the wait. Mr. Russo treated my projects with the same care he would give his own home. You can tell he enjoys his craft, and he has the mind of an engineer - which you need when you have work done on your older home (we are in Curtis Park). He is a natural problem solver and is extremely bright. I will honestly say it was truly a pleasure to have Mr. Russo over to work today. I have never had such a great experience in my 20-years as a homeowner. I know who I will call when I have another project. Thank you Sam!

Great experience from start to finish! Our appointment was set up swiftly, and Nick was incredibly helpful with our project of installing new outlets and light fixtures throughout our house. We will definitely contact them again for future needs.

Sam was awesome. Easy to work with, gave simple solutions that I can do myself to some of my projects to save me money, and kept himself busy while waiting for spackle to dry (again, so as not to waste my money).
Nick was an incredible young man that when above and beyond to install. the Television and also helped hook up the DVD which I need for my Parkinsons exercises.. Cannot say enough about the wonderful service. Russ and co will be my go to handy man.
The things I value most in customer service are responsiveness, reliability and quality of work. Sam and Nick excel in all areas! We are so pleased we found them and we'll definitely call them in the future. I highly recommend them.
We are so glad to have found Sam as our Handyman.
We had many projects after moving into a new house; we had contacted and hired other handymen initially but stopped the search when we found Sam.
Sam is knowledgeable, honest, professional and friendly. He is always on time and never leaves a mess. I especially appreciate how he always takes off his shoes before coming into the house, as he treats our house as his own.
We appreciate and highly recommend Sam!
Sam is just a great guy to have in your contacts. He doesn't try to snow you with all the things he can do, if what you want Don he doesn't feel he can do a good job for you he will decline. If what you need done is in his wheelhouse, he will not only do it, but do an excellent job. I had Sam install an over the range microwave. Oh, no, it isn't that simple! The microwave sits in the corner above my range. It's tricky because microwaves aren't made to be installed that way. Sam had to use part of the support from the old microwave to install the new one! As you can see, wonderful job! Thanks, Sam!
This is my second time calling Sam Russo Handyman service. His employee Nick was super nice and did an awesome job.
His communication is great. He text me and said he was available to come early if, that works for me.
The installation didn't take long. He had all the right tools.
Very happy with the service. Will definitely call again, Sam Russo Handyman for future projects.
Had Sam come back for another job - this time he replaced kitchen appliances (stove, dishwasher, microwave) and bathroom fixtures (toilet/sink replacement). He got it all done in only five hours, really great rates, amazing quality work! Highly recommend!

These guys are great. Sam was super responsive, getting me on their schedule within the timeline I requested. Nick showed up on time, super polite and respectful (as a woman I value this greatly) and worked quickly and efficiently to get the jobs requested done. They'll be my go to handyman service going forward.

Sam did a great job with a series of projects around our house. He was on time, professional, personable and did quality work. He took the time to explain each step of the process. We look forward to having him back for our next project. Highly recommend Sam and his services.

We called Sam to repair a broken closet door and to fix damage done to our wooden bannister. I sent him a few photos over text and he provided accurate cost estimates. While he was here we asked him to fix a piece of trim that came loose and he made time for that last minute fix before he left. We've tried a few local handyman, Sam is great (and rare) mix of responsive, reliable, and knowledgeable; we'll be contacting him with future work.
I contacted Sam via text about 5 smallish projects--non-working cabinet door hinge, new medicine cabinet install, water-damaged baseboard, poorly working slider, and replacement of a termite-ruined fence board. He got back to me later that day, gave me a rough quote and we booked an appointment for 3 weeks out. He arrived promptly that morning, and was really helpful in giving feedback and advice on the projects. I was impressed with the breadth of his knowledge, and he was good natured and pleasant to work with. I will definitely use him again! Thank you, Sam!
Quick response from Sam! His man, Nick was on time, professional, friendly, and able to fix the problem with my security door. The price quoted was exactly the price I paid! I will definitely use Sam Russo's handyman services again!
Found Sam on Craigslist and wasn't sure what to expect. He is great!!! He has helped w put furniture together- lifting heavy items, and basically putting my house together since I moved! He is reliable, professional, is an organized and fast worker. My parents also call him all the time for work.

Texted Sam to see about getting a lighting fixture installed. He answered me in a few hours. He seemed very busy yet very organized.
His teammate was sent for the task, super nice guy!
Job was done easily, efficiently and cleanly.
Highly recommend these guys!!!
Only downside is they aren't cheap. But I guess you pay for what you get.

Sam is excellent handy man. Did bunch of stuff like safety bar, smoke alarms, fixed some door locks. Fixed overhead light. On time & very gregarious & listened to my moms requests.
Hired them to replace a faucet. Nick figured out what to do and was able to quickly finish the job. Their prices were very reasonable than some of the quotes I received for this job. I will certainly hire them for other jobs in/around the house.
Great service! Nick showed up to fix a closet door issue and a bedroom door that was having trouble closing. He was able to address both issues and offered to look at any other problems since we had no finished a full hour. He was also able to fix a gate that had trouble closing. Incredibly friendly. Would definitely recommend to friends who need things fixed around the house.
Sam responded to my request within minutes. I needed a steel security door removed. He immediately gave me confidence in his ability to get the job done efficiently and correctly. He did a phenomenal job and sent me a picture of the completed work. I highly recommend Sam and will ask for his services again.
I had a leak under the kitchen sink and also needed a new kitchen faucet. Nick came out and did an awesome job completing both tasks. He was very thorough and professional, and gave me some tips on using the new faucet and the drain valve. He also gave me some information on some future work that needed to be done in my kitchen. The price was very reasonable for the work that was done that day. That was a few months ago, and everything has
been working great ever since. I would highly recommend Sam & Nick, and will be calling them again soon.
needed a couple filing cabinets put together. sam was prompt and did a professional job. would highly recommend.
Sam is so easy to work with! I needed someone who could go to my rental property and fix a loose faucet. I texted Sam about what I needed and the renter's contact info and Sam set up an appointment with the renter quickly, went out to do the repair, and kept me informed every step of the way. Sam provides many different payment options. My loose faucet was fixed quickly and easily. Thanks Sam!
I am so grateful to have found Sam. I needed a lamp swagged, a pocket door fixed and a toilet wax ring replaced. Sam responded quickly, provided a detailed and fair estimate, and scheduled me right away. He did excellent work on my projects and I am so pleased with his results.
I highly recommend Sam Russo to anyone needing a handyman. Thanks Sam!
Sam Russo replied promptly to my text, and later emails, and gave me an estimate based on my description of all of the fixes we needed around our house. He quickly offered me a choice of dates and times. In the approximately hour and a half he was here, he accomplished miracles, making repairs that had been waiting far too long. He charged a reasonable fee for his services. He was pleasant, fast, efficient, well-prepared and we couldn't be happier with the work he did. Kudos to you, Sam! We are so grateful to you. We will call you again in the future, and will be happy to share your contact information with friends and neighbors.

I had contacted Sam about a project. He requested pictures and responded with an alternative solution that worked out great. Even though I did not hire Sam for a project, I appreciate his advice and would not hesitate to hire him.
These guys do great work and have always responded to every request I have had in a professional and polite manner. Trustworthy 10000%
Highly recommend Sam!
Sam did an excellent job on a laundry list of items and at very reasonable rates. He managed to complete everything in a very thorough manner all while conversing about a wide range of topics. If you are on the hunt for a good handyman look no further.
Nick works with Sam and he did a fantastic job installing our ceiling fans and light fixture. He was very efficient, thorough, and explained any questions we had without talking down to us. We will have another list of items to do for these guys soon and are looking forward to working with them in the near future. Great work guys!

My husband reached out to Sam about a minor project we wanted fixed. Sam let us know it's not in his wheelhouse and provided detailed recommendations of where else we may look. Really appreciated the speedy and helpful reply. We hope to have something in the future that is a good fit for Sam and we get to work with him. Thank you!

Sam is amazing!!! I had a HUGE list of things I needed fixed in my 112 year old home and he got through them in two hours. Great communication, he showed up on time, wore a mask and observed COVID-19 safety precautions, and has a great personality. I would recommend him to my family and friends in a heartbeat. Thank you for doing such a great job!

Sam is awesome!! He did a number of jobs for me including hanging 5 sets of curtains, hanging a large picture, swapping out a light fixture, setting up some garage storage racking, installing a wall TV, and more! Everything was done great and very much to my specification and liking. He was very friendly, on time, quick, and cleaned up any mess. I will definitely be using him again in the future when needed.

Sam was supposed to replace my cabinet door hinges because some of my existing ones were out of shape, but he promptly found out that the new hinges didn't quite fit. Not being one to give up easily, he proceeded to check and fix all my bent old hinges, so now the doors all close perfectly. He is very meticulous, and I highly recommend him, except that he is also very busy.
Sam was honest, prompt and reliable with his service an installation of our under the sink water filtration system. We will use him again in the future.
Hired Sam for a small job. Though the job did not go as smoothly as I would like, he still gets 5 stars from me bc like all the yelp reviewers mentioned, he's genuinely a nice and honest guy. I wish more businessmen was like him. Would not hesitate to hire him again in the future.
Out of all the handyman services we've used over the last decade, Sam is leaps and bounds the very best. He's is professional, skilled, punctual and affordable. He is most often booked out for a few weeks, which shows his services are in high demand due to his superior quality. Sam is now our our go to guy.

Sam completed a couple of new jobs for me this month. He installed new ceiling lights in my kitchen and replaced all the European hinges in my kitchen with replacements, adjusting them so now all my cupboards close instead of overlapping. He then returned to install a new chandelier in my dining room taking the time to assemble and adjust the height. I have a lot more projects on my wish list so I hope he is available:-)

I feel like I won the lottery finding Sam! We have had him replace light switches, install fans, light fixtures, fix doors, etc. He has done an excellent job on everything, we could not have been happier. His pricing is beyond reasonable, we would have spent three times as much to have an electrician do the same kind of work. He is very knowledgeable and even caught a few potentially dangerous issues with a light switch and some wiring.

So, I'm sitting here watching Sam skillfully tackling a complicated (for me) sun sail installation..with a broken hand! I'm in awe! From his initial contact (first person, best price) to his commitment to detail- Sam is the guy you want to call. He showed up early with Nick and they both calmly went on to ply their craft of problem-solving. Don't think- just call Sam. Unless, I need his help first...
Honestly I've never given anyone a review before but Sam was awesome! Deserve every bit of the 5 stars and more. Arrived early with a mask on and was very respectful. Not only did he fix my outlet and switches he explained everything and how he did it. Did an awesome neighborly thing for me and if I need anything else Sams my first call.

great communication. prompt. professional. knows what he is doing. reasonable pricing. honest. friendly. our go-to for any problem we can't tackle.
Sam is now our go to and he and Nick have completed several projects for us. I feel very lucky to have found Sam. The pricing is fair, they are very tidy and talk you through the plan. I would not hesitate in recommending Sam to anyone who needs handyman services.

Nick came out to do a few projects around our house, including installing some new security cameras, installing a smart switch, realigning one of our doors, and fixing a broken plank on our gate. He was very knowledgeable and got everything done quickly and efficiently. He was transparent about items that he would not be able to do, and even identified a few things that we had not originally identified that were able to be fixed (like our gate latch not aligning properly with the lock, it opens and closes much more smoothly now). Price was very fair and reasonable. Nick conducted himself like a true professional, and he did excellent work. We would definitely hire again for any future repairs/projects, and would highly recommend their services!
I hired Sam to install three outside light fixtures and he came out in the rain to do it. Also, while he was here, my gate was messed up and he re-hung it for me so that it's working again. I found Sam to be cordial, professional, and knowledgable. His prices are fair and I am definately going to use him again for the things I can no longer do for myself. Thank you, Sam!!

Sam is super knowledgable... definitely not out to get you money. He was honest and helpful and I can't thank him enough for the suggestion!!!!!
Professional and Super Friendly Service
Checked and scheduled service call and he was on time.
Considerate about health protocols and wore a mask!
Will use services again.
Sam stood out right from the time I was taking quotes from a shortlisted bunch of handymen. He was the most courteous of them all, and there was concise clarity in his text messages. These are things that matter to me and I was inclined to work with him. He scored again when he texted the day prior to communicate a slight change in the start time.
I'm most pleased as I write this testimonial now, just minutes after he got the work done and packed up. Sam and team arrived a little ahead of time, he took care to understand precisely everything we wanted done. And then we realized there were some portions that did not fit into the sequence of things and he educated us about it. He even spoke with our contractor to see if what he was thinking was right. It made complete sense and we decided to hold on to that part until the time was right and he was not going to charge us for the job not done.
In all this, I found Sam to be sincere, hardworking and pleasant to interact with. The job was carried out most efficiently and the place was all cleaned up. Thank you Sam, it was a joy having you over and I'm going to connect with you for the next project.

Sam came through and helped me build this garage shelf! Great rates and totally nice guy! Thanks again Sam and we will call you again when its time to put those ceiling fans!
I texted him to install a light. He replied quickly that he was booked and was friendly. I ended up installing the light myself but will contact him if I need anything else :)

we needed our dishwasher hardwired and Sam was prompt and so nice! he did it in a timely manner and was able to fix a small leak in the new dishwasher hose. he was incredibly personable and kind. we will be calling him if we need anything else done in our home! Highly recommend!
Sam is great, no nonsense guy. He makes sure the problem is fixed and that you are happy with the job. Best guy to contact when you have a problem.

Sam is a delight. He repaired an odd mix up of electrical wiring on my deck that two previous contractors could not repair.
A gregarious personality, and much experience makes Sam the best handyman I have met since moving to Sacramento five years ago.

Ran across Sam based on Yelp reviews. Every word is true. He's spot on, honest, and my go-to in the future. He cut a cat door for us in a solid wood door and was very careful not to disturb the structure. He's back at our house again for another appointment next week.

Sam was amazing! He worked on dishwasher, kitchen sink, blinds, a door, and wall repair for us, and did great work in everything. He was great to work with and worked very quickly and strategically to save us time and money. Highly recommend!
Sam came to fix a wall for us and our Ring camera. He is friendly, efficient and knows what he's doing! He cleans up after the project is complete. He gave some suggestions on other projects too. Thanks Sam!
I had some work to be done in my house and contacted Sam. Though he could not do the work, he was super prompt and very helpful. Just from that I can tell he is a 5 stars service provider.
Sam just helped us with a cosmetic renovation of one of our bathrooms; he installed bead board, chair rail trim, and new baseboards. As always, he did a great job at a very reasonable price. We're looking forward to doing more projects with Sam in the near future.

Helped install two new outdoor fans for my patio cover a few years ago, still working great! Fast, reliable and honest!
Excellent customer service. Arrived promptly, did an excellent job replacing my kitchen faucet and HVAC condensation pump. Sam took the initiative to adjust the door to the Heater closet that was catching - just because I will continue to call Sam to projects around the house.

Sam was responsive and work to install RO system was top notch at reasonable price. He was very upfront and open on the amount of time it would take. Definitely would repeat for any other work.
I hired Sam based on the reviews here on yelp. I was not disappointed. He texted me and asked if he could come early, which was fine [actually more than fine] with me. He arrived wearing a mask, which I greatly appreciate, as I have been religiously quarantining for over 6 months now. He had all the tools he needed to install my light fixture and replace some trim on my floor. He was friendly and knowledgeable. And did I say he did a fantastic job??? He charges a fair price and cleans up after himself. He will now be my go-to person when I need things done around the house. I will recommend him to anyone I come across. You absolutely cannot go wrong hiring Sam.

Sam & Nick are the best! If you're not a DIY person and need a local handyman, contact Sam. Both him and Nick are knowledgeable in what they do and they go the extra mile. As a first-time homeowner who doesn't know anything about home improvements, they gave me tips on preventative maintenance which is something to consider if you don't want to end up spending more in the end when it could've been fixed early on. Thank you for the wonderful services and always being accommodating!! Couldn't recommend them enough.
I didn't end up working with Sam, because my project was out of scope for him, but I could tell from my interactions that he was awesome, knowledgable, and honest.
Happy to provide a 5 star review after Sam completed a small project involving water damage from a leaking refrigerator line. Professional, knowledgeable, and works efficiently. Only downside there is a wait to get an appointment, probably as the result of happy repeat customers!

AMAZING!! All the Yelp reviews are true. I'm a senior living in a single story home. Simple chores are getting more challenging for me. My wife and I made up a list of about 15 small jobs/repairs that have accumulated over a few months. Looking on Yelp for a handyman, we liked Sam's website and reviews.
He's busy (understandably), but we got an appointment Friday morning. He was punctual. We discussed our need for a handyman periodically. He understood our situation and was willing to help us. He went right to work on our job list - very efficient, lots of experience, friendly, and can recommend someone if a different expertise is needed. He finished our list in just a few hours, with a trip to the local Home Depot. Meticulous and tidy, AND he likes dogs.
We couldn't be more pleased with Sam and his work.
Thank you.
Sam was punctual, knowledgable, polite and fast. High caliber craftsmanship and I will definately hire him again. He put together our cat condo and its AWESOME.

Sam was very responsive to my request for a quote and follow up scheduling messages. He did a high-quality job rebuilding a window shelf in the front of my house, gave me a great price, and went above and beyond my expectations by color-matching the original paint and repainting the wood prior to installation to save me the effort.
Sam was professional and wonderful to work with from start to finish. He takes pride in his work and it shows.
Thanks Sam!

Nick was super helpful in helping us replace/upgrade 3 outdoor lights, 2 indoor ceiling fans/lights and light bulbs over our stairs that we couldn't reach - really appreciate the help!
I had a problem with a couple of bedroom doors that wouldn't fully close. Nick of Sam Russo Handyman came to the house to fix the doors. He explained why the doors wouldn't close and what he could do. Nick was very professional and got the job done. Doors now work great. While he was at the house, I had him give cost estimates of other things that needed fixing. Sam Russo Handyman will be the business I will turn to the next time I need a handyman.

My son played monkey bar with the bathroom towel rack, and the left post broke off.. hole in the wall. Sam was quick to respond with an estimate and we decided on a date for him to fix the hole. He arrived on time, looked the issue up close and performed his magic. Hole got patched up and textured to match the wall. Very pleased with Sam's work, his kindess and sense of humor. Definitely recommend!
Sam was outstanding to work with. Quick to respond to messages. Transparent. Efficient. Friendly. Would definitely recommend

Sam saved my mother!!!
She got ripped off for $250 for 40 minues of shoddy fence repair work by another handyman.
He came and fixed it all and completed additional work in less than 1 hour.
Charged $60.
Awesome job well done. I reccomend him.
Sam was very responsive, really helpful and very knowledgeable with the information he shared regarding my proposed project. His prices seem very reasonable as well. I will definitely be hiring him to help me with it if I can get on his schedule.
I contacted Sam Russo after reading his raving reviews on Yelp. After moving to Rocklin, we needed our three smart TV's mounted on the wall and the family room large TV to be installed as a home theater with surround sound. I first cancelled the appointment with those expensive home theater company guys who would have charged me an arm and a leg and called Sam Russo. His co-worker Nick along with Sam did an excellent job and we were so happy not to have been charged an arm and a leg. These guys are amazing, courteous and professional and know how to fix, install, and do a lot of things so I urge you to give them a call. They are pretty reasonable as well. So I highly recommend Sam Russo and Nick and I will use their services again.
Updating my review as Nick with Sam Russian Handyman has assisted us multiple times and he is always prompt, super professional, courteous friendly and a pro at his work. We've had the following work done:
- 3 security cameras installed and with perfect angles on the first set up.
- a large mirror in entrance hall
- a wonderful piece of art also hung in hall
- Ring Doorbell
And neighbors had various items completed on our referral by Sam and Nick.
Highly recommended!
I recently had a new bathroom vanity installed and it left gaps on both sides. I coordinated with Sam and he was able to fill the gaps beautifully with a toe kick I purchased that matched the vanity exactly. He also hung an accordian door in my laundry area and replaced the baseboard in my upstairs bathroom. I found Sam to be personable, professional and efficient. He was able to give me a quote upfront based on my projects and I found it to be very reasonable. I would highly recommend him for your handyman needs.
Sam has been a huge help! He helped repair/replace a fallen shelf, a set of broken blinds, and a broken garbage disposal. All in a couple short hours.
He was upfront with my quote, fast with responding, on time, and sent pics of his work after it was done. He even took the time to examine an issue w the toilet (the flange was broken and toilet was leaking at the bottom), but he was professional enough to refer me to someone else as it was a little outside his scope. I really respect that he didn't try to fix it without being totally sure he could. Some others might do it and make it worse!
Thank you Sam!! I'll definitely use his services again!

Sam was great to work with, excellent communication good price, very friendly and did a great job, I wouldn't hesitate to hire again
Sam,is the Best..Knows his stuff.Very helpful.I was unfamiliar with misters and Sam was kind enough to give me recommendations for misters.Took his advice,purchased and he installed. They work perfectly,and the installation was perfect. Can't go wrong with Sam !
At this point I have hired Sam Russo for so many jobs, its hard to recount them all. It started a little over a year ago when he saved me a fortune in kitchen remodeling costs by being willing to only rebuild the two cabinets that had been lost to water damage, unlike all the other handyman and contractors who where only willing to gut and redo the entire cabinetry in the kitchen. Sam came in and within three days later we had a fully functional kitchen again, with some bonus add on modifications including slide out drawers. At this point I knew Sam was my go to person for any house work I needed done.
Since then he has made my house intelligent (installing Nest, Alexa and several other smart house devices), re-wired and reinstalled smoke detectors, re-screened all of my windows, add security door to front of house and a sliding screen door to back of house.
In his latest stroke of genius he helped make my life easy during my wife's pregnancy by helping with multiple different projects around of remolding and preparing the new child's room by installing new hardwood floor, painting, and best of all, adding a retractable screen door so that we can keep the cats out while still having the door open.
Alll in all, not a single project or idea I wouldn't run by Sam Russo handyman first to see if he would do it. In fact, I have since sent him over to my grandma's house to start helping with her long laundry list of items. Like I said, Sam Russo helps makes life easy, by getting the job done right the first time and with excellent care and precision.
I am very pleased with the work we had done. They were quick to respond and gave an accurate quote. The work was done professionally and quickly. I will definitely be using this handyman service for future repairs and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable handyman.
Due to reviews here, I contacted Sam and he gave me a quote for assembling 2 cabinets for my garage. He sent one of his employees Nick for the appointment. Nick arrived on time and was masked up in the garage. I told him he could take it off as I was vaccinated and he said he was too and he was working in the garage anyway. He did not waste any time and got started and was very efficient. He was finished much faster than I could have done it If I wanted to do it. In fact, the next day Sam gave me a refund of some of what I had paid to Nick at the end of the job due to the job requiring less time than anticipated. That was awesome! Whether it be Sam or Nick. I was very happy with this business arrangement.
Installed a direct-connect water filter under our sink in the kitchen. Did a great job. Everything worked perfectly and no leaks. Sam and Nick are great to work with. They do a good job every time.
Sam Russo is the best handyman my wife and I have ever hired. He's smart and skilled and his prices are more than fair. He installed an interior barn door for us and did just an outstanding job. Sam will respond PROMPTLY unlike some handymen and show up on time for the job. He works fast but he's a perfectionist who obviously takes great pride in his work. Highest possible recommendation.

Sam did an outstanding job installing 8 foot sliding closet doors in our guest bedroom. He worked efficiently and charged a very reasonable fee. We're very satisfied and will be hiring him again for future projects.
Sam provides impeccable service and professionalism! I wish I could give him 10 stars!
He was able to (singlehandedly) assemble an 8 foot desk using a countertop for a large workspace in our home office. We discussed how to best support the length in its entirety and he was able to make a quick trip to Home Depot, purchase what was needed for the project, and even more quickly cut the beams to appropriate length and install the whole thing! I requested quotes for this work from multiple handymen in the area and he undoubtedly has the best prices in town.
Sam is easily one of the best handymen to work with as he is friendly, incredibly knowledgable, and fast with his work without compromising quality. He is incredibly thorough and makes sure things are done the right way. He also helped me with a few miscellaneous projects like stabilizing a towel ladder and cutting some kitchen liners. He offers to do more projects if your paid hour(s) come up short (since he is so fast!). I was also able to ask him a few questions and get some advice from him about other home projects; he shares information and tips freely! He cleans up after himself and makes sure everything is vacuumed/wiped down, that his hands are clean when touching your home and belongings, that garbage is taken care of, and is always being mindful where he is stepping and removing his shoes as needed. Because Sam is truly a 5 star handyman, you might have to wait to land on his schedule, but I promise that it is worth the wait and you will be happy with the work and the cost!
Highly recommend Sam for any sort of project you are working on and need some extra assistance with!

Omg, I found my all rounder handyman who can do all he said he can and fast too. Great communicator, great prices, easy going, thorough and efficient on doing his job. I didn't think he can do it all in one day but he did and early too so I can pick up my son from school.
Created me a different location for my attic access (was inside my closet who would want insulation always falling off to their clean clothes) moved to hallway, installed two backyard patio posts, and installed my bifold closet door.
Sam got back to me quickly when I reached out through yelp, and even did a little research on the issue I was trying to fix before coming over. He was able to squeeze me in a little earlier than expected, patched up a hole in our drywall quickly, then was able to give some advice on the rest of the project (which my wife and I were already planning do do ourselves) before he headed out. 100% recommended!

Sam came to my residence to assess damage to my fence caused by the last storm. Unfortunately, Sam was unable to do the job. He was honest on his assessment of the repair and I appreciated his honesty. I will consider him to do future repairs to my home, and certainly recommend him to friends and family.

The service provided by Sam Russo Handyman was excellent! They came out the day after I made the request, completed the task with no issues, were courteous. I will definitely be using them in the future.
This is a long overdue review. Sam replied in a timely matter and was able to send Nick out about 3 days after. Nick installed 5 lights for me and did it in a timely matter. He was also suppose to install my new kitchen light but upon further inspections, he saw that a part of it started to rust, so he advised I should probably get a replacement since I paid lots of money for it and wanted the best. Super happy he did because I didn't even bother taking the light out and inspecting it. I will have to contact Sam again for the kitchen light replacement and will probably be doing some light switches upgrades too!

I cant say enough about this fantastic handyman and gracious human being. He arrived on time and went to work installing (2) hand-held shower heads, and hung a wall decor piece over our fire place. Only Sam will be getting our future business. The professionalism and the peace of mind that comes with it are so worth it.
I know Sam for two years. He is very nice guy and always did a good job. His teammate Nick is a super nice guy too. They are very friendly and personable. The prices were very reasonable than others. You can trust them very much! Definitely I recommend them and Sam is the first person I call if I need help.
Sam created stairwell supplemental safety rails for my 2 story house (and also put up some bathroom grab bars-- all per my healthcare provider's recommendations.)
He is an unusually thoughtful, cost effective handyman. He worked proactively to make my home safer and I am benefiting daily from his outstanding work,
I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again.

I have to give a big, Thank You to Sam Russo for a job well done. He's professional, knowledgeable, and honest! I'm completely satisfied with the work he preformed at our house and will recommend him anytime someone ask for a great Handyman.
Needed to have a security door installed and reached out to a bunch of handymen for estimates. I got some wildly different estimates and some as high as $350! Sam had a very reasonable cost and between that and his glowing yelp reviews decided to go with him. So glad I did. Job was done in about 45 minutes and he even took a look at some electrical issues I have been having at no extra cost. Great guy and look forward to working with him again when jobs comes up that are beyond my skill level. Awesome!!
Sam did an excellent job! We've had his dad a number of times and Sam is every bit as professional and competent! He arrived on time and worked really hard for several hours. Very easy to communicate with- he texts right back and went above and beyond to provide excellent service! Very reasonable price as well. We recommend Sam highly.
Hired Sam back in March 2021 for a whole slew of projects before moving into my new home and several times afterwards. Projects included putting up light fixtures, installing plumbing fixtures, curtain rods/curtains for the whole house, blinds, assembling several pieces of furniture, putting up bird deterrent spikes, putting up a fireplace mantle, installing video doorbell. Sam and Nick have both been great. They are personable, prompt, trustworthy, diligent, and have integrity. They have stayed late to finish up work and even came in on a Saturday as they weren't able to finish up the work the day before. They even came out urgently when my movers left me in a pinch with hooking up the washer/dryer. They are always happy to explain the process and give advice. Prices are reasonable and work exceptional. Will definitely hire again and recommend to friends and family.

This is the third time I've utilized Sam. This time it was to replace three parts for my stove top fan. In order to replace the parts, Sam had to tear apart the fan. Despite Inadequate directions from the manufacture, Sam was able to figure it out. He had to make two trips to my house due the manufacture's lack of directions. However, he only charged me for one visit. i highly recommend Sam for handyman work. He is honest, fair and does great work.
Sam and team provide high quality support at a reasonable price. They're professional and timely and polite. I will use them any time I need anything done at home.
I called Sam due to the reviews on Yelp. I needed a few things around the house that needed attention but especially some water damage near the baseboards. Made contact with Sam and sent him some pictures. Long story short, he called me twice, giving feedback on the symptoms of damaged baseboards and walkthrough.
It turns out I did not need him for this visit due to the extent of potential damage but he spent plenty of time giving feedback and assistance over the phone. Remarkable. I will not hesitate to contact him when I have projects that are aligned with his skills. Based on my experience, all of his 5-star reviews are legit.

I had a ceiling fan replaced & a new door put on my outside hot water heater closet. Both jobs were done perfectly at reasonable prices. Sam responded to my request quickly & the work was done by Nick. Excellent service.
Nick was great! He went above and beyond with the repairs I needed to my home! Made some good recommendations and was very knowledgeable! Will definitely use Sam and Nick again!
Sam and Nick are absolute treasures! I contacted Sam through Yelp about installing a bath exhaust fan. He replied promptly and asked some intelligent questions about my project, which impressed me and made me feel confident in his expertise and his attention to detail. I scheduled the work, and on the agreed day Sam and Nick arrived on time and prepared.
Both guys were clearly very skilled and experienced, and their manner was both friendly and professional. Sam is that rarest of rare breeds, a highly skilled craftsman who also understands the importance of good customer service. He listened carefully to my preferences and instructions, and was great about explaining any details that I wanted to know.
The finished work was top notch. Sam described himself as a perfectionist, which does not surprise me given the quality of his work and the care he took during all phases of the project.
Finally I have to add that both Sam and Nick were a pleasure to interact with. They were in my home for half a day, and I never found myself wishing they would hurry up and leave. They were just the nicest guys you could imagine. My new bath fan looks perfect and is working flawlessly, and I'm already planning to call them back for another project, some recessed lighting for my dining room. Thanks Sam and Nick!

Sam was very easy to communicate with and quick in responding, and his colleague Nick came out and did an equally excellent job making a few repairs for us! He was courteous (took off his shoes just from noticing we had shoes outside our house and I didn't even have to ask), informative on all the repair work he provided, friendly, and I am so thrilled to have found these two! I will be using them again very soon for more repairs!

I contacted Sam via Yelp messaging. He was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. We made a plan and picked a date. His employee, Nick, arrived and quickly understood and resolved the problems with my toilets. Nick was polite, kept me informed along the way, and didn't waste a minute. The charge was fair. I am very very happy with Sam Russo and will make him my go-to handyman.
Sam did a wonderful job installing two ceiling fans for us. One of the fans needed a brace and new box installed. He also switched out a light switch from a dimmer to regular switch for one of the rooms.
Nick with Sam Russo Handyman came this morning to work on various lighting, ceiling fan, and plumbing issues in the home. He was timely, responsive, very detail oriented, and respectful of my home. He wore a mask and laid down mat to protect the carpet from dirt. Everything was cleaned up after he was done. This experience exceeded my expectations and I will definitely use their services again. Highly recommend.

I needed to have a dishwasher installed that I had just purchased. Because it was hard wired, the store I had purchased from could not install it. I was left with the task of finding a handy man who could install it for me. After much research, Sam Russo responded quickly to my request, quoted me a very fair price and made an appointment with me for the following day. Not only was my dishwasher installed perfectly, he noticed a problem with my garbage disposal and fixed that as well! Since the dishwasher drains through the disposal, he corrected a problem I had dealt with for years. I was very happy with the service, the quality and the professionalism. Sam Russo will be my go-to handy man service from here on!

My neighbor hired Sam to mend the broken fence between our properties. He did a great job. I hired him to install a ceiling fan in each of the kids rooms and a new faucet on the kitchen sink last week. He arrived on time and did his work quickly. I was a little scared when he told me he charged by the hour. I think a plumber would have charged me more for the faucet install than I paid for it and the installation of the 2 ceiling fans! Sam is on speed dial.

Sam did a great job on our sink. He fully replaced the sink and cleaned up the area underneath. He saved us a ton of money not needing to replace the countertop. We will definitely be using his services again soon.
Sam came over and assembled a patio furniture set from home depot I recently bought. While it probably would have taken me all day to complete, he was done quickly within the estimated time he gave. He showed up on time and was prompt. I would use him again for this kind of work as his prices are very competitive as well.
By far the best handyman I've used! Responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and very customer-oriented. He showed up right on time, fixed everything I had lined up plus a couple of extra things, and completed all of the work at a very reasonable cost. I would definitely use his services again and highly recommend him to anyone. I can see why he has so many five-star reviews!
Sam showed up on time and was very professional. Got to the core of our issues and helped resolve them. Thank you Sam!

Sam did an excellent job replacing my old mailbox with a new one. He had to drill through 12 inches of concrete to get it done. See the before and after pictures which don't do it justice. I'll definitely be calling him back for more work in the future.

Great contractor. Works on time and manages hourly time well. He's my first call anytime I need work done.
Called because I needed a handyman for some odd jobs around the house. Wow! What a great find! I was able to get an appointment within two days. Nick showed up and completed all the jobs quickly. And even cleaned up! So nice and outgoing. They will be my go-to handyman services for everything now.

First time's a charm! I chose Sam Russo to do some repairs after reading Yelp reviews. He works energetically and quickly and is so good fixing things. I had put off getting repairs that were bugging me for so long, and Sam made short work of them as in he really was here I'm sure, because everything is fixed! When I need something done, I know who to call and no more procrastination! Thanks so much Sam

Called Sam to install a ceiling fan that I tried but failed to make work. He was able to have Nick come over in a short notice (a couple days from me contacting Sam) and got the fan running smoothly. Nick was efficient, knowledgable and professional. Great service, can't recommend enough. Thank You!
I am soooo thankful to have found Sam! He came to my rescue on a mix of electrical fixes and installations that were beyond my scope, and within a matter of hours resolved what I had been struggling with for months. He responded quickly to my request, showed up when we agreed, provided a very reasonable estimate and took care of my problems without making me feel like my job was not worth his time. I would recommend Sam Russo in a heartbeat!
I contacted Sam Russo for a fence repair.
I sent Sam the details of my issue and a photo, so he could assess it and provided me with a quote. I was able to do all this with a couple of text messages.
Sam came by, repaired the fence in record time, and gave me the best price I have seen in the industry.
Sam, I can not thank you enough for the time and work on resolving my fence issue.
You are a true professional who takes pride of his craft. You met all my expectations.
I am beyond happy to have worked with you and can not wait to call for future repair services.

I reached out to Sam to install a ceiling fan in my master bedroom, as my current fan was broken and suffering through some of the warmer nights we had been getting lately was not ideal! Sam responded really quickly with a more than fair quote (especially compared to others I received), and was able to come by only a few days later.
I've had some BAD experiences with other handymen and was pleasantly surprised at how easy Sam made this experience. He brought a blanket to lay down under his work area, which I really appreciated since I have a white rug directly beneath the fan. He was able to remove the old fan and install the new one in under an hour, and even explained why the old fan broke so quickly and helped resolve the issue so it wouldn't happen again. He cleaned up the area when he was done and left the old fan in a state in which I could easily dispose of it. He was very polite and personable, and had great customer service.
Sam is a great handyman under any circumstances. That said, given the state of the world right now and the impact all businesses, but especially small businesses, are experiencing due to shelter-in-place restrictions, I'm of the opinion that Sam really is the best option for any handyman related work and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
Nick came to install our two new facets, did a great job. Fair pricing, showed up on time, and was super friendly. Would definitely use Sam and Nicks services again. Nick even tightened and fixed a slow leak on other sink at no charge. Awesome company!

Sam came out today and trimmed down some doors that need to be adjusted due to new carpet. He was great, and we will definitely be contacting him again.
Sam has helped us out several times. He is always on time, systematic, thorough, organized, and efficient with his and our time. He is courteous, respectful, knowledgeable, and funny. He is also innovative. Sam is relentless and sticks with a job to the end. He cleans up afterward as well.
Sam has worked on ceiling fan/light, outlet switches, decking, lighting, furniture repair, closet door adjustment, ring installation, security light/camera installation and even helped put awkward boxes into the garage attic.
We look forward to many more tasks being completed and scratched off the honey do list...including the mirror closet doors that are still on a ship out in the ocean somewhere and expected to get unloaded next November, a year from our purchase date from Home Depot!

I had a complicated electrical situation on my deck. Two not-so-handymen had tried and given up trying to repair. Sam was able to solve the mystery of the crossed wires in no time at all. Finally, functioning lights on my deck. He timely and thoughtful. Thanks Sam.
Punctual, hard working, does quality work, and offers a fair price. What more could you want in a handyman? We must have had him over here at least 5 or 6 times to do various projects to our new home, and all have been done excellently. Highly recommended.

I contacted Sam, along with several other handyman service providers for a quote on several small projects including furniture assembly, repair of towel racks, and a few outdoor wall hangings. Sam was the first to respond (very quickly) and scheduled us for an appointment with Nick only a few days out. Nick phoned on the day to let me know he was on the way. I showed him the projects and he went to work. He was at our house for 3 hours and completed all the jobs I had lined up plus investigated a couple more. He was really, really nice and helpful and patiently answered all my questions! I plan to use Sam & Nick for all my handyman needs and would definitely recommend them!
Will definitely use Sam again for future needs. I contacted him through Yelp about a backyard sump pump needing replacement and in less than an hour he was in contact with me. We texted a few times to hash out the details and he showed up right on time ready to do the job. This guy knows his stuff. He had all the tools, parts, glues, wrenches...everything at his disposal. He's a delightful guy to chat with and patiently answered any questions I had. Now we just need another rain storm to put this thing to a true test! Thanks again Sam :)
We had our kitchen faucet installed by Nick, and he did such a great job! Let me start by saying we were impressed right from the beginning. Nick arrived right on time and was very nice, professional, and knowledgeable. I asked him a few questions about our previous faucet and he explained everything in a way I could understand. He was also very quick in installing it. We are so happy to have contacted Sam to get our faucet installed. The price was also a lot cheaper than everyone else I had contacted. We are definitely going to be contacting Sam again for any future work we need to get done. I definitely recommend Sam and his workers to anyone who needs a kitchen faucet repair or any other house installations:).
Sam did an excellent job on the work I hired him to complete. He showed up on time and completed all of the work I needed. After he waited in a line at a home repair store that required him to wait for 45 minutes, he did not charge me for that time. He was fair and did his best work. I was very happy with his performance. He was also very professional and friendly. I will rehire Sam in the future.

Phenomenal service! My husband and I needed a new dish washer hardwired and Sam was amazing! He was prompt and even fixed a small leak in hose that the dishwasher came with. We will definitely be calling Sam if we need anything else!
Nick from Sam Russo Handyman came out this morning and did an awesome job replacing the seal on our toilet and a couple other odds and ends. Very personable, professional, and on time - and our dog liked him too! Will use again.
Sam is a great handyman to use. I would highly recommend him. He replaced a bathroom light/fan unit for me. It was not a standard fit or situation. Even though it was more difficult, he completed it with utmost care and precision, and in a timely fashion. A very knowledgeable guy, and easy to work with.

For years the only person I would call for ANY repair work on my house was Pete Russo. Simply the best, most knowledgeable, most honest handyman I've ever engaged. I was bummed when he told me he was retiring. The saving grace was that he told me he had a son in the same business: Sam. Well, the apple don't fall far from the tree. Sam is Pete version 2. Like his father, Sam is amazing. Generous with advice over the phone/text, personable, professional, honest, and knows his trade. So look no further. Sam is who you want to fix your problem. He'll become your new handyman, you'll tell your friends and post on Yelp like I'm doing, and it will take me a little longer to get an appointment. But not a problem. I'll always wait for Sam because I want the job done correctly, honestly and priced fairly by a good, ethical person. You'll see.

Sam is terrific!! We had a vanity and some vanity lights installed and Sam did an amazing job. Very knowledgeable, responsive, and prompt. Always willing to help and give tips to try to save. We also had some outside lights replaced by Nick who was also incredible. We will use them again and again!!!

I just installed a under sink water filter and light switch replacement done by Nick. He is really a nice and wonderful guy. He came on time and make sure there is no water leakage before he left. Besides, he gave me some advice regarding secure camera installation which is really helpful and will save me some money. If I have any other problems, he is the handyman to be called again and again. Hi Sam: He is really an asset to your company. Thank you very much, Nick!

GREAT honest person that you can trust and have a good conversation with. He has been my go to guy for years and even though I have to wait so long for an opening in his busy busy schedule (because he is so good) it is well worth the wait. Just a genuine good person not so easy to come by these days, sad but true. Thanks Sam your the best.
Happy New Year
Sam does amazing work! He is efficient and honest and communicates both with texts and pictures very well! He has reasonable rates and gets the work done efficiently. I would highly recommend him for any handyman services.

We needed ceiling fans installed in our home. I put a request out to Yelp and Sam answered right away. He was friendly, professional, and made everything easy! I had to reschedule as our appointment date got closer but he was ready with an alternate timeframe. He was able to set it up and the job was quickly done! I will contact Sam again without hesitation if there's another job to be done.
Nick came out to swap out a couple ceiling fans for us. We couldn't be happier. Nick is super personable, fast but careful, and very knowledgeable and capable. We love our new fans and plan to have a couple more changed out with Nick or Sam soon! Sam has done many projects for us in the past and we are always super happy with the work, and getting to meet Nick today was another great treat. Very reasonable prices, too. Thank you both!
Sam was very responsive to my initial inquiry, and we were able to communicate through Yelp to discuss options and decide on what we needed. In the end, we had the ballasts replaced in a light fixture rather than replace the entire fixture. Since it was a smaller job, we were able to get on his schedule within a couple of days. Reasonable price as well. Will definitely use Sam in the future!!

I am always highly skeptical of a perfect review for a person/company/organization. Not that it's impossible but did you really do that great is my thought process.
Well Sam Russo has thrown my skepticism out the window. Imagine, if you will, having your best friends dad come over to your house and just casually whirlwind through repairing everything that's broken. Then imagine that person with a beard and glasses and you have the delightfully talented Sam Russo. I'm extremely cautious of who I invite into my home to do work. So this was a venture into the wild side to invite a handyman from Yelp in. However I cannot say I regret it one bit.
Not only is Sam personable and engaging, he doesn't interact with you as though he is the all knowing technician. He goes out of his way to make sure you understand what he's doing, that he's completing the tasks to your preference and while he moves surprisingly quick he doesn't make you feel like you're wasting his time.
There's a reviewer who has posted that they've considered giving Sam one star to keep him a secret. I absolutely understand their rationale. I definitely feel like I've found a keeper and I'm honestly more than happy to squeeze into his busy schedule (which I now can absolutely understand why it's so busy!). I can't imagine even trying to look for another handyman even half as talented. Thanks for making this so easy Sam!
Great communication about scheduling, arrival time, and the details of the repair...awesome customer service! My project was a ceiling fan that was making a scraping sound as it rotated. Nick identified the problem and had it fixed quickly. Fair price for a great job. I'll definitely use Sam's service again.
Highly recommend!! Nick was on time. Wore a mask for the whole visit. Very professional. Made sure I was totally satisfied with the work that was done. Need handyman services? Call Sam Russo!
Sam is the man! My impression after hiring Sam for a few projects....it's like a good honest trustworthy friend came over to help you out. That's how I'd describe Mr. Sam Russo. Excellent communication too. He is clear on what he can help with for sure and he also explains in easily understood terms the what, why, how, etc of whatever you're repairing and/or replacing. His pricing is honest and fair. Treat this guy with respect and I'm sure you'll be impressed with his work. Be patient though. These days, most contractor types are busy with work with a great deal of people working from home. Thanks again for your help Sam.
I would love to keep Sam all to myself but I just had to write a review. He did an amazing job with small projects around my home. We got new shelves in bathrooms, hammocks hung from the ceiling, and a closet revamp with new closet rod and supports. Sam is very polite, professional, fast, and friendly. The work he does is great and you should not hesitate to give him a call for your projects.
I will 100% be hiring Sam again for the future.

Called Sam back again because the first door handle was bent and unable to install. We had a hard time getting the company to replace it - unfortunately, the second handle was bent as well. So we have to get another handle and call Sam back -- I told him to charge us for his time anyway, and was told we would not be charged because the job wasn't completed. No fault of Mr. Russo, in fact, his installer was able to straighten the handle, but the thumb turn would not fit on our door. We will try again with new hardware.
His company is our go to for sure. Where do you get such professional service as this? And yes, Sam does have the coolest logo in town. Thank you for your help.

I had 3 ceiling fans and 4 smart lock deadbolts installed. Service was prompt, polite and on time, and the prices are reasonable. I would not hesitate to do business again.
I highly recommend Sam Russo Handyman service! I have used their services for installing my under sink water filtration system and 3 outdoor security cameras which required multiple visits due to the cameras malfunctioning (no fault of the handyman service--I exchanged the cameras)--In fact Nick goes the extra mile in helping set up the security system. Any other company would have charged me a lot more for when they came out but couldn't complete the visit due to the camera issues, but they didn't charge me and saved me $$$--trustworthy establishment. Also Nick couldn't be a greater guy, always prompt, so helpful, patient, efficient, knowledgeable, and is even nice to my kitty! and oh yeah! The work quality is excellent!
We've used Sam for numerous jobs at our home over the last 4 years or so. This has included replacing baseboards, grout repair, vanity plumbing installation, door repairs, hanging a new towel rack and more. He always goes above and beyond to ensure quality work. He's extremely knowledgeable, efficient, provides helpful advice, and is simply a good person. We find his prices to be more than reasonable for the quality of work he provides. I'd recommend Sam without reservation.

Sam was very easy to work with and very responsive to all of my questions and messages. He let me know he was running late for his appointment and showed up when he said he would! He worked fast and efficiently and did a great job! Will definitely be keeping him in mind for future projects.
Told us he would be coming to our house at 11:00 am and never showed. I messaged through Yelp asking if he was still coming and whoever is managing his account (wife? friend?) said she forgot to add our appointment to his schedule. So why even confirm he is coming??? We needed to install a new kitchen faucet to replace an old one that wasn't working so we really needed this to be done urgently and had to go through someone else to get it done. We wasted a whole day.

Sam performed some drywall patching, outlet repair, weather stripping install, and door trimming for my rental property. Sam even took the time to educate me on how to perform some of the work that was completed and other things I could do around the property. Great resource for handyman related work. Prices were fair and completed work in a timely manner. Will definitely recommend and will be using him again.

Sam is great!!! Very honest, knows his stuff. He couldn't fix my door but he informed me what I need to do and a couple of options all for no charge. I am glad I found him because definitely will be calling him for other projects! Finally found an honest handyman, reasonable too!
Sam did a great job to install a door for me. Fairly priced and professional work. Highly recommend.

I sent a service request to several handymen on Yelp, including a picture of the project. Two handymen simply replied they were booked - whereas Sam took the time to look at the picture and suggest a remedy to try myself, even Photoshopping in a little arrow to clarify what he was recommending. Lo, it worked like a charm. That's a level of professional courtesy I cynically don't except to see these days, so I am both grateful and impressed. Thank you so much.
Sam is awesome! He helped us with installing recessed lights, replacing the old bathroom room vents. He also kindly gave us lots of advice on many other projects that we have for our new house. We really appreciate his timely help.
Sam was quick to respond and Nick did a great job installing my cabinet handles. Will call again next project!

Sam and Nick are great to work with. They came to our house and did a large number of tasks including several small repairs, installing shower heads, installing lighting, etc. The appointment was easy to schedule and they came on time. They did A LOT of work in a very short time and got our house in much better shape. They had a lot of knowledge about various items and how to maintain the house better and shared that with us. They genuinely wanted to help. The price was very reasonable for the amount of work accomplished. These will be our go-to guys for any handyman work!
Second time using them and again, very professional and friendly service! Our technician was Nick and he replaced our garbage disposal. Everything was done well and efficiently. Definitely recommend..!

Sam is a little hidden gem in the handyman space. Friendly, clean and does the work set out to do and then some. He helped replace a broken faucet, replace a bib hose and provide respectable advice for other needs.
I should have done the review right after the service was done because I forgot the guy's name! Anyway, he works for or with Sam Russo and he is fabulous! I will definitely use Sam Russo Handyman again. It is really nice to find someone I can trust, and will do a great job. Thank you!
Sam is simply Awesome. He was right on time. Got the job done to perfection!. Would recommend him any day.
I reached out to Sam to fix all of the items on our home report from a recent home purchase and he has been really easy to do business with since our initial call. Today he came over and took care of all of the outstanding issues on the report in a couple of hours and he really took the time to discuss problem areas with us and give recommendations. There were a couple items on the list I did not think he would be able to fix and they were not a problem for him. I also thought his rates were reasonable and fair for his services. Thank you Sam and see you next time.

I needed a screen door put in and couldn't find a handyman. Mostly because you never know who is fair and who you can trust. My previous handyman retired and doesn't take on anymore work.
I seen the reviews and thought I'd give Sam a chance. I'm so glad I did.
He's just a good guy. Fair, nice, clean and accurate. I am already making a list of things I might need him for in the future.
The process from start to finish was easy. He runs a good business. He was friendly and on time. Would definitely call him for future projects.
Great top notch handyman! Highly recommended. Professional, great communication and reasonable. If you need it done, done right and on time - call Sam!

Everything was great- from the quick text response, to the scheduling, and of course all the random projects we needed to have completed around the house. Also I really appreciated that they showed up with a mask and asked about our shoe policy in the house! We will definitely have these folks back as our regular handyman company!

I needed two small repairs for two plumbing issues resulting from poor work by our kitchen contractor (I will be updating a review on Kitchen Mart next). I had a leaking sink strainer on my bar sink and my main kitchen faucet had leaked, causing significant dry rot to the wood deck under my counter. Both issues were caused by the Kitchen Mart installer using silicone caulk instead of plumber's putty. To make matters worse, they had stripped the ring on the strainer and used caulk to hold it in place. Long story short, Sam fixed both issues quickly and efficiently, explaining what he was doing and why. I will definitely refer him to others and use him again when I run into something I can't do myself.
Sam Has been doing work for me for years. I recommend him out as a handyman as he recommends me out as a drywall contractor. Awesome customer service!

I ordered an expensive bathroom vanity online, and it arrived completely unassembled. After organizing the twenty+ wood pieces and over a hundred screws, dowel pins, hinges, handles, slides, etc., I knew it was far beyond my skill set to attempt to put it together. I also had two large bathroom mirrors that needed to be hung. After reading the reviews on Yelp, I contacted Sam with the details and asked if he serviced the Davis area. I received a quote, which I considered reasonable, and we set up an appointment. I was advised that Nick would be handling the job, and I was given a one hour window for his arrival. What a knowledgeable and personable guy he is! Not only did he complete the projects perfectly, but it is refreshing to have someone you immediately like and trust, and I know that this company is the one I will rely on for future work. Highly recommended for quality work at very honest prices.
Sam Russo review
Nick B. came to repair our front door that wouldn't close properly. He was friendly and personable, and took a cue from me to wear a mask (I still do around strangers because I work with the public and know of infected coworkers). He didn't mind my asking questions and encouraged it, and explained things as he worked. He also took great care to clean up the area afterwards, even vacuuming the doormat before leaving.
I was glad I called because he was able to fix the problem that I see would have been a problem if I tried doing it myself. I would absolutely call them again.
Excellent and timely replacement of my kitchen sink. Very nice and professional. Will definitely use Sam again for future projects.
Sam Russo is a true professional, knowledgeable and pays attention to detail. His quality of work is exceptional. Sam replaced toilets Fossetts, outside lighting and repaired the kitchen sink. He explained different options to me in detail without any additional cost.
They left the Projects areas clean and neat.
I already have another project going with Sam. Believe me, you can't go wrong hiring him.

I asked Sam if he can reinstall our shutters on 2nd a story house and he declined the job due to he doesn't so that kinda job. At least he texted me back therefore, I gave him one star.
Sam responds to my inquiries in a timely manner to help schedule projects.
Nick has been to my home for multiple projects over the last 18 months or so. He is friendly and does good work. He understands that I'm not handy myself and need guidance on what is needed for some projects. His work is top notch. He even likes my cats. More important, they like him.

I'd give more stars if I could. These folks were so patient when we had problems with our appointments. Always kind and thoughtful and when we were finally able to get our lights installed, they did a fantastic job! Highly recommend for handyman needs!
Super easy to work with and knows what he's doing! He added shelves in my closet. Gave him a picture I found on pinterest for inspiration. He nailed it!

Man, I really don't want him to get busier. But that's not the right thing to do, think, or say. Sam is friendly, knowledgable, and professional. He also happens to be upfront with what his expertise is, what jobs he can, or can't do. And that's perfectly respectable.
He responds quickly and is well priced. I want to hire him again once I create a honey do list in hour-long increments.

I have to admit, the thought crossed my mind to give him a 1 star review... but only because I am greedy and want to keep him a secret so he doesn't get too busy! Sam was GREAT! He installed my light fixture quickly, efficiently, and I've already picked out a few other projects that I will be using him for. He was friendly, fast, and professional. I will definitely be using him again in the future :)

Nick came over this morning and fixed several door issues. He replaced a front door handleset and a garage door locking knob. He also adjusted two interior doors that weren't closing properly. He came up with unique solutions and explained everything he was doing. He made sure we agreed everything was working properly before he left. Great service! We will use his handyman services again.
Sam is the best!
The communication was concise and he's great at following up.
And can we all agree that Sam got the coolest logo of his business?
Definitely recommend Sam!
Nick did a great job. He did everything efficiently and was very nice. They warranty their labor which I like.

II will say firsthand Sam is an excellent handyman but an even better Person. I'll just say it, my 1.5 hr got out of the house today without me knowing (happened very quickly). Sam was finishing a job 2 houses down and stopped his car in the street and kept my kid safe while he called for me through the open door. I was extremely scared and surprised once I realized what was happening. I apologized and was very embarrassed. I told him my front door swings open on occasion (if unlocked and breezy out) without my knowledge because of a failure of the hardware in the door knob/plate of the house. He said well I'm a handyman, I'll take a look at it. He grabbed his supplies and fixed my door and refused to charge for her service. I gave him a hug after, I was/am so truly grateful for his act of kindness and his ability to realize the need for help and guidance in that moment. I will never forget what he did for myself and my child today. Thank you so much Sam.

I have had many handymen in my many years of owning a home, and not having a handy man of my own, I have lots of experience with finding one, I found Sam on yelp, because of the reviews.
Sam has done more than one project for me, he is honest about what he can and cannot do. I was not too comfortable at first when he said he works by the hour, I was not sure he would be in my budget. Sam can give an approximate quote. He is highly qualified in what he does, very detailed, that I find very refreshing! Moves quickly with getting the job done, cleaned up so you have no mess to go behind, is very considerate, professional, interesting to chat with, continuing to work as he chats. I know if Sam is on the job I can walk away and know it will be done right, with every detail necessary that its perfect. He treats your project like he was doing it in his own home! I did find that his charging by the hour is not to be afraid of because he accomplishes a lot in the hour, and try's to save you money in ways he can improvise. I only have one problem, he will not always be able to accommodate my needs quickly, he is a busy man. I am happy for him, he deserves it. I found all his 5 stars have been honestly earned.

I spoke to Sam about mounting a TV. He sent Nick, who was professional and knowledgeable. My husband and I tried to mount the TV ourselves and it didn't work out, we ended up with a bunch of holes on the wall. Nick showed up on time, mounted the TV and covered the holes we made. Price is reasonable! Thanks for the help! I will continue to call for my home needs!

Sam is a knowledgeable, personable, prompt and conscientious handyman who takes pride in his work and cares for his customer's property. I hired him to caulk my shower and he did a fantastic job. He's a pleasure to work with and lives up to a 5 star rating. I look forward to hiring him for all my future handyman jobs.
Excellent!! Was able to immediately troubleshoot issues with our electrical fixtures, and explained it clearly to dad. Very nice, helpful. Highly Recommended!!

Sam was great. He was helpful when I was trying to find a shower door before I even hired him and then when he came yesterday to install the shower door, he did a great job. He was timely, cleaned up, and did the job perfectly. Thank you so much Sam.
Nick was right on time and went above and beyond to install our new dishwasher. We had new tile installed and the opening wasn't sufficient to replace the dishwasher, so he had to cut through the backerboard to ease it into place. Super personable, very tidy, and very professional. I highly,highly recommend them. Nick is the man!

Review:
I recently hired Handyman Sam Russo to install a privacy fence in my side yard, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Sam's workmanship was exceptional, and he provided a highly professional service from start to finish.
Right from the initial consultation, Sam demonstrated a deep understanding of my privacy needs and offered insightful suggestions regarding the best materials and design for the fence. He patiently answered all my questions and took the time to address any concerns I had, which instantly put me at ease.
Once the project began, Sam's attention to detail was evident. He meticulously measured the area and carefully constructed the fence, ensuring it was sturdy, level, and aesthetically pleasing. The end result exceeded my expectations--it not only provides the privacy I desired but also enhances the overall look of my property.
What impressed me most about Sam was his professionalism. He arrived punctually each day and worked diligently to complete the project within the agreed timeframe. He maintained a clean work area and efficiently managed all aspects of the installation, leaving no mess behind. Sam's courteous and friendly demeanor made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable.
Additionally, I found Sam's pricing to be reasonable and transparent. He provided a detailed breakdown of the costs involved, and there were no surprises or hidden fees. I appreciated his commitment to delivering excellent value for the service provided.
If you're in need of a reliable handyman for your fencing needs, I highly recommend Sam Russo. His skill, professionalism, and fair pricing make him a standout choice. I will definitely be reaching out to him for any future projects. Thank you, Sam, for a job well done!
First time working with Sam today and I have zero complaints. He was punctual, professional, and his work is exceptional. Prior to our appt today, he was easy to communicate with and was honest about what he could and could not fix. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great handyman.
Sam was unavailable but sent his associate, Nick. He was able to repair my front door & was very professional & honest. Nick came out the same day, 2 hours after my initial call to Sam. I would absolutely recommend Sam for household repairs.
Needed my tv mounted last minute
He responded quickly and gave me fair price
Was clean respectful and did great work
Would highly recommend !!!
Sam was stand up guy and although he does not do commercial buildings often or Apart buildings for the work I was requesting, he was honest prompt and I would use him in a heart beat for a single family/ or smaller apartments.

Wow. What great service. My elderly father needed some handyman work done at the home and also needed to replace some smoke alarms. Sam's team actually picked up the alarms for my dad and quietly installed them as my father took his afternoon. My father can't miss his naps. Lol. Thank you Nick and Sam. I wanted to hire someone I could trust with my elderly father. This is definitely the team to go to
We are so happy with Sam's work. Not only was he easy to communicate with for scheduling, but he asked helpful questions ahead of time to make his visit successful. He found an installation mistake from the prior owner and saved us from a full garbage disposal replacement. So far he has helped us with the garbage disposal, ceiling fans, and sliding door. His work area was clean and covered in drop cloths to protect our stuff. He's funny and informative and I'm going to have him on speed dial. Thanks for all of your help, Sam!

I reached out to Sam when I hit a snag with installing some ceiling fans in our bedrooms. I sent him a few photos of the junction boxes I was dealing with and a full explanation of why I was stuck and needed his help. Instead of replying back with an estimate and his availability, he responded to my email (the same day) telling me that one of the ideas I had and was unsure about was actually the solution I should use. I just finished installing them both and feel super accomplished. Such a class act on his part. He's for sure earned my future business and I will definitely be recommending him to friends and family. Thanks, Sam!
Legit Handyman. Was able to fix/repair almost everything on my list. I will use again.
Sam is awesome! He's punctual, knowledgeable, and professional. We had concerns about the caulking in our showers and thought we had to redo all the caulking, but he let us know that it wasn't necessary. He fixed what needed to be fixed. He also gave us great advice on prevention and maintenance to keep our showers in good condition. Overall, great service and we're so glad that we found our go-to handyman :D!

Nick did an outstanding job installing track lighting, replacing a frozen outdoor faucet and adjusting our front and rear doors. He enjoys a new challenge with each job and kept us informed each step of the way.
Call Sam Russo first on any jobs you might need some assistance with.
Sam was just left my home and has a customer for life. I had some leaky toilet issues that he was able to take care of quickly. I have a lot of anxiety about people being in my home and repairs in general but he was a pleasure to work with. Thanks Sam!
