HISTORY
Established in 1995.
It al started when I was hired by a owner of a handyman services company to help with customer service and estimator. A year later in 1995 I decided to place my own Ad in a newspaper and get my own clients. I did that for a number of years until the contractors board responded to my advertising informing me that in order to do jobs for $500 dollars or more,I needed a state license and a bond or else I was operating illegally so I studied day and night for the most difficult test of my life. I passed it successfully and became a state licensed General contractor and it has been almost a decade since as a B License holder I qualify for any new construction,remodels,additions and General home repairs projects. My YELP account which is relatively new,has giving me the opportunity to provide 100% client satisfaction where the clients has the option to share those experiences through a review. I am very thankful for the existence of YELP and all the good people!

We highly recommend Raul and his team if you need work done around the house. We had them come to our townhouse in Woodland Hills where they prepped and painted the walls and ceiling of our garage, prepped and applied a two part floor coating, and installed rubber baseboards. They were fast, friendly, clean, and communicative. They probably saved us a week of back breaking work and the garage now looks great!
Worth every penny!
After scouring Yelp reviews and also talking to other competition, I decided to use this company to fix 2 leaking windows, recaulk all my windows, and fix a leak beneath the sink.
As a first time customer, I was anxious about the customer service and quality but as soon as I met Frank and his crew I immediately knew I had made the right decision. They were so so considerate on top of being great handymen! My husband and I both work from home and they were virtually invisible.
These guys take tremendous pride in their work! They are not the cheapest but they are licensed and insured. You really do get what you pay for. I have worked with other handymen that are cheaper but the quality suffers and they do not come through on any warranty.
I am currently looking to gut my master bath and would def consider these guys again!
Love these guys. I used them last year when I moved in and they painted my place. Now I needed two TVs mounted on the wall and two bathroom fans worked on. Raul first quoted me four hours, but once Frank came by, we estimated three. Yes, the pricing is higher than other quotes I received. ($250 first hour, $200 per hour afterwards). But what you get is quality.
Frank and Danny showed up on time. They were neat, efficient and cleaned up after themselves. They also kept me posted every step of the way to what they found.
TVs were easy. But the bathroom fans...wow. the first fan, once they got it out wasn't even attached to the vent. And the power cord was too short. But they resolved both issues and cleaned up the bathroom.
The second fan had been installed by the previous owner before I moved in. It's a fan/heater and the circuit is split between two switches. For the last year, I couldn't figure out why the heater switch wasn't working. So, since the new one they installed was the exact same model, I wanted Frank to look at the wiring. He checked everything and then found something shocking.
In the new fan, there is a Styrofoam piece with a big sticker that says to make sure it is removed prior to installation and using the heater. When whomever installed it, it had been left in there. It was now melted and hard. As a result, the motor that acted as the heater was now broken. So the whole fan needs to be replaced. It still works in the meantime, and I had only bought one fan.
However, this piece that was left in there was a safety hazard. I'm not sure how much problems it could have caused but considering it melted into a small hard piece could not have been good, so I am very glad that Frank found it.
Total time was 2 hours and 10 minutes. I was already going to throw in a little extra because these guys are so good and fast but after finding that piece and preventing a future issue, I definitely gave them a little more. They worked hard and deserve it.
Yes, the pricing can be tough at first, but twice now they have finished sooner than the original budgeted time, and the workmanship speaks for itself. It might be a while before I have another list of tasks to do, but these guys are on my list to call first.
With the recent rain storm that brought tons of water onto our property and took out our power, we needed help ASAP in order to get our new gas generator up and running to run our sump pump. Raul responded to our inquiry immediately first thing on a Sunday morning and was at our house by noon. He very quickly helped us get our generator set up and working, and even brought a can of gasoline in case we needed it, allowing us to finally drain all the water that had accumulated in our basin.
We had additional work that we had been wanting to do in order to replace our sump pump, but couldn't find the right person for the job. Raul was willing to come back the very next day to replace our old pump with a new one. He complete that work, in the rain, very quickly.
After speaking with him, it became clear that Raul is more than a handyman and is able to take on a wide range of projects, big and small (i really appreciate him telling me no project too small) since he is a fully licensed contractor.
I plan to continue using Raul for all of the many projects on my home to do list. What a great resource to have a handyman/contractor who is responsive, charges very fair prices, and is willing and able to do all sorts of jobs. Thanks Raul for all your help during our moment of need!
Raul is very friendly, professional, quick and efficient. He is reasonably priced and in a couple days I have new fixtures in my bathrooms!
I purchased new hardware for 2 old 3-piece faucets and a 2-piece tub faucet. The plastic knob/handle broke off on my tub and I had to have it replaced. My Dad and I went to Home Depot and picked out some new hardware for the tub. He attempted to replace the handles for the tub. It was not a tight fit and it was put on incorrectly. The water wouldn't shut off completely.
Raul came out and replaced one of the 3-piece faucets in the guest bathroom. The sinks are very old as you can see from the pics. He was able to use some existing pipelines underneath the sink and got the new sink faucet installed in the guest bathroom.
He came back the next day to do the master bath sink hardware and re-do the tub fixtures that my Dad attempted to install. I have attached before and after photos and one of my Dad's fix. :)

Top tier handyman right here, had a weatherproofing issue with our front door and Raul was able to come and take a look at it relatively quickly and was able to determine the cause of the issue and fixed within 5 minutes. His prices are great too, you'd be hard pressed to find a better handyman with his level of integrity in the valley, will definitely hire again!
When our tenant moved out we had a lot of work to do in the house to get it ready for the next tenants. We called Raul and he came out right away to look at our house and give us a quote. He gave us a fair and reasonable quote and started work right away. Raul kept us updated on the status of the repairs and work being done. He was responsive, professional and paid attention to the little details. Some of things that Raul did for us was: re-painted interior of our house, removed and installed new baseboards throughout, removed and installed a new vanity in one of our restrooms, and repaired and patched the walls, and more. He went above and beyond to make sure that everything was done to our satisfaction. We were impressed and pleased with the end result.
We will definitely be returning customers and would highly recommend him to others. Thanks, Raul!
I had 4 projects I needed help with at my house installing medicine cabinet, installing a new light fixture, fix pull string from a fan, and install string lights in my backyard. Larry and crew did a great job! He was responsive, polite and price was reasonable. I highly recommend this company.
Needed my wobbly kitchen faucet repaired. I called the affordable handy man and he came out gave me a quote and fixed my tricky faucet. It was not the most simple of a fix but he came up with a creative solution to the problem. He was right on time and got the job done!
Feel compelled to share. I did not hire Raul. Based on all of the 5 star reviews was excited to work with him. When I asked for an estimate, he required $100 to come out and put together an estimate. I offered to send photos, a video or do a facetime so he didn't have to waste time or money. He said he was willing to doing me a favor and only charge $50 for an estimate. In the mean time, I scheduled 2 other contractors to come to my home and give me an estimate for free.
Just know, if you work with him, will cost you $50-$100 for an estimate, that you can get from many other people for free.

I had a crisis- my front door was so misaligned, it would not close. Raul got back to me quickly, came to my residence, and fixed the problem promptly.
We had extensive repairs done in our home this year as a result of the rain and a leaky chimney. Raul and his team identified and repaired all of the issues causing the leaks including the removal of a badly designed faux chimney that were the cause of our water leaks. All of our leaks are now gone and our home is now leak free even in the heaviest of rains. Raul and his team were impressive. They were able to remove the chimney and close up the gaps in the roof and siding while at the same time making everything look perfect. You can't tell there was ever a chimney on our house to begin with. There was great communication when the projects demanded more work than anticipated and we were happy with the honest description of our options. His pricing was reasonable, as is always the case with Raul. His work was impeccable and his attention to detail is impressive. We will definitely call him again.

Never had a handy man before and I needed to replace an old medicine cabinet, I wasn't sure who to call to install the new one, It's also on a stucco wall so it's a bit tricky. I called Raul based on the reviews and gave it a chance. He's response was quick and the worker came on time and did a great job also maintained everything clean after install, he was incredibly courteous and helpful and let me know of everything they can also help with, So now I know who to call in case I have a project I can't tackle.
Raul, Jesus, and the rest of the crew went above and beyond for us! They removed an old ceiling in the garage, painted the roof beams, and filled in more cracks in the walls than I knew were there! They did an absolutely incredible job, making sure that they covered everything, even though it was just a garage, and tidying up after themselves. I am thrilled to have found them and absolutely loved that they were affordable, licensed, and, above all, kind!

I needed help to redo the caulking around all my windows. So I called up Raul, and he sent out Jesus that afternoon to assess the amount of work that's needed. After performing a thorough review and answering all my questions, he said he would be back in the next few days to complete the job. When the day came he showed up on time, and immediately got to work with his co worker. They completed the job quickly, and proceeded to do a cleanup pass afterwards.
Overall a very smooth and professional experience. I will definitely call these guys again for future projects.

We are repeat customers and highly recommend Raul and Affordable & Licensed Handyman. Raul is professional and talented. He responds quickly to requests and his work is great.
Raul did a great job with a few repairs around the house for us. Reasonably priced and very responsive! Highly recommend Raul for all your handyman and GC needs!

Raul was able to turn my vision into a reality!
It was so exciting to work with him to turn my plain ranch home into a beautiful Cinderella gingerbread house that the valley is known for. He prepped and painted the whole house, paid attention to detail and brainstormed how to make the project work. The cabana in the back has been transformed with a clean white ceiling. He even had his own Port-o-potty for the crew, which is a must -have for the age of COVId and beyond. A class act!
Raul and his crew helped turn our new house into a home and in record time! Not only do they do top-notch work at more than reasonable rates, but he did everything he could to meet a tight deadline for our move-in. They did everything from painting to building cabinet shelves to installing new plumbing fixtures - I'm still in awe at how quickly he was able to get everything completed. Throughout the process, he was always easy to communicate with and was honest and understanding, and kind. He's got a customer for life with me and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend him to anyone. Do yourself a favor and call Raul when you need work done to your home!

I called Raul about doing drywall repair in my garage. It was a small piece but it was next to some water lines. Raul responded fairly quick and was at my place the next day. Charged a fair price and did great work!

I needed some damaged wood in our attic checked out. Raúl messaged me promptly and arranged for Jesus to come and visit. Jesus arrived exactly on time, took the trouble to explain what he saw and was super honest in his recommendation that no further work was required at this time. Would recommend!
Raul is exactly what I was looking for in a handyman and contractor - excellent communication, thorough understanding of the requests and when it wasn't clear on my part, he asked clarifying questions to ensure we got what we needed/wanted. He and his team were prompt, respectful (wore booties proactively in the house), and he worked with me on scope of a few asks to decrease the costs. I hired him for fixing bricks in the driveway, repairing wood rot on the fascia and repainting it, caulking, installing a new cooktop/stove, fixing a track for a bifold door, tightening a handrail - and a few other odds and ends. There is no doubt that whenever I need someone again, I'm going to call Raul and only Raul!
Raul sent Al to install my mailbox. Both of them were friendly and very helpful. I would recommend and I will definitely be calling them again.

I was very happy with the services provided which included fixing my dishwasher and the installation of a water line for the fridge. Raul was very responsive and kind, explained everything in a lot of detail which I appreciated. I did think the price was a little steep but the work was done very well and I'm Looking forward to using this company again! Thanks Raul!

As you can see In the owners comment that he can't take responsibility for his mistake and understand that he was in the wrong. I am sorry but yelp has denied you in the removal of the review. People please be aware his quotes are 3x or more than others. He also does not have professional customer service. He not a good guy to work with stay away from his business. Thank you.
P.s sorry to the owner who has miserable life wish you can get yourself some help
Met Raul and Jesus today when they stoped by to check my beam. They were very nice and extremely fair and honest, which is hard to find with contractors these days! Would recommend them for any large or small project!
Thanks to you both!!!
Raul was knowledgeable, friendly, very reasonable and took the time to explain things. He had good suggestions. I will be calling him again!
We had some repairs done in our home last year. Raul and his team were impressive. There was great communication when the projects demanded more work than anticipated and we were happy with the honest description of our options. The estimates were reasonable, as it is always the case with Raul. Will definitely call him again when we are ready to continue needed updates in our 1956 home. A shout out to Jesus, his work was impeccable.

Very pleased with the service!!! I called them and they immediately responded and showed up an hour later! The price was affordable and Raul was very professional and got the job done very fast! Would definitely recommend and will be calling them again for other services :)
I had an area of drywall that needed to be repaired in my kitchen, and I called and spoke to Raul. He was very responsive, and he fixed it perfectly at an affordable price. He did excellent work. I will definitely call him again for any needs I have. So grateful I found him, and the job was not too small.
Did a great job putting together our solarium, but more interestingly, was honest about the transaction. You kind of throw your hands up like going to the mechanics and you hope they're not boning you too badly with how much it costs for parts and labor. Raul and his crew ran into a problem early where they thought they would have to build a platform to put the solarium on because the backyard is on a slope and the pieces were not lining up properly. This felt like it could have been an extra half a day work and thousands of more dollars, but then they ended up not needing to do any of it. They could have tacked on extra charges and didn't.

Raul and his associate Jesus did a great job repairing a front entryway staircase at my house. The property is located on a steep hillside adding complexity to the job that Raul and Jesus were able to navigate without issue. They replaced water damaged wood as well as shoddy repair work by past contractors (before I acquired the property). Throughout the process Raul kept me updated on progress, timelines, and any unforeseen cost issues. When complications arose, he brought in additional workers to meet his original deadline. He and his team are professional and offered a competitive rate for the work. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again!

What a GEM!
Needing stucco work and painting done on our home, we found Raul of The-Affordable-Licensed Handyman. What a find! He was what we wanted: honest, affordable and supremely quality conscious. He was a nice guy to boot!
Not only did he exceed all of our expectations, but he found a problem with our new electrical panel that needed completion. Of course, he made the correction at no additional fee.
We have additional work required on our home and we want Raul to do it as well.

Raul was quick in response, showed up within an hour of call. Needed to fix a door lock that the key couldn't push through. Raul used some contact cleaner (similar to WD-40) and after multiple iterations he was able to get it fixed. Amazingly, he did not even charged for the service because it was so small and simple. Truly honest and professional. Will definitely call him for future repairs. Thank you, Raul!
lots of little paint jobs...raul was prompt, communicative, reliable and his employee, masked and vaccinated was wonderful. the work was done very well.
A client of mine had a problem closing and locking a set of french doors after an exceptionally rainy 24 hours. I contacted Raul that evening and he was able to send Jesus to fix it first thing the next morning. I was impressed that he was able to squeeze in our urgent job. The client was extremely happy with the quick and efficient service. Thank you Raul for giving me peace of mind as clients need handyman services, I will be calling again.
Was very professional. quick response. on time. Raul removed/repair dry rot, painted and repaired concrete walk way. He do great work. Will use again

I owe Raul this review. One month ago He came over to fix my kitchen disposal leak problem.he did such an awesome job. I said will give him a favor review right after he finished his job.
Some day later afternoon in January we noticed there were some leak under my kitchen sink, so I searched and found Raul's page: the affordable and licensed handyman. Raul immediately responded my message and told me how to check and what pictures I need take and send to him. With all information collected he gave me an reasonable quote and offered the next morning service. not surprised he showed up right on time and more impressive to me:Raul did many checks before and after he replaced disposal; he did his job in a smooth, neat and clean way

I hired Raul to help remodel two rooms. We needed to change the carpet to vinyl flooring and also relocate two AC units. Him and his workers were very professionally, always came on time, and did an amazing job with the work we hired him to do. It was so easy to work with him. Can't wait to have him back to finish more projects! Thanks Raul and team!

The worker was very responsive and discussed the strategy for accomplishing the work. The job was to seal a space between old and new construction. The job was done quickly and with a great appearance (including painting to match the surrounding stucco). Very nice work!
Raul and his crew did an amazing job transforming my master bathroom. It started out as a poorly updated but still mostly builder-grade bathroom, with a plastic shower and crumbling, peeling plaster walls. Raul worked on everything from adding new floor tile and a new shower, fixing electrical, and refinishing the walls and the end product is beautiful. It was hard even getting quotes for a condo bathroom, many contractors would not even respond, let alone come out to take a look. From the beginning, Raul was responsive and answered all of my questions, and throughout the process, he was very engaged with daily check-ins and handled any issues that came up. His quote was reasonable and even though the time frame was longer than the initial estimate, that was not a surprise to me with this type of project. Overall, I would recommend Raul if you're considering any bathroom work!
Great and quick service. Contacted them one day and they were out the next to patch up a hole I had in a wall.

Great service! I needed someone to insulate and add tongue & groove/shiplap boards as well as cross beams to a sloped ceiling. I texted pictures over to Raul of what I wanted the finished project to look like and an approx square footage - he got right back to me with a quote and was able to schedule service the same week! The crew was reliable, friendly, and very qualified. They provided all the materials and did high quality work. So glad I found this business for my project!!
Raul was very helpful with a small project I brought to him. Very friendly too! Highly recommended!

Wonderful job. Couldn't recommend more. Gave a detailed quote over the phone and came within the day. Very skilled. Call him!
Raul was great. Was a smaller job and he treated it as any other. Got out there quick and came back to ensure all was well before signing off.
Excellent work. Timely, within budget, clean after themselves, arrive at job site early & ready to work. They put a full day's work and keep you abreast of the work schedule & completion timeline. Would definitely recommend
Very fast and friendly service. Had Raul diagnose and replace a kitchen faucet for us, and he came out within an hour of my message on a weekend. He offered to pick up a new faucet for us, but we decided to go get it ourselves (so we could check out other options), and then he came back to install it for us.
I'd definitely recommend Raul for projects that you need to have done around your house.

One phone call and he showed up and ready to work. He really did a great job. I would surely call him for another project.
Raul did a fantastic job installing our chandeliers and faucets. He's super detailed and took the time to install everything perfectly. He's also really friendly and loved our puppies who hung around while he worked.
Would definitely recommend and will book again!

Raoul finally returned my call a week later. He came on Friday morning, took no measurements, then emailed a bid on Friday afternoon. $5,500 to paint just the front of my single story house along with a minor carpentry repair to a bay window. Sounds a bit expensive, since half front of the house is brick veneer not to be painted, so there's not that much square footage. Still, I thought it was fairly reasonable. I call him Saturday morning to discuss the scope of the job. He calls Monday morning and says he wants to come by to discuss the job. Then I get this text:
Good afternoon Rob
I was going through my quotes and I realized that I sent you somebody else's quote.
I apologize for the error.I was working with multiple quotes last night.
Please check your email and let me know if you still want us to do the job.
We can still start tomorrow.
Thank you

I check my email, and what I got was the same email he sent previously, but the price was now $10,500!!
Hardly affordable, despite the disingenuous name of his company. My guess is he found a bigger job, but decided if he could make same money on my smaller, easier job, he would go with that. Anyone dealing with this man should be very wary of his unscrupulous business practices.
The owner was very quick to respond when we had an unexpected emergency over a weekend. He followed up with us several times to keep us up to date. Very easy and friendly to work with. He knows what has to be done and how to do it. A reliable handyman that will be quick to respond even over a weekend!
From all the rain that Southern California has been getting these last few weeks we have had some windows that started to leak. One in particular was leaking non-stop and our doggy pee pee pads weren't doing the trick. Raul was able to squeeze us in immediately and even came out in the pouring rain to fix it. Very impressed with his quick and efficient service. Will be using again!

I would like to give an enthusiastic thump's up to The Affordable & Licensed Handyman Company!! I was in search of a full-service Handyman (Person) to meet my diverse needs for repairs and upgrades and gave Raul a try to fix my leaky shower. From 1st contact to completion I was incredibly pleased.
I have many projects small to large and I look forward to having a reasonably priced, professional who does great work to take care of my home. Thanks again Raul!
Had trouble getting a handyman to replace the anchor connection base for the DWP main power line on my roof. Saw Raul's business highly recommended online here. He came over the next day with the necessary materials in hand and did the repair on the spot and inexpensively as well. Lovely dealing with him. Great job!

Raul, your saying I'm being untruthful? Well, I guess I can prove it that you told me for this specific types if tasks. All in all it was some pictures and few shelves. Also, you tell me Thank you Have a great night. What a great way to get more clients! It shows a lot. I understand your licensed which means your a contractor where typically they build homes and your charge might be reasonable in that aspect but not for a few pictures and shelv
Fellow Yelpers: I got my project done with another Handyman (referred by a friend) who was not licensed and much more affordable which cost me $75 (I wasn't building a new house or addition to hire a licensed Handyman.
Raul, really it's a shame! Why do you keep being up excuses? You can say all you want but the facts can't change!
I contacted Raul about a support beam holding up my balcony. From start to finish, the services was professional, efficient and complete in 2 days!! Jesse came to do the work with 2 other works. Everything was explained in detail and a fair price given. I must say I was impressed! A job very well done! They cleaned up everything too! I'll definitely call Raul again!!
I had a hardwired electric fireplace insert removed from our living room, which left a huge hole in our wall in need of repair. From start to finish, Raul and his associate Frank were the epitome of professionalism. I initially communicated via text (which was quick and convenient) with Raul, who ultimately referred me to his associated Frank to complete the job.
Frank and I discussed the scope of work via text, and two hours later he was at work on the wall! Frank made several in-wall discoveries which increased the complexity of the job, but still completed the work in a thorough and timely manner. Additionally, he took on several other smaller projects which were outside of my original ask. I cannot recommend this team, and Frank specifically, highly enough!!! From general communication, to the way Frank treated my home (put paper down on our floors and removed his shoes when he noticed that my husband and I do not wear ours inside), to Frank's work itself, I could not be more thrilled and won't hesitate to contact them for all future needs!
Jesus did a perfect job and in a timely manner. Very professional,from Raul that is patiently answering all my inquiries.Was not able to take a picture of the TV mount that he also did.Thank you so much

Raul and his team do business in a way that earns them 5 stars from me. In this day and age it has been extremely difficult to find a responsive handyman/contractor who is a good communicator and who quotes a fair price. Raul is all of these things - he is responsive and he communicates well and gave me a fair price for the work, and his team delivered the job as expected. They were on time and did a quality job. I hired him and his team to reinforce a fence around my house that had come down as a result of the high winds in the area. They realigned the fence and reinforced it - it looks great. I will definitely be asking Raul and his team for their help on future projects.
Brought over a plumber to fix the sink, couldn't figure out why it and the garbage disposal in the new house were not working. Sink was motion activated (in a VERY weird way) and garbage disposal button was hidden. Did not charge extra me for these services.
Contacted Raul over a couple installations needed around our home on Jan. 11, 2020. I found him on Yelp and as promised he responded within minutes and came the same day. (Leaving two stars because of this reason)
Other than that he left, advised he would send an invoice, and to send my email for delivery. Never received a response back.

We needed to have a large brass shower curtain rod installed and Raul was able to get the job done in a quick amount of time and for a reasonable price! He was very efficient and did a great job.
A few days later we needed to have 6 windows fixed. Raul did such a great job with the curtain rod that we asked him to help fix the windows as well. All windows are working properly and he cleaned up any mess he made before leaving for the day. He was great with communicating throughout the projects and always showed up on time. I would highly recommend him!
Someone broke into our garage by kicking in the door between the garage and the back yard. The door was OK but the deadbolt badly broke out the door frame. I hired Raul to repair the frame. He did an excellent job of not only repairing, but also strengthening the frame. It will be much harder to kick in the door next time. He did, however have a problem in that the replacement lock I bought needed a larger hole than the existing one and he scraped up the finish on the door in enlarging it. Not a major problem as it is a door to the back yard from the garage and it is easily fixed with a little wood putty and some paint.
Raul is a thorough worker and very pleasant and easy to work with. I would not hesitate to hire him in the future.
I had contracted Raul to get my condo ready for listing and he did not disappoint! He was always on time, communicative about his timeline and what needed to be done, and followed all the safety protocols during the pandemic. He and his team were very knowledgeable/detailed and did a great job on all the repairs, making everything look good as new, all for a very fair price. Will definitely be contracting him again for any other repairs!
I have used Raul twice now for two random jobs. He is excellent at communicating about the scope of work, shows up on time, and does a great job as quickly as is reasonable. I will be using him again for sure. Thank you Raul!

Raul and his team are a pros. They showed up on time and did the job they said they would do. They even stayed longer to get extra work done. They keep their word and were easy to communicate with. They also are very clean, the job site was cleaner than when they arrived. Highly recommended. Thank you Raul, Steve.
I hired Raul again to refinish and repaint several windows and doors, repaint the whole front of my house, and take care a few odd items on my to do list. He did a great job, was punctual, and a prompt communicator.

We had to fire our last contractor in the middle of a renovation for being dishonest and taking three months to do a simple home renovation. We were freaking out so I came on yelp and interviewed several handymen. Raul and Frank were AMAZINGGGG!!! Easy to contact, straight forward, GREAT PRICES and the best of all, they finished my ENTIRE house in 5 days!!!! The quality of the work Frank did was wonderful and he was sooo kind. The whole experience makes me want to renovate more in my house with this company.
THANK YOU GUYS SOOOO MUCH!

Had someone come out and look at the few things that needed some work done. Scheduled a day and time but unfortunately had to reschedule because between my wife and I both working, having a newborn, and me working nights, it can be extremely difficult to find windows of time where I'll be home and awake for someone to be in my house.
Sent a text to one of his workers saying sorry I need to reschedule to next week my calendar is full this week and I'm also getting a few other quotes. Few hours later boss man replied to me and said we aren't playing games I will pass.
Horrible customer service. Didn't realize legitimate life issues and shopping around for pricing and services equated playing games.
Raul responded to my request immediately, consulted on the project, gave a fair estimate and arrived the next day and completed the job. Amazing service, highly recommended!
Jesus did a great job! Fixed several things around the house, hung a new light fixture, shelves, etc. He showed up on-time and kept me updated on his work. He went to the hardware store for me to fix our sink the same day. The LED light fixture started flickering the next morning due to the light switch (didn't happen the first day), and Jesus promptly showed up to change out the switch. Everything works great now!

This the second time I had Raul work with me on a project. The professionalism speak for it self the way he handle the job from start to finish. Call him ask him for a estime on a renovation on my kitchen cabinets, he was puntual and responsive. Would recommend to anyone one who is looking for quality Work .
Thank you Raul.
Raul recently completed some work for us and did a great job! He repaired and painted our back patio, and replaced the mirrors and lighting in two of our bathrooms which also required painting touch-ups. His communication throughout (quoting, scheduling, execution) was extremely prompt and proactive. The work was completed safely (Raul and his partner respectfully wore masks while in the house), quickly and efficiently despite the current heat wave, and his pricing was fair. We would definitely use Raul again for future projects!
Highly recommend Raul! A++++++ service. He promptly responded to my inquiry and was able to come same day to repair our gate. Thank you for such a smooth transaction!

Great crew. Expertly handled a variety of tasks with ease. Will definitely call on them again when needed.
The Affordable and Licensed Handyman was/is definitely on top of things. I appreciated his quick response to my request, as well as, his ability to quickly assess what needed to be done to correct the gate situation. He immediately began working and explained my options. Job complete and well done. Thanks so much!
Raul is really choice for your handyman needs! He had a drywall job that included assembly and hanging of a pretty intense inside basketball net. He was easy to communicate with, hard working and made sure we were 100% satisfied. I think that's what stood out for me - he wanted to make sure we were happy beyond anything else. That was very important. We will use Raul again for sure

Thank you Jesse, Jonathon and Gabbie! The team did an excellent job in modifying my garage ceiling (raise a portion of ceiling 1 ft higher). They did more than was expected and kept everything clean. Plastic sheets were placed over everything and the job was finished on time. The team was very punctual and had great communication. They re-did the dry wall, color matched the paint and after a few months (and even through a 4.x earthquake)...no cracks! I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again in the future.

Raul did a excellent job on our ancient bathtub faucet. He gave a affordable and effective solution . Without removing and replacing all the tiles and change the whole valve, he helped removed the old inner part and replace it. It works perfectly. Definitely recommend.
I needed some steel decorative partitions installed in concrete and leveled. Raul answered my queries quickly with an estimate. He showed up exactly on time, quickly performed the installation and made some requested adjustments. A pleasure to work with, and I will no doubt hire him in the future.

Two big thumbs to Raul. Came in under short notice to give a quote for a stucco wall repair job and did high-quality work for a very reasonable price. He ended up restoring our wall to near perfect condition - like it never happened. We're actually looking forward to receiving a quote for a bigger drywall repair project in the laundry room. If you need a quality licensed handyman at an affordable price - Raul is your man. Definitely recommended.

Let's take a step back here. You put me in touch with another person who never responded. I contacted you direct again and was told that someone would get back to me. No mention of any emergency. If that's the case state it to begin with. The work was also completed by another highly rated individual on yelp for nearly half the quoted price you finally provided. That quote would not have even shown up if I did not write the review to begin with. If you dont have the time to interact with potential customers make it known to begin with.

After writing my review about the lack of response from Jerry, Raul, the owner called me and was very apologetic. He told me that Jerry had been terminated for lack of follow up. I told him I understood.
He later emailed that he had checked with another technician, Alfredo, who could make a gate for me in metal.
Alfredo called me and was very honest and told me he couldn't meet with me until the following week because of his previous commitments.
We set an appointment. Alfredo showed up on time, was knowledgeable, said that they'd provide a proposal in 1-2 days, which they did.
In the interim I had a proposal by another company and decided to go with them.
There's a reason why Raul's got 5 stars from over 300 people. The man is a true professional. He was patient, flexible, and communicative throughout the whole process. I will absolutely give him a call again should I need his services, and you should seriously consider doing the same for your handyman needs.
Raul was quick to respond via text on short notice and arrived at the scheduled time. His rates were reasonable and fairly priced. He had his own tools and hardware which was nice also saving me trips to HD to buy specific type of hardware for my project which I would not know about. He also showed up with his son as a helper and they were both were wearing masks which is nice. They were able to complete the short project in about 2 hours and even hung a picture frame as a bonus. I would definitley recommend him for your cabinetry or carpentry projects. I would definitley call him again for future project.

I found Raul here on Yelp and I couldn't have been happier with him and his team! They were available quickly and worked various projects for us in such a quick and professional manner. Not only were the projects completed quickly, but they were done without a flaw! I will continue to use Raul for all projects and I highly recommend you do the same!
Had Raul come to my home to hang a mirror. Seamless experience. He was friendly and knew what he was doing. I highly recommend him!
I had a leak I discovered after the rain recently, and reached out as Raul had great reviews. He was very honest and genuinely a nice person, who didn't want to take advantage of an emergency call to help fix the leak. Unlike other companies who over exaggerated the leak and how they had to do all kinds of serious work for a minor leak problem, in attempts to charge me for work I didn't need done. I will definitely use him again for all future house maintenance and problems.
He was 10 stars if I could give him more stars.
Great service! Response was within a few minutes. Raul arrived on time, was professional and did a fantastic job. The work was done in a timely manner and everything was left spotless. I would absolutely recommend this company.

I was given a couple of fans by my dad some time ago but i needed to find someone i felt comfortable with bringing into my home especially in the middle of a pandemic.After reading a number of reviews from The Affordable and Licensed handyman I decided to give them a try.
They came right on time,and efficiently wired and installed the ceiling fans without a hassle.
I would definitely continue using their services!
We had numerous jobs to be done in our home that we were originally going to find specialists for - removing and building a new front fence, building a custom shelf and cabinet, and constructing an outdoor sliding storage unit in our backyard. Turns out, Jesse was able to do it all at a very fair price, and he and his team did a fantastic job. They were also able to get the job done in a very timely manner. Professional, courteous, hard working and affordable. I will definitely use Raul and Jesse and their team again, and I highly recommend them to you.
I had Jesus and team fix a rickety, neglected porch including flooring installation, new handrails and steps. Shortly after I had them install posts and a large shade sail. This crew is incredibly courteous, responsible, and delivers quality work. They care about doing the job right versus quickly/hastily. I'm extremely happy to have found a handyman that can do various projects and with incredible diligence and attention to detail. If you appreciate getting the job done right and with a pleasant, hard working group, these are the guys for you!

We came home from having dinner out, to discover that our oak cabinets had fallen down onto our washer and dryer. We had these installed shortly before the Northridge earthquake in 1994 and they have survived ever since until night before last. They were/are very heavy due to the solid wood and contents they contained. When we got home we cleaned up the mess, stabilized the fallen cabinet as best we could then proceeded to search for a handyman who could help.
After searching through Yelp, we decided to call Affordable Handyman due to the numerous positive yelp reviews. I left a message for them to give me a call, hoping they would get back to me soon that night or the next morning. About an hour later, they called and said they could help and that they could be here the next morning. I sent them a picture and they quoted me a hundred dollars for the repair.
The next morning, Alfredo showed up at the agreed upon time at 8:00 a.m. and immediately went to work. He worked very efficiently and clean the entire time he was here. Alfredo not only reinstalled the heavy cabinet, he also reinforced it to an even stronger connection than the original install by connecting the cabinet to various beams and installed an additional support underneath the box.
I could not have been any happier with the quality of work performed, the fee that was charged, and the speed at which they rescued my laundry room. Alfredo was amazing and I won't hesitate to use Affordable Handyman for future services!
Finding a good handyman is very difficult. I'm so glad that other reviewers had provided glowing reviews of Raul -- and he totally lived up to the hype! He was responsive via text -- asked for pictures of the issue we faced and immediately provided a quote for the repair work -- inclusive of all labor and materials -- and he had an opening for just a few days later. He arrived on time, advised me when he needed to go to the store (not a problem as it was a per job rate, not hourly), and even did a little extra work beyond the scope of the project (he noticed some other issues with the wood and even spot painted our wall while he was painting the trim). We will certainly use Raul in the future -- as a good handyman is like a great babysitter for your kids -- once you find one, you stick with them as long as you can!
We are really happy with the work by Raul and his son. They were very professional, detailed oriented and very organized. They are following safe protocols during this pandemic which Made me and my family feel comfortable and safe. They completed my drywall project in a day and did a great job. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

Really glad we work with Raul he did great work and for a really good price. I will definitely call him again if i have any plumbing problems. Very sweet and honest. He responds quick, explains everything, and even saved us money!
I needed a new exterior kitchen door and kitchen window blinds. They got all the supplies and chose the type door and blinds I wanted. Since my house is old, they had to replace molding around door and make doorway a bit higher. They did a beautiful job and door fits just right. I'm very happy with door and blinds. When finished, they cleaned inside and outside. If I ever need more work on the house, I will definitely call again. I highly recommend.
Best handyman ever!! Raul responded to my inquiry immediately, quoted me a great price, came out the same day, did a fabulous and meticulous job on the drywall repairs I needed, and carefully cleaned up after himself. He was also very courteous and friendly. What more could you ask for? In fact, I even inadvertently gave Raul an incomplete picture of the extent of the work that I was wanting, so his original estimate was probably lower than it should have been. I offered that I understood if he needed to adjust the price since the scope of the work ended up being more than he expected, but he told me not to worry about it. He mentioned that he has been doing this type of work for 20 years, and you can tell that he has a lot of experience and takes a lot of pride in his work. I'm so glad I found him! My dad lives thousands of miles away; otherwise he would do a lot of this type of work for me. Raul is the next best thing! Check out the awesome before & after photos.

This company was 1st class from customer service to the technician that came out. They charge by the hour, but he was very expedient and knocked out everything in one hour. Very professional and talked while he worked to not make us feel like customers, but more like an acquaintance. I'd recommend them for all your household fixes!
The Affordable & Licensed handy man is fantastic! I called him with a small stuccco job he was at my house in aN hr and the work done to great satisfaction by the end of the day. Thank you so much!
Raul and his team repaired our pergola that had several boards needing to be replaced. They were quick and very professional. Another company told me it would take 8 hours and Raul's team was done in less than 3. Would definitely hire again.
After looking around on several sites, I was happy to find Raul The affordable and Licensed handyman.
I had a kitchen ceiling that needed repair.
He sent Jaime for the job and I have to say that the quality of work was impressive and a super job on the clean up afterwards.
Communication, professionalism and fast service was headache free.
I am looking forward in working again with Raul on future projects.
READ ALL REVIEWS BEFORE CALLING THIS GUY. TRUST ME.
This guy completely wasted our time. First of all, the guy people write about, Raul, doesn't show up to see projects. Another guy says he works for Raul and he shows up to see the projects and give bids. After showing this guy around and many discussions. We agree to a price and start date - high quote, but thought we were getting a good work judging from the reviews. There was some miscommunication over what to start first, we made clear what we said we wanted.
And then suddenly, after all this going back and forth and wasting a Sunday staying close to home to meet Raul's guy - I just get an email saying they are too busy and they can't help us at all.
Don't waste your time. You've been warned.
Responding to Raul's reply...
I will gladly send our email chain to anybody who asks to see it. He doesn't want to work for us because we dare ask what type of materials they were going to be using. You will also see in our email chain that we had a start date and price agreed to.
IF RAUL WASTES OUR TIME, HE CAN WASTE YOURS TOO.
We lucked out in getting to work with Raul. He fixed a problematic sink for a lower quote than other vendors, and added in some small stuff without nickel and diming us. He gained our trust with his honesty, amazing communication. Will not hesitate to call him again for any issues that arise with our new home!
When the plug on our shower broke, we were faced with a seemingly easy fix to replace it. But it turned out to be much more complicated. Raul came over and figured out the problem right away. I had also purchased the wrong hardware so they went and picked up the right one and returned quickly. The repair was done quickly, everyone was nice. Would definitely recommend for any handyman-type needs you have.

I needed some concrete broken up and removed from my front yard and Raul did a wonderful job. He responded quickly to my initial inquiry and came out to my property the same day to give me an estimate. He started the job the next day and finished everything by the afternoon. He is kind, professional, fast, and has very fair prices. I will definitely use his services in the future!
Raul and Jessie came by within a matter of minutes!!! I explained I had about 15 photos that needed hanging some large some small. I've had a lot of experience with contractors before by far they were the best! Raul and Jessie have an eye for placement of photos. I have a lot of different types colors designs etc. I'm so impressed by how quickly they responded and cleaned up I will be using them again. Jessie did a lot of the hanging work he's a true perfectionist. He really took his time on making sure I was happy with the way everything looked. I appreciated the feedback and placement of my photos! Also I really liked the flat rate charge of the work. I didn't have to worry about an hourly rate or getting a crazy high charge. These are local people in the community who care and take pride in their work. I would be happy to work with them again.
Raul was great! He quickly replaced my patio door handle and more. He was very thorough, addressing other issues he found with the door. He was kind, efficient, reliable and very personable. A pleasure to work with! I would definitely recommend his services!
I needed my garbage disposal fixed and they were able to provide a quick quote and repair it immediately. They were very professional.
Raul was on-time, professional and was able to install my garage disposal quickly. He was able to answer all of my questions and always made himself available to help. I highly recommend him to do any work in your house. All COVID protocols were taken into consideration. He is clean, friendly and considerate. I will definitely use him again for other home repairs.

IMPRESSED! Raul & Jesse went above and beyond to make sure the job was done in a timely manner, properly, clean, and most importantly, to my satisfaction. They removed my front entrance door and installed a new 650 lb. iron steel door.
I highly recommend the duo, Raul and Jesse. They are a phenomenal team! Not only does their talent shine through, but their positive attitude, professionalism, and genuine desire to meet the needs of their clients; It's what makes them a leader in providing quality customer service.
Raul is great! He came out on short notice for a huge leak under my sink and had it totally fixed within an hour or so. He's professional and courteous. Highly likely to use him again
Honestly the best handyman ever. Honest, fair and fast. He came and fixed a double door that has been not locking and driving us crazy. Raul came same day and fixed everything. Raul is the best. I'm using nobody else going forward.
Very professional, friendly and reasonably priced handymen. They were very flexible with my busy work scheduled and met me at my home at a time that worked best for me. I recommend them to anyone in the area looking for handymen.

I also tried Raul because of all the high ratings/reviews and he didn't disappoint. He was professional, reasonably priced and hard working. I had a leak in one of my bedrooms and he was able to fix the problem right away.He had all the equipment/materials needed in his truck. I also decided for him to check out my tub that's cracking and seal it up. He went ahead and did that too at a very reasonable price. Raul was friendly, professional and I felt like I can trust him.
He's coming again next week to put solar lights outside ! Thank you Raul
Super helpful. I asked for a quote and they answered right away. Scheduled an appointment and boom! the work was done
Raul was amazing! We showed him several projects we had for a new house that we bought, including a leaking sprinkler valve, loose faucet, bathroom drain and hallway gate - he was a true professional and carefully walked through each one with us, then got the work done perfectly and incredibly fast! Definitely our go-to handyman for all future projects at our home!
We needed brick repairs on the facade of our house and on a low wall next to our driveway. Raul and Jesse were very prompt and professional in scoping out the work. I was impressed that Raul provided a written estimate. The repair looks better than I expected -- it's hard to tell that anything was ever broken. We'd definitely work with them again.

I had a laundry list of small fixes and some new additions to my home, and Raul and his team helped me fix all of them quickly and for a reasonable price.
After reaching out on Yelp I was put in touch with Lou, who works with Raul, who was knowledgable and promptly came out to assess the work to be done. I received a quote a few days later which included the all in price. I liked that the pricing was quoted per job rather than hourly, so I knew exactly what I was getting into.
Lou completed all the work we discussed, which included fixing a cabinet hinge, rewiring my light switches with dimmers, installing a new chandelier, installing a new mailbox, and realigning two doors. He showed up on time, cleaned up after himself, and was polite throughout the whole process.
I can't recommend Raul and his team enough!
They did the painting, drywall repair, stucco repair, garden door repair for me recently. They managed to give a good estimate after some phone messages with me and some pictures I sent. They completed the work on schedule, with good quality and with a fee very close to the estimate. I may do business with them again in the future.
We hired Raul's Affordable and Licensed Handyman service to remove the acoustic finish, smooth and paint the ceilings in our entire home.
Frank came out to give us an estimate. We're on a very tight budget and they provided a competitive price (for what turned out a quality job). They were ready to get started and promptly completed the job in the estimated time as promised. The team arrived on time every day and covered the areas to protect our carpet. The ceilings turned out perfectly smooth and beautiful.
I am very happy with the finished product!!
Frank was the managing contractor on the job and was very polite and pleasant to work with. I asked for a couple of touch ups and they were very accommodating. They even came after payment was made in full to do a final touch up - excellent customer server!
I would hire them again!
Had an ugly hole in bathroom ceiling after some extensive plumbing repairs. Raul responded quickly, arrived on-time and provided a fair quote.
The work was done the next day and was terrific. Will definitely use again. Great experience.

Just a quick review to thank Raul for being on time, fast, affordable and efficient. When I needed help with general maintenance items, I quickly realized that there are lots of people out there who offer services. But knowing the work is being done by someone who holds a valid license made a difference to me. Really glad we decided to go with Raul, the work was done better then I even imagined.
One item in particular stands out - we needed old historic windows repaired in our nursery. I was hoping they could just get them to open, for air flow. Raul did just that, I was happy just putting a stick in the window to hold it open (when needed), but Raul found a much better and safer solution - now the windows open and there is no stick to create an eyesore.
What really stood out to me is that Raul suggested the better system, because it was safer for a toddler (keep in mind this was no additional charge). I stood there totally shocked that he was more concerned with the safety for our baby, rather then doing the job fast and moving on to something else. I didn't expect it to be done so well and would have been fine with it, but he wanted it done right - thats the difference with Raul.
That really stood out, because two years ago we did a large home (1,000k s/f) remodel and the contractors, sub contractors, etc were only concerned with one thing - just getting everything done as quickly as possible and leaving - with the old guys, our electrical all came apart, the fixtures came apart, doors would fall off. And thats what I came to expect, but not with Raul, he sets a higher standard for the work. I could go on and on, but I won't - just call him!
Ok, I guess this wasn't really that quick - sorry yelpers!

Very fast and friendly service! They reached out right away after my first inquiry and I had someone on the job within a day. Frank was the handyman sent over and he installed a basketball hoop over our garage. He was on time, reliable and honest. He even patched a few holes on the garage and painted over them for us. He did an EXCELLENT job and it's a relief to have a good handyman available for projects around the house. Thank you!!!! I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone!
Raul was very reliable and his guys did a great job fixing our pergola and gates. I would definitely recommend them!
No matter how great an inspector is, you will always inherit some hidden problems with a home. One of those problems in my case is a front door that lets in air, lots of air. After going online and seeing Youtube videos on how to repair my air issues, I felt I really needed help with this repair. I decided on General Building Contractor & Handyman Service base on the reviews and that he is licensed (Very important!)
Made a late Friday afternoon appointment with Raul to come look at the problem, he quoted me as estimate, I said yes. He came back early Saturday morning, measured the door, bought the material and started to fix it. While doing so, discovered past work done to the door was bad. The old sweep was installed wrong and the door was cut once, crooked.
Raul was able to re trim the bottom, straightening it out and install the new sweep. There is still a small gap at the bottom but it's due to bad construction. Raul concluded this can all be fixed with a new entry door, I totally agree.
For now though, there is far less air coming in, I really can feel a difference. I'll put a Frost King indoor sweep with a brush bottom in place for now and in the summer call Raul back to replace the door.
I think he's great! He knows what he's doing. Capable of fixing and correcting other contractors or previous home owners mistakes and doing so affordably. Looking forward to having him back and replacing the entire from door!
And very important to me, he's licensed!
I had a wooden property line fence that was heavily leaning towards my house. These guys came to give me an estimate, and fixed it within the week. Super fair price, worked extremely quick, and cleaned up after themselves. They even went above and beyond, and fixed (for free) a couple little things wrong with my gate, that I hadn't even mentioned.
I had contacted two fence companies to get estimates, and both said the job was too hard cause there were vines on the fence.... guess they were wrong. Fence is fixed and the vines are undisturbed.

I needed a counter sanded and a protectant put on for my kitchen.
Raul was professional and did a great job.
I called him and left a message.
He promptly text me back, asked for picture and gave me a quote. Great price!
Raul came the SAME day!
Clean, professional, and the job was done in an hour and a half!
I WILL be using Raul again and recommend him highly.
Raul was great! He came over to my house within 30 minutes and was able to resolve my kitchen cabinet problem immediately. Highly recommend him!
For a week, I have called 3 different Plumbers. All of which had 5 star ratings. Yet, none of them called me back even though I stated it was an emergency. How they got that rating is beyond me. They couldn't even return a call (and I called one of them twice to follow up!). I tried my luck with contacting a handyman and came across Affordable and Licensed Handyman.
If there was 1 good thing about the 3 plumbers not calling me back, it was that I found Affordable and Licensed Handyman. I dealt with Jesus and Raul. Both are easy to deal with and friendly. They not only called me back, but consistently updated me with their schedule. Which to me indicated how professional they are and how much they're willing to help. And help they did. Raul helped my family and I with our washing machine problem by not only fixing it, but by also giving us a fair price. We are so pleased with him, that we're scheduling another work to be done. As I told him before - It looks like we may have found the handyman we've been looking for. As far as I'm concerned, this is a business that deserves the 5 star rating. Thanks guys.
Raul came over within 30 minutes. He adjusted a leaky kitchen faucet to prevent it from leaking. He looked at toilet which had been spontaneously running and said nothing wrong here. He did not charge us.
I would use him again for a minor or major plumbing problem.
Raul and his team we're very professional, on time, and did a great job. They painted the exterior siding of our house, the front door and our fireplace. They also fixed some drywall cracks. It all turned out perfect. They were on time everyday and were so wonderful to work with. I would definitely recommend Raul and his team.

My sister recommended Raul, for my kitchen bifold doors. I was very pleased with his work. He was affordable and very profesional. Stop waisting time searching, just call him.

Terrible quality and dishonest. Affordable and licensed are in the name of the business. Affordable is true until you take into account the amount of money that you have to spend on fixing the work of this company. Licensed is probably true but doesn't mean anything. It's the bare minimum required. Stay away!

I called Raul when I needed to get me rental unit ready for my new tenants. Not only was there a ton of flexibility on what time he could meet me, but he showed up on time, was very professional. He took his time to make sure the job was done correctly, but also was very clean after he was done. His prices were very fair on top of everything.....I will use his services for everything going forward
I need two large mirrors mounted last minute and decided to call a few places and Raul responded immediately and was very helpful and fair with his prices. He arrived on time and was very courteous. Him and his partner put up the mirrors in no time and it was nice they had a great sense of humor as well. Very nice and friendly people. I highly recommend them to everyone and will be using them again especially now that I know they do major remodeling as well!

Had Raul back for some larger house projects, and the guy is just amazing. Can do almost anything you need done with exceptional workmanship and at a fair price.
I sent a request for quote at 1:29pm and Raul responded at 1:32pm. He asked a couple of questions in order to give me a very reasonable price to complete a small job of hanging a heavy mirror in my newly renovated bathroom. He was over to my house within a couple of hours and did a beautiful and fast job. He was everything we were looking for. We will definitely be keeping him on speed dial for future jobs! The 200+ good ratings are all true!
I needed to have a exterior door removed and have the wall closed. They did a great job!! How great? I asked him to quote another job while they were cleaning up. I highly recommend Raul and, obviously, will be using him again in the near future.
I almost never write reviews. However these guys were so good I had to. I had to get some pegboard attached to four walls so I could hang my tools. I hired a cheap local handyman who did 1/5 the job in one day. He destroyed my workbench, left it dirty and said it was his best. I then called Raul and Jesus. They were more expensive but you get what you pay for! Jesus came out and was polite, professional and great at his job. In one day he completed the entire thing, cleaned it up and wore masks the entire time. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Did a great job installing my LED bathroom mirror. Meticulous, clean and very reasonably priced. Will be using them again with future projects.
After being prompt and easy to talk to via Yelp messaging, Raul was at our house on time and quickly solved my floating shelf that was sagging on the wall! It's sturdier than ever! I think we officially have a new handyman for all our misc house work. Thanks Raul!
Raul is great! I reached out with an unusual project: a broken mail slot near the front door of our vintage Burbank home. The flap was falling off the hinge of the slot. It's just old wear and tear. Raul asked a few questions and then set up a time a few days away. We discussed replacing the entire unit but I explained that my wife wanted to preserve the original unit if possible. Raul came at the appointed time, fixed the existing unit and even POLISHED the brass on the slot itself! I didn't expect that or even ask for it. He just did it because he's a professional and he takes pride in his work. And his price was reasonable. We will be using him again. Highly recommended!
I am happy that I found this business for my home repairs. My home has very old systems and I needed someone that would be careful and knowledgeable. I had a gas leak in which a valve needed replacing and this was done with no problems. Raul is professional and he knows his trade. He looks at the work to assess potential problems and explains any concerns he might have. I called him back again to fix a wall heater and he did a great job on that too. On his way out, he noticed that my door chain wasn't on right and he fixed that too. I'll be calling him again!

The rod in my closet came loose from the wall. Not a major job but unfortunately, beyond my feeble means of repairing it. Requested a quote from Raul and he put me in contact with Jesus to schedule an appointment. Jesus was right on time and got the job done quickly, same day. I have more stuff in my condo that needs work so will be reaching back to these guys very soon. Much appreciated.

Raul is an excellent handyman! My front door lock stopped turning properly, and I found him on yelp. He took his time to figure out what was going on. There was still a problem after the initial fix, but he came back out to fix it for good. Raul was professional, responsive, and thorough! Thank you!
Raul does great work. He is very professional and affordable, not to mention friendly. I would recommend him for any of your home maintenance issues. He did a great job patching my roof and fixing a hole in my ceiling.

Requested a quote to get caulking done in a couple bathrooms. Lou called me and was friendly and knowledgeable about the work. It was easy to set up a time for him to come and provide a detailed quote. When the day of the job came, he was flexible enough to show up at 6am to make sure the job was done in time. Great work and friendly service!

We had knocked over the basketball hoop on accident and Raul and his partner were able to meet with us the same day and have the court repaired the next day for a very affordable price. I thought we would need to buy a hoop and concrete and an installation kit, I even looked up hoop install services in Amazon and there was no way to see reviews of the workers. I then came to Yelp to find someone that works with concrete or masonry and called services that had no clue how to install a basketball hoop. Raul saw a photo of it, came by that night, and he drilled into the concrete, provide the liquid cement, repaired the hoop AND cleaned up. Very happy with everything he did and how fast and easy he made this for this beimg my first time navigating an issue like this.

He is our go-to person now for home repairs.
First time we hired him was to repair some windows that had leaked during the last rain. He resealed them. Then on his own, he asked if he could touch up the paint around the windows that had become stained from when I had tried to reseal them. Fortunately I had extra paint, and he touched up the stucco around the windows.
His work was clean and thorough. He is experienced with a wide variety of construction and home repair projects. He is easy to reach and very pleasant as well!
We already have him booked for our next project.
We had been struggling to fix the leak from our windows every time there's rain. After multiple attempts to fix the issue without success, we came across Raul and Jessie from The Affordable And Licensed Handyman.
Our request was responded promptly, and Jessie was at our place the next morning to inspect. He was able to tell the cause of the problem, explained the issue and told us what needed to be done. They are very professional and there was no hidden fee/ additional fee to surprise us. Highly recommend them!

Raul is my go to Handyman for repairs at my house. His guys just completed installation of a gravel path along the side of my house and got the job done on time at a reasonable price. Raul has also replaced my attic fan motor and repaired an electrical problem with my dining room ceiling fan. He has also done drywall repair and fence repair at my house. He is very personable and his prices are always fair. Highly recommended.

The best all the way! We had a repair to our front door. One small window pane was shattered. They were perfect at customer service and loved that they texted--so much easier than email or calling!
They also were clear, asked questions, were responsive, and understood exactly what we wanted. They were also able to identify their estimate after a conversation with them and sending an image via text.
They were so helpful in being available to do the repair quickly, did a fabulous, professional repair/installation, and provided details on what needed to occur for the project when they arrived and so organized.
They were great at fixing it well and you'd never know that the glass was replaced! I recommend them! Go with them and your get a great handyman team!

My followers know I don't give 5 stars easily, so when I say that my experience with
The Affordable & Licensed Handyman was 5 star. You know I mean it.
This was the first time I got a bid from, and booked a handyman without ever actually talking to them on the phone, which frankly made me a little wary. All our commutations were handled via txt message. Raul had me take a picture of my project and SMS the pictures and the dimensions to him.
He returned a reasonable bid, which was comparable to some of the others I had received from competitors. One by one the competitors failed in a variety of tests which include
Communication (Responsiveness, clarity etc)
Reliability (Promptness, keeping their word etc)
Professionalism (Craftsmanship, preparedness, courtesy)
Raul passed all these tests while other contractors and handymen dropped the ball in one way or another.
Raul actually showed up for the job early with a co-worker. They set to work immediately on my custom front door replacement. This was an odd size door, and extensive modifications were needed to replace the existing one, including cutting the door slab to a custom size and setting locks in an unusual configuration. I am sure the job took longer than anticipated but Raul honored the original bid with only a slight increase for the custom lock arrangement, which, he discussed with me first, so there were no surprises in the final bill. It was actually less than I was prepared for.
I myself, am a veteran of the construction Industry having a held a C-10 Electrical Contracting license and operated my own company for 10 years (this was a while ago). So when I say, you can find no better handyman than Raul and his company The Affordable & Licensed Handyman, I speak as a professional myself.
Thank you Raul and The Affordable & Licensed Handyman, Your 5 stars are well deserved.
I had to replace an exiting automatic Sensor Faucet in one of the bathrooms in my house.
After calling/contact several similar businesses, waiting for call backs that never happened, or getting some outrageous responses like we charge $69 for inspection and estimate fee, or getting ridiculous quotes, from mostly highly recommended and had good reviews, called, left a voicemail message. Few minutes later, I received a call, was asked to sent few photos about the only time I was asked for more information before I got an estimate), and then after few minutes, I got an estimate, and appointment was set for the next morning.
Reliability matters for me. I had to free time from my schedule.
I even received a text he was running few minutes late.
In past experiences, the installer, handyman, plumber, ...etc all start complaining, try to upsell, but not this time.
The job was done as expected, and in a clean, professional and efficient way. Finished in few minutes, worth every penny.
Thanks for the excellent service.
Highly recommended.
On time. Very professional and knew everything!!!
Was pleasantly surprised on his workmanship and appreciated his work ethic!
He cleaned up after and was amazing!
Way overpriced!! I contacted Raul to get a rough idea of how much he would charge to do a small job in my house, and to my surprise, he wanted a leg and an arm. His rates are set per job and not per hour. I'm only rating my interaction with Raul to get a quote and not an actual job that was done. This job should be done within an hour by anyone, especially a qualified professional handyman/ contractor. It was only 3 floor moldings around 3' long and 1 about 5' that needed to be either glued and secured or replaced. So after sending him pictures of the moldings and telling him what needed to be done, he quotes me $400 labor only to do it. He may be the best out there, but for that price of labor I could have a reputable company come and do the whole house of moldings.
Frank did a great job installing baseboard and crown moulding in our master bedroom. He and his assistant were very thorough and taped up the floor area around the moulding to keep things neat and even vacuumed afterwards. It looks great and we are very happy with the outcome. We would definitely hire Raul and Frank again!
This was our third time using Raul and his team. They showed up on time and did a great job. We had a ceiling scraped and refinished and then the room painted. The room looks beautiful and they completed the job in one day! Raul's crew is professional, friendly and hard working. We will definitely use them again.
Raul came to my house just a few hours after my 1st request for an estimate. He was professional, kind and able to repair our door in minutes. I'm confident in highly recommending this company!
I've hired Raul now for a few jobs around my condo and he's now my go-to handyman.
My wife and I got home after a long weekend to find that our water heater had sprung a serious leak from the bottom. The water heater was over 10 years old so it was time to replace. Not knowing where to begin, I called Raul hoping he could bail me out of this nightmare and handle the job from start to finish ..and that's exactly what he did!
We called him around 9:30am and said he could do the job same-day since his schedule could allow for it. He assessed the issue, removed my old heater, bought and installed the new one, and even hauled away the old water heater for a very fair, all-in rate. I was up late the night before doing all kinds of research online on heater costs, shipping, etc.. a headache. Don't bother doing anything else and just hire Raul!
We had a broken bed that needed immediate repair. I called a dozen handymen. Raul answered his phone faster than the rest, came by the same day, and gave me a very reasonable estimate. He came to do the repairs the next day and everything was fixed perfectly. I will definitely be hiring him again whenever I need help.

Needed an old leaky faucet replaced, called Raul. We got the details scheduled in minutes, and he was there the next day and got it done quickly and efficiently. Polite, patient, professional. Moreover, when I got confused about adjusting the sink height, he came back the same day to adjust it and help me understand how to do it myself as well, no extra charge. Very chill guy, he has my recommendation!
I needed an experienced handyman to repair damaged wood under the kitchen sink, along with changing up some improperly installed plumbing items associated with my dishwasher at my rental property. Raul met with my tenant, provided a bid, and did the work promptly, professionally, while being highly protective with my tenant by wearing a face mask and gloves. He carefully inspected the damage, made the necessary repairs, and took care of the debris that was there. He also treated the wood to ensure that no mildew would occur. It is not always easy to find a dependable and capable handyman who looks at the entire problem and proceeds to solve the problem. I will definitely use Raul again when I need his services. In these challenging times, let's try to support our local contractors--especially those that use protective gear to protect their clients and themselves.
I did a pretty big job with these fellows. Had my gate and fence sanded and stained, as well as a retainer wall fixed. The work was good, affordable and so fast! Jesse, Jonathan and Alex are great and communication is easy. Highly recommend.
It was a pleasure having them do my flooring, which required replacement of plywood sub flooring, then place new vinyl planks, transitional mold, and baseboards. They were able to work around my schedule and got all this taken care of in one day and did a great work! Thanks Raul.

Raul was quick to respond on text, faster than anyone else and quoted a very fair price for my project. He sent 2 guys, Jesus and Juan, the next day and they were great. They initially thought the job would take them 5 hours but it ended up taking 15. It was a massive 12x14 foot pergola with a million parts. They were very thorough and took pride in their work. You can tell they understand making clients happy is very important. They finished the job on day 2 and it was perfect. They didn't ask for more money even though it took 3 times longer than predicted. I gave them more just bc of how happy I am with the build and it seemed deserved. They didn't try to hide issues (like a misplaced part) either which I think shows their true colors. Very happy and highly recommend them.
I needed a quick project done at my place. It involved putting up roofing and lighting over my arbor. I called Raul and he answered very quickly. We texted and he was able to get my place and do the job that day.
Raul was professional, timely, courteous and the price was right.
Highly recommend Raul.

Previous handyman was not returning calls on a follow-up project, and needed someone asap. Luckily we found Raul on Yelp and he sent someone right away to assess the work needed and gave us a quote that was more than fair. The work that Alfredo did was more than we could ask for, he was on time and workmanship was great, and they were very courteous and thorough. The response to our many questions were professional and quick. We are very happy and will definitely be using their services again!
Jessie and Gabriela did a great job on a lot of different tasks around our home, from wood repair to painting to installations. They were friendly, punctual, and clean, and Jessie went out of his way to give us advice on other projects we have planned. Much appreciated!
Raul & his associate Lou have been so terrific to work with! Their skills and their professional yet friendly demeanor has won me over. Raul even checked in with me after the handy work was done to ensure that I was a happy customer. They charge extremely fair prices as well and were able to accommodate me on short notice.
I had to get a bathroom door fixed, a faucet set back in place and some holes drilled into the wall - all their work is still strong and sturdy.
Thank you two for your work and service!
Raul's painter did my entire house exterior and it looks great. Reliable, fast and friendly. They did the job in the timeframe set and for a great price. The workers were very professional. They did all required prep work and supplied all the materials. They even did stucco repair and fixed an old AC hole in the wall.
We are very pleased.
Raul and his associates were great to work with. They accommodated my request for the earliest appointment available and promptly showed up on time. Installed a bedroom light fixture and left with the area clean. A week later, came after hours to check out the range hood and electric fire place that weren't working. Even though he couldn't get it to work, he still verified all the electrical connections were working properly. Appreciated all his effort and time and didn't charge me for it. We look forward to working with Raul on future repairs!
I had Raul and his associate come out and repair a wooden window sill in my house that had significant damage / rot. Raul was able to provide me a quote over the phone (after I sent a couple pictures) and completed the work the very same day!!!
Timing was important because I had painters there working on the exterior of the house.
Raul was prompt, professional, fairly priced, and did an excellent job!

This job called for general maintenance and repair of a 10 unit town-home style building. The work consisted of replacing, prepping, and painting a lot of wood that was aging due to weather and deterioration. Most of the work was on the entryway portico structure. Other work included hanging parking signs and repair of rain gutters above the portico. The wood casing around the four windows was replaced and painted. Missing stucco was patched and painted. A lot of time was spent on the prep, which resulted in nice looking finish. The job took about 4 days to complete. The workers came early and put down tarps before working. The guys were professional, worked quietly, and always left the area neat and clean. Overall we are very satisfied with the work.
Raul was extremely prompt to reply and gave a very reasonable quote as compared to a couple others. Frank worked on the property and finished everything in a timely fashion, fixed a couple minor repairs and moved furniture without an extra charge. Their work is impeccable. Very helpful, courteous, patient and prompt. Would definitely recommend them!!
Raul and the team were amazing. Quick to respond. Reasonable. Great communicators. They were neat and finished the work as promised on time. We had recently remodeled our home and needed to make a few updates to the garage to tie everything together. We had a bit of remodeling fatigue but after working with Raul and his crew we were actually sad to see them go. We will most definitely be using them in the future whenever the need arises...

I contacted Raul (The Affordable & Licensed Handyman) to get some stucco patches fixed. He responded very quickly and professionally. Unlike a few other who never called back. He requested pictures to a quick text was sent to him with the size of the patches needed. He gave me a quote (Hundreds less than other quotes) within minutes and was able to start that day, A few hours later and he was all done, you'd never know there was any work done after it was painted. I will absolutely use Raul for whatever needs to be fixed next.

Raul was awesome! Our gas line to our fireplace was covered by drywall. We needed him to come in and locate it, install a key and connect it to our fireplace. Not only did he have the job completed quickly but he gave us a fair estimate with great communication. We will use him in the future for other projects!
If you're looking for a handyman, chances are you're feeling some frustration. There's something in your life that you either don't know how to fix, or don't have time to fix.
Luckily for you, you're here, on this particular web page. So now you can call Raul and spend your time on other things. Netflix... spa day... surfing... whatever does it for you. Raul is on the case, and he's got this.
My wife and I had a kitchen problem that half a dozen specialist outfits wouldn't touch--one call to Raul and a few hours later, it was handled. No drama, no head-scratching... just done and done.
I think that's what you really want in a handyman, right? Prompt, knowledgeable, reasonably priced. The fact that he and his crew are cool people is a bonus.
To recap: Call Raul = frustration solved. Just don't call him next week, OK? We still have a bunch of other stuff needing doing on our list, and about four more Netflix shows we want to watch.
Raul saved us! We had to install a tricky new dishwasher as well as some really heavy floating shelves. He did everything so efficiently and was also a really terrific person. Now that we've moved to the Valley he's our go to handyman for any jobs big or small!

Raul and Jesse were great. Raul was responsive when I first called, and then was easy to get in touch with over the phone and via text and email.
I needed them to remove some debris under the house that was called in an inspection when we were selling our home. They also re-attached some insulation under the house that had fallen.
They were quick (came out the next day) and were so nice. Definitely recommend these guys!

Raul is always available and capable of most any handyman concern we have ever encountered in over 10 years. Excellent servicemen and support from Raul who mostly administers rather than go in the field. He relies on text rather than phone call for most communication which may suit some better than others.

Great work and wonderful response time!! Our front door threshold separated from the floor beneath it and we could not open the front door.
Raul called me very shortly after I contacted him. He came by the same day, looked at the problem, gave me a very reasonable estimate to make the necessary repairs and came the following day to do the job. He came with all the necessary parts to repair the threshold and also replaced the stripping under one of the double doors that had worn out. He made sure all the parts matched the bronze color of my door frame as they needed to be painted so they matched well. He and his helper cleaned up beautifully and we were extremely pleased with the job they had done.
I would highly recommend Raul and will definitely use him for any future repairs we need. We were very, very satisfied!!!!!
Raul helped me right away and did great wrk !!! Was reasonable and fast !!!! Definitely would call again
Great handyman...reliable and did a perfect job.
Will recommend. Called others who couldn't be here for a week, or didn't want to bother being a smaller job. Will recommend!
I found Raul on Yelp and because of his great reviews, I decided to shoot him a text about a patching and painting job I needed done quickly and as soon as possible. He responded immediately and was extremely professional. He said he was able to complete the job the next morning and gave me a quote that beat every other handyman I had contacted.
He and his collegue, Jesse, showed up promptly and on time and were both so pleasant to work with. Not only did he do the job we agreed on, but he went the extra mile and did not charge me for it! His patch and painting work is on point! He color matched some custom grays in our bedrooms and it looks like nothing was ever touched up! I would highly recommend Raul. I have a few other jobs that I will be calling him for in the near future!
Raul & his son were awesome, I asked for a quote via Yelp he responded quickly & was able to quote my project with picture sent via text message. He went over & beyond will call him again for every & anything...than
PS. He even worked while it rained outside

I contacted them to schedule an appointment to patch up a hole in the ceiling caused by a leak. There was misunderstanding at first about whether I was in the area that the company serves (I live in Silver Lake, and it took awhile to learn that they typically do not go there). But, Raul was willing to make an exception, and sent someone out to do the job. The patch job was excellent; the ceiling looks as if it was good as new. This is the third time that I had to have this work done, and while it cost a little bit more than the other times, I am impressed with the careful and professional manner that was done.
Had a few items needed fixed, sink stopper, drywall, etc. Raul was extremely helpful! He was able to schedule right and fix everything needed. Not only did he do good work, but was also pleasant, and COVID safe as he came in mask and booties. Would highly recommend if you need a handyman!!

I was updating my small powder room in my Townhome. I had actually called about four different handymen on Yelp and out of all of them, Raul responded when he said he would. He was very professional and polite the entire time.
He was very reasonable and u sees tanking. He worked over 10 hours putting in new floors, new lights, toilet and a mirror. He did a lot of small details and worked incredibly hard never complaining. Highly recommended for a trusted handyman.
Raul is great!
We needed a chandelier installed in our condo so I found The Affordable and Licensed Handyman on Yelp based on the wonderful reviews, gave him a call and he came by a couple hours later! It took Raul and his assistant less than an hour to put up our chandelier and it looks beautiful!
Raul is a good contact to keep in mind for any handyman needs. He is also a licensed contractor so we will definitely be reaching out to him for our future projects!

Installed AC unit at my house- super accommodating with scheduling and stayed late to complete the job. Fair pricing and honest about what is needed vs not. Highly recommend!!!
Raul completed some work at my house with great overall work and attention to detail. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and completed everything as scheduled. I would highly recommend him and would call on his services for future work.
Raul, is very accommodating. It's been 18 months since our kitchen remodel. Recently, an LED under cabinet light strip went out and we called Raul for his assistant. He took my call and came to our home the very next day to repair the light strip. Raul stands by his work and makes sure his customers are fully satisfied!
Nice and easy, we had a door screen to be fixed, it was all made same day and perfect work, I will certainly recommend

Raoul answered my call within 10 minutes, and was able to squeeze me in on the same day. He installed a new ceiling fan and light and the cost was reasonable. He's a nice man, and I will hire him again when I can do more projects. Referring him to my neighbors right away!
I had a roof leak around the skylight after a rainy storm, I did also had a small water damage and two cracks in the ceiling, I have been in contact with Raul through Yelp, he responded to my message within few minutes, Jesus came to my home in one day to have a look on the area damaged, then Raul sent me the quote which was reasonable and fair so I agreed to proceed with the job, the work has been done perfectly, the ceiling looks much better now, no more roof leak, thank you Raul and Jesus for the great job, I really appreciate you working during this pandemic crisis, i will definitely hire you again whenever I have a problem in my house.
I contacted several handyman services through Yelp and Raul was one of the first to respond to my inquiry so I decided to give him a shot and have him come out for a quote. On the day of the appointment Raul showed up on time along with his colleague Jesse and they were both extremely professional and compassionate. They were extremely fair and reasonable as well and were able to resolve an issue that others were not able to. I highly recommended Raul and Jesse.
I neede a smart door knob installed to work with my Ring system. They were great. Fair price. Worked quickly.
Raul is very honest person n excellent work n services. Affordable prices. Thank u Raul for your service
The tree roots in front of our house caused our brick fence post connected to our metal walk-in gate to tilt, and we couldn't close it. We needed to reduce the gate door width and metal latch replaced. Raul's quote was a 1/3 of the price from other companies. Alfredo cut and welded our gate door to the proper width, and made sure to clean up when he was done. I highly recommend Raul and his team.
These guys are great. I needed a fast fix on some patching to a bedroom door with a hole in it. I sent him a picture via text around 10am and they had a handyman in my house fixing it by noon. Frank was the handyman who came and patched the hole. He was very nice, clean, and polite. And the hole was patched and painted very nicely. Looked like a new door. I definitely would call them if i ever need any repairs to my house. They are fast and quick to respond. Pricing is also reasonable and negotiable which was awesome. Thanks again guys!

Raul was referred to me through a friend who was very happy with his work. I hired Raul to install a ceiling fan, install new doorknobs, and fix a problem with our outdoor sprinkler plumbing. Raul arrived on time, was very professional, and gave me an accurate quote before starting the work.
I was very happy with his service. He did not stop until everything was perfect. I highly recommend Raul for a wide variety of handyman needs.

Had Raul come in and repair some items in our house. He was diligent, timely, had great attention to detail, and was very reasonably priced. Will definitely use their services in the future when needed. Thanks so much Raul and team!
Raul and his team were great to work with. They were prompt and did a great job installing a new mailbox for me on the sidewalk. I would definitely use them again.

I rented a new apartment in West Hollywood and I needed to do some remodeling, installations, electrical work, new furniture assembly along with large mirrors and wall art hangings. I wanted to hire a handyman that is a licensed building contractor for the work. I spoke to the owner & contractor named Raul. He had his Assistant named Jesus come out for an inspection to give a quote for all of the twenty various tasks to be done. I received a fair quote from Raul and decided to proceed with them. Jesus did all the work in a professional and efficient manner. I was very impressed and I think Jesus is a great Handyman. I will continue to use them for any future work that I need to be done and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a Handyman service.
Excellent service. Raul came by to give me a quote on a project at my house, some stucco work on the exterior. His proposal was reasonable and he started right away. Raul was on time, polite, and the final result was better than expected. 5/5 stars.

Reasonably priced, excellent service, and professional. Hung a flat screen. Hung a light fixture, and other repairs. Will call again.
I have used this company twice now. Raul was responsive and professional,
provided an accurate quote in advance and followed up to make sure we were happy with the service. Frank is the handyman who has worked on both jobs and he is polite and professional. He shows up on time and works quickly. Each time, he has left the work location spotless when finished. I have used this service for hanging very large mirrors, painting, running cable wires through the wall to the tv and other miscellaneous repairs. I have been very happy with the results each time and will not hesitate to use them in the future.
Roger did a truly excellent job with my laundry enclosure. He was very polite and professional. It came out better than I thought and he even sealed and stained it for me. We couldn't be happier! Thanks again
downgrading to 1 star as a long time later I read Raul's reply to me, and its complete nonsense. Trying to say the bill reflected wasted time. NO, the bill was for 12 hours for 2 people like agreed but there was only 1 person there for half that time. its that simple. He tried to rip me off and when I called him out on it instead of being fair, he tried to make excuses and continued to try and rip me off. I am a very fair person, I even tipped the assistant Jesse after being appalled with Raul and disappointed with the work that was done as I felt bad for Jesse as its not his fault he works for a con man.
The fact that Raul has tried to then say that I was wasting time is so rude and so completely untrue that I felt the need to come back and downgrade my star. I gave 2 last time because people need to make a living and I don't like being negative, but this guy has no remorse or understanding for what is fair and right. I would give 0 stars if I could. please please don't use this guy.
update**
I downgraded my review 1 year later because I had never actually checked yelp messages until now. I saw how rude Raul had been in his response to my generous rating of 2 stars last time, and thought something needed to be said however late. he has now saying in this thread that I'm harassing him, for sending 1 yes 1 message on yelp messenger. This is the kind of man he is, takes no responsibility for his mistakes, and blames and attacks his customers if they review him poorly on yelp. Being able to review people and let them know your experiences is the whole point right. Ive since used many many services from yelp all professionals and all done great work. Ive been a member since 2013 and Raul is the only bad review I have ever had to write and that is because it was such a bad and terrible experience. The other 5 reviews over 4 years have all been positive to help good businesses. He just obviously cant hack criticism and clearly needs to learn how to put his hands up and learn from his mistakes. This is an essential part of being in business and also being a mature human being. shame this is not how he operates. Still I wish him good luck to grow and be better.

As a property manager I am always seeking for reasonable and dependable licensed contractors,once again Yelp came through for me with Raul.This is a man of all tasks honest and dependable ,highly recommended!
Thanks yelp!!
Looking forward to the next project.
Same day service! Alfredo replaced my kitchen faucet. He was prompt, courteous and neat.
Thank you Raul for such great service.
I needed some window shades installed in an area with a metal frame. One of Raul's colleagues, Lou, came over to do the job. Lou was extremely friendly and professional. We were able to schedule an appointment on a short time-frame. Lou showed up on time, completed the job well, cleaned up, and even helped us donate our old window shades to a local charity shop. I thought the pricing was fair as well.

I had an excellent experience with Jesus today. He was knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. I had a variety of things that required repair that I had been putting off because of quarantine. Jesus was efficient and safe following all local guidelines for masks and social distancing. I would definitely use their services again.

We needed to have part of our bathroom ceiling patched. I contacted Raul and he was very quick in responding and his price quote was very reasonable. Raul called me the morning he was to come over and told me he was sick but would be sending his assistant. His assistant was awesome. Amazingly professional and friendly. He was quick and did a fantastic job.
I had quite a long list of small repairs to take care of and contacted the Affordable & Licensed Handyman. They were quickly to return my call and the very next day Jesse came by to check my place. He was super friendly and ready to tackle all things on the list. Jesse came two days after and went above and beyond to make sure everything was done. I can definitely recommend Jesse, he's knowledgeable and very professional.
Raul was quick to respond to my inquiry for urgent work I needed. He showed up within a couple of hours with a co-worker to get the job done. Raul and team were quick, efficient and did great work especially under some difficult circumstances... his rates were as advertised - affordable. I will be using this service again in the future.

Couldn't be happier with the job Raul did. Everything I asked for he completed in one day. I thought for sure he would need a couple days for it.
Raul and Jesse, his co-worker, were professional and courteous. The place looked as clean as it was before they started.
Thanks again guys!

Raul + his team are amazing! Roger was my handyman and he was FABULOUS! Showed up to provide a free estimate and I got my quote back in 24hrs. Roger then reached out to schedule the work. He handled all my requests; wall patching, security gate installation, doggie door installation and a few other household tasks. He was professional + prompt. I will def be using Roger's service again whenever I need some help around the house. Thanks Roger :)

I am providing 5 stars to Raul - who is a man of honor and dignity. Here is my story : I started a project with a balcony and sun room leak in my house in west hills. I contacted Raul who assigned it to one of his crew members. I was advised to redo the tiling on my balcony. After 2 weeks of work the job got interrupted by excuses from the contractor and very bad job with the layout of the tiles. And to make things worse the leak started during rains. I was extremely disappointed and frustrated with the situation. I called Raul - This guy came and immediately took control of the situation. He not only fired the contractor but brought in special crew to REDO the entire balcony. He made sure he was there every single day to monitor the work till completion. Even though I am not a professional, I know Raul lost money from his pocket to make this right.
I highly recommend Raul for his integrity and work ethics. He has earned my trust and will be my go-to man for future work

I hired them to assemble a vinyl gate kit, they were totally lost trying to figure out the assembly instructions for the gate. They wanted to start cutting the groove off one of the slats and use screws to hold it together which would have ruined the gate! I said if your sure it has a wrong piece let me return it and get a new one, The job consisted of installing one vinyl gate and hang a new ceiling light for a total of $400. I said go do the light now and I will return the gate and when it comes you can finish the job! I will give you $200. now and the other $200. when the job is finished! He said NO that wants more money to come back to finish, now we are at OVER $500. He was here aprox.45 minutes and I said you are getting to expensive and he wanted $100. now and not finish the job!
I paid him he's gone, not professional at all not to smart as well couldn't read the instructions properly! SAVE YOUR MONEY OR YOW WILL GET A SLOPPY JOB OR NO JOB DONE AT ALL!!!
Raul was very friendly and easy to work with. He got the job done fast and would highly recommend for any job!

All was done timely and at the decent price rate. Will use their service again.
have to say that me and my wife are very happy with the service that was provided by the affordable and licensed handyman service!!! Thank you for being so reasonable and understanding and making our house beautiful again.. we were extremely happy with your work and will definitely use you again. thank you again Raul
Raul and Jessie are terrific. They were on time, did terrific work and the pricing was very fair. Highly recommend them for any home repair / handyman needs.

Raul was quick to respond and come and assess the work to be done and he was available to complete the work within a week. He demolished an old mailbox and installed a new one. In terms of the work, I'd give him 5 stars. The price was twice what we were quoted by another contractor but that contractor was unlicensed so I assume that accounts for some of the difference. So just knocking off a star for price. Overall, really happy.

Absolutely recommend Raul and his crew. We had an electrician come pull electrical for our solar panels which left many large holes in our walls. We had a company with good reviews on Yelp come and fix the walls, lets just say this company did a terrible job. I called The Affordable & Licensed Handyman to see if they would help us fix the terrible job the previous company we hired did. The Affordable & Licensed Handyman was amazing, night and day to the previous company we had worked with. They were professional and so neat and organized. They covered their work area and our floors while they worked. Its needless to say they did an amazing job, you would never guess there had been large holes on our walls when they were done. Their work was impeccable. I will definitely use their services again next time we need any work done around the house. I also was very pleased with the cost, which was very fair. We had them come out during the Pandemic and they all had masks, socially distanced, and wore shoe coverings, which made us feel safe.

I was in need of a handyman to fix various issues around the house so I searched on Yelp. After seeing the many positive reviews, I decided to take my chances and give this handyman a try. From day one, Raul was prompt and professional. I especially appreciated the fact that he took the time to listen to my concerns and even offered ideas which ended up saving me money. Unlike many handymen that I have used in the past, Raul did not try to upcharge me. Thank you so much for your help, Raul!
I can't tell you how hard it is to find someone who is responsive and honest. I contacted Raul and true to their promise, he responded almost immediately. Within 20 minutes I had already had an email and a phone call from them.
Jesse set up a time where he could come look at my leaky roof. He explained, in great detail, with pictures exactly what was going on. He showed up a day later, on time and fixed the problem. He was polite, knowledgeable, professional and reasonably priced.
My experiences with contractors and handymen has been abysmal. It is a relief to know that they are just a phone call away. Honest and reliable, what more could you ask for?
Raul and his assistant helped us out with several projects recently. He's super nice and his work is fast and thorough. Highly recommend!
Raul was very responsive to my yelp inquiry and then within same day came and gave me a quote. The following day he and Jesse arrived and did quality work, quickly, and for a very reasonable price. I will be using them again!
Guys came by on Time!! Did a great Job. Will be using again for other home projects. Thank You Raul.
Raul did an amazing job! He was on time, responsive, personable and very knowledgeable. I will contact him again for more work to be done in my home.

My husband and I had been looking for a handy man for several weeks because we had many little things to be fixed around the house. The main problem was the tub upstairs was replaced by husband and it was leaking. We had a Plummer give us a quote but he was only going to replace pipes and not fix the hole. After, weeks of trying to get people to give us a quote my husband found Affordable Handyman on Yelp. We received a quote and decided to book them. They came by the next day and finished all the jobs within two days.
Raul and his assistant arrived on time, were professionals, and did a great job! I can't even tell there was a hole in my celling. At first, I thought it was pricy but once he finished the job I understood why. They make sure the job are done right. It is worth every penny!!! If you need a handy man I would suggest to call them. Big plus is that they bilingual---Spanish/English.

Just had Raul refinish my patio overhang and he and his crew member did a terrific job. Super friendly, do great work and clean up after themselves - a great person/company to hire. I said last time I'd hire them again, I did, and I'm sure I'll hire them again as well.
Service was timely. They came the next day. Took care of all the work. I was completely satisfied and will definitely use them again.
I have had a problem with my bathroom cabinets not closing properly.
I had a cabinet maker adjust them a month ago & it was not good.
Daniel arrived on time, checked out the cabinets & fixed the problem! Excellent job, thank you

So now Raul is flat out lying. Before his response to my review was that he was busy and I should feel sorry for him because he works so hard. And he acknowledged that he was unresponsive. Now he's deleted that comment and is trying to pretend this review isn't legit. Shame on you, Raul. You earned your one star by repeatedly stringing me along when you knew I was under deadline, then never following up to do the work. All you have to do is do better with communication (and don't say you can do work when you can't) and your reviews would reflect that.

My front door hinge was broken. Raul was the first company to respond within minutes of my yelp inquiry. He came same day and fixed the problem lickety-split! He was extremely helpful and pleasant and professional. Raul is our new handyman for sure!
I contacted this business in need of a handyman because the guy I hired two days before didn't show up. Raul responded in ten minutes! His professionalism amazed me. After speaking with others in the business I was somewhat frustrated. I felt as if I was asking for a favor and could someone please help me. That wasn't the case with Raul. Within minutes we had set an appointment for an estimate. His assistant showed up at the designated time. I felt comfortable with them. The price was reasonable and the work was top notch. I look forward to doing business in the future with these guys. Highly recommend!

We contacted Raul and he promptly responded, He came out, gave an estimate and quickly scheduled the work. Raul and his crew repaired and spot painted cracked sheet-rock, replaced a light switch, adjusted a side garage entry door, installed a couple of stairs in the garage, installed a hand railing and prepared and painted a peeling automatic garage door.
Raul and his crew were prompt, capable, professional, and diligent. We would definitely use them again.

Raul & Jesse are my heroes! I had an issue w/ my balcony door that would not open, locked shut! I was stressed thinking about the costs of getting new balcony door. When I contacted Raul and sent him a picture asking if it was something they could fix, he immediately said yes! The dream team came over and Jesse did his magic! He opened the jammed door .. studied it for about 15 minutes or so .. found a solution, fixed it and made me the happiest person on earth! Thank you Thank! Keeping them in my phone, forever lol. He did what a locksmith said couldn't be done! Bam!!
Raul provided a competitive quote and finished the project on time. Extremely happy with how everything turned out. Raul is highly recommended.
Raul arrived promptly and he and his partner were able to repair and install our vanity at a fair price. We're satisfied and we will use them again.
Raul replied to my request the same evening I sent it!
He sent out his contractor Jessie to assess the work at no charge. After providing me with a quote that evening, I approved the work and they started the next day.
Raul and Jessie came early in the morning to install a TV, change my dryer Vent location, and add a copper water line for the fridge.
These guys were great. My house presented them with a lot of difficulties, but they worked diligently to get the job done the right way. It took them pretty much the whole day to finish it up. Any other contractor might have asked for more money or if they were hourly, I would have ended up paying a lot more. They quoted a price, and they stuck to it. They even made a run to the hardware store to get the right items.
They were not trying to rush the job to go somewhere else, which is the feeling I get from a lot of other people I have hired in the past. They took their time, did the job right, and cleaned up after themselves.
Raul, The Affordable&Licensed Handyman, was terrific. He made it easy to set a date and time; when he showed up he went right to work and did a great job. He was efficient, careful, attention to detail and clean. In addition, while talking to Raul you clearly are impressed with his experience and real care and concern for his clients. I highly recommend Raul and will use his services again in the future!!!!

Raul was prompt, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the variety of projects I presented. Masonry, carpentry and basic repair all handled with ease and efficiency. He generously assisted me as well as a friendly gesture as my car had a flat too! I was so pleased with his friendly demeanor and professionalism. The one to call for sure! His rates are fair and on par with others.
There are a team of handymen working for this company. A fellow named Lou returned my email, called me and came the first day to give an estimate on several miscellaneous projects. He did very good work. I'd hire him again.

Another 5 Stars. Raul is very quick to respond, friendly staff and the best price. They came when they said they would and did a fine job. Will use again on a bigger job.
I hired Raul and Jesse to fix a door frame I had butchered trying to switch the way the door opened from one side to the other. Jesse was able to complete an excellent fix. He showed up on time, cleaned the work area, and his quality of work was high. Their pricing was reasonable. They were able to fit me in quickly. Thanks for the help.
Unreliable company. He is unavailable to talk by phone. Always a text that he's unavailable to talk after I would call. When I requested a written or email estimate specifying the work to be done and the amount (to confirm both parties were on the same page and to avoid any issues), he sent a very condescending and rude text saying he has dozens of people desperate to hire him and would be passing on the job as he always tries [his] best to make [his] life as easy as possible all because I asked for a written estimate. This raised a red flag to me that he doesn't stand by his work and is not a hard worker but rather looking for the easy route, and I would potentially have future problems with his work. Wouldn't recommend working with a company like this. Bad customer service.
I reached out to Raul for a simple repair for a DIY project gone wrong. He asked for pictures and gave a quick quote. Overall, he's a very efficient handyman that gets the job done professionally. Can't thank him enough for stopping on by my place given the short notice. Highly recommend using Raul's services!
Raul repaired a hole in the stucco, replaced the trim around a window, and repainted our balcony doors and window. He was very professional and efficient. Definitely using him for future projects.

Raúl was easy to work with, did a great job, and communicated with me consistently and thoroughly. He was professional and friendly via text and in person. I love that he uses text to communicate. He kept me abreast of any updates and I really appreciated his follow through. I needed to have a door repaired, but didn't have the room inside my apartment. He was creative in solving the problem and I didn't have to do anything. He left his workspace and my apartment neat and clean, which often doesn't happen with handymen. I will be calling him for any future repair or handyman needs.
This company is very quick and good with their work. Jessie was very efficient and answered any and all questions I had. Raul and Jessie are a great team. They finished everything in a timely manner and I was very pleased with the work. Thanks guys.
I had a fairly small project and they were prompt and very willing to help me. They replaced two fence posts and stabilized my property fence quickly and professionally. The work they did made my fence just like new. I will definitely use them again in the future.

We were stuck right before the holidays when Amazon Home Services screwed us. They promised to build the outdoor trampoline we ordered, but didn't show for the first two appts. Then Amazon canceled. So we had an unbuilt trampoline present for the kids. Not very fun.
Raoul heard our plea and sent someone over right away. It was a two person job and the quote was more than the trampoline cost or than I could afford as a single mom. I regretfully declined. I thought that was it. But then he asked me what I COULD afford. I told him. I figured it wasn't enough and I kept looking.
The very next day, two of his men showed up to do the job for my price! We were blown away and it was a beautiful holiday surprise. I actually do have a lot of handyman tasks around here, and I plan on going to Raul for them. He saved us and his guys were awesome, even working in some light rain which much have been difficult.

I have worked with a few different contractors. This company is quick, efficient, professional and prompt. They arrived exactly when they said they would with all the materials needed to get the jobs done. They chose the most permanent solution to the problem to insure it wouldn't happen again and to professional standards. The next day we discovered more areas of the same problem and they came back within 30 mins and completed the additional repairs at no further charge. It seemed it was important to get the repairs done right rather than just be done with the issue. I think very highly of this business and will consider them first for future jobs. They are a bit pricey but the peace of mind that you are in good hands is worth it.

The wind and rain meant I had a problem with my chimney and rain was pouring down the chimney and into my living room.
Sent a request via mail and had a reply within 30 minutes and the guys were at my house on a Sunday an hour after that.
The rain was pouring down but they did the emergency repair very quickly and stopped the leak.
Price was reasonable and I will use them again in the future

The experience with Raul was excellent in every aspect! I had an emergency issue - leaking faucet, water all over, and I called this company and got a return call right away! Raul came out shortly after we spoke - and was a complete professional in his analysis and repair. He quoted me a price, we agreed, he fixed it completely even though it was more work than expected! He kept his bid price, and made sure it was all in working order. I would most definitely call him again for any work at my house - he was efficient, thorough, polite and personable. A pleasure to find for me and I look forward to working with him again.
I contacted this company and received a response promptly with a quote and an appointment. Jesse came and performed the work as agreed efficiently. He was very personable and explained everything to me well. I needed some follow up work done and was able to arrange that with Raul right away. The follow up work was done well and in good time. It's obvious that the Raul takes pride and ownership over his and his employees' work.

Raul responded quickly, showed up on time, and took care of my Ring installation. He did a good job and was a nice guy too. I would definitely call Raul again for handy work
Raul did a great job fixing broken dressers and patching up drywall. I called him and he was always ready to work and was available. He did EXCELLENT work and was very nice as well. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a reliable handyman that does a great job!
5 stars!!!
Giving an honest review & I would not recommend their services unless you just want a cheap price. Hired them for a washer & dryer line hookup (including electrical). First experience/visit seemed ok until I actually looked at the work... the gas line running to the heater inside was only supposed to be teed off to run to the dryer, instead the handyman asked me if I use the line and I said no the heater doesn't work but I do not own the place but the owner gave me permission to run the setup. So I'm not sure how the handyman took that but he decided to disconnect the gas line from the heater inside and patch up the original hole... I noticed it before he left & brought it to his attention and he goes on to say oh don't worry about it just call me and I'll come back and fix it before you move., So no worries on my end because I don't use the heater & he said he'd come back... I'm a cool dude I wasn't sweating it. Couple months later I reach out because it's almost time to move out & I need this fixed. The issue starts when I spoke to the handyman & he says he'll call me the following morning after I get in touch with him. I waited two days for my phone call to be received & didn't hear from him so I call again on the 3rd day. The 2nd time I called him he tells me he couldn't make it because he had car issues... no biggy for me if that was the actual case, again I'm a cool dude but a phone call would've helped me believe it a little more. The handyman apologized & said he'll come the following day at 9 am. Very next day at 9 am.... NOTHING, no phone call no text or anything. Here's where I'm a little bothered because I'm a businessman & I know the difference in real life problems & accidents in a business vs bullshit. So I call him around 2 pm, he claims he was busy & we agree to 10 am the next day... ??? He shows up the next morning around 8:45 am. Opens my yard gate with his partner and yells hello until I get out of bed and go outside. So after looking at it he basically tells me I said it was ok for him to do it that way because I said don't use the heater. I shut the argument down because I was already on edge plus he said he'd come back and fix it and pretty much wasn't asking him to do the work I was reminding him to do it at this point. ON TO the electrical. I won't say much about it other than horrible job and I mentioned that the gfci blew out and the handyman says it must've been something I did... I left that alone even though I knew he ran the wire wrong and wasn't using grounds. Simply said i had to have a professional electrician come redo all the electrical and fix what the handyman did horribly. Remember if you can't do the work leave it to the professionals Hope this helps
Raul is a GREAT handyman.
He is very professional and knowledgeable.
I got from him top of the line costumer service.
He is very punctual and reliable.
Most impotent and ultimately great work at our house.
No question, Raul is a 5 star handyman.
