Best Cabinet Staining in Los Angeles CA
Electrician
I came across Eric's work on IG ('65handyman'). It's hard to find the words to describe his talents and craftsmanship. But when he told me he went to a college in Europe for 3 years to get a degree in 'construction and everything handyman' it made sense. He has done EVERYTHING for us. Installed a toilet and a sink. Installed lights in walls where there were no lights before. Built a gate. And a fence. Installed skylights. Painted ceilings. Put up new walls. Put up wallpaper. Put down floorboards. Built an entire laundry outside. Transformed entire rooms. Whatever we have needed. He can do everything. But more than that, he is an artist. Everything he does is freaking unbelievably beautiful. And he isn't super expensive. There are handymen on Yelp who charge so much more and honestly have no idea what they're doing, it's like they just thought they could make money pretending to be handymen on Yelp. They could do with a three year degree in Europe.

Unhku was hired to repair 1) loose screws in an attic door, which the attic ladder was attached to, and 2) loose IKEA shelving at my home. I assumed he would be able to fix it since he was charging the most at $95 per hour relative to another handyman. He sent one of his guys - Sam.
Sam just started to drill bigger holes into the attic door without coming up with a game plan. No inspection, nothing. He assumed the big screws will hold the attic stairs to the door but didn't realize how big of a hole he was creating. He used butterfly anchors for the door. I was thinking why would you use butterfly anchors into a door if there's nothing to latch on? I can understand using butterfly anchors for the drywall so you can latch on to the back of the drywall, but a door? I was worried and provided wood putty to him so he can fill up the big holes he created. He didn't sue it. I asked him if it was safe, Sam said yes.
On to the next assignment - the IKEA shelving. My IKEA shelving was loose, and I wanted it fix. He just moved the shelves around. I kept on asking him if we can fix this issue, but he didn't really understand or ignore me. Sam's English wasn't great, so it was extremely difficult to communicate with him.
I gave up and had some extra work to fill up the time. I was worried they wouldn't know what they were doing. I asked Sam to drill some IKEA cabinets into the walls and install hooks. Guess what? My IKEA cabinets are crooked and not leveled. Sam was nice, so I felt bad complaining about the job. I kept on telling him to level the IKEA cabinet, but he didn't understand.
I reached out to Unhku to let him know my concerns and if 1) the attic ladder was safe and 2) can I fix my loose IKEA shelves. He came to look and told me my wall was not leveled so he won't be able to fix the shelving.
After they left, I pulled down the attic door/ladder so I can store some items in the attic. Guess what - the attic stairs came apart from the door. I informed Unhku. He told me to reach out to the manufacturer. Like seriously? What a professional! No apologies.... nothing.
He takes my $, breaks my attic door, expects me to fix it, and tells me to reach out to the manufacturer. No dignity. What if I was an old senior? Does he leave me hanging too? This was the 1st time I hired a contractor/handyman who didn't own up to his work. I read a similar issue with an individual giving him a 2-star review on his page, which I wish I saw earlier. I even asked them to give me a quote on creating a stair storage under my stairs. I am glad I didn't hire them. What if my stairs collapse and he goes go ask the manufacturer?
I basically paid them $210 just to punch some screws into the wall, which I could had done. They didn't fix anything I originally hired them to do. No invoice, no apologies, no empathy. Seriously no invoice - makes me wonder if they have insurance. If you want a basic job, sure hire them and pay them a premium. If you want a detailed and complex job - I would look elsewhere. You won't be able to effectively communicate your needs.

Great experience with Ted at Response team. He installed a ceiling fan and two bookcases in the girls room. Work was completed diligently in about two hours. We're very happy with the results.

Carlos was very attentive to his work. He followed up quickly. He did a great job with some brick work I had done. I will be hiring him to do more projects around the house. I'm very impressed with his work.
