ABC Maintenance & Handyman Services
Company Overview
I possess more than 30 years of extensive experience in all areas of home and industrial repairs, such as troubleshooting, construction, and creative problem-solving. I specialize in a wide range of areas, including electrical systems, plumbing, woodworking, appliance servicing, putting together and fixing furniture, finishing and painting, irrigation system repairs, repairing gutters, deck and fence restoration, home styling, automotive repair and restoration, setting up home theaters and audio systems, and likely many other areas. My background in fine arts supports my finishing skills and visual aspects when needed. Please take a look at my photos showcasing projects I have designed, managed, built, and completed.
Don’t hesitate to call me on my mobile at (415)606-8281 here in San Francisco, or email me at [email protected]. I can supply references upon your request.
After spending over three years traveling and living abroad, I founded ABC Maintenance in Santa Cruz, CA. I successfully operated there for more than ten years, gaining numerous satisfied customers who still provide referrals. In 2006, I relocated to San Francisco to seize a new opportunity, and I have since reestablished ABC Maintenance to serve the SF metro area. I am also a member of the revamped Cole Hardware Home Repair Referral Service.
Hello, I’m Aaron Cohick, the owner and sole operator of ABC Maintenance. Since childhood, I have been designing, building, and repairing various items. Instead of discarding my toys when they broke, I would take them apart to learn how to repair them, beginning my journey of self-education and skill-building for my business.
My current interests and activities, in no particular order, include: finding joy in life, traveling, enjoying nature, playing soccer competitively, hiking and camping, restoring classic sports cars, DJing vinyl records at local gatherings, going to live music events, dancing with friends, creating visual art in various mediums, watching indie films, discussing philosophy, cycling, being mindful, living simply, and practicing permaculture.
Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Aaron.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Aaron was willing to accommodate my schedule which was hectic because I was moving into a home. He did excellent work while keeping me updated as to the steps of the work and progress. He gave a valuable service for a fair price. He let me feel comfortable while I stopped to check on his work. I recommend him and his work to family and friends.

Aaron did a variety of projects for me. He is dependable and efficient, and does excellent work. He is practical and communicates extremely well. He saved me a bunch of money by fashioning a low-cost, eco-friendly drainpipe repair to the one suggested by a plumber. I couldn't recommend him more highly.

Aaron was on time, easy to communicate with and seemed to care about the projects. He installed a cat door on the side of my house, which required some problem solving about where was the best place. He also did a few other small projects for me that afternoon. He was kind, smart, skilled and easy to work with. I called him based on Yelp reviews. I will hire him again.

Aaron did an awesome job on my back sliding door he went beyond and above to do the job correctly also he responded quickly and is a very nice guy very comfortable with him ...I definitely will recommend him to my friends and family when needed

Aaron is really responsive, punctual and efficient. He got everything done that I needed in record time. Great resource!!!

Aaron Cohick got back to me within hours which I thought was great. He wasn't able to help me at this time because he has a backlog of work but he took the time to suggest reaching out to Cole Hardware for another recommendation. Great customer service!

I found ABC Maintenance by reading all the positive reviews on Yelp. We requested a quote from Aaron for replacing the corrugated panels on our roof because they were old, cracked and leaking! He replied quickly and was able to come out & look at what needed to be done, then give us his estimate. Because of his quick response, we didn't bother to get estimates from other handyman services.
The weather forecast was for rain on the day that we originally scheduled so Aaron called us the day before to reschedule. He kept us informed on the time he would arrive.
He came, looked over the problem areas and purchased the supplies he needed to complete the job. While working, it started sprinkling and he came to the door to let me know that it started to rain in case I wanted to put anything indoors so it wouldn't get wet. (How thoughtful!) He worked all day with no breaks until after sundown to complete the job! It was dark outside and he was still on the roof! Afterwards he cleaned up the area and took away the old panels.The new corrugated panels are stronger and it lets the sunlight comes through so the whole area brighter.
We also requested the names of painters from him for another job and he recommended two different companies.
After the job was completed, my husband was concerned about pine needles clogging up the drains on the roof, phoned Aaron and left him a message. Aaron was courteous enough to return the call and give him his professional opinion.
If you need maintenance and handyman services, ABC Maintenance should be your choice! Thank you Aaron, you did a great job!

Aaron is professional, courteous and knows his stuff... I worked with him on designing and building some bookcases for his client and he was on top of things. Providing me a clear understanding of what he needed and wanted for his client. It was a delight to work with him and I look forward to working with him again.

Add my name to another very satisfied customer. Aaron is extremely professional, prompt and very fair.
I got Aaron's contact information from Cole Hardware after four other handyman services never got back to me. I needed a door replaced and security features added to that door and another door - both exterior. He also installed new security lights.
His pricing is easy to understand, has no hidden fees or small print and he honors his bid. I am so glad I found him and will use him again - in fact, he will be my first call!
One word of advice to anyone calling or emailing him. He is a single proprietor business, so be patient. HE WILL call you back but it may take him a day to do so. He got back to me w/in 24 hours each time I contacted him with a question.

Here's my experience: My chair broke. I looked on Yelp and found Aaron, and based on the reviews, I decided to call him. We set an appointment for him to come out a couple of days later which was the best time for me. On the day of the appointment, he called an hour or so before our appointment time to say he could come earlier or he could come at the time we had set. It so happened that my schedule had changed and that earlier worked better for me, so he came early. That really worked well for me.
When he arrived, he was polite, professional, friendly, and efficient. He had the tools he needed with him. He fixed what was broken in the chair, and then tightened some of the other screws that had become a bit loose, so now the chair is stronger and more stable. In talking about the chair, we saw another problem that both that chair and another chair in the room had. He fixed that problem too - on both chairs. I paid him his fee which I considered to be quite reasonable, and then he left. Done!....Chair fixed. Cross that off the to-do list (which felt good!).
I can't think of any criticism or constructive suggestion to make. He came, was totally professional and had a good attitude, did a great job, charged a reasonable fee, and left. What more can you want? 5-stars.
