Eureka we found our handyMAN! I contacted Gary for a quote for the installation of two new bathroom faucets. He was easy to communicate with and gave me a great quote for the job. Gary contacted me on the scheduled date and asked if he could start the job early. Of course the answer was yes! Gary and his partner installed the faucets without any problems and I have scheduled him for the next project. Thanks Gary.

After installing a customized swingset, my wife and I felt that a treehouse should be next on our list. Because of Covid-19 the parks and playground have been closed for nearly 6 months, therefore having a dedicated play area at my home made sense. Upon looking online for an actual playhouse with a slide, many were pretty pricy and the labor to install them were a few hundred dollars. After looking at a Google images for DIY treehouses I decided to ask for qoutes through Yelp messenger along with pictures.

Here is what I found out about Gary:

1) Communication: Gary was first to respond to my request for an estimate through Yelp and asked many clear follow up questions to ensure accuracy of my project. We also continued to follow up via text message and began the process on finalizing what I liked built along with providing me with a cost analysis and a timeline of completion. He was also confident in creating my treehouse even though it was a custom made project. Most of the responses I got from other companies were hesitant to do the job or were qouting me an unrealistic amount.

2) Customer Service: He is was on time, amicable, professional and also respectful. There were times when things didn't go according to plan but Gary was patience and was able to adjust and adapt to our needs. He did what he could to make his customers happy.

3) Price: The price was very competitive, reasonable and fair. He finished my project in 2 days with 3 of his workers who worked very diligently.

4) Workmanship: The tree.house seriously came out much better than expected. It's hard to give someone and idea through pictures and expect them to emulate what you want. Gary and his team fulfilled that through diligence and making sure everything was completed with accuracy. By the way they worked on this for 7 hours in a 100 degree weather. Much respect to them. They also cleaned up after themselves

5) Treehouse:: He came Day 1 to dig 4 post and added concrete. Day 2 he came out to construct my treehouse. The treehouse was 6x6 that included a deck 5 feet off the ground. There was a custom ladder, 3 foot railings, roof, and a sandbox. Lastly, it wood was stained in Sequoia colored paint to protect the wood from water.

6) Recommendation: Highly recommended for all jobs around the house. Feel free to message him through Yelp for your next project!

I highly recommend Gary. My shower handle had come loose and I didn't know whether it could be fixed or i had to replace the whole shower combo fixtures. He was able to fix the handle and saved me from having to replace the whole thing. Very professional and took care of issue in a few minutes. Will definitely use for future projects and issues.

My mom had fallen twice in the back yard so we needed a ramp. There's a 6' 7"" slope which is fine, these carpenters worked with the layout of the backyard patio in-order to make it work. The floor is made of plywood and was painted with a paint that will grip making it less likely to slip. They definitely had the most competitive price.

We had 2 water leaks in the house. After all the moisture was removed, I contacted Dave to fix the drywall damage, baseboard damage, rehang a closet door, as well as repair a few other drywall cracks just due to age. Repair work was done quickly and pricing was very responsible. Would not hesitate to use again or refer to friends.

They came early and got the project finished in excellent fashion! It was completed before I could even go out to greet them! Excellent work and will hire again !

We needed to install our microwave range hood and needed some help installing it. Gary was very responsive and come with Jim to install it. They cleaned after themselves and was careful in every step of the way. I would definitely recommend them.

I needed some repairs done on my front gate, as I was no longer able to lock it due to dry rot and tilting. I messaged Ashby Maintenance and got a very quick response. Gary, the owner, gave me a reasonable quote, so I decided to go with him.

On the day of the job, Gary showed up right on time. He and his associate did a much more thorough job than I was expecting, removing and replacing several wood panels, in addition to re-setting the gate so that it did not tilt. On top of that, they did a very nice paint job. The whole thing looks like new, and the lock works better than it ever did. Overall, I am very impressed with Gary's work, as well as his professionalism and reasonable prices. I won't hesitate to use him again in the future.
