Christian's Handyman Services

Christian came to install a door for me same day I reached out to him days before the big holidays. Very easy to work with and price was very reasonable. He came when other big companies told me I would have to go weeks without a front door. Christian saved my holiday and most likely all my personal items. Thanks agin Christian! Definitely will be using his services for any and all handyman needs

Christian is a true professional. He has completed a variety of jobs (plumbing, cabinetry, electrical, wall repair, and other basic handyman jobs) over the past few years for me. He's never disappointed. He's always on time with a smile and all tools necessary for the job. His prices are fair and he does an outstanding job! I would highly recommend Christian's Handyman Services!

Had Christian replace some insulation foam and fix some corbles. Replies in a timely manner. Shows up as scheduled. Friendly and easy going. He stands by his work.

He does a wide variety of repairs and remodeling. Highly recommended.

Christian installed an automatic cat flap in the interior door leading from our house to the garage. It was done beautifully. Highly recommend.

UPDATE: Christian responded to my review. I guess this is a he said/she said situation at this point. I'm not going to go back and forth with him but I will post a picture of how one of our hinges was carelessly installed by him with the shims left sticking out.

Original Review: We called upon Christian to hang two doors for our master bedroom. Our original appointment was on Friday at 9:30, he text my husband at a few minutes before he was supposed to arrive and let him know that he could not make it due to car problems. Not the greatest first impression but life happens so we agreed to reschedule to today.

Christian arrived this morning about 15 minutes late. He got to work on our doors. My husband went upstairs to check and he realized that Christian had cut a hole in the wrong door. My husband mentioned this to Christian and Christian acknowledged the issue. The only solution was that he get a different type of doorknob. Christian left to Home Depot to get an alternative type of doorknob.

Accidents happen and I understand that but here is what I have a problem with. When he was all finished and it was time to pay he charged us an extra $20. When my husband asked what the extra charge was for he said it was for the doorknob that he had to buy due to HIS mistake. He told my husband that when we returned the doorknob that we originally bought we would get a refund. While that is true, we now have to be inconvenienced to make an extra trip to return hardware because he made a mistake. Also, he should have run that by is before he decided to buy a new doorknob. I do not agree with this business practice. Also, he told us there is a $7 charge to use a credit card. That was not advised before the job. My husband came to tell me and I told him that I would write a check including the $20 for his mistake because I am not going to get into a fight about $20.

Pros:
- He took the old doors so we did not have to worry about their disposal



Cons:
- He is unprofessional
- He canceled our first appointment
- He was late to our second appointment
- He made a mistake and cut a hole in our door
- He charged us to fix his mistake
- He charges a $7 fee for credit card transactions

Christian was an expert at installing 3 very difficult lights/chandeliers in super high/awkward places. His pricing can't be beat and came over in very short notice. He can fix many issues and is super nice and speedy also! Thanks so much!!

Needed some hinges replaced on a shower door and Christian came through in a big way! Great communication throughout the entire process (locating the hinges and scheduling an install date). The install went smoother than anticipated and I am very happy. Will definitely call Christian if I have additional home repairs. Thank you!

I called Christian to trouble shoot a light that was not working at a rental we have in Poway. Within 30 minutes he was at the rental, had the electrical switch on his truck and the problem was fixed within the hour. I will be calling him again soon. Thanks Christian!

Great work! I purchased the wrong size toilet and he exchanged it for me. I felt comfortable enough to give him a key because I had to go to work and everything turned out great. Will definitely use again!
