Kal The Handyman

Melissa W.

Calles two handymen I found on Yelp. Kal was available much sooner and very friendly on the phone. Was right on time. He loves dogs and dogs love him - which is important to me. I don't trust people who hate babies and dogs.

Anyway, he patched a big hole the plumber left after repairing the drain a few weeks ago. He textured the ceiling nicely but did not paint which is fine.

He also installed a ceiling fan and a light fixture over existing ones. He did a good job there too although the ceiling fan wobbles a little bit on high speed - but I think the last one did too.

I am not sure how Kal charges - he gave me a quote of $300 based on the jobs I said I had for him, it disn't seem to be an hourly rate. He was here about 3 hrs so that seemed inline with the first provider's quote he gave me that was an hourly rate. As a comparison, I will now compare the two quotes below.

That first handyman I called said he charged $120/hr first hr and $70/hr after that. So assuming would take him the same.three hours, that would have cost me $260 - about the same price as the $300 Kal charged. Of course with Kal I didn't have to worry if we stopped to chat since.it was a flat fee so that was nice. And sometimes people who charge hourly take longer to run up the bill. So, pros and cons each way.

In closing - I recommend Kal! He is very trustworthy and personable and was very kind and patient both with my dogs bothering him and with my husband and I asking questions. And he did a good job. I will definitely use his services again. He says he takes credit cards but prefers cash or check because of the fees tbey deduct - which I certainly understand!

Karl was wonderful! He was responsive, fair price, very quick and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him for any job.

Found Kal and gave him a call to do some small jobs around the house, install a toilet and 2 ceiling fans. Showed up ahead of schedule, very polite and professional and went out of his way to make sure we were satisfied. Highly recommend.

Kal deserves the perfect score! He is professional, responsive, and does not overcharge. I like that he explained to me what was involved with my repairs.
Kal installed lights in my garage, outside, front porch, and upgraded my fluorescent lights in the kitchen to spotlights. He replaced my fan over the stove and as a courtesy blew out a bird's nest that had been made in the exhaust pipe! Then he placed screening over the vent where they had entered. He also refers other specialists who are trustworthy.
Thanks Kal! You're the best!

Kal showed up and did a great job of rehanging my mother in laws cabinet that was falling off of the wall. Extremely easy to work with and he gave us a great idea on how to fix the problem, which was not easy in a mobile home. I would highly recommend him.

Kal is awesome and after replacing our front door has become our go-to resource for GC work I'm uncomfortable DIYing. Great quality-to-price ratio, but more importantly, he honestly and sincerely cares about customer satisfaction. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I hired Kal for an urgent issue of leaking toilet seat. He showed up the same day. He explained how it was leaking and causing damage to the ceiling. He fixed the leak. Great service. I will hire him again.

Kal installed a wine cooler in my kitchen. Sounds easy enough, but the cooler didn't quite fit properly and it was a job that was passed up by a couple other handymen. Kal tackled the job enthusiastically in no time at all. He was also very thorough cleaning up. Kal's a stand up guy and great at his craft.

I had Kal come over to do some home repairs and he did an outstanding job. He troubled shooted an electrical problem in my bathroom and found the problem in just a few short minutes. Then what really blew me away was that he completely replaced a bad door and molding that had root rot in my garage in just a few hours! I thought it would have been a 2-3 day job. He fixed a lot of things in a very short time. I like how he gave his honest opinion about some issues I had including a problem about my sliding glass door in my family room.
Kal is the real deal.
In short, I will never use anyone else to do repairs on my home in the future. I have had several handymen work around my house and none of them were as thorough, efficient and knowledgeable as Kal. He really knows what he is doing!

Kal was amazing! We had an emergency electrical problem in our kitchen and needed it fixed immediately before the food in the fridge began to spoil. Kal came over within a couple hours and gave us a very competitive price.
