Company Overview

custom closet setup, furniture setup, business workspace setup. I specialize in custom closet builds, particularly using the IKEA PAX system. Hourly rates are available. Reach out for complimentary estimates over the phone; in-person evaluations start at $149.

Check out matthewjenkinshandyman.com for additional insights. This handyman service was founded in the summer of 2018 after serving 4.5 years at IKEA. I decided to create my own assembly and handyman company. I've always been handy; I recognized my talent at twelve when my father removed the dashboard of our family's 1985 Camry and it sat that way for 90 days until I spent a day to reassemble without a manual. I've been passionate about crafting furniture and have created my own items for my house, and now I’m beginning to build tailored items for homeowners. I focus on retrofitting storage solutions using the IKEA PAX system, but I can set up all kinds of furnishings.

Before this, I served as a team leader at IKEA for four-plus years in sales. I’ve put together a wide range of items in that store, and I can offer suggestions if you need assistance, and I can help navigate your purchase, and navigate the frustrations of their customer support line and delivery issues.

My focus is on bespoke wardrobe installations. I am experienced with various wall types, and you won’t need to take off baseboards, and I can add decorative trim for a professional finish.

When it comes to furniture setup, I manage various handyman tasks, especially woodworking projects. I identify as an outgoing nerd. I’m confident in my skills, but I avoid tasks I can’t handle or try new techniques on your time. I practice at home on new tasks before offering those capabilities to you. Additionally, I’m from the East Coast, so I have connections to experts for specialized jobs.

We are so glad we reached out to Matthew Jenkins for our closet project! Communication was a breeze and he showed up on time for our scheduled project. We work from home so we got to chat with him about other projects as well. He's very knowledgeable and had great recommendations for us. We were very pleased with the installation of our Elfa closet system! Matthew did a great job and we saved some money not going with the container store installers.

Needed some hinges and drawer glides fixed or replaced. Matthew was quick to respond to my request and came out to take a look. Charged me $150 and said he needed to order the supplies for the repair, and would get back to us. That was 2 weeks before Christmas. We followed up with him via email, text, phone calls. No response. My husband finally got him on the phone two weeks ago and he said he would contact him back by the end of the week. It is now February. Again, no response. UNRELIABLE!

Matt is extremely thorough in his work and I would recommend him to anyone who needs closets built. He's willing to do more than most to get the project done right and leave his customers happy with the end result.

Highly recommend Matthew Jenkins. He assembled two pieces of furniture and did an excellent job. We exchanged emails and texts prior to the job. He responded to all in timely manner and was very clear and communicated well. I would definitely use him again in the future.

Matt was awesome! He brought my record cabinet to life and worked with Westworld Cabinets to create a design that worked for my collection and even allowed some room to grow. This work transformed my dining room from a mess of boxes to a presentable and functional display piece. Beyond impressed with the completed work and professionalism throughout the installation. Recommend you call Matt for any project big or small! This work was a little outside his usual closet organizer type contracts but a great example of the range of Matt's capabilities.

No-showed on my job. I wanted the rails for my kitchen drawers replaced. Matthew responded fairly quickly, we exchanged emails back and forth getting the estimate and so on set (I had no problem with him charging me for 1 day plus parts, said so in the email). Date was set for Apr 4 at 8am and he didn't show up. No communications from him at all. I called twice, got voice mail. Sent an email and 2 texts, none of which was responded to.

Matt has done several closets and cabinets in our garage. He even secured a very heavy piece of art to the walls. He is a joy to work with. He is honest, professional, does what he says and is good at communicating. We love working with him.

Matt is awesome! He is everything most handymen are not; he's prompt, courteous, clean and detail-oriented. Matt actually got me a quote on material & installation..... when he said he would!!! I know, jaw-dropping in this day & age. Matt helped me get my nightmare of a closet completely organized and utilized every inch of it, taking into consideration how I use my closet & customized it to meet my needs. Matt not on executes projects but also brings design ideas to the table. I'm looking forward to using him to install & organize shelving in my garage and custom build me an entertainment center. Thanks Matt!

Thank you, Yelp! I found Matthew through Yelp last year and he built a gorgeous entertainment center for us soon after. It was such a painless process that every time people comment on that area of our home, we bring him up. We asked him to come help us again last week with a few different builds/installs across our house. He is knowledgeable, professional and pays close attention to details as if it was his own home. As a bonus, he knows IKEA inside and out and was able to make great recommendations in addition to what we were already planning to do. Add to this that he's pleasant to have in and out of the house on a day-long basis and you've found the best handyman in San Diego. Highly recommended!

Matt is the best handyman possible. He is extremely reliable, does work to perfection, and really cares about getting a good job done. He has saved our business multiple times from last our minute moves to major cabinetry work. When we have opened new offices, he has always been there to build cabinets, do other installations, and make sure the job gets done correctly, on time, and to perfection. He make sure everything is installed correctly and securely. I would never work with another person for any house or office job, as Matt has proven to be the best around. He will make sure your job is done right.
