Craig Wybenga’s Handyman Service

I have used his service three times. He’s, on time, knows his trade, honest pricing, does NOT cheat, or scam in any way. I would highly recommend!(no, he’s not my brother-​in law (ha ha)

Craig has installed a dog door for me, and also done a drywall repair for me. Both times I was extremely pleased with his work. I also find his rates reasonable.

Really couldn’t have been less interested in helping me. I told him I had a few things I wanted done in my place and was wondering if I could get a quote. He immediately said he didn’t do quotes and that he worked hourly, which was totally fine. I then told him what I needed done and he told me he didn’t fix anything related to appliances or plumbing. Great… what do you do? His attitude didn’t help. The reason I’m calling is because I am not am expert – way to make me feel even less like one.

As much as I hate to revise a review to the negative, these reviews help people decide who to rely on. They expect our honesty.
I cannot recommend this serviceman for electrical work.
Sadly, after a month I had to call Craig back. The light he «fixed» was flickering. Very annoying when the fixture sits above the table where you’re eating a meal.
As I was explaining the problem Craig curtly cut me off and said, «You’re either getting power or you’re not. Change the light bulb. If it doesn’t work call me back.» I screwed in a brand new bulb bought at Home Depot.
Within seconds the flickering returned.
I called Craig to arrange a return appointment.
He said he’d be out the next Tuesday between 10-​noon. He had a job in our area.
In fact, he showed up at my mom’s at 9:30, before I arrived, and told her the light fixture is too old.
Had he changed the light socket I would have believed him. But, based on anecdotal experience, people buy old lamps all the time, change the socket and the lamp works for years to come.
Based on this experience I cannot recommend Craig for electrical work.

Called Craig based on his high ratings and am happy to say they are well earned. I had some miscellaneous things that needed to be done (fence repair, dry wall repair and mailbox mounting). Craig worked straight through to get the jobs completed. I will definitely call Craig next time I need some help around the house.

I usually never write reviews, but Craig was so good I’m going out of my way to write one. I found him through Craigslist and ended up at this Unilocal page. I’ve been through some horrible experiences with contractors, but Craig was amazing. He was very knowledgeable when I tried explaining my repair needs over the phone and gave me an estimate over the phone.
He actually came EARLY and got started right away. He works very efficiently and actually gone done before his estimated time. He handled a few electrical outlets, including GFI outlets, plumbing issues, and patched up some drywall for me as well. It was so nice that he took care of all this in one shot.
Give him a call. I really recommend him!

Craig just finished a job at my house. I asked him to replace a broken door in the master bedroom and fix a hinge on a kitchen cabinet. He did an outstanding job. He brings all his own tools and knows exactly what to do. He came on time, was extremely courteous and professional, and charged reasonable rates. He also cleaned up the work area after he was finished, leaving no sign that he was ever there. This is exactly what I wanted from a handyman. I highly recommend Craig. I will definitely call him again.

Only used him once, but after giving him a description of the work that we wanted done (installation of two fans, new electrical outlet, fixing a door), he gave a very accurate estimate of the cost. He was on-​time, knowledgeable, and did great work! We will be using him again soon!

Craig did all kinds of work for us a few weeks ago. Electrical, re-​hanging a door off the hinges, hanging a flat screen TV, etc. We are very pleased with his work, prices, courteousness, and timeliness. He works by the hour and knew what he was doing. For being paid by the hour, I think Craig worked at an appropriate pace. He did the electrical work we required and more for half the cost of a quote just on electrical work. We will use him again!

Called Craig for an estimate on a mudding and paint job for a very small hole in the wall (more of a pressure dent, not all the way through) I needed a written estimate since I was going to charge my roommate. Craig said «I never gives written estimates». that to me is a red flag, sounds like either bait and switch, not confident in his estimates or he’s been taken to court so he doesn’t want proof out there… It’s such a small job also It just doesn’t seem professional… He charges $ 50.00 and is unlicensed so there is no recourse if things go array… Also It always makes me wonder when someone has lot’s of 5 stars on Unilocal but the people who are rating them has 0 friends in their profile.

recently had craig do some work on our house. he charges an hourly rate and that makes it very helpful to figure out how much a job will cost. job was completed on time and very professionally done. couldn’t be happier.
one thing to note is that he’ll also charge for his time to pick up any materials. in hindsight that makes sense but if you know what you need you might be able to save a little money by picking up the materials yourself. worth asking him about if you ever decide to call him.

Craig gets a star for being courteous and punctual. That’s about it. I showed him what needed to be fixed and he didn’t seem to have any doubts on fixing them. Two hours go by and nothing got fixed even though he claimed the issues were better. I don’t need «better» I need «fixed». So even though nothing got done, he still charged me the full rate. Shameless and unprofessional because he wasted my time. He should have told me right off the bat that he couldn’t fix the problem and call it a day instead of wasting my time and money. Will never call him back for another job.

I recently had Craig do some work at my mother and father’s home. Setting up the appointment and time was easy. Craig is very easy to communicate with. My appointment was at 8:00am, he was there early and waiting for me. That’s always a good sign. His flat rate makes it very easy to budget. The quality of work that he did was excellent. I will recommend him and will continue to use his service

Reliable and reasonable. Charges a flat hourly rate.

Craig was very friendly and helpful. He was on time, worked efficiently and I would definitely hire him again!

Craig came right on time and worked hard for 9 hours with hardly a break. The quality of the work was excellent — in this case, caulking and the removal of a shade structure, and he was very reasonably priced.
Highly recommended!

I am very pleased with our kitchen lighting project completed by Craig Wybenga. We had a 4 bulb florescent light box removed and replaced with 9 LED lights. My experience was the same as the other Unilocal reviewers. Craig is very professional, on-​time, and very efficient. I would not hesitate recommending to friends and family. We will be contacting Craig in the future for his services.

I highly recommend Craig Wybenga’s Handyman Service. He showed up on time, fixed all repairs in a neat and timely manner, and did quality work.

I was in need of a handyman to mount a mailbox after the stucco work my wife and I had done. Searching for «handyman» in Unilocal brought me to Craig right away. Obviously the 5-​star ratings made it an easy decision.
Craig just left my home and I absolutely support his 5-​star ratings. I called him mid-​morning when his schedule was packed and he told me he’d make every effort to perform my job. Sure enough he called when he said he would, made it to my home, and task complete!
Craig is friendly, knowledgeable, professional, punctual and clearly skilled at his craft. He let me know that he charges by the hour so with a few minutes to spare, I asked if he wouldn’t mind offering opinions on other future «to do» items I have scheduled for my home.
Great service, he is bookmarked and I will without question call him again.

I’ve been using Craig as my handyman ever since I moved to my new home in Long Beach. He was highly recommended to me from a friend, and he’s done an AMAZING job on everything I’ve asked him to do– from tiling, installing a retractable clothes line on my home, assembling furniture, building doors, miscellaneous repairs (including plumbing/​electric), reinstalling insulation, power washing, removing and disposing of our fountain, installing ceiling fans, disassemble old cabinets in our garage, installing faucets, fixing our garbage disposal, cabinets, repairing our garage door, rewiring our lighting, repairing our old floor for squeaks – he’s EXTREMELY fair, punctual, and organized. He keeps all receipts for what he purchases on the job, and is super agreeable. I can reach him easily, and trust him in my home when I’m not there.
I’ve recommended him to all my friends and neighbors and wouldn’t trust anyone else for a job.
