Joe the Handyman

Great service, came by same day to replace my faucet. My honey-​do list is one item shorter!

Joe the Handyman got the job done! He’s all about quality and getting things done the right way, Highly recommend!

Joe has worked on several of my apartment units. He has remodeled a bathroom where he removed and replaced a tub, toilet, small wall, vanity and flooring. He has done small $ 50 jobs as well. I was really impressed with his knowledge and critical thinking ability. He has been in the industry for years and knows how to do the job right.
I’m happy that I finally found a fair, and honest handyman.

WARNING DO NOT CALL THIS GUY
Completely unprofessional I would pick someone else to do the job right !!!
Charged me 100 $ for 20 minutes of work and didn’t even do it correctly !!

Joe the handyman was great. He was on time. fixed what was needed for a reasonable price. i will use him again. Diane B

Scheduled a 9am appointment on a Saturday for an estimate to finish garage walls through Joe. I called hm at 915 and it was clear he forgot the appointment. After arriving 30 minutes late, he was polite and reasonable going over the work with me. He departed promising I would have an estimate by Tuesday. I inquired to him on Wednesday and am yet to hear from him nearly a month later.
Don’t waste your time here. It is apparently only valuable to you.

Joe did a great job installing screens on my house and taking my front door and turning it into a dutch door. Reasonable prices as well.

I wasted a week trying to get a clear estimate for repairs (shower heads, smoke detectors, back yard trimming) and ultimately decided against hiring him. He didn’t show up for the first appointment, then when he came he didn’t seem to have a clear initiative on what he’d actually repair or how much it’d cost. He said he’d send me photos but after 2 days of back and forth I only got a 3 terrible photos of the wrong thing. (He sent me photos of the wrong tree, nothing of the shower heads). He kept asking how he’d get paid before he even gave me an estimate, and overall it was a lot of stress and hassle I didn’t want to agree to.

A neighbor referred a handyman to me, I needed my shower door fixed. I called the referral and the guy came over took a part from the shower door and said he needed to replace it. Four days later after several tries to contact him the guy brought back my old shower door part and said he would not return? At this point I was feeling a little uneasy to have another handyman come out. I looked online and read the reviews on Joe’s work. He had 5 star reviews! I called him and he was booked but he still came over. Joe showed up on time! He took a look at the part the other guy took off and immediately went to work. Minutes later it was fixed!!! He didn’t go out and buy a new part, he fixed it with the part the guy said needed to be replaced. I will call him for any home repair I need in the future. He is a nice guy with an impeccable work ethic. You can’t go wrong with «Joe the handyman».

Amazing, amazing, amazing! I called Joe to see if he could come by and un wire an annoying smoke detector that wouldn’t stop beeping and Joe was here within the hour! Not only was he fast and efficient, he had 2 smoke detectors on his truck that he installed to replace the old ones. And if that wasn’t enough, he fixed my side gate that wouldn’t latch and my evened out my stove burners. I will definitely call Joe again and highly recommend him!

Thank you Joe! My kitchen sink faucet had broken and was laying in my sink. After checking Unilocal for handymen in my area, (Oceanside) I called a few. Joe was the only one who got back to me and fit me in between all his other jobs. Thanks again!

I needed some cabinets hung up so I called Joe. He was available immediately, but I wasn’t home yet. We set a time a little later that afternoon, and He came by right on time. He took a look at the cabinet, the wall and got right to work. I expected just a few screws in the wall, but Joe and his guy re-​framed the cabinet and hung it very well. I have full confidence that the job was done right. The price I was quoted over the phone was the price we stuck to, and I have absolutely no qualms about calling Joe back for any jobs in the future.

Joe is the best in the business! I’ve had him work at two different places and he comes when he says he’s going to come and if parts need to be replaced… he’ll run to Home Depot and get what’s needed!
The man is a perfectionist ! Don’t hesitate to call Joe if you need any home repairs or improvements!

Don’t wait, don’t live with your house in disarray. Had garbage disposal broken, leaking faucet and rotted out sink drain. Temporary fixed them on my own for months. After months of my wife upset with my «duck tape» fixes I knew it was time for a professional but I didn’t want to pay an arm and a leg and wait all day for the repair guy to show up. Saw great reviews for Joe on Unilocal and gave him a call.
Called Joe and he was at my house 15 minutes. Looked at my garbage disposal and told it needed to be replaced. Quoted me $ 90 labor. Looked up labor rates from other workers and it was $ 125 on average plus other «fees» Joe went and got the parts and got to work right away. The work was perfect, fast and professional. Couldn’t be happier with the work. Also gave me advice on how to fix my bathroom sink, much easier then I though. Thanks Joe!
I will call Joe for all my house needs. Now my wife is happy and so I am happy!

Joe was quick to respond and was able to fit me in the very next day. Upon Joe seeing what needed to be done, he let me know what the cost would be before moving forward. One of the issues Joe was assessing was a dishwasher. We needed to replace it and he offered to pick it up himself from Lowes. When he arrived, they told him they didn’t have the right one in stock. Joe went completely out of his way to another location to get the right appliance.
Long story short Joe went above and beyond normal expectations to help me and I highly recommend him.
Will definitely use him in the future.
Thanks Joe!

After researching local Handymen, I found Joe and loved his reviews on Unilocal!But, this story doesn’t have a happy ending. He answered his phone right away, and we made an appointment to meet at my listing in Carlsbad the next day. I am a Full-​service Realtor so I was taking care of something for my client. Joe came out (Thursday), saw the project which quickly became two projects. Install of a stackable W/​D and adding ducting for an Air-​Conditioner. He said he would have the quote ready either that evening or the next day. I didn’t hear anything back by Friday morning so I texted him. He said he was still working on the bid. On Saturday and again on Sunday, I tried his cell and had no response. When you work for yourself, your reputation is really all you have. Ability to communicate is very much part of that reputation. I lost 5 days waiting for Joe to give me a written bid. If this is how he runs his business, I would most definitely not hire him. So here I am on Monday morning making appointments again for the same job.
Final thoughts: If the job was too much, then he should have given me the common courtesy of bowing out early on. NO STARS

I read other great reviews about Joe when I looked for a handyman. I was not disappointed. He called me back right away, came over and gave me an estimate right away, we discussed our game plan, and I found him to be very knowledgeable. Unlike others, he showed up with measuring tape and appeared to be a serious working man. Not only was I not disappointed in the finished product, I was absolutely delighted. The work was correct, and good-​looking when it was all done. I know good work when I see it. My husband was a licensed architect in the state of California. He would recommend Joe.
I intend to ask his help for all my handyman needs.

Joe showed up on time. He ran to Lowe’s pick up the parts and repaired my sink on the spot.
Didn’t over charge for installation and in fact helped me with my ceiling fan at no charge. He was pleasant to deal with and a nice guy. I will definitely call him again for any repair I may need.
Thank you Joe!

I have used Joe now on four separate occasions. I figured it was time to leave him a review. The first time I called him one of the springs on my garage door had snapped. He made the time to get over that morning. He fixed it and for $ 100 less than the other two handyman I called had quoted me.
I called him back out for a toilet repair and a few minor things around the house. This last issue was a water leak inside my walls. Ugghhhhhh… what proved to be a nightmare was made much better by Joe. His drywall guy did an amazing job. You can’t even tell it was a patch. I had him correct a patch, that was badly done, over a year ago. He also patched a hole in our garage. The night we called him a valve on our front yard sprinkler system went out. He sent a guy to fix that issue too.
I have referred him to two friends. who have also used his service. Both said he did a great job. His business has grown since our initial meeting. So unless it’s serious, he may have to fit you in. He’s reasonable and does a good job. If you need a handyman. Joe is your guy!

Had a few things to fix or put together and found Joe online, so gave him a call. He happened to be 5 minutes away so he came right over and fixed my dishwasher drawer. Also have two garden benches to put together,. and he will come back tomorrow to do that.
He’s young and already professional, seemed like a really nice guy and very efficient. Whew, finding a good handyman is really a task. Glad to have someone nearby.
