History

Established in 1994.

I started out very young with my trade. I was fortunate in that my high school offered a trades and industrial program to help me in the fundamentals of basic construction. Even before I started high school though, I took a basic electrical wiring program offered during the summer time, where I learned quite a bit about basic wiring. I went on from high school to work for electrical contractors, carpenters and then I worked 5 years for the Los Angeles Country club, where I did all sorts of repairs dealing with electrical, plumbing and carpentry. I finally decided to strike out on my own in 1994 and haven’t looked back since.

Meet the Business Owner

Steve L.

Business Owner

I’ve been in business now for almost 20 years. I find it very rewarding to help people maintain their homes and to help them make a home out of a new house they’ve just purchased. It has also been my distinct privilege to help my clients save money by dispelling false information that they were giving from other tradesmen that were telling them that they needed to replace things in their home that could otherwise be easily repaired. I pride myself on being very honest with my clients, even if that means passing on a job that I feel is a bit out of my realm of expertise. Which brings me to two last things: 1) I do all the work myself, unless I need a helper. 2) If I feel that I’m not best suited for the job at hand, I have excellent and reliable tradesmen that I refer. For me, it’s all about getting the job done right. Just FYI, I am not a licensed contractor

Steve was a bit hard to read initially, do to the whole communication via email thing which limited me in my assessment of him. We finally spoke and even though he was a bit on the costly side I agreed to allow him to repair and replace the threshold in one of my units. I do get why he doesn’t contact you until later in the day is the simple fact that he’s WORKING and wishes not to be distracted while do so, I wish he could teach others that skill. Steve showed at the agreed upon time worked at a steady pace once we had all the supplies required to start and complete the job, he did however have to borrow a few of my tools to complete the job, I did actually ask him to adjust his price for that reason, but It didn’t work I still had to PAY! I must say that his work ethic and meticulous attention to detail were impressive. I needed him in a pinch and he was there, I did have other jobs for Steve but unfortunately he was out of my price range for the length of time I would need him. In closing he’s good at what he does and I would recommend him for most jobs in his skill set, they do say you get what you pay for!
Thanks!

I concur with every other 5 star review. Steve is a great craftsman, very detailed oriented and never seems to get stumped for an answer to your problem. He installed a pretty complicated kitchen faucet and garbage disposal as well as replace a lot of rotted wouud under the counter and caulked everything. A beautiful job. He’s very easy to work with and he’s a great value since he’s conscious of the clock. He’s the first guy I would call for just about any household repair.

Update: Similar to the other Handyman and as the other negative reviewer here indicated (there are only two of us in two years), he contacted me after the review (today) via email. Unlike the other handyman who came up with a bunch of excuses, he accepted full responsibility and the email did in fact seem sincere in his inferring that the incident was the exception and not his norm. If my experience was the exception and he is normally responsible, that’s great. Unfortunately for me the damage was done and I’ve found someone to do the work, but I do respect anyone who admits their mistake if it’s real. So on that note, I raised it a star.

Steve is the last guy you’ll need to call to finally fix that thing that keeps breaking or malfunctioning. He’s thorough and creative in his approach to figuring our what’s wrong and then remedying the problem. He’s adept at plumbing and electrical systems, as well as carpentry. He cleverly fixed: a gate whose latch kept coming loose (now my dog won’t escape); an awkwardly angled exhaust pipe for the clothes dryer; my front door bell; a sliding glass door that wouldn’t slide; and realigned heavy cabinet and closet doors to perfection. I have a long list of things for him to work on the next time he’s here. It’s great to have someone I can dependably rely on who will get the job done and charge me fairly for his work.

I was home with my left hand in a cast and had a number of different fix-​it issues, from broken cabinet drawers to clogged bathroom drains and blown light-​bulbs in a couple of finicky wall washer lamps. Steve fixed it all and made the drawers better than new. He arrived on time, worked efficiently and professionally and his fees were just as quoted. It don’t get much better than that! And … he’s a very nice guy.

Steve was very professional and a great listener to my needs. His duties were:
Remove vertical blinds from 3 windows
Fill in the holes
Put up rods and curtains on 2 windows
Put up cloth blinds on 1 window
In addition, he filled in holes on 2 other windows that the hubby and I had tackled on our own.
He completed this under 3 hours and did a great job! He asked if I had paint so he could touch up and mentioned another issue on the windows. He pays attention to detail and is ready and willing to go above and beyond the list of duties. I would definitely hire him again.

Steve is rock star. What I thought was a simple microwave removal and install of a new unit was rough. He and I worked through the unforeseen challenges and he worked miracles.
He’s good at what he does, communicates well on timing and expectation and very fairly priced.. Plus, he cleans up the mess left behind from his projects.
I would recommend him for any your household projects. Thanks again, Steve.

I had Steve take care of a drywall repair in one of my closets, up on a ceiling. Ordinarily I try to take care of these sort of things myself, but since the repair was needed in such an awkward spot I decided to leave it to a professional.
Steve was quick to respond to my emails and calls, he showed up on time, and he took care of the repair exactly how I asked him to. To make it all the better, Steve’s pricing was very affordable.
I wouldn’t hesitate to give him a call if I needed any other work done around my home, and I’ve already recommended him to a family member.

Steve did a fantastic job with a variety of repair work I had for him! In just one day he was able to:
— Re-​caulk my kitchen and bathroom granite countertops
— Repair a broken kitchen cabinet door
— Replace and install a new kitchen faucet
— Fixed a leak under my kitchen sink that he had discovered before installing my new faucet
— Touched up and re-​textured one of my bathroom walls
Steve was very courteous and professional. He always consulted with me prior to doing anything and always offered his professional advice. His rates are also very reasonable.
I absolutely recommend Steve!

Nice guy. Hired for a wall heater repair, came back multiple times to make sure he got it right but most importantly, it’s still working after the last! Did other small jobs while he was here. Open about what he believes he can and can’t do. Fair with pricing. Would hire again. Thanks

Steve helped us with a huge list of projects and exceeded all expectations with quality & price. I was not so lucky with the two other fix it places I called. Glad I found Steve on Unilocal.Quality work!

Steve quickly fixed an issue with a decades old bathroom fan. He could have told us we needed a whole new installation, which would have cost hundreds, but instead he just bought a few parts and fixed it himself, saving us time and money.

Steve just finished a job for me over the weekend tackling 3 projects: Hanging a 6′ shelf, fixing a broken light fixture and re-​hanging a door. The shelf proved trickier than we expected since our walls were actually bowed a bit (!!!) but Steve came up with solutions and kept us in the loop at every turn about our options. Even with that surprise setback he completed all three tasks quickly. In addition to that he gave me some great advice on where to get a glass table top cut and getting a door shoe to help insulate another room. I will definitely be calling Steve in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, knowledgeable and very helpful handyman!

Steve did an excellent job with everything I requested. Provided options and estimated costs for each item. Very reasonable bill. I would definitely recommend him to others and will use his services in the future.

We were extremely happy with the work that Steve did at our home. He worked at our house for around six hours non-​stop, and did a great job with everything, which included repairs and installations on the inside and outside of my home. Steve is detailed-​oriented and precise. He gave us various options for each installation/​repair, pointing out the pros and cons for each option. We appreciated Steve’s knowledge, precision, and hard work, and the fine results, and we highly recommend him.

Based on great Unilocal reviews and a friendly website, I contacted Steve to do (or at least get a quote on) a small tile installation. He was initially quite responsive to my queries, and he reasonably asked for a photograph of the work to be done and that I have the tile before he scheduled the job. Once I purchased the tile (2 days later), I informed him that we had it. I assumed after that that setting up a time for him to do the job would be easy.
Instead of simply informing me that he wasn’t interested in (or couldn’t do) this job, he simply didn’t bother to respond to my last email. On August 13, weeks after my final email to him and only after I posted this review, he contacted me to apologize for his unprofessionalism. In the process he whined about how difficult it is to be a one-​man operation, and he blamed me for not following up with emails when I had not heard from him. He then asked me to remove this review.
Given his unprofessional behavior, which directly contradicts the Christian values he espouses on his website, I would never attempt to hire him again.

I had a very good experience with Steve. He installed two hand rails and 4 grab bars for me. One was in travertine. He did a great job and the price was good for this area. Later, he mailed me back $ 40 because he said he overcharged me. Wow. My only complaint is that he arrived 45 mins. late and didn’t call/​text me. Not a big deal, but a text would be nice. Nonetheless, I’m keeping him on speed dial for my rental unit in Brentwood.
