About
It makes my day if I can fix someones problem. I will ALWAYS show up and won't quit until your task is done. I have a partnership with 3 other Marin based Handymen, which insures that we are bringing the right skills to the job. I have always been mechanically inclined. I was fixing things in my parents house from the age of 9 on. I have owned several fixer uppers and turned them into great homes! I enjoy the challenge of both diagnosing the problem and then creating a fix.

Ralph was wonderful! He responded quickly to messages, was punctual, and easy to work with! He installed two sets of floating shelves, a large mirror, a ceiling light, and closet mirrors. I would definitely hire him again!

He was 15 minutes late but notified me. He had to remove screws he made in the wall because it was too close to the other piece. He worked quickly and was done within 2 hrs as I had predicted the job would take.

Details: 2 - 5 hours (A few different projects) • Installation • Bedroom • Home

Ralph did an amazing job putting together a complicated portable AC even showing us we actually have an option to easily detach the hose to store when not in use. What a relief we can do this. He was on time, detail oriented, professional, smart and trustworthy. Will hire again. Recommend highly!

Gave the estimate and fixed all three gates (would not close easily) with nice tricks ...not simply resetting the hinges, though he did that when needed, too. Done quickly and professionally.
