Del was great to work with from the get-go. Our project was an XL sun shade install over the deck in our backyard. The sun shade and space is huge (about 30ft by 20ft) so we wanted someone with experience installing sun shades and attaching it to our home.
We pulled a handful of quotes from Thumbtack, Yelp, and the local newspaper. Del’s quote was mid-range but his experience, knowledge, and thought process on the installation process helped us make the decision to choose him for this project. Today is day 1 and so far so good! He is now our go-to handyman for any future projects. :)

Dilbert showed up on time. Performed the task (Several GFI installations). And even went back to do a secondary task same day. A+

Del did a great job installing a replacement sink for one which broke. He arrived on time, had proper tools, worked neatly and efficiently and when he was done checked out my poorly working lock. He fixed that too and it is working more consistently. Although we still don't trust it 100%, our hopes are highland if it stops working again it would be the fault of the design and not his workmanship. He assured us he'd return at no charge if we have issues with either sink or lock. I highly recommend Del for any household challenges of a diy nature which you may face.

Del is a gem. His work was on time and on target, and he was a pleasure to work with. Would recommend him to anyone doing indoor work including light electric, plumbing, carpentry, repairs, and assembly, as well as outdoor work around the yard, big or small.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to be very fair with pricing. I like to show up and get things done. Most of the time things are done in a timely manner.
If work requires more time than what is reasonably expected because of whatever reason I'll explain the reason. There have been times where projects require more time and I've take longer and I'll ask for and negotiate a reasonable flat project price.
Keep in mind that sometimes jobs will require a trip to the hardware store for supplies and materials, either before or during the job.
I do have a 1 hour min. for local work (Oakland) and a 2 hr outside the area. Sometimes a small travel charge is needed to cover such costs.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When contacting a customer I try to get as much information and detail about a project as possible.
I can be flexible scheduling the work and more often that not, most customers are flexible too.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a 4 year college degree. I managed a large family ranch property in Morgan Hill and took care of everything from A to Z, fixed things myself or worked with contractors.
