About
When you hire me, you’re not just getting a handyman — you’re hiring a problem-solver. I take pride in finishing every job I start and finding solutions for even the toughest challenges. I understand the importance of your home, and I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is to leave every space better than I found it, ensuring you feel confident and comfortable with the work I do. With years of experience across multiple trades, including carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work, I bring a unique skill set that allows me to handle everything myself. You won’t need to coordinate with multiple contractors — I’ll take care of it all. No outsourcing, no middlemen — just honest, high-quality work from someone who’s committed to getting the job done right. When you hire me, you’re not just hiring a handyman. You’re hiring reliability, expertise, and someone who truly cares about your home.

Mel is hands down the best handyman in San Diego. We had a long laundry list of projects to be completed, all needing different skillsets and Mel took care of every last one of them. We will be using his services for additional projects and highly recommend him…10 out of 10! Before and after photos attached for some of the projects Mel knocked out.

We hired Mel to remodel our bathroom, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! He replaced our vanity, installed new lights, and redid the bath tiles—all in one go. It was such a relief to have one skilled handyman handle everything rather than dealing with multiple tradesmen coming and going. Mel gave us a great offer, stuck to the plan without any surprises, and showed incredible trade skills throughout the process. The work was top-notch, and my husband and I are so glad we chose him for the job. Highly recommend Mel for any home project—you won’t regret it!
