Handy William

I couldn’t be happier with the job William and his crew did on my ceilings! The plaster was falling off and they replaced it with drywall, as well as repairing and skim-​coating a second room’s ceiling. They did a fabulous job and were super conscientious and lovely to deal with. Highly recommend!

William is terrific. He just completed painting our condo’ and installing new light fixtures. I detailed the tasks and he set to work immediately. I was impressed with his attention to detail and his clear communication throughout the process (he contacted me with some questions as to how I wanted the fixtures to hang which I appreciated). I have no hesitation recommending William and his work — as I am Do it Yourself challenged — I will definitely be using William in the future. Top Notch!

Handy William is great! He installed lighting for pathways to two of my doorways. He was fast and took one day. He set it on a timer and it looks great! They are low LED lights so they conserve energy. He sent me photos immediately. He responded immediately and I actually found him on Unilocal.He was flexible with my schedule and I recommended him to my sister who also had a great experience. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

William is awesome! Professional, polite, friendly, thorough, trustworthy, and attentive to detail and quality. He responded within 24 hours of my contacting him and very patiently listened as I detailed all the dozens of tasks we needed done in our house, from tiny (hanging robe hooks and curtain rods) to large (installing grab bars in the tub & refinishing the deck) — then got me a very professional quote via email within a couple of days.
Though his schedule is busy, there’s a reason: he & his guys are worth the wait — they finished almost everything in half a day, were super thorough, and he even came back to adjust a hook slightly. We will definitely use them again to finish our bigger tasks. And once I was in the schedule, he and his guys showed up at 8 on the dot, and pretty much set right to work. What a load off my shoulders!
There are plenty of handymen in this town, but William stands out for his total professionalism and friendliness. Totally would recommend him and use him again for future tasks. He sticks only to certain area codes — and I’m one of the lucky ones!

Awesome! Quick response, great work and fair prices. William painted our porches, installed bars in our shower and fixed a couple of broken windows. Will definitely call next time we have work to be done. Top notch!

He’s our go-​to guy for anything that needs fixin’! Prompt, professional, FAST, and reasonably priced. Do yourself a favor. Your search has ended!

Wow! Handy William is as good as it gets! Professional, responsive, thorough, accommodating, and exceptional quality of work.
I called him on Monday, he responded the same day. He got me a quote later in the day and squeezed me into his schedule on Thursday of the same week.
I had previously hired another handyman to do a 2-​foot x 2-​foot drywall patch. That person came by twice to work on the patch and made a giant sloppy mess of the wall. Handy William came in and fixed it all up! You can’t even tell anything was ever there. He smoothed it out and matched the paint perfectly. It looks flawless now!
He and his technician, Pasquale, also painted a bedroom for me. There were some small nail holes that needed patching. The paint looks perfect, clean edges, no drips on the floor, he removed the blinds and re-​installed them so the paint is seamless.
Last minute, I also asked him to hang a large painting in a very precarious location (10-​feet above my stairs… not an easy place to put a ladder!). He hung it perfectly and was happy to do it.
I will absolutely be calling Handy William for future jobs. And I would recommend him to anyone.
If I could give 10 stars I would (and I’m VERY particular… I don’t give 5 out often).

I contacted couple of 4+ star handyman services in my area but William was the only one that actually replied. He showed up on time and did an excellent job patching our wall and replacing moldings. I also have some rental properties and called him shortly after our home job for repairs after a water leak and the second time around wasn’t any different. He is by far the best handyman we’ve ever seen. And his prices are very reasonable and he is flexible in working with you.

He is the BEST hands down. Knowledgable and friendly, he will find a way to solve whatever problem you have.

Handy William is the best. Quoted a very good price to build a tricky outdoor staircase and repair a perimeter fence that i thought would have to be replaced. All done in two days — professionally, efficiently and expertly. William is also a very nice fellow, really easy to deal with and have in and around your house.
I thoroughly recommend William for any household job, big or small.

Handy William was professional, punctual and knowledgeable. I had him and his crew extend a electrical outlet and partition a wall. Excellent work and they moved quickly. No time wasted.

Our place need some work done, some work can be done from a contractor/​handy man. I reserhed on Unilocal and found William. We lived very close to his serving area, so I called William this afternoon. He returned my call promptly, ask me questions about the job, and provided professional opinions. So far I am very happy for it. Hope he will be able to do our job. It’s so difficult to find a good contractor/​handy man, I would like to share with ppl if I find a good person. ill keep updates!

Handy William was professional and friendly this morning. He did a great job fixing things around the house, installing blinds and hanging up some bulky wall art. We were surely one of his less complicated jobs.
What I really liked is that he is thorough (yet still quick), explaining little quirks of the house that might affect window blinds hanging properly and things looking straight. He made sure everything looks and feels right. I also like that he knew the terminology of the different parts of the blinds — and likely any other building materials. That really inspires confidence.
He was right on time. I know that scheduling jobs isn’t always easy, and being the first appointment of the day is probably easier to control, but he said he’d be there at 8:00 AM and he was there at 8:00 AM.
Needless to say, our house looks terrific!

How fortunate am I to find my 5-​Star William on Unilocal residing just 2 blocks away?! Never in my years of home improvement have I encountered a handyman/​contractor as knowledgeable, articulate and efficient as William. Oh, and ever so NICE too!
I had a hideous 80’s style gas fireplace with its unusually massive surround attached to the walls and ceiling of my townhouse. Super pro William and his equally competent team arrived promptly, demolished the ugliness and meticulously hauled out the mess (and I am an extreme neat freak!). Of course, every job has an unexpected setback – like discovering an exhaust pipe inside the monster surround. This was not a problem with William for he expertly rerouted the pipe and built a case for it as though it were part of the architecture. Soundproofing drywall panels were then installed on a large common wall adjacent to my neighbor’s. Everything was patched, smoothed, painted to perfection and the entire job completed in just 3 days. My bright new peaceful space is seamless and beautiful.

Today was the second time I’ve employed the services of Handy William, and I’m as happy if not more than before.
He is everything you could ask for in a Handy Man service:
1. good at solving problems
2. accomplishing the mission at hand
3. insightful, effective execution of tricky household problems.
4. professional
5. honest
6. Nice
7. punctual
I highly recommend him to those with small and large tasks. He makes your life easier and with the peace of mind in knowing you are good to go and were treated very fairly and kindly!
Oh, and he is busy, not surprisingly, but will still return your calls/​emails promptly, initial calls/​emails within 1 or 2 days and will go above and beyond to try to fit you into his busy schedule. He fit me in 2 days after a last minute inquiry during the busy holiday season. So, William provides a great service to those, like me, who wait too long to call;)

I owe Handy William a review here. We’ve been hiring William for two years by now. He has done many jobs in my house, as small as fixing a door knob, as big as installing solar vents on my roof. He is a very nice guy and runs his business very professionally. Over the years I’ve confirmed that his quote is reasonable too.
One of the major reasons that I keep hiring him is that it’s super easy to schedule him. He is very busy, but once I tell him what the job is, he’ll always tell me roughly when he can do it. Then he’ll email me a few days earlier to confirm the time to come. When he said he’d come on Wednesday at 8am, he really showed up at my door at 8am. Also he was never picky about what I asked him to do, unlike some other handymen I found here on Unilocal before him. He does good jobs. Nothing needs to be fixed a second time.
Handy William has a very gentle, friendly, and polite manner. When he’s working in the house, it never felt loud or intrusive. He always takes off his boots at the door, picks them up, walks across my living room, put the boots back on, and then goes to the backyard – it doesn’t matter how many times he has to do this. And he always cleans up every bit of the mess after his work. One time he saw that he left some saw dust on my driveway when he was pulling his van out. I actually didn’t care, but he insisted on staying and cleaned everything.
His workers are the most polite workers that I’ve met over the years too. We are pleased with his service.

Very happy with the service. William got back to us quickly, explained his schedule and slotted us in when he could. He showed up when he said, called before he arrived, did the work we asked and charged us what he said he would.
Hard to imagine, but all of these things together at once are some kind of miracle these days. Recommended!

What a super nice guy he called me 3 times until he got me on the phone. He told me he could not cover my job because it was out of his area.
I appreciated his honest and he even recommended another company on Unilocal that could help me out.
Thanks William

I messaged him just after 5 pm, because I knew from Unilocal that he closes at 5, telling him where I lived and what I needed done… I was very impressed by the fact that he texted me back within 15 minutes to say that he is so busy that he is only accepting work in the Silverlake area and he gave me the name of someone in my area.
I cannot speak to his work, but if you live in the Silverlake area — this is your man! Lucky you…

Trust me believe the hype, William is the real deal. I reached out to William a few weeks ago about a ceiling issue some of my knuckle head contractors told me not to worry about. Turns out my crooked ceiling was way more crooked than we all thought. I couldn’t let it go and set out to find someone that knew how to level out drywall or had the skill set to redo my ceiling. The nightmare was that the cabinets and all the new stuff was already installed so now they had to work around it.
First person I met was William and he gave me the price and told me how long it would take. Sounded to good to be true, but I wanted to do my due diligence, I am a lawyer after all. I asked him 100 questions and he answered all without complaining. But I still wanted to see what other contractors said. I got different answers for all of them and once they find out I am a lawyer, they would pull bait and switches on me and tell me the only way to do it was blah blah blah. Bull crap, finally circled back around to William and he knocked it out in 2 freakin days with his boys. I am so freakin happy man, I can’t tell you the joy in my heart. This was a nightmare that was keeping me up at night and now I can rest easy. The leveled out the ceiling by adding some rip strips and drywall making it freakin amazing. Here is what they did a before and after so you can see the difficulty of it. Not an easy job with this super crooked ceiling.
If I could give him 6 stars I would, he is highly rated because he is legit. Whether you need an handy man or tougher construction type jobs, he is definitely a solid dude that does the work he promises. He will be in business a long time by doing this. Thank you so much william, you really came through as promised!
