    • Q:

      Has Pete installed a ceiling fan and how much did it cost? I have an existing chandelier that looks like an ideal spot for a ceiling fan/lamp.

      A:

      Hi Charly. Yes I install fans. The cost depends upon whether there is electric service to the location you want the fan installed among other things. Give me a call and I can give you an estimate. 707 419-9962. Pete

      I've been meaning to leave this review but just now got around to it!

      Our bathroom light switch was non operable so I reached out to Pete through Yelp to troubleshoot it. Pete was very responsive and set up an appointment and came on time. He was very efficient and was in and out in less than 5 minutes and that includes going back to his vehicle to retrieve a spare light switch!

      The reason I'm leaving 4 stars is because I felt $125 was a bit steep for a simple light switch replacement and the 5 minutes of time spent doing it.

      I believe he is no longer servicing the Solano area but would hire him again if I needed services for handy work.

      Pete is AMAZING! Not only did I get on his calendar right away, he was very punctual which is a huge plus in my book. He replaced an old light fixture and changed out the bulbs for my sensor lights above my garage. We have another date in the very near future. I'm very appreciative! - Ms.

      3/30 - Pete has done it again! My new porch light looks fantastic. Thanks so much Pete. I'll see you soon.

      He did EXCELLENT work for us. I had broken ceiling fan and he replaced with care and provided an extra piece that was missing. Pete Handyman is the best! He is knowledgeable, friendly and professional!. I will definitely call Pete for more future projects. Thank you Pete!

      I had a broken closet that needed a handyman. I requested a quote & he responded within 10 min & it was very reasonable so I set up a time within the week. I was happily surprised he was able to get back to me so quickly & fit us in! He took a look at the closet, went to the hardware store, came back & completed the project after about 4h, which was fast! He did an excellent job & is reliable & easy to work with. We were so impressed we made a list of other handyman projects that we will be calling Pete for!

      First to Review

      We've had Pete come out four times now and needless to say we are beyond satisfied with his punctuality, professionalism and quality of work. He responded quickly to text messages, was on time all four times, was friendly to my two young girls and always had a good attitude. So much so that I was surprised when my 1 year old walked up to him without me next to her. He works swiftly and what he charges is definitely reasonable. I should add that every one of those four visits he had at minimum 6 projects each time and was here for 3+ hours.

      The last "handyman" that we found from Amazon Home Services left our laundry room incomplete and never answered his phone or came back. Most of his work was a hack job and it was also the first job for Pete to tackle. He took it in stride and finished the job the other guy should never have started.

      Off the top of my head things we had addressed:

      - Laundry room including base cabinets, base sink, wall repair, sink repair. Not to mention a handful of mistakes he had to fix from the last guy.
      - Added outlets in a few key locations around the house and garage.
      - Replaced at least half a dozen can lights with LED lighting.
      - Installed a Ring floodlight on the front of our house, requiring conduit to be run through the garage and feed wiring through the wall to the outside.
      - Two flood lights, two dusk to dawn porch lights.
      - Chicken wire in the eve to help our Bougainvillea plant go over the archway.
      - Added a gate anti-slam clasp and a foot anchor for our side gate.
      - Increased the water flow of both toilets so that they didn't clog every other day due to the hardware inside the tank.

      I know there's more but you get the idea. I should also note that he won't take on a job just to do it if he feels someone else would be better, such as HVAC questions with zoning the house. I say this because the last guy we had should have told us the laundry room job was too much for him, instead he took it on when he probably wasn't experienced enough in the first place.

      It's really about trust and transparency and that's what you're getting here. Bottom line, I trusted Pete and his work and will happily call him again in the future.

      Pete gave me the best price quote a customer will ever have. He came by first thing the next day, friendly and professional and even took his time to drive and buy the parts needed for the project. And just like that he finished all my 4 pendant lights fast and excellently done. The world is better if Pete around. Thank you Pete!

      Pete showed up on time, was neat, clean and friendly. Pete did a great job of mounting multiple drapery rods in many rooms. Really appreciate what he did for us and will call him again for the next home project.
