A1 Handyman

I was so impressed on how fast Jeff was able to come out. I had sheet rock repair and texture done. The work was great and they were fast and clean. The bonus was the great price he charged for the work. I will use Jeff on all my repairs.

I am not a handy guy around the house or for our car. It is something that I readily admit and don’t cover up. We all have our strengths and opportunities and this is an opportunity area for me. There exists this brave unknown in regards to handymen to do jobs in and around the house. So with a leap of faith and some review checking on Unilocal,I had my father call A1 Handyman for a leaky outdoor facet. With it being a late Friday afternoon, I thought that we’ll get a voice mail or an appointment next week. My dad bounced into my office and said that Dino and the team would be here in about 30 mins. Wow. Impressed. Dino and the team came and unfortunately we had to have the guys crawl under the house to diagnose the leaky outdoor facet. We huddled around the facet and discussed the options. I know, most of you are thinking, «here’s where they get you to turn over the wallet » Nothing is further from the truth. A1 handyman and their guys are more concerned about doing what’s right for the best price. We could have decided to fix the pipe under the house, which thanks to the builders 11 years ago is an in a difficult location or we could simply cap it off completely. The price for either was very affordable. We decided to cap the pipe underneath since we use that facet outdoors maybe two or three times a year to fill the kiddie pool for our husky. I would totally recommend A1 handyman for jobs around and outside the house that can’t be tackled by yourself. Lastly, Dino and the other guys are polite, professional and there NO issues in regards to their character. I trust these guys in my house and to do work on my house.
Thanks !

I had just moved here from CA and found that our garbage disposal was not functional. I of course came to Unilocal to look for a plumber and found A1 Handyman. I called and Jeff was at my house the same day with a new unit. The install was quick and clean and Jeff is a real great guy.
There are no negatives here, just give them a call for all your handyman needs and know you are getting superior service. We will be using A1 for all our needs moving forward. Thank you Jeff!

Totally happy. Had smoke alarm chirping and they came out that night in Meridian to change it for me on our vaulted ceiling! Not expensive and very reasonable. They could have taken advantage of the immediate nature of the situation, but they didn’t. THANK YOU SO MUCH, DINO AND JEFF!

Wow — I would give double the stars if I could. Jeff showed up within 24 hours when I called and my front door was falling off the hinges. Then, once again, I had blinds that suddenly needed to be installed when unexpected company was arriving. He added me to the end of his day to ensure my guests had the privacy they needed. Quality of work was fantastic, and I can’t say enough about this firm’s willingness to accommodate my needs.

We called A1 in desperate need of someone coming to our home that day. We had started installing a fan on our own and it was not working out! He answered and came that evening (we called at 3:30pm on a Sunday! and he still came that day!) He got it taken care of for a pretty competitive price (Lowes had quoted us the same price when we bought the fans but couldn’t schedule it for several days out) We had him come back later in the week to put in another fan, same great job. We told him about a buzzing noise (it sounded like a motor or something) in the fan in the first room. He took a look and found the motor wasn’t good (factory style defect, not installation issue) so we took it back to Lowes and got a new one, he came back a third time free of charge and installed the new motor. This guy (the owner btw) was great. He also called before he came and was on time every time (seriously appreciate that with a small child, planning is a good thing around here) We will hire him again anytime we need anything done. Friendly, fair, good work, what more can you ask for?

I contacted Jeff with A1 Handyman to work on a few electrical/​plumbing issues that needed to be addressed. He answered every phone call and did what he said he would. Very helpful in explaining issues and how he was going to resolve them. Very quick to schedule and got the work done very efficiently. Will be using him again in the future and definitely recommend him.

The owner has responded to my reviews, and I don’t know how else to put it: he’s lying, about several things. I have no reason to fabricate my review. What would I gain? However, he has a very real incentive to attempt to discredit it because he wants people to hire him.
I could dispute what he says line by line, but I’ll let my previous reviews stand for me. They’re the truth.
However, since seeing his dishonest attempt to spin things, I Googled the owner’s name to check him out. While I feel it’s unfair to post here what I discovered, for anyone who cares to go digging for themselves, just start by searching his name and state. The results speak volumes about his character. I was sick to my stomach that, but for stupid, blind luck, I’d have brought him in my home where I have children.
I’m making it a policy to Google potential repair people from now on. Lesson learned.

I’m a new Idahoan, just moving here from California 2 weeks ago. I know not a soul to get references from and rather than learn the hard way I resort to Unilocal (as I always have in the past) to find the best. That’s how I found Jeff (A1 Handyman). With these sterling reviews, how could I not call him?
Anyway, the prior owners didn’t leave my new home in the greatest condition. I had a bathroom light switch making a shorting noise, a running toilet, and a busted security bar. Jeff answered his phone right away, told me that he could be there in 2 hours, arrived as he said he would. The bathroom switch turned out to be a spark (yikes). He replaced that, adjusted the toilet and repaired the security bar within an hour.
Being new in town, I feel really blessed to have found such a reliable service and definitely plan to use Jeff again. Thank you, Jeff!

I contacted A1 for some quotes on a couple projects. They responded quickly and were out the next day. The explanation of the scope of the projects, timeline, and process was excellent, detailed, and honest. Am not engaging in the projects now (they appear to be bigger than I expected), but I will definitely use A1 for all size projects in the future.

I have been working with A1 and Jeff for over 6 months now and I can only say great things. Jeff is extremely reliable and responsive. I have had a plumbing emergency and Jeff made it to my home within 5 minutes while a clogged drain backed water up into my home. Jeff stopped the water and did a clean up so fast (4 inches deep) that nothing was even damaged!
He had handled electrical, plumbing, general maintenance, and just about everything else we need. He is honest and priced very fairly, and takes the time to explain what’s going on and what your options are before he performs and repairs.
I would never work with another handyman again! A1 all the way…

I had a 70 inch HDTV hung on my living room wall. The bracket was complicated to allow for full articulation. Jeff and Dino took extra care to get it exactly right. All the wires are hidden and I am thrilled with the result. They show up on time, use care to do the job properly and clean up all debris. The price was very fair for the amount of work involved. I will call Jeff again for any household tasks needing skill and top quality work.

Jeff and his team did a great job assembling a trailer we had purchased. They were on time, professional, took care to do the job accurately AND he charged me the quoted price… even though it took him longer than expected! I’m going to have him back to install two ceiling fans as well.

Very price reasonable. Very friendly and professional. I had a hole in the wall and Jeff fixed it. He was able to match the finish on my wall perfectly. Job very well done.

Nice job. I hired Jeff in an emergency after a windstorm had knocked the gate to the fence off its hinges. He contacted my tenants and did a killer job remending what there was left of the gate and fence. I think it was like 95 bucks and he did it super fast. Thanks for a great speedy job. I did this over the phone from California.

I was very impressed by the quick response, professionalism and affordable price. Great attention to detail and my problem was resolved very quickly.

Very friendly and professional. I will absolutely use his services again. Great prices as well!
