Handyman by Randall

After reading all of Randall’s reviews I was encouraged to contact him. My iniital phone call went well and at his convenience an appointment was set up 4 days later for him to view the work. When that day rolled around I called him about 2 hours before he was due to arrive to confirm our apppointment. He acted like he had forgotten all about the appointment. He said that he was working late on a project but hesitantly agreed to keep the appointment with us. I got the impression that if I had not called, he would not have showed up. Our meeting with him went well and he seemed pleasant and competant. We agreed on all of the projects that needed to be done and a «start date» was set up for the following week. He stated that the projects we needed done would likely take him about 3 days to complete and he would start on a Thursday. In preperation for his arrival we cleared our schedules for those days and got things ready for him. He told us to expect him at 8:30 — 9:00 AM… we woke up early and waited for his arrival… no show! I began calling him at 9:30 and called him 4 times that day. My phone messages were polite just asking him to let me know if he was still planning to come or if he needed to change or cancel and to please return my call. My final call to him that day was to state that we hoped that he still was interested in doing the project and perhaps we could begin the following day and finish up one day the following week. He never showed up and never returned my calls. I have no idea what happened and why he didn’t show up or even take a minute to returm ny call. Given his poor customer service and being so inconsiderate to not ever return a call from us… I would not suggest using his services.

I moved here a year a go and moved into a home that needed a lot of tlc. Due to mold it was gutted to the studs and joyce’s I was new to the area and was desperate to get the job done and move in. Along this journey I ran into a nightmare of people that left half way through the job and did many things wrong and they had to be redone. I had lost my faith in handy men period. Then I heard about Randy and decided to give him a chance. He never let me down. Reassuring me all the way he would not walk out and charge me for the work he is doing not in advance. I am gratefull he came along and fixed things and finished this huge job. There didn’t seem to be anything to big for him. He has vast knowledge and doesn’t seem to be much he can’t tackle. He is fast and does it correctly he also had great vision as to what needed to be done. He can be left alone and gets the job done. He is trustworthy, fair and pleasant to deal with, punctual. Always the polite southern gentleman. He did a bench, panels in my living room to hide my t.v. (from a designer magazine), shelves, fence, landscaping, hanged paintings & blinds. Fixed plumbing, picked up wood chips from he dump and put them out. Moved electrical outlet. Fixed my garage door. and on and on. There is only one Randy!

I hired Randy to do some work at my house. He came out on time, did the work quickly, and more importantly, properly. He does great work, knows his stuff. I would definitely hire him again for any projects I have!

When I read the other reviews I thought «hey» here sounds like a good guy that’s on the ball. I had a project I needed done and I contacted Randy and he said he was interested in doing it. We set up a meeting time and he never showed up. I called him later and he said he had forgot and just went home from another job. He didn’t say he was sorry about forgetting and was very nonchalant about it. I asked him if he was really interested in doing the project or not. He said «yes» so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. We scheduled another meeting for the next day. I asked him to please call me if something came up and he couldn’t make it and he said he would. Well, again a no show and no phone call. Maybe he’ll be good for your job if he decides to show up?

Randy has been doing tons of work for my mother and she couldn’t be happier. He works by the hour, and DOES NOT lolly gag. He gets thru jobs fast and does the job well.

handyrandy– hired 3 times by the company i work for. he is honest, fast and hardworking.

Randall has been my handyman for my rental property for nearly ten years and I
have no complaints. My tenants love… love him! He has done a variety of work,
too numerous to list. Very Punctual and fair priced. Just give him a call, you won’t regret it!

I recently moved to the Monterey area and needed a handyman. I looked through Unilocal and couldn’t find anyone that was highly rated. I ended up calling a contractor listed on Unilocal with a five star review from a broker. He arrived to give me an estimate for the job dripping with sweat from another job, and a bit smelly to be honest. He still hasn’t given me his estimate a week after he came to the house.
I then found Randy Emmons who did a wonderful job installing some flooring for me in 2 bathrooms. He moved toilets and sinks and even repaired some issues that I was having with them. I called him back that same week to install a new door slab, lock set and then a pet door. He did a perfect job at that too.
Notably, he’s honest — I gave him cash to buy things, he brought back change with receipts. He also ran to Home Depot to pick up the door slab and lock set since I couldn’t fit it in my car. He was easy to have around the house — nice, easy going guy. He has his own tools and appears to be competent in a wide range of things.
So I highly recommend his work and will be using him from here on out.
