L2 Handyman Services

We needed someone to install a kitchen duct so that the microwave exhaust of stove fumes would vent to the outside, and not on the kitchen ceiling. A simple job — but two quotes were $ 650! Then there was Dave somebody, who said he would do the wall cutting and installation for $ 350 — and then was a no-​show! Saw the reviews for L2 on Unilocal and gave them a call. Lawrence was polite and professional and on-​time. He gave a quote range that was fair, and would be determined by the actual hours spent. The L2 workers were on-​time and did the job in a professional way in less than 5 hours. Highly recommended!

I called and spoke with Lawrence about twenty minutes ago and told him that I have a couple of small jobs that needed to be done at a rental property in Redondo Beach. I need to have two faucets changed out one in the kitchen and one in the laundry room, I need the calk replaced on the under mount kitchen sink and new calk put in and worked with a knife to make the proper looking seam and I need a shower head put on. All in all I suspect that the work would be done in under two hours and I was told that he charges $ 85.00 dollars a hour. Then he comes back with a quote of between $ 460. and $ 580. which would be for about 7 hours of work. The old hoses on the sinks are still fine and look really good and I have the calk so all I need is labor. plus the faucets come with hoses so I already have everything. I mentioned that I had already spoke to a plumber about this job and that he wanted $ 250. a fixture and Lawrence laughed because he knows that’s a ridiculous quote from that plumber and I told him that I was in no way stupid enough to pay that and I am telling you here that I am not stupid enough to pay what your asking for such a small job. I think this job would be fair at $ 350. and probably a little over at that but its someone’s time and their service. And just so you know that I know I recently had my kitchen sink and faucet replaced in my home and all of it took the guy under a hour and that’s with the hook up of the garbage disposal and with new counters installed and a new back splash and some ceiling work regarding plaster that happened over a three day period at a cost $ 900. so I do know what things should cost and how much time they should take. Sorry Lawrence but I’m not buying it.
