20+ Years of Trusted Handyman Service in San Francisco

JL Handyman started with one truck, one toolbox, and a simple rule: show up when you say you will. Two decades later that rule still runs the business.

We take the repairs most contractors are too booked to touch. Drywall that needs patching before a walkthrough, a bedroom fan that never got installed, an exterior that has gone three summers without paint. One crew, one invoice, no subcontractor runaround.

  • Licensed and fully insured in California
  • Upfront pricing before any work starts
  • Arrival windows we actually keep
  • Clean job site at the end of every visit
  • Same-day slots for urgent repairs
  • One-year workmanship warranty

Frequently Asked Questions

All of San Francisco proper, including the Mission, Sunset, Richmond, Noe Valley, Bernal Heights, SoMa, and the Marina. If you are just outside city limits, call and we will tell you honestly whether we can get to you.

Estimates are free. Small repairs are quoted as a flat rate once we see the job; larger work such as drywall hanging or a full exterior repaint is quoted by scope. You get the number in writing before any tool comes out of the truck.

Yes. JL Handyman carries California licensing and general liability insurance. We are happy to send proof of both before the first visit, and property managers can request it on file.

Most jobs are booked within two to three business days. We hold same-day slots each morning for urgent repairs, so call early if something needs attention today.

We take urgent calls during business hours, Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Water damage, a dead circuit, or a hole that needs closing before a showing all qualify. For a gas leak or live wire hazard, call your utility first.

Every job carries a one-year workmanship warranty. If a patch cracks, a fixture loosens, or a finish fails because of how we installed it, we return and fix it at no charge.

Clear access to the work area, a parking suggestion if your block is tight, and any paint codes or fixture models you already own. That is usually enough to keep the visit to a single trip.

Free estimates on every job

Twenty years in San Francisco. Licensed, insured, and back if anything is not right.
