Eleven services from one licensed California contractor, CSLB #1131330. Furniture assembly, locks, appliance installation and TV mounting sit under handyman services.

Water heaters, drains, faucets, toilets, sinks, water and gas lines. Repairs and replacements from the technician already in your kitchen.

Electrical

Panels, breakers, outlets, lighting, EV chargers and wiring for remodels. Permits through the city building department where they're required.

Holes, cracks, water-stained ceilings and texture that doesn't match. Patched, textured and ready for paint, usually in one visit.

Igor was so fast, efficient, thorough, and professional! He arrived on time and went straight to work. Honestly, I had to scramble to find additional tasks for him because there was a 2 hour minimum and he worked so quickly. I only wish I had been prepared for a few other projects I have coming up because I have no doubt he would have knocked them out in no time! I was astonished by all the little projects he was able to accomplish for us in the span of 3 hours. Highly recommend!

We used them before to have some cabinets removed in our garage. We asked them to return and put two of them back up. They consistently do professional work. They arrived on time and worked quickly. Would definitely request them again.

Lurii is amazing! He’s done 3 projects at my house over the course of the week. Each time, he’s done the job impeccably. He is super knowledgeable, doesn’t use cheap materials, and goes above and beyond to do a great job. I’ll definitely be using Proper Hour Home Service for future plumbing needs.

Alex came on time and aligned the door. I also requested him to check a couple of additional doors which he did after consulting his company. The quote for additional work was done quickly over the phone. I have been using Proper handyman Services for all our handyman needs. They are reliable and provide appointments quickly. I would use their service again.

I hired them to repair a hole in my ceiling caused by an upstairs neighbors leak. They responded quickly and professionally, and offered a fair price. Once they got to my home, they worked quickly and to the highest quality! There was a previous repair in that area from a prior owner that was subpar, and they reinforced the area to make it more durable than it ever was! I very much appreciated having someone I can trust to care about the quality of their work, rather than just doing the minimum! I will be calling them first for any general home construction/contracting work!

I requested an installation service for a set of sliding closet doors. Proper Hour was the first to respond, and provided a great value for the price by bundling both installation and disposal into one fee. Viktor was the handyman who installed the doors for me. He arrived on time, nicely adapted to a small challenge with the measurements and provided a good service overall.

They were very quick to respond to my request. I was offered same day service which was a bonus (but I decided to book following day). Handyman was on time and extremely professional. I will absolutely use them again for other projects. Another bonus was the price charged was what same price they quoted me which was nice.

Excellent and efficient service! Helped with miscellaneous tasks including wall hanging, fixing cabinet doors, bed frame, etc. Punctual appointment setup and visit, satisfied with all the outcomes. Definitely plan to reach out in the future!

Excellent work remodeling my bathroom. I absolutely love it! Vadim and his partner removed the baseboards and retiled the bathroom floor, fixing an underlying dry rot problem, added a new toilet and vanity. It's was difficult due to the old fixtures and parts in the bathroom. They persevered and did a fantastic job. They worked very hard, with great attention to detail and professionalism. I could not recommend them more highly for any bathroom remodel project!

Proper Hour Handyman did a wonderful job repairing three broken tracks for drawers that we had (one in the kitchen and two in the master bathroom). They were also the ONLY service who gave me the best & lowest price! We would absolutely use this service again!

The team helped in remodelling our garage - electrical, insulation, new garage door installation. They did a great job with the work. And our garage looks like brand new.

The guy who did the work was great, no complaints. However, you should make sure the company quotes you by hours or by project. I was sent a price estimate by hour and quote for 4 hours. The project took 2.5 hours and they claimed the quote was fixed, making their price more than 1.5 higher than the price estimate. Edit: the company reached out to offer a refund for the difference in estimation. I am happy with the solution and the effort.

Home Improvement Contractor FAQ

Which home improvement services do you offer in San Jose?

Handyman repairs, plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting, flooring, tile, doors, windows, window screens and attic insulation, plus remodeling and water damage repair on their own pages. All of it from one licensed California contractor, CSLB #1131330.

Where do I book a TV mount or furniture assembly?

Under handyman services. TV mounting, furniture assembly, lock repair and appliance installation are sections of that page rather than pages of their own, and they book the same way: send the list and photos, get the price, pick a day.

Is there anything you don't do?

Our work is inside the house and its attached structures: repairs, finishes, plumbing, electrical and remodeling. Anything on the roof, in the yard or under the slab isn't our trade, and we'll say so and point you to the right specialist.

What does a home improvement visit cost?

You get the price before work begins. Clear jobs are priced from your photos and description; anything that needs a look is priced on site before the technician starts, and you approve any change before it happens.

Will you tell me if something should be replaced instead of repaired?

Yes, before you spend on either. A door that can be rehung, a faucet that only needs a cartridge or a floor that can be relaid gets repaired; when replacement is the cheaper fix over time, the technician says so.

How soon can you start?

We schedule seven days a week, 8am to 8pm, and come the same day when a slot is open. Most jobs across Santa Clara County, Fremont, San Mateo and San Bruno are booked within the week. Still have a question about a repair or upgrade? Send it with the form and we'll answer it before you book.
