Sean Clarke Handyman San Clemente- Unlicensed Contractor

Sean Clarke is nothing like your average handyman and at first seems a bit too cerebral. He showed up, put on a white one-piece oversuit (think Orkin man) and conducted a comprehensive review of the jobsite. I think I heard the wheels turning in his head. Most handymen just look, say Sure no problem and then proceed to do the work in varying stages of competence. Not Sean. He took the time to show me the options, the obstacles and the best solutions (based on time and materials)â ¦making sure I thoroughly understood what was needed. Honestly, I thought he was a nerd BUT, that all changed once he started. The guy came prepared. This was not a glamorous job it was kinda brutal. My roof had just been replaced and there were all kinds of places where rodents could enter and a few holes big enough for a cat or raccoon. The work space was hot, tight and uncomfortable. The nerd did not mind, he put on his knee pads, sprayed his shirt with water from a spray bottle, plugged in a light and fan and went to work. He did not stop until every access point was completely sealed, using a combination of wood, tight metal mesh, nails and that expanding foam stuff to close every little open space. He was done much sooner than expected. And that is when I realized he was not a nerd, he is a thinking man who entered the attic with everything he needed (tools, materials, cold water, etc.) to knock out the job as quickly as possible. I will admit I got a bit claustrophobic when I went up there to inspect his work but sonuvagun, he secured the whole damn attic. He was all smiles, clearly taking pride in his work and I was happy to write his check (for an amount that was more than reasonable). When he first arrived and started pointing out all the logistical stuff, I nearly sent him away thinking, He is gonna charge me an arm and a leg but Sean was just being very direct, making sure I fully understood the challenges and his recommendations which is why I am now writing this review minutes after he left. Look, I own and run 4 businesses, work 100+hrs a week, dont get enough sleep and dont have time to write detailed reviews. My eyes are so baggy they could hold a ten-day rain. You gotta be exceptionally great or horribly awful to get a review outta me and Sean Clarke has earned this. He sets the customer care bar so high, other handymen need to charter a plane just to see it. Hes nothing like other handymen and trust me that is what you want. We will be using his service regularly in the future.

Arrived when promised; performed meticulous backsplash wall surface preparation; carefully and perfectly installed replacement tiles. Very satisfied with the results.

I was initially not happy with his work. Although he was intent on correcting my displeasure and was intent on making it right.....So, i will not use him again, although, he does show concern in making it right. I am now satisfied with his work.

Fast, great communication, honest price, he helped my 82 year old mother-in-law and I would definitely use Sean in the future

Very responsive. Will stay till the job is done. We’ll use Sean Clarke again in the future

he spent an extra hour than he thought it would take and didn't charge me extra. I just tipped Sean for not charging extra.

Sean is an outstanding handyman, so knowledgeable and friendly. He explained everything. Price was very fair. Work was way better than I thought!!! I didn't even know modern products could achieve such results (e.g. wall texture, stain removal etc). I will definitely hire him for my remaining projects.

Sean was very knowledgeable and explained each step of the process. He was very professional and I would definitely hire him again.

Sean Clark does excellent work. He is very meticulous and dedicated to completing the job correctly. His prices are very reasonable. Thank you very much.

Handyman did not seem to know the job or drugged out the time to earn $65 which could have been less!
