The Trades Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

After a decade producing events and a covid lockdown, I've seen a need for dependable Handymen in the San Diego Area. We have a group of amazingly talented Handymen who are solutions oriented and are people you wouldn't mind having do some work in your house. Go to www.hugehandymansd.com to book and appointment or get a quote.

We are a collective of experienced, reliable, and solutions-based handymen. San Diego is full of great handymen, but where do you find them? And how do you get them to show up when they say they will? After working on a smaller scale, we decided to solve this problem. We vet the handymen, guarantee their quality of work, and INSURE everyone under a California contractor’s license. Even better, we only do small to medium sized jobs so we don’t get committed to long projects and can meet your needs in a reasonable time frame (and price!). Our friendly staff will make you feel comfortable with us in your space, and most pets like us too!

Dependability: We are committed to being the reliable choice for all your handyman needs, ensuring that we show up when promised and deliver quality work every time.

Communication: Open and transparent communication is at the heart of what we do. We keep you informed every step of the way, from project assessment to completion. If we deem a project is out of our wheel house, we have great referrals for you as well!

Customer-Centric Approach: Your satisfaction is our priority. We tailor our services to meet your unique needs and strive to exceed your expectations with every project. Not every project goes as planned, but we will do whatever it takes for a 5 star experience. 

In an industry where unreliability is the norm, we stand as a beacon of dependability. Our unwavering commitment is to deliver not just quality work, but a service experience marked by reliability, trustworthiness, and a departure from the stereotypical 'flakey' handyman. We aim to be the reliable partner you can consistently count on for all your residential and commercial needs, providing a level of service that instills confidence and sets a new standard of excellence in the industry.

YOU KNOW YOU'RE HEARD.
We listen to what you like and why you want it. If it's too costly, we'll offer you a couple of alternatives to choose from. We treat the design and build as a collaborative process.

WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK.
This may be the first renovation project you've gone through. But you can relax, as we'll be there with you every step of the way. We'll let you know what to expect and how much it will cost before any building begins.

WE DON'T SELL, WE EDUCATE.
We're never going to lay a heavy sales trip on you. Instead, we'll listen to you, and then offer some suggestions at a variety of price points. The final decision is up to you. No upselling and we are not change order driven.

WE WORK WITH YOUR BUDGET.
There aren't going to be any surprises at the end of your project. Sure, you might fall in love with a tile that is a little beyond your budget. But we'll let you know and even try to make up for it in other portions of the project.

WE BELIEVE IN ONE-ON-ONE RELATIONSHIPS.
You'll have the same architect, interior designer, and project manager for the duration of your project. That way, they know every detail of your project, and the reasons why certain choices were made. This provides you with a more proactive service and greater continuity. You are backed by Gregg Cantor and Rachel Cantor, the 3rd and 4th generations in the family business.

YOU BENEFIT FROM OUR EXPERIENCE.
Since we were established in 1975, we've learned a thing or two along the way. We can usually spot a situation before it becomes a costly problem, and we are always considerate of our clients budget.
