Smart & Handy has the knowledge and craftsmanship to handle our clients' needs, from a simple picture hanging through to a full remodel. Our philosophy is to use a professional, "common-sense" approach to every job we take on. Dave Gould, Smart & Handy's owner, grew up in the business world and made sure to learn all he could. His experience with several family businesses up through Fortune 500 companies has shown Dave the most effective business practices, which he uses in running Smart & Handy. Dave understands what it takes to build and maintain a successful business and therefore has high expectations of his employees and subcontractors, with whom he has had long-standing relationships. He personally manages the general contracting projects from start to finish, using his skills in communicating effectively with clients to ensure the finished project is exactly to their specifications. Every employee of Smart & Handy, including the owners, uphold a high level of professionalism, build lasting relationships and always ensure client satisfaction.

Testimonials

Top notch service! We wanted to remove a wall between our kitchen & living room. Dave did a clean cut exploratory panel & found plumbing we didn't know about which would require a drastic increase in budget we didn't want to spend. He sealed up the wall for us. His smart thinking saved us a big mess and lots of cash. He even cleaned the dry wall dust up! Highly recommend Dave & Smart And Handy!

- Kent M, Costa Mesa

Dave did an amazing job installing a bi-fold door and a Superior TV Mount which wraps around our wall and allows our TV to go outside. Unreal. Couldn't be happier with service, price... everything.

- Amy R., Orange

They are indeed smart, and handy. Very competent, thorough and conscientious. They completed the work quickly, and on-budget. If you need a reliable handyman service, this is the one!

- Michael W., Costa Mesa

We had Dave do some work around the house, including installation of a mounted microwave, ceiling fans, and some other odds and ends. Great job.. honest and licensed contractor... good stuff.

- Daniel R., Orange

I hired Dave at Smart & Handy to repair a water leak at a rental property and he was not only able to find the leak but he was able to repair it at a reasonable cost. The finished product looks great and the tenant is super happy with the work and the professionalism of Dave and his team.
