What Our Clients Say

  • "Temple is an extraordinary craftsman - capable of jobs small and large. He's a pleasure to work with. He shows up when he says he will and pays close attention to the details in all he does. I am so appreciative of the work he did at my home - many small jobs which had long been neglected and two major projects. One was a room damaged by water intrusion. Temple completely sealed off the area, removed soaked sheetrock and flooring, left it open to dry for a couple days, then sealed the gaps where water had entered, installed new insulation, sheetrock, flooring and paint, and it looked as if no damage had ever occurred! The other large project was repairing a bridge leading to my driveway which needed bracing and rotted beams replaced. Temple handled it perfectly. Obviously he has my highest respect and recommendation."

    Dr. Pearlyn Goodman-Herrick, San Anselmo

  • "Temple is amazing all around! He has managed a couple of big fence projects for us. They look terrific. Temple made sure to understand what we wanted, got to know our priorities and set up a team that got it done in time and budget. He is smart, people-savvy and creates a really pleasant atmosphere for his clients and the other people on the project."

    Jochen Raysz, Bolinas

  • "Temple is above and beyond as a handyman/construction business. He is very creative in finding solutions and has a highly aesthetic eye for the finished result! I highly recommend him."

    Mardi Wood, Bolinas Artist & Homeowner

  • "Our whole home remodel was running behind schedule and I had very limited time to set up the house for a reunion weekend for my college friends. Over the course of several days, Temple was a rock star at getting everything assembled and set up - bunk beds, a king bed with drawers, a coffee table, a lot of outdoor furniture, hanging curtains and wood blinds, mounting a surfboard high on a wall, applying grip-tape to an outdoor spiral staircase, and even putting up a flagpole. He is always responsive, honest, and very pleasant to work with. He's just an overall good human being. I'd highly recommend his work."

    Mel Dixon, Stinson Beach

  • "Temple has provided excellent construction and handyman work in our local yoga studios, from building beautiful benches to installing cubbies and hardware to painting walls. Temple also did a great job staining the decks at my house. He's your guy for all your handyman and construction needs and beyond. He works with heart and provides awesome communication and services."

    Amy G, Metta Yoga Co-Founder

  • "I have hired Temple for two of my properties. He is skilled toward precision, detail-oriented with intention and an incredible, cool guy to work with! Reliable and dedicated, I highly recommend not only what he does - but who he is!"

    Dr. Brigitte L. Lank, Marin County

  • "Temple is the most skilled handyman I've ever met. He helped me with all kinds of projects, big and small. He assembled and disassembled furniture, helped me move, built a space in my backyard for my dog, fixed odds and ends around my house, hung holiday lights, mounted my TV, and so much more. He is someone you can count on to do the job RIGHT! On top of his amazing talents, he is a kind, honest man who listens and executes projects exactly how you want them done."

    Jennifer Repo, San Rafael

  • "You couldn't find a more lovely person to help you with home projects than Temple! I am a Landscaper in Marin County, and hired him to help with multiple projects for various clients. I could count on him to do beautiful, careful work in a timely fashion, and communicate with me as he went along. Anyone would be lucky to have him work for them! We miss him greatly in our part of the world!"

    Lea Earnheart, proprietor of Natural Landscapes

  • "Temple is incredibly skilled. He efficiently installed my water filtration system in a timely manner and it was very reasonably priced. Just a lovely person to be around. Five Stars"

    Nina Phillips, Bolinas

  • "Temple helped us so much in ways both large and small. He is thoughtful, highly skilled with multiple tools, reliable and sunny. Besides helping us construct out yurt, he repaired chairs, made a shelf system for our shed, and created an apple chute for our neighbors' wayward apple tree that was dumping apples behind our shed (win-win)! He is a craftsman and also can invent solutions! A pleasure and a treasure. Recommended without reservation."

    Mary & Rob Ford, Stinson Beach

  • "Temple did great work for me on many different jobs. He can figure out creative solutions for anything you might need. His first job (of many) for me was restoring my home after a massive and horrendous rat infestation that I had thought would require a hazmat team! He literally saved my sanity. Temple was a great gift to Bolinas and we miss him a lot!"
