About Dependable Handyman Services
Dependable Handyman Services started in 2008 with one service truck and one owner who had spent twelve years learning nearly every trade on a job site. Today it's a licensed California A & B contractor handling repairs, remodels and commercial work out of Yuba City across the Yuba-Sutter area. The name says handyman, and we still take the small jobs. The license says a lot more.

Brandon's Story
Before Dependable Handyman Services existed, owner Brandon Brown spent twelve years apprenticing across the trades: welding, concrete, framing, plumbing, electrical and finish work. Most contractors learn one trade deeply and sub out the rest. Brandon learned how the pieces fit together, from the framing inside the walls to the trim on them.
In 2008 he bought a service truck and started taking jobs in Yuba City. Small repairs led to bigger ones. Bigger ones led to remodeling, structural repair and commercial work. As the work grew, so did the license: DHS now holds both the A and B (General Building) classifications on CSLB License #1065708.
Why a "Handyman" Company Does Remodeling
It's the question we get most. The answer is that real projects don't stay in one trade. A rotted deck turns out to have rotted framing. A leak becomes a subfloor repair and new flooring. A siding patch uncovers rotted sheathing. Most handymen have to stop and hand the job off when it crosses $1,000 or needs a permit. DHS was built so it doesn't have to: one licensed company, three divisions, one crew from a leaky faucet to a finished remodel.
