"I’ve used Mai Taime a few times and I am beyond impressed! As an interior designer I often find myself needing miscellaneous things done around homes and finding the right people for the things I need done can be a headache! So far they have hung art for me, installed faucets in an entire home, replaced vanity mirrors, helped a client with their plumbing issues, switched out lighting fixtures, and installed new faceplates on all the switches and outlets. I’m very big on details and they clearly are too! So far any request has been met to perfection. Plus always on time, always clean up, and my clients have always say great things after I bring them in!"

Old Homes, Careful Hands
Careful Handyman Work for Santa Ana's Historic Homes
Old houses reward a slower, more careful hand, and Santa Ana has some of the best in the county.
Santa Ana's historic neighborhoods — Floral Park, French Park, Wilshire Square, and others — are full of older Spanish Revival and Craftsman homes, many from the 1920s and 1930s. Plenty still have plaster walls, original door hardware, and bathrooms with old tile worth keeping. Plaster cracks if you drill it wrong, so TV mounting and art hanging here take patience, the right bits, and a careful look behind the wall.
Santa Ana is also the county seat, so downtown and the Civic Center area have plenty of small offices, shops, and studios. They need shelves, light fixtures, faceplates, and doors that close right, and our electrical repair covers the small stuff. Santa Ana sits just south of Orange. Live a bit east? We work in Tustin too.

For Detail-Minded Owners
Reviews to Read Before Calling a Santa Ana Handyman
"What a lifesaver! We needed our faucet replaced and Mai Taime was easy to communicate with, prompt, and professional. They did an excellent job and I will definitely be using them for future projects."
"I had a few things I needed done and Keith was up to the task. Built an exterior water heater door that was weather resistant, leveled and secured a heavy gate, fixed my front door that would get stuck and made an additional gate usable again. We agreed on a time and he was there when promised, gave me updates and photos as things progressed and charged me a fair fee for all the work he did. Highly recommended"
Santa Ana Q&A
Answers for Santa Ana Homes and Businesses
Can you mount a TV on the plaster walls in my Santa Ana home?
Yes, with care. Old plaster over wood lath can crack or crumble if it's drilled too fast. We find the studs, drill slowly with the right bits, and anchor the mount into solid framing. Heavy TVs never hang from plaster alone, especially in earthquake country.
Can you update an original bathroom in my Santa Ana home without a full remodel?
Yes. A new faucet, a toilet that finally stops running, a fresh mirror, a new light fixture, and clean faceplates can make an old bathroom feel new while you keep the original tile. We work around vintage tile carefully and tell you if something needs a specialist.
Can you add a garbage disposal to an older Santa Ana kitchen?
In many cases, yes. A disposal needs power under the sink, and many older kitchens never had it. If there's already an outlet or switch for one, we can install it the same visit. If not, you'll need an electrician first, and we'll tell you that up front.
Do you work for small offices and shops in downtown Santa Ana?
Yes. Offices, shops, and studios can book us for shelves, art, TV mounts in meeting rooms, light fixtures, faceplates, and doors that won't latch. We're open seven days with early morning and evening slots, so we can often work before you open or after you close.
