I needed a few things around the house that needed to be fixed. He was responsive and reasonably priced. He kept the receipts and separated material and labor. Good guy to be a handy man for small things here and there.

Handyman Republic

Was on time and a really hard worker! He helped us with our yard which was extremely labor-some and also not his usual area of expertise but he was a huge help. Will be contacting him again for future projects.

From Judy L.

I asked this contractor for a simple light fixture replacement; I will provide all the new LED lights. Wiring and junction boxes already exist. It’s just a matter of replacing the old fixtures with the new ones. The quote was for $140 per light for the light replacement, with a total of $2,100 for 15 lights. The estimate included a very high labor charge of 2 hours ($140) per light.

Based on my experience, the quote of $2,100 for 15 of these simple lights' replacement is excessive. I would advise anyone getting a quote to question the labor hours, as they may be inflated.

Carlos was wonderful. He showed up on Labor Day to caulk my chimney that my insurance required. He did a fine job and I’d recommend him in a heartbeat. If I ever need other things done, he will be my 1st call!

From Sumiyyah A.

Punctual handyman who showed up with tools and on time. Diagnosed the issues for our appliances. Costs $125 for initial run out and since we have to order parts and go out to Home Depot, we’ll have to pay for another run out to get the repairs done ($125+labor). At least we got it diagnosed.

Blast's Way, Your Way!

Blast was there when he said he would be. He gave us estimated costs & labor before the job began. We had a lot of odds & ends for him to fix, plumbing, electrical, woodworking & Sheetrock. He stuck to his budget & cleaned up each day. We will use him again most definitely.

It's a shame that you can only click three options, because Welsey was everything listed as a positive quality. He will patiently explain the job's tasks and any intermittent surprises that may arise during the job. He will provide a budget and all the corresponding evidence for it's need. Furthermore, he is cost conscience and charges labor at an affordable price. Happy to have hired him and will call for all future handy man tasks.

I reached out to Jermaine in the morning, had hired him within 30 minutes, and the job was completed perfectly before noon. I needed a lamp post and live electrical outlet removed from my yard and he handled the electrical component, manual labor and filling in the holes exactly how I had requested. He was on time and made prompt work of the project, and was professional and friendly throughout! The cost was absolutely reasonable and good value. I will definitely hire Exclusive Home Improvement for projects in the future and would highly recommend his services!

From Kevin V.

Vic gets credit for being on time but did not finish the agreed work as another reviewer committed on this site. My mistake for not reviewing the work before paying as I was not at the address. He will say he did $500 worth of work for $200. His total work performed was to replace 2 faucets and a sink cabinet baseboard which he values at $500 in labor. He also did not clean up after himself as reported by my tenants leaving the old faucet out in the open kitchen counter without any attempt to even dispose of it.

From Denise A.

Although they arrived an hour late and took calls from other clients during our allotted time, Joe and his apprentice were conscientious, precise, and creative when mounting a large and heavy mirror in a less than plumb wall, and Joe stayed late to finish mounting all other artwork as agreed previously. Grateful for Joe’s education, professionalism, and entrepreneurial spirit, restoring my faith in contract labor as I’ve had almost nothing but dismal experiences beforehand. We’ll be calling Joe and his team for all of our handiwork from now on.

Fixed my issue really well, had a exterior wall in my Mother-in-Law Suite removed and replaced, had water damage from bad previous construction, he removed wall, replaced it looking great, communicated well, sometimes a bit too well. though great service fast response, He worked on Saturday and Labor day to get my issue repaired fast.

Wasn't the cheapest bid I received but was the most responsive and fastest. his price was middle ground, never buy cheap you get what you pay for.

I would highly recommend.

EDDIER HOMES REPAIRS LLC

Hired for a job to replace a pole that was painted. Also if labor and materials included he said yes, but make sure if painting is included as that was a separate charge. That was my mistake for not asking since I assumed since I asked for a blue painted pole to be painted that that is how it would be replaced. Also wanting to change me for a roller and paint brush when you're Construction company makes me no sense when those things should be part of construction companies tools already. Will be the last time I use. He did communicate well and show up and repaired but left it unpainted and charges extra to paint, just so anyone else doesn't make the same mistake I did.

From Thumbtack Customer

This was my first experience with Thumbtack and Sean (with ProDesign) was fantastic. Very professional, punctual and kept us in the loop every step of the way. He replaced about 14 ft of fence for us and provided updates when he was arriving, after demo, when he picked up the lumber and when he was done. He did a great job! His bid was very competitive as well and actually itemized what went into it (labor and all the materials). He didn't try upselling us on anything frivolous and even tried to save us money with an alternate fix of a problem we had with the fence. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him again and will pass his name on to everyone else in the neighborhood. Thanks Sean.

I would never recommend using Douglas unfortunately. We paid $300 in labor to install a kitchen faucet, two blinds, and a shower head, only to discover that both the faucet and shower head were leaking as soon as we tested it again after he left. When we contacted him within 30 minutes of his departure, he said he could return later that evening or the following morning to address our concerns. After making arrangements around his schedule, he repeatedly made excuses and failed to show up as promised. We ultimately had to hire someone else to fix his mistakes. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience for my family that cost us additional time and money due to his lack of basic plumbing skills and honesty.

From Thumbtack Customer

Handyman Joe did a combined job for me which was replacing all the outlets and light switches in the house and finishing the guest bathroom shower tile job. In general he can be a bit pushy but will listen and back down if you are resolute. If you aren't comfortable with confrontation I would avoid. He makes a lot of claims about his guys working with him for years and such. I got the feeling that was true with a couple of them but others he probably just picked up at Home Depot that day. He is great about doing Home Depot runs for you and keeps all receipts. He communicates with you well. In the end he is sort of a go-between contractor for day laborers which can be valuable as he's fully bi-lingual. The work itself we are happy enough with.

Realta Construction and Remodeling

Do not use these people!!! They are liars! I paid cash for their labor and was promised that they would come back today to set up the bed they took down to complete the floor. I told them to call me when they would be enroute, I never received a phone call of when they would be arriving. I get a message on thumbtack that they came by and I wasn’t home! I was never connected by them that they were enroute nor was I called when they said they came by. This is horrible customer service. I assumed they did this because they had already gotten their money! Why would anyone say they would come that day, not inform the customer of a time when they would arrive and after arriving, never call the customer to let them know they had arrived???? I was around the corner and could have been home in 2 minutes if they would have informed me of their arrival time. Do not use these people!!!

M & W Construction shakes down their customers after they start the job. I had accepted the bid from M &W Construction including labor and materials to install 3 post, new gate and pickets. After starting they said I would have to pay an additional 30% to have a new gate that was part of the bid. Later they said I had to pay another 7% on top of that because they spent more on materials then they anticipated. Even worse was the safety issue of leaving the old heavy gate on the ground in the back yard. They did not even carry the old gate to the garbage can. The tenant cannot carry the gate.

I went with M & W Construction even though they were the highest bid because they state they do all handyman service like tile, drywall, painting, plumbing, etc. I have rental units and need a variety of maintenance done. This was just a first job to see how they work. Three post and a gate is not a difficult project for an experienced handyman. Mr Walter Salguero stated "if I would of know it was going to be as complicated as it was I would never taken the job." Again, glad I went small before doing a single family remodel.

They also stated I would get an invoice detailing they job and their business address would be on the invoice. Another lie.

From Thumbtack Customer

DO NOT USE THIS GUY - he agreed to do repairs at my investment condo (and move some small furniture for me which he was clearly not equipped to do so he ruined all of it) he charged me $430 & all furniture is ruined (he sent me texts that say it is crappy ikea furniture & fell apart) I asked him for his insurance info & he doesn't respond, I want to file a claim. He boasts that he bonded & insured but I think he is lying about it or he just has horrible customer service. I have been in Real Estate for 26 yrs & that is top 5 of horrible experiences w/a handyman. I was clear what I need on my bids to include materials & labor everything; no extra charges or fees and he still submits receipts with the bill (he's done 2 jobs for me and will do NO MORE) He also said he will complete the job & invoice me but he harasses you for money before he even starts the job stating "I really need the cash" (more texts I have saved) If he doesn't give me his insurance info, I am considering filing a lawsuit. I don't know how he has been in business for so many years with this type of unprofessional-ism (I WOULD DEFINITELY SAY CUSTOMER BEWARE).

I chose this company to repair my patio cover which is made of wood with corrugated fiberglass panels covering it. One board on the right side of the cover had rotted and fallen off and another one was about to do the same. The flashing connecting the patio cover to my roof was all messed up and needed to be replaced. Some of the panels on top were flapping in the wind because they weren't secured with galvanized nails. The entire patio was leaking all over the place. I wanted all of that fixed with no leaks. I hired this company based on their rate of $75 per hour posted on the Thumbtack. I traded messages with a man at the company and explained what I believed needed to be done. I think his name was David. Overall, I am satisfied with the work done although I had to pay more than I wanted but probably not unreasonable in these days. Here is what I didn't like. He refused to send anyone out to see what needed to be done. He relied on three pictures that I took and sent to him. He quoted me a price of $750 for labor which I took to mean he believed it would be a 10-hour job. I didn't think it would take that long. They were also be the cost of materials and tax. Again he refused to send anybody out until I confirmed his quote which apparently meant I agreed to pay that much. So it wasn't an estimate like I asked for. I finally agreed so someone would come out to look at my patio and the work needed. I was still under the impression I would be given a more accurate estimate. The worker came out at 9:00 a.m. and we spent about 15 minutes looking at the patio while I was telling him what needed be done. He didn't speak English very well. So I'm not sure he understood me completely. Then he left and was gone a little over an hour while he went to Home Depot to pick up the supplies. He then worked on the patio. I replaced the rotted board with better lumber and replaced the flashing. He secured the panels with galvanized nails. I don't know if he put any sealant on it at that time. At 12:00 p.m., you went out and sat in his truck in my driveway for an hour. Fortunately for me, it started raining during this time. I went out on my patio and it was still leaking in a lot of places. I messaged David to ask why the worker was sitting in his truck and he told me the job was done. It was not because the patio was still leaking everywhere. I also asked him about the price and that's when he told me the $75 rate is only for small jobs and that repair jobs like mine are priced by the job. He said he explained that to me up front. He did not. I went back through all our messages and the only thing he said was that they don't like to send people out to give estimates. I guess he talked to the worker then and the worker came back around to my patio and put a tar-like material everywhere the patio cover was leaking. He finished at about 3:00 p.m. It was raining the whole time he worked on it the second time. So I appreciate his work very much. The total cost for repairing my patio was $880.
