I loved how Robert and Ana's response to my Yelp request read and their scheduling calendar was easy to use. They kept me updated about my appointment, right up to the day of the work when they notified me that Robert could come early. That worked fine for me. Robert was at my house as agreed and he looked at my problem, told me what he suggested doing and how much it would cost. It was very reasonable and I agreed on the spot. After getting needed supplies he had it fixed in no time and I have my lovely piece of furniture in working order again! Robert is a terrific person, friendly and professional. He is local and has other clients in my condo project. A real find! I will definitely be calling Handyman Today when I need work done professionally and reasonably. Can't say enough good things!!

He returned all texts and phone calls promptly, was on time for all appointments, came with the proper tools and was able to do any and all the things I needed in setting up my apartment: furniture assembly, hanging pictures and curtains, putting some odd decor items in place and repairs to stuff that needed just that to continue their life. He is fun to talk to and his prices are very fair. I have even recommended him to folks in my old neighborhood.

Honestly, I've had so many not-great experiences with various handymen over the years, that I…read moreprocrastinated looking for yet another one. But when we needed to change out an old bathroom vanity for a new one, we knew we had to get serious about it. And if you hire a plumber to do the work, which DOES involve some plumbing, then it costs way more. I resigned myself to the search and literally just contacted the most popular handyman service in my town based on Yelp reviews. Guess what? thank goodness I did! 805's Handyman (NOT to be confused with "805 Handyman") responded right away--even though it was a Sunday and the World Cup games were on. I uploaded pics, sent in the details, got an estimate, and made an appointment. On the day of, a nice truck drove up with the logo painted proudly on the side (not a guy in a fancy sports car, like handyman #9). Two sturdy guys came in and got down to business right away--no fuss, all smiles, and dare I say it? Like they loved what they do. (Unlike handyman #7 who was a former engineer and complained the whole time, even refusing to do some tasks!) Long story shorter, the bathroom vanity switcheroo turned out to be bigger and messier project than expected. It ended up involving some retiling, grouting, electrical adjustments, alterations to trim, painting--and the plumbing bits and installation and removal. The workers were quiet, helpful, communicated the whole time and were just generally old-school excellent (unlike handyman #4, who was nice, but got everything crooked and a bit wonky, bless his heart). The 805's Handyman workers did ALL the plumbing/installing/electrical/tile work/painting--the whole shebang. And the end result is a sweet transformation for our upstairs bath (I also asked them to take care of a few more items on my to-do list, which they did quickly and again, with smiles). The whole thing was very gratifying. So much so, that the next time something in our house needs fixing, I will actually look forward to hiring 805's Handyman again. We're lucky to have them in the Ventura area and they are popular on Yelp for very good reasons.

The entry door, he locked after I clearly told him, I do not lock my door (I was only in the HOA patio for less than an hour): His response was: "You didn't say that you don't take the key"... Having no phone (it was in the house) I broke the window; His suggestion that replacing the door would be cheaper than replacing the glass.... I should have just paid the $425 to replace all of the glass, that way I'd still have a door that fits, instead of this new unfinished door. The old door has been discarded, so there is no going back. The door is level, but it is still wonky at the top left, the right side overhangs the jamb on the inside, & the door & top lock sticks... It still needs sanding/painting & the privacy window film put on. I haven't heard from him, and I'm not going to call: I have a few other jobs, but hey... I'm tired. I'm heartsick about this and every time I look at this door, I just want to cry.... UPDATE: The flaming door.... Fred offered to pay for the door, as being locked out was the cause of my breaking the window, but I declined. Instead he said he'd install & paint the door at no cost. Fred insisted that the door I wanted was only $300 at H.D. The door he showed me was not available at the local H.D. (but a $628 door was) which he didn't accept, Fred then showed me a screen shot of the particular $328 door, which was listed only at Burbank. So I ordered the door from Burbank. Burbank H.D. REFUSED to deliver the door to me or send it to their Oxnard store (even after Oxnard staff called & requested the door be sent to them) as they are not in the same area. Which was why Fred went to pick it up.... Fred didn't show up the next day as he stated in his comments to right the door..... and I haven't called, because at this point I'm tired too and don't want to deal with anymore of the stress & angst that this has caused me.
