I hired Diaz Handyman Service for a few home repairs, and the experience was smooth from start to finish. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Communication was clear[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and the work was completed on time with great attention to detail. Everything looks solid and professionally done read more

Joe Diaz is fantastic, we've had him work on a few different projects around our home from installations to repairs and have always found him knowledgeable, easy to work with, thoughtful, and just a genuinely nice person. It is hard to find people that do the kind of work that he does, and we appreciate him. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Contracting, scheduling, and working in general with Joey was super easy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He provided amazingly quick, efficient, and professional work. Will definitely work with him again! read more

More than 10 stars. I needed some deck planks removed to diagnose a sewer pipe clog. Joe responded immediately and was here within hours! He was quick, professional and knowledgable about my plumbing problem also. Best Yelp find yet!! read more

We called Joe because we could no longer close our back exterior door, so we needed someone relatively fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He came to look at it the day after I called him, and came to fix it a day after that, right on time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The door now works beautifully after years of sticking in the summer -- such a pleasure! He did a great job. The door is still kind of ugly since we haven't painted it for 25 years so I don't feel like a photo would do justice to the "ahhhhh" sensation we get every time we open or close it with ease now. read more

Joey was very professional and very knowledgeable with my door install. I was able to get a very nice door recommendation by him and he was able to help me get the proper measurements for it. That took some time (like removing the trim of the door) and he didn't charge me for the getting those correct measurements even though it took an extra trip. Would highly recommend! read more

Joe's handyman fu is strong! Trusted, clever, responsive, hard working, tidy, and fair. Did I mention friendly and careful? Joe is thorough in assessment of each job so there will be few-to-no surprises as he digs into the work. He won't commit to what he can't do or finish. No work is left undone. Among many things, he has: replaced sinks, assembled furniture, repaired antique furniture, installed quake ties for heavy furniture, handicap aids for post-surgery, hung items on walls, even repairing more than one defective item w/ingenius solutions so they need not be returned. He fixed the derailing medicine-drawer-from-hell that we can't believe we spent decades putting up with because we were sure it couldn't be fixed without deconstructing the built-in cabinet. It was no problem for Joe. He also heroically installed a bulky commercial kitchen faucet in my textile craft room that seemed utterly impossible because the deep sink was set too close to the wall, but he wrangled the plumbing in there lickety-split, having exactly the right specialty tool in his truck. Now, it's our favorite sink in the house. Like I said, strong fu! My next to-do list for him is nearly long enough for another call. Joe was also game to implement a crazy idea. I always dreamed of glass front banker/lawyer's bookshelves to house our many treasured volumes, as well as, our vinyl collection and other media. Unfortunately, old-school glass front bookshelves are not the right size for modern entertainment components or vinyl records, and even if they were they're ungodly expensive. We asked Joe to make a large glass front bookcase out of TV consoles, and put them on wheels, and still have them support 800 lbs! Joe was skeptical but intrigued and, finding the consoles to be solid wood and large weight-bearing casters numerous, agreed to take up the challenge. He made it work better than we envisioned with suggestions that improved the design at less cost. They are crazy sturdy with all the reinforcements. The back has 2 waist-high mounted power strips in easy reach for powering off when out of town. Plugging anything in or out is no longer a back-wrenching misery groping blind behind an immovable armoire. Everyone who sees them is so jealous of our dust-free book and media cases! To break it down solid-wood bankers' bookshelves modified to work would have been $20,000. No chance. I thought I was going to have to settle for another set of ugly, disposable shelving that couldn't stand up to the job and be bummed every time I looked at them. In the end, the cost of 3 consoles + Joe's elbow grease brought the whole project in at $2,000 with no laminate, vaneer, or garbage particle board, and lower than the cost of Ikea! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Joe! read more

Diaz Handyman Service - Replaced the kitchen faucet - Handyman Near Me - El Cerrito, California

Highly recommended. The oak table breakdown is now fixed by Joe Diaz. He came the day after I sent the picture and set to work. I feared the table might be a goner since this was not the first breakdown and repairs were not holding. In short, I am very happy to have discovered DIAZ HANDYMAN SERVICE, -- the previous efforts to repair did not get to the base of the table's problem which is now solved, I am confident. He brings all sorts of tools and repair things including much better screws to replace the very old outdated screws that were part of the problem. I asked him about a water damage issue I have been ignoring and learned a lot about possible options, from major expense to minimum to halt the damage. He Is a licensed contractor, so that takes in a lot of fixes. And reasonably priced. A congenial, and I believe a trustworthy problem solving professional. I feel lucky to have been given his name by my son who saw his many good reviews. read more

Joe did a great job on our ceiling drywall repair job on short notice. He came to the house to provide a free estimate the day after I contacted him, which I found fair and reasonable. He showed up on time for the work and completed it well in the timeframe he committed to. I'm very pleased with the results. Highly recommended. read more

Joe helped me renovate my rental unit and did great work. He over delivered on timing, repeatedly finishing things in less time than quoted. He automatically fixed things he found that I hadnt discovered. He worked well around the painters, floor installers, and countertop installers, making me feel someone besides me was keeping an eye on the big picture. Everything was done very professionally with great attention to detail. He knows how to do many many things and is a pleasure to be around. His fees are more than reasonable for the quality of work he does. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

My front door had gotten harder to close the past few years, as the house settled. He came out the day after I called and trimmed the bottom and adjusted the frame where it locks. Now it opens and closes easily. He had the right tools and was knowledgeable and did a good job for a reasonable price. Recommended. read more

Seemed nice and knowledgeable enough over the phone but he doesn't fill out W9s, just FYI. So, as a rental property owner, I wasn't able to use his service. read more

I used Diaz Handyman services today. He was very nice, clean, and did a super job re-doing the duct work for the dryer. The original system had flex tube run through the wall and part way below the house. What a mess. It was leaking and allowed crawl space smell up into the house. Now it's properly done with solid ducting, well braced, and sealed off. His electrician also installed a 240V plug to go electric on the dryer. Anyway, I'd recommend Diaz if anyone else needs a handyman. read more

He was not able to service our area but wanted to leave this positive review for how he took the time to listen to the job that we needed and helped problem solve with me on the phone. Communicated clearly, very helpful, and would have loved to use his services if we were in his area. read more

Joe came at short notice and fixed an almost unfixable warped sliding glass door. He didn't give up although the situation looked hopeless. We'll definitely hire him to install a new door (once we order it) and for many other projects we have around the house. read more

This is one of those reviews that I should have written a while ago... I just don't know if this will make it all that harder to book Joey for future work! We started with a closet remodel and handrails for the front of our house. We quickly added another project and expanded the scope of what we had planned for with the original closet to include two closets! Joey and his assistant were efficient and friendly to work with. He fixed a closet door for no charge. Joey's work is top-notch. My wife and I have put together a list of additional projects we'd like to work with Joey on! We're glad to support this local business. read more

Joe is everything you want to find in a contractor: Knowledgeable, Reliable, Honest, Kind, and Professional. I contacted him to help install a kitchen sink for my parents and he immediately responded and scheduled a time to check out the project within the day. Once he arrived, he followed all Covid protocols and walked me through everything that would have to be done. Throughout the explanation, he paused to explain why things needed to be done a certain way and even suggested cost saving options. We discussed payment and timeframe and I contacted him when all the materials arrived. During installation day, he was on time and worked until the project was done. While everything with the sink was done perfectly, there was a slight leak from another unrelated pipe but Joe came back the next day to fix this unintended leak without charge. I would 1000% recommend Joe for any project and look forward to working with him for other projects! read more

I moved to El Cerrito recently and made a mistake by finding a non-local Handyman. I found someone via Home Advisor/Angie List that was not local and could not do the job. I then called Joe and he was the nicest, most professional and knowledgeable guy. If you are looking for a job done right then reach out to this local, nice, family man. read more

This guy. Slammed out a beautiful redwood gate for me in a jiff and then proceeded to devise a workaround for a series of gnarly construction obstacles to make my kitchen hack dreams come true. I can't recommend Joey Diaz enthusiastically enough. He prices reasonably, and what's more, he is completely open and forthcoming about potential challenges so that you don't get any surprises on your bill. He works efficiently but with a clear attention to detail. He obviously takes a ton of pride in his work and cares about getting it to work well and look fantastic. I will definitely be calling him back when I inevitably need more work or get another bright idea. read more

Super helpful!!! I called to ask about potentially getting a safety check on an indoor swing installation I did in my condo and he walked me through what I could do to check it myself before needing to call someone to come out and help.

We've had some terrible experiences with contractors and handymen - Joe is the first honest, hardworking guy we've been fortunate enough to hire. He was responsive to our request, came for a quote right away, was upfront about his abilities, and conservatively estimated a time to completion. By the way, don't be put off by his price, it's reasonable and here' s the most important thing we've learned after hiring waves of horrible handymen - YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Joe had estimated a five hour time to complete the myriad jobs we needed doing around the house...he finished in under 3 hours and everything was perfectly done. We've finally found our go-to handyman. Thank you, Joe. read more

I had to urgently repair some drywall after mold remediation. Joe was kind enough to fit me into his schedule and did an amazing job bringing everything back to normal. He was very courteous and punctual as well. It's hard to find a good handyman, especially one that is responsive and thoughtful in his actions. I highly recommend Joe to anyone that might need some help with repairs around the home. read more

I called Joe on a Saturday about a front door that was going out of alignment, hoping to leave a message and get on his schedule for the coming week. He came out that very afternoon and fixed the problem in half an hour at a very fair price. He's the kind of old-fashioned, fair craftsman who takes pride in doing a great job for people. And he's local! read more

Joe just replaced my interior doors, trim and baseboards. Excellent job! Very thorough and professional. He really works hard. I plan on calling on him again. Thanks Joe. read more

I have a rental unit and I live out of state. I had an emergency that I needed fixed very quickly after reading Yelp reviews I decided to reach out to Diaz Handyman Service. I called and spoke with Joe. He was very professional, understood the need to act quickly, and was willing to work with me and make it happen. After working with many handymen/people I cannot say enough great things about how thoughtful and willing to act fast and what great work Joe did. Thank you and I will plan to call you for any and all other things that come up! read more

Would definitely hire again! We hired Joe Diaz to replace a lavatory sink and to solve a long-term water problem due to having wooden beadboard behind the sink instead of a waterproof backsplash. He came up with a clever solution that was far less expensive to execute than what we'd had in mind. He is meticulous and pays attention to detail. The job ended up costing more than estimated because of unanticipated issues with the old faucet and old plumbing. Such is life when dealing with a very old house! We'd definitely hire Joe again for handyman work. He communicates well and is a pleasure to deal with. read more

My daughter had left some furnitures at her apartment that had to be taken to a dumpster since she had to go back home due to the pandemic, it was more costly to hire movers to handle this matter and I am glad I contacted Joe, a handyman, he was reasonable and more importantly communicated well and did the job that I needed. read more

Joe and one of his friendly assistants are working on a multi-part music-studio project in my home. The first phase was completed, ahead of schedule, with a level of quality and professionalism that is absolutely top-notch. The project has so far included wall demolition, treatment and sealing of basement walls, and the installation of a floating sub-floor on a concrete slab floor. Joe's skills and abilities are broad, and his attention to detail is demonstrable. It's clear to me that Joe is a stand-up guy, he says what he'll do and he'll do what he says. I look forward to working with him on future projects. read more

​ ​​Joe is absolutely amazing! He brings a kind of intelligence and creativity to projects that I've not encountered before. Joe has completed two projects for my home thus far and I could not be more pleased. He is extremely knowledgeable, and he listens attentively and patiently to what you aspire to for your home. He then devises high quality yet cost effective possibilities for you to consider. I think one reason Joe is so successful in his work (just look at the amazing photos of his projects!) is because he truly enjoys his work and is dedicated to his craft. Each time I have consulted with him, I walk away with at least a handful of ways in which I could realize the project. He is a visionary and someone I trust completely to tend to any project I can think of for my home. Thank you, Joe! read more

In spite the good reviews about this contractor, sadly, I wasn't a lucky one to get any kind answer from them. I was totally ignored. I left a voice message and I emailed them but nothing. read more

I had a tricky installation of an air conditioner into a fairly thick wall of the building. And Joe Diaz was fantastic in responding promptly to my request, offering a bid after looking at the project on site, and then within the week getting it all done. It looks better than the previous iteration of my air-conditioner and I cannot recommend Joe Diaz more highly. read more

Joe Diaz is a rare bird indeed. We've worked with him across a range of projects including installation of pavers, fence construction, washer-dryer install, Ikea kitchen cabinet assembly and install, design and construction of a guest bed pedestal with storage area, gallery railing install, storage shed demolition and more. Great with concept, design, tools and communication skills. Accepts credit cards, too. Would give him 8 stars if we could! read more

I had to locate this service from MN for folks- others never replied to calls but Joey did and quickly. My review is second hand but the folks were very pleased, he came all prepped to set up a canopy for shade and get the work done in the time he quoted. He even voluntarily picked up some security cameras in case this was something they were going to do and installed that system too with their approval. Thank you sir for getting the back door replaced on my folks home up on the hill. read more
