We've been dealing with a leak in our home for almost 2 years. We had multiple roofers come out and they weren't able to identify the root cause. Geo and his team finally solved the problem and fixed the roof issue. We can't recommend him enough! read more

GEO IS AMAZING. Fantastic communication from the start to the finish. I just purchased an electric car for the first time, nervous as heck. I had no idea what I was doing with the charging station he came out. He put it in beautifully. So much helpful knowledge that he shared with me. His work was precise & very clean. I highly highly highly recommend him!!!!! read more

There are people you hire, and then there are people who somehow, inexplicably, feel like they've always been part of your story. Gal belongs to the latter. From the moment he walked into the chaos of my soon-to-be first home, he possessed this uncanny ability to listen--not just hear, but truly listen. Every concern, every whimsical add-on, every late-night epiphany about where the sconces should go. He made it all seem not only possible but inevitable. And all this for what felt like a fair price. Patience like his should be patented. The plan we agreed on, executed to perfection, was just the beginning. I added, revised, reimagined--because I could, because Gal made it feel safe to dream big--and with each adjustment, he didn't flinch. He executed every last detail with a diligence and met my every request with "absolutely, consider it done". His personality is a rarity: sweet, funny, and calming in a way that makes even the most stressful of renovations feel like a collaborative art project rather than a looming headache. He took tasks that felt impossible--and broke them into moments, manageable and somehow even fun. And perhaps most remarkable of all: when the project was done and the payments were concluded, he didn't disappear. My calls are answered on the first ring. My lingering questions met with the same warmth and attention as during those first chaotic weeks. Gal isn't just a contractor; he's a partner in creating a home, someone you don't forget. To call him exceptional would almost feel reductive. Gal is a connection, and if you're lucky enough to work with him, you'll know exactly what I mean. read more

We have used Gal ("Encino Man" here on Yelp), for a variety of home maintenance needs. He and his crew have done painting and patching; have replastered; have done fine carpentry; have built and installed an outdoor wooden and metal gate. And today, in advance of a coming rainstorm, Gal went up on our roof, found the source of a roof leak (a cracked tile), and patched it so that we'll get through the storm without more leaks. He's responsive, resourceful, and reasonably priced. I recommend him highly. read more

We are so happy we found Geo! This guy's a total wizard when it comes to fixing stuff around the house. Just to name a few, he has realigned my doors, mounted a TV, installed pocket door handles, and patched and painted a hole. He's honest, reliable, and my go-to handyman from now on! read more

The "Encino Man" was referred to me by one of my neighbors who said he was good and fair priced. Well, I found him to also be a problem solver, easy to work with, and very efficient and skilled. Years of experience have obviously paid off. Extra credit for being a good communicator. Give him a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Geo and his crew have been amazing to work with. We hired Geo to Demolish our wet bar and build a walk in pantry closet that came out better than we could have expected. They added a pocket door where we needed one instead of the hinged door. Geo's team also replaced all my hinged doors with new updated doors in my old house. We also had Geo and his crew remodel our Powder Room. This consisted of demolition of older tile and vanity. Laying new tile, grout, baseboards, electrical, vanity & toilet install. We have a slew of other projects to do but we know we have our team to achieve our goals for our house. I would highly recommend Geo for remodel and design. We have had nothing but positivity with our experiences. read more

Gal "Geo" and his partner came out to do a bid on a kitchen and bathroom for us. I had found his recommendation from a neighbor on NextDoor. He is an ace communicator and the scheduling and bidding process was seamless. He was extremely warm, friendly, and present and quickly assessed the situation with recommendations to improve both design details and logistics. In addition, I had budget restrictions and he was willing to work with me to meet my limitations. I also appreciated that the quality of the work is something that is important to him and would highly recommend him! read more

He did not waste time and completed the work very fast. I plan to hire him again in the future when I need things to be done in our house read more

Geo is, hands down, the best. Three different handymen, one contractor, and one electrician were all puzzled by my request to hang my pendant star light fixture (it's very large and extremely heavy) from my vaulted wooden ceiling. None of the other guys were able to get the job done, but Geo was! Not only did he accept the challenge, but he hung it right away. It was no easy task, as the pendant's location is directly above stairs. Geo designed a custom metal bracket to secure the pendant to my ceiling (in between two wooden beams), and he found a way to prop his ladder safely above my stairs. Geo simply does not give up! He will find a way to complete whatever job you have. And he does it all with a smile, a sense of humor, and within a short period of time. Geo has completed other handyman jobs for me as well, but this was by far the most difficult and I'm so grateful I found him. Don't hesitate to call him, you won't regret it! Thanks Geo! read more

This guy did a great job with all the things around the house I'm not good at doing. Thanks for your help in topanga!

Found Gal (Geo) by a drive-by in Woodland Hills. Excellent communication, showed up on time and completed the whole job in one day. Wall/stucco repair on the side of the house where a plumber went hunting for a leak. Super quality work and very nice guy with honest, fair pricing. Already lining up our next project. Highly recommend! read more

Great person to work with. Very honest and reasonable. Work delivered as promised. Greatest handyman around. AAAA+++++

Finally, a handyman who is reliable! Geo is more than a handyman and more than just reliable. His workmanship and creativity are excellent. We needed some repairs done around our house and Geo came highly recommended. After three failed attempts by other repairmen to find a leak on our patio Geo was able to discover the source. He also found an issue with our garage roof we didn't know we had which was causing a window to leak during hard rains. His work is meticulous and thorough. He is incredibly reliable and a natural problem solver. read more

Everything was properly cleaned when he finished I give him an excellent recommendation and have recommended him to my friends. . read more

Geo Frank is great. I called him with an artificial turf issue and he came right over, assessed the job, priced it fairly and went to work. He drove to a couple turf centers and did the homework. His patching work was pretty great! He is a pleasant man who is professional and stays in contact. I will use him again for sure! read more

If you need a handyman, carpenter, builder, custom cabinet guy, hardscaper, or almost anything else you can imagine, call Geo Frank at (818) 614-2694. I needed many things done to the house we just moved into and had a few predictably lame experiences with other handymen -- the guy who couldn't show up due to car trouble... the guy heading out of town for a vacation so why didn't I try him back in a week or two... the guy who could only do certain fixes because his ex-partner stole half his tools, etc. etc. If any of this sounds familiar, try Geo at (818) 614-2694. Don't waste your time chasing down the fellows who claim to be cheaper, because many of them will end up costing you more by missed appointments, shoddy work, bad ideas, bad communication, and generally eating up precious hours of your life! Geo, by contrast, was outstanding in all respects -- punctual, communicative, very quick to respond by phone or text, and above all, a very talented worker. He is high-energy and doesn't waste one bit of your time or money. He can solve any problem and has a great aesthetic. He is fair and generous, his work is impeccable, and he holds himself to a very high standard. I will be using him for many things in the coming weeks, from making an attic storage-friendly to updating my kitchen to designing a backyard oasis. Highly recommend! read more
