This misogynist refused to listen to my requests or read any instructions. As a result, he was only able to properly put together one out of six pieces of furniture that I asked for help with. Don't waste your time. read more

Quick response and came the next day during the 30 min window he gave me. Came out to fix a window screen. I gave him the wrong measurements (thought it was a split screen since there's 2 windows, but it's all one screen) He was super understanding and ordered a wider screen roll. He called me a couple days later to say it arrived and set up a new time to replace it. It was $60 (parts and labor) read more

Fred is invaluable. He is honest and does excellent work in a variey of areas. You cannot do better. E.M Point Loma read more

I have had many handymen services and some really great people so I was expecting someone that would be the same. Sadly I was left with two unfinished projects out of 3. Fredz gets very overwhelmed and flustered with hard work and directions. He also does not want to work past 1 or 2pm. He prefers the bare minimum.. His wife also starts calling when he stays any longer. Sadly I paid a great amount of money and have two doors without handles, that won't close, and a half installed coffee ikea cabinet bar because he was to stressed or worried to finish the project. read more

I called Fred at 9:00 am today to ask him to do two tasks. Put together a Pottery Barn table and metal shelves. He said he could be there by 11:00 am. He arrived early and got to work quickly. He's a fast worker and completed both jobs in one hour. He even figured out my shelves with no instruction manual. If you need furniture assembled I would recommend him. He wrote a receipt before he left. I think he's a good worker and professional. read more

Fredz is professional and honest. He shows up when he says he will and charges a fair price for the work. If he cannot do something he is upfront with it. He works clean and is thoughtful. Provides receipts for items he buys and gives you a receipt for the services he complete. Would highly recommend him and would happily call him in the future. read more

My tenant had a minor repair that Fred resolved quickly and professionally. This is a tough time to find a handyman that's available quickly, and Fred was able to step up and get the work done, and in a cost effective manner. Definitely recommended! read more

I reached out to Fredz Handman Service Earlier today, via email, for a quote and hourly pricing for handyman work around my house, no listing of how soon I needed anything completed specifically. Just looking for a general estimate and info on their hourly wage/cost Fred's email response to my well typed out, courteous email was "sorry, I'm not available" THAT WAS IT!! No, can I get back to you in a day or two, etc. JUST IM NOT AVAILABLE!! Tink about handymen you want to deal with, hire and that response, NO BUENO!! read more

Great guy, friendly and skilled at his Profession, he been working on my place, putting in deadbolts, security lights. Next is painting my Deck and other things. A very happy Customer. read more

I find Fred very trustworthy and pleasant to work with --I felt comfortable with him right away. He always gives a fair price, the work is done well, and I can usually get an appointment quickly. Recently, he saved us the cost of a new garbage disposal --a less scrupulous person would have installed it just to get the extra money. If you're looking for a reliable, versatile, reasonably-priced handyman who does good work, Fred is the guy! read more

I would NEVER write a dishonest review and I resent you accusing me of such. If you were unfriendly to me, then it was fairly obvious and I wrote about it. You hung me up waiting for your response to your estimate and then you were very gruff on the phone when you cancelled, no apology, which is called CUSTOMER SERVICE! I'm on the Elite Team and I'm on there because my reviews are honest and fair. You are one of the VERY few one star reviews I have ever written. You were rude to me and I called it as I saw it. What other 5 star reviews on Yelp for your business are you talking about?? I'm your ONLY review on here so far! And you took FOUR YEARS to respond to my review?! Really, I'm not sorry I wrote it, but I am sorry that you seem to think I wrote it with no grounds at all. I noticed you have two other reviews on here that are hidden and obviously written by your friends because they have no other reviews! I believe that Yelp considers that suspicious. read more

As a woman, I'm always hesitant of having people over to my home whom I don't know to do household projects; however, as a new homeowner this has been a necessity, and I couldn't be more happy to have found Fred! I have now used Fred twice for projects around my condo including hanging pictures/curtains, unclogging shower drains, reinstalling toilet parts, etc. Fred is prompt, responsive, knowledgable, reasonably priced, efficient and friendly. He enjoys his job and takes pride in his work. I cannot recommend Frank enough! Thank you Frank! read more

Fred returned my initial call immediately, came by to assess my 'list' that same day, provided a written estimate within 24 hours, gave me a start date/time and arrived as promised. His work is meticulous. He listens, makes recommendations, but appropriately seeks input from the client. He is equally professional and personable. I will definitely be using him for all my handyman needs in the future. Services performed: Cleared gutters, replaced closet door slider tracks, hung wall fountain & window coverings, repaired switch plates, converted swinging door to 'barn door', removed non-working wall mounted tvs. read more

Fred is beyond great! He's not only a friendly person but very skilled. He is punctual, neat and does not leave a mess. He changed an office chair tilt/swivel mechanism on my leather office chair, did a great job and charged me a very reasonable price. I will use him again and highly recommend him. read more

Fred is talented for general handywork and responds diligently. Now that that's over with, I would not hire him for plumbing. A simple flapper repair (toilet) turned into a minor flood, when a valve started leaking. Being an apartment, the whole building has to be shutoff for the clean up job (two days later). As the leak became worse, Fred packed up. As he was leaving, he made a very acute observation: "You need to call a plumber". My 93 year old Mother was thrilled to hear that piece of wisdom. Thanks Fred, let me add articulate to the kudos noted at the top of this. Your advice his well heeded. read more

Friendly service, on time, helpful with answering questions and very reasonable rate.

Fred is really wonderful And kind. We had him come out to install our trash disposal. He was very efficient and provided us a really good rate. Just like what others said, he is extremely helpful and willing to come out for a small job. read more

We had several light fixtures that needed to be installed. Fred worked efficiently and got the job done right! We appreciate this type of contractor and will be calling him again! I highly recommend Fred. read more

Fred replaced the caulk in my bathroom, installed a new toilet seat, unclogged a very gross bathroom drain, and reattached a toilet paper roll holder to the wall all in under an hour and a half including a trip to Home Depot. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of the work. In addition, he was very accommodating to my irregular schedule and short timeline. He was friendly and took credit cards. I would have paid twice what he charged me for the work. I will recommend him to all my friends and neighbors. read more

Fred was very friendly and cordial. We hired him to fix a noisy bathroom fan . He cleaned it and stabilized it with screws but this did not solve the problem. We asked him to replace the fan but he did not feel comfortable doing it. We paid his hourly rate for the hour but alas we still have a noisy fan. read more

Fred was very friendly, fast in his response, and efficient. His price for fixing my toilet was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family and will call him for any future home problems. read more

I made some DIY cat shelves, and the only thing left to do was hang them. I am not a whiz with a drill so I decided to give Yelp a shot. Frank responded to my Yelp message quickly, arrived on time, and efficiently did the job for an incredibly reasonable price. The screws I got were the wrong ones--but thankfully Frank had the right ones in his tool kit. On top of that, he is a super kind person with lots of knowledge about San Diego and its history. I sat and chatted with him while he hung the shelves, and in thirty minutes they were up and sturdy. I will definitely be calling Frank in the future for any more handyman needs! Thanks Frank! read more

I just called this guy to schedule an appointment for an estimate and he made every excuse not to come to my house to assess the nature of the projects I had for him (TO MAY BE) do. Instead he wanted me to take a picture of every single little "home" project I had in mind and send it to him. I didn't feel he had any interest on providing me with any services he advertises. read more

Fred is very friendly and has a lot of experience. We called him for four curtain rod replacement, a TV mount. He came in early and did excellent job in a professional manner. During the process we communicated clearly about our objectives and he explained what he's doing. We had a good time. I actually learnt a lot about how to fix things from him. Since the job took shorter than I thought, I decided we do something extra. This include a fire alarm replacement, a storage room shelf installation and fixing a sliding screen. He completed all of them efficiently, with very satisfactory results. I'm happy with his work and the charge is very reasonable. During the job there are some hiccups because the curtain rod we purchased is defect. Fred provided insight and constructive suggestions to move things forward and we are very happy with the results. We definitely recommend Fred and is very likely to contact him again in the future. read more

Fred recently helped me with several projects including painting a room, picking up and assembling furniture, laying a room-sized rug, installing mini-blinds and hanging pictures. He was always prompt, professional and helpful with suggestions. He presented me with a detailed statement each time and it was always accurate and fair. read more

Fred is great! He can do anything. Always on time, does a great job. From hanging pictures to dry wall, he is the best!! Caryn White Ocean Berach Acupuncture read more

Reliable work. Great price. Easy to work with.

I highly recommend Fred. I called him in to fix a plumbing problem; Fred took the time to evaluate the issue and recommended a fix I could do myself. Fred saved me the cost of calling in a plumbing service and did not charge me for his advice. read more

Fred is absolutely the best! We found him on yelp for an urgent issue that came up and he was on top of it immediately. First of all it is nice to finally find someone who answers their phone and will talk through scheduling and timing with you. Fred got us scheduled and fixed the issue all within 24 hours! He came in and dealt with a couple of random issues and was more than fair in price and did a great job! He had them finished and I had my receipt for payment right away which was perfect seeing as we were out of town when he came in and it is nice to have someone you trust! We will recommend him to all our friends and family! read more

We used Fredz Handyman Service to paint our rental unit. He painted all doors and kitchen cabinets in oil paint - unheard of these days! Fred did an exceptional job and we couldn't be more pleased. His price was reasonable. He cleaned up beautifully, arrived early, and marked all paint cans. We happily give him the 5 stars he deserves. read more

I had Fred come to my house for 2 separate jobs. Both times he arrived on-time and did phenomenal work! He is friendly and professional, does quality work and is prices are reasonable. I will use him again for any handyman jobs that come up. read more

Efficient and has a reasonable hourly rate. I had him fix a stripped bathroom door and hinge, stuck shower head, and install a wifi thermostat. He completed it all under an hour. Will use him again! Thanks Fredz. read more

My mom needed two ceiling fans replaced and a doorbell installed. Fred was awesome! He called to ask if it was okay that he came about an hour EARLY, he was polite, did the jobs perfectly, he was kind to the dogs, cleaned up after himself and offered to take the old fans outside. And, lastly, he did everything for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend Fred and am glad my mom now has a trustworthy and dependable handyman! read more

Our king size bed was making funny noises and since we are tall people I thought I needed to have somebody look at it. My husband had busted it already once when he let himself plop down on it (6'3"/220 leaves a mark). I called Fredz and he came within 30 minutes, and fixed the whole thing, new brackets and all. Fantastic! He also tuned up my son's bed. I paid $ 67, which I thought was really reasonable. Great guy! Fast! Fixes anything! Not expensive! I've got him on speed dial now. read more

We have a rental unit in La Jolla and can't be there to do work ourselves. Fred went by right away and did a great job at a low price. He charged less than half that of the other two guys I called. I definitely recommend him. read more

I have been a customer of Fredz for a couple of years now. Great service. I like having someone local. He knows how to fix about anything. He also did some fabulous painting. Honest, friendly guy. Highly recommend. Fast service! read more

Fred changed a fuacet for me today and did a wonderful job. Fred , should i need anything else done you are getting my call.
