I moved here 3 years ago and needed a "handyman service". The neighbors said - around here the…read moreonly guy that knows what he is doing and is reasonably priced is FIX IT FRED. So I called him and he has been WONDERFUL. He has done electric, plumbing, installation of garbage disposal, new fence.

After the first few repairs which were fine & dandy, things just stopped working out: lack of…read morecommunication, jobs unfinished (leaving with no notes as to what/why/when), little things not cleaned up... 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.

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.

I've been on the lookout for a reliable handyman…read morein Ventura county for some time now and after working a recent small project with them, I know I'll be using them again as my regular repair people. I communicated with them through yelp and then we took to contact by phone/text. They were super communicative and prompt on setting up a date for repairs. They worked around my schedule which was appreciated and followed through without issue. I had them work on an outdoor electrical/lighting fixtures and Patrick did it with ease. He came with all his supplies and was prepared, he swapped out my old, ugly lighting fixtures and put in the new ones no issue. He was careful but prompt with getting this task complete. Very nice guy and someone you could trust and who did a honest thorough job. Aside from doing great work and being professional, the price point was also very reasonable compared to ten other quotes I got (yes, I do my research). They are affordable, professional and most importantly they did a great job. Even my neighbors watching from the outside were impressed and came over to take some business cards. I know I'll be locking them in for some more appointments and repairs in the near future. Great work and happy to have a trustworthy handyman in the area.

I've used Shayne Wright and Paint It Wright for multiple projects over the years, most recently to…read morerepaint a rental condo -- and he continues to deliver top-quality work every time. Shayne is professional, reliable, and extremely easy to work with. He gives clear estimates, shows up when he says he will, and his prep work is excellent. The condo came out looking crisp and clean with smooth coverage and sharp lines. He's also helped us on several Scarlett's Landscape projects, and he always coordinates well with other trades, keeps the jobsite tidy, and communicates throughout the process. Pricing is fair, workmanship is excellent, and he stands behind his work. Highly recommend Paint It Wright for anyone looking for a dependable, skilled painter in Ventura County.

It had been severely…read moreneglected for who knows how long before we moved in, and most of the exterior paint was bubbling, flaking, or peeling off. You could see layers of old paint. It was quite the project to tackle. My husband, Marshall, contacted Paint it Wright in summer of 2024 for a quote and Shane was able to make it out to our home really quickly. We appreciated Shane's integrity and professionalism throughout the whole process, especially given the task at hand! Shane gave us a very fair quote and went above and beyond to scrape and sand off the old messy paint job. All uneven areas were smoothed to perfection. The crew never left a mess at the end of the day and Paint it Wright really made our home look brand new! I would recommend Shane and his team to anyone who wants their house to look its best.
