I want to share my experience because it might save someone else a lot of money. My HVAC system stopped working, so I called two licensed HVAC companies. Both of them told me the entire system needed to be replaced and quoted me around $18,000. I wanted a second opinion and hoped to save some money. I searched online for a handyman and found Honest Victor at the top of the results. I called him, and he said he would come the next day. He arrived on time and spent about 45 minutes diagnosing the problem. He told me the blower switch, had burned out and that he would return the next day with the replacement part. To be honest, I was skeptical. I kept thinking, "How can two licensed HVAC companies say I need a whole new system, but this handyman says it is just a switch?" The next day, he came back, replaced the switch, turned the system on, and everything worked perfectly. The total cost was: Part: $125 Installation: $150 Total: $275 I was so grateful because he saved me thousands of dollars. I gave him $500 because I felt he deserved it after saving me from replacing my entire HVAC system. He said I had given him too much money, but I told him, "I can't take it because it isn't mine. You earned it." Honest people like this are hard to find. Thank you, Honest Victor, for your honesty and professionalism. read more

HonestVictor - HVOC - Handyman Near Me - Fremont, California

This guy is so so unreliable. Dont waste your time with him! He responded to my message 2 weeks ago with a quote for a clear job. He came and checked the job on the day after and increased the estimate. We accepted the new quote to have the job done asap because we are having a big gathering and wanted the job to be done prior to that . He dragged us all the way to today morning with the excuse of being busy with other jobs ! He just showed up and started drawing excuses not to do the job and then left !!! Such a waste of time and energy read more

The team provided outstanding service in a super fast time & very reasonable price. I explained the issue with my son's bathroom wall (moldy). Bector offered me the solution & the problem was beautifully fixed in less than 2 hours. He didn't try to change the negotiated price & even did some extra cleaning/ caulking of the tub for free. can't wait to get all the other maintenance issues fixec by this company. read more

I'm glad my landlord contacted Victor to fix a leak in our bathroom shower.

I pinged Victor for repairing a dent in the drywall in one of the bedrooms. Victor replied promptly, gave an everything-included price. On the day of the service, the crew showed up on time (how often can you say that these days) and took exactly the amount of time that was quoted to me before. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the job. And the price was very reasonable. Highly recommended. read more

I contacted victor for removing a stair railing from my home for installing stairlift. it had to be removed at a specific time on the day of the install. removing earlier means my handicapped wife cannot climb the stair. Once i explained the situation to victor, he promised he will find time to do the job, even though he was busy that day. He asked lot of questions to clearly understand what needed to be done. He came 15 minutes early and finished the job on time. The stairlift install went through smoothly thanks to victor. His communication was clear, he was punctual, very understanding and helpful. His quote was very reasonable. I will definitely hire him again for my future needs. read more

He's not honest. Will pretend to give you a low quote, but will make excuses that he sent the wrong text-wrong person after making arrangements. Then will give you triple the quote. Be wary of this person read more

Victor did an amazing job. Our bathroom shower valve was leaking. He came out and gave us a very, very reasonable quote. He removed the slab without breaking it, fixed the issue, completed the plumbing, and put everything back together. He also reinstalled the shower door and did the caulking. It looks amazing. Here are the pictures. Highly recommend him. Very reasonable, very responsive, and always on time. 6:16 AM read more

Victor was quick and fast with fixing the 3 doors that would not latch. He was accommodating and his prices were very fair! I definitely would recommend Victor, I will be keeping him for my future projects and handyman work around the house. read more

These guys are amazing! Their team of 3 got more done in 3 hours than most teams would in an entire day. Fast, efficient, knowledgeable and professional. They pulled out an ancient stove/microwave unit and installed a brand new stove with a new hood fan unit, all while painting the kitchen, replacing a smoke detector and removing an old defunct trash compactor and installing a custom cupboard and drawer in its place. They cleaned up nicely afterwards and hauled away the old appliances. To say we were happy is an understatement. We were totally blown away. Can't recommend them enough. Great friendly service at extremely reasonable pricing. The owner was there as part of his team and even gave us a (used but perfectly working) counter top microwave for free. Beautiful work!! read more

Called to see if he could help with a fan that had detached from the ceiling casing. When I told him he said that the motor was probably not working and needed to be changed. He also asked, how do you know that it's detached? Because I can see it! It is hanging from the wires! He spoke to me like I was an idiot. NO THANKS. read more

We had a great experience with Victor. He fixed the damaged drywall behind our toilet caused by a leak from the toilet tank screws and replaced the toilet, and everything turned out perfect. He even went above and beyond by caulking the tub to prevent any future damage. The workmanship was excellent, and he took the time to explain the issue and make sure there were no leaks before finishing. His price was very reasonable, and his coworkers were professional and efficient. Highly recommend this team for any drywall or plumbing work. We would definitely hire them again! read more

We had a water leak in our house during the Christmas holidays. Everyone who checked out the damages quoted something ridiculous and scared us with mold growth and how everything (incl. the flooring) needed replacement. Victor was the only person who gave us a true picture of what the issue was. He truly lived up to his name of Honest Victor by explaining everything and was very reasonable with his price. We got to know that he is not just a handyman, but does full scale construction as his main gig. He showed us pictures and suggested improvements that we could do to our house, gradually. I highly recommend Victor and his team. You can trust him a 100% to do the right thing. read more

I recently had our patio roof replaced by Victor and overall, I am very satisfied with the work.

Overall I recommend Victor as a reliable home contractor. They did a great job and I would definitely hire them for our future projects. read more

It came out great and I couldn't be happier! read more

We hired Victor to help put up our sunshade in our backyard. He and his team did a really excellent job and we are very pleased! My wife and I had a vision of a certain Zen like design of how we wanted the sunshade to be centered around the Buddha statue in our yard and flow smoothly across with a gentle slope towards the trees. However our hands were not capable of matching the creativity of our imagination. Enter Victor and his team! We explained to him what we wanted and asked him if what we wanted was too difficult? But Victor assured us that this was a piece of cake and that he had built full custom houses from scratch so this was easy breezy! And a couple of hours later he delivered!! The shade is now the centerpiece of our backyard, flows beautifully like we wanted and we are enjoying the summer outside! And for all this custom work and great attitude, Victor is very reasonable in price and aims for a long term relationship and opportunities. Well he won our business for sure! Thank you Victor! read more

Victor and his team came through!! Victor was quick to respond to our messages/questions via phone or text. Not only did he give us an excellent price, but he gave us a clear breakdown of what the cost consisted of. Victor was extremely flexible with our work schedules and made the time to meet with us at a time that worked for us. Our project consisted of changing our bathroom flooring, installing a new medicine cabinet, and vanity. Throughout the process, he listened to what we wanted and checked in with us about the logistics and details. There were two other guys that assisted with the flooring, and wow, they were so detailed in the installation process, from cutting the tile, to using the proper color grout. We are beyond happy with Victor and his team, they did an excellent job. If you are looking for a trustworthy, efficient, and detail oriented Handyman, look no further, Victor is your guy! We will be calling him soon for future projects read more

Victor arrived on time. He did my cupboard fittings and dryer vent. He finished his work on time and did good job.

Victor did a great job fixing our water faucet in the kitchen in Fremont, he and his colleague were professional and did the job on time which was really useful for us and the water is not leaking anymore read more

Victor quoted my job and demanded cash payment. I said alright but I wanted a written invoice. He replied forget it I don't carry a computer in his truck. I said that's not my problem. He said forget it get someone else. He had me waiting two different days and put me off. Not a good way to conduct a business. He never called me to let me know he wasn't coming. The lease he could do is call me and let me know he wasn't coming to do my job. Very unprofessional. read more

I called in Victor because one of the other handyman who was supposed to come never turned up. I found him on Yelp. And I could not be more happy with HonestVictor's work. I had to move one of the cabinets in the kitchen to the garage. I contacted multiple people on Yelp, and I'd say Victor's price was one of the best. He also communicated very well right from the time I contacted him until the day when they came in to do the job. In spite of a short notice, his turn-around time to get the job done was very quick. I have no complaint about his workmanship. I'd definitely recommend HonestVictor! read more

Victor and his partner were very professional and willing to take on a difficult canopy build. The canopy itself had shitty instructions, knowing that the instructions were trash, that did not deter them from completing the job. I appreciate them doing the correct measurements and along the way letting me know that there was going to be some complications. They had to do what was necessary to make everything workout. A 3-4 hour job turned into a 9 hour job but they stuck through it and completed it. I would 100% recommend them again. read more

Great guys - great work!! Cannot say enough! Responsive, prompt, flexible, efficient, kind, and with an awesome end-result overall. Victor and Juan were great! Victor responded to my message in a matter of minutes and came the next morning! Victor and Juan came COVID-prepared with masks and took off their shoes. They arrived 10 minutes early and were very professional and very polite! I had them come to install 2 closet systems and I am very happy with the work. They were quick and efficient but took the time to make sure it was exactly what I wanted. I am so grateful for how detailed they were with everything! I will definitely be having them come back for all other projects in the future!! read more

I had a great experience working with Victor and his team. I had an electrical issue requiring some parts that aren't readily available.

Well i dont know how to start this review. Friday our shower faucet broke and had to shut off water. Saturday morning tried many numbers and landed on Victor number and left a msg. It was tough to get anyone to pick. couple guys answered but were not available till Monday and almost booked another for few hundred $$$. Victor called me back and asked me what the problem is? I explained him and this was his reply..... "My friend, I'm sorry its tough to get anyone on Saturday and plumbers are going to charge u double since u already told them u turned off ur main...i can do one thing... i can help you over the phone and why dont you fix it?...Wow...never heard that line......he was like you can do it if you can play with a bit of tools...which of course i can and that's exactly i ended up doing. checked few youtube videos as suggested by victor...bought some special tools and started the job and fixed it...Victor guided me on critical steps where i have to be careful and voila. took couple of hours but satisfying and most important found a very good person in the process. Thank you victor ....you are on my list for goto handyman. read more

This review is for Honest Victor Handyman, they did an amazing job when our water heater failed and it was leaking. They were booked, but out of compassion found space for us and resolved our issue with work that was done by code regulations at a VERY GOOD PRICE! The company is extremely honest and explains even where to buy quality materials to get the most durability out of the inventory installed. Victor and his team made multiple trips to Home Depot and purchased additional items required for the installation and refused to take additional money for the items they bought out of their own money. They said "The amount we initially quoted is the price we stand by". Amazing customer service! Other estimates for the same work were as much as DOUBLE the price. Also, Honest Victor Handyman do not rush their work because they want to make sure it is done correctly and efficiently the first time; everything was completed in a few hours and they ran multiple tests to make sure the equipment was working smoothly. I will definitely be contacting them for more services in the future as it is hard to find a honest and caring company like this one. I recommend them 100% and it is worth giving them a shot as they can do a lot more than replace water heaters. Very respectful and ethical people that I truly appreciate for helping our Family when we needed someone to help us out. read more
