Paul did a great job installing our new toilet today. He picked it up from Home Depot and installed it without any drama or issues. Nice guy and extremely capable. Price was reasonable. Highly recommend him and we are hanging onto his contact info for the future. read more

Nice work, Paul! I recommend Honey-Do and give a glowing 5 stars. Quick to respond, on time to appointment, clean work, nice guy. Paul replaced some janky fluorescent fixtures with new and sexy LED fixtures in our two closets, what a difference! Thanks, Honey-Do! read more

Paul rocks! On time, cost as promised, done perfectly. And then today I called him about a job and he convinced me I can do it myself with a product from Home Depot. read more

On time, courteous, fixed my GFCI circuit problem quickly. Couldn't ask for anymore.highly recommend.

Paul and crew did a great job. They were responsible and thorough. Our garage is newly painted, has new epoxy floor, and looks great. Recommend! read more

Paul helped to fix a running toilet, went to the store bought the right parts and fixed it the right way. He also fixed out broken patio roof. He is very professional and would highly recommend him. read more

Paul answered my request promptly and professionally. He was able to schedule reasonably priced work within 24 hours. Paul also was willing to do extras as I found them while he was at my house. I will continue to use his services for years. read more

I couldn't be happier with the work done at my condo! Paul is amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!

I had an appointment for this guy to replace the filters in my Reverse Osmosis under sink unit, yesterday. When it became apparent that he would not show up, I called the phone number, listed here on Yelp several times only to get a non-specific voicemail message, so I wasn't even sure if it was his number. I then tried replying to the email chain we had established for the meeting schedule. That was also not successful. Finally I used Yelp's "request a quote" link and then he did finally answer. He said, "didn't you get my previous message? My son is out sick and I can't make it today. Let's reschedule." The upshot I never got the supposed first message and it was only through my own efforts at communication that he replied at all. Why do I feel that he is lying and that it was a lame excuse? It is not without precedent. I note that on his Yelp reviews there are many glowing messages, all of 5 stars, and a few really bad 1 star messages. I could not find even one 4 star, 3 star or 2 star review. That in itself seems strange. It seems the one star bad reviews all have a common thread. This guy is a flake! He always has some lame excuse. One particularly interesting one was from him in Lake Tahoe on the appointed date of a job, and that he was in the emergency room up there. It's obvious that he blew off the job to go skiing and then got in touch with the client as an afterthought. The ironic thing is that I studied his reviews more closely while I was waiting for him to show up, yesterday. I had initially just gone with the couple of praising reviews, which percolate near the top, being most recent. After reading through page after page I noticed the pattern of his excuse making. I didn't want someone so unprofessional and unreliable in my residence. So I just said, "let's just forget it" in answer to his typical excuse email. I ended up doing the job myself. I also think that Yelp should closely examine all of his glowing 5 star reviews for authenticity. I think that many of them are fakes!! Here is an addendum: Ten minutes after I posted the above review I got an irate call from Paul. I can verify that his number is correct now, due to my caller ID. I can also confirm that he likes to shout and use very colorful language. Paul, please do not ever call me again!! read more

I sent a request for a quote and Paul responded within the hour. We needed to have two curtain rods hung and some help with trim painting and picture hanging. Paul arrived on time and did an excellent job for the price quoted. My wife and I are very happy with the work and will defintley be calling on Paul again. read more

Paul was very prompt on providing me with a quote for the work needed done to my house, responding in less than an hour. He came over today on time with short notice to assemble and install 4 cabinets on my garage walls! I must say, he is fast, yet very thorough with the work he performs! He did an excellent job and i will definitely use him again! Thanks Paul! read more

I really appreciated that Paul was responsive and available the same week! Paul's work was exactly what we wanted. We hired Paul to install custom floating shelves and decorations in the nursery and mount a leaning floor mirror to the wall. He was fast, courteous, and did a great job! We will definitely be hiring him for other jobs in the future. read more

I had an issue with my electrical outlets in one of my bathrooms not having any power run through them. I checked for any tripped circuit breakers, but none were tripped. I reset all of them anyway just to see if that would work. It did not work. So I requested quotes from many electricians here on Yelp by explaining my issue and wondering how much it would cost to fix. Most of them replied back by stating how much they charged, anywhere from $100 to $250. Paul stated he would charge his minimum of $125 for labor. I then replied back asking him if he had a sense of what the issue would be. He promptly replied back that the issue could be that a GFI electrical outlet (one of those outlets that have those "Test" and "Reset" buttons) needs to be reset. I wound up pressing all the test and reset buttons on every GFI outlet in my house. That worked! I had power again running through my bathroom outlets! The culprit was a GFI outlet in a different bathroom in my house. Go figure...I guess different outlets are connected to one another in different parts of the house. I was really appreciative of Paul's help and honesty! He could've been one of those other shady and greedy guys who wouldn't offer to help unless I paid them first, but he wasn't. He knew my problem was easy to fix and suggested a solution that I could try myself. He saved me a bunch of money! read more

Paul installed 3 toilets for us. He was up front about the cost and we were happy with the results. We even called him up again when we had blinds to install and again were happy once again with his work and always got prompt responses through Yelp. Would hire him again for our next job. read more

This review is for Paul at Honey Do HandyMan Services. I never hired him for work -- thank goodness. He was so incredibly rude and unprofessional in his communications with me, I ended up not hiring him. I contacted him in November 2015 to get a list of tasks done around our home. We were in no rush, so we hired him for December 18, 2015. I texted Paul on December 17, 2015 confirmed that he was coming the following day -- Paul texted yes. I took the day off from work, specifically to get these projects done for Paul on December 18, 2015. On December 18, 2015 -- he sends me a text from Lake Tahoe at the LAST MINUTE that he is in the E.R. and has to reschedule. Hmmm....sounds fishy.....but I reply that I hope he is feeling better. Extended skiing/snowboarding trip? Who's knows....but regardless, he says he has an opening on the following Tuesday or Wednesday. What about the E.R.??? Sounds like Paul is going to be A.O.K.??? I give Paul the benefit of the doubt, and reschedule for the following Tuesday. Even though I took a day off from work, due to his last minute cancellation. After talking about it, my husband and I decided to not hire Paul because his whole story about Tahoe and the E.R. sounded so random and unreliable, that we didn't want to hire someone we couldn't trust into our home. I texted Paul over 24 hours in advance cancel our Tuesday appointment. Figured that would give him more "time" to heal from the E.R. or recoup from his Tahoe trip. Whatever. He texted me back SCREAMING that I was inconsiderate for cancelling at the last minute and to never text him again. Ha! Are you kidding me???? We are so relieved we went with our gut instinct and not hire this rude and unprofessional person. I'm sure he would've messed up our projects around our home as well. We definitely dodged a bullet with Paul. read more

Short version: Paul was extremely unprofessional, did not stand by his work, and didn't fix our problem while still charging us $225 for what amounted to less than an hour of labor. Might be okay as a handyman but do not ask him to do any plumbing. Long version: I'm going to be very factual so there is no confusion about what kind of work you get from Paul from Honey Do!. Our toilet has been clogging for a while. We bought a new plunger, toilet friendly solvent, even a toilet snake, and though we could sometimes get it to clear, the problem would always return after a single use. We needed professional help so we looked around and came across Honey Do!. He said he could fix our toilet and do some other things we needed done around the house, sounded perfect! Paul came out and was very friendly and after some vigorous plunging was able to get the toilet to flush cleanly. I was surprised plunging did the trick, but it seemed to work, so we paid him and all was well, until we actually tried to use the toilet... After one use, it didn't work. No problem, Paul told us he had a 30 day guarantee, so we contacted him thinking he'd come see what the real problem was since clearly plunging is not the answer. That's when it went downhill, and downhill fast... First, he was going to charge us another $75 plus parts to fix it. When I brought up the 30 day guarantee, he said he already fixed the problem, and if it's broken again it's because we clogged it again, blaming us. He then got offending saying "you don't get to tell me how to run my company" and "you're wrong". He said he was done with me. So, I just said I would write this review, at which point he called me a "coward" and a "scumbag" and said he would blacklist me so no handyman would ever work for me again. So again, extremely unprofessional, does not stand by his work, did not fix the problem. I highly recommend going to someone else, especially for plumbing issues. read more

I was able to get an appointment within 2 days. Paul did a nice job, finished quickly, left the area cleaned up. Would call him again for my next job. read more

Yeah. Paul's nice. But he is irresponsible, unreliable, and his work is average at best; horrible at worst. As direct result of his and his "assistant's" work, we are out thousands of dollars. They RUINED our unsealed brick deck by pouring and dripping Thompson's Sealer on it while over-applying the sealer to the pergola above (also ruined). Claire B. In Saratoga: I should have heeded your review. It might as well have been written by me. Initially: I got a fairly quick response from him after first contact. But then it was a series of emails and attempts to nail down a meet date that resulted in too many days going by - and a total no show (waited around for hours; Paul never showed). Finally, he comes and proceeds to ruin the deck, ruin the pergola, and slap some boards on a wall in the garage that looked like a third grader did it. I had another handyman come out and assess; he laughed at the work. Paul kept stating that he stands behind his work and expressed frustration at the destroyed deck (completely blamed it on the assistant - but isn't the work of the assistant ultimately his responsibility?) and then told me he would make it right. It took weeks for him to make time (arguably, it was circumstances out of his control). During the weeks that he was unable to address the project and damages, efforts were made by us to fix the deck and the cushions (the sealant had dripped all over the deck furniture as well). We spent over 15 hours on it. Our money; our time. There was no way to extract the sealant from porous brick. When he finally set a time to come over to truly assess and discuss restitution, he didn't show. He. Didn't. Show. Again. He will claim that he did come. Apparently, he arrived nearly three hours after the scheduled time and tried to say that he was here and that he'd come to fix the situation. Ummmm... No. Your scheduled time was three hours earlier. Incredibly unprofessional. After sitting around for two hours, we left the house. Although damage control and/or replacement will run in the thousands, we simply asked him to return half of the amount paid to him. Never heard back from the guy. read more

Paul was amazing!! He arrived on time, explained what he was going to do with replacing my garbage disposal, worked very efficiently, and didn't take long at all. My garbage disposal has been broken since I moved in half a year ago, and Paul made sure not only the disposal was working optimally, but also checked and cleaned out the hoses to ensure no other problems would arise. Top all of this off, and Paul helped move a filing cabinet up a flight of stairs at no charge!!!! Who does that? I am going to bring Paul back to replace a thermostat soon too. I am so impressed with Paul and his work. Top notch service. read more

Paul has done various maintenance work around my home to include helping me move. He has a wide variety of skills. He is very thorough and completes tasks and projects in a timely manner. The quality of his work is outstanding. He is extremely reliable, friendly, professional, trustworthy and highly competent. He is a great guy, I would trust him with any future projects or home improvement I need done. I highly recommend Paul and his Handyman services. read more

I had two jobs that needed to get worked, one electrical (shorted light fixture) and one plumbing (change out water supply line that had a rusted/corroded connection and replace bathroom sink faucet). Fortunately, Paul and his son were available to fix both (including going to pick up all material needed). They were prompt, fast, friendly and efficient and I will definitely be calling them for jobs in the future. Highly recommend, thanks again! read more

Paul is a very nice guy (which has value) but he came without his truck so he had to leave my old vanity in my garage. This would have been fine if he came back to finish when he said he would but he no showed and didn't call for our next appointment. I had arranged to be home from work so this was really frustrating. It was only after I called him 2 hours past our appointment that he let me know he wasn't coming. He sort of apologized and said his car was in the shop and he forgot to tell me. He offered to reschedule later that week but I decided to cancel due to the flakiness. I had that old vanity with nails sticking out in my garage for weeks. read more

Paul did a great job assembling and mounting 4 cabinets in our garage. From the beginning he always responded to my yelp emails within 8 hours. Don't try and call him, the best way is to communicate through yelp directly. We set a time to meet and he first came and looked at the job and then gave an estimate. When he showed up for the job, he was on time and prepared with the parts we discussed previously. As you may guess, assembling 4 large cabinets is not an easy task. Paul easily completed this within half a day and mounted them to the studs at the same time. I recommend Paul for any job around the house that might be to much for someone who doesn't have the time to do it. In fact, I will be using Paul for future projects around the house. read more

I can't say enough amazing things about this company. They are completely reliable, professional, honest, trustworthy, dependable, and get the job done in a timely and efficient manner. I used them for starters, to repair some drywall damage, which led to a painting job, and some plumbing work. Since then, they've done lots of "handyman" work around my house. I appreciated so much how quickly the job was done, and the affordable prices! I would recommend Honey Do Handyman to anyone looking to get the job done right the first time! read more

Who's giving these guys all that 5 star reviews? Friends and family? I've been calling and leaving messages for 2 weeks, and no one answers or return calls! read more

Paul came on a short notice to fix up some stuff in my home. There was some problem in the plumbing in the bathroom showers in my house, the water pressure was really low. While all the other handymen gave a quote of $500+, Paul charged me $50 an hour and finished up plumbing and repaired my ceiling fan and a fixed up a few holes in the wall in under 4 hours. I highly recommend him without any reservations. read more

Paul is very prompt, professional and does great work. He helped with quite a few things with our house like electrical outlets, painting, curtain rods, cabinet pulls, etc. We were pleased with his work and would highly recommend his work to a friend. read more

I recently contacted Paul for his services for moving assistance as I relocated down south. He arrived promptly and took down my bed frame, curtain rod and repaired holes in the wall. He was friendly and very thorough with his work. I wish I could have brought him with me to help me move! I would definitely recommend him for handyman services. Thanks Paul! read more

Thank you Paul for installing my new garbage disposal, and fixing my kitchen light fixture. You were very knowledgeable and quick with your work. I appreciate that you were available the same day, and your fee was reasonable. I will definitely be contacting you for future home repair projects. read more

I moved recently to a tiny 1 bedroom in Palo Alto. I needed significant help putting together 2 HUGE ikea storage systems, shelving systems, and hanging up paintings. Because he did such an excellent job, I asked him to return to also paint my front room. First, his communication is fantastic. He communicated before, during, and after all of the requested work. This ensured that I was satisfied with his timeliness, progress, and end product. Second, he was polite & thoughtful of my space. I was never concerned about my new home or even items around him. He cleaned after each project. He also helped me brainstorm ideas to manage & organize my stuff! Third, most important, I TRUST him. Because of work I had to unexpectedly leave Paul at my new home alone. I came home to all of the work beautifully completed. I just felt so fortunate to be able to trust someone I barely know to help me even when I wasn't there to supervise. He is my go to handy person from now on! read more

I found Paul here on Yelp. Communication was great by text messages, he replied quick and scheduled appointments promptly. He applied rust encapsulator on our roof window frame (not very easy to reach!). Then he came back a second time for caulking, putting some bolts on the celling and screws on the wall. He was very professional, honest and did a great job. We'd definitely recommend him! read more

Paul Cardona of Honey do is a fantastic handyman! He has worked on many projects in my home on many occasions. Everything he has repaired has lasted! He is punctual, creative, and professional in every way. I cannot recommend him high enough, he is fabulous! read more

Thorough, professional and neat work! I called Paul for help in installing Ring Doorbell pro and Ring floodlight camera. He promptly called back and asked me a few relevant questions. Showed up on time and and both the installs were perfect! I highly recommend and will hire him again! read more

I initially contacted Paul from a list of many other handymen. I had a toilet leakage on the second floor which made its way to the first floor ceiling. Paul was responsive and provided me with clear expectations to solving my problem with an estimate of cost. He gave me a time he would arrive and he was able to asses the problem and even made his way to the local home deport to purchase all the supplies need to clean the leak and patch the ceiling. In the end-- Paul did great work and he's a nice guy too with reasonable price. A hard working professional trying to grow his business. I will be using him again. (June 2015) read more

I contacted Paul for help during an office move. We had a limited amount of time to move a conference TV and wall-mounted rack server. Paul disassembled the items from the old location and installed it at our new office location. He did a great job and we were very happy. We also had him come the day after our move to help with finishing touches around the office (hanging pictures, moving furniture, etc.) He's now our #1 guy to call when we need help around the office. read more

Paul recently did all the necessary finishing work on my garage. His work is very orderly and clean and proceeds without a hitch. He is thoughtful and detail oriented. He is a good listener and uses his experience to understand the scope of the job and what considerations may lay behind it. His quotes are well considered and cost effective. Paul also demonstrated that he has the ability to work with the homeowner in making changes on the fly, as he did with me when we decided to add extra cabinets on another wall. Because he had made a template for the other cabinets he installed, it was a snap to go right ahead and put up the others with a minimum of effort. As other people mention, he is very comfortable in his own shoes and has a quiet assurance about himself. His work reflects that. As a former construction person myself, I found in Paul's work the little extra touches that a true professional includes, such a running a bead of caulk around all joints and seams before painting is begun. Without any hesitation, I would recommend Paul for any type of work around the house. We will definitely use his services again. read more

Paul, is a professional handyman. Called when he was going to be later than anticipated. Worked conscientiously, and did a fantastic job. What more can a homeowner ask for? Followed up with a text, asking if we were content with the job.... who does that anymore? 100 percent recommend him, but kind of reluctantly, because I want him to be available to do future work for me, but he will undoubtedly be swamped with business because he is a gem. Hire this guy. read more

Highly recommend. High quality work at a fair price. Would defiantly hire Paul again.

We hired Paul to help us with some odds and ends for our move out. He was very quick to respond and was available to schedule us in with short notice. He did a great job with everything we asked him to do (install mini blinds, remove outdoor window shades, patch up holes). We also asked him to install a kitchen to garage door, which was a bit tricky to do, but he managed to do it well. I would definitely hire him again for any other handy work I might need to do in the future. read more

I contacted Paul to assemble and hang a cabinet for me. He showed up on time and did a great job! While he was there I also asked him if he could take a look at my ceiling fan. I had a light bulb that had broke inside of it and could not remove it. He fixed it for me and even offered to install the new light bulb at no extra charge. He was polite and very patient since I wasn't exactly sure where I wanted to hang the cabinet. He held it up for me in different places so I could figure out where I wanted it to go. I will definitely use Paul's handy man services again in the future!! read more
