From start to finish, they were attentive, detail-oriented, and took great pride in their work. A special shoutout to Marcos, who was fantastic throughout the project. He patiently answered all of our questions, demonstrated exceptional carpentry skills, and even helped repair several structural areas that we discovered had rotted over time. His craftsmanship and dedication to doing the job right were truly impressive. The quality of work exceeded our expectations, and it's clear that this team takes pride in delivering excellent results. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for skilled professionals who care about both quality and customer satisfaction.

This business is a joke. Extremely unresponsive and unprofessional. Should rename to sloppy or…read morecareless handyman. I reached out to them via their Instagram and texted them per the instructions on the website. They don't answer the phone. Correspondence via texts was painfully slow with 2-3 days taking to respond to one text at a time and to make a decision on whether they wanted to take a straightforward bathroom remodel job. To make things even worse, they asked if I was working with a designer as one of their requirements. So Fancy. Due to their unresponsiveness, when pressed to get back to me if they want to take a project, they said they are not interested. So much for providing unmatched customer service. A contractor's responsiveness is a direct reflection of their organizational skills and how they will manage your project. Poor communication early on is a leading indicator that milestones will be missed, crews will not show up, and the job will drag on. Stay away from these guys.

He was the very first to respond to our request with an actual estimate --- when I also supplied multiple photos -- while 3 others wanted to first evaluate in person with an additional appointment, and last 1 said they did not actually fix leaking faucets despite that being listed on their business profile. My husband and I asked Michael after his initial very fair estimate if he perhaps could also fix some other issues for us at an additional cost -- a loose house siding board inside our light well, and two loose plumbing bits, a kitchen faucet and a bathroom sink hot water handle. He thought it best to come out for the initial cellar sink fix, and then evaluate the other 3 tasks in person, which seemed very reasonable. He made quick work of the cellar faucet, handily fixing our amateur attempted earlier repair into a straightened and 100% water-tight fix. Then he climbed into our awkward light well, only accessible through a waist-height open window, jacked up a ladder, inspected the siding and determined the loose board was luckily only a cosmetic cover for the original 1905 redwood siding, reattached the loose board and caulked the edges for good measure. Then he promptly fixed our loose kitchen faucet and wobbly bathroom hot water handle. I cannot recommend him enough -- 5 stars all around -- on time, friendly, thorough, gung-ho for awkward work fixes like our light well, and very fair pricing. I almost want more stuff to break in this old house to hire him again. Two definite thumbs up!

We sent our kitchen assembly instructions ahead of time to make sure they were aware. My overall sense is that Carlos is fairly capable and experienced but either his team or him are not as careful as we had damages to our finished wood toe kicks and our lacquer cabinets looked like they had been dragged over nails as they were being assembled. I didn't appreciate that they made 0 mention of it at all and I had to point it out. As the homeowner, I essentially had to baby sit them for 5 days through the install since it felt like they were incapable / unwilling to read the kitchen cabinet installation instructions in detail and I caught several mistakes early on during the cabinet assembly that made me hesitant to leave it unattended. Carlos's attitude was particularly bad through the entire experience as well. Always made it seem like we were inconveniencing him or being too nit picky even if we caught some mistakes. At one point, he even threatened to quit after the assembly but before the installation simply because he had underestimated the complexity of the project. We did have a 1 day delay due to some plumbing / electrical issues but that's pretty typical as far as kitchen cabinet installations go AFAIK. In the end, they were able to get all the kitchen cabinets installed, albeit with a lot of effort from my end due to the more custom nature of the project. The price was affordable and the work was solid (minus the scratches) but for me the bad attitude wasn't worth it.

He doesn't do plumbing, but recommended a plumber that he trusted and partnered with over the years. After the pipe was repaired, Ron proceeded to patch up the wall and prep it for painting. His professionalism throughout this multi-day experience was very positive - he shared his thoughts on what happened and why. I appreciated his candor and friendliness. The price we paid for the work was fair and very competitive, something I greatly appreciated.

Excellent Gentleman. He installed our new redwood fence - Absolutely perfect transaction. He worked out every detail prior to the installation with us. We are so impressed. All the neighbors rave about how great it looks. His positive attitude and work ethic is awesome. He came back the next day to check that we were satisfied with every detail. He removed all the old fence and helped me with the yard area around the fence. Totally perfect installation. He handled every aspect professionally. I cannot say enough great things about his work,. My new fence will be solid and beautiful for the next 50 years. I thank him for all effort extended in my and my husbands behalf. He is our "Go To Guy" for all projects in the future.

I dealt with Mark Gilman for a project painting a bathroom after an internet company did some…read moredamages to the skylight area while installing equipment on the roof. Mark was poor with communication, showed up at my house on the wrong date unannounced before we had the chance to get the paint, then kept me waiting over two months only (he told me he was booked up the entire month of June) to finally return my call telling me he's not doing the work and to find a new vendor. He was very rude to me on the phone both times we spoke telling me he didn't work for me but for the internet company and telling me to check my emails - of which I did; we had no confirmed date (also attached to review). If you're an Alameda homeowner looking for someone reliable and professional you've come to the wrong place. Alameda Home Repair is a very poor choice. The attached photo that perfectly describes the level of service you can expect from Mark and his team. In my email I follow up to our phone call about picking dates and his response is "we talked on the phone" My only thoughts are my boyfriend and I were the ones getting the bathroom painted and perhaps he didn't like the fact I was gay? I can't really figure this whole situation out.

I run a floral business out of our detached garage. With daylight savings on the way, and a few, late nights ahead of me, I decided to finally change the flood light on the front of the garage which has been non-functional since we moved in. Anyway, in changing the fixture, I let the wires touch and short circuited the whole garage (I know I should have turned off the power first... I actually thought I had!) When I finished the job and went inside to our old knob and tube fuse box to try to turn everything back on... nothing worked. My husband and I fiddled around with it for a few hours, but the flowers in my cooler were starting to wilt and I needed help, fast. Enter Mark. I found him on yelp as a local handy man and called in a panic. He was out of town, but wanted to hear about what was going on anyway. He confirmed I just blew a fuse and after hearing about the age of our home, had a suspicion there was another fuse box outside the house that ran the garage. HE WAS RIGHT! There was a locked box on the side of the house that we had never investigated. I broke off the lock and discovered a fuse box! Flipped the fuse on, and voila. My day was saved. I cannot thank Mark enough for taking time out of his travels to walk me through this repair in what was, to me, a desperate situation. He demonstrated kindness, curiosity, and respect. I am so grateful!
