We needed a new stairway to connect one level of our back yard to the lower level where the fruit tree is. I searched for potential contractors on Yelp and found Oscar the Handyman. I called him to see if he would be interested in my project and he came over the next day. I described how I wanted to use steel stringers and have a handrail. Oscar suggested a concrete foudation at the top and bottom. He provided an estimate the next day. Oscar did a great job! The stairs were well made, look great (see pictures), and the cost was reasonable. And with a helper, he built them in one day. I enjoyed working with Oscar and will use him for other projects in the future. read more

I can't rave about Oscar enough--he is amazing! I gave him an inspo photo of a custom arch with custom shelves, and he completely blew me away with the final result. He executed it far beyond my expectations. He also cleaned up my partition walls I had, giving it a much nicer and cleaner finish. If you're looking for someone professional and incredibly reliable, Oscar is your guy! read more

Working with Oscar was fantastic. He provided a good faith estimate and stuck to it, even after coming months later virtually last minute. He understood the ask and was able to manage detailed add-ons through the job. Would 100% hire him again read more

A couple weeks ago I was really happy with the quick work that Oscar did to fix a light fixture in my kitchen. And this week he did an amazingly skilled job at replacing our outdoor stairs. He is also quick, efficient, and clean. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing any type of work done. read more

Oscar did an amazing job! He removed and replaced a shower door. The new one looks great!! Thank you so much. read more

After we had a large, diseased oleander removed near the side of our house, the bin area it hid was clearly visible from the street. The bin area had become uneven and is next to outdoor steps leading to the back of the house. We told Oscar that we would like the oleander stump removed, the bin area more level, a fence to hide the bins, and a railing to make the steps safer. He came up with a great plan that did it all. He and his assistant, Brian, made the bin area more level and larger by about 15 square feet. The fence turned out great, and he crafted the railing so it matches original railings on the front of the house perfectly. Both the fence & railing are securely anchored. Oscar's price was very reasonable, and they finished all that work in two days! read more

Oscar is great! When we have a bunch of things to be fixed, we call Oscar! He is very honest (often doing simple fixes where we thought it would be hard/expensive), reasonably priced, and does great work! read more

Oscar does great work at a great price! We used him for (what I thought) was a very complicated job, removing part of a staircase and putting in sliding glass doors, and it looks great. Many handymen would not agree to do it, saying it was too complex or they did not have the know-how, but Oscar came through for us! Recently we used him to put in overhead garage storage racks, and he also did a great job on that. Communication can be slow -- sometimes requiring multiple texts and eventually needed to call to get a response, and had some issues with him cancelling in the past, but that did not happen in our most recent work with him. The final product/price makes it worth working with him and I will hire him again! read more

Oscar provided exactly what I wanted repairing a broken bathroom cabinet. He was on time and completed the task in less than a half hour. Highly recommend Oscar!!! read more

My toilet kept whistling at all hours of the day and night. Really annoying. Reached out to Oscar for a fix. - He was very fast and came same day - Took time to explain that it was because flapper seal was leaking, leading to toilet always flushing itself. - Actually charged less in end than his actual estimate. Will definitely be doing business with again. Very fast and cordial. It was a pleasure doing business with. read more

Oscar was awesome to work with on my small DIY bathroom tiling project! I wanted to get some tiling work on my bathroom and it wasn't a huge job but needed someone who was willing to work with me. After putting in the request, Oscar was on-site the next day to take a look. I had an idea in mind and Oscar showed me previous jobs he'd worked on and we went from there. Once I'd decided on my design, tile and grout we scheduled the work but due to shipping delays we pushed out nearly 3 month. Oscar even kept the same quote once we were able to get scheduled. Responsive, professional, and prompt - Oscar really hit a home run with my small project. Happy customer here and I'll likely be back to have him do my walk-in shower and flooring needs in the future. Don't let the the big box flooring and tiling stores overprice/inflate your project costs, I'd go with Oscar again in a heart beat! read more

Great service, quality, and value. He replaced a kitchen faucet. Job went so smoothly. Don't hesitate to contact him for a project.

I needed a laundry room in my house finished- and what I immediately loved about Oscar was that he had ideas on how to complete the job that I wouldn't have thought of, in order to complete the job the "right" way, and to end up with a beautiful and durable outcome. With 20 years of building experience, he certainly delivered! Off the bat, I appreciated that he was speedy to come out and do a consult, and was timely in delivering a fair and reasonable quote. His breadth of skill and expertise will help you accomplish anything you need- He built a foundation to raise the floor (it was a sunken room), extended some plumbing, reversed the swing of the outer door, finished drywall, textured, painted, put flooring in, hung a shelf and a clothes line, and reattached my washer + dryer. He is a fantastic carpenter, and did custom cabinets to cover some unsightly pipes. Oscar is a great communicator, and is an earnest hard worker. I trusted him from start to finish due to his outcome-focused ethic and intent to do the job in a way the owner is on board with. I will definitely hire him for my next job- Get on his waitlist sooner than later- it sure fills up quickly! read more

Oscar the Handyman - Light fixture installation - Handyman Near Me

We hired Oscar for some condo complex outdoor repairs and are very pleased with his work. He was skilled, professional, and courteous. Of all the Yelp quotes I requested, he was the only one who was able to do both repairs (welding and fencing) and one of the few who replied quickly. His pricing is also very competitive. He scheduled an on-site visit for the estimate within a few days and scheduled the repair a few weeks later. Both jobs were done professionally and quickly (half a day's work). For the welding, he even color-matched the handrail paint for us. For the fencing, he installed a temporary post as we requested (since the fence is partly shared with the neighboring complex) but also took the time to explain the true source of the problem and recommended our next steps for a permanent fix. We would not hesitate to hire him again for future repairs. read more

Oscar is a really good handy man He really knows whats hes doing Very recomended if you need Any kind of work in your home. read more

Long story short, he completely screwed us over. He knew we needed a few projects done before leaving the state. A week before we are supposed to leave, he no shows on us. Gives a lousy apology and says he forgot to tell us that he couldn't come that day he can't come out for another three days. Then informs us that the project (building a simple box around an A/C) will take multiple days to complete and $700 just for the box. Not even to finish installing and painting it. WHAT AN ABSOLUTE JOKE. I went to Home Depot and for $121 and 4 hours of my time the job is done. Also, he did come out and patch some holes in the ceiling from lighting a few weeks ago. One of the patch jobs is already cracked and looks horrible. But I guess we are stuck with it since he won't answer any of my phone calls. Very unprofessional and doesn't do a good job even when you can get him to show up. read more

Do yourself a favor and hire this man. I needed my bathroom remodeled and he did an amazing job at an amazing price. He was honest, responsive, professional, nice, and above all did quality work. He replaced pretty much everything--- toilet, vanity, flooring, shower door, shower wall tiles, fan install, vanity lights/power switches, medicine cabinet. Relatively small bathroom and he completed the job in 5 days. He took care to clean up any mess/dust and left the site organized each day. I will definitely be using him again for my guest bathroom reno in the future. read more

I really wish I could keep Oscar the Handyman a secret because he is just amazing. But alas, I have to share how amazing his services are. I asked for quotes from 10 different vendors. A few didn't reply, many said they couldn't do all the things we asked and the ones that did overcharged for their work. Oscar was one of the few who could do everything we asked at a reasonable price. Not only is Oscar honest, punctual, detail oriented, and hard working, his work speaks for itself. We asked him to repair our recessed lighting (which was no easy task), replace our garbage disposal, and repair our fascia on our roof. All three tasks were done with care and detail. We couldn't even tell that the fascia is repaired because it blended so well with the original frame. I'll also add that he has really good manners- he took great care to not mess up our lawn and even cleaned up after himself and disposed everything properly. I highly recommend Oscar and highly recommend booking him well in advance because his business is booming (rightly so!). read more

I was looking forward to giving Oscar a 5-star rating like so many other people but when there was a problem with his work, he chose to not take responsibility, and when I was willing to share repair costs, he ghosted me. I hired him to remove our asphalt driveway and replace with cement. I did this despite there being no references for him doing this type of work, but with all the glowing reports from his other work, and his assurance he could do it, we agreed to his fair price for the work. He couldn't. The finish is wavy, with a significant problem noted after the cement was dry and I could check drainage which directed the water toward our foundation rather than toward the street drain. His response was that he leveled the cement in the same manner as the asphalt, but we never had this drainage problem. I don't know if I noted how the water must drain toward the street drain, though it is standard to direct water away from the house. He offered to bring in a consultant and we agreed to meet again, but on my follow-up, he never responded. When I threatened a bad review and small claims court, he surfaced again but only to disappear again. I hired another contractor to fix the problem, and while I opted against legal action (life is too short), felt obligated to share my experience. I liked him, but made a mistake having him do this work. Hire with caution. read more

We called Oscar desperate because our ceiling fan stopped working. Oscar answered and said he was working on another job all day but would stop by after to fix the fan. As soon as I hung up with him, the shelves in my closet completely collapsed!!!! Oscar showed up promptly, at the time he said he would, and with the parts we needed. I showed him the closet and asked if he'd be able to help with that as well even though it was a last minute request and he said "sure, no problem". He stayed and completed both jobs! His work was excellent as well as the pricing. I'm so glad we found a local handyman, as we'll be calling him for all our work around the house! Also, I had spend that morning trying to find an electrician or handyman to help out and Oscar was the only one who offered to stop by. I called at least 8 other companies beforehand. A++! read more

Very disappointed wasting my time waiting weeks for Oscar to get back to me with a quote as promised. I know business is good for handymen, but being respectful of peoples time and communication is important so beware. I was quoted prices, sent them pics and reserved two days for the work. I bought paint on Sunday to be sure he had supplies to make the most of his time and he knew I was taking time off work Monday day morning just to get him started. When he arrived, he looked at the job, and I showed him several other areas that could also use work in future - tile in bathrooms, some electrical, other paint, etc. I was really surprised he had no intent to do any of the work and just came for a quote- but did not tell me that before. He left that Monday am saying he'd have a quote later and be back next day- 2 days blocked out. Instead, I'm told he's not available till January now? And still did not send quote! Never said he was not interested in job- nothing. Total waste of time. Total ghost... read more

Everything looks great and I will call him again for my next project. read more
