The delays cost me a fortune... ..and his long disappearances almost gave ME a nervous breakdown!!!! read more

I have been using Plan B Handyman services for severall years, now. Recently we quiped about the first day Frank came to my home. It was a Superbowl Sunday. A jasmine vine and trellis had come down and was blocking the path. But Frank was there to help me when several others had complained about not being able to have the time. It was a quick fix and Frank was able to see most of the game. Frank has helped me many times since then. I feel that he is more than a vendor, he has become a trusted friend. I am a disabled senior citizen appreciating his good atitude, and I've seen this several times over the years, our communication for what needs to be accomplished grows greater than 1 + 1. read more

Francisco is a top notch handyman! We are first time home owners, and Frank essentially helped us beautify and fix up our home: he installed a vent for a poorly ventilated bathtoom; he installed multiple vanities and faucets; cut down doors that needed to be shortened; drywalled multiple areas; installed tile; fixed a faucet.....The list goes on! Honestly, is there anything he can't do? He also was kind, prompt, and helpful, even giving me advice when I asked for it. Overall, what wonderful service! Thank you so much, Francisco, for the wonderful work and great customer service! (And Jose!) read more

Very nice people! I had a list of issues from screens to lighting to trash removal and all was taken care of. The lighting issue was baffling to us but the guys wouldn't give up until they'd figured it out. I asked that they be sensitive to my cats, who cannot go out where I'm located, and they made sure they did not leave any doors or windows open, very thoughtful. Great personalities too. read more

Francisco is amazing! He is very knowledgeable and will know how to do everything you throw at him. He has worked on my home, boats, and RV. I am a real estate agent and i recommend him to all my clients. read more

Hired Frank to change some door locks. He and his assistant did great work. Prompt, courteous, neat, and knowledgeable service. He will be our go-to handyman from now on. It is hard to find someone who you can not only trust to do a good job, but also that you can trust in your own home. PlanB Handyman is one. I highly recommend them. read more

I cannot stress strongly enough to STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN. He came to my house Saturday to fix my wall heater and we agreed that I would pay him $200 for the one part it needed plus labor. He told me he would put it in Monday, but didn't get here until late Tuesday. I left a check for my wife to pay him and thought that was the end of it. But the next day I received a text saying I owed him $286 and when I said that was not the agreement, he threatened to come over and uninstall the part. When I refused to give in, he sent someone over with two policemen to intimidate my wife, who was so scared she wrote him a check. For your own safety and peace of mind, do not ever work with Francisco -- he likes to come off friendly and sweet but underneath this facade he's a bully who can't be trusted. read more

We have been using Frank's service for years and I have been meaning to provide a review. He is incredibly skilled in all manner of home repair and improvement. He successfully troubleshoots the most puzzling glitches and problems with appliances, furniture assembly, plumbing and a lot more. He has installed our dishwasher, window air conditioners and screen doors. Above all he REALLY cares about the quality of his work. If price is an issue for a repair he can often suggest a lower cost work around that he is capable of offering. As a senior living in a manufactured home living on a fixed income he watches out for us and keeps our home in excellent repair. This is true also for several of our more elderly neighbors. He is professional, kind and caring truly a gem you don't want to lose if you get him! read more

His abilities super ceded our expectations, this is a guy you can trust and he has been proficient in all the tasks we handed him. We had a laundry list of repair and improvements we wanted done around our home, from replacing things such as our garbage disposal and updating all of our light fixtures he did a great job!!! We broke a lamp and he ran down to his truck and brought me crazy glue, I purchased new light fixtures and they were covered in stickers and he remedied that by offering me his bottle of goo gone. Overall great first experience, looking forward to him finishing our list on his next appointment. read more

Frank is truly a handyman as he has so many talents! We've asked him to help us on many occasions to do everything from wood working, some plumbing fix-it work, help with running some wiring, patching sheetrock, even detailing our car and boat. He's personable, honest, and hard-working. We highly recommend Frank! -- Bonnie & Mike read more

I called Frank up along with a few other handymen and he was one of the only ones that returned my call. I needed a hallway in our new home painted as I messed up trying to color match and do it myself. Frank was responsive and courteous and we made an appointment to do the work. The day of the job (today), he informed me that his brother would be doing the work. Frank drove to my house separate from his brother to meet me and introduce me to his brother.. which I appreciated since this was my first time using the service. He came in and got the hallway painted in an hour and a half ($50 per hour) and was done! He was so fast and pleasant and the hallway came out great! I will definitely be using them in the future for more of my painting needs and anything else I can't get my husband to do!!! read more

Cannot believe the positive reviews, as I scheduled an appointment with this company, and they never called or showed up. I called them back TWICE, the second time irate, and still heard crickets. Go elsewhere. read more

I've used some of the other guys you'll find on yelp in this category, and Plan B is head and shoulders above the rest. It's like the other handymen are in Kindergarten and Plan B is at the University level, or the others are Pop Warner football and Plan B is the Super Bowl, you get the picture. They fixed things beautifully and easily (at least they make it look easy) that the other guys either couldn't or wouldn't do. A bit more per hour, but they accomplish twice as much. They corrected problems going back decades at my 60 year old house, corrected the mistakes of other people who've worked on this house, even corrected a bad design flaw in one of the fixtures they installed for me. They're quick, competent and creative, I'll call them in the future for everything! read more

Frank just finished several jobs at my house, one cabinetry, 2 locks, one plumbing. What an awesome experience! He was efficient, professional, with reasonable rates, but an added bonus was his explanations of what he was doing. I made sure I got his card because I will definitely call him for any and all fix-it jobs in the future! High recommend Plan B Handyman Services!!! read more

Such a great company to work with! They have done everything for me from change out light fixtures, install can lights, paint, installed wood flooring and tile to hanging mirrors and assembling furniture to name a few! They are always able to get me on schedule and help with whatever we need! #besthandymanever!! read more

Called and spoke to Frank on Thursday evening Sept 10th. Said he was working on another job but that he would swing by our home that is up for sale to look over repairs needed. Never heard back from him. He then asked for an email of items we were requesting to have fixed. That email was sent on Friday evening hoping he would be able to go and see house and submit bid for repairs. Frank finally came through for us. Waiting on his bid for repairs. read more

First, I ditto what Bonnie & Mike said about Frank. He is guided by his integrity in all that he does. I am super fussy with all things and Frank knows that about me. His work ethic & professionalism are exceptional. I don't need to worry anymore because I've got Frank !!! I'm happy when he arrives because I know he's going to make things better inside/outside of my home. Thank you Frank. Always looking forward to the next time. Diane H read more

Francisco came to my rescue and fix my leaking bathroom window in the rain. He was very friendly, professional and reasonable. He had the leak patched up in no time. Hi highly recommend him to anyone in the Oxnard, Ventura or Camarillo area that needs any sort of repairs done around the house. I have talked to him about doing another project and when the time comes I will be calling on him again. :-) read more

Called him couple of weekends back for multiple things, including a major garage door problem. Francisco is professional, knowledgeable, and honest in his opinion. Also he is fast. Did not drag the work to increase hours. Overall very good experience. Highly recommend. read more

Francisco was really helpful! I needed him to check on a window leak at my mothers apartment. He came out, looked at the problem, took pictures and advised me on what the next step was- to call the Home Owners Association. He didn't charge me for just taking a look, which meant a lot since a lot of people do these days. I highly recommend him for being so professional and honest. read more

Francisco came to look at my sink the same day I called. He quickly point the problems and work with our schedule to fix the leak. Fair rate, complete the job within the time promised read more

I have had Frank out multiple times over the last few months to work on a variety of projects around my house -- painting, repair, carpentry, glass replacement, hardware replacement, etc. He has been fantastic! He is easy to get in touch with and responds within a day to most requests. He is busy, but will schedule in work, and, when he is working on my jobs, that was all he did -- he wasn't constantly coming and going trying to work other jobs or taking calls. Frank iss VERY meticulous -- he might have a slight touch of OCD about making sure things are just-so -- a quality I like in a handyman! He is also quite friendly and bright -- he often comes up with creative ways to solve problems that I hadn't thought of, and always spoke in a friendly, professional manner. When things didn't turn out as I had expected or wanted, he was more than happy to change things for me. He might not be the least expensive handyman in town, but he is worth the price (about $40/hr) and he works efficiently and carefully in the time he is there. I highly recommend him! read more

The owner's brother was scheduled to work a half-day at my beach condo early summer. We made progress, then he departed abruptly with several things left to do. He departed with a damaged window screen and was to return to replace it, plus tackle other tasks we identified. No receipt for payment was provided to me. Never got a response, calling repeatedly, to schedule follow-up. Finally reached the Plan B owner, who showed up mid-August and handled several tasks, including screen replacement--but gap at top of screen allows insects the size of wasps & moths to enter condo. Not a lasting solution. Owner promised to send receipt for payment via email. We had exchanged messages before he did the follow-up for his brother, so my email address was not a mystery. Weeks passed; left messages; emailed him. No response. Finally in September, I reached him on a Saturday. He said he would get receipt to me via email after the weekend. Monday, no receipt. Tuesday? Next month? As for the discussion of tasks yet to be done and typing them into email weeks ago--waste of my time. read more
