Reliable and Honest We are very satisfied with Ranch Hands Construction quality of work. They began by repairing termite rot and damage to our 1909 craftsman home in Santa Barbara. The deck fascia, supporting beams and headers, all needed to be repaired or replaced. After several bids from various general contractors, Jean-Claude with RHC gave the most thorough and comprehensive bid. He took the time to explain and break down the process of each scope of work. The 5 scopes of work were then priced separately allowing us to decide according to our budget and needs. Although not the cheapest bid, it was worth getting the job done right. The Ranch Hands Construction crew were competent, prompt, hard working and respectful. Obviously RHC take pride in their work, going the extra mile and paying attention to details. It was refreshing to see camaraderie and teamwork amongst their coworkers. After their initial work, we hired Ranch Hands to reroof a backyard cottage, and rebuild the railings on our front deck. Again, we were very impressed with RHC work. The jobs were all within the original estimate, and the work was completed in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend RCH for most any construction job. It's difficult to find honesty, reliability and quality work. Thank you for the help. read more

One of their workers returned to my home, rifled through two of my vehicles, and stole items- including two laptops. Surveillance shows he walked around our camera, obviously knew where they were ahead of time. Then when leaving, his unique limp made him easily recognizable from when I met him during work at my home. Supervisor lied, said they've never had an issue like that before - Sheriff's department says otherwise. Would be nice if my items turned up, but can't imagine that's gonna happen. HIRE WITH CAUTION. read more

It is a pleasure to recommend Ranch Hands Construction for handyperson chores and other tasks. The fellows arrived on time and just kept saying "yes, we can fix that...yes, we have the tool for that...yes, we got that done...and no, it is not a problem...and such. All the things you want to hear when you are paying to finally you get the things fixed around the house that have bugging you for who knows how long. Their charges were fair and the invoicing and payment process was swift and easy. I am extremely pleased and would highly recommend Ranch Hands Construction. AJL in SB read more

AWFUL customer service. Two guys came to my door with fliers promoting their business talking about how efficient and responsible they are so I decided to give them a call. I received immediate response and someone arrived quickly to look at everything for a quote. It's been over 2 weeks and I've called several times, left several voicemails, and emails with no response. Wish I would have read these reviews before wasting my time. read more

Maybe things have changed but my experience was an expensive mistake. RH was hired to add onto an existing fence, trim privacy fence paneling, and place two posts into the ground. Four workers showed up for a simple job that normally would require no more than 2 handymen. They didnt start work until the foreman showed up 20 minutes later, yet they billed hourly for the time the time they waited around and they worked slowly. The fence wasn't aligned evenly and the privacy fence was cut crooked. They had about 5 minutes more work to finish and I was told I'd be charged a full hourly rate per man for those extra 5 minutes.. No reputable contractor does that. These inexperienced workers charged the same hourly rate as the foreman. I doubt they were licensed, bonded, or insured or know the permit codes and requirements. Something you may want to verify before hiring. read more

This is the second time this year we've hired Ranch Hands to help get our property ready for the market. They did a fantastic job, painting, renovating some old bathrooms to make them look new again, tile work, replacing numerous old plumbing fixtures with new, replacing light fixtures with new, painting the deck area to renew the look, moving furniture, clearing out the property, hauling stuff to the dump, stripping wallpaper and retexturing the walls to be painted, I could go on. They always arrived on time and did a fine cleanup at the end of each work day. When they were finished with the old place, we then sent them over to our new place, where they painted it throughout exactly to my specifications, and installed some light fixtures. All very well done. These gentlemen are prompt, efficient and the prices are very reasonable. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. read more

Been giving me the run around for over a month. Told them to give me a quote on a tile shower pan leak and got a quote for an entire bathroom floor? Then, I'm told they could do the work for multiple weeks while I wait on a new estimate only to hear "we can't do that type of work" after emailing and texting for 2-3 weeks waiting on a quote. Do not recommend based on customer service. read more

Ranch hands is the best! They arrive on time and do a great job and are extremely professional. We hired them to paint our fence and the work is impeccable. We hired them again to replace some wood on our pergola. Again great job Daniel Hernandez does a great job. We are hiring them again to paint our pergola. Their entire team is great and any older reviews that are negative don't reflect how great they are now. Our experience is within the last two years. Highly recommend Ranch Hands!! read more

They were very responsive to my request of helping unload my truck. They showed up on time and had a smile on their face while doing it. I would recommend Ranch Hands for anybody in need of quality workers. read more

I hired Ranch Hands twice in the last year. They were expensive (very), but the first time they came out, they did a great job. HOWEVER, BEWARE--they are a group of "gentlemen" that run out of a halfway house. Drug users and criminals. I have a disabled daughter and I was warned not to leave any of her meds out. I didn't but I did notice my own medicine was missing from my medicine cabinet. The first time they came out they showed up mostly every day and called if there was a problem. It was a large job and took about 3 weeks. They continued to work until I was happy with the job. The next time I hired them was for a small bedroom remodel and I wanted a valance made in my bathroom. First of all, they never showed up on the day agreed upon. Jean-Claude said he must have made a mistake, but he said he would "work me in." OK, I'm pretty easy going. But then it just got worse from there. I was having board and batten added to a bedroom and then it was to be painted and a light fixture changed out, along with building a playset I already purchased. The cost to put in a $300 playset? They wanted almost $1K for that. I negotiated that price down. It took two guys two days to put it together and it was never finished. Then the board and batten started.....I had to go in there and tell them exactly what board and batten was and help them space it along the walls. When they finally got it up, all the had to do was paint it. I've had renters paint better. There were little splatters all over the floors, the edges are uneven and not touched up, parts of the room did not receive adequate paint, and then the geniuses decided they would wash out their paint brushes in my bathroom (without asking where I would prefer they be washed) and I had to clean that up each day. To top it off the "electrician" they called in to put in the ceiling fan couldn't figure out how to make one switch turn the fan on, and one switch turn the light on. So now I have to turn on one switch to give it power and the other switch will turn on the light, but I must use the remote if I want to have the fan work. That's a problem just waiting to happen when the remote gets lost one day. And the valance I wanted made? They wanted to charge me another $1K. But it didn't matter because they just never did it. When I called they kept saying they couldn't find a piece of wood. Really? Ever hear of a lumber yard? I ended up going to home depot and doing it myself for the whopping cost of $13 including paint and metal hangers. They never came to finish the job and fix the drips, the uneven painting the parts that didn't get paint coverage completely, and when I called and emailed, I was ignored. All in all I spent over $20K with this company and the difference from the first team they sent over to the second was like night and day. Unfortunately, because of the way they run things at their halfway house, you never know who you're going to get. I won't ever be hiring them again. read more

I hired Ranch Hands to move an upright piano, so my husband wouldn't have to move it with his injured back. Well, they didn't bring enough people so my son and husband had to help carry the piano up the stairs because they forgot their piano dolley, which I had told them about the 8 steps into our home then I called to hire them. Then instead of carrying the piano, or putting moving blankets down on our 125 year old wood floors, they rolled the piano leaving gouges in our floors across the entry hall and into the room it was to live in. read more

I won't be troubling Ranch Hands with my repeat business. They installed a water heater for me and that went very well. Good work, dependable, on time, etc. 2 months later, I called back to have some minor work done on a house. I got a quote for $300+ for 2 guys to work 1.5 hours. Nevermind that only one guy will be working and they will charge a "truck fee" for a truck I don't need. Disappointing. read more

They were a bit late but so efficient, they got several projects completed in a short time. And they listened well. My family would recommend them for whatever help you need read more

We used them for moving services. They are nice young guys, and it's great that they are sober, but they knew nothing about packing, loading, the size trucks needed, or unloading and storing or moving the furniture. Every piece of furniture was gouged or scratched, glass shelves were left unwrapped, boxes were roughly handled so things inside which I'd wrapped and carefully packed were broken anyway, my clocks were damaged because the nice kids knew nothing about moving anything delicate. It was painful. I don't consider it their fault, but they were not professionals. Save money by using a pro. read more

Ranch Hands is a wonderful company to deal with, from estimate through job completion. Dustin and Eric completely cleaned out and hauled away a "hoarders" dream garage. They were professional and strong. I will definitely use RH again. read more

We have used Ranch Hands for several projects at our home and they have been really great. They are on time, dependable, and do great work. They are tidy and also have a good attitude about the work.

I've used them on a number of projects, from moving to minor construction to a full bathroom overhaul. They have a strong work ethic, are totally dependable, communicate well, and overall did a great job. I'll definitely be going back to them in the future. read more

The Ranch Hands crews are wonderful to work with. I've used them several times in the past couple of months for everything from minor handyman jobs around the house to a full blown renovation. On the renovation, their work far exceeded my expectations. I was so impressed by the level of communication and their professionalism and their willingness to problem solve and help with whatever came up. I was especially impressed with Daniel, who helped me out a lot around the house, and by Bill, who was the lead in my renovation. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Ranch Hands for any home improvement project or repairs. read more

They are awesome!!!! read more

We used Ranch Hands to help us move our storage locker contents. They were easy to work with. Their service was prompt and the workers worked hard and quickly. The job was completed well before our expected completion time. Afterwards, the supervisor followed up by contacting us to make sure everything went well. I will definitely use them again. read more

I was pretty nervous using a handyman group that I had no referral to go off of. These guys were great. They explained everything they were doing, they were fast, and everything exceeded my expectations. Two guys came in and installed 3 light fixtures that needed assembly from the box. One was a fan, and another was bathroom vanity lighting that requires the junction box to be relocated. All lights, patchwork, remote control mounted, and dimmer switches installed in two hours. Outstanding. read more

I would never use them again or recommend them to anyone. The people who came were incompetent except for one and they replaced excellent products with cheap ones. I'm going to have to redo everything they did! read more

I called to have a couple of experience, strong young guys move some heavy furniture from the neighbors next door up a flight of narrow stairs. They were on time, cheerful, amazingly strong, careful and inexpensive. These guys were absolutely awesome!! read more
