I have used Steve's services many times for a variety of projects, including installing ceiling lights with rewiring, replacing the faucets for my washing machine and dryer, repaired a leak under the sink and installing a new toilet. What I like most about Steve is that he takes the initiative to solve problems instead of just doing the minimum required. For example, when he removed the old toilet, he discovered that the water pipe was surrounded by plant roots. He proactively bought a root killer and treated the area to help prevent future damage. Steve is very responsive, easy to communicate with, and extremely thorough. Since these are my rental properties, I'm often not there in person, but he always keeps me updated with photos and videos throughout the job, giving me complete peace of mind. His pricing is also very reasonable, and the quality of his work is excellent. I highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled handyman. read more

Steven provided excellent and thorough feedback and work. He replaced six bathroom exhaust fans for us a in a timely fashion.

Steve came to our rescue in a big way. We had a dryer installed incorrectly and kept smelling gas. Steve was able to come out the very next day and he not only fixed our dryer but he also hung a tv for us in our master bedroom. He was quick, knowledgeable, and so reasonably priced. We will definitely be calling him for our other handyman needs! Thank you so much Steve! read more

Great work. Steve was easy to work with and reasI able. Picked up the toilets for me and also got rid of the old ones.

Steve was responsive, prompt and helpful. He wouldn't charge me when he was unable to resolve my problem, instead recommending a specialist (who was also great and did resolve the problem). read more

Steve had a highly competitive quote to come out and remove a birds nest near my roof. He was on time, super courteous and even climbed on the roof to make sure he got everything. Would definitely go with Steve in the future for any other work I need. read more

UPDATE: Steve apologized for the mistake and issued a refund. I hope on his next project he can be more careful. Incorrectly installed my garbage disposal beneath my sink and needed to have another individual install it correctly as it was leaking when I ran my dishwasher. read more

Steve recently installed my new garbage disposal. After sending a message he responded quickly and was able to come out the same day. He was thorough and quickly finished the job and was out the door. Last year he installed some ceiling fans for me. One room had a box already and the other did not but he was able to exceed my expectations and beat other quotes significantly. They turned out great. At this point I'll only call him to work on my home. read more

Steve was very professional and very responsive. He installed our new garbage disposal and two new water faucets for our kitchen. His pricing was fair and he accommodated us on his schedule very quickly. I highly recommend his services. read more

Steve performed a quality repair job on our continuously running toilet bowl at a reasonable price. Installed new parts, double checked if everything works perfectly and was done in less than an hour. Highly recommended. read more

Steve came out the same day to replace a garbage disposal at a very reasonable price. Will use him again for future jobs.

Steve helped me with two projects in one week. My husband and I will be working with him again. His work is high quality, he is easy to work with, and his rates are affordable. So grateful to have found a reliable and knowledgeable handyman to help us with home improvements :) read more

I had some small projects for my new house and he was able to come out the same day. No other handyman was available or as responsive. He was quick and professional. He replaced my toilet and added a new outlet in my wall. I just wish he was able to replace my chandelier but his ladder wasn't able to reach. He had all the needed parts and the knowledge. I will definitely use him again. read more

We needed some drywall repair work to repair damage from a leak in our attic, so I contacted Rancho Bernardo Handyman for help.

The result really was like the problem had never even happened, and we couldn't have been more pleased. If you need some work done around the house, you can reach out to Rancho Bernardo Handyman with confidence . . . I know I will whenever I need help again! read more

Steve fixed my plumbing nightmare. After an in-wall pipe leak repair, 2 toilets started constantly running and my bath/ shower faucets started leaking. One toilet shut off valve was stuck. He fixed all that and also replaced old questionable water lines to the toilets. He did all this at almost 1/2 the estimated cost from 2 companies. Highly recommend! read more

Steve was responsive through text, allowing us to coordinate a date/time for installing a new OTR Microwave. He showed up on time and with all the proper tools. Professional work ethics and was quick in installation. OTR Microwave installed quickly and correctly. He also had no issues while I watched and talked throughout the installation. No issues with value/cost of labor. Highly recommend and will continue to coordinate with him for future projects. read more

RB Handyman went above and beyond! Steve was extremely responsive (text messages worked great!). I sent him photos of the work needed via text and he quoted me a reasonable price. His team was available the same week to do the repairs! His team Octavio, Javier, and Ivan were on time, professional, efficient, took all of their trash and left the area clean! I needed to refresh a restroom - replace toilet, sink fixtures, shower fixtures, flooring, and paint the entire room. They even found that the subfloor to the toilet was rotted and the sink under cabinet was leaking. (This is an old house that has been neglected, so not a surprise.) Octavio and team still managed to get all of the work done the same day! This team is honest, efficient, and reliable! I know who to call for any of my home repairs! Please don't hesitate to call RB Handyman! read more

Steve helped me with old Garbage Disposal replacement. Appointment was quick and easy, and he was right in time at our place. Had no problem putting on shoe cover (we're Asian), which I appreciate. He jumped right into the work. Per my personal interest, I watched the whole process, and I can clearly see how efficient and experienced he were. Whole process took around 30 minutes, no hick-ups or stall. He just got it done. Price is very reasonable (as I compared to many other options from the area). I'd continue to maintain his business. Thanks Steve! read more

Steve did a great job mounting exercise equipment in my garage. Before he showed up, he asked several intelligent questions, telling me he knew what he was doing. He was flexible with scheduling and showed up within a few hours of confirming that the equipment was delivered. He had an idea about how to install it that was not in the directions, and it turned out to be a brilliant move! And his price was very reasonable. I will file away Steve's number and use him again for any handyman jobs I have in the future. read more

Steve did a great job with installing a hoist in our garage for a roof top tent. He spent a lot of time planning the installation and discussing it with me to make sure I would be satisfied. The whole project took much longer than he had anticipated, but he still came back the following day to dial the hoist in and make sure it worked perfectly. I really appreciate his desire to do a great job and take pride in his work. That is a rare thing to find in folks these days. I'd definitely hire him again for handyman work. read more

I had a leak under kitchen sink I called Steve he did some work under sink but did not fix the leak so I called him and paid him again to fix the leak but still leaking again now he want more money to come back and fix it I will never want to work with this handy man ever again. read more

Steve was prompt in returning my inquiry as to his availability to install a kitchen sink and faucet on a remodeled countertop. After texting back a forth as to the detailed scope of the job, he gave me a fair estimate. I feared that the countertop cutout was off, but he assured me that after a few adjustments it would be no problem and got right to it in an efficient and careful manner. The sink, faucet and plumbing install was perfectly solid! Impressed with his work! read more

Good communication and great work quality. Definitely would repeat if any further repair needs.

Steve assembled two shelving units at my storage space. While it was a small job, I was flexible on timing, so he was able to fit me in. I was happy to have someone with his skills do the work. He was punctual, efficient, and friendly. The shelving turned out perfect, and his fee was reasonable. I will certainly use him again and highly recommend his work. read more

I'm a Realtor, and I realized last minute that I needed to put in smoke detectors in a carbon monoxide detector in one of my listings. It was at the end of the day, and I thought for sure I'd have to have my husband do the installation. I tried Steve and he was over there within 90 minutes. He took photos when he was done and I sent him money electronically. Technology for the win! So thrilled to know about him, and I will hang onto his number for future reference. read more

Steve was great! Came out the same day. Work was completely efficiently and pricing was reasonable. Will def use his services again!

Steve did a great job replacing our kitchen sink. We had an under-mount sink, and our top-mount replacement required cutting a wider hole, re-plumbing from two bowls to one, and replacing the garbage disposal and faucet. Steve was willing to make a couple different trips after we discovered our new sink was delivered with damage, and he even fixed a random plunger issue in our bathroom at no charge. Very professional, nice guy, quality work, reasonable rates. He's definitely going to be my go-to with these kind of tasks in the future. read more

5 stars for Steve! We had an electric stove issue and thought it was the stove itself so we bought a brand new one from Home Depot. There's a long story behind this - I'll save you from those details. Found Steve, Rancho Bernardo Handyman and he came to assess the issue. Once the issue was identified, he went directly to HD. They didn't have the part in stock so he goes out of his way to the HD in Poway and comes back to finish the job, at 8pm! I can't thank Steve enough and this yelp review doesn't even express my sincere gratitude. Steve is a very nice guy, knowledgeable, and hardworking. I highly recommended him. THANK YOU STEVE!!! read more

Steve was awesome and quick! We discussed our needs and I really liked his honesty. He installed a new sink faucet for us and fixed a dryer vent connection that was loose. We provided pictures and details and he stuck with his estimated quote, really glad we reached out to him! read more

I never said you should get a temp worker and get the job done. I said "You cannot propose to push the start day by a week on the day of the start day... That is so unprofessional.... We moved everything out of the way for Octavio to start today", then you said "there aren't temp workers standing around". You are completely missing the point. We were upset that there was no call no show. I had to follow up with you to find out that Octavio was not showing up. That was the 2nd delay. If you made a mistake of having no call no show. You should own it. Also, you said cash payment or you are not going to do the job. You did not give us any other payment options. The fee was in thousands and I said I am not comfortable going to the bank and withdrawing such high amount of cash. You kept giving us empty promise and pushing the start date! Your response is so upsetting. You need to own the mistake and be considerate of people's time/schedule. Also, stop sending us text message. You do not have our permission to text me or my wife. read more

tl;dr - quick response, reasonable price, great work I've been using Steve for a couple of years now and he has been really amazing. The most recent time was this past month where I needed to get a kitchen sink and valves replaced in a rental. Being out of town, I was able to communicate the issue over text and he arranged a time directly with the tenant. He was able to get it done the next morning and even picked up all of the parts and faucet on his way over. The work that he does has been really well done and on schedule. He is always super responsive and returns my messages within the day. He goes the extra mile to work with his clients and make sure they are taken care of. I would highly recommend him! read more

Steve did a great job installing a door awning over our ADU entry at a reasonable price. He's friendly, very capable, and I appreciated his help! read more

Had a broken garbage disposal. Steve quoted a reasonable price, came by on short notice, and completed the job well and quickly. Can't ask for much more. I'd call Steve again for any other handyman needs! read more

Garbage disposal needed replacement. Posted quote request and Steve responded within minutes. Installation completed the following day as scheduled. Efficient, clean, professional work. Will continue to use their services and can comfortably recommend this business to family and friends (already have). read more

I am so glad to have found Steve! My husband and I are far from being handy....like not handy at all lol. Steve was super helpful and responsive since day 1 of contacting him! He also comes on weekends which is super awesome for those who work on weekdays. He's fast, detailed and prices are very responsible. He re installed our garbage disposal as our contractor installed it incorrectly originally, now I have a peace of mind. He helped fix a window trim that warped from all the rain. And he fixed a spigot leak outside our yard. I will definitely reach out to Steve in the future for more help! Don't hesitate and contact him today if you need any help fixing things around your house! read more

Bathroom remodel: I worked mostly with Octavio for remodeling my kids' bathroom - new flooring, vanity, new tub, shower tile and some accessory stuff. We are WFH and kids were both virtual school at that time, but the crew was pretty quiet outside the demo work. Best thing about crew was how CLEAN they left everything everyday. The shower tile was pretty complicated, but they did a wonderful job. Crew also installed base boards we had ready, but planned to do ourselves. Would def hire again. read more
