Very happy with my experience. Rick was able to get me an appointment quickly. Richard did a great job with my repair. He was prompt, professional and friendly. I will use this business for any future needs that arise. Highly recommend. read more

I contracted this RB Handyman to replace a header, and to paint gutters and exterior trim. The worker that started the job said he couldn't complete it because the gutters needed to be cleaned. He then proceeded to charge me an additional $400 on top of what I had already paid per our written contract. While at a consumer information/workshop, I discovered that what this man did was illegal and I was given a form to fill out and encouraged to file a complaint with the CSLB. With this knowledge, I called RB Handyman and told them what I'd learned. RB Handyman reimbursed me $200 and apologized for the incident. read more

Called to schedule a walkthru for replacing the windows on my deck/patio area a week ago and was able to have Jed come out on Tuesday. Same as before, came out on time, assessed the work, picked up parts, and got it done. Very happy to have clear windows again and don't have to deal with my in-laws having to see the plastic mesh anymore this weekend. read more

Bryan came to our home and was super courteous, prompt, and so clean you could not tell he was there. He installed a dog door. We were extremely satisfied and so was our dog! read more

Danny & Jason did exceptional job for us. They were timely and professional plus they kept us informed during the project.

I will echo what others said. Frank was thorough and detailed in his appts and estimates. Jason and Logan did an excellent job performing the various home repairs. They were professional, thorough, courteous, attentive to detail, eager to please, showed up on time, and communicated well. The charges were reasonable. I would be interested in using RB Handyman Services again, once I have enough new items. Thanks guys! read more

These guys do it all and the work is always spot on! Fast, reliable, and easy to work with. Mike is always very thorough, detailed and on point. Great work RB! read more

We've experienced a series of unfortunate events... (Some projects just work out that way no matter how prepared or experienced you are.) But Rick has been there every step of the way making things right. Great guy who genuinely cares about his customers. Work is still in progress, but as it stands now, I am very impressed with his incredibly strong work ethic and focus on customer service. Update: Rick took care of everything and we've had him come back for several additional projects since. read more

This is a long overdue 5-star review for Rick and Frank with RB Handyman Services who I was lucky to have help me fix my master bathroom shower in December 2019 (5 months ago). I found and contacted this company via Yelp based on their excellent reviews. I had a bit of a tricky shower leak situation that involved a part that may/may not have been available (its a pretty old shower). Frank exhausted all efforts trying to find the dinosaur part but wasn't able - which was fine. I appreciated his efforts as finding it would have resulted in a cheaper repair cost. Regardless, Frank was diligent, very knowledgeable, and they were reasonably priced given the work they did. read more

what a great service from Danny n Rob they both arrived on time wearing their masks constantly telling me what's going on fixing the water heater . They were quick professional and got the job done. Thanks Danny n Rob. read more

Our siding needed to be replaced after a prior contractor did a poor job. RB Handyman Services were the only guys that seemed to know how to fix it right so we hired them. Danny was prompt, professional, efficient and courteous. We were very happy with his service. read more

See all

We hired RB Handyman to come out and fix some exterior siding on our house to prep for paint. Brian and Matthew were on time, courteous, and did a fantastic job. We will definitely be using them for all our projects from here on out! read more

For the past several years I have been living in a crack house. No, not the drug type, but a house with cracks in the ceiling, cracks in the walls, cracks in the corners and all of them getting bigger and wider and longer each year. I knew that they wouldn't magically go away and I had to find a good company to do the work. I read the great reviews on Yelp and decided to give RB Handyman Services a call. Frank arrived and took one look at the cracks and said, "Oh yeah, we can fix this. I'll send my best sheet rock and ceiling guys to do this" and gave me a quote. This is the first positive response I had heard. Previous comments from other companies ranged from "Why did you wait so long to call someone?" to "Boy, this is not going to be easy to fix". Frank scheduled his crew to be here at 8am. At 7:55am 2 trucks were sitting in front of my house and at 8am on the dot they rang the doorbell. They immediately started working; everybody knew what to do. When they broke for lunch, they cleaned their tools and swept the floors like they were leaving for the day. At the end of the work day, they did the same thing. They were professional, respectful and worked as a team. Every single day, they were here on time and worked hard. I was so impressed and pleased. Big thanks to Richard, Logan, Hernando, Jason and Robert for their work ethic and positive attitude. You guys have made me very happy. I have several other projects in mind and I will definitely be calling again. read more

Had these guys do a couple of projects for us; you know those chores that have been on your honey-do list forever but you never seem to get around to them?! Anyhow, they did a good job with a couple of projects but the one that stood out was our shower pan debacle. I had used Diablo Valley Handy Man to replace our cracked shower pan a couple years back, and they really botched the job, so I had to call in RB to fix it. Robert worked hard to find a solution to a very complicated, atypical type of repair, so that we didn't have spend the money to rip everything out and start over. It took him a few tries but he stayed dedicated to the fix and made good on their word that they could repair the botched shower pan tile work; and his diligence paid off as his repair looks great and has lasted the test of time! Thank you RB handyman for your dedication and commitment, even though you were fixing someone else's major mistake! Robert's tile work expertise really paid off and we were so thankful RB Handyman took on the difficult job of cleaning up another companies mistake! We appreciate these guys and will absolutely use them again should any projects arise that I don't quite have the time or skill to get to. read more

My wife and I had a few small home repairs needing to be done and we couldn't do them ourselves. We made outreach to several possible handyman services but were met with silence each time. One call to RB Handyman Services was all we needed: Frank came out and did an estimate, Rick coordinated the details along with Ashley, and Don came to our home to do the job, all within one week. The repairs were done to our complete satisfaction, the communication was easy and thorough, only good surprises throughout the entire process. The job was done at a very fair price. While we don't look forward to future repair needs, we are relieved to know that RB Handyman Services is available. We'll not look beyond RB. read more

I am writing to recommend RB Handyman Services to people who needs handyman services. RB Handyman Services has done 3 big and several small projects for us this year. We are satisfied with them all. They do good quality work and have gone above and beyond to get the job done right. They detected our heavy trellis had become seriously rotten and advised us so we could immediately eliminate a safety hazard.  In addition, they introduced us to a good property manager when we really needed to find one. Thank you RB Handyman Services! For sure I will use them for my other endless property repairing projects. read more

We appreciate the handyman work done by RB Handyman. We had a rather large job and they were able to provide a cost estimate, then complete the work in a quality fashion for the estimate provided. We also had some extra work for them to do and they were able to provide a change order estimate for that too. Thanks again. read more

We had such a great experience with RB Handyman and so happy we found them! We recently moved to the area and have struggled to find a good handyman and have had some terrible experiences with others we've used. I contacted them based on their Yelp reviews and I'm so glad we did. Robert was able to do all of the work we needed done around the house and the quality of work was great! Not to mention he was incredibly professional and knowledgeable - You can tell they know what they're doing no matter how big or small the job is. Highly recommend them and we'll definitely be using RB Handyman moving forward! read more

I contracted with RB Handyman to do several jobs around my house. Rick came out to review the project then sent me a detailed invoice with agreed upon pricing a couple of weeks before the start of the project. The project included installing recess lighting. When Rick was was at my house we discussed that he would have to remove an existing ceiling fan to install the light. Rick sent a different technician to do the work. After the technician had already begun to work on my house he told me that since installing the light would require removing the ceiling fan, Rick had instructed him to charge double what we had previously agreed (an extra $125). The fact that I had a written invoice didn't matter. I felt extorted. Either I had to pay twice what we had previously agreed or that job wouldn't get done. Although the technician would have completed the rest of the work. I reluctantly agreed to pay the higher price. I have no complaints about the technician or the quality of work he did. But I find it very shady that Rick doubled the price after we had an agreement in writing, and the technician had already started work. Edit: The company reached out to me to resolve my complaint, and refunded the $125. As I stated in my original review I had no problem with the service. The work done was fine. I did not like that they added an extra $125 after I agreed to the work. Now that they refunded my money, I am satisfied. read more

Had some dry rot on an outside window frame and Richard Gomez came out and fixed it and did a great job. Everything went well from start to finish. They were very responsive in the beginning and on the day that was scheduled for the work they showed up on time and did quality work. We're very happy with the result. read more

I found this company on Yelp and based on all the positive reviews hired them to install some cans lights. Their business model works by sending out an experienced contractor to review your project and sell you on their abilities and once agreed upon and an upfront check has been secured they then sends out an inexperienced layman to try and complete the job. In my case I was assured Danny had the skills to install can lights yet after the first day it was obvious that all the lights he installed where clearly off center. I contacted the owner several times to address this problem and he never returned my calls and when someone from the company finally did come out and saw that indeed the lights were not aligned they wanted more money up front to address his mistake. I cannot recommend this company at all because I feel it says more about a companies integrity as to the way they address a problem than it does getting a project done right and in this case they had there money up front and clearly felt they could walk away. BTW I got an electrician to re-install the lights property and the estimate from a drywall company to fix the holes was close to $700.00. If you are going to take a chance with a "handy man" company try someone else. read more

Rb has a great team to work with, not just the workers doing the work but also behind the scenes to get the actual work started, Ashley is very prompt, direct, well spoken, suer easy to work with and answers all the questions and concerns and is on top of all the follow up's! Thank you Ashley for all your hard work! Will be calling them again! read more

RB handyman just remodeled out bathroom. Rob and Rob were the technicians. They were both excellent. Always on time, friendly, neat, and most importantly very knowledgeable. I was told on day 1 that they would treat my house as if it was their own, and they did just that. I 100% percent recommend Rob and Rob. If you are trying to decide on who to call...dont hesitate...call RB Handyman Services. read more

I would like to give props to RB Handyman Services. I needed to have a door installed on my detached garage. Part of me felt that some contractors may feel the job was too small. Initially I called 4 businesses and Rick got back to me. He was very straightforward and had Frank come out to look at the job and give me an estimate. I appreciated Frank's recommendations and the job was scheduled. Dan #2 came out on time on the scheduled date and performed a professional job. Dan managed the job very well. The job was started as promised and completed as promised. I was very impressed. If I need a handyman in the future, then I will definitely call RB Handyman Services again. Great job! read more

This is going to be lengthy, so if you don't want to read the whole thing let me say 1) I will always go to RB Handyman for my needs first (and subsequently recommend them) and 2) if he is available I would have Don do the work. For the whole review - read here. We came home from vacation to find our kitchen/family room flooded. After dealing with the remediation company we needed a contractor to rebuild our kitchen. We looked at reviews and sent a message out to Rick. He was prompt in his response and quick to come over to bid the job. We settled on the scope and the price and set the date. The the fun began... we had A LOT of difficulty with our cabinet makers (but that's a different less favorable review) wrong cabinets, delay after delay, and all the while rick and his crew worked with us to reschedule or work around the delays. The quality of the work was outstanding and in the end we couldn't be happier. Now about Don. Don was the crew member assigned to our project. He was on time everyday. He was professional, conscientious, patient, tidy, a perfectionist... there aren't enough adjectives to describe his level of quality. He made recommendations when he thought something could be done better, and he took his time to make sure his work was right. He felt like a member of the family. Rick Burgard is an excellent contractor that runs an excellent crew. All of my future needs big and small will be done by RB. Without exception. read more

We have hired RB Handyman Services for multiple home projects. They have installed a new door, removed existing doors & cabinets, performed custom cabinetry additions and various electric tasks, and most recently repaired our squeaky master bathroom floor. Richard and Luis did a fantastic job repairing our master bathroom floor: removed existing tile without breaking tiles, identified the cause of the squeaky noise, repaired sub-flooring, and re-tiled and grouted the floor. We would highly recommend RB Handyman Services for your next project. read more

Our experience with RB Handyman was exceptional, from our first consultation with Frank through the completed bathroom remodel. Frank was exacting in his estimate, the price never changed, and the experience was low-pressure. We want to express particular thanks to Robert and Danny, who exceeded even our most hopeful expectations. Beyond their professionalism, which was first rate, Robert and Danny took extreme care with the site and with their work. They were always on time and did a remarkable job of keeping our home clean and safe throughout the process. They really respected our time and, when they could, even came and left quietly because we work from home. After each day, Robert provided us with what they had finished and what they would be working on next. He also displayed genuine excitement about the work, consistently asked for design approval, and showed excellent awareness of what work had to be completed before the countertop and shower glass were installed. It was a true pleasure to have them around. And they're just terrific, personable guys. We hope to work with both of them again. To us, they are the true selling point of working with RB Handyman. As far as the work itself, we're still awestruck with the quality and precision of their tile and finish work. Robert is an absolute tile master. Danny's mechanical work was perfect, from the plumbing fixtures to drywall to electrical. They reinvented our bathroom space into something straight out of AD. Even after a week of moving back in, we find ourselves just standing around, marveling at the improvement. Even better is that we know the quality that went into their work, and that we will not only be enjoying it for years but doing so worry-free. read more

Had a great experience with RB Handyman; Contacted them to repair dry rot at the front of house. They were prompt in scheduling an estimate appointment; provided useful information during their visit and offered great solutions to complete the project successfully and without unnecessary costs! Will definitely use again in the future! read more

I am a Property Manager at Best Property Management and I have been able to use RB Handyman several times and various properties. I have used RB Handyman to do a wide range of tasks for me. Some of the jobs have been; appliance install, electrical rewiring, painting, sheet rock repair, door and jam replacement and even whole property renovations. I have had a great experience every time. They are very responsive and do quality work. I will always go to RB Handyman, FIRST, before I call anyone else. read more

First time Yelp has failed me. Vanity was not installed properly. Toilet and sink are still leaking! Now I have to redo the whole bathroom cos it wasn't done correctly! Overpriced! read more

Frank came out to give me an estimate to update the post on my front porch. I called Rick to schedule and that was easy. I forgot the name of the handyman that came out to actually do the work. He ran late but called to let me know. All good. The problem did not arise until after he started installing the new post. I had asked for 4 x 6 redwood post, but the one installed was 4 x 4. I had shown photo to Frank of the finish I was after and somehow that did not get communicated to the handyman that came out to do work. In addition to wrong post size, he started to paint the post with white paint though I had already said that we are trying to match the look of our cedar gate (clear stain). The handyman also left without painting over the stucco where old posts were removed. Now I have to find a contractor to correct the work that was done to get the look I want. read more

I needed a quick repair done to the area around my front door and tried RB. I loved the fact that he offered a flat rate - which was totally reasonable. He took his time and fixed everything to my satisfaction. I would hire him again. read more

A perfect job from start to finish. First, Frank came by to survey and scope out my needs/projects. I received a quote the very next day! Then Rick scheduled me for the following week; very accommodating with my schedule! Then the men- Mike and Rob- said they would arrive at 8am, and they arrived at 8am on the nose! If you've had to hire handymen before, you will know that never usually happens. They worked all day and could handle my many different projects no problem, from lights to clean up to fencing. They even bought the supplies themselves! Cannot say enough about how pleased I am with this service. Will definitely be hiring them again for any other problems I have at my house. [Must add that they followed all Covid protocol and had masks on during all their work!] read more

I got an estimate for drywall services that would take two days to complete. They wanted 3000.00 dollars up front and 400.00 when the job was complete. Anyone that knows the rights for contracted services, I told the Frank the person who gave me the estimate that asking for that much up front was RIDICULOUS and against the Law! He defended his right or the company's right to ask me for almost 90 percent upfront. I informed him that the California State Licensing Board tells all consumers. NEVER PAY MORE THAN 10 percent or 1000 dollars up front. Whichever is less. Be cautious when hiring anyone who asks for that much up front to start! You can or may be left with no work done and your money gone! I did not hire them! read more

Great work! Masked up for safety. I needed a bathroom remodel. They completed everything in three days. I will use for future projects. Thanks again!! read more

I found Rick and his team thanks to Yelpers, and hired them to repair some doors and frames on our house after a recent break-in. They had some great suggestions of ways to beef up the entry points into our house, used high quality parts and supplies, and they went out of their way to make sure the repairs matched existing finishes and looked as good as new. Pricing was reasonable, they were always on time, courteous, friendly, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and delivered on all promises. They also cleaned up their work areas well, and explained how to use the new lock hardware, etc. Rick is a great guy, and I highly recommend read more

RB did a great job with a custom door install. The project was coordinated with Frank and Rick, with Richard and Danny arriving as scheduled to do the project. They cared about doing a good job and making sure we were happy with the end result. Both had the skill and experience to make us feel comfortable they could do the job well and we didn't have to worry about the outcome! Definitely recommend RB. read more

So, I have this door in my house that, really, is the Door to the Underworld. Or Hellmouth Portal. Something like that. It is an interior door that opens into a kind of "walk-in crawlspace" that is really the side of the hill that my house is built on. It's dark, dirty, and slightly dangerous when you try to walk. I wouldn't need to ever go in there except that from time to time--particularly in winter--critters like to move in, and it's my responsibility to discourage their stay. This season, I was surprised to find the door shifted and got stuck. REALLY STUCK. I tried everything -- removing the flimsy door hardware, taking off the door trim, but I couldn't get the door open. There is no access on the other side. I no longer had a handyman "on tap," so to speak, so I had to blind call someone, which I hate. I chose RB Handmyman Service based on the reviews here, hoping they were genuine. Well, from start to finish, my experience says they must be. Rick came out to scope out the job and I could tell right away that he was my kind of handyman: detail-oriented, thorough, and interested in long-term solutions. He noted that the builders used an interior-quality door when it should be exterior. He also pointed out the lack of weather-stripping and threshold. He proposed replacing the door with something more secure and less vulnerable to house settling. When he gave me his bid, I was confident that he had thought through everything. Rick and Alex came out just before New Year's to do the work. They finished quicker than expected and when I came down to see, I was absolutely delighted. Seriously, when you sleep opposite a portal to the Hellmouth, you feel hugely relieved to find out you have a better lock. And weatherstripping, because demons can't get past weatherstripping (as everyone knows). Alex did the clean-up on the job and, as others have pointed out, left it cleaner than when they started. I couldn't be happier. Here's the deal: Because I was pleased with their work, I do want others to give them the business they deserve, only...can you wait until they book my jobs, first? I'd appreciate that. No, seriously, please. read more

Rick and his team are fantastic! They did a wonderful job last year on a Kitchen remodel for me. After a year has gone by, I called Rick because one of our local High Schools was looking for some recycled fencing to use in their theater play coming up in just a few weeks. Rick responded immediately and even delivered the recycled fencing to the theater group at the high school. Very cool to support our local youth/schools! read more

RB Handyman Services did another great job for us! They replaced our toilets and garage sink and wall-mounted our televisions. Our new toilets are beautifully done and our TV wall mounts are so pretty! We are so grateful to RB Handyman Services! It is also amazing that they actually cleaned up whatever they worked on and left the areas as clean as they were (or cleaner!!!). The staff are courteous, very considerate, punctual, professional, and they work with a great sense of excellence. The owner, Ric B., is very particular about hiring the right staff who will represent his company and he's done a great job doing so. We have done many projects with RB Handyman Services and every project has been a great experience for us. Working with Ric and his staff on projects has always been worry-free and we always know that we are in good hands. This company does not stop at doing the job for you. They explain and educate their clients as to why a certain project is being done a certain way and they explain the process before they start working on the project. Very reassuring and provides for informed decisions on our part as clients. We look forward to doing more projects with RB Handyman Services in the future. read more
