Fix It Fred is the Go-To handyman in this neck of the woods. He was recommended by so many folks I…read moreasked for a recommendation that I could not ignore him. All true. He returned all texts and phone calls promptly, was on time for all appointments, came with the proper tools and was able to do any and all the things I needed in setting up my apartment: furniture assembly, hanging pictures and curtains, putting some odd decor items in place and repairs to stuff that needed just that to continue their life. He is fun to talk to and his prices are very fair. I have even recommended him to folks in my old neighborhood.

Honestly, I've had so many not-great experiences with various handymen over the years, that I…read moreprocrastinated looking for yet another one. But when we needed to change out an old bathroom vanity for a new one, we knew we had to get serious about it. And if you hire a plumber to do the work, which DOES involve some plumbing, then it costs way more. I resigned myself to the search and literally just contacted the most popular handyman service in my town based on Yelp reviews. Guess what? thank goodness I did! 805's Handyman (NOT to be confused with "805 Handyman") responded right away--even though it was a Sunday and the World Cup games were on. I uploaded pics, sent in the details, got an estimate, and made an appointment. On the day of, a nice truck drove up with the logo painted proudly on the side (not a guy in a fancy sports car, like handyman #9). Two sturdy guys came in and got down to business right away--no fuss, all smiles, and dare I say it? Like they loved what they do. (Unlike handyman #7 who was a former engineer and complained the whole time, even refusing to do some tasks!) Long story shorter, the bathroom vanity switcheroo turned out to be bigger and messier project than expected. It ended up involving some retiling, grouting, electrical adjustments, alterations to trim, painting--and the plumbing bits and installation and removal. The workers were quiet, helpful, communicated the whole time and were just generally old-school excellent (unlike handyman #4, who was nice, but got everything crooked and a bit wonky, bless his heart). The 805's Handyman workers did ALL the plumbing/installing/electrical/tile work/painting--the whole shebang. And the end result is a sweet transformation for our upstairs bath (I also asked them to take care of a few more items on my to-do list, which they did quickly and again, with smiles). The whole thing was very gratifying. So much so, that the next time something in our house needs fixing, I will actually look forward to hiring 805's Handyman again. We're lucky to have them in the Ventura area and they are popular on Yelp for very good reasons.

I loved how Robert and Ana's response to my Yelp request read and their scheduling calendar was easy to use. They kept me updated about my appointment, right up to the day of the work when they notified me that Robert could come early. That worked fine for me. Robert was at my house as agreed and he looked at my problem, told me what he suggested doing and how much it would cost. It was very reasonable and I agreed on the spot. After getting needed supplies he had it fixed in no time and I have my lovely piece of furniture in working order again! Robert is a terrific person, friendly and professional. He is local and has other clients in my condo project. A real find! I will definitely be calling Handyman Today when I need work done professionally and reasonably. Can't say enough good things!!

He's very responsive and communicative during the project planning and execution. I'd highly recommend him to everyone and he will be my first call for all future projects.

This entry is about a week and a half belated, but it is nonetheless a deserved recognition of the…read morequality workmanship, professionalism and value that I encountered when utilizing Tom's Handyman Solutions. Not only was Tom prompt in his response (replied to my inquiry within 2 hours), but the quote for the work performed (installation of a ceiling fan, vanity light fixture, and security light) was far more reasonable than any other handyman in the area, and completely fair. The day following our introductions, Tom arrived at my home on time and went right to work on each project, sequentially ensuring that all work and satisfaction was achieved before moving on to the next task. The final task (ceiling fan) proved to be quite a challenge based on the previous wiring, and instead of shying away from the work or readjusting the quote because he spent more time to readjust the wiring and fix the mounting issue with the fan, Tom diligently worked well beyond expectation to finalize the project and remained true to the quote. I've known other people in the past to adjust their quoted price if they run into a challenge, but Tom worked with integrity and focus and again, remained steadfast to his original quote. When all was said and done, Tom did a walk through with me to make certain that I was pleased with the results for the various projects. He even offered to do a follow up with the work should there be any issues and would remedy any concerns without added cost. Based on this experience, and finding Tom to be a stand-up/quality person, I will undoubtedly utilize Tom's services in the future. We have already discussed future needs and I look forward to providing further reviews with coming jobs. In summary, a five star experience all the way around. Thank you, Tom, and wishing your business all the successes possible moving forward.
