TJ Robb - Yolorepairmaster

Gave TJ a call to fix a bathroom sink and he was able to schedule me in right away. Even though his schedule was really tight, he took the time and patience to fit me in and even went the extra mile to switch his appointments.

His estimate was very fair priced and I was charged exactly what he gave me over the phone. I called several places in woodland, Davis and Sacramento and he gave me the best first impression. He called me back quickly and was friendly and professional.

Four days after the sink was fixed, the backyard light wouldn't turn on and I called him again. He was nice enough to deal with scheduling the appointment with my tenants himself.

I am not sure why there's so few reviews for TJ. I had great experience and definitely recommend him for any maintenance needed!

Thanks to Danielle S review yesterday I phoned Yolo Repairmaster on a Sunday to fix our AC. TJ came out at the time he said he would and fixed the air conditioner within 30 minutes. No upselling and gave helpful advice on how to improve the longevity of our AC. I have no reservations in recommending Yolo Repairmaster to others, in fact I have already shared our experience with friends.

I thought I could repair my heater furnace igniter myself.  I called TJ to ask if I could buy the part from him. you know, I am not a parts place but he was willing to sell me the part.   He warned me that the part was delicate and I could easily break it.  After practicing with the old part, (glad I did), I realized I never would be able to get the part in there as the tolerance was next to impossible.  I called him up and he came out that afternoon.  Not only did he put the part in but he gave the old furnace a once over to make sure everything was going great. Truly, you do not get honest service like this anymore.  This guy is a gem!

TJ did something that it seems no other contractor is capable of, returned a phone call. He also did another miracle - explained the scope of the work he could do and what he couldn't. I didn't use him for my electrical work, I still need an electrician for that, but he came back to help with a plumbing issue and it was done quickly, smoothly and correctly. 5 stars.

I should have written this last year when TJ came out on a Sunday, as I remember, to clear our kitchen drain line.  He explained in advance that rates would be higher for the weekend, but we decided we needed the kitchen...  He was quick to respond and got it cleared in no time.

Then I woke up this morning and couldn't get the heater to light.  After fooling around with it for an hour or so, I called TJ again. When he returned my call, he said he could be here between 3:30 and 5:00.  Damn, I thought, we will be frozen through by 5:00.

When he showed up at 3:40, I bit my tongue.  He figured out and solved the problem in less than 20 minutes!

What a guy, what service, what knowledge!  He makes me thankful to shop local whenever possible.  They deserve each 5-star rating they get!!!

Our AC unit in our house broke. We were left basically dying in this hot Woodland heat! Called TJ late evening he was able to schedule me in for the following day. He was on time. He was able to replace and fix the part in no time! Got us back up and running that day! His prices are fair and reasonable. Much more than the other guys! He is honest, prompt, reliable! He does an excellent job! I will be calling him for further projects we have around the house! Thank you for your work and for getting us back up and running!

TJ is the guy to call when something breaks.  He enjoys a challenge and has diagnosed and fixed our A/C on short notice.  On another occasion he replaced an exterior water pipe in a hard-to-reach location that had developed a pinhole leak and was spraying my house.  He is very knowledgeable, capable, experienced and happy to explain what he's doing, the problem he finds and the solution.

Can't complain, TJ is the type of person who will work with you around your schedule accordingly.  We had an emergency water heater leak and we happened to be out of town.  He was still able to walk us through prices and suggestions and gave us the best rate. I look forward to continue doing business with him because he is honest and up front.

Outstanding service, really focuses on the needs of the client and makes alternative suggestions. Realibity and affordability couldn't be better.  Would gladly recommend TJ.

TJ was awesome. Came over same day and diagnosed and replaced my AC capacitor, all within an hour. Another plus was that instead of requiring me to wait at home in a 4 hour window like most technicians, he was able to give me an exact time that he would be at my house, which I found very convenient, especially since I work full time and find it difficult to get time off during the day. Highly recommend him!

We got our AC fixed, changed the capacitor. We appreciate the high quality work and the fast response time.

I wish I had picked Eric Duarte's recommendation from day one. After seeing all these AC contractor names from our nice NextDoor app neighbors, I decided to call Woodland Air. The owner sent his son to look at my AC as he himself was running late on Friday afternoon. His son decided that my capacitor was dead but couldn't fix the issue. So he came back with his dad the following morning. I told the owner that I didn't believe my capacitor was dead and that it must have been Freon leaks, and I wanted him to retest my capacitor. He did and found it to be in working condition so he installed it back. He pumped nitrogen gas in to test leaks and found that the suction service valve was leaking. He told me that it's best to call Blake's as they are a Lennox dealer. Ron and his son were professional and honest, although they couldn't fix my AC. He didn't charge me any money and left.

I then call Blake's on Monday. They sent a tech to check my AC on Tuesday afternoon. I told him Woodland Air had found the valve to be leaking and he checked and agreed. He told me that the valve must have been ruined as it looked like the valve /copper pipe was not welded properly. He told me I needed a brand new valve and recharge Freon. I received a quote the next day for $1273.17.  Blake's refused to breakdown the material, parts, labor and tax costs. The Blake's tech was in my property for only 20 minutes and I was charged $95 for his diagnostic visit! Although I didn't think he did much as I already told him what happened.

I really couldn't believe that the valve was damaged due to the over-heated welding process. If it was so, what about the Lennar home warranty? What happened to the previous owner who lived in this house for 7 years? Also,  when we purchased this house in 9/2021, the home inspector reported that the AC worked satisfactorily.

With that doubt in mind, I called TJ Robb yesterday (Thursday). TJ came around 4:45pm, and fixed the valve and charged 6 lbs of Freon and left around 7pm. In between he had to go back home to get one of his tool to open the valve. He charged me $320 and my AC started running and the whole house was cooled to 75F by 7pm before he left! TJ was very skilled and knowledgeable and very efficient in what he was doing. He basically found the issue and fix it within a few minutes. He was a straightforward and no-nonsense kind of guy. He was honest and kind with a great passion to help his client. He even came back the following day to make sure my AC was running properly.  

I strongly recommend TJ to anyone who has AC issues. I already recommended TJ to our friends and relatives and we will definitely call him for future needs.

TJ is the best and most honest AC repairman I have ever met. He came three times to fix what was wrong with our AC and found the problem and fixed it for a really affordable price! The other companies were trying to talk us into getting a new AC unit with them, but Dave was honest and helped us remedy the problem. He saved us at least 10K. I highly recommend TJ and will definitely call him again for future repairs!

I had water leaking from my ceiling. The roofer said it was a plumbing problem. I called TJ Robb. I'm glad I did! He responded rapidly, his techs diagnosed the problem quickly, and they completed the work for a very reasonable cost. The techs were very professional, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. And TJ was such a pleasure to work with! He kept in constant communication with me during the project. If you want a plumber with real honesty, integrity and fair prices, call TJ Robb!

Using the Yelp messaging feature I reached out to a number of HVAC firms.  Most were communicative, a few polite, one informative but what made TJ stand out was that he *CARED.*  He was concerned that I (being in rural Yolo) might not have prompt access to service.  That approach to life tells a lot about the character of a person and this is someone I think can be counted on.  Thanks TJ, I appreciate the compassion.  God bless.

TJ installed a complete home central AC/heating unit for a great price, significantly lower than other quotes. That was a few years ago and it continues to work perfectly. Thank you TJ, I really appreciate it

JT called right back and fit us into his schedule that day. He was pleasant and described what he did clearly. He was professional,  courteous  and knowledgeable. We will call him again when we need an electrician.

TJ is FIVE STARS! He is responsive, prompt, does a great job, has a fair price, is nice, and multi-talented. There is no need to go to anyone else and if you do, you bad service at a much higher price!

Finding a repair person as highly skilled as T J Robb is unusual.  Mr. Robb is a fully licensed contractor and has many years of experience in plumbing, electrical, and heating & air-conditioning and his depth of knowledge is remarkable.  I have managed rental units for 40 years so I have worked with many repair people and T J is one of the best.  The first time I hired TJ was on a plumbing problem where I wanted a second opinion - a plumbing company had given me an expensive bid to repair the problem that required (they said) tearing out a bathtub - and TJ was able to fix the problem in less than an hour without any fuss.  That was over 5 years ago and TJ has helped me with over 100 repairs since then.  T J is also efficient - he gets the job done in a timely manner.  And he is pleasant to work with - always friendly and always on-time.  In addition to these important attributes he will save you money.  Do yourself a favor and call T J Robb the next time you need a repair ... you will be pleasantly surprised at the quality of service that you receive.  Grade: A+

It's Sunday morning, I just got home from a 72hr work shift and both toilets are clogged.  I start a 96hr work shift tomorrow and my family needs this clog cleared. I called 3 different local 24-hour plumbers. All I got was voicemail and no return phone call, except for TJ.  He answered my call and we agreed at a time after I got home from church. He arrived at the scheduled time and was very friendly and polite. He promptly began clearing the clog in our sewer line.  He charged me a reasonable price and even stayed long enough to talk to the public works representative, on my behalf, about my sewer problem.  
I would recommend him for any of your plumbing needs.  And a bonus, he does more than just plumbing.  I definitely will keep him in my address book contacts.

TJ Robb was punctual, professional and proficient! Absolutely NO issues with the company. I had replaced our AC capacitor last year because the fan wasn't running when the AC turned on. I'm somewhat electrically inclined so I did a little research and was able to fix the problem then. This year every time the AC kicked on it would run for about 6-7 minutes, shut off while making an audible buzzing sound for about 2 seconds and kick back on. I was done, I had other projects going and I didn't want to deal with it. So I outsourced the project. I found that TJ was highly recommended so I reached out. He came during the window he said and within seconds of opening the Air conditioners electrical panel found a burned wire out in the open, I felt like a jacka$$ for not checking but that's on me. He quickly replaced the wire and, thankfully, only charged me the consultation fee, which I greatly appreciate. The whole maintenance lasted no more than 20 minutes (by the way I also replaced my filter like you suggested) and the AC is running great. TJ Robb took care of my problem and was very timely about it. He even suggested I could reach out if I had further issues. I would definitely recommend this company and am willing to use them in the future.

TJ is like having your grandpa come over and fix things. Trustworthy, honest, dependable, reliable, consistent. Results meet or exceed expectations.
Stop looking, and send him a message now. Your troubles will be over shortly!

TJ got back to me almost instantly.  He fixed my bathtub drain quickly and efficiently. Friendly, efficient and professional. Thank you!!!

This review is for work TJ Robb did for my parents, who live in Davis. Over a year ago they had an issue with their shower. They called a local plumber who came out but said they would need to break through the wall to fix it. They didn't want to do that since it would have been very hard for them to find replacement tiles and the quote to do the work was very high.  

Just last week they had an issue with their toilet. I found TJ Robb through Yelp and saw the good reviews so I gave them his number.  He came out and fixed the toilet and the shower.  They are beyond happy with the work he did. They said he was not only great, he was fantastic. When I talk to them days later they still bring it up.  

They highly recommend him and would use him again.

TJ Robb, thank you for your help!!!

TJ is awesome, my gas wall furnace was down in one of my rental properties and he sent someone immediately. He was responsive on text, the job was completed right away, he was very good and honest on pricing. I asked another company to give me and quote and it was over $600!!! This didnt seem right so I rang TJ, the job was done for under $200.

Just today I had a problem with my HVAC, I text TJ on Saturday evening 6pm, he replied right away with some possible solutions. I tried them and now I have heating again. He didn't charge me, this guy is amazing! Definitely 5 stars.

TJ  is prompt, reliable, and does a great job. He did a bunch of stuff (lighting, plumbing. A/C, dishwasher) in the somewhat lemon of a house that I bought and did a great job on all of it. I absolutely recommend him to anyone needing repairs for their lemon of a house in the Yolo county area. He's worth every penny.

I called TJ this afternoon about a malfunctioning circuit breaker and he was absolutely WONDERFUL. Right away, he tried to save me money by trying to verbally walk me through my problem to see if it was something i could fix on my own. When we decided it wasn't something I could do myself safely, he again worked to save me money, trying to see if there was something I could do in the meantime to save me from the higher weekend fees. The main problem was the fact that the outlet responsible for my refrigerator was not working, so he suggested using an extension cord until I could get someone out to look at/fix the circuit breaker. He even suggested another company in my area that MIGHT be available on Superbowl Sunday if his techs weren't. I had just decided to take his suggestion to use an extension cord/power strip for the time being, when he called me back to check on me to make sure I was using an extension cord or power strip that could handle at least 15A, because that is what is necessary to handle a refrigerator! He was so helpful and sweet, and I am absolutely blown away by his honesty and genuine desire to help me, even though I hadn't even officially hired his company for the job! I followed up later and officially scheduled an appointment for someone from his company to come out tomorrow to look at the problem!

The Most Respectable Person I know by far! Will save you money and won't waste your time. Over 40 years of helping the community. That's why he is number 1 with me.

We called TJ Robb because our refrigerator delivery man told us that the valve behind our refrigerator was rusted and needed to be repaired before they could unhook the old fridge and install the new one. TJ came by and told us that the valve was just stuck, and didn't actually need to be replaced. He was here for fewer than 10 minutes. He charged us $100. While I appreciate not doing unnecessary work, I thought the price for such a short visit, and no plumbing work, was a bit shocking.

Our AC went out and TJ replaced our unit. Great service, incredibly knowledgeable, timely, organized and no stress! We highly recommend them!

On a 110 degree Saturday evening, when my house was nearing 90 degrees, I was fortunate enough to make the right call to TJ.  He picked up on the first ring and quickly came to the rescue of me and my three pups.  I was so impressed with his compassion, his kindness, and his knowledge of A/Cs.  He happened to have the correct part on hand and was able to get my A/C up and running within an hour.  I will be forever grateful for his speedy response, calm demeanor, and willingness to help.  Thank you TJ!

TJ was a HUGE help and was very kind and responsive in helping us to install a dishwasher in our 1970s era house. It required him to do plumbing work, electrical work --basically a little bit of everything to get it installed. It was pretty clear right from the beginning that we had the right team on the job. I don't know how we would have managed to get it in otherwise without spending a fortune hiring different trades to do different parts of the job. TJ's rates were very reasonable and the quality of the work was stellar. SO glad we went with him!!

Had TJ come out to do a heater inspection and maintenance before the winter season arrived. TJ took the time to educate me on the basics of my heater and even gave advice on how to save money! He is honest and knowledgeable.

TJ was fabulous - had him come out to do some diagnostics and much overdue maintenance on our A/C system.   He got back to me shortly after I called him, and it was easy to set up an appointment.  When he got here he walked me through the entire diagnostics process - we talked sub-cooling, refrigerant phase changes & latent heat, all the things!  I almost feel like an HVAC technician now!  After a much needed pound of freon, it's running ice cold!  Oh, and he even figured out that the fuses to the compressor and fan weren't to spec, which I hadn't even bothered to check.  I'll definitely be bringing TJ back for a recheck in the spring, and recommending him to all my friends!

I liked his services on time and reasonable up front charges.
TJ Robb repaired my water heater and walked me through my warranty.
Explained in detail the problem on phone. I liked that he was always on time.
Explained in detail the problem. I will use his services again.

I got on touch with TJ about a water heater that wouldn't light. He provided me with a lot of advise and a phone number to get the replacement part for free from the manufacturer. I was really in a rush to get the heater back up and running after 4 days of cold showers, so once the part arrived I immediately went back to TJ to schedule an installation. He was already booked for the day but offered to come the next day. I was quite desperate at this point so I attempted to install it myself, which took some time but worked well in the end. TJ provided some more safety tips over the phone - all without ever seeing a dime. I am very grateful for his generosity  and will surely hire him the next time something brakes!

Saturday morning thought I'd call around and get some idea of who would be a good company in Woodland to do a maintenance check on my a/c unit.  Called TJ, talk about offensive....he stated he is too expensive for Esparto and that I should call someone local??  Too far for him to drive out here.  I said there's no one closer locally than Woodland and it's not too far, do you know where it is?  He states yes and name LaPlazita and the gas station in Madison.....haha ok then starts raising his voice that his van only gets 7 miles to the gallon blah blah blah, not helpful and very rude of him....not sure how this guy stays in business.  Note to people reading this....Esparto isn't all poor people, a lot of work!!  Wow.

I needed a lot of plumbing done to get a house ready to list for sale.  I had a rushed deadline and when I called TJ he was so helpful and responded immediately, even though I know he was working on a lot of other projects he fit us in.  He came out right away and made sure the kitchen and bathroom sinks were set up and working perfectly.  I really liked how he explained to me what he was doing and his quality of work was excellent.  He also fixed a leaky shower nozzle and capped a gas line for us.  He kept me constantly updated and even followed up after the job was completed to be sure everything worked out well.  I still can't believe the excellent customer service he provided!  I've never experienced such thoroughness and follow-up like that before and can say that TJ will be the only repairmaster we use in the future!

If I could give ten stars instead of five, I would.  TJ is an HONEST man that you can trust!!  Before finding him, I had my AC unit inspected by three other companies in the Davis/Sacramento area, and they all suggested a replacement which would have cost me thousands of dollars.  TJ diagnosed my AC and said I only needed the capacitor replaced...  My AC works fine and so thankful for him!

T.J. Robb was recommended by a neighbor several years ago when we moved into our new home and needed numerous repairs and improvements. Since then, we have called him for other work.
T.J. has always been punctual, and completed everything in a timely manner. He is very knowledgeable with electrical, plumbing, and heating & air conditioning. His prices are fair, and he won't do unnecessary work.
We would recommend him for any repair/improvement work in the home.

Bruce & Linda Smith.

I really appreciated the work that TJ did for me, which included investigating a fan that stopped working, investigating the smoke alarms that were going off, and investigating the light bulbs acting funny. He hurt his leg/back so he wasn't able to go into the attic, but he was very knowledgable and got a lot done in a short hour. The cost was $110, which seemed reasonable.

TJ Robb is exactly what anyone could want in a contractor: knowledgeable, intelligent, conscientious and focused on solving the problem. I had an experience recently when TJ was out of town and another contractor had to be called in. The contractor looked at TJ's work in another very tight space in the home and was very impressed at what TJ had been able to do: as impressed as I was. Great work.

Yolo County is not as big on Yelp compared to the Bay Area. So as a Landlord looking for a Handyman, Electrician, Plumber, etc.  One can only use reviews, if there are no referrals or word of mouth to trust.

I was looking for someone to fix a furnace at a property in Woodland. I first called a different company in Woodland w/ only 5 reviews, but had 5 stars.  They did not do a very good job, b/c after their visit the furnace only worked for one day. Then, they tried to charge me for another visit to come back.  
How do I know they did not do the bare minimum, so that they would have to come back again??

I then called Home Depot, and b/c they do not have technicians to install furnaces, they use a third party.  The third party is not very responsive, b/c I had to call and text multiple times to get information on my estimate.  Once I got the estimate, I was told there were other problems he saw separate from the furnace, which in turn would add additional expenses.  Definitely not going with them. Also I cross checked the third party with Yelp and they had mostly good reviews as well, but some bad said the same things about being unresponsive.    

Then I found TJ Robb.  His name sounded familiar with an Electrician I used in Davis.  After calling, it so happened TJ was the same person I used for a previous job.  I had TJ go out to the home in Woodland and he was able to fix the furnace the RIGHT WAY!

TJ was very responsive with phone calls, and his pricing is very fair.  I do not know why I didn't think of TJ sooner and wasted money with other companies.  

Be careful when choosing a business. There are a lot of companies having their friends leave fake reviews to bolster their rating.
You can tell in the Yolo County area b/c the small businesses do not receive many reviews. And the reviews that they do receive, the reviewers have only reviewed one or two places and their profile is bare.  Those aren't real Yelpers.  

I realized the two previous businesses I mentioned above had some fake reviews.  But TJ all his reviews on his page are real.  

Go with TJ Robb, he's a jack of all trades and has a wide array of skills.
