Best Appliance Repair in Oakland CA

Several items in our home were in need of repair, including a kitchen light, doorbell and thermostat. Ted (Mr. Fixit) is a great troubleshooter and easily found the source of the problems, getting them fixed one after the other. There are plenty of times when a specialized technician is overkill, and it's better to find someone who can take care of a broad range of smaller tasks quickly. Ted is a perfect handyman. He was also clear about things that were better handled by a specialist.

Basically, Ted was very professional throughout; he even brought indoor shoes to wear while inside our home (something noted by another reviewer). I appreciated the time he took to explain what he was doing while sharing the pros and cons of different approaches to resolving the problem.

We won't hesitate to call him again and would highly recommend him to others!

Quick service, reasonable price, we get our screen door fixed perfectly! Nice and friendly. Explain and communicate well on the pricing is what we like about. We will definitely recommend him for the service and will use him next time. A++++ service.

There is a reason the General SF has 252 five star reviews. It was all around  a really great experience. We had some water damage from the storm in October that needed to get fixed, I was concerned there was mold growing and that it wouldn't be safe for my Family. Yevgeny came by that day to take a look at it, he explained what was going on and reassured me that our house was safe for our family. He spent about an hour looking at the issue and a few other things. He was so thorough and honest we decided to have him fix our issue.

Which was an excellent decision, he is a perfectionist and does incredible work. Not only that but he wants you to be happy and works with you to make sure that whatever he is doing meets your expectations. Not only that but he is kind, patient, and will take the time to answer your questions... no matter how many you have.

We will 100% hire him to do any work that is needed in the future.

Kind regards,
Kim

Keshab was great. Showed up on time, worked efficiently, only billed us for time on site and did a great job. I would hire him back again in a minute. He painted several walls for us and also patched some drywall that needed to be repaired after some electrical work

I'm very picky about house cleaning and Elim and Alexandra did an amazing job. I have a plastic tub that is impossible to get white, even with hours of scrubbing, but Elim was able to get it to a gleaming white. It was miraculous. The communication before was easy and smooth, and they were punctual. I will definitely ask them back for my next deep clean.

Eddy is an awesome plumber! He can literally fix anything!!! Called him for a toilet clog, etc., etc. and came within 30mins!!! He's very friendly and super funny too! He will let you know exactly what's wrong and how he'll fix it. He also doesn't mind when you ask questions (he loves helping ppl)! He's the best!!!

Dave responded to my request for bid and proposal right away by quoting $2500 for the job.  Understand he hadn't even seen the job site at this point.  

So I came back and wrote, well that's a bid but what's your proposal?  What do you propose to do for that $2500?  To which he agreed perhaps he should see the site.  And I agreed and told him that my week was free, just name a date for the visit.

He never responded to that after more than a week had passed by.

Dave might be the best thing since sliced bread for fixing floor problems, but he's totally missing proper project management skills.  He doesn't seem to know what a request for bid and proposal means.  At least with me he didn't show that he did.

I do not recommend him because of his lack of management skills.

If you know me, I don't tolerate Bull crap. But yes, they really are that good. After dealing with four other electricians, two of which never even showed up for their appointments, it''s nice to see someone that knows their stuff, shows up on time, can work around you and charge you what they quoted. Fast, fun and friendly.Will use again for future projects.

Ben is my new go-to handyman! I'd been dealing with a faulty kitchen faucet for months, and Ben was able to evaluate and fix the issue within an hour. His deep expertise, responsiveness and warmth made the whole experience a breeze -- he even took a look at some other fix-it needs around the house, and offered sage advice at no charge. Even my puppy loved him (which is saying a lot!). Wish I could give Ben six stars, he's truly top-notch. I'll definitely hire him in the future, and recommend him to friends.

Customer service is sweet and helpful on the phone, however, they magically require a fee of $59 just for a technician to do a safety check to the area before even doing a bid for work. Sorry, not competitive pricing.
