Best Floor Repair in Oakland CA

We knew our house had radiant heat set up, but the boiler was old and had not been working. For 3+ years we were trying to find someone who would help us confirm that the pipes in the floor are fully functional and have no leaks. Ramnar was incredible - he came to evaluate what was in the house and what was necessary. Less than a week later, he came with a temporary boiler and set it up within 2 hours to run and test the tubes. He then used a heat sensor to show that the system was working throughout the entire house and we can't wait to swap out the temporary boiler and install a permanent one. Highly recommend!

I hired Ted to assemble a large and complicated office desk. Ted was wonderful to work with!  He patiently worked through assembly instructions that were unclear and unhelpful, but Ted managed to assemble the desk beautifully in spite of the poor instructions.  His rates were incredibly reasonable and he was efficient, responsive, and professional. I would hire him again in the future for home or office needs.  Thank you, Ted!

Posting previous review from old account. Original post date 7/8/16.

Paul did an excellent job fixing our kitchen sink, mounting a baby gate to the walls, and installing a fixture in our kitchen.

I'll start from the beginning. I found Paul through Yelp, and out of the 5 handymen I sought out, Paul was the quickest to respond with all of my questions. Initially, we needed just the sink fixed and the gate mounted. But when he finished with those two jobs, he asked if there was anything else and we did need one fixture installed in the kitchen. He completed that job no problem and cleaned everything up before leaving.

On top of that, he was not only friendly to me but he was very friendly to our dogs; one of which barks at any sudden movement.

We have a few more projects that need to be completed before September, and I know I will already be contacting him again for those when we're ready. Thank you, Paul!

Highly recommend Keshab -- would work with him again in a heartbeat. He was really responsive and a great communicator to coordinate the work, was on time, talked me through options, and did high quality work with a lot of attention to detail (in my case, both painting and carpentry).

Eugene was extremely responsive, took a look at my photos, and gave me a breakdown of the price estimate of parts and labor. The morning of his arrival, he sent me a message with his updated ETA that he was running 30 min late. At the end, he arrived less than 10 min after our original appointment time -- most other repairman do not giving me an update like that! His price estimate was accurate. After Eugene removed the housing unit of my bathroom exhaust fan, he left with the original part, bought the replacement motor, and returned within 30 min. I was impressed by Eugene's speed, communication, and professionalism (wore a mask, brought his own step ladder, showed the finished work, etc.).

GREAT service! Honest prices! A man of his word! He just left our house but I cannot wait to recommend Joe from J&K plumbing.

He arrived early in the morning with a smile on his face, very personable. He was easy to contact to begin with, fast responder, and makes you feel at ease with confirmations through phone and text!

We needed to get our hose bib replaced, I sent him a picture and he knew exactly what was needed.

We found that it was actually clogged! Wads of paper towel from who knows where! (What's up Union City?)

He did a great job blow torch and all. I think he even did a little extra by adding a female adapter, which is great for if there are any future problems! I didn't feel cheated like other companies in the past who over charged us. I also didn't feel like we were burdening him with our problems, he seems to love what he does!

At the end he gave us a receipt and a 30 day warranty right on the spot! Unheard of! Just goes to show that he cares about his work and he makes his customers feel comfortable with him. Very professional, he will definitely be our go-to guy! Because he says no matter what the time or holiday, he doesn't hike up the price.  

Overall experience: professional, on the customers side, awesome!

Was really pleased with the service! Communication was great, the price was very reasonable, and they really took the time to focus on the areas I mentioned. Will definitely be using them again!

We had our electrical panels upgraded and one of them left a hole in our master bedroom closet that needed drywall repair quickly.  I reached out to Agustin Jaime over Yelp and he got back to me right away.  I sent a picture of what I needed done and he gave me a quick quote.  He was able to come out the next day and patched the hole in less than an hour.  

He's a really nice guy and also showed me some pics of other work he's done that looked really nice (kitchen backsplashes, painting, etc.).  I'm sure I'll hire him again for another job!

This is our 6th complete bathroom remodel in 3 different homes over the past 10 years.  I've also done quite a bit of home construction in a previous lifetime and am avid DIY'er. I'm very demanding on the quality of work. I've worked with a large number of remodeling crews, bath and whole home. Most of these are marginal with average or below quality.  Roman's team is the best with outstanding quality.  We could not be more pleased.  We had a cracked shower in a bathroom that we'd considered remodeling for quite a while. I was concerned the crack was due to underlying floor issues in our 25 year old home. As everyone knows, it is nearly impossible to find skilled help now. I discovered Roman through Yelp.  He was very responsive with fair prices and agreed to provide staff to diagnose the crack.  This initial work enabled me to further assess his team. After working with them for a couple of days we decided to remodel the entire bathroom: new shower with 24x12 tiles, same tiles on floor, custom 3/8 glass shower walls on 2 sides, new vanity, Hansgrohe faucets and controls, new baseboards, and repainting all walls and ceiling.  We encountered far more than the normal problems.  Roman quickly gave me fair and modified pricing to handle the additional tasks and his team quickly adjusted. The result is world class quality at very fair rates.  The tile work is impeccable. All corners are perfect 90 degrees and all surfaces flat, vertical and horizonal.  I put levels everywhere to verify.  They consistently proactively pointed out problems in the previous construction they could have hidden and would have resurfaced years later as apparently normal maintenance.  This was invaluable. Their attention to detail is outstanding.  For example, they caulked all baseboard lower and upper touch points to the floors and walls.  The caulk lines are perfect. The painting is spot on with exact lines where the walls and ceiling meet with different colors. They spray painted the doors which had many irregular corners.  They consistently went the extra mile to do things right.  The European style vanity required much customization for the drain and water lines.  They expertly modified the vanity and drains as well as the heat vent below.  We wanted a clean modern look.  The result is perfect. We could not be more pleased. We always use Roman and his team for home remodels in the future.

Super responsive! He answered during a job, took my info and said he would check to confirm his availability for the next morning to help with a clogged toilet as soon as he finished his current job. Confirmed within 1.5 hours that he'd be there first thing the next day. On top of that he was super gracious when I cancelled the appointment that evening after someone in my house cleared the clog. If we get another stubborn clog I'm calling him first. Definitely 2 Thumbs Up on courtesy and response time !!!

I have hired Rudy for  granite countertop and cabinets installation.His work is very clean and charge for that work is reasonable. He brought back the color to match with other cabinets by applying perfect stain. And also he finished the work on time. I am  recommending him  for the handyman services.

Jose was fantastic to work with. He responded in a timely manner, and came out to give me an estimate the next day. His crew was professional, friendly, and polite. They did great work at a reasonable price. They showed me pictures and video of the work they completed in the crawl space under part of the house. I recommend them and am thinking of using them for another project we have.

I am writing to express my appreciation for the excellent work you have done for me recently. Your professionalism and attention to detail have made my experience with you truly outstanding.

I have used your services multiple times, and every time you have exceeded my expectations. From the moment I contacted you to schedule the appointment, you have been courteous, prompt, and reliable. You arrived on time, fully equipped, and ready to tackle any job that needed attention.

Your workmanship is truly exceptional. Whether it was repairing a leaky faucet, fixing a damaged wall, or installing new light fixtures, you always completed the work with precision and care. You paid attention to even the smallest details and made sure everything was done to my satisfaction.

Moreover, you were always respectful of my property, ensuring that everything was left clean and tidy after the job was done. I never had to worry about any mess left behind.

Thank you for being a reliable and trustworthy handyman. Your dedication to your work is evident in the high-quality results you consistently deliver. I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a skilled and reliable handyman.

Texted, no follow up. I'm pretty sure he's a busy guy but a yes or no would be nice. We ended up DIY-ing the project anyways.

We had a great experience with Damon, Carlos, and the whole team at Berkeley Home Repair. We wanted to reclaim a small corner of a kitchen where an old water heater, long since removed, once stood. Carlos & his team removed a small partial wall, patched up the drywall, removed some old exposed piping, and reflooring the area, all in about four hours. The work was completed to our pre-agreed specifications and at a fair rate.

Communication from Damon before & after the job was prompt & clear, and Carlos & his team were friendly & helpful throughout the work day. We appreciated that they covered the floors & furniture in adjacent rooms (not just the kitchen) with plastic sheeting before work began, ensuring barely any dust was left behind after the work was complete.

I rarely leave Yelp reviews, but had to submit one for Damon & his team at Berkeley Home Repair. We'll definitely be using them for future home repairs and I recommend them without reservation.

This is the second time I've called Bedr to help me with some handyman type work, and again he's overdelivered! He's super friendly, works fast, and is an awesome communicator. So long as I'm in San Francisco, I'll be calling Bedr and Hassle-Free Handyman for everything home related!

Ben was great to work with. We had him come out to help replace a garbage disposal unit. He was the fastest to give me an available slot within the next 24h out of 5 other handymen on Yelp and was easy and smooth to communicate with via text. He was knowledgeable at the job and very efficient at getting the work done, as well as fastidious e.g. during tidyup. I would recommend Ben!
