Best Floor Installation in Oakland CA

I've been wanting to install a tankless water heater for some time now.  I wasn't expecting my water heater to fail on me as soon as it did, but things happen.  I went out and bought a tankless and then started looking for companies to do the install as that's the only way to preserve the warenty.   I had three different companies in mind, but Innovative Radiant Heating was the company I went with more for the fact that they're local and I like to support local businesses.  We talked, got a quote, and they showed up on time to do the work.  They did a great job and were pleasant to talk to.  Everything works great, and we're stoked.  I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for this type of installation.

Ted was fantastic - professional, courteous, kind and did excellent work! He installed a new faucet and repaired a broken window expertly and quickly, and was able to accommodate my schedule, despite contacting him on short notice. I'll absolutely be calling him again! Highly recommended.

This is the chronology:
- we scheduled for them to come in to do caulking and doorbell installation (2 hours) at Wed 17th, 11AM

- he texted and said his truck broke down at Wed 17th 11:06, we understand, stuff happens, we reschedule for next Friday 19th 11AM (My wife took a day off to wait for him)

-  at Friday 19th 9:53AM (not the scheduled 11AM) he texted saying that he's been knocking and ringing the doorbell, my wife was there at home (she took another day off)  and she heard nothing. He said he's already on his way to Los Gatos.

All of this is documented.

Keshab responded to my request quickly and scheduled an appointment to come by the home and give me an estimate. The quoted price was fair and he worked quickly and stayed in communication. I am very happy with the work and will use the service again.

Eugene was fantastic! We hired him to replace our broken security gate, and he did it at the best rate I could find. Consistently fast response time, and was willing to work with us as the landlord asked for different fixes. Highly recommended.

Called jk plumbing on behalf of my parents who where in need of an urgent kitchen sink repair. JK was upfront, honest, and fair with the pricing of repairs who was able fix their sink in a timely professional manner. 5 stars! Would recommend 100%!!

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!

Did a great job with a door replacement & outdoor blinds hanging. He made sure that everything was to my liking, and was very helpful. Extremely responsive, as I asked for a quote on Thursday and he had the job finished by Friday afternoon. Would highly recommend and look forward to working with him on future projects

Very professional and reliable would recommend 100%. Hector is very knowledgeable and honest. He came to our office to fix some lose tiles and we were more than pleased with his work. He was punctual and explained the work he did to the very last detail.

Our ancient bathroom had leaks in both tub and sink faucets and a phantom flushing toilet. All components original from late 1950s. Gabe showed up and worked miracles. Most components no longer made but he managed to find substitutes and carefully fitted them in. Left no messes for me to clean up. Swept and mopped the floor when done. In addition he was a very pleasant person to have in one's home. Would not hesitate to recommend and will use in future for anything else that comes up.

Had multiple things to get addressed around the house.  Originally requested him to recaulk all bathroom sinks and bathtubs.  Once he got there I added more items like recaulking the countertop backsplash, fixing a loose toilet bowl, installing new shower heads and repairing roof tiles etc.  I thought he'd get overwhelmed and push back as I kept adding more things.  He did not and worked through all of them.  Everything was done with high quality and very detailed.  The house was a rental so the bathtubs were loaded with mold.  They meticulously removed the old caulk and surrounding mold so they had a clean surface to apply the new caulk.  I know for a fact other handymen would not be this detailed.  To top things off, his pricing was fair.  Highly recommend Rudy for your handyman needs.  Very humble guy!

GAXL did a wonderful job on replacing and updating kitchen and bathrooms for me. They were very responsive and came up with great ideas and suggestions. In addition, the work was done professionally, with no delays and it looks fabulous. I appreciated the ease of the project and as an added bonus, they did a great job of cleaning up everything before they left. Thanks, Jose, Jaime and team for the great work.

I had ordered a tankless bidet toilet and needed a hand with installation. Reliable Handyman was not only responsive, but had quoted me online with provided pictures of my current toilet. The plumber came the next day ready to do the installation. However, the new toilet interfered with the water valve and we needed to reroute the line to turn 90 degrees and run along the wall. He explained that in an event of a water leak, I'll want to be able to access the valve outside the toilet and not have it stuck inside. We reschedule for the next day after he bought materials for install.

The installation was smooth. He even helped out at the end with recycling and disposing of the toilet. Appreciated the excellent service at an incredible rate. Would recommend to anyone doing plumbing.

Dave did a great job fixing our metal fence that was not fixed well several years ago.  Communicating with him was a breeze, both while getting a quote and onsite.  He came early, with the right parts for the job.  Wore a mask and took Venmo (contactless).  Charged a reasonable rate.  Would definitely call him for future services.

I've had Damon & his crew (Carlos, Carlitos, Marcos, Samuel) do a couple jobs for me now (these things tend to snowball, ugh, lol) & they've always done top-notch work.

I had a fan in my master bathroom crap out on me, which was weird, since I only bought my place 4 years ago, it was newly remodeled, & I even remodeled some more on top of that. My wife pointed out it wasn't working, but it looked new to me, so I popped the cover to find out...not new at all. New COVER over a fan that was a year younger than the missus. Uh oh. The old lipstick on a pig boogie from the prior owners/ seller. Damn. Hate getting hoodwinked.

So, I think well, better check the 'new' fan in the guest bath too.  Pop THAT shiny, nice cover & ...same drill but even OLDER. Some mid-80's (I think) giant 13 circular fan they don't even make anymore. Double ugh.

Last stop: laundry room. Final fan, pop the cover...whew, it's actually a new-ish fan. 1 outta 3 ain't bad, right? /sigh

So I put out the feelers for an electrician (I had 2 dead outlets, 1 indoor, 1 outdoor as well) & after doing the online quote thing w/ Yelp, I got in touch w/ Damon @ Berkeley Home Repair. Funny dude, super helpful, quick & responsive. He schedules his electrician, Carlitos, to come out ASAP, for what I think is gonna just be a basic fan install & outlet fix job. Nope.

Carlitos goes into the attic & discovers the ducts are all wrong. 3 fans running thru 2 ducts, both bathrooms on the same 4 line, & laundry room on some weird 3 duct. Now, you can get away with 4, but 6 is code & preferred, & every fan has to be on its own dedicated/ independent duct, or you're just blowing moisture from room to room & into the attic. Not good. We crawl the attic together & confirm I need a 3rd roof penetration & new ducts. So much for cheap & easy. Damn.

Damon adjusts the bid (as gently as possible, considering my costs just went up almost 10x) & I wind up with 2 brand new Panasonic Whisper Quiet fans (amazing. Almost TOO quiet), a new roof penetration & cap, new independent 6 ducts for each fan, an excellent sheetrock patch & paintjob on my guest bath ceiling (prior, old-timey fan was just way too huge compared to current models) AND Carlitos fixed both dead power outlets (one of which turned out to be an arcing short/ broken wire inside the wall, which we were lucky to catch before a fire).

All the workers were amazing to work with & did great on their specific parts of the now much larger order. Everyone worked quickly &, despite the gig snowballing far beyond the expected, Damon priced fairly & had the work done as fast as possible with minimal intrusion & inconvenience (crucial during these pandemic work from home times)

Tho it was obviously a bummer to have a small job turn into a much bigger & more expensive one, I always felt like I was in good hands with Damon, his communication was clear, direct, quick & honest, & the outcome was excellent.

I'll definitely be using Berkeley Home Repair for future work, since homeownership often means nasty surprises like the one I got ain't all that rare, unfortunately. Heh. At least now I know who to call to get sorted fairly & quickly.  Thanks fellas!

Will try to post pics when I get a chance...but most of this was behind the scenes work, or what my buddy likes to call invisible money, heh.

The first time I hired Bedr was to install a portable dishwasher and washing machine in my old apartment.  Bedr spent well over an hour and did everything he could to get the machine working, but I was missing some pieces so, alas, it didn't completely work.  Although this was not Bedr's fault, he told me I did not have to pay him.  I did not take Bedr up on that offer, but it shows what a stand up guy he is.  (Bedr set up the appliances to where they were functioning, but I never got around to replacing the missing parts before I moved, so that's on me.)

After moving to my new place, I have hired Bedr several times, primarily to assemble furniture.  All of the items he assembled were done so according to the photos on Amazon, unlike the piece of furniture I tried to assemble myself.  All remain in perfect condition.  I would definitely recommend Bedr to anyone who needs handyman services.

Ben totally saved the day!

We suffered a break-in attempt yesterday morning, which ended up damaging our building's front door frame to the point that it would no longer lock. This obviously needed to get fixed ASAP and I knew that same day availability for a big job like this would be a challenge. Luckily I found Ben's page and gave him a call. He was able to fit me into his afternoon and worked until sundown to get the door frame repaired with new lumber and reinforced. He was polite, helpful, and a total pleasure to work with, and we went to bed soundly knowing that the front door was now even more secure than it was before the incident. Thanks again Ben!
