Best Installs Customer Purchased Materials in Oakland CA

My in-wall heater had stopped working, and after checking the pilot and circuit breaker I had exhausted my ability to resolve the issue. HVAC companies wouldn't service in-wall heaters, so I thought to try a handyman.

I contacted Ted and he responded quickly, asking for photos of the thermocouple--a part inside the heater, which he correctly guessed was the issue. He had me order the part and scheduled a time to fix the heater when the part was due to arrive.

When he came, Ted replaced the part and while doing so found a separate problem with the igniter. He explained that the heater would still work, as we could ignite the pilot manually, but would try to clean the part of its corrosion first to mitigate any need for a replacement. That worked! No need to order another part and wait. He explained that he always tries to fix things first--within reason--before replacing them, an approach I greatly appreciate.

Not only is Ted very skilled and professional, but he's great for conversation and polite. We don't wear shoes in our house and I didn't even need to ask him to remove his, he already had.

I will absolutely hire Ted again for other projects, and recommend him to others.

Paul is always prompt and reliable. He is extremely knowledgeable and is upfront on pricing. He is quick to respond to inquiries. This is my go to expert for everything plumbing in the South Bay.

Fantastic experience! Very skilled, efficient and communicative ! Keshaab came over to do some random fixes around the house and he finished them all quickly with high quality work. He was also innovative in a couple of tricky fixes. Highly recommend him!

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!

This is one of the best companies I have worked with.  From the very beginning the service was outstanding at every level.  Suzie in the office kept me informed of progress and provided frequent updates.  Jose was very informative and answered all of my questions and had great suggestions about our project.  All of the workers were very friendly.  Hats off especially to Luis.

All the above would not matter if the workmanship was poor.  However, every detail was performed with the utmost care, and they went out of their way to do an excellent job at every level.  Far more than I would have expected.  Their cost for this job was very reasonable.

I cannot recommend GAXL highly enough, and they would be my first choice for any future project.

Had to patch a hole behind the dishwasher.
Everyone else I called was shunned because they didn't want to touch the dishwasher.

David came to the rescue. Handled it fine and efficiently. Even improved the dishwasher situation due to the uneven floors. I know many handymen don't want to go anywhere near plumbing or appliances, but David was knowledgeable, confident, and able to deliver.

Damon's team was kind and efficient. They were honest and communicative the entire time and did a great job problem solving during a relatively tricky, and extensive, tub and shower redo. They're a wonderfully personable team and we'd definitely hire them to help us with future projects!

We had to do some electrical work, wall painting and some other. Bedr came to take a look and provided us with an estimate, and a timeline for the projects to be done. All projects were done with a high quality. Bedr is extremely punctual. Is is easy to work with Bedr as he is a fabulous communicator. It is  challenging to find a handyman who is knowledgeable, can do all kinds of projects with a high quality and accuracy, intelligent and a great communicator. Bedr possesses all these qualities.  I will go back to Bedr for all future handyman projects.

I totally recommend Ben. He is responsive and very courteous. He did an outstanding job in assembling my wardrobe cabinet.

Thank you so much, Ben!
