Best Painting in Oakland CA

I had previously used him for resetting a leaking toilet in one of my bathrooms so was hoping for this next project to go as seamless. I messaged a picture and measurements requesting an estimate for a 7x7 resin shed I needed assembled. His rate was higher than several others, but I figured if I wanted it done correctly I wouldn't go with the cheaper companies. He also mentioned that he has done several of these assemblies. After mentioning I was a repeat customer, he ended up taking $50 off his quoted range so final price was $400. I scheduled with him for his next available appointment the following weekend.

He arrives one hour late (original eta 9-10a but arrived at 11a). At 9:13a he hadn't arrived so I reached out to him, he replied saying he was at another Client's walk through and was running late. I found it odd that he didn't even bother to let me know. This is where the lack of communication started.

He arrives and seems surprised that the shed is a big one. I show him the existing concrete pad where the shed is to be assembled and placed. I let him get to work. Again, I found it odd that he appeared surprised when I had provided all detail and sizes during the estimate request from the beginning. He also mentions later on it's a two man job which leaves me wondering why he said he has done these before. Certainly he would know then.

3.5 hrs later he was done. I went to check out the shed and tested the doors. Immediately I heard the door scrapping on the concrete and saw the doors were offset and did not align properly. I started to inspect the doors to try and figure out what the issue was. I also started checking the locks and handles. Next issue I noticed is there was a lug nut wrench adapter stuck to the back of the door handle. He then tells me passively that he can't get his tool off, it's stuck. At this point I go back to the door issue and he tells me that because it's larger than the concrete pad, the surrounding pavers would need to be leveled in order to level the shed to resolve the door alignment issue. I was shocked that he wouldn't mention the issue BEFORE proceeding with the assembly. No communication at all. If this issue would have been brought to my attention I could have then made a decision to fix and level the pad out before the shed was placed there. During this time he keeps assuring me it has nothing to do with his workmanship. I tell him I'll contact the manufacturer and if there's an issue I'll reach out to him. I assumed he would say sure, if there's any issues I can take a look. No, he just confirmed again that it has nothing to do with his workmanship. I immediately got the tail light warranty vibe which is never a good sign. I then go back to the stuck tool issue. I politely told him I would prefer to not have him leave his tool handing off the back of the handle and if he needed a wrench I could see if I hand one he could use (he showed up in a small sedan not a work truck so I thought maybe he was limited with tools). Before I could finish my sentence he sighs UGGGGHHHHHHH and he huffed and puffed walking away back to his car. At this point it I was not happy. I was paying him over $100/hour and he was being super rude and did a shoddily job. He then returns with a can of lubricant spray and a tool. He sprayed it and slipped his adapter off within 15 seconds. I wasn't surprised, he lacked any type communication or effort to do the job correctly.

If he would have communicated properly from the beginning and warned me of the leveling issues I would have been more than happy to pay him an additional rate to add some pea gravel or sand under the pavers or to even return another day. Now I have to pay someone else to move the shed and level the area out. Hopefully that fixes the door alignment and gap issues as I would not want to contact him again. Customer service, communication and common courtesy are non-existent.

No tip or no further work from me. I just hope I don't have any further issues down the road ( leaks).

I am so happy we found Keshab. He responded promptly to my inquiry and set an appointment to replace our bathroom faucet. Keshab came by as scheduled and did an excellent job. We are so pleased with our new faucet. Thank you Keshab!

I hired Eugene again because we moved into a new place in SF.  He changed out old light fixtures, painted, hung new light fixtures, hung mirrors, built drywall, etc. He is reliable and does great work. I am very appreciative to know Eugene.

Hands down the best cleaning service I've ever hired. Communication on point. Attention to detail was fantastic. I will hire Artistic-Methods again, no doubt.

Mikhail from Right Handyman was highly responsive and very easy to schedule. When looking for handyman on Yelp, I wanted someone with high reviews and offered a reasonable price. Mikhail delivers not only on both, but also highly professional -- he wore a mask and shoe covers, and got all our electrical issues fixed promptly. This included fixing / replacing a dimmer switch, as well as outdoor camera installations that required drilling holes in external walls. Highly recommend Mikhail, and will gladly call him again next time.

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.

Reasonable price. Came on time.  Did a great job taking down old shower stall and hauling it away without that much loud noise and no mess.

Very professional, efficient and on time.  Gets the work done and is very great in communicating about the work that needs to be done. I've hired him very last minute and with no hesitation I've gotten great service at an amazing price. Highly recommend.

Rick, is reliable and handyman. We called him late at night and he came right away for emergency fixed

I had a great experience with Dave The handyman. I called him about 10 in the morning and he showed up two hours later to repair my broken patio door. He was on time, courteous, clean and masked. He's a very practical problem solver and didn't give up on my confusing issue until it was solved.

Can't say enough positive things about the job Damon, Brian and their team did painting the front of my San Francisco house. I wanted it done quickly and they delivered above and beyond my expectations.

In addition to the excellent work, communication was great. Damon was easy to contact, quick to respond, and always in touch with me for updates or questions. Customer service the way it should be.

I called for an estimate for a kitchen remodel. Mr. Unger scheduled to come over on Sunday morning at 9:30 am. He was on time and we proceeded with the kitchen walk thru. He was very straight forward and every time I came up with a clever idea on how I would do it, he explained in details why things have to be done properly and up to code. I felt comfortable that he knows exactly what he is doing. I will not have to worry that our house will burn down when we plug our appliances in. The rough estimate met my expectations and when we decide to proceed with the remodel, I will definitely hire Mr. Unger to do the job.
