Best Remodeling in Oakland CA

Many bothersome little issues had accumulated in our house when we contacted Handyman Heroes.  Vince came and completed 17 tasks in three hours!  We'll definitely schedule another appointment to resolve some additional issues.  Handyman Heroes makes it easy.

Honey Do! Handyman Service (Paul Cardona)  most certainly lives up to his 5-Star Rating! I hired him to assemble an 8x8 Toolshed (See Photos).  I interviewed various others for an estimate and his price was about in-between others I had interviewed.
I selected him not because of price but when I spoke to him he seemed so professional, and I felt from his outstanding Yelp reviews, the experience and quality of his work was more reassuring for the  big project I had, and I was right on target!

I'm  so pleased with the final outcome of my 8x8 tool-shed.  I was a little hesitant he was tackling this big project by himself (others I interviewed had at least 2-people, and they were more expensive since I was probably paying for 2-people to do the job).
Some people work their best by themselves and Paul is one of those - He explained that with just himself, he knows the quality of the work will be met to his expectations.

Paul is  a Perfectionist in every detail!  The tool-shed had a defective-flaw that meant possibly delaying the install so the store could send another part ... But guess what!  Paul figured out how to fix the flaw so he was able to continue to install the shed (and he didn't even charge me extra to work around the problem it had!)

What would have taken 2-people to do in 5 hours, he completed by himself in the same time frame.  

I was so impressed with the quality and his work ethics I'm having him come back to install a new porch light, assemble some patio-chair  benches, fix a faucet, fix broken fireplace screen, & repair linoleum kitchen floor.  He is truly a Jack of all trades!  I'll be revisiting this review with my future projects :-)
Thanks Paul for the top-notch work you provide!

A friend of mine helped me change the kitchen faucet and the garbage disposal.  Unfortunately, they were not installed correctly, and I faced other problems later, where the water was leaking from underneath and the garbage disposal had a shortage.  I called several contractors but they were not available.  Luckily, I came across Genral SF on yelp.  When I called, Yevgeny answered the phone and showed up at my house within 5-10 minutes.  He immediately recognized both issues and fixed the problems.  I was very grateful for Yevgeny's prompt response, professionalism, kindness, and honesty.  In fact, I have kept his number in my phone and plan on calling him in the future if I need help with plumbing or electricity.

I've had Elim and his team come in to clean my house twice now and they are amazing! From setting up the appointment, to the communication and the efficient and detailed cleaning, they have been a joy to work with. They go the extra mile, cleaning and organizing in ways that I've never thought about and suggesting other fixes that might be needed. I don't know how they do it but they always leave the bathtub so sparkling too! I'm particularly excited to use them because they are able to handle other small handyman projects. It's so helpful to have a team that is so multi-purpose. I highly recommend them and am so happy to have found them on yelp.

Leo and his crew are really great! They got the job done and I waited for a few months before writing the review just to make sure the problem didn't come back, and it hasn't. Hard working team that didn't stop until they got to the root of the problem which turned out to be bigger than expected. I know who to go to whenever I have any plumbing issues from now on. Highly recommend!

Keshab is a miracle worker! We were having issues with the hot water in our shower.  I had two different major plumbing companies come to check it out. They both said it was a pretty complicated fix and to have a handyman come to dismantle the fixture and then they could come and do the plumbing work. Keshab came by to dismantle the fixture, took one look at the issue and realized all he had to do was rinse sediment out of the shower cartridge to fix it. Smart, simple, efficient. Now we have hot water again!

Carlos came over today from Lance plumbing. To be be frank, I was unsure because the moment I asked for a quote from several plumbing companies for my water heater that stopped working, I got some really high estimates. Same experience with my roof leak and other work.

What I found most important in deciding who to go with was honesty and clear explanation of what works what was needed and why. And every time everything worked out, it came down to the character of the person which I'd like to say I can discern talking to people. The ones that are really friendly and try asking about your personal life - your kids and family and the weather/small talk, to make you try to trust them....fake. They're doing it to butter you up so you won't say no to their prices. If you're unsure, just ask yourself if the work justifies the cost and compare with others. I know I'm stating the obvious but don't get suckered.

Carlos from Lance I can say with confidence is an honest and sincere guy. From quote to work, he's maintained integrity and workmanship I wish others would use as their standard. True to his explanations, there was more to what i could see. Yes, i tried youtubing that made DIY seem simple and i thought i could just replace the thermocouple or the burner myself but my unit was 15 yrs old and Carlos explained in detail why i needed to replace it. We all know things deteriorate over time and water heaters are no exception. Not only will things break down but during its course, it can adversely impact other parts of the house. Rust is one of them (see pics). I didn't know that there was so much rust in my water tank. I could only imagine it running through my house thru the pipes and faucets and into my family's digestive systems!

Anyway, listen to what you're told and see if it makes sense. With Carlos, it not only made sense but it's no nonsense, very reasonable pricing (definitely better than most out there) and my water heater is now perfect.

Highly recommend. Integrity and straightforward. Appreciate the service, pointed out what was needed and was clear and honest.

Very good 'man for the job'.  Reliable, intelligent honest and direct.  Fair prices & considerate regarding masks and removing shoes. We have used his services a few times over the past few years, and now he's our go-to Plumber.

Right Handyman did an amazing job on an over 6 hour project that involved many varied tasks including electrical and plumbing.

I was given a very competitive hourly rate quote and an able team of 2 showed up on time and worked methodically on all the items on my check list.  Both were very competent hard working and super nice. Overall it was a great experience working with Right Handyman and I will definitely use them again for all my handyman needs!

I Had the HC crew (Brad Jr., Jose, Kevin) out this past week for a number of jobs - new water piping to the street, emergency shut-off valve for water and gas, new top for an odd water heater flue, new work to have the tub fill, dryer hose. They came with a good work attitude, and cleaned up as needed, even the lawn area that had to be dug up. They even threw in a new contraption to stop the toilet from groaning. They came in at the lowest bid, but the work couldn't have been better. Happy with the experience and the crew.

Ed was referred to us by a trustworthy friend and I can see why! He was able to come out and help with our toilet issue WAY earlier than I would have ever expected. Also very communicative, friendly, and honest with his assessment. Very happy we called him!

We had a dilapidated wooden walkway that needed replacement. GAXL did a beautiful job for a reasonable price. They were very professional and did the work promptly. I would happily recommend them or use them again.

I had a front door with several problems. The handle and deadbolt needed to be replaced and the door was sticking because the house had settled over many years. It was clear that Dave has had a lot of experience with doors. He knew exactly where it was sticking and how to adjust it. The door handle replacement wasn't straight forward because it's a 40 yr old door that doesn't fit today's standard door handles. He had to drill a larger hole for the handle and another hole on the edge of the door for the deadbolt to slide through. He was well prepared with an impressive set of tools. Dave got everything to fit perfectly and now both the door and lock glide like butter.
The term handy man doesn't do him justice. Dave is a skilled craftsman.

Our experience was positive and consistent with other reviews. Damon and his team care about their work and go out of their way to get the job done promptly and professionally. We had a 240V EV plug and an extra outlet installed by Daniel. We also ended up needing to cover the electric wires and Damon was able to send out Pedro who installed the sheetrock. Everyone we talked to was super responsive, made sure we knew what was happening (by phone/text, photos, and yelp), and generally made us feel taken care of. We are now making a list of projects they could help us with and are already talking to them about rebuilding a large section of our fence.

Rasheed is the best. He installed a new water heater at a very reasonable rate. He is proficient and professional at all levels. He even replaced a corroded pipe with a copper one at no extra charge. I recommend him highly and without reservation. I will be contacting him for future plumbing needs.

Beder was super helpful and friendly. He arrived early, solved all the problems we asked for help on (plumbing and lighting) quickly and was done in an hour. I will definitely recommend him to friends and use him again for future projects.

After several failed attempts with previous contractors for kitchen remodeling . I did give Mr. Unger a try before giving up on searching contractors on yelp.Dmitry and his team were very professional. They gave me start date as last week of november and kept the promise. Dmitry and his team explained every task in detail on what is the next task. My husband and I especially had amazing experience throughout kitchen remodeling and walk through each day tasks with Margus and George. We ended up extending contracts to do lights for entire house. It only took 5 weeks to complete entire project.

At the end of the project we had issue with microwave and oven unit after contract was complete right before Christmas. I did contacted Margus to help me with replacing new appliance... he took time out from his family time came by and finish installation and helped to bake cookies for Christmas.

I would highly recommend Dmitry and his team ( Margus and George) for any kitchen remodeling work. I would definitely give him first preference for any future contracts at our house.

Albion plumbing is the best plumbers I have ever had. I have used them exclusively for the past 2& 1/2 years. They have done about 20 different jobs for me and have done a great job every time.  They are on time, professional and their prices are reasonable.  I have used many other plumbers in the past 20 years to work on my buildings in Oakland and Alameda. I got lucky the first time I found Albion Plumbing on Yelp; they did a very good job, so I called them again. Each time I call them they do a good job, so now I only call Albion plumbing whenever I need a plumber.  I highly recommend them.
