Best Security System Installation 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.

This guy strung me along even though I was willing to help get things done when he gave excuses. He is not professional and am not sure why he was high on the search for a responsible handyman.
Run from this guy! He left me hanging at the last minute and still wouldn't be any help when I offered to pick him up when he gave a weak excuse that his truck wouldn't work. I simply needed him to view the job and give a quote, and I was willing to wait until his truck was fixed to do all the work required. A true loser handyman.

They got someone here quickly to fix our electrical problem with the garbage disposal. It is not fun when your sink doesn't drain.
Dennis was great got it done and everything works much better than before. The price was a little high but the work was done very well with better parts than we had before. Thanks!

Ben was great! I gave him a call in the morning for a quote, he was able to schedule me in the same day and come out in the afternoon. I had two tasks that I needed help with: fixing a spigot and moving the washer and dryer out so I could clean underneath as we had an overflow issue. He was polite, efficient and professional. In just under two hours everything was done. Ben was an absolute perfectionist. He made sure to test out the washer/ dryer after he reconnected both. He noticed that the washer was shaking a lot during the extraction process. So he took extra time to level and make sure everything was in good order.
Will definitely be reaching back out for any future projects!
