Best Smoke Detector Installation in San Francisco CA

This is the second time I've called Bedr to help me with some handyman type work, and again he's overdelivered! He's super friendly, works fast, and is an awesome communicator. So long as I'm in San Francisco, I'll be calling Bedr and Hassle-Free Handyman for everything home related!

Needed some work done and Ben gave us a fast and very reasonable estimate on the work. He was responsive and very accommodating with scheduling... which was a pretty quick turnaround to get the job done. When he arrived, he was super courteous, polite, and knowledgeable - not just knowledgeable about what we hired him for (mounting several things around the house) but also lots of other things. He was also well-prepared with all the tools, screws, anchors, etc that might be needed. We will not hesitate to hire Ben again in the future.

I hired Damon and his team to install a 12x14 gazebo that I bought at Costco. The final results were beautiful! I would highly recommend Berkeley Home Repair. Great communication and very responsive. If there's any change in plans they'll let you know right away. They arrived 30 minutes earlier than planned and got right to work! They did an awesome job! If you choose to go with them, you won't regret it.

This was our first time using Handyman Hero's but would use them again in a heartbeat.
We had them install a bathroom vanity and sink / facet.

The handyman (Vthey sent out was professional, knowledgeable and used his time wisely.

We were very pleased and recommend them for sure.

We had some various household tasks we needed help with, including some woodworking. Mike was able to schedule us in last minute and he even arrived early. He quickly took care of our tasks and then generously stayed longer to help with other tasks. Mike was fast, cooperative, and very friendly. He was such a huge help and we will certainly be hiring him again!

I set up an appointment for a technician to come out and give me a quote for AC Installation and possible new ducting in Oakland.  I spent time on the phone setting up this appointment ahead of time, providing my address, confirming my location, and explaining what services we were interested in.

I received a call from the technician thirty minutes before the start of my appointment window on the day of my scheduled appointment, and was told that they do not really service my area (Oakland), and that they would rather not come all the way out to provide an estimate if I was still in the process of gathering other quotes.  I was told that once I had finished gathering other quotes, to let them know and they would match whatever the lowest quote was.  

That's all well and good, but honestly what is the point of that?  If I already have a quote that I'm good with, why would I then take it to a different company that couldn't even be bothered to keep an appointment THEY made and CONFIRMED, and inspect my house for themselves.  If you have a good, established relationship with this company, I suppose that could make sense, but I'm a brand new customer and if this is any indication of how the service will be, count me out.

I am not happy that we blocked time off of our work calendars today, moved items around to provide access to the crawl space, and essentially had our time wasted for no reason.

Prompt communication, got the work done on schedule and within the estimate and cleaned up afterwards. Also very COVID conscious which is appreciated!

I worked with Alex at Divine plumbing for quick fixes including snaking some tricky bathroom sinks, but he also spent time with me to talk through options on a range of projects ranging from new toilet installations to running a new water line for an ice maker.

Divine has their act together on the digital front, sending pricing proposals via email and being super responsive to emails. In addition, you don't get a hard sell and they spend time to talk through this pros and cons of each package. I'd highly recommend.

General SF is my go-to for anything gas line/plumbing!  I've tried the guys you see from the big plumbing companies with the vans all over SF and they're hard to get a hold of and I'm realizing do a mediocre job.  Yevgeny of General SF is crazy responsive and does the job right.  This is the second time I've called him and he's great.  He made time for me same-day, quickly identified the problem with my sink, went out of his way to go out at night to pick up some parts, called to see if he could come back same-night (!) and totally fixed the problem. Friendly and honest. He's also licensed as a GC which really shows when he explains the options for fixing problems.  Price was beyond fair and he even let my 2 year old feel like he was involved in the repair!  Can't say enough good things about Yevgeny!

I had dave come help me with my fence. Kinda a diy, it was a side wood fence that didn't open, or close. I wanted Dave to add henges and a lock, to be able to use it as a walk way to back yard. He came within a few days, worked hard and made my vision possible with a reasonable price.

Thank you Dave! I'll be calling you back with future house projects!

We have been enjoying the warmth of a beautiful and efficient heating system since the first cold week of Fall and now even more as we head into this cold Winter, and we are So Thankful
....Thanks to Ongaro and Son's and a little skunk that got into our crawl space and into the ducting during the last heat wave of the Summer, we have been Warm ever since!
We had also been smelling the scent of gas near our 40 year old heater, and all this together finally prompted us to act.

We looked into local companies, what they offered, and how they were reviewed.  We liked that Ongaro had been around for so long and that they serviced both plumbing and heating, and electrical, which is our 2023 project.  
During their first visit out to assess our heating system, Josh noticed that our pressure regulator valve from the street was completely frozen.... Kind of like a time bomb waiting to explode!
That's why our shower/sink fixtures kept failing!!  Thanks Josh for noticing that!!
Our water heater was also failing!!
Ongaro promptly assembled a crew to start with the water heater and upgrade our system to Code!!  There were a few challenging issues, and foreman, Ian Clark came out and beautifully made it all RIGHT!!
Thank You Ian!!!
Nicholas Nielsen came out to survey our heating needs, and help us understand our best options.  He carefully measured the square footage of every room in our home and assessed the heating needs of each.  He helped us to make the most efficient and cost effective decisions for our home and comfort.  And Nicholas cares....
When we had a concern about another aspect of our project, Nick reached out to Mr. Ongaro, himself, to get immediate response for us!!  Thank you Nick!
We have been delayed in sharing our appreciation for the excellent work of Ongaro's crew, until we were able to assess the duct work in our crawl space.  
My husband, Shaun, went down in the crawl space just yesterday to survey further insulation needs, and was quite impressed with the quality in which they ran and insulated the duct work!  I saw it, too, and was equally impressed!!  Nice job Dylan, Jonah and Tyler!!!  
And I was personally SO GRATEFUL that their new intake grate fit the space of our existing grate space..... to perfection!!!  No cutting a new hole.... No Sanding, re- painting and re-trimming!!!  What a RELIEF!!!
Thank you Ongaro Professionals!!  We SO APPRECIATE YOU ALL!!!
Sincerely,
Maria and Shaun Treadway
