Honestly, I've had so many not-great experiences with various handymen over the years, that I procrastinated looking for yet another one. But when we needed to change out an old bathroom vanity for a new one, we knew we had to get serious about it. And if you hire a plumber to do the work, which DOES involve some plumbing, then it costs way more. I resigned myself to the search and literally just contacted the most popular handyman service in my town based on Yelp reviews. Guess what? thank goodness I did! 805's Handyman (NOT to be confused with "805 Handyman") responded right away--even though it was a Sunday and the World Cup games were on. I uploaded pics, sent in the details, got an estimate, and made an appointment. On the day of, a nice truck drove up with the logo painted proudly on the side (not a guy in a fancy sports car, like handyman #9). Two sturdy guys came in and got down to business right away--no fuss, all smiles, and dare I say it? Like they loved what they do. (Unlike handyman #7 who was a former engineer and complained the whole time, even refusing to do some tasks!) Long story shorter, the bathroom vanity switcheroo turned out to be bigger and messier project than expected. It ended up involving some retiling, grouting, electrical adjustments, alterations to trim, painting--and the plumbing bits and installation and removal. The workers were quiet, helpful, communicated the whole time and were just generally old-school excellent (unlike handyman #4, who was nice, but got everything crooked and a bit wonky, bless his heart). The 805's Handyman workers did ALL the plumbing/installing/electrical/tile work/painting--the whole shebang. And the end result is a sweet transformation for our upstairs bath (I also asked them to take care of a few more items on my to-do list, which they did quickly and again, with smiles). The whole thing was very gratifying. So much so, that the next time something in our house needs fixing, I will actually look forward to hiring 805's Handyman again. We're lucky to have them in the Ventura area and they are popular on Yelp for very good reasons. read more

Patrick and the team here at 805's Handyman rock! I've been on the lookout for a reliable handyman in Ventura county for some time now and after working a recent small project with them, I know I'll be using them again as my regular repair people. I communicated with them through yelp and then we took to contact by phone/text. They were super communicative and prompt on setting up a date for repairs. They worked around my schedule which was appreciated and followed through without issue. I had them work on an outdoor electrical/lighting fixtures and Patrick did it with ease. He came with all his supplies and was prepared, he swapped out my old, ugly lighting fixtures and put in the new ones no issue. He was careful but prompt with getting this task complete. Very nice guy and someone you could trust and who did a honest thorough job. Aside from doing great work and being professional, the price point was also very reasonable compared to ten other quotes I got (yes, I do my research). They are affordable, professional and most importantly they did a great job. Even my neighbors watching from the outside were impressed and came over to take some business cards. I know I'll be locking them in for some more appointments and repairs in the near future. Great work and happy to have a trustworthy handyman in the area. read more

I needed some patchwork done on a door jamb and other places that pets had tried to chew up. Service was easy to set up, fast and affordable. Only wish I had called earlier. Thank you Pat, Louie and 805's Handyman! read more

These two are awesome. Called them to install an over the range microwave and they were out the next morning to install. Communicated great and installed the microwave. Ran into an electrical problem and were able to take care of that as well. Highly recommend and will be calling for future projects. read more

We've been in our home 3 years and we've had several visits from Patrick and his "handy men." They nail it every time! Yes, pun intended. But seriously, these folks take on the projects we've had for them, carpentry, repairs, mounts, installations, plumbing, all sorts of odds and ends... They're all super likable, good guys where you can work in your home office and do your thing while they're at work. Or if you can't be at home, they've got it covered. Pet-friendly, our kitten adored them. Other awesomeness? Patrick is good about communicating. Which is often rare with contractors. You truly get value in what you pay for with 805's Handyman. Well done and on all the jobs you've done for us, and rest assured we'll be seeing you again! read more

We just had 805's do a couple minor repairs in our home and we were very happy with Pat and Rick. They are really nice guys and they fixed our troublesome cabinet hinges where the screw holes had gotten messed up as well as a loose faucet handle. We had attempted unsuccessfully to fix these problems so it was great to have them taken care of. We felt they charged a fair price for the time it took them and we are pleased to have someone we can call in the future for home repairs. And Patrick who answered my call and manages the scheduling was also very pleasant and responsive. Thank you! read more

Patrick and his team are artists with quality craftsmanship that make this company stand out above others! Communication is outstanding with ease of scheduling. The precision of their work and going the extra mile for their clients is a detail that leaves a lasting impression. The scope of their knowledge allows them to literally fix, build, create anything! Your needs will be met 100%! Thank you Patrick! read more

They gave me copies of their licensing and insurance as trustees need to assure they are protecting the assets of the trust. For larger jobs, I will ask for the contractors license, as well. This was a small job of putting new knobs on drawers and cabinets. The men who came out were concerned about my safety and taped a broken knob until the replacement arrives so I wouldn't cut myself. New knobs look great. I would have put them in myself, but once I saw them, I knew that the current holes were not big enough and needed drilling. Thank you. read more

I needed someone to install 4 bike pulleys in my garage. This company did a great job! They were very responsive and professional in their communication and did a great job on the task.

Pat was very communicative before and during our repair. The job was completed in a timely manner. Pat did the initial install of a utility door in our garage, and had a different crew come back to finish the details (trim & paint). The detail crew was not so detailed. They had to come back again to finish an area they missed, and to clean up some messy areas. After that, all is good. read more

I called for help fixing what I thought was a leaky garbage disposal. Patrick showed up within the hour and gave me a very reasonable estimate to fix the leak. As it turns out, Patrick discovered there was no leak and made adjustments to the disposal. He recommended I not spend the money to replace the disposal just yet. He was so honest, and I really appreciated that! The estimate was free and he offered to come back the same day if I found the leak again! Outstanding service, very reliable and honest. read more

Love these guys! They have done 2 jobs for me, and are sure to do more. Any little extra thing I sprung on them was no problem. Friendly, fair and trustworthy. I had a nightmare of a re-do that was not expected when we started. They handled it with a smile! Estimates were fair and accurate. I was in and out of my house like a crazy person, trying to get some other things accomplished. No problem leaving them on their own. When I got back, the job was done, their work clean up and the result looked great! As an added bonus, a couple of the thing I thought needed done, they advised against. The honest recommendations saved me a ton of money! read more

I would use them again. read more

Bottom line is they got the job done well and without a headache . Patrick Estrada was professional and organized on the job and in terms of making the appointment. The job was an installation of interior door framing which a different handyman had cancelled twice. read more

I can't say enough about Patrick Estrada, the handyman with "805's Handyman." The day before our out of town guests were to arrive, a whole wall of outlets stopped working‍. I could feel the onset of a panic attack..... I can't afford an electrician a week before Christmas!! I posted a frantic request for a handyman/woman on Nextdoor. Within minutes, Patrick, responded that he might be able to help me, and came over to the house within a couple of hours! He was extremely professional and courteous and had the job done quickly and efficiently. I can't believe that this young man took time out of his busy day, to help a very distraught woman! The icing on the cake? He charged me less than $50! Do you need a job done RIGHT?! 805 HANDYMAN is definitely who you should call!! read more

We're very pleased and satisfied with the service and quality of work done by Patrick and his crew!

I cannot recommend Patrick and his team enough!!!! Patrick is the most patient, reliable, talented and helpful contractor (aka Handyman) you will ever meet. I had just purchased a home in Santa Barbara that needed immediate work to prepare it as a rental, including a remodel of a small kitchen. I called Patrick and literally the day escrow closed Patrick met me, we went over what I needed and 6 weeks later it was complete! He always answers his texts or calls you back asap and consistently shows up to complete the work when he says he will. In addition, his work is incredible. He is super talented, knowledgeable and amazing at problem solving. He is honest and unbelievably fair with his pricing. It was an absolute pleasure working with him. I feel so lucky to have found him and cannot thank him enough for the superb job he did. You will not find anyone more capable or honest, not to mention friendlier than Patrick. He and his team are a pure gem. read more

Very happy to have found someone locally. Patrick was quick to respond to my messages & answer all of my questions. He went out of his way to purchase a new door( which I thought I needed) once he looked at it, he reassured me that he could repair it with no issues. Saving me money. Honesty and good work are hard to find now a days. Glad to have come across his name, I will be calling him for other repairs. I would highly recommend him! read more

We just moved into a new house in Fillmore and needed a backdoor put in. After getting a couple outragous estimates by other local and non-local contractors, I found Patrick online. His reponse was very prompt and proffesional. He came out to give me a quote the very next day. During the job he was very polite and respectful. I couldnt be more happy with his rate and the work he did to our new house. I work in Sales so I know a fast talker when I hear one. Patrick is a honest and hardworking proffesional and Im sure glad I found him. He will be our hanyman from now on. Thank you Patrick. read more

Excellent work. I couldn't be happier with the renovations in my bathroom and other repairs they have done for me. Their attention to detail and the integrity they put into their work is most appreciated. Looking forward to working with them on repairs and upgrades throughout my condo.

Patrick and his partner did a great job. Our rain gutter on the side of our house was sagging so I called him up to get a quote. I remembered that the fireplace and kitchen cabinets need work done too. To my surprise, they were able to do all 3 things at a very reasonable price. They came on time and finished the job as quickly as possible. I recommend their service to anyone who needs house repair work done. read more

Patrick has come to my rescue twice for plumbing issues. Fast response, professional and reliable.

Patrick you are so awesome!!! Thank you so much for answering my fb post and doing such an incredible job! Very fast, extremely nice and very professional! read more

Pat and Mario were prompt professional and do top quality work. We would highly recommend this company for any and all contracting work.

I recently decided to paint the inside of my house... by myself. Then quickly realized I had bitten off more than I could chew. So, I painted what I could. But ended up leaving a tall vaulted wall and a loft completely blank. After a few calls to companies that specialize in interior painting and finding the inconsistency of their customer service as well as the absurdity of their pricing, I was starting to think those areas were going to stay the original color forever. Finally, I decided to give a handyman a call. Pat Jr from 805's Handyman was courteous and prompt and reasonably priced. Although it's his own business, it's actually operated by his family. I met his dad during a consultation. Then later his mom on the actual date of the painting. They were all delightful. The job was done quickly and efficiently. And the end result turned out great. I'll absolutely hire them again for other odd jobs around the house, and have already recommended them to other neighbors. read more
