[This review is for receiving a service a couple years ago from Diablo Valley handyman, I just…read moretotally forgot about writing the review until now. Oops sorry!] I was putting my home up for sale and needed a few small repairs before the home inspection. Well, I totally got my dates mixed up and it turned out that I only had two days to make these fixes (otherwise they'd be marked on the inspection report, which we didn't want! I ended up calling Diablo Valley handyman as they were recommended to me by a neighbor. I called first thing in the morning, and I believe I spoke with the actual owner (James.) I told him my situation and even though it sounded like he had a pretty full schedule, he was able to have somebody up the very next day to not only assess everything, but actually make the repairs! We needed to have a fence repaired , a new staircase hand-railing put up, some minor trim fixes around our windows. And then quite a few window screens needed replacing. (We have cats, lol) The fact that they were able to come out on such short notice, make all the repairs in one day, plus the guys that showed up to do the work were warm and friendly! After all of this, I absolutely expected to pay a high premium, however, the invoice came back for a more than reasonable amount! (It was a bit higher than the original estimate over the phone, but that was our fault because we forgot to tell them about the window screens!) Getting ready to sell a house is maddening and so stressful. Do Diablo Valley handyman was one of the only aspects that put us at ease during this entire process! Unfortunately, we moved quite a bit further away so we fall out of these guys' service zone now, but that's part of the reason why I wanted to make sure I wrote this review.... because I never forgot the awesome service we received!

Met with James and Eric while I was getting bids and they were very helpful in discussing and…read moreunderstanding the scope of work for my project. I liked them the best out of all the contractors/handymen I talked to and felt they were very reasonable for cost and schedule. My project consisted of new stucco, trim, framing, and painting for my garage; and drywall and baseboard work inside. Mark and Alvaro completed the work and did a fantastic job. Mark kept me informed with all the progress each day, and his attention to detail ensured that everything ended up looking great. Overall, I had a really good experience with them and will plan to contact them again for any future projects.

Joe and his team at JR's just completed a full tear-out and remodel of our kitchen, and the results…read morespeak for themselves. The scope of the project was extensive: all new semi custom cabinets, a new island, and new perimeter countertops, along with a complete replacement of our appliances some of which we wanted flush mounted (easier said than done). One of the trickier pieces was retrofitting a range hood, which added a fair amount of complexity to the install, but the team handled it without missing a beat. What really set this project apart was the level of coordination among everyone involved. Every craftsman on the job communicated clearly with one another, and just as importantly, Joe stayed in steady contact with my wife and me throughout the process. That kind of teamwork kept the project moving efficiently from start to finish, with minimal delays and no surprises. Even when we were out of town for part of the renovation, we never felt out of the loop as Joe sent regular updates with photos and progress notes, so we always knew exactly where things stood. The end result is a kitchen that's both beautifully finished and highly functional, and the process to get there was refreshingly smooth. If you're considering a kitchen remodel, don't hesitate to reach out to JR's, you'll be in good hands from demo day to final walkthrough.

I know this review is way overdue. I've been meaning to write this for about a year now…read more Ivan from Kaminsky Handyman Services installed this stair lift for our parents, and honestly, he was a lifesaver. He showed up on time, didn't rush, and actually took the time to figure out exactly what our parents needed to feel safe. The whole installation was done in just a few hours and didn't turn our house upside down. Seeing this lift in use today (like in the photo) has given my parents so much independence back. Ivan was patient, kind, and made what could have been a stressful situation really easy for us. Better late than never--Ivan and the team deserve all the credit. Highly recommend!

This has been a terrible experience starting about 3 months ago. I needed a pocket door installed…read moreand was told they could handle such a job. I will not include any names, as I don't feel that's appropriate. The installation was completed, but the contractor did a truly terrible job on the finish work. After sending many photos of the work and speaking with multiple employees, the company has continued attempting to send the same contractor back each time to fix the work. Once you look at the photos, I think it's clear why I'm not comfortable with that solution. These are not minor errors that simply need to be touched up--they appear to be fundamental finish-carpentry and installation issues. The short list of problems: there are gaps throughout the finished work; the door does not properly align with the jamb; the slow-close hardware was thrown away rather than installed; the paint color does not match; the wall texture is completely mismatched; and the finished work does not match the other doors or finish carpentry in our home. They also left their garbage bags at our home despite the invoice stating that cleanup and disposal were included. I have given the company multiple opportunities to correct this situation without posting a negative review. I have also been clear that, given the quality of the original work, I am not comfortable having the same contractor perform the corrective finish work. I have asked that the repair instead be handled by someone with appropriate finish-carpentry experience. At this point, I am at a loss with how this has been handled, which is why I am posting this review. I will leave this review up for as long as this situation remains unresolved. If you are reading this and this statement is still here, you can assume the company has not yet resolved the issues described above. If they resolve the situation appropriately, I will update this review to reflect that.
