First off, we made the mistake in hiring someone from Craigslist, really hit and miss type situations. We ended up contacting Paul, who after leaving him an email message got back to me within a day and left me a voice mail to call him back. I called him after relieving the current handyman of his duties and Paul came right over to asses the project. He told us he could do the job no problem (garage overhead storage) and we set a date/time. He arrived early and brought a second person to assist with the job. We told him exactly where we wanted the storage to go, after about an hour he had us come out and explained that where we wanted to put the racks would not work. He even tried several times to make it work which really showed his intent on getting the job done and being able to satisfy our original plan. Overall he finished the job in a timely manner, was attentive to our needs and provided a very reasonable fee. We will definitely recommend and use Paul's services again for our upcoming jobs. Also, we asked him if he did electrical and after explaining what we were looking for he said he could recommend someone better qualified. We received a call from his reference that same day! Excellent work Paul! Chris and family read more

See all

Looks like Paul has retired and someone else is taking his place. Reviews are not great. Will look elsewhere.

Called them to help with a few things around the house. Paul does not work anymore (according to the guy he'll give your number to instead). The guy that showed up was not able to fix the problem and admitted he wasn't licensed and couldn't do the work ( he blamed it on insurance, this was likely to compensate for lack of know how). I actually ended up fixing the problem myself. I was not very confident in this guys knowledge or expertise and would not recommend. Just speaking to him on the phone was frustrating, common sense was lacking. Not someone you'd want doing contractor work. They also are a cash only business. So not only do they waste your time sending someone that knows nothing, you'll have to go look for an atm if you do have repairs done. He also blamed this on insurance deducting money from his account, which makes no sense.. Just admit you don't want to pay taxes on the money and that this is an under the table operation. read more

I had 3 small things to do. Paul responded quickly, but said he was tied up with personal matter and would refer me to his associate, James. I made appt. with James, but he didn't show up. When I called him he had some excuse. After telling him a bit more about my jobs, he started hemming and hawing around, then told me about a $65.00 min. I got the feeling he didn't want to do my job. I cancelled. IMPORTANT: I think these handymen are looking for bigger, longer jobs. I think they (generally) may procrastinate and not follow through if you have only small jobs that may only take one hour. Be on the alert for this type of thing! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Paul. He is very professional, yet down to earth. About a year ago, he did some painting, crown molding and replaced a kitchen faucet. He did an excellent job with all 3 projects. He even came back on a Sunday evening after completing the project just to make a tiny adjustment to the kitchen sink faucet. I have also referred him to my parents for some jobs around their house, and they loved his work as well. Just yesterday, about a year after he installed the kitchen sink faucet, I decided to make an adjustment on the faucet myself and ended up screwing things up. I called Paul at 6:30pm Saturday evening, and he insisted on coming out the next day to fix it. He remembered who I was and said it was his pleasure to come out on a Sunday to help me out. Well, he came and solved the problem within minutes and refused to take any compensation! I insisted many times, but he appreciated me referring him out to friends and family, and that was enough for him. He is a true gentleman. Here are the reasons you should hire Paul for your next project: 1. He is ALWAYS on time 2. He is professional, trustworthy, respectful, courteous and meticulous 3. He is very knowledgeable in many different areas. 4. He brings coworkers with him who are also experienced and professional 5. He goes out of his way to make sure that you are comfortable with his work and that everything works correctly 6. He finishes his projects before the estimated time of completion 7. His prices are extremely reasonable With all of Paul's 5 star reviews, you can't go wrong. Thanks, Paul! Dr. Rajan read more

Paul left all the debris after fixing our fence and gate. We had to borrow a truck and haul the debris to the dump ourselves. is this something we had to think to negotiate in our contract? I don't think so. I've never hired anyone before who didn't automatically clean up after themselves. We asked him to install a key lock into the gate he fixed. He couldn't (figure out how?), so put on a combination lock instead, WITHOUT consulting us first. It was a tacky solution. (A key lock wasn't impossible. I have the same gate in my home, and my handyman installed a key lock.) Maybe there was miscommunication; he wears a hearing aid. I just felt a lack of respect and care for us, an arrogance, if you will. we were dissatisfied and can not recommend him to others. read more

I was looking for a handyman to install a new attic access and attic access ladder. Paul and Brian came out for a free estimate and were able to install it later that week. They were knowledgeable and didn't flinch at needing to be in the attic in June. They gave me a quote on how much it cost and didn't charge me extra for the fact that it took them longer than estimated, (due to problems with the kit I had purchased, not mistakes). They were precise and I needed to do no patching on any of the cuts in the ceiling they made as there were no mistakes or overshooting. They also came prepared with drop cloths to hang to keep the dust out of my other rooms. They have lots of other talents, so I will definitely be using them again when my Honey just doesn't have the time for the larger things on his Honey-do list! read more

After reading all the good reviews(???), I decided to call him and left VM. Till date no response. May be he doesn't need new customers anymore. I have no clue what to say about these yelp reviews. read more

Based on his Yelp reviews, I called Paul and made an appointment for him to meet me at my parents house in Hayward to give me a proposal on fixing some dry rot. He never showed up, and I waited almost an hour. He did not answer his phone when I called, and never returned my call. So much for good reviews on Yelp. read more

Paul is a delight. He hung some new doors for me this past week, and helped me to assemble a futon. He is professional, friendly, patient, and focused. He did great work for a very affordable price. I actually paid him more because I felt that he deserved it! Oh, and the most impressive part for me was his impeccable punctuality. Most handymen I have come across are flaky and run late or cancel, even disappear! You can count on Paul to stick to his word. Thanks, Mr. Paul! read more

James did my overhead ceiling storage rack installation and I loved the service. Paul is the owner and James sometimes fill in. They were both very knowledgeable and professional over the phone and in person. I worked directly with James, whose work is thorough and clean- he double checks everything, and did not leave a mess. He took time and came over to give me an accurate quote, which was lower than what others quoted me. He had it done the next day in 3 hours. There were many other handymen on Yelp but I decided to go with these guys because they are straight up, honestly priced, and very knowledgeable people. Many others didn't even offer to come take a look. And some just looked around my garage, then give me a price based on what I got in there and not even look at my ceiling. If I would make an analogy, I'd say normal handymen are from Home Depot, but James and Paul are from OSH. I normally don't write reviews, but it'd be a shame to not give these guys the proper praise they deserve. When you find a good handyman you can trust, it's like gold. So if you like old school, no BS, honest and all around good people that take their time to do the job right, call these guys. read more

Paul did a fantastic job. I wanted shower doors installed on my fiberglass shower tubs. He wanted to make sure there would be no problems with the installation and explained some of the problems that could occur. He showed up on time and did a great job. I would use him again in a heart beat. read more

If you want a dependable, hard-working, honest, and dedicated handyman for everything from plumbing to light fixtures to doors and windows, Paul is THE MAN!! For the past 4+ years, each time something has come up in my condo, Paul either takes care of it or gets me in touch with some one who can. His prices are very fair, he's the nicest man you'll ever meet, and I couldn't recommend anyone more highly!! Jeff Sherman read more

Hmmm...Someone removed my negative review when Paul lost my information and did not show up on the agreed upon date. No matter. We've kissed and made up. Called again and Paul did come out this time. Very nice gentleman. He managed to get the grout out I could not budge, connected the dishwasher drain which required some reconfiguring of the disposer and spent over 30 minutes wrestling a toilet seat off that I could not budge. He also assessed the caved in patio structure and arranged with a carpenter to rebuild it. Fantastic job. 100% improvement. My only criticism of Paul is that he undervalues his work and charges too little. When I need more work done I'll call Paul. read more

Wonderful experience. Paul installed an interior door and hung our blinds. Very comfortable with him and will return to him for all of our future needs. I will recommend him to my friends and family members. read more

You want a good handyman??......call Paul. Excellent service and he takes pride in his work. Needed a dryer vent installed and it was done in no time. Very reasonable price and he showed up on time. They don't make then like that anymore. He will definitely be my good too person when I need something done around my house. Thank you Paul..............you're the best! read more

Hired Paul to do some repairs at my home. He replaced my screen door, replaced my tiolet flush valve, recaulked around my bathroom sink. He did a great job, he was meticulous and takes each task with great care and pride. I will definitely call on him again for future repairs. Thanks so much Paul! :) read more

What a great experience. Paul and Brian did an excellent job replacing the door from my laundry room to the garage that was clawed by my dog. Everything went smoothly. Paul came in to do an estimate (sunday), we scheduled a work date based on my schedule (i didnt have to take any time off work), I purchased the door, they picked up the door i purchased from Home Depot, and in no time the door was installed saturday morning. Paul is very flexible with your schedule and his rates are very very reasonable. I would not hesitate to hire these friendly and professional handymen again. read more

I had Paul replace a shower door in my rental home. He did an excellent job. Although he had a little trouble putting in the handle of the shower he managed to figure it out. I also had him reattach some loose hardwood floors pieces without paying extra labor cost. His labor rate was reasonable. Will be calling him again for future home repair needs. read more

I do not post on Yelp but I have had construction going on at my house since August 2014 and I need to share a positive construction / Handyman experience Not many workers have done an average job at my house during this time When you refinance your house for your hard earned money you tend to expect the same in return. When you have people who care about the work they do and that have passion for their work it is worth having them back. That is how I feel about Paul and Brian They have passion and care about the work they do and it shows. They take their time and make sure that you are also on the same page before they complete the job. I will have them back for more tasks in the near future. I am very happy with the work they have done and the price is very fair. Enjoy and happy house projects with Paul and Brian! read more

Paul and his associaite Brian came out and removed two doors and a greenhouse window, finishing the inside and ouside of the spaces. They did excellent work, charged an extremely reasonable rate and did it sooner than I expected. They also were very willing to go out and get the materials they needed, bringing me receipts. They are just nice guys and a pleasure to work with. (Yes, they left debris, but Paul referred me to someone who would haul it for cheaper than his hourly rate, and anyway, it is even cheaper to pay Waste Management to take it as extra trash.)

I called Paul to come out and take a look at some dry rot on the balcony of our townhouse. He called me back and made an appointment to swing by. When he discovered that he was unable to do the work himself, he only charged us for half an hour and recommended a good contractor who came out and took care of everything. Now the balcony looks great and is made of better materials than when it started. I don't expect to ever have dry rot problems again. Definitely a good choice for handyman. I plan on calling him when we need our stairwells painted, too. He's no-nonsense, but knows what he's talking about, especially in regards to pest/rot repairs. read more

Paul is absolutely the best! He's smart, efficient, professional, friendly, and very fair in his costs. My husband survived cancer last year, but our home suffered some neglect. We had many small items that needed attention. We both work full time and needed help. Paul came over immediately after calling him. We had a long list, which he helped us prioritize. We gave Paul a key and he works us into his schedule, which is perfect for us and him. Paul has already replaced our side garage door (which meant finding a vintage door), rebuilt the big garage door, installed 3 window air conditioners, and removed old paneling. He will soon do some drywall repair, lay new linoleum in the bathroom, install a ceiling fan, caulk sinks and tubs, tile repair, cabinet repair, and other minor repairs. I highly recommend Paul for all your handy man needs. He is absolutely great!! read more

Paul was amazing! He visited my dad once before doing the repairs. He was able to follow all of my requests and did the repairs quickly. He followed up with a phone call and was so genuine, and concerned for my dad. He is also a very honest handyman! He has great values, and I appreciated that! read more

We just purchased a new home and we were looking for some basic home repairs (hanging tv's, installing shelves, repairing a shower door etc.). We found Paul on Yelp and I cannot say enough great things about him! His work is prestine and he has a great personality! Not only does he take great pride in his work, he is thorough and affordably priced! Paul installed shelving to create a shoe rack for us and it was better than we could have ever imagined! read more

Paul is the best! He came to fix two holes in our walls and our toilet flusher and he did a great job! He has VERY reasonable prices and I even added an extra project of fixing a busted cabinet door and he still charged me the same price as what he quoted me for just the wall patches. We'll be calling him in the future for sure and recommending him!! read more

Since my first review I recommended Paul to my sister-in-law, and she was pleased with his work also. Then I started making a list and had him out last month to take care of things. He was super accommodating with scheduling, came when he said he would, and took care of everything quickly and efficiently. Glad to see so many positive reviews. He deserves them! read more

Paul was very quick. He came to fix a sliding glass door and change three lights. He was very efficient and quick. I would hire him again and recommend him. read more

Paul is absolutely great. So is his wife, who answers the phone and makes the appointments. Paul is very courteous and shows up when he says he will, or he is early. He does great work...in other words, the work he does lasts. As a single woman, I truly rely upon Paul as my "rent a husband for odd jobs" and have given him repeat business. read more

Have a plumbing problem... found Handyman on Yelp. Called Paul he came down in 15 minutes and was amazing. While he could not solve my problem, he went to the hardware store and tried several different things to fix it...recommended a Plummer come out. I wanted to pay him for his services/parts and he would not accept it. If he could not fix he there was no charge.. to my shock! What is this, real customer service in this day and age? Paul moves right to the top of my list to call the next time I have any issues around the house, would use his services and recommend him to anyone. read more

Came to look at our front door that started to scrape the bottom of the frame, making it difficult to lock. Paul listened to the problems, assessed the situation, and figured out a fix. Happy to show him other issues that needed a look at, and will surely bring him back for some more work. read more
