    Things started out fine with Eddie Barrera from On Demand Handyman in Redlands (I realize now that…read morewas the "passive" phase of his passive-aggressive behavior). I had a few weeks worth of work for him, upgrading all the fixtures in my recently-purchased home. As the days went by, I quickly realized he leaves projects 90% finished then moves on to the next thing, does not clean up after himself, and became frustrated when I wanted things done my way instead of his. Each day, Eddie became more and more scattered. It got to the point where every morning, I'd have to police the house, bring him things he'd left sitting around the day before, and ask, "Is this trash? Is that trash?" Eddie's immaturity really shined through when I brought in outside workers to do my flooring. After that, his professionalism and motivation started to drastically decline. For example, I caught him drinking a beer one afternoon and peeing behind my shed the next day. Speaking of the shed, Amazon reviewers said it takes two adults 3-4 hours to put it together. It took two professionals (Eddie & his assistant) a day & a half. 90% of the time during those two days when I went outside, Eddie was just sitting there doing nothing. In the end, Eddie ultimately refused to come back to my house to finish the projects. The very last day, he texted me the day before to say he was not going to come back for an additional week (I'd already waited a week). I put my foot down, and Eddie agreed that the next day his assistant David would come at 8:00 am & he'd be there at 10:00 am to finish everything. Eddie no call/no show-ed. When I attempted to hold Eddie accountable for the unfinished work, he said I was making "ridiculous demands" and trying to control him. When I asked for a refund for the unfinished work, Eddie made up a list of things that had inconvenienced him while working at my house and told me I actually owed HIM money. For example, he said I owed him money because I was present in my own home while he was working. RED FLAGS: - Eddie has a license number listed on his work truck next to his logo. The California State Licensing Board does NOT license handymen, only general contractors, which Eddie is DEFINITELY not. I'm no lawyer, but it seems as though Eddie's trying to make it seem like he's a licensed contractor by displaying a license number that he does not have (He told me he's not a licensed contractor). This first caught my attention when I noticed his last name isn't even on his business card, nor any social media, website, or even his true first name (Eduardo). Then I remembered licensed professionals are supposed to always display their licenses on their marketing materials. I don't know what's going on with that, but it's a huge red flag. - After installing two bathroom vanities (one of which, he charged me $300 extra for re-piping), he told me he didn't know anything about plumbing, and that I should watch for leaks under the sinks because this was his first time doing any plumbing. - Eddie told me to my face that he doesn't like white women. I'm a white woman. His assistant would also regularly do a racist impression of an Indian accent. I was horrified as I had just asked my friend Parvinder if she wanted to come see my new house - Both Eddie and his assistant left the toilet seat up everyday for weeks--it was a daily hassle. Sometimes they couldn't even be bothered to flush. - One day I'd hear Eddie say, "Remind me to bring my texture sprayer tomorrow so I can patch this ceiling" (where he had left holes). Then three weeks later when it still wasn't finished, he changed the story to, "That project is finished 'as is.'" - The front door of my home was left unsecured (gap in the door, deadbolt not functional) because On Demand did not know how to properly install a deadbolt. When I asked Eddie to fix it, he blame-shifted, telling me it was my fault because I had bought the wrong hardware, which was not true. -Eddie stopped keeping track of accounting, projects, and payments after the first few days. He relied on me to do it, then after a passive-aggressive explosion, was upset at prices I had had to guess at because he had quoted me a range (never giving me a specific number). - At one point, Eddie recommended I hire his "buddy" Bryant to do some of the work. Bryant was late three times in a row before I fired him. He had no tools (not even a measuring tape or an extension cord). The day I fired Bryant, I had asked if he needed anything from Home Depot because I was running over there. He said nothing. Once I left my house, Bryant texted me to say he was too hung over from the night before and was on his way home. -- Eddie recommend I skip the primer when painting over my wood paneling and just sand it instead, so I did. Now my daughter's walls scuff if you just brush against them. SIGH!!!! Keywords: Redlands Handyman, Eddie Barrera, Eduardo Barrera, Eddy Barrera, On Demand Handyman, On Demand Handy Man

    Responded quickly with an estimate which was exactly what I asked for. I made it clear I understood…read morethat it was priced on an unseen project and the price may change based on what he sees when he arrives. We texted back and forth about all my concerns and Eddie was great! Very patient and knowledgeable about hanging heavy curtain rod and drapes on a long rod (140"). I'm no expert on interior design but the length I picked looked wrong and he agreed so he gave me the option for me to get the right length and he would come back. Bless his heart for being honest and helping me instead of completing the job and saying nothing. I will be calling him back for more work as soon as I can!

    If you dont' read this whole review, bottom line is we hired JV to fix a problem condo w tons of…read morewater damage and they nailed it, affordably, fast, correctly. This is a company you can trust who does excellent work at a fair price. JV is reliable, efficient, honest and experienced. So heres the full review: After interviewing four other highly rated local contractors, JV stood out on competitive price, accuracy in anticipating job needs, flexibility in scheduling, and responsiveness. So we hired JV Handyworks for a remote repair on a condo that had a fair amount of water damage, deferred maintenance and two live in occupants. The project seemed simple, remodel floor, paint, add a some fixtures. But that, as it always does, changed. After 30 years working with other contractors, I have seen how things can get gummed up. So when it came time to do the work, I expected some entanglement, some issue. But there wasn't. Everything went smoothly, even when we ran into scope changes from mold, water damage, needing extra materials, etc. If there were any snags, JV would anticipate and correct them. If you hire JV Handyworks, l'm sure you'll be happily surprised at the high level of professionalism, excellent quality of work, real attention to important construction details, timely communication, and most of all that rare quality in the trades, thoughtfulness. We will definitely be hiring them again.

    JV's Handyworks did an outstanding job at one of my rental properties. We discovered a collapsing…read morebathroom floor caused by a water leak, and the entire area had to be removed, reinforced, and rebuilt. They handled everything efficiently, professionally, and with great attention to cleanliness--which is a big deal when you're dealing with major repairs. Their pricing is also very competitive compared to other contractors, and the quality of their work speaks for itself. I'm extremely satisfied with the results and will definitely use JV's Handyworks again. Highly recommend!
