I have had such consistently excellent services from Edward and his team over the last few years. But today takes the cake-- or I should say the PIE! It's Thanksgiving day and Edward, Gustavo and Abel came to my home to get me out of a household jam! (Couldn't get into my garage!) All this on a holiday to boot! They are terrific trouble -shooters and swiftly fixed the problem. You can always count on reliable, efficient, friendly, reasonably-priced and EXPERT services. Deeply grateful for the three of them today! read more

Edward and his team are finishing up a huge floor job for my house. He and his crew worked tirelessly to get the job done on time. The work was done flawlessly, quickly, and just as how we discussed. Edward is a gentleman, highly skilled, honest and very nice to work with. I highly recommend Edward the Fix It Guy! read more

Ed the fix it guy and his wonderful crew did a beautiful job on my eaves from the roof. At first it was difficult getting the job going but once his crew started , they finished on time . I would love to hire them again but I believe they have gotten really busy. They are worth the wait! read more

Save your money go else where Edward is a complete liar He told us he will come back to do the job he never showed y up unprofessional. I Galdino to one of my co worker I guess he did the same thing to his family how sad read more

I have hired Ed and his team several times to help on small jobs but recently we had him do a complete remodel. His team is very professional and does an amazing job. I highly recommend him and his team for any of your contractor needs. For our complete remodel, he got it done on time and under budget and I could not be more pleased. read more

We moved to SB recently and purchased a cottage that needed a wide range of updates and fixes. Our realtor recommended Edward the Fix-It Guy. These guys are AMAZING. They took care of the major infrastructure and craft carpentry work as well as all the small detailed items. In 4 weeks they re-wired the house and put in all new recessed/pendant lighting, re-insulated the attic, replaced a bad water heater, found and fixed several leaky pipes, added new trim to every room, updated built-ins, put in new craftsman doors and hardware (which look AWESOME). They also took care of many little details such as hanging the TV, putting up new towel racks, and much more. It was top quality work with exceptional customer service. The staff was friendly and professional. Edward was incredibly responsive and was helpful in recommendations beyond the work his team did. We will definitely be calling them again in the future. read more

We had a great experience with Edward and his very friendly wife who responds to phone messages. I assist an elderly blind woman. We had security screen doors installed by other painters who painted her home inside and out. Long story short, the security doors were not installed correctly, hard to open, and unsafe in an emergency. Edward came over to evaluate and Gustavo showed up the next day working for over an hour. All doors and repaired and work great! But the most outstanding thing about Edward is that he refused any sort of payment. That is AMAZING in this day and age. He wanted to help an elderly person out as he assumed she was on a fixed income. Bravo to you Edward, your wife, and how you are running your business. Thank you so much!! We wish you great success in your business. read more

I was more than please with the work that Edward did. It was excellent. He installed a screen door for me as an ADA accommodation. When a part on the door I had bought was broken, he went the extra mile to replace the door, coming on a Sunday morning to complete the work. It was obvious that doing a good job is important to him because he is someone who takes pride in his work. In so many ways, he demonstrated real concern for me as a customer---not only as a way of being customer oriented but as an orientation of caring towards people. It was great to find someone who I could trust. I would not hesitate to recommend him! read more

spent time getting a quote, begging for the price, had the date set for the work, lots of emails and then an email cancelling the job, not sure why?? unprofessional! read more

I have a stackable washer and dryer that needed a drain pan installed in a tight closet. These guys came in and master minded the operation! They were in and out and highly professional. Would hire them again for anything in a heartbeat!!!! Thanks guys! read more

Our cleaning lady was running the vacuum when we smelled what definitely was an electrical fire (such a distrinctive smell! She unplugged the vacuum cleaner and we called Edward. He sent someone out the next day - Gustavo. It turns out our townhouse, which was built in 1974, had old style electrical outlets that did not hold the plug in place snuggly enough and allowed the vibration of the vacuuum to run against the wires in the outlet. Luckily, a pervious owner had replaced all of the outlets in our kitchen with GFI plugs (ground fault interreupter outlets, so those are okay, but Gustavo showed us the burned wires that were inside the old outlet and it was clear that we were minutes away from an electrical fire starting in our wall! read more

Where have you guys been all my life? We had a number of minor jobs -- some weeks old and a couple we've lived with for more than a year. Alex fixed EVERYTHING, from faulty door latches to a malfunctioning bathroom heater to a clogged dryer vent and beyond with skill and dispatch. Don't live with bothersome repair problems when expert help is right here in town. Thank you, Alex! read more

Great handyman service in Santa Barbara. Juan was extremely helpful, thorough and communicative. I'd definitely recommend this business!

We had some trouble with our electric water heater because we had a loose breaker switch. Despite my limited knowledge of anything electrical, Edward was so kind and helped troubleshoot the problem over the phone. When we decided that the problem needed an official appointment, Edward got us taken care of quickly. He sent out Gus, who was kind, wore a mask (thank you) and is well informed. He replaced the fried breaker switch easily. Both of these guys went out of their way to help us out and I would recommend them to anyone in need of professional, competent work. read more

Edward the fixit guy is fantastic they are always on time the work quality is top notch. I would highly recommend using them for your home repair work. Don't take my word for it try them and you'll be very happy you did! Regards, Tom I read more

Edward is quite the gentleman. Very professional from the time you first meet him to the last day of working on your house/property. He and his workers are accommodating to your needs the whole time they are there working for you. If you plan on supporting local businesses during COVID this who you should go with in Santa Barbara read more

Here's the thing about Edward. He anticipates his customers' needs. He is quick to get things done, and generous with his time, despite his busy schedule. His crew does meticulous work. Thank you Edward for making our remodel a pleasantly surprising experience first of all. read more

Edward and his crew were fabulous: good quality work, done in a way that accommodated my constraints (both financial and temporal). Edward stands out for his responsiveness and concern for what I wanted. He and his guys put new flooring in my home while my family and I were living in it--a task that requires quite a bit of finesse. Edward was respectful of the fact that my financial constraints meant that I needed as accurate an estimate as possible, even though he was working on a time and materials basis. Edward is someone you can trust. And every member of his crew was someone I felt confident trusting with my home. read more

Sadly, even before hiring Edward, despite his award ranking in the Independent, it is clear he is not the detailed, time sensitive, thoughtful, service provider I was lead to believe he was. Phone calls, if returned, had limited response. When that failed, the same thing with emails. On the day of the appointment, 10 minutes before he was scheduled to arrive he realized he never asked for my address. Then 15 minutes after our appointed time he called to say he left without the address. Worse, after that last straw, when I concluded this would not be a successful working relationship, his response was to insult me. Perhaps if and when he does show up, he and his crew might do a good job, but I will never know. read more

I have used this co many times over the years. There name should be changed to Edwards construction co. There is nothing they can't do. Qualified plumbing,electrical,painting etc. Highly recommend!!! read more

We are very happy with Edward and his team of specialists that were able to repair and improved our home very promptly! They installed a venting fan in our laundry room, which required more than the typical ceiling cutting because of the special layers built into this building. They did a great job. Since we had some paint on hand, they repainted the area as well. The other project was identifying the water-closet leak and repair the damaged surrounding walls. Again, they fixed this problem, dry-walled and painted this area. They cleaned after themselves nicely too, which I also appreciate. Edward and his team was very professional, informative and friendly. I love that I didn't have to call on 3 different companies to fix our issues. I love that I can just call on Edward and he has specialists for each type of work. It's like a one-stop shop and I love this. His rate is competitive and worth every penny for a job well done. We've added him to our building's Maintenance/Repair List so that other owners here can use him as well. read more

Edward was responsive, professional, and friendly in handling a recent troubleshooting request in our home. He identified the problem quickly and efficiently, and determined the best fix. Highly recommended! read more

Edward and his electricians are dependable, adept and honest. He responded to my call immediately and was very accommodating to my urgent need for an electrician to add power for a new range, install new lighting and check on breakers that were tripping. I trust their work and will absolutely have him work on my home in the future. read more

I can't recommend Edward and his people enough. We are looking to do many little projects in the house -- new toilets, new sinks, painting, counters, etc. We had three non-working toilets. I purchased great new ones, but they were a little big for the space. Edward's guys came and not only expertly installed them, they cut the "banjo" tile shelf above each toilet so cleanly! They left our house as clean we they found it! We will be using Edward and his people for our other jobs, for sure! read more

Edward is a problem-solver. He figures out the big picture and covers the details. He saved me money and brought better results than I had anticipated. His crews are meticulous and a pleasure to deal with. Over the years in SB and Montecito, I have worked with numbers of contractors and many in the trades, but none more conscientious and skilled than these folk. read more

"Fix-it" just begins to describe Edward. He is much more when it comes to building and repair -- Edward is a master. He has worked with us on two major renovations. The last renovation involved every facet of construction. He did it all, was easy to work with and did everything he promised to do and more. His work always looks great, is sound and it lasts. Plus, he always tries to save money and is honest in everything he does. His crew is very professional and knowledgable. I write very few reviews. But I had to write this one because Edward was so excellent. read more

Edward and his team are a pleasure to work with. We reached out to Edward for just a few simple fixes, but he also offered some additional ideas that we hadn't considered (but ended up really loving). Everyone on the team is extremely professional and courteous. They're great at working around issues that arise (e.g. replacing a bathroom fan and realizing it's not venting into anything) and are clearly committed to getting the job done right. The work looks great, and I'm extremely impressed by their attention to detail. read more

Edward and his team were so awesome in remodeling my bathroom and fixing some plumbing issues that came up in a different bathroom! Also they were quick on the job getting a 10' ceiling light replaced before it got dark! Thanks!! read more

We were recommended Edward The Fix It Guy from our Electrician. It ended up being the best recommendation. Edward and his crew remodeled our studio and did a fabulous job. From the tare down to the remodel, he and his crew knew just what to do. Edward is a awesome guy who is great for people that are not sure what to do. He had so many ideas to help us along the remodeling adventure. He also build us a fabulous back gate/fence. Thank you Edward! and your crew read more

Doesn't seem too professional to bring yapping dogs with you to the job site. Just sayin.

Ed and his crew were wonderful. They were professional, helpful and smart. I would definitely hire them back anytime. Their rates are reasonable and they always showed up on time. Good craftsmanship and a very knowledgeable crew. read more
