Great experience with Gary. Came on time and even reduced the price he had quoted that gave us a better option and my wife felt very comfortable with him working in the house. Clean and professional. I'll be using him very soon I'm sure. Two thumbs up. read more

2xs was late in contacting me and scheduling appointments. He kept rescheduling and than Was also very unprofessional and invited me to a private party in his home and never meet me! read more

Fix It All - The review is false he never called me at 2:15. I called him at 2:00 our agreed time and see time stamp, he didn't call until almost 3:00 - Handyman Near Me - Laguna Hills, California

I'll admit i was a little skeptical going into this. i'm a young(ish) and single woman living alone; first time homeowner...i did the yelp project thing where they message a couple of businesses at once and 4 businesses replied. gary was a little more expensive than everyone else because they do a 2-hour minimum at $120.00/hour but after talking to him, i knew they were who i wanted to go with, and based on all the work they did for me, i think the price was more reasonable than the other 3 vendors. the day of my appointment, gary ended up being tied up at another job so his son Josh came alone. Josh was SO polite, knowledgeable, considerate, mindful, efficient...i was really impressed. i had been putting off home improvements for a long time but it was getting to a point where my quality of life was going down. here is all that i asked him to do: - remove my old broken doorbell and install a hardwired ring camera (my mail had been stolen several times so extra security was needed) - reprogram my ceiling fan and light because i somehow got onto the same frequency as my neighbor so my lights were randomly turning on ALL the time - install baseboards to a bathroom remodel the previous contractor left unfinished - install a bidet i sent josh a photo of the baseboards i picked out and he did all the measuring super quickly and went off to home depot. he brought all the tools necessary with him. he really did a beautiful job with everything. it's like a whole new bathroom. i could detail the entire encounter, but here is what really stood out to me: i wasn't really tracking the time, but he was. after he finished what i asked of him, i was like "oh, is that it?" and he said "actually i still have like 30 minutes..i noticed [this] seems uneven, can i look at it?" and then he fixed MORE THINGS around my house! he worked quickly and efficiently. he took his shoes off when working on my carpeted area. he moved my contact lens case in my bathroom so it wouldn't get dusty while he was working. all these little things i wouldn't have even thought of but left such a good impression. i will definitely call them again in the future and recommend that you do too. read more

The quote says $120\hour for two guys. The owner came alone and did some very minor work around the house. When he finished after 2 hours he said it was $240. I asked why I would pay $120/hour for one person and he said it's the same price per hour regardless of one or two guys. That just doesn't make sense and when would I pay $120 hour to do very basic handyman work. Two people would have finished in half the time. Make sure you understand the cost before having the work completed. read more

Everything was great! We got Gary's son Josh. He was to be here at 10am and was here on the dot! Super nice guy and came in I showed him what I needed and in an hour it was done. My too tall bed set was shortened so I can keep it and not have to buy a new one. Fantastic job. I'm one happy customer!! read more

This turned out to be something of a disaster for me. Gary and his sons (who are young guys and apparently lack fundamental skills as handymen) handled three separate projects for me. One of the jobs was my front door to keep it from sticking. Gary cut so much off the bottom of the door that you could see light through it, and insects were able to crawl in. I had to hire another handyman to come and work on it to repair and close the gap. He also did a patch and paint on some damage on my hearth. The hearth wasn't sanded before the paint job (which Gary's son attempted) and looks terrible, and you can still see the patchwork through the thin coat of paint. I'm having a professional painter come and strip it down and redo it. All told, I lost about $400 as a result of having to redo everything. The other odd thing is that I had a hammer sitting out to hang some artwork. Gary's son must have grabbed my hammer when they were packing up. I let him know but they never returned it; I had to buy another. Weird. read more

Gerard helped remove and install my ceiling fan. He did a flush mount installation and had to make adjustments to make this install work. I needed a smaller blade span installed. He ran into a small issue during install. He explained the challenges he was running into and was able to explain or give options to consider. Communication was great. Ultimately, he made it work and got it set up and working perfectly. Happy he was able to come almost immediately the same day despite his schedule being booked thru end of the month. His wife was with him and helped assisted. Both were a pleasure to talk to and work with. Would recommend and hire him again for other projects that need to be done. His quotes are reasonable and fair. read more

There was a leak in my kitchen faucet. I bought a new one, but since it was rusted at the bottom, I decided it's better to ask a professional to come in and replace it. I found Fix-It-All on Yelp and contacted them. Had a conversation with a young man named Josh. Josh was really nice and professional on the phone and in person. He got the job done with great communication and professionalism and I am really happy with the outcome. I definitely recommend Fix-It-All. read more

I needed help hanging curtain rods so I sent a message to Gary. I was able to schedule an appointment very quickly. The owners son & their business partner came to install everything. They installed 6 curtain rods, built a console & nesting tables, as well as helped carry a heavy mirror upstairs. I explained how I desired the curtain rods to look & I was hoping they understood my vision. I was so happy when I saw them because it's exactly how I pictured it in my mind. My tables turned out great & I'm so glad they got my new full length mirror upstairs safely & took it out of the box for me. Very friendly service & will probably call again if I need more help around my home. read more

We scheduled a day/ time for garage paint and other work. I arranged for cars parked in community to make space in garage, bought supplies, they never showed up nor returned my call/ message. Too expensive anyways, charging hourly, charging double the rate that I make in my work, and I am an accountant. I will look for someone else. read more

Friendly and informative, but not quite as professional as I would have liked. No credit cards, which is hard as these project repairs for water damage can cost. The job was done, the finished area looks good, the dust and mess from the way he sands down is terrible. He needs a different tool or method, so I had a lot of cleanup afterward. Dependable quality in the end. read more

I looked all over to find someone to Install a Starlink dish, Gerald and Josh were wonderful, they got it done and was able to even know all the details about the views that Starlink dish is suppose to get -- making sure the dish has got the perfect view of the northern hemisphere. Highly recommended. read more

This is just my experience. We had a need to remove and reinstall 5 solar panels. Gary gave us a good quote and confirmed an appointment for 11AM. Two hours later we've heard nothing from him even after multiple phone calls and texts. At the very least, if he changed his mind, we should have received some notice that he was not going to honor his commitment. Not responsive at all!!!! read more

Great job Gary! Thank you for fixing my sliding door & screen and then my closet door as well. You did not give up. Excellent work!

tried to use this service but he was unresponsive. Talked with Gary and sent pictures of task on Wednesday 7/20. No response. Sent text on Friday asking for a reply. Fix-it-all sent a message that they were interested and would call "tomorrow". Tuesday 7/26 still no response. I'll try someone else. read more

Gary and Joshua did a tremendous job. They helped us with a leaking ceiling that flooded our entire restroom. I am very grateful and appreciate the service that was provided by this company! Thank you again read more

Highly recommend. We needed a door and threshold fixed in a rush. We had someone else give us a quote prior to Gary, who said we needed to replace the whole door and door frame. The initial contractor (nice guy) couldn't do the job for another week, so we contacted Gary. Gary brought back down the cost significantly since was able to just fix the broken part of the door and the jam/threshold, and it looks great. As a side note, I was working from home while my fiancé was at work, and I felt very comfortable alone with Gary at the house. I am conscious about that kind of stuff, but it just felt like a old family friend at the house - he was friendly and communicative about what he was doing, but we were able to stay out of each other's way and both get our work done read more

Had a pipe leak and Gary and sons came to the rescue. Came over the same day (within 4 hours), rolled up their sleeves and went straight to problem solving. No dance around, no fluff and was done in 3 hours, including trips to home depot. Strong work ethic and will call them again for other jobs in the future. read more

I needed a hanging ceiling lamp replaced because I did not have the right equipment to reach the 14 foot high ceiling and I was on a tight timeline. He responded quickly and thought he could come the same day, Friday. Turns out he got tied up on the previous job and could not make it. He made a point of coming on Saturday to get it done on time. Then he basically had to do the job twice because I screwed up a measurement, and did so voluntarily without complaint. Thanks Gary. read more

Had to fix our shingles after a panel upgrade to ensure it's all waterproof, safe, and nice looking for the inspection. Gary and his son came over on short notice and did an absolutely wonderful job!

I highly recommend Gary for anyone in need of a reliable and skilled handyman. Gary's knowledge and attention to detail truly stood out, and he was very reasonably priced. He completed various tasks, and I was very impressed with his repair of my sprinkler controller system. Thanks Gary! read more

First, my wife's review: W - Who was that playing the piano? Me - That was Josh, then Michael joined with the right hand. W - They were really, really good! Before that, Josh and Michael took care of business. I had an outdoor camera, under the second story eaves, that would not connect to the router. They swapped it for a new camera I had purchased. Then, they inspected a second story rain gutter that was not functioning properly. After I reprogrammed the older camera, they mounted it under the second story eaves, to monitor the other end of the pool. Finally, they modified a piece of flashing so that it would no longer obstruct a downspout. Well worth the $120 per hour (two-hour minimum) to keep me off of a tall ladder. read more

I am so disappointed of Gary's work. He wasn't honest with his promise.His work was so slow and NOT neat . So expensive labor comparing with the result of the work I don't recommend his work specifically with painting. NO experience AT ALL . read more

Nice guy, very skilled, very reasonable rates, does it all. we had him come out to fix a window that needed a build up (gap under after counter removed), as well as to put window moulding around it. Clean, efficient, and quick. Actually, since he was so efficient, I had him install a new wall mount stainless range hood, appliance install as well as the plumbing in our new sink. During the process, he had to move a gas line for us. All of this went off without a hitch, and came out beautiful - didn't get the feeling you get with others where they keep trying to bump up costs throughout job. I have now found my go-to handyman. read more

I called Gary about a week ago to see if he could help me with a treadmill assembly. Even though this may not be the type of work he does regularly, he was still kind enough to give me an appt. He came over yesterday and did an amazing job with the assembly. Even though they advertise treadmills to be "easy" to assemble at home, I know that I never would've been able to do it myself. I do agree with others that he's very courteous, kind and does an amazing job. I'd call Gary again for another job for sure. read more

We had such a bad experience charged 2 hours for 1 hour work and didn't fix the problem and declined to come back. Didn't answer calls or return our messages. Will no recommend!!!! read more

Very kind, friendly. We spoke over phone (5:30) and he said he'd visit in an hour if needed (6:30). Indeed he came and with great spirit helped out. Thank you so much for the helpful energy read more

Gary and his son came over to my new house to hang 2 TVs, replace a lock in an outdoor gate and cut a hole in my wall for a dog door install. They did fantastic work, cleaned up after themselves, and were friendly and hardworking. I couldn't recommend them more. He's my new go to handyman here in Orange County. Thanks guys! read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. Hired Gary to do some service for our family home. He specified to the owner that it was "too hot" to work and came in the late evening hours, or sent his son and wife for small amount of time (45 minutes to an hour). When the owner asked where he was as he had questions, the son specified he was "picking up the kids from school". He broke our kitchen screen in two places, took some supplies we paid for, and on the last night of his work (he usually only worked a few hours at night) made some not so positive comments to me about my mother (not acceptable for a worker getting paid to do a job), followed by stating he & his family wanted to go see the concert at the lake and needed a member to get him, then argued with the owner about 47 cents when he owes us a new screen (he did offer to fix it and we declined, as we don't want his services anymore). The work was ok (we need to hire a painter to touch up or re paint his work). As a manager myself, that isn't (in my opinion) professional behavior. I'd look elsewhere for services. Had it not been for hurricane Hillary, this job would not have been completed. You do the job in a timely manner, work hard, collect your pay and leave. Would never use him again for a plethora of reasons.. read more

Josh was very sweet and knowledgeable about what he was fixing. We needed a new light fixture for our veranda so Josh went to Home Depot and send me 6 different photos of options. We also needed our sprinkler capped off. He was so quick and did a beautiful job. Cleaned up all his mess and left everything perfect. We will use him again in my moms home. Great service!! read more

Here's the text I sent after Gary's work was complete: Hi Gary, sorry it took me so long to send this text, but thank you so much for the beautiful work you did! I am highly impressed with your craftsmanship, customer service, flexibility and timing. I plan on sending you as much referral business as I can. Again, thank you for all your help! read more

Gary and Josh did an amazing job hanging my flat screen TV and fishing the wires inside the wall. They also fixed my garbage can drawer in the kitchen which I made worse by trying to fix myself. Than you both!! You are now my goto guys for home improvement. read more

Gary Velasco and his son installed a door and it was done well. HOWEVER he installed an air lock on our dishwasher and charged us $320. It leaked 2 gallons of water daily so we called him, texted him and e-mailed him more than a dozen times over a one month period and got no response. We are going to have to call another handyman to fix his work. When I criticized his work, professionalism and told him I would post his performance on yelp and with our HOA at Laguna Woods he responded immediately not to fix his mess but to show contempt for us that he didn't care and was not going to come and fix his faulty installation. I wouldn't let him fix anything else for us and I will tell anyone who asks what I think of his performance. I suggest that no one who uses him pays him until the job is done and done right. read more

Fantastic responsiveness, very friendly, and did a lovely job installing a new exterior door. Great job dealing with unexpected complications. read more

Gary went the extra miles, literally. He came to my house which is not even in his area. He drove 67 miles to my house. I was so excited when he said he would still come. He was on time, very professional, funny and very personable. I had 12 fluorescent lights in my bathrooms and kitchen which I wanted changed out to 65 watt bulbs. Gary suggested that I go with LED's and I'm so glad I listened to him. Never have to worry about changing bulbs again as I have 12 foot ceilings. Gary was very meticulous and thorough in all aspects of the job. He took his time and made sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend him to anyone and I hope he will come to my house again as needed. I will not call anyone else. I feel the price he charged was more than fair too. Thanks again, Gary. read more

Gary and his sons are dependable, professional and yet also a lot of fun. I hired them to rebuild a fence around a large air/heat unit at the side of my house. Not only did they do an excellent job on this fence but they were able to fix a number of problems I needed help with around my house. Everything I asked them to do was done with a smile and done right. I could not have been happier that I found them and I will be calling them whenever I have a problem because their skills are top notch. I've told all my friends who were also looking for a handyman so they will get a lot of business in the future from me alone. Their hourly rate is fair and reasonable and the work you get in return is excellent. read more

Great service, did exactly what I asked for in the timeframe. I needed a sun shade sail installed and several heavy paintings hung.

I was referred to these handymen through a family member. They kept me posted on the timing of their arrival and showed up on time and were wearing masks as well. They installed two ceiling fans and n outdoor TV. They were very efficient with their time spend as well as very thorough. They even stayed extra to help me with the programming of the TV. They explained everything they were doing to me and I would highly recommend them for any of your projects. Will definitely be using them again read more

Gary and his son came right out and solved a door issue we were having. Great service.

Gary and Josh are amazing! I had a desk that needed to be repainted and it was done efficiently, precisely and at a great price. Gary gave me options of what kind of top coat I wanted and considered my needs both financially and aesthetically. There were a lot of doors and drawers that needed to be removed, slightly repaired and replaced and it turned out beautifully! This is a sentimental desk to me that I wanted to keep, but update, and I couldn't be more pleased. They are the best! Thank you gentlemen. read more
