Handy Randy is the reason I started to improve my home three years ago. Since then, it has been one project after the other. if you're like me, you don't like having strangers coming into your home and doing work. They can be rough in your home, and generally not respectful of your property. Not Bob and Greg. They are extremely respectful to your property and you quickly feel like they respect your own property more than you. A rare find! This most recent project is to finally complete my backyard Japanese garden. This was a 5 step project that started in August 2021, when they redid my zen garden. You can refer to my previous review for my review on just that portion. This past December they put down the meandering trail that leads around the zen garden. As with all my projects with them, I always try to get their feedback on the project and run my ideas by them, and get their input. As usual, I end up liking their ideas better than mine when we have a difference. This last week, we completed the garden with the additional rock, the irrigation for the plants, and the lighting, Just look at the photos. They speak for themselves. I have received so much positive feedback on this artistic project. This is a true piece of art! Thank you very much Greg and Bob! read more

Randy did a great job for us installing a new window. He did everything on time and excellent. I definitely recommend him. read more

Greg and Bob are seriously the BEST in the business. They'll be realistic about what they can do and what they'd recommend. I would always take their first recommendation on anything because they really know what they're doing. We had them work on a few things actually which was wonderful because we didn't have to contact multiple contractors for the various projects we wanted in the house. We had a pretty complex wall that we wanted to replicate from one of the model homes in our neighborhood and they replicated it so perfectly. They also did an electrical outlet, put chandeliers in, and painted. We also will have them replacing a toilet and installing bidets soon. Reach out to them!!! They're so reasonable when it comes to cost and will give a realistic quote. read more

Handy Randy - Did our wall design and hung the chandelier! - Handyman Near Me

A First rate company! Outstanding quality work with guaranteed results. They stand behind their work! Greg and his team are very personable and truly care about their customers. Well worth the wait for this popular repair service...... they can fix and build anything! read more

Popular in Rancho Mission Viejo- Greg was able to change out my awful compact fluorescent recessed lights (required as part of a kitchen renovation 10+ years ago) and install flat, ultra thin down lights in only a few hours- he also helped me install a smart front door lock- he was overly nice to both my small dog and my elderly Mom while there as well (he is a great dog whisperer too!) read more

Handy Randy is reliable and responsive no matter how big or small out need is. Absolutely recommend them to anyone. read more

Not sure why this company is 5 stars. Called 3-4 times, left two different VM, and never received a call back. After calling again, someone answered and apologized and said they would call back the next day but yet never received a follow up. How can you run a business and not answer the phone or return a call. Was hoping to give them a try. On to the next read more

We had Handy Randy take care of a few things in our new home when we lived in and they were amazing. From simple stuff like hanging a bunch of flat screen TVs to designing/installing pull out drawers for our kitchen cabinets everything was done exactly hue we wanted. Greg was also amazing at coming up with some solutions we never thought of in regards to some lighting concerns and we can't wait to have the new lights installed. read more

We love Handy Randy! We've used their services 3 times for random (big and small) things around the house and highly recommend them ! They are thorough, considerate, and provide exceptional service! They book up fast, so definitely need to call and make appointments in advance :) read more

Handy Randy was fantastic at helping to get our house in order once we closed on our new build. They built beautiful pull drawers for our kitchen cabinets, hung all our tvs, piped water to our side yard since builders decided not to!), and hung our shelves. All was done in short amount of time and expert craftsmanship! We are looking forward to having them add dimmers and some new lighting in our kitchen soon! read more

Handy Randy goes above and beyond in customer service, quality of work, and fairness of price. It's tough to find contractors these days that are trustworthy, skilled and as knowledgeable as Greg and Bob. I asked for a wall removal to open up our kitchen to the family room. I initially thought it would look awkward since our home is split level, but Greg pulled my vision together and installed a cable wire gate, creating a beautiful open wall concept. They even fulfilled my "honey-do" list with some troubleshooting and repairs on our jammed door hinges, broken LED lights/switches, and filling the drywall cracks... and they helped clean! They are truly the whole package. Thank you Greg and Bob for your immaculate work, we will definitely call you again for future projects. read more

Bob does everything great. Outstanding worker and goes the extra mile with a warm friendly positive attitude. You can't get a better person to do your home jobs! Highly recommend Handy Randy!! read more

Handy Randy seems to be able to do it ALL! He can fix, upgrade, and make any home-related project better. Don't waste your time in trying to do it yourself when HR can do it right the first time. Sit back, relax and enjoy the day. You can trust you're in good hands. Highly Recommended. read more

I had Greg come by to help with various projects in my home such as a towel bar / wall repair and kitchen faucet replacement. He was kind/friendly and explained everything he was doing. He also helped advise on the parts I purchased and everything was done not only quickly but properly. He is now the person I call for all my house projects. read more

All I can say is wow!! And really I would love to keep this comp as a secret but that's selfish because they are really awesome!! And to top it off they are nice/kind. Always a pleasure to have them in my home fixing/updating my home. Let's just say they can handle your kitchen faucet to designing a full room. No job is too small or too big for them. So happy my neighbor referred them to me. The value is unbelievable in these days where you can't leave your house without spending $$$$!! They are very reasonable and definetly will be calling them for all my home updating needs! read more

Called to inquire about a project for some work. After leaving a VM & being unable to reach anyone, received a call 3 days later from a lady. Initially she apologized, & said she would call back to give more information on a date for someone to come out. After not receiving a call back, until 5 days later, said that someone wouldn't be able to come out for 3 weeks. 3 weeks pass by, never heard from anyone, and not only that but never showed up! After that being the last straw, will definitely not being using this company & would recommend if you want someone to be reliable, do not rely on them! Extremely disappointed! read more

I have hired Greg twice to come out to my house and do different odd jobs. He always runs on time and is extremely nice and professional with everything he does. He explains everything he plans to do to make me feel included and gives me options if there are any. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. read more

Giving this rating based on experience. Nearly impossible to reach someone. When someone actually answered (after 3 attempts), I was told I would be getting a call back. When Handy Randy finally came out, was told I would be getting a quote by end of the week which didn't end up getting until a week later. Some businesses are busy, but if you promise something fulfill your promise! Who would want to work with someone who doesn't call back! read more

Greg and Bob were very friendly and professional! They fixed everything that I needed done, big and small! Tammy, their secretary is very professional and organized. She is the one that makes their schedule! They book up fast so don't be surprised if you have to wait for an appointment. Trust me, they are worth the wait. I have more appointments scheduled for bigger items I need done. read more

Handy Randy has been to our house for everything from flushing a water heater to doing our whole entry way wall in shiplap. He's always on time, finishes the job when he says and reasonably priced. They're the absolute best and I trust them completely. You won't be sorry if you hire them for any job. read more

Greg and Bob were great! Best guys to get any work done, trustworthy and down to earth.

Second time hiring this local family business and they are just as fantastic as the first. They do get super busy but they're well worth the wait and here's why I would never go anywhere else: 1. Courteous 2. Timely 3. Expedient 4. Honest 5. Knowledgeable 6. Meticulous 7. Tidy 8. Thorough They really do care to go the extra mile and ensure you're happy with the service they've provided. I recommend you plan ahead, make a long honey-do list, and then sit back and relax. It's extremely satisfying watching them cross off items from your list done in the most professional way possible. read more

Wow. Just wow. A neighbor recommended this company for commercial grade string light installation in our backyard, because we were looking for an added outdoor electrical outlet to support the lights. Too tricky for us to do on our own. I am so glad we booked HR! The process was easy, and I got an estimate right over the phone. The team was more than happy to pick up any last-minute materials needed for the job and tack it onto the final bill. No stress. They were quick, clean, and great to work with. Loving our lights! We will be called HR for everything from now on! read more

I've used Handy Randy for some last minute electrical needs for our built-in closet. They were very professional and quick to get the job done and at a fair price. I would highly suggest Handy Randy for any of your handyman needs! read more

My go-to guys for just about any home repair or renovation projects. Excellent service and great quality of work. Honest. Reliable. Reasonably priced. Best of all, they guarantee their work. I trust them 100%! Have also referred others to them and they all agreed that Handy Randy is the BEST! read more

I called this place to ask about repairing my fence. The lady that picked up the phone was not nice at all. After I told her what I need fixed, she told me that they can fix it BUT their first available appointment to just go take a look and give an estimate is not until August, a solid one and half months out. I realize that my repairs job is very small, and perhaps the business wants to make more money on larger jobs, but I have to say this kind of customer service is not very good. read more

So we had Bob from Handy Randy out today for a ceiling fan install and some other smaller items. We had high expectations based on Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed. Bob delivered big time with every task. Ceiling fan, earthquake straps, some faucet tightening, etc. From the time the doorbell rang and we greeted Bob it was a great experience. He was prompt, courteous, did all the work in the time prescribed, and cleaned up before he left Highly recommended and we will be using them again Thanks read more

This team has always done such a good job and they're highly referred by my whole neighborhood. They are professional and do grade A work! I highly recommend them!!! read more

Bigtime shout out to Bob Larson of Handy Randy. Thank you for your time and expertise this morning. Keeping us oldies safe, one shower grab bar (or in this case 4) at a time. I always freak out a bit when someone is drilling holes in our tile. Flawless job. Thank you. read more

They are the best. They did the cleanest work (leaving no debris) and they did the best detailed work. Can't wait to post photos of our finished fireplace. read more

A++++! Highly recommend Greg and team for their expertise and professionalism. If you are looking for a trusted and reliable contractor that is knowledgeable and skilled, this is the team you need to contact. They are capable of a variety of work including plumbing, electrical and various construction work. Responsive, insightful and reliable, Greg and team were able to help solution for some difficult issues with our project. Its hard nowadays to find someone who is good at both electrical and plumbing, but they knew exactly what to do, and am very pleased with our project outcome. Overall, I highly recommend Handy Randy for their skills and experience! Polite, efficient and trustworthy. read more

I have had an amazing experience with Handy Randy twice now and looking forward to our upcoming projects next week. On the first occasion Greg came in to install Saferacks in the garage. He has a lot of experience with this and got them up on his own in no time. He advised me on the correct height of these units in order to maximize storage space and allow for adequate headroom. I couldn't be happier with the results. Greg came back to save me in an emergency when my tankless water heater burst. I was lucky to get an appointment with him after a cancellation. Due to a mistake in the original builder's install, this was not the easiest job. Greg put me at ease and took care of this problem in no time; and likely saved me at least $400 had I hired the plumber that was recommended by the water heater manufacturer. Now I have him coming back for several projects, the biggest being an 8-light outdoor LED setup on dimmers, with the capability of adjusting light color. Greg really has a proclivity for tech and the latest smart solutions, so I am excited to have him on this job. This is one of his passions and, in conversation, you may find him making all sorts of suggestions to automate things in the home, make your life easier, move toward more green (and cost-saving) solutions, and other options to better your home (sound/video enhancement, soothing morning wake-up options to replace your traditional alarm clock, automating lighting/appliances/thermostat, and other tech you never new existed). We've talked on numerous occasions about his ideas, and most of his suggestions were simple items that I was able to install myself and have made my home experience so much better. Thank you again Handy Randy! read more

All of the very positive things I heard about Greg from my neighbors were an understatement. He is a great guy- knowledgeable, honest, professional, reasonably priced, and entertaining to talk to. Wore a mask the entire time and was I felt very safe while he was inside the house. It was definitely worth waiting for him- there is a very good reason he is so busy!! read more

Friendly neighborhood handyman. Fixed a previous installer's mistake AND provided clear explanation of the issues he fixed. Can do most handyman jobs, yet knows his limits and appropriately refers jobs requiring more specialized licensing. Highly recommended. read more

Very reasonable and reliable. No job too small. Known Randy for over 40 years. A local family owned business.

Always professional honest work. Use them time and time again. They are booked out far in advance for a reason.

These guys are gems! Greg and Bill of the Handy Randy team are excellent and I recommend them highly. Unlike many other handymen and contractors, they showed up when they said they would, communicated with us throughout the job, and were completely professional. They worked quickly, and cleaned up thoroughly after the job was complete. They were very honest and I felt their pricing was more than fair. We had them come in and finish up some work for us after the contractor who remodeled our bathrooms bailed out without finishing the last few details. They tore out our old 70's-style fluorescent light soffit in our guest bath, and replaced with new LED recessed lighting. The lights and drywall patching look great! We were also missing the kickplate at the bottom of the vanity in our master bath as the contractor never installed it. Bill matched the stain color perfectly and installed a new one. You would never know it is not the original! (See photos) I will definitely be having them back to do some additional work in the last bathroom once the items we ordered are ready to be installed. read more

What a great group to work with! Bob came over right on time and put our new 75" Samsung TV up in our living room. It is beautiful and perfectly positioned and secured, very professional.
