Oscar installed a ceiling fan/light fixture for us and replaced the wall switch. He was fast, professional and punctual.

Oscar has been my go-to handyman for 2 years. He's worked for me a half dozen times and is a joy to work with. Fast worker, on-time, and knowledgeable. He's willing to do small or larger tasks. He's hung photos, mounted TVs, painted, repaired furniture, repaired fridges and sinks, etc. He's always on-time and has a mask (during COVID). His hourly rate is also very reasonable given how quickly he works (~75/hour) and he's willing to buy any supplies you need for the job ahead of time (ex. paint, GFCI outlets, wiring - whatever). He is super polite and professional. I've always felt comfortable inviting him into my home to work (even when I'm alone). It makes it a joy to work with him. I trust that he'll always do a great job and is speedy. Love that he also texts which makes setting up appointment times easy. I've recommended him to three neighbors already since his work is reliably high quality. read more

Oscar does amazing work. He's courteous, efficient, and he charges a very reasonable price for San Francisco. I highly recommend him. Top notch. read more

I have worked with at least 5 different handy people in my life, and Oscar stands miles above the rest. And the rest were good! Oscar is freakishly fast, accurate, helps me come up with solutions that I never thought of, and is fairly priced for the area. He is so quick, I feel like he provides double the value. He is also just lovely to be around and talk to. I have worked with Oscar for many years and won't work with anyone else. I'm spoiled by him! Effortless communicating with him, as well. He understands what I'm looking for immediately. read more

Oscar installed a new garbage disposal at our place in the Mission. It was a complicated project involving moving pipes, installing the hardware and electrical, etc. He was very responsive, connected us to a plumber to do necessary prep work, and most importantly did excellent work at a reasonable price. Very professional and proficient. Highly recommended for handyman needs. read more

Used Oscar again to fix a broken garbage disposal and he was great. Was good to catch up with him since I hadn't needed to use him in quite some time and he was masked up and even took his shoes off though I didn't ask him to (though I don't wear shoes inside). Quick and efficient work and is still my go to handyman! read more

Oscar was super punctual, kind, timely and effective! We had a couple of issues around the house (including a doorbell that had started smoking when rung) and he knocked them all out in no time. Really enjoyed meeting him and would absolutely ask for his help on future projects! He mentioned he's been doing this sort of work since at least 2006 in the area, and his years of experience showed. read more

Ok so this Oscar person is the most unprofessional, rude handyman ever. I contacted him about replacing a laundry sink and he assured me that he could do it. After weeks and weeks of delay, he finally stopped responding to my messages?!!! Who conducts business like this? He is RUDE and INCONSIDERATE! I am NOT begging for the work to be done, I was PAYING for it. All Oscar had to say is a simple Yes or No and stick to his work. According to my experience with him, I DO NOT recommend him, because no paying customer deserves to be treated as a BEGGAR! read more

We've used Oscar for years as a handyman for various jobs around the house. He also did the bathroom in my condo that I rent out for a very reasonable price and excellent quality. I especially appreciated when he was honest about what he could do himself and when he had to bring in a specialist to handle something and how much that would cost. Too many contractors try to hide their levels of "expertise" and by then it's too late to do anything. But Oscar is always very honest and direct about all aspects of the job. Of course now that everyone knows how good he is, he's become very popular and scheduling him can now be a challenge. read more

Amazing guy, great work. Always in a good mood and gets the job done.

I have been looking for Oscar for over 20 years and I finally found him here. He started with a job that I paid two other 'handy-people' to fix. They each spent a couple of hours working on a door to my yard that kept swelling to the point that I couldn't open it. I contacted Oscar and he came by the next day and immediately figured out what the problem was, fixed it, and thanked *me* for contacting him. Now he's working on a 2-page list of jobs (some small and some not-so) and is almost done. Oscar is a professional; he works quickly and thoroughly and he can do most everything 'house.' He referred me to others for two jobs out of his area. He's also a family man; how sweet. Oscar is the whole package, and I look forward to working with him for years to come. PS: Oscar is much cuter than his picture. read more

I have hired Oscar multiple times over the past year, to fix all kinds of things around the house. He is so capable and very very efficient. I've hired other handymen who lolly-gagged around and in the end didn't do such great work. Oscar is head and shoulders above the rest! The first time I hired Oscar, I gave him a long punch list. Having gotten used to lollygagger handymen in the past, I expected him to take all day. When I checked in on him about an hour later, I was amazed to find he'd already gotten through half my punch list. I couldn't believe it! And the quality of the work was superb. Since then, I've hired him every few months for various projects, and I'm always so impressed with his work. He does carpentry, plumbing, electrical, painting -- you name it! He is also very honest, clean, and conscientious. Because of his track record, he has gotten very very busy and that is the only downside. I have referred him to several friends who are equally happy with his work. I may be shooting myself in the foot referring him, because he gets busier and busier by the day it seems, but he deserves all the work that's coming to him. read more

Let me start by saying it is not easy to find a good handyman in this city. I requested quotes from over a dozen handymen, Oscar not only had the best price, but was also very thorough from the beginning. He asked for more information, photos, etc a gave me a specific quote for how long it would take and also responded quickly! He was booked out 3 weeks, but this was a small job as I was not in a rush. (It speaks to his high quality work that his only bad reviews are people he didn't do work for). The night before our appointment, he texted to confirm. Oscar arrived today to do the job (he was running 10 minutes late but gave me plenty of advanced notice). He was polite, knowledgeable, and a great handyman. We needed a wall, 2 doors, and the door frames patched and repainted as our Dog had scratched it all up during training. He did the work very well in 2 quick hours, was quiet and kind, and it looks as good as new! Plus, my dog does not like strangers and is usually very afraid, but he loved Oscar! That's a glowing recommendation on its own. read more

Oscar was incredibly kind and professional. We had him mount a couple TVs on the walls in our place. He works efficiently. We would definitely recommend his services. read more

Oscar is the real deal. We had a time-sensitive project that he was able to finish in less the time than we thought (on a Saturday, no less). He's professional, punctual, good at communicating, works quickly, and charges a fair price. Highly recommended. read more

I found Oscar via Yelp. He was amazing! he installed my bay windows + curtains, a picture ledge, a frame and mirror in less than an hour. i just moved here from nyc and was looking for a reliable handyman--i will definitely call oscar next time! cannot recommend him enough. he was timely, thoughtful and professional. his rate is $55 / hr but definitely don't forget to tip :). read more

Oscar goes the extra mile, every time! He is very professional, has good ideas for changes to make my home more efficient and comfortable, and is a gentleman. My little boy loves him; bonus! He is very popular and therefore VERY busy, so it's good to email him as soon as you have a batch of things you want done. His rates are reasonable, and he's quick. Diane read more

Found Oscar through yelp. Couldn't be happier. Easily communicated via email and right on time. I sent him my original issue which was a light replacement that confused me significantly. He emailed me back with how to do it instead of just coming out which I thought was very considerate. I still didn't feel comfortable doing it so we arranged a time to come out and we replaced the light, swapped out a microwave and hung a piece of furniture in a couple of hours. Definitely will work with him again on any future home needs. Highly recommend. read more

Oscar came on time and installed my TV for me. He had to go to the store to get the hardware he needed, but did not charge me for it. He is a nice guy and I would have him back to my house to do projects I don't trust myself to do. read more

Oscar is a great handyman. After calling at least 10 others who never returned a call or weren't available for weeks, I found Oscar on Yelp. He was extremely easy to schedule with, responsive via email, phone and text. He came out to do the job quickly, charged a reasonable rate, and did a great job. Since then, he's been our regular handyman and done things like install smoke detectors, rehang doors, adjust stuck doors, change light fixtures, re-silicone bathtubs - pretty much everything we've needed. He's always on time, pleasant, and just really easy to work with - which is hard to find in the home improvement space. So although I fear that the more fabulous reviews he gets, the busier he'll get - I just can't help but share about how great he is! read more

Oscar just left my condo. He fixed and installed several things that my late great husband used to do. We have an appointment for next week for him to fix a door frame. He'll be my go-to fix it man. He's great, kind, and I'm happy to support such a good and hard working family man!! read more

I needed someone to paint my one bedroom apartment and Oscar responded quickly, came by my place that week for the estimate and gave me an amazing rate. The new paint was finished in a day and looks beautiful! He even was able to cut holes in the wall behind my mounted flatscreen TV to hide the cables which were a huge eyesore. Very nice and friendly guy. Would definitely be calling him again for any needed home repairs or touch ups read more

Oscar came this morning to handle a few small jobs on my new house. I'm definitely compiling another list for him because he did such a wonderful and fast job. He was super respectful from the very beginning, and his price was very fair. I'm so relieved to know I've found such a great handyman! read more

Oscar has been doing work on my condo for a couple years now and always does an amazing job. He always explains exactly what he's doing and let's me know how I can save money intelligently. He's done a really wide range of jobs on my building -- leak repair, door installation, painting, power washing, minor plumbing -- in one case fixing a leak after a roofer tried and failed three times. Oscar truly goes above and beyond in all his work and is just an all-around nice guy. read more

Hired Oscar for a job to install a new vent fan in my downstairs bathroom. It seems he just dropped the job after initially providing a quote. There was no follow up, despite my wife and I continually reaching out to him via phone and email. I thought he would be reliable based upon the other Yelp reviews and he was definitely not. I am searching for another handyman now to complete this job. I was not impressed with Oscar at all. read more

Oscar was prompt and very knowledgeable which helped us in picking the right light fixtures He did an excellent job installing a new switch and 2 fixtures. He's fast worker and cleans up after. We'd hire him again. read more

Oscar came and helped us with a wide variety of work from the simple (installing towel bars) to the more complex (replacing fixtures, sink faucets). I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is prompt, technologically current (emails, texts, tracks all his hours electronically, etc) is conscientious (took his shoes off when he came into our apartment, patient with our curious young daughter), and most importantly he is extremely capable. I will continue to use him and expect to tackle bigger and bigger projects with him. If you need a reliable handyman for the big and small jobs, Oscar is a great choice! read more

Oscar really helped us out! We had a few small things that needed repair: clogged sink, loose faucet, bent window screen frame, and a clothes dryer on strike. I called or emailed about 5 other handy-people I found on Yelp. They all said they wouldn't go the work. I think cuz it was too small potatoes for them. Oscar got back to me within a day of leaving him a voice mail and scheduled over email. We needed a weekend appt and he scheduled us for the next Saturday, showed on time and got the work done within the hour, just like he said. We'll definitely call Oscar again! read more

Oscar helped me out with several small projects around my house. Oscar arrived on time and was really polite and friendly. He was totally patient and listened when I explained what I needed to have repaired. He had all of the necessary hardware with him, and completed the jobs within a totally reasonable amount of time. How awesome to FINALLY have those little jobs done!!!! Yes, you might have to call him a few times, but he's totally worth it. Thanks, Oscar! read more

Oscar rocks! He can do anything - electrical, dealing with CAT5 wiring, adjusting windows, painting, you name it. He is really good - and also good at telling you when it's more than he can do and you need a tradesman (painter, roofer, etc). He's super professional, always on time, highly efficient, and very independent - just give him the list and it will be done. I highly recommend him! read more

WOW! Oscar is amazing. I had him and a different handyman work on my place recently and he was more efficient and did a better job on similar tasks. I had a few tasks to do at my place, which I got a quote would take a few hours. Oscar had everything done in half the time. Some of the tasks I thought would be more time consuming, but he finished them in about the same amount of time it took me to unhook old roman blinds and unwrap a new set. He is very responsive and accommodating. Since he is this good, he gets booked up. I can't wait to work with him again. read more

I was referred to Oscar by my good friend who used his services for various upgrading jobs to his new home. First off- he was late for our initial consultation meeting at my house. I overlooked that due to my friends referral. He then claimed that he would get my painting job done In 4 days since I was planning on moving some furniture in. Well- come the third day- I just went to visit to see how he was progressing and he hadn't even started! I immediately called his cell and he gave me a song and dance about his wife being sick. I accepted his excuse even though I scolded him for not even calling me to update the status of the job. I was the one who called him and that's truly unacceptable. He then promised to get the job done the following weekend but of course that never happened either. I called him once again to cancel the whole deal and asked for my piece of wood which he took in order to match the paint with. Can you believe this guy actually told me to come get it from his house in San Francisco??? I live in palo alto. What a terrible businessman! I called my friend and told him the whole story and he offered to call him and get my wood piece back---- well- it's been 4 months now and my kitchen is still missing a top drawer. Ummmm- so NO. I would definitely not recommend this con artist. read more

Oscar has completed many jobs for me. I've had him hang pictures, paint/patch/repair walls, refinish furniture, build things - he can do it all! He's completely trustworthy, and his handiwork is excellent. I've recommended him to several friends and they all think highly of his work. He's really good around kids - my boys love when he's around. read more

I hired Oscar to build some shelves in my storage room. What he built ended up looking more like nice furniture than generic storage shelving. I was really impressed with the quality of his work, and his price was very reasonable. I will definitely use him again. read more

Oscar is so great! He was fast, thoughtful and just a really nice person. One of the pieces of furniture that I had (diaper changing table) had a crack in it and he immediately came and told me before he started to build it. I appreciated his honesty and the heads up. He also told me to take a picture of it and and put in a complaint to amazon.com (which is where I purchased the piece from). He is really great. Definitely will call him again! PS - He is VERY polite. Took off his shoes before he entered my apartment. Asked me before he touched anything or went into any room. These are little things but they can go a long way! He's just a really solid person! read more

We had rain water leaked thru from one side of the walls on our house, I had called several handyman for the job and couple of them never returned my call, or they didn't want to do the job. Finally, I found Oscar on Yelp, he was great, he was on time, very friendly, very neat. He did some caulking and repainted around the leaking area, hopefully that takes care of the problem. Oscar did a good job, definitely I will use him again. Thanks Oscar! read more

I hired Oscar to do a few random things in my kitchen. He was friendly, on time, and his rates are very reasonable. He is highly recommended. He is now my go-to guy for all my handyman needs. read more

Reliable service is difficult to find but Oscar handled everything in my house like a true professional. He not only fixed my door jam, windows, and changed some bulbs in my condo, he explained the reasons why it broke in the first place and how to prevent it from happening and other useful tips. We communicated via e-mail before his arrival and he was very responsive and helpful. Now that I've found a good hairdresser, a good place to service my car, and a reliable handyman, my life feels so complete! read more

Oscar is the best. Highly skilled, smart, funny, responsible, hard-working, honest. You could not find anyone better to do your project. Oscar has a wide and deep skill set. He can accomplish a major carpentry project such as deck or small addition or swap out your water heater. He's the best. read more

Oscar has done so many kinds of work for me--plumbing, electrical, painting, construction. He's extremely skilled, fast, conscientious, and reasonably priced. He's also a kind, warm person I always enjoy seeing. read more
