I contacted HOCOA based on the feedback on Yelp. I needed some plumbing help. In the past, I've done most of my own plumbing work whenever I needed to run new lines or repair leaks, etc. Not just because I'm cheap (I am), but because I've got the tools and the know-how. But as I've gotten older, my tolerance for working on my back in dark areas where my weakening eyesight gets in the way has diminished considerably. All I needed was a garbage disposal installation. My thought as I called was, "This ain't gonna be very high on a plumber's daily worklist. I'll be lucky to have anyone even return my call." I got a call back within the hour and they got the information. The plumber called me shortly and we set up an appointment for the next day. The work was fast (why shouldn't it be?) and excellent, and the price was right (less than half what the big guys would charge). I am very happy with the outcome, and with the whole experience. Even though my need was a small one, I feel I got the attention any customer deserves. I will not hesitate to contact HOCOA first when I need work done in the future. read more

We were given a free year membership to HOCOA as part of purchasing another service. We bought a house and needed to do many major and minor projects. Carpets, balcony, landscaping, room additions, solar etc. I asked HOCOA for connections for many of these. They were quick to respond and we had productive and informative discussions. So far we used a carpet vendor they recommended. We have many projects upcoming. We'll pay for the service next year. read more

We used this service when we remodeled our home 2 years ago. Aside from the initial referral, which took a long time, we heard very little from them and have had very little involvement with them. This is contrary to what they advertise. We recently found out that the contractor they referred used subs that didn't follow code. We reached out to HOCOA and they have ignored our emails and text messages for over 2 weeks. I'd recommend advocating for yourself instead of a company like this. read more

This company is supposed to send out screened professionals. My plumber was obviously over his head. See photos. After he made this mess he scheduled to come back and fix mistake but did not show up. Still waiting for him to complete repair. This was simply updating new shower fixtures. If they refer do your own homework. Supposedly this is now going to cost 475 to repair. Out of MY pocket. Be very weary. Plumber did not have license on CA website read more

Where should I start? Let's just say for many years now my family had been members of Sam for 5 years. Why? We literally don't have to lift a finger looking for quality workers to do anything around our home. Sam uses only the finest in contractors because his name is on the line if he sends just anyone off the streets. It's in your best interest to go through Sam because you get a discount on the job 80% off the time. He also has an amazing carpet & tile cleaning crew. $2.00 a SF to clean and seal my ceramic tile and grout! Yay! They took their time and really payed attention to detail! At the very end Garrett have us 11% off the entire thing as an HOCOA DISCOUNT! SO PLEASED with the tile cleaning! Thank you so much Sam! read more

They expect you to sign up for a $69/yr annual membership to use their service after their complimentary 1-yr membership - I guess that would be OK if they'd call you back to schedule someone to come out and bid for the job you called about in the first place! They're probably OK for small jobs but anything beyond screwing in a light bulb I'd look elsewhere! read more

HOCOA is a great time saver! I'm in real estate and have done many home remodel projects and what a relief it is not to have to hunt down reviews online, call neighbors, and make appointments to interview all these contractors myself. One call to HOCOA and I get licensed, insured contractors that meet their quality standards, AND HOCOA follows up with me each and every time to make sure I am satisfied with each contractors performance. In the past few months I've used their services for plumber, handyman and electrician, and all were reasonably priced and professional. read more

I have in times past, worked for HOCOA as a handyman. If you notice all of the reviews on this site, by and large, they are five stars. There is a good reason for that, it is because this organization delivers. For those wondering who they should hire to perform a certain job, stop wondering. Pick up the phone, and call HOCOA. My time working there is done, not because I left the organization because they were this or that or I had some complaint I couldn't get resolved, I simply had to move away and help family. But I'll say one thing, I wish HOCOA was out here! I thought them to be professional, caring, and friendly. Sam is great to work with, (notice I said 'with' and not 'for,' a testament to the kind of person he is). I appreciated my time with the organization and have even called their contractors for my own jobs when the task was beyond my ability to handle it. All in all, I cannot say enough about this organization and Sam G. I wish I could still be working with them as it was a pleasure to do so. As a homeowner, I'll tell you straight up; if you need anything done please give them a call and you won't regret it. Nate Hoover read more

When you meet the owner of this company, Sam Goodwin, you will be eager to try the service. He is smart, personable, funny, professional, and courteous. He knows you are busy and don't have the time or energy to vet reliable, quality, professional services for your home. My 72-year-old client needed to replace her carpeting and I knew Sam and his team would take good care of her. read more

I have been a member of HOCOA for the past three years. I am surprised how often I have used their service. I have been totally happy with every contractor they hooked me up with. I have called them for plumbing, handymen, garage door repair, hot water heater repair and more. Each time i have gotten courteous and timely service at a fair rate. I also used them for a referral for new flooring. I got a killer floor at killer prices. Sam, the owner is an awesome guy. He has been so helpful. It's totally like having a really knowledgable friend in the business. read more

Convenient and reliable service. I know that the companies they recommend are quality and offer great customer service.

Sam at HOCOA is the best. He lined up some contractors for me to see. He called after each meeting to see if the contractors arrived and were satisfactory. He stays on top of the project to a happy conclusion. read more

I am so glad I met Sam and found out about his company, on the very day I was planning on picking out new kitchen appliances at Sears. He had me send him the model numbers of what I settled on and then he sent me his company's quotes. He had Sears (with their discounts, specials & incentives) beat by over $1,000!!! I can't say enough about the integrity of everyone who answered the phone at his company and all of the people who he sent out to deliver and install everything. I would recommend HOCOA to anyone who needed anything new or repaired in their home. read more

This was truly an unfortunate situation with Hipps Drywall as he did not return to the job site to complete the job, even on the last day he said he would with his crew of guys. He kept leaving my job to take on other jobs and that is my main complaint. He was supposed to start the project and finish it before taking on another one. One of my TV anchors disappeared in the process as well (the one he removed from the master bedroom wall). One more ding against him. But I appreciate you acknowledging that he was at fault and ended up costing me a substantial amount of money due to his negligence. read more

I appreciate Sam getting back to me regarding a back yard project in a timely and friendly manner. Sam and his network of associates really take time to make sure the customer is being treated fairly. I appreciate the communication and accurate quote for our job. They are a resource to me for any of my clients that need home repair. Thank you Sam and HOCOA for being a valuable part of my networking team. read more

Fast, Efficient and Professional describe my experience with Sam Goodwin! I had a serious leak issue in my upstairs bathroom. Sam had one of his contractors, Mark, contact me right away & come diagnose the issue using a camera to find the exact location of the leak inside my wall. The problem was not as bad as I had feared and I was thrilled with the outcome. Mark and Sam are A #1 guys that you can trust to give you the truth and do what they say they will do! Great service, Highly recommended! Dan Roy read more

They were super helpful and very knowledgeable, not only on things related to our property but also the area. Customer service far exceeded my expectations and it was very nice dealing with Sam. He goes above and beyond and is very easy to get along with. I was in North Carolina and he was very prompt on keeping me up to date and including pictures so I could feel like I was there. read more

I am a North County Real Estate Broker that operate 100% on referrals. With that in mind I am always looking for ways to improve service for my clients.

My garage door broke and my water heater broke within a short time of each other . At first I panicked , then I called Hocoa! They were kind, helpful, and sent someone over right away! They didn't just send anyone ..... They sent over very qualified, respectful, trustworthy people that I felt safe letting into my home to do the repairs, then after it was all done, Hocoa called to follow up to find out how my experience was and if they could do anything else to help . I highly recommend them!! read more

We bought our first home and had plumbing emergency that affected 2 neighbors. I called HOCOA-CA.com's number, and an emergency plumber called within 2 minutes, not 5 or 10. Wow. If I didn't know of HOCOA, this would have been a lot harder looking on the Internet or asking around for help. They even had a water restoration company call me immediately as well. Talk about convenient!! read more

The contractor they matched us with was very reasonably priced, professional, kind, and did a beautiful job. Prompt service!

I work with Sam Goodwin and HOCOA on many levels, but most importantly, I subscribe to their home repair network, and it is a must for ALL homeowners. Looking for a contractor and don't know where to turn? Call Sam, he'll send qualified professionals that are guaranteed to be licensed and insured. Further, if you need a new washer/dryer like I did, you'll be very pleased with the wholesale prices Sam can offer. I highly recommend HOCOA and their services. read more

A great team that delivers excellent service that exceeds expectations every time. Highly recommend to anyone looking to have support overseeing their properties! read more

I called and spoke to woman that stated it was a paid referral service but she would give me a free year of the service. She stated that the handymen were screened and that one would call me and she would follow up to see how it went. Well she never followed up and I never received a call from one. I am HUGE on first impressions and I would use them again. read more

They deserve all the stars! Literally don't know how we survived without them. We have used them for a bunch of services and EVERY SINGLE TIME people show up early or on time, they communicate extremely well, they finish early or on time, they clean up, and are super kind! We moved and that is why we started with HOCOA, to help with some repairs around the new place. Just found out our rental needs immediate work done and knowing that we can call HOCOA has allowed us to calmly handle the process and not freak out because we know all the work will be done well and timely. read more

HOCOA is an Amaazing Service! I have used them for a kitchen pipe bursting, a new roof, bee and tree removal. The quality of the work was beyond my expectations and the price of service was very competitive! read more

Sam and his business is a lifesaver for me. He is very prompt to follow up with me and always has someone on hand to help me, regardless of the time of day or day of the week. I have been using HOCOA for my north county properties for a little under a year now, and I really wish there was a service like this in south county! Thanks for everything! read more

HOCOA is a service that every homeowner needs! I've worked with Sam on multiple occasions & the service that his company delivers is superb! The attention that goes into every service call eliminates the need for you to worry. Sam & the team at HOCOA got it under control. I've hired his plumber, painter, electrician, locksmith, & handyman. All the tradesmen where professional, timely, competitively priced & completed the work with much satisfaction. Thanks to HOCOA! Highly recommend your services! read more

Super helpful! Didn't use his service, but he took the time to find me the person who could. He called me back quickly and saved me a lot of time and trouble. I can tell that this business really cares about its customers. Thank you! read more

HOCOA is an excellent resource for a busy woman, like myself, with little to no home repair skills, nor the time to find qualified contractors. Call Sam, sign up for a membership, and allow him to handle your needs. read more

After calling several plumbers and drain services early this week, (and having one simply fail to show up!), I finally broke down and signed up for HOCOA a few days ago. WOW! What a difference! I had a slow drain, and a faucet that needed to be installed. The drain guys called immediately, showed up early, were fast, friendly, efficient and fair. The plumber HOCOA sent to me was on time, clean, and all of the above to boot. All I had to do was call Sam and tell him what I needed. Done. What people don't usually measure is their own time, so if you have to call three or four services to get something done, you spend hours of your own time, and you still risk getting the one that flubs up the job. HOCOA takes all of that out of your hands, and puts vetted people on your doorstep with just one call. I actually hold two California contractor's licenses, and certainly I know how to get these things done. But, what I also know is the importance of my own time and stress level. The value of having things just 'handled' with one phone call is so much more than the minimal monthly or annual membership it's just a complete no-brainer. One very happy customer here. read more

Even though we got off to a bit of a rocky start (the very first contractor assigned to me was a no-show and only contacted me 15 minutes after he was to arrive) - the subsequent referrals of Invictus Veritas construction and Viking Electric were excellent - they both provided good service and worked with me to get the jobs done on time. It is really nice to know I have a place to turn when I need to find a contractor I haven't worked with before - without spending a lot of frustrating time and energy trying to "interview" a bunch of potential companies. That's the value of HOCOA! read more

So helpful and convenient! Especially when you're in a pinch for the right person! They only connect you with the best Servicers! Life savers! Thank you! read more

I have been a member of HOCOA for about a year now and I first used them a few months ago for some handyman work. They were able to put me in touch with Al who came out quickly and was able to completely the job promptly. I called them again for trees that I wanted cut down, (because of the recent fires) they were able to get two people to call me back same day and met with me. We ended up going with the first guy because he could start that week. Both gave competitive bids. I have been so impressed with them that we are going to call them for our kitchen remodel. They are able to get us wholesale pricing on the materials alone! read more

I have used HOCOA with several projects in my house for almost 4 years, and I have been consistently happy with them. Sam has been very responsive, and I was happy with all the contractors that he had sent me. All were professional, timely and reasonably priced. Recently, I had several projects such as electrical, plumbing, gas, painting, glass...and HOCOA did an excellent job in sending me the right contractors. read more

I've had three projects since I moved to a new home; landscaping, painting and cleaning. Sam Goodwin at HOCOA referred the most professional and competent people to me. I'm delighted with HOCOA's commitment to extraordinary service, and I'm confident anyone they send me in the future will be just as awesome. I refer HOCOA to all my friends and neighbors. read more

I would highly recommend Sam and his service. I have used HOCOA on a couple of occasions now. The first was for roofing service and his roofer provided a lower bid and did the job on time and with no issues. The second, and most recent time really set his service apart. I called HOCOA late on Friday afternoon on an electrical issue. Sam had one of his electricians call me which happened yet that evening. He was able to spend about 20 minutes walking me through several steps over the phone and was able to take care of the issue. I apologize as I do not recall his name, but he was great and best of all I was not charged a service call. HOCOA is a service everyone should have at their fingertips as you never know when you might need the service. read more

When I think of people getting hot water heaters delivered on New Year's day I also think of HOCOA who always gets the job done! Going to HOCOA is like having your own personal assistant to help you with all your homeowners needs!. Thanks Sam! read more

Love having one point of contact for contractors that have already been screened! Sam and his team have consistently put us in front of he right people for a various array of jobs. Very impressed! read more
