Installed mailboxes  done
Jackie D.

Raul did an excellent job to install our mailboxes/ post. We really appreciate that he accepted the job right away even for a short notice. We're glad we found him, efficient & friendly thanks a lot for a job well done Raul!

LETS JUST USE DUCTAPE SO SECURE IT!
Jon M.

MICKEY MOUSE WORK AND CHARGES TOO MUCH! TLDR: poor quality work, charges too much, doesn't care about the safety of your home or family. I feel scammed. Raul came by, acted like he was listening to my request and instilled confidence that he could get it done. He quoted me higher than I had previously been quoted from other handymen, but I went with him because I thought he listened and would get the job done to my satisfaction. All I asked was for the job to be done correctly. The job was for a stovetop vent straight up to a roof vent, simple enough, right? I provided the ducting, vent, ducting tape, roofing nails. Well, we found out there was a gas line where he made the hole in the roof. I asked if it's safe, and maybe we need to relocate the hole, he assured me it's safe (it's not, a real licensed contractor advised the dangers of flames while cooking + gas line). I was so busy that day with work that I didn't have time to really think about this as he told me not to worry. Another issue is he installed the vent ducting from the stove with a gap between the exterior vent and roofing plywood/shingles. So overtime with moist (hot) air, not only now would that risk setting my house on fire, but also rotting the plywood under the shingles. He connected the ducting with tape I provided but it looks like a 5 year old did it. Now on to the vent on the roof - he installed it directly on top of the shingles and used roofing tar all over everything to cake it in place. Which left my home with small children smelling roofing tar for days. To add, he left roofing nails exposed to rust and would eventually lead to water damage (a real contractor told me told me 100% it'll leak over time). Plus there were gaps on both sides of the roof vent (see pics). It would never last a storm without leaking... I complained to Raul, asked for a partial refund which is fair for the crap work he did, (1/3 ) but he wouldn't honor that. He told me he would come back and do it right, but never followed up with me. On top of all that he took a 2 hour lunch and charged me for what he needed for a home depot run. Worst "handyman" experience ever. Don't trust this guy to change the batteries on your remote.

Keyless pad lock installed
Mia C.

Super thankful I found Raul it's frustrating dealing with wishy washy contractors / handyman. He actually answered his phone when I called the first time booked an appointment for a estimate on a few minor repairs right away on a Fullerton rental. His prices are reasonable which helps a great deal during this crazy economy. He repaired an awful looking door frame. Removed shower doors and installed a keyless pad. I'm planning on calling him again to repair a wooden patio fence install smoke detectors and more!! * Outstanding responsiveness returns calls and text messages * Polite / Respectful * Reasonable Rates *Good quality work *Gives advice on how to tackle a work project successfully People if you want a great reliable and kind handyman give him a try ! Hopefully my review is helpful to you. God bless and Good luck !!

Damage wall with very old wallpaper, repaired wall
DIANA M.

Ibarra handyman service provided a free detailed estimate, worked with my budget , he did such a great job I'm going to definitely use him again. I had three separate jobs and all of them came out beyond my expectations! I had a damaged wall , carpet in a kitchenette guest house, and broken bricks /cemented entrance.

New door! I provided the door, hinges, and door knobs but Raul had all the skills and tools necessary for installation

Raul did an excellent job on cabinet shelving. It was a small job and he did a very thorough and complete job.

Drywall Repair Finisher

(134 reviews)

Update (September 2026): I reached out to Luis again for another drywall repair, this time after…read moresome drywall was damaged by a water heater leak. As always, Luis did a great job. He opened up the affected area and carefully checked for any remaining moisture before removing the damaged drywall. He then replaced the drywall and repaired the area, leaving everything looking clean and properly finished. I really appreciate his attention to detail and the quality of his work. I would definitely recommend Luis for drywall repairs and will continue to use him for future projects. His prices are always reasonable. Thanks again Luis for another job well done!

I had a positive experience with Luis back in 2020 where he fixed a bad skim job by another…read morecontractor for me with a bunch of patches, and I thought Luis' skills were pretty superior. Over the years I have been doing DIY fixing of more bad spots around the house but I also work so I was never going to get around to all of it. I decided to call Luis back recently because I didn't want to do it myself anymore and I want to repaint fresh non-patchy walls. I hired Luis to reskim two bedrooms and two accent walls and some other miscellaneous spots that I added after he started working at my house. Luis was at my house for 3 half-days (1.5 in total) before telling me he was finished with the walls. I was (still) happy as a clam at that point and paid him in full for what was completed, fully trusting that the work was done skillfully based on my prior experience. (He was coming back one more time to finish the misc. stuff that I added on and I would pay for that part then.) Anyway, imagine my horror when I checked on his "finished" work and saw imperfections everywhere and tons of sanding dust still left behind on the walls, switches, and even mud on the door knobs. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves from here with brief descriptions of what's being shown. -Pictures 1-3: Some of the imperfections from the first time Luis said he was "finished." -Picture 4: His first fix-it visit(half day). He was supposed to find all the imperfections and patch them (the yellow highlighter spots), except he was patching bubbles with more bubbles. I had to patch all the spots again with my own compound and added a ton of other ones that he missed. Took me two full nights. -Pictures 5&6: His second fix-it and final visit (another half day). He was supposed to sand over all the patches and walls to leave them with a smooth & uniform finish that's ready for primer & paint. This was how I found them after he left. I sent him these pictures and told him to not come back as I had given him 2 chances to fix and he failed both times. There was no response from him. -Picture 7: I made only a partial payment of the balance on Luis' last visit because part of the remaining work was him making the corners of a ceiling overhang crisp, the corners are crisp but somehow the overhang is now squiggly when that wasn't the problem before. -Picture 8: I had taped up all my trims before Luis came as I didn't want any mud/compound to get on them, but I thought my crown molding were safe. They were not. He had busted them pretty badly with his electric sander in 7 spots and dinged them in at least 10 other spots but those were minor and I was able to superglue them back together. I did take on the repair of the major dings myself because I wanted to tape all of it up before he came back for more sanding. Luis and I had good rapport and I actually liked talking to him, but once the job took a turn for the worse, he never acknowledged that he didn't do a good enough job. He instead said things like, 1. "You're not supposed to look at the walls with a light from the side like that" and "I've never seen anyone look at a wall like you." --Yes, technically he's right, walls usually have paint on them which would have made these imperfections painfully obvious even when looking at them straight on, but until there is paint, this is how drywallers check for imperfections and fix them before they get permanently sealed with paint. (I had two painters (who also skim coat) come over for quotes and this was how they both checked to see how much prep work they would have to do before painting). 2. "I could fix these walls 10 times and something will still come up."--it really shouldn't if he did it right the first time, he's supposed to be a professional, not a DIYer like me. 3. "You've got to be kidding me. I'm at a point where I want to just refund your money and get out of this insanity"--after he came and saw all the patches I added to the walls (that he missed). I know what he was trying to imply and still gave him my electric sander to use so he could finish the job. With all that said, guess who is still stuck sanding the walls now after paying Luis to do the job and saying I didn't want to DIY this anymore. And with all these patches that I had to add to cover up his mudding imperfections/bubbles, it's looking like I'm going to end up with patchy walls again, which is exactly where I was when I handed Luis this project. What a joke. And the crown molding that I fixed up? That still needs to be repainted as well. I wasn't going to leave this review, but after several weeks and my walls still needing to be finished, I thought I would share my experience.
