UPDATE 3-22 trustedhandymanpros@trustedhandymanpros.com or trustedhandymanpros.com (916) 954 2197-same number he gave me-Hero Handyman LLC found-CA has no LLC's for any businesses. See CA contractors board, view all handyman laws, I found only he can do your hired work.
UPDATE 3-21-26: John Santos removed info from internet, except BBB https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/sacramento/profile/home-repair/jhs-repairs-1156-90098547....2nd review 3-20-26 updated.....I am rewriting review from May 2025. It is long but gives a lot of info-warns of discrepancies/name changes-research this person & ALL PEOPLE FOR HOME REPAIR, get CADL/business/contractor lic# to research IF you get estimate or save time, ask him to text picture of his ID/lic#"s, you will know if he doesn't respond, get them if he arrives & have him print his name next to his signature. This guy is very shady. I am not tech savy but pretty good at research to keep track of him. He said his name was John Roman but found his real name is John Santos. As you read, my experience with John Santos is below. Below in this ad you will see he has a manager, Sheryl, introduces himself as Anthony. This is new to his post. When I search the two phone numbers I have for him, 916 954 2197 which is what he gave me for, comes up as Anthony Bravo; the other number I have, 916 359 9804, comes up as Anthony Bravo, with all kinds of pictures of homes, yards, etc. with the same note underneath the pictures: Thank you Anthony Bravo; if you go to the 7th picture, click on it you will be able to read the customer letter where the people refer to Anton, they are thanking him, with Anton's phone #, area code 534 in Wisconsin, ARE ALL JOHN'S PICS FAKE? The email address he used to correspond with me is jhc@junkhaulingsolutions.com now unverifiable for Home Repair Solutions, I have emails/text mess from 916 954 2197 # saved with this email & correspondence. I printed all adds w/different company names/info attached to both phone numbers. In his many CL ads with different business names (Junk Hauling Solutions, Home Repair Solutions-also on Home Advisor, Home Repair Solutions LLC, Fix it Fast Pros, Fix it fast pros handyman, Trusted Handyman Pros, Hero Handyman) he advertised in the license info for a handyman license with no #, now states "subcontractor" with no license # for Hero Handyman. I have now searched every business/personal name on California's contractor's board, found no license, spoke to a man at the contractor's board, he could not find John Santos or John Ramos. There is one place you can find John Santos, on the BBB; google JHS Repairs, has 2 complaints. Here is my original complaint describing my encounter with John Santos aka Anthony Bravo at this moment: "I am a disabled female senior & Mr. John Santos, who wrote in an email stated his name is John Roman, (I found him on Craigslist), also advertised in his ad he carried a handyman license thru CA & said he would bring it when he came to my house, I got distracted, never got it & when I requested via email, after work was done, he said he did not have to give it to me because the job was less than $1,000, handymen do not get licensed per state. He goes by (NEW FOR THIS REVIEW...HE HAS GONE BY SEVERAL NAMES) three business names: Junk Hauling Solutions and Home Repair Solutions and Home Repair Solutions, LLC Not only did he do a horrible job he stole $150.00, refusing to refund me this money from overcharging me for paint. He asked for $200 for 5 gallons of paint, returned with 1 gallon & didn't use the whole gallon. He installed the security lights wrong, he did not install the protective sheet between the t1-11 & the insulation. (I AM ADDING THIS DURING MY NEW REVIEW...THE T1-11 DOES NOT MATCH HOMES ORIGINAL T1-11, SO OBVIOUS I CAN SEE IT FROM THE STREET, CALKING WAS TO BE APPLIED AROUND ALL MY WINDOWS, WASN'T DONE) This job was so easy, John Santos was so lazy he was having someone else do the job while he stood there. John Santos is a predator, looking for single females, I realized this later after he asked questions if I had a partner. The first thing he wanted to do when he arrived was use my bathroom, I said no but he did not drive to the fast food restaurant down the road. I don't let people I don't know in my house. I am now working on letting people know. I HOPE YOU HEED MY WARNING WHENEVER YOU HAVE TO HIRE PEOPLE WHO ARE SELF EMPLOYED. NOT ALL PEOPLE ARE BAD BUT THEY ARE OUT THERE. ALSO, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOMEONE WITH YOU FOR A SECOND PAIR OF EYES & EARS TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE NOT GETTING SCAMMED. read more
