Joubert tore down and rebuilt our fence last week and did an amazing job. On top of that, he fixed our faulting retaining wall, which looked like a lot of effort from his team. They built a beautiful retaining wall and a beautiful fence in 90 degree heat in 3 days. I think the people with the negative reviews need to get a life. These guys are great and we are already looking to hire Joubert and his team to help us with more projects on our home. read more

Joubert Services - Handyman Near Me

Consumer beware: I hired Joubert for a fence rebuild, possible fence repair. Initially I was impressed with his quick response to my call for an estimate. His price seemed very reasonable and he agreed to do the work within a couple of days of my call. Our issues with his service came the day of the work. He said I didn't need a fence rebuild, rather, a repair was all that was needed. He quoted a different price for the repair. I had requested the day before multiple times through a phone call and also through text that he write down the costs(so I'd have it in writing and for reference to discuss with my spouse). He never followed through! That should've been my first clue. I agreed to the new price, the workers performed the fence repair. Joubert stayed briefly but said the guys were knowledgeable and have built plenty of fences before and knew what to do. After the work was finished the two workers left. I went to examine the work. My first complaint was sawdust from their work was all over the patio and side walkway where they worked. Upon closer inspection nails, about 10 were found tossed in my yard in the dirt. I called Joubert and told him that the workers left a mess. He stated that they probably were expecting him to come clean the job site(nice quick witty response although unlikely true). I further discussed with him how I was wondering how the price changed so drastically from a couple days ago. He stated because he hired the two workers and the cost of the repair was the reason. (Again, this should've been explained and costs should've been in writing!) Then to further add insult to the job performed, come to find out about 5 days later when the sprinkler system was programmed to water the landscape we discovered a river of water from damage to a main water pipe from their shoddy work. We immediately told Joubert and he wanted to send his workers to fix the issue. We were adamant that we did not want him to return to fix the pipe due to poor customer service and workmanship. Up to this point he has not provided any invoice or reference for the work he did. In fact, on a phone call the day of the work he stated, "Just send the money and I'll send the invoice". Many of you who may read this review may say you're willing to take a chance on his company because of his great reviews. In fact, that's why I did. But don't say I didn't warn you. And also, learn from me. Get things put in writing and save yourself some grief even if it's just a handyman you're hiring. One of the reasons we hired Joubert was to fix our fence gate which was out of line and wouldn't close. His workers used a metal bracket and what look like drywall anchors to realign and hold the fence by securing to our house. We just noticed that the anchors are coming loose and the gate is starting to come out of alignment again causing the gate to rub against the fence. I would attribute this to what looks like a hack job in general. Plus, you can now see the two big holes in our stucco where the anchors were secured. read more

Update! Joubert has completed my floor project. It only took 2 days to complete but that's because we already occupy the home. They moved everything for us and made it as painless as possible. I was dreading this project because it seemed like a lot of hassle and time for me, but it really wasn't at all. They even picked up the flooring materials for us and disposed of the old floor. read more

Joubert Services - Before (left) and After (right) floor replaced by Joubert Services - Handyman Near Me

I've used Joubert Services in the past and haven't had major complaints until he tried to install a sliding glass patio door for me. My original door was cracked and I was hoping to avoid replacing the entire unit and Joubert was going to see if he could find just the slider for me. He found one and we set the appointment for installation. He was on time and began installing the door while I was at work. A few hours later, he sent a text saying he was done, and he would be back at 5 PM for payment. I went home to find the slider open, no screen (he was going to pick one up but apparently forgot), flies enjoying the freedom and coming and going and I wasn't too happy about this. Also wasn't happy to see a trail of glass from my patio, down the side yard, down the driveway and all over the sidewalk and street. I called Joubert to let him know this needed to be cleaned up and he seemed surprised that it was a concern to me. His guy that was there working on my fence was told by Joubert to clean it up and he did by sweeping all the broken glass into the rocks. When Joubert came back at 5, I let him know I wasn't happy with the glass not being cleaned up properly, wasn't happy with the door as it didn't shut smoothly and wouldn't lock correctly. Also wasn't happy that he removed a child-proof lock from my old door, which wasn't asked of him to do, installed it on the new door, and he didn't line it up properly and so was now unusable. Since he had to cut into the plastic around the door to install this lock that he was never asked to install, he couldn't remove the lock without it looking stupid. So now I have another unusable lock. Joubert worked on the door for about 45 minutes and still couldn't get it right. I should have gone with a "real" glass place originally and paid more to someone who knew what they were doing. In the end, I had to call a glass place in town who came out and fixed Joubert's problem. Joubert had installed the door upside down and facing the wrong way. The glass technicians had to remove the wheels and turn the door upside down to get it the right way, reinstalled the wheels, made adjustments, had to remove the face plate on the frame (and the drywall screws Joubert used to install it) and properly reinstall that. So on top of what Joubert was paid, I had to shell out another $150 for someone to fix his mistakes. I have learned my lesson and will no longer use Joubert. Oh, I'm still waiting for him to come and clean all the glass out of my rock, which was supposed to be done last Sunday, but wasn't. I won't hold my breath. read more

I consider Joubert part of my family now. He's done work inside my house. He also painted my whole house plus built me a new fence all around my house. He's amazing and so are his crew! I am so happy with everything he has done. Truly amazing he and his crew are. read more

As they say you get what you pay for, while i liked Joubert and his crew, good friendly folks, however the quality of work was subpar. In fact, I had to call him several times to come back and fix the fence. Joubert finally came a day after he said he would without any heads up. When I got home he was already working on the fence and looked upset. In the end when he was done I still Paid him for coming out however the fixing job was below subpar again. In fact, it made it look worse! So won't be hiring him again. read more

I can't say enough good things about Joubert and his crew. We initially hired Joubert to paint our walls to get our unit ready to sell. He offered very competitive rates and a very flexible schedule. After doing a great job, we hired him to install new hardwood floors, refinish our kitchen cabinets, install a glass backsplash, install new baseboards, patch up drywall, and more. He did a fantastic job at affordable rates. Despite being a busy father and family man, Joubert is willing to go the extra mile to make sure you're happy. He's hard working, easy to work with, punctual, positive, and is overall a kind spirit. Go with Joubert for your next home renovation project, you wont regret it! read more

I noticed a drip of water coming from my family room ceiling. There two bathrooms upstairs that could be the source of the leak, but I made a quick check of the bathrooms and I couldn't find the source of the water but I knew it couldn't be a good thing! I messaged Joubert through Yelp and received a response almost immediately. I called him and he was at my house in less than an hour. That was about 4 pm on a Monday and he and his team were back at 8 am Tuesday. He opened up the ceiling, repaired the leak, closed it up and painted so that you cannot tell there was ever an issue there. We also asked him to add some canned lights, as long as he was here, and he installed them by the end of the day on Tuesday. Overall, the pricing was very reasonable. His crew was clean and very professional the job was completed in less time than expected. I would definitely call him again if I need any household projects or repairs. read more

My review is based on the work estimate Joubert Silva provided me with after coming to my home to measure the fence for a replacement. Prior to his appt. with me, I asked if he was licensed and he said yes. He was prompt for the appt., courteous, and went on his way and assured me he would get back with a written estimate in a couple days. I received his estimate as promised. He provided his license number on the letterhead as 945086, and typed his letterhead himself. On the letter, he put Joubert Services, De Abreu Const. , and his cell number. He did not put his last name on letter. After checking his license status on the CSLB website, I learned it had expired on 8/31/19. Violation Code 7114. With this information, I had to call him and tell him I received his quote and again I asked him if he was licensed. He said yes again. Then I told him that the license # he provided me expired in August. He acted surprised and said he didn't know? Then I proceeded to say that had he been honest with me and told me he didn't have a license, I wouldn't raise the concerns I have now. He agreed, and said he understood. All of the reviews on here, seem to be happy with his work, but I don't see recent reviews about fences. Regardless, the license number he used goes to De Abreu Const. which I don't even think belongs to him. He told me his name is Joubert Silva, but yet claims this is his license number and he is the owner. I urge you to be aware, and be cautious. Honesty is key, whether or not you have a license, expired license, or not. This is a huge red flag, especially after I saw the violation code on this license #. read more

Joubert Services - Handyman Near Me

When my previous renter vacated my house suddenly and left a huge mess, I was seriously worried. I had no clue who to call. I tried one contractor first and they turned out to be very lousy. I had to terminate them after day 3 and frantically search for another contractor. Luckily, I found Joubert online. Joubert is one of the best handyman I have ever used. He did an outstanding job in taking care of many little and big issues at my house in Antioch including taking care of mess left behind by previous contractor. He was always there on time, stuck to the schedule and got 95% of the work done as planned. The remaining 5% issues he took care of soon after I pointed them out to him. He is Brazilian and so are the people who work for him. They all have very strong work ethic, have outstanding workmanship and work very fast, especially the electrician who can also paint very well. He put up 3 fans in less than an hour. All 1300 s.f. of space inside the house was painted in 2 days. All kitchen appliances including sink we're installed in 1 day along with new pergo floors. Joubert's charges were also reasonable. I strongly recommend Joubert for great majority of the fixings around the house including painting, flooring, electric work, granite installation, kitchen upgrade including installation of new appliances. read more

Joubert has completed our living room wallpaper project very beautifully.. His service is very fast and he is very reliable ..whatever he say he will deliver it very fast.. We will definitely use his service again read more

First time we hired him for fence repair he was great. Second time, he confirmed over the phone, but never showed up or called.

Had fencing installed on one side of my property. His men did all the hard work which was done in one day. My complaints are: poor quality of wooden posts and materials used; posts were not deep enough in the ground and a section of the fence is now slightly leaning after only 1 year of installation. I will probably have to redo in a few years. Learned my lesson! read more

We had a leaky roof that caused water damage in our attic and down into our closet lighting fixture. Joubert and his crew came right on time, dried out everything, fixed the light and were very reasonable price-wise. Thank you, Joubert! read more

Joubert and his assistants are Kind, hard working Professional. They really care for the project and do an amazing job. I just called Joubert, for wallpapers but I ended up asking him to do multiple projects after, and I'm so happy I found him. I'll be definitely calling him for any other projects I have. Thank you so much Joubert! read more

I love love the work he has done! Joubert is a lot cheaper than the quotes i received but the same quality work if not better. I did a complete renovation on my 2 bedroom 1 bath condo and I love the results. His team also works very fast. 100% recommend. read more

We had a common fence section fall down in our backyard deck (townhouse) due to heavy winds. I used Yelp's request a quote and promptly received a response from Joubert. He came out the same day that we made contact. He provided a verbal quote which I had to review with my neighbor before proceeding. I contacted Joubert later that day and he advised that he and his crew could come out the next day. They promptly replaced the section with new slats, runners and also added a 4x4 post sunk in concrete to better stabilize the fence section. He also let me know that his estimate was lower than expected but honored the original quote. I would have given Joubert 5 stars but did not since there was some minor cleanup that should have been done[ (sawdust, nails and pieces of wood from the old fence) that I didn't notice until after he had left. In summary, I would definitely use Joubert Services again. Very courteous, prompt and reasonably priced. read more

I needed some special pictures hung and called Joubert Services. He made an appointment for the next day. He was early (good start) and was very through in all he did. Joubert measured twice to double check. Everything came out perfect. His rates are very reasonable too. I like that he takes pride in his work. Will use him again. read more

Joubert is wonderful! He was referred by my boyfriend's family who has been working with his family and their friends for years. I asked him to paint my 1 bedroom apartment; the results were wonderful! My apartment is about 950 sq ft - he primed and did one coat of color for $1000, slightly lower than the estimate I received from a Kelly Moore contractor. He was very nice, professional and most importantly, trust worthy. I was very comfortable leaving him a key so he could paint while I was at work. Highly recommend Joubert for any household projects you need done! read more

Joubert did a great job! We purchased a groupon deal for Joubert's first visit and will definitely be hiring him again. He uses earth friendly products and totally worked with our schedule. He even helped me search for our newly adopted cat who went "missing" during his deep cleaning session, probably in response to the vacuum cleaner. (Turns out she hid inside a kitchen cabinet!) Joubert was very thorough and checked with me to make sure that each room was cleaned to my liking. I definitely recommend him! read more

Bathrooms and kitchen were sparkling. Joubert is very hard working, friendly, easy to work with, and made sure I was happy with everything before he left. I will definitely use his services again, and on a more regular basis! Thanks Joubert! read more

I'm sad to say this but, joubert has no follow through. I had to continuously bug him for a quote for my fence than he finally came out and gave me a quote. I also asked him for a quote to replace two windows and a door. He told me he would get back to me and it's been over two months. I felt like I was begging him to do work for me that I was paying him to do. You can definitely get better service somewhere else and with a more reliable person. read more

Joubert arrived on time and did a great job cleaning the apartment. It was sparkling clean when he left. He even helped fix my sink! I plan on using his services again. read more

Joubert did one of those promotions on Amazon for window washing. I badly needed the outside of my 2nd story windows washed as I can no longer climb the big ladder. So promotion in hand to save some bucks, I called in March to schedule the cleaning. He arrived on time, had all the necessary equipment to reach the 2nd story windows, and the supplies to make the windows sparkle. I was delighted! Joubert was very professional and a delightfully friendly fella. I also have some regular handyman repairs to get done, which I discussed while he was here. I'm definitely going to call them to take care of those too! read more

I was given an Amazon voucher for 2 hours handyman service as a gift last Christmas. When I found something I needed the help on 11 months later, I then see it was only good for 180 days. In going through Amazon, the face value was $59. I still need the help, so he is scheduled. Via phone, he is told by the gift giver that I needed help pulling video surveillance cords through the attic. No estimate appointment was apparently needed. He did show up on time for the appointment. That was the last thing that went right. I was at work, so I left detailed written instructions for my wife to give him: "For the install: 3 of the 4 exterior cameras have the wires connected and pushed through in to the attic. The 4th is on the porch and needs the wires pushed through the hole and connected to the camera. The wire for that one is next to the hole inside the attic. The other 3 cables need to be pulled over from where they are pushed through into the attic and put through the hole in the ceiling. The 4 interior cameras need the wires connected at the cameras from the attic side. The wires for that are in the attic next to the main access point. If additional cable is needed for the one on the other side of the kitchen, there is a 100 ft cable on the computer desk. All wires need to be routed through the hole in the ceiling above the storage above the living room tv. Then through the hole drilled in the top of my closet which is the bottom of that shelf. Then wires through the wall behind our bedroom tv." She told me he stated the initial 2 hours he was scheduled would cost another $91 on top of the $59 from the expired voucher. Ok, I missed the expiration details. When he was explained the job, my wife described his reaction as whiney. That it was going to take longer than 2 hours. I said ok, I just wanted it done. He proceeds to pull the one cable from the porch and two of the interior cables. He then tells my wife he can't do the other two interior cameras because there is a drop ceiling and he can't reach the cameras. This takes 3 hours and another $65 on top of the $150 already paid. When I get home and she tells me this, I am not pleased. I go and try to hook up the camera cables to the dar and I only see three cables. He failed to route the cables for the other three exterior cameras. I try and hook up the three that are there and find that there isn't enough slack in the cable to reach the dvr. I had to pay someone else to finish the job and find that the three cables he did route were tangled in a mess above the hole in the ceiling. The new guy had to pull them back up into the attic and untangle the mess so I had enough cable to reach the dvr. He then simply cut a hole above the camera in the drop ceiling for the two cameras Joubert said he couldn't do, pulled the cables for those two and the other three exterior cameras and was done. My experience was a bad attitude and very poor work quality. This guy is an idiot. read more

Joubert is AMAZING! We hired him to clean out our new home from former tenants and they made it sparkle and shine. I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about this man and his hard working wife. I am extremely picking about cleaning because I use to clean homes myself, he exceeded my expectations. Worth every cent and the big TIP we gave him because he deserved it! read more

I purchased the Groupon for a 1 hour cleaning. We had just rented a new apartment that needed a deep clean before we moved our stuff in and Joubert did a great job! He worked very hard to vacuum and mop the floors, clean the windows (inside and out), scrub down all sinks, toilets and the bathtub, and touch up all cabinets, corners, window sills, and door frames -- all in an hour. When I saw him overworking himself I offered to pay for another hour so he didn't have to work so hard. He then let me buy another hour off of Groupon (less than half the price)! Overall I am extremely satisfied with Joubert's services and would highly recommend him to anyone in the Bay Area. read more

Thank you so very much for making my problem your problem. I called him around 8am this morning frantic in need of his assistance. I put a hole in my wall and I could not get it patched up soon enough (obviously trying to hide my clumsiness) but sensing my distress he was able to fit me into a jam packed day. He communicated every step of the way,I did not feel as if he rushed or anything of that nature. I did not realize extent of his service's/knowledge and I'm actually going to use him as my chimney sweep as well for some plumbing work!I am extremely grateful that he came out of his way to make my day better! Thank you Thank you Thank you!! read more

I hired Joubert on short notice for a gutter cleaning and he did a fantastic job. Joubert was very nice, professional and did a great job with speed and thoroughness.

I purchased a Groupon deal for one hour of cleaning services from Joubert as the apartment I was moving out of was in dire need of a scrub down. Joubert arrived early, was extremely courteous and did an amazingly job of cleaning up my apartment. My bathroom and counter tops were sparkling by the time he was done with them. I could walk around the apartment barefoot and not feel any traces of dirt/dust on the floor. Joubert is really hardworking and I highly recommend his services. Would definitely pay full price next time. read more

I had purchased a Living Social deal for window washing, which we very much needed. I noticed on his website that they also offer housecleaning, which we also very much needed. I was a little hesitant at first, because it's always a little scary to have someone cleaning your home around your valuables ...I liked what all the Yelpers had said, so I began to feel confident to hire them. Joubert and his wife showed up yesterday, not only on time, but 10 minutes early. They worked for HOURS cleaning our home from top to bottom including all the windows. We have a few glass top tables, large mirrors, and glass shower doors, lot of windows and they made ALL of them just sparkle!! We also have several areas with lots of shelves. They carefully dusted each item and put them right back into place. Our whole house has shutters on all the windows, and they carefully dusted and cleaned each and every slat. The floors and countertops are all shiny and clean. I could go on and on...Joubert and his wife are such kind, hardworking people. I enjoyed meeting them, and I feel very blessed to have found them. I look forward to having them here again read more

We had our place cleaned by Joubert Services today - our place was in desperate need of a cleaning (tumbleweed sized dust bunnies), and he did a GREAT job. He cleaned for 3 hours straight and was very thorough. Dusted, mopped, vacuumed, defurred our couch (our white couch was gray) and the kitchen is now sparkling. Totally worth it, I would recommend him to anyone. read more

Joubert is very professional. I was in need of getting 39 windows clean and luckily I found Joubert. He showed up early and quoted for 3 hours and worked intensively for 6 hours!!

I highly recommend him! read more
