What seemed to be a positive experience has now slipped into a very negative one working with Teddy! I had him install some simple wall shelves into a concrete supporting wall. The shelves were installed and remain intact but one of the shelves is completely not leveled. When Teddy initially left my place he left me with a guarantee that if for any reason I am not happy or the shelves fall down he would be happy to come fix them. Obviously this provided a great sense of relief. Even though Teddy has this guarantee he clearly doesn't abide by it! After connecting with him again and telling him that one of the shelves isn't level I asked him to come over and rectify it to which he stated that he's not going to be able to do so without charging me for an hour's worth of work again! He began to make statements that he was using the per-defined holes as his guide and he just re-purposed them. I have never known a contractor to not measure! He proceeded to tell me things like the cost of driving there, parking etc. it wouldn't be worth his time to revisit without charging. I was truly shocked and ultimately told him not to return and I was sure to share my experience and dissatisfaction. y. read more

I was in need of basic handyman service, I called Teddy. I had high hopes based on all the great reviews. I called Teddy on a Tuesday. He picks up the phone "hello?", like I was intruding by calling his cell phone. After some back and forth to confirm I, indeed, reached Teddy the handyman, he says he can come by the next day at 4:30pm no problem. 4:30 comes around and no Teddy. I call Teddy and he acts like he's never heard of me. He then recalls our conversation from the other day and says he'll be over at 6pm. 6:30pm rolls around and no Teddy. I call him back and he says "oh I'm close". Teddy never shows up nor calls to apologize. Very unprofessional. read more

Um, I was referred to Mi Casa (aka Teddy) since they apparently are one of the that service the area where I live (SOMA). Although I have several projects that need to addressing by next week, I instead get a voicemail that says Teddy will be out until the 17th (over 2 weeks away). Fair that I'm giving them 1-star for a vacation? Probably not. But fair that what is one of my few options to get me a working closet is out of town for 2 weeks (probably from overcharging customers)? Probably not. Don't get between me and my closet. Any wrinkles moving forward be blamed on Teddy. read more

The first thing you'll notice about Teddy when compared to other SF handyman services is that he actually SHOWS UP for appointments. What a concept... Teddy's fees are remarkable as well - he charges a very reasonable rate for his time and skills. My project wasn't overly complex, but involved a challenging environment wherein the wall studs were impossible to confidently locate. No problem, Teddy came up with an alternative solution with toggle bolts and we were on our way. Between us we knocked out a tedious built-in cabinet installation job in 5 hours - something which would have taken me several days by myself. If you've got interior repair or remodeling projects, simple electrical or plumbing fixes, Teddy is an all-round handyman who will take the job and get it done. He's a really nice guy too. read more

I called Teddy, as I needed assistance with a ceiling fan installation. He was courteous, professional, on time and handled the install in under 60 minutes!! All this for a very competitive price. I will happily recommend him to friends, colleagues and clients. Oh and his wife handles the cleaning business. Thanks Teddy!!! read more

Teddy installed a new kitchen faucet for me today at very short notice. He was on time, courteous, professional and very respectful (as in, "would you like me to take off my shoes?"). This was a small job and I cannot imagine he made much profit from it, especially given the cost of parking around here, but he treated my job like it mattered. He installed the faucet in twenty minutes and it works perfectly. Who can ask for more than that? Don't all call him at once because I have more jobs around here ... :) read more

Easy to schedule with Teddy! Teddy and his helper showed up on time for our appointment and got things started right away. We had Teddy help us install a new vanity in our master bathroom, along with a new vanity light and help us fixed our door that did not close properly. He was efficient and fast. Also did a great job cleaning up after the installation. Very reasonable priced! Would def. call him back for future services! read more

When none of the other handymen called back or had time to do the job, Teddy did. He answered the phone right away and came that same day. He fixed my garbage disposal and lamp switch all for a great price. I'll call him again in a heart beat when I need help around the house. read more

I opened up my first business about one year ago. My emotions were running high with fear as it was my first time being self-employed (me, myself and I). I was overwhelmed! I was referred to Teddy by another tenant in the building for odd & end jobs. To my surprise, he was able to paint my walls, switch out my sink, electrical work and hang two very large window fixtures all in a few days. This time, I was overwhelmed with JOY! A year later, I am delighted to say that I've expanded my business. Yes, there are new challenges and stress will arise. Although, when it comes to handyman services, I can now rest assure knowing that Teddy is reliable, professional and just plain nice! I highly recommend him! read more

I was in a quick pinch and scoured Yelp to find a handyman who I could get in today and do 3 quick projects. I was not only able to get ahold of Teddy, but he was able to be at my home in roughly 20 minutes. He was quick, knowledgable, and at a reasonable price. He reinstalled a towel rod, a new toilet seat cover, and hung 5 pictures. I will definitely be calling him again for my future handyman needs! read more

My office hired Teddy and his crew to remove window blind brackets and install new brackets and blinds and we were ecstatic with their service! They were efficient and professional, working around our crowded office space with ease and care. They also arrived on time for our appointment which was great! Before our appointment, my office had scheduling conflicts and even so, Teddy was happy to work with our schedule with short notice. Teddy and his crew provided a great service and I would highly recommend them for businesses and home owners looking for a handyman in SF/ Bay Area! :) read more

I'm so glad I found Teddy! I needed to have a bathroom mirror and towel bar installed. I called him up and he agreed to do the work on that same day after I texted him a bunch of pictures. He was very prompt in replying. I showed the same pictures to some other handyman who said it will take him 3 hours to install. But Teddy did the job in less than an hour. I was more than happy especially for the rate he is charging. He'll be my main handyman from now on. read more

We were so lucky to find Teddy! In a day we had all we asked for! He was so efficient, nice and trustful! We needed a wooden ramp to be able to take our scooter out from the building storage and he found the best solution for us! I am sure we'll call him again. read more

Friendly, on-time, efficient, competitive pricing. Just what we needed for our small kitchen project. Highly recommended. read more

My experience with Teddy was terrible. All I needed done was hanging a hammock. He first showed up with no tools to the appointment I had come home early from work for. He then came back two hours later with tools, but no stud finder. I knew where my studs were but he insisted there was another in the door frame. We found there wasn't after he drilled a neat 3/8 inch hole through it. He also didn't have any materials to cover up holes with him so he couldn't fix such mistakes. The angles he drilled the holes in for the hammock were also wrong (which is all I really needed him to do, I had the hooks/lag shield already), so it started loosening as soon as we'd set it up. At the end, I was ready to pay him and just hire someone else to fix everything, but he said he felt bad we didn't get it done and would come back the next day. So I didn't call anyone else. The next day, he didn't respond to phone calls until the time of the appointment, and said he was 5 or 10 minutes away. He then never showed up, or responded to phone calls over the next two hours. Summary: I'm left with three holes in my wall, lost the money I spent, and came home early two days in a row only to be left hanging. Total flake, and doesn't know his stuff. read more

Buyer Beware! Teddy's ethics of professionalism are Shady. I've been calling back for a over week now with no response, to fix what he broke --which leads me to believe he didn't know what he was doing...but went ahead anyways to Get Paid. Teddy said he has a license, good reviews and knew how to install door parts for my then, perfectly working Viking refrigerator. I hired him with the belief that Teddy and assistant could be trusted (with following step by step, Instructions with photo diagrams). After disassembling the refrigerator doors, wires, hinges apart then reinstalling all the pieces, he asked "Would I mind if the refrigerator lights are always on and never turn off?" "Would I mind if the inside of fridge is warm?" He tells me this now after saying the job is complete???! He also claimed a part was missing from what Viking sent me, which is a lie because I double checked by calling Viking. Then Teddy said he had to go and will come back tomorrow to see if he can re-fix the wiring problem. Meanwhile, my refrigerator doesn't get cold anymore, the settings panel are blinking errors for fridge and freezer, everything has spoiled/melted --food, milk, meat. Had to dump out all my food. He broke my refrigerator and freezer. I have politely called him every day for over a week afterward to come back to fix his mess. He does not respond no matter what. NOW, I HAVE TO PAY FOR ADDITIONAL COSTS TO HAVE VIKING come over and rewire the mess he made of my expensive appliance. I regret paying him that day, with the promise that he was coming back 'tomorrow' when he had more time... read more

I rang and made an appointment to get an estimate, and they were a no-show. Please don't waste my time if you can't show up - at least phone and tell me you can't come. read more

Would love to have had the opportunity to actually comment on Mi Casa's service, but they never returned my phone calls. Maybe my job wasn't big enough for them. That's okay, but wouldn't the professional thing to do be to call the customer back and let them know rather than just ignore them? read more

Teddy and his partner were fantastic. They did a rather large painting job for us, repainting the front of our building. He also did some sign removal and installation for us too. I'm going to call Teddy again for general handyman services. read more

Teddy did a great job hanging some large items on the walls and put together a buffet that would have surely taken forever for us to do on our own. Great service and great attitude. I will be using him again...soon read more

I am concerned for two reasons. The first is that this contractor bid a job (with his signature), then pulled a "bait and switch" when he showed up to do it, resulting in a 40% increase in the bid. I dismissed him and he left me with a mess to clean up. I had taken an unpaid day from work to be there and I had a deadline for getting the job done. I had to scramble to find someone else and then take off another day. He also left me, a single retired woman, to put back the washer and dryer by myself. The second is that I tried once before to post this warning to others and Yelp did not publlish it, even though I post frequently and nearly always with very positive reviews. read more

Teddy's work is excellent and his fees seem inexpensive to me. He repaired two sections of rotted wood on the outside of my house and did some minor roof repair. I love being able to e-mail a handyman is well :) Very responsive. Was very happy to come home today and find everything complete and cleaned up. read more

Teddy was amazing!! He came late in the evening the same day I called because I didn't get off work until after he was closed. He did an amazing job bolting my toilet bowl in the bathroom after several handy men didn't even show up for my appointment. He even went to buy parts I needed. Truly exceeded my expectations. I will recommend teddy to anyone and will use him again myself! Thanks Teddy!! read more

Teddy helped us with our miner project we had in our garage, installing some new shelf and tool box. He his amazing!

I recommend Teddy,his a good guy very honest he knows what his doing. He did a some of minor repair in our unit here at opera plaza, same with the rental condo we have here he is on my phone book easy to deal with,short notice ok for him he will not let you wait his very punctual on his time .we are all busy time is gold for us read more

Excellent! I called them after I got an over the top estimate for repairs on my SF rental. He came in with a quote a third of the original guys bid. He knocked the job out in two days and it was perfect. I will be calling Teddy in the future, he is awesome. read more

FREAKING AWESOME!! I don't know what possessed me to try to do home repairs on a Friday night... but when I was halfway through taking out my old kitchen faucet, I couldn't get the bolt loose! After calling a few friends that were undoubtedly in the middle of cocktail hour, I did a Yelp search and found Teddy. He came over in just a few minutes, took the faucet out like it was nothing, and installed the new one. Oh, and fixed my garbage disposal that a previous plumber told me I'd have to replace. He's incredibly reasonably priced (he could have totally held out for more at this hour), super nice and professional. I will be seeing him again soon read more

Another 5 star review for Mi Casa! I was able to schedule an appointment with Teddy with just two days notice. He was professional and friendly. I needed two shelving units secured to the wall (child-proofing), as well as a wall mounted coat hanger and four selves. Everything had to be drilled into concrete walls. Even so, Teddy hustled and got everything done within an hour. I highly recommend him! read more

Showed up on time for three days, did the work very professionally and a really pleasant and nice guy. A real life saver right before selling our house - he made the process a lot easier and it also looks great. Could not be happier. read more

I had a pipe break in the top floor of my apartment building causing damage down three floors. The tenants were understandably upset. I called Teddy and made sure to get the job done very quickly and when he was done it looked as good as new. Teddy is really nice, fast worker and reasonably priced. I highly recommend him read more

Teddy did fine work for a reasonable price. He also showed up on time and finished when he said he would. He left the work area cleaner than he found it. Overall, a very good experience. read more

We used those guys on a very short notice to fix refrigerator and broken PAYNE commercial furnace. They came in and accomplished everything on a fly, very quickly, securely and were not as expensive as others. Highly recommend. read more

I called Ted P. On a Saturday to help fix a closet door at my rental property. He showed up Sunday as scheduled and fixed it at a fraction of the cost for replacing the door (easily $400+). Awesome work, thank you! read more

Teddy's work was excellent, efficient and way under budget compared to other contractors. We recently had him build a countertop and six shelves out of reclaimed wood--all of which he did in just one afternoon! The work is BEAUTIFUL, and Teddy was trustworthy, flexible with our work schedule and very quick. Best of all? The quality of the work is excellent. I would definitely use Teddy again and refer him to friends and family. read more

Teddy is incredible. We hired him to hang a few large pictures for us, and he did everything quickly and skillfully. He was able to squeeze us in with little notice (coming on a Sunday) and his rate is very reasonable. Will definitely be using him again for additional handyman services. read more

I was so pleased with how quickly Teddy from Mi Casa arrived on premises. I called him for an estimate to repair a wood panel and closet door at my business, expecting just a quote for today. He arrived in about half an hour, completed the repairs in less than that, and was extremely fair priced. I will definitely use Mi Casa again for future "handyman" repairs. read more

Teddy helped unclog and remove a hex wrench from my garbage disposal at my apartment in SoMa. He arrived promptly, was very nice, and fixed the problems in 15 minutes. I am very happy now (and my girlfriend will be, too, when she gets home!), and I learned about how to do future maintenance in the process. I would definitely recommend Teddy to my friends in the area and will definitely use him again. There's a commenter below who is upset that Teddy was out of town for a brief period in early 2013 (not sure why that's bad--he has family, too, and he certainly charges very reasonable rates). He is back now (as of Mar 20, 2013). read more

Teddy came and fastened a Murphy bed and desk to my walls. He was on time, very friendly and courteous and did a fantastic job. I have saved his number in my phone, if I ever need anything else done in my apartment I will only call Teddy! Thank you, Teddy! read more

Teddy was prompt, courteous, professional, clean and very knowledgeable about many issues and how to resolve them. All at a very competitive price. I highly recommend him. Thank you Teddy!! read more

We were very happy with Teddy's quality of work ...and the price too! He replaced the faucets of 3 lavatories in each of our 8 building restrooms (24 lavatories) in half a day and left all restrooms cleaner than they were before he started to work. That is good customer service Teddy. Thanks! Centro Del Pueblo, 474 Valencia Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. read more
