Saying Omar the Handyman is good at his job is like saying Taylor Swift and Steph Curry are good at theirs. We had him tackle a significant makeover and paint job on our 122 year old cottage. Omar's bid was a good 20% higher than #2. We chose him because of how clearly he talked the details, from paint chemistry for a salt air climate to the right way to replace those old cedar shingles. He also had a new kitchen window created from scratch to match the ones in the rest of the old house. Over the 3 - 4 week project, Omar and his crew invariably left the place immaculate, no clutter, no mess. The answer to nearly ever request was "Yes, we can do that." While they are not cheap, the tab for all of the extras we asked for was fair. And we have no doubt that the work will hold up very well. When you think about how valuable your home is, why would you not hire the best in the business to fix whatever is wrong with it? The property will appreciate, and pay you back 10X over. read more

The one good thing I can say is that my project was completed for the agreed to rate, which is the first time I've had this experience in the Monterey region. The estimate was the most comprehensive that I received, which did build trust even though it was on the high side. In retrospect, the labor rate was too high for the quality of work performed. "Omar the Handyman" didn't do any of the work, he farmed it out. For projects allowing more planning, I don't think that I would work with them again. Doctor-level labor rates for amateur-level workmanship? Nah. read more

Omar responded very quickly. We had an rock thrown through one of the small 4x4 windows at our front door. He sent one of his workers over the next morning at 8 AM. He worked quickly to remove the window, go get the glass, return and install it and glaze it. During the project, Omar came by to inspect the job. The original price was extraordinarily high, but we were desperate because we had a new tenant moving in in 3 days, so we accepted it. We talked to a few contractors we know and they thought it was high too. We shared our concerns with Omar. He agreed to reduce the price by 1/3, requesting we provide a review. We would have given him a review anyway. read more

We needed a new attic hatch cover fabricated and installed. Omar was great. Professional, on time, careful, and quick. Highly recommended.

Omar removed fixtures from our closets so we could have closet organizer systems installed. They arrived at the scheduled time, worked efficiently and cleaned up after they completed the work. Very satisfied with their professionalism! read more

I really enjoyed my interaction with Omar. He was there when he said he would be and sent me an estimate in a timely manner. I did decide not to move forward with my project, only because I had no idea how much painting would cost and it ended up costing more than I'm willing to spend right now. Would I call on him in the future? Yes I would. Thank you Omar! read more

Fast response and same day service. Omar went above and beyond. Will definitely use him again.

Omar was very responsive to a project we needed help with. Communicated very well and very upfront with pricing. Really just enjoyed how easy it was to work with Omar from a communication perspective and he also did a great job with some plumbing/faucet work to ensure it was working and installed properly. If we needed help on other work we wouldn't hesitate to work with him again. read more

I asked for an estimate to fix the screen door in our backyard, but instead of charging me, he called right away and kindly explained how I could fix it myself over the phone--completely free of charge! He is very kind and honest. If something comes up next time that I can't fix on my own, I will definitely contact him again. read more

Omar and team are outstanding from start to finish. We needed plumbing, dry wall, door locks and closures and couldn't be happier with the work that was done. Omar and his team were able to troubleshoot issues as they arose, provided quality service and craftsmanship and left no trace of the work done. Color matching was perfect! Highly recommend and will definitely be reaching out again for any work needed in Pacific Grove read more

Omar was amazing! Omar arrived at our house, on time, to look at replacing a front door. Noting the unique 'Dutch door' design, he suggested an alternative fix saving us over a thousand dollars. Opting for his idea, we had him buy the supplies. The day of the repair, he arrived on time with necessary tools and completed the job in two hours - including vacuuming up the work site. Omar was considerate, professional and efficient. We will hire him again! Thanks Omar! read more

I needed a small 3x3' bit of drywall plastered & textured. Within an hour of my Yelp inquiry, Omar got back to me, and based on my photo, give me a quote and schedule for work the following week. He & his crew were prompt, professional, and friendly. They explained the steps--mud, tape, plaster, texture, and primer (I'll paint later)--would take three days (to allow for drying), and everything went smoothly according to plan. I'm exceedingly happy with how the wall turned out--can't even tell I did the amateur drywall installation myself! :) I gladly recommend Omar for handyman services and will readily rely on him for future projects. read more

We were so impressed with the results by Omar's crew that we are looking forward to working with him again on some other projects around our house. read more

Omar quickly responds through Yelp. Ideally, reach him out via phone either text or call. We needed some help grinding down uneven parts of our concrete subfloor before putting down our new Pergo laminate floors. He was very easy to work with. All it took was a quick text conversation and finding a time to do an estimate. He'll have a quote typically the next day. We reached out on Tuesday and he was able to make time the next day! Amazing. He did a wonderful job grinding down the concrete. Would recommend especially if a quick turn around is required. read more

I had some water damage from a leaky washer. Omar removed old flooring, hauled away debris, and replaced flooring. In addition, he raised a cabinet of mine to better fit a new washer/dryer. I was very frustrated with over 10 phone calls to various handymen who either didn't return my call, couldn't start work for a month, or would not come out to Carmel Valley. Omar actually answered the phone when I called, came out within a couple of days, was very professional, arrived when he said he would, and did a great job. I feel very fortunate to find Omar and will definitely use him again. read more

Omar removed an existing lower cabinet in my laundry room and assembled a tall cabinet to replace it. He installed the new cabinet, moved the power outlet into the new cabinet and trimmed out the sides of the cabinet to make it look "built in". Looks fantastic and holds all my cleaning tools and supplies. He repaired the baseboards and walls where the removal of the old cabinet left marks/gaps. Also, he put a closet rod above my washer and dryer so I could hang clothes to dry. I am very happy with my new laundry room. read more

Not only is Omar a qualified "Handyman", he is an excellent licensed contractor. We badly needed someone to repair/replace some damaged crawl space vents which were allowing rodents to enter our crawl space and attic. We contacted Omar via Yelp. He responded quickly and set up an appointment to view the required work. Within a couple of days he gave us a reasonable estimate and a date to begin the work. He fixed the damaged vents with a creative solution that was better than the original design. About two months later we decided to have the exterior of our 3600 sq ft house painted. We included Omar in our request for bids. He quickly responded with a detailed quote listing all the required tasks and materials for the job. His price and estimated timing were very competitive so he got the job. The paint job took about three weeks. His team were always on time, have an excellent work ethic and did a quality job. They were very careful of the property and cleaned up at the end of every day. Omar communicated the status on a regular basis. Since then Omar has completed several other jobs including some internal spackling/painting, replacing a couple of exterior doors and patching/painting a basement furnace room. We have been very happy with Omar's work and would highly recommend him. Also - thanks to the excellent repair work, our rodent issues seems to have been resolved!! read more
