My husband and I thought long and hard before posting this review, but we felt obligated to let people know. We looked at the reviews that were posted and realized that the company had another account a few years ago where the reviews were not all 5 stars. That account must have been deleted. This company will actually pay you to leave a good review, which I was offered a few years back. In good conscience I would not accept the offer. We manage a small complex in town, and the owners decided to try this company again. So we called and booked them for some repairs in a vacant unit. Now let me say, for the most part the work is ok. However, after replacing a door stop and adjusting the front door, it had an annoying loud squeaking sound. My husband decided to text Rob and ask him just to come back and adjust it so it would not squeak and to also finish a few things we asked them to do that were left undone. This is the reply Rob sent back to my husband. (XXXX, to be quite candid with you. I dont want to go back for that front entry door issue. There is no money in that. No offense. But this is all about money. I took care of most of the items on the list. I will bill what weve done and when you have a task with more meat on the bone i will return,  if you choose to call us. Thank you.) We were both appalled after reading this. First of all it would have taken mere minutes to make the adjustment to a job that was not done properly or the door would not be squeaking. Second they did not finish the job with all the things we asked them to do. So his text doesn't make sense, because actually there was more work to be done. So just beware if you don't have a large amount of work they don't want to come, and they don't want to make it right if there is a problem because "there's no money in it for them" if they have to come back and make it right. Skip over this company and just hire someone who will do the job no matter how small or how large. Word of advice for the company, work is work. Most people want the work, if you actually DO the work then you don't have to offer a payment, gift card or discount to get a 5 star review. Just a thought.... *******UPDATE*********** We received this text from Rob the owner after he saw the review. This is unprofessional and speaks for itself Hey XXXX, thanks for thr great review on Yelp So sad bro. That honesty offends you. When the world is full of lies. But hey listen, bussiness is all about money. One day perhaps you will understand that. I will not be billing the ( okay ) work that we did. Im not hurting for money, the okay work we do elsewhere, has paid the bills until now. I will let the parable unfold. You reap what you sow. Thanks and may you have a great night. I guess this reviewer doesn't have to say anything further. This company obviously speaks for itself. If you're looking for a really good handyman company, send me a message. I found one more than willing to come out AND in the same day to fix Original Crafts mistakes and complete the work they wouldn't. read more

Robert & his nephew are so nice. Super clean! If there's a problem, they'll rectify it right away. We've had them here for big and small jobs, and they've always been friendly and do a great job in a timely manner. Very trustworthy & thorough. 2 thumbs up! read more

Your search should stop here! Look no further!!!! THE most excellent Handyman Company! I worked in South Orange County for 20 years and this is by far the most professional and well run business I have experienced. Robert the owner is a man with integrity, honesty , just a genuine personable and knowledgeable man of his profession. Mario is also a stand up man with courtesy and knowledge of his trade. This company's first impression is great and it remains that way with every single call. They also have comparable rates and do their invoices in a very clear and concise way. They respond very quickly to your calls, excellent communication which is so important in this industry. I would highly recommend Original Craft to anyone. Garden Vista Apts.

I really liked working with Hugo and Mario. They do very good quality work. Excellent job on my bathrooms and kitchen remodeling. They did my tile floors throughout the house. This company is excellent to work with. The coordination of getting the house ready to live in was perfect thank you so much read more

Hugo and Mario and awesome, their work it top notch! They remodeled both of my bathrooms, new tub and shower, new drywall, new cabinets, new sinks, new toilets, they replaced everything. They clean up great, cant even tell they were here. I would also like to add that they were working at my place when my dog Bella had a Grand Mal seizure. They took the time to care for her until my sister could arrive. I was at work when this happened, they called me right away and my sister was able to rush over and get Bella to the vet. The doctors told us that Hugo and Mario saved her life! If they were not here and did what they did to care for her, Bella would no longer be with us. I owe more than a great review to these two gentlemen! Bella and I thank you so very much. If you need any work done, these are the guys you should use. Thanks again Hugo and Mario, you two rock.

Would you believe this? I have never ever reviewed anyone on Yelp. So, in other words, I am writing a first review and that too for a great team of Original Craft Handymen: Robert and Mario. I have known Robert and Mario for past several years from our business encounter. We did the graphics on their vans. They appreciated my input in making the work more elegant. At that time, I decided I would use their services if and when the need arises. Fortunately, till now I didn't have to make that call for help! Last week, I had a shower control valve related issue and believe me I am the last person to put a wrench to a plumbing problem, since the wrench would end up being the first tool from the tool box followed by many, many more weird ones. My friends suggested it could be as simple as a cartridge replacement or cutting up the shower enclosure to replace, cut, weld and much, much more behind the wall. I picked up the phone and called Robert. He was in the middle of a hotel renovation project, but promptly showed up next morning. He diagnosed the problem, quickly went to a local plumbing supply store, got replacement parts (lucky for me - last one on hand of that old Pfister cartridge). I still can't believe that all that service call cost me was the price for that replacement part and "NO CHARGE" for the service call! I still can't believe it. He breaks away from his busy schedule, drives to my home in morning rush hour traffic, takes care of my problem and doesn't charge me for doing all that! Where can you find guys like these two, this day and age!? I would HIGHLY recommend them. read more

Hugo and Mario did a good job with building us 3 gates. and installing 2 new doors. And I appreciate Mario fixing a last minute sensor for the lighting in the front of my house. Would recommend. Jen Y read more

We recently rented a duplex in orange. The home wasn't "move-in ready" and needed some work after we moved in. The property management company hired original craft to come fix garage lights, doorbells, and outlet issues. Hugo and his partner (I didnt catch his name) are seriously the most professional company I've ever had the privilege of working with. They were always of time, and are incredibly flexable with my busy work schedule. They fixed my door bell, and garage light issues in 20 minutes. On a completely diffrent note for the ladies out there. I never once felt uncomfortable being alone in my home with Hugo and his employee. Over the years of being a renter I have unfortunately experienced unprofessional "handyman" that made me very uncomfortable. But not these guys, two stand up men who do a great job! Highly recommend. read more

If there was a one-time option to give another star I would have used it now. Im a General Contractor in Fountain Valley and in the midst of a project pulling me in many directions it came to me that my subs were not going to cut it and I needed HELP. I found these guys in a parking lot one day when I accidentally spotted their space shuttle that is apparently also a work van, so I kept their contact info. Good thing I did because I contacted them with a list of what needed to be done to see if maybe they could help and not only did they have fair pricing but they were able to perform all the work and come out FAST. They knocked off everything on my list, plumbing, tiling, electrical, framing, drywall, etc. Their superb work was only matched by their attention to every detail, taping the floors and walkways off, picking up every speck of dirt, not leaving a trace behind and keeping a friendly atmosphere in the air for my client. If you're a GC, or a homeowner, Real Estate company, take my word for it these guys are PROFESSIONAL. I did not expect this level of dedication to the craft. Usually, my subs get in, get out, leave at least a little mess, maybe knick a wall... I'm used to that and prepared to clean up after. I did not have to lift a finger. They know what they are doing, and aren't afraid to say if there is something they don't. We even had one instance where I mistook the part was installed and thought they installed one I didn't ask for, but before I could correct myself they were ready to swap it out on their behalf. Are you kidding me?? Anyone else would have said "hey you asked for this man" I don't usually write reviews of this length but I feel that good, honest work needs a spot light these days. In short, these guys are: * Extremely Prompt * Professional * Detail Oriented * Thorough * FAST * Respectful * Trustworthy * Skilled * Experienced * Reasonable Lastly I will state this, with any skilled tradesman you can usually expect 2 of three things: Cheap, Fast, Quality. These guys are not the cheapest guys out there, but for all the hassle and mundane coordination saved, the delicacy in carrying out the task and undeniable attention to detail and doing a good job, it's honestly worth paying the extra. For what could be saved with a cheaper guy may not be worth the potential loss from an inexperienced mistake, or the ability to truly focus on the next task at hand without worrying about what Joe Fix It might be breaking, stealing or damaging. My next project will start with a call straight to these guys, thanks for all your hard work, Mario and Robert. **EDIT** After submitting I noticed my review sitting next to a suggestion for a local handyman service with a name nearly identical to the one I came up with. Please note these to are not related at all, I just made up a generic name that is apparently real LOL read more

Just wanted to say thanks to Robert and his nephew for being on-time, professional, kind. Great job gentlemen!! I'm a fan!!

Was in need of a handyman to fix a couple of issues I had in one of my condos after my renters left. I jumped on my trusty yelp app and found these guys. I initially had them come out for fix a hanging door and a running toilet. Rep came by and checked out my condo and quoted me a price and let me know they could get fixed the same day. Awesome got it done and also discovered some mold on the bathroom wall that was being caused by a leaky pipe behind the wall. I had used another handyman service to fix this problem before but I guess it wasn't done correctly and with cheap parts. So I asked these guys to take a look and fix what was busted. They came back the next day to tackled the job. They explained what was the issue and how they fixed it. Needless to say I felt very satisfied with their work, they were prompt, efficient and cleaned up any mess. Thank you guys I will definitely be using your services again. read more

I was looking for a handyman to do some work at my rental. The property management team simply wasn't doing their job and it was time to exercise control over my Property. I saw these guys on the road and decided I'd give them a call. Must say Robert and Mario are good at what they do and straightforward. They gave services on a flat fee basis with no surprises in cost. I will definitely be using them again. read more

Robert and Mario just finished a complete kitchen and bathroom renovation for me and they deserve more than 5 stars. I have worked with many different people in the construction business and they are top notch. Their excellent work ethics provided me with a prompt, worry free experience. They use quality products and have attention to detail. I would definitely use them again. read more

I highly recommend Original Craft Handyman Services. I am completely satisfied with the service I received. My new bathroom countertops, sink, faucet and lighting fixtures look great! Hugo and Mario are professional and knowledgeable. They also have a good eye for design, and helped me choose materials and make design decisions, and they were right about everything! It all looks great. They are also courteous and prompt. Their prices are reasonable, and I look forward to working with them on my next project. read more

I am so glad another Yelper was nice enough to tell me about this company. Robert is amazing to work with. He is responsive, reliable, friendly which you expect (but is still very hard to find)...and has great follow-up. He is able to work on many different projects. He has been a terrific asset to my apartment rental company. read more

Amazing service. They have made sterling upgrades on my three apartment buildings. I highly encourage their usage by any land owners. Punctual, polite, and amicable with fair pricing. read more

When I came across a detailed Flyer, of their services and what cost for services they provide , I was excited to give them a try .

I sent them out on a few jobs , and received great reviews ,from not only my tenants but my owners !

Mr Robert and Mr Mario answer each service call , confirming receipt of details , they schedule accordingly arriving on time .

Honest, professional, knowledgeable, clean and in incredibly polite. I can't say enough good things about Robert and Mario of Original Craft. They have helped me on several of my properties and I will keep coming back. These are my go-to guys!!! read more

Under an extremely difficult time frame, on recommendation of another, I hired Original Craft to "make ready" a condo I had to get on the market ASAP. Robert and his partner were outstanding. They walked the unit with me and took notes on the "to-do" list; they scheduled it as I needed and kept true to their schedules. They didn't mind when I added an item or took away an item from the list. They completed on time and were very reasonable and fair as to their cost. And, they are gentlemen who look you in the eye and do what you need in an intelligent and skilled manner with good craftsmanship. I highly recommend them and will use them in the future. They know what they are doing. read more
