We have used Robert the Handyman a couple times. He and his team were great! He was prompt with his quotes, always on time, great with clean up, offered fair and reasonable pricing, and was honest and down to earth. We'd hire him again in a heartbeat. read more

I'm so glad that we haired Robert. I was looking for someone who can come to fix the garage door frame and repair the broken stucco for us. I called several handymen, no one has the experiences about it. My neighbor just changed their garage door frame by a garage door company last year, but they do not fix the stucco and won't do the painting. Robert was willing to do the job, and gave me a reasonable price. All materials and paintings included. He came on the fist day to fixed everything, and finished the job on the next day. He was efficient and did a high quality job. I'm impressive about the beautiful outcome. Thanks Robert! read more

About two years ago, I needed some small projects done around the house. I called him and left a message. He called me back about 2-3 weeks later and left a message stating that he was out of town, on vacation and was back. Fine. About three weeks late for me and I found somebody else instead. Understandable. About 2.5 weeks ago, I called and left a message for some projects needed around the house again. I still haven't heard back from him. Coincidence? I think not. read more

I used Robert Services before in the past. Just as Christmas approaches I found out my toilet leaked as well as my kitchen faucet I wasn't in the mood to be replacing things at the end of the year however it was a necessity I contacted him and managed to get to work within one day. Another added Advantage for him is that lives in the town close by. . Due to his earlier commitment until the day he came later that evening and replaced the toilet in the faucet. Great job and I plan to use him later. read more

Robert the Handyman is my brand spanking new Rent-A-Husband! I'm famous for fixing things myself, but I have this horrible habit of not reading directions -- I just plow ahead until I mess something up, and THEN that's when I read the directions, so I basically need to *fix* my fix. It's infuriating. I'm retiring my role with being the angry know-it-all, well ... in this instance. So searching Yelp around the Newark area to seek out a Rent-A-Husband -- I came across Robert. Boy, he is one stop shopping! He replaced a drip seal on the bottom of our shower doors, fixed our toilet, and cleared out a downspout that I was sure needed to be replaced. Soon I'm going to have him replace the weatherstripping, remove the popcorn from our ceilings, and install a new door lock. He is quick with returning calls, his prices are good (doesn't take credit cards, so have cash)! I appreciate that he communicates well, he is the kind of guy that under promises and over delivers. We have been very happy with all he has done! read more

No call, no show I contacted Robert early in the week and asked if he could come bid a list of items at my mothers home before it goes on the market. I let him know I would be at the property Thursday and Friday, and he agreed via text that he would either come by Thursday or call to rearrange the time for Friday. Well here we are 11:57 PM on Thursday. I never heard from him, waited at the property until 8 PM (I live 60 miles away), and he never responded to my text. I guess it's time to call another service. He missed out on THOUSANDS in immediate work. Oh well... read more

Roberto was really nice and and he gave us estimates without any pressure or coercing. He did a great job on my old house as we were getting it ready to sell it. He finished the job quickly and at a great price, I would definitely recommend him anytime read more

I was looking for a contractor with reasonable prices and who would do the job promised on time and do it well. Robert goes above and beyond with his integrity, kindness, and honesty. If he can't do something or doesn't think it's a good idea, he'll tell you, but there's not much he can't do! Robert and his guys worked at our house on various jobs for a little over a week. They always showed up when they promised and Robert always made sure that he and his guys did a good job and cleaned up after themselves. We're moving soon and if we need any work done on our new place, we know who we'll be calling. read more

Robert is the man you want for the job you need. We recently bought a home and decided to "DIY" the project; until we faced "technical difficulties." So we decided to call Robert and get a quote. It didn't take too long to get a good feeling about his knowledge and expertise. After we decided to contract Robert for the job without hesitation he showed up at our front door on a major Holiday. Throughout the job he was always prompt on timing, up front, genuine and most importantly did not leave our job scene until he had fully communicated and delivered the job as promised and to our expectations/satisfaction. Awesome job and thanks for all the other tips you gave us Robert. I would definitely use Robert's service for future projects. read more

Called the number twice. With virus knew things may not be right time. Said i had small job but other things too. Not a call back. No customer service to say sorry cant do job, nothing. See no reason why anyone would want to use them. read more

We have a very good experience with Robert. He was right on time according to our schedule. He has provided very good suggestion and tips for many many small home improvements. He first gave us estimated costs ,but he never forced us to go for it. He allowed us sometime to decide which fits to our schedule and budget. He painted our kitchen cabinets. He brought some samples ,we picked our color and result was so awesome. His work was very nice ,neat and clean.. He reviewed after his teammates finished their work ,that's really nice about him. We will be working with him for some more work in coming weeks. I highly recommend him, Thank you so much Robert and your team. read more

Hired Robert The handyman to fix up a lot of dents and dings on the house that we had been renting for about 6 years. We gave him a list of about a dozen items and received a quote of $800 for everything which was incredibly reasonable since it took a good eight hours 8 to 10 hours to complete the list. Robert was thorough, professional and very courteous. He completed each item on the list in and the work was flawless on each one. We even hired him to come back and take everything left over after the movie, pretty much a full garage and a bunch of pieces in the backyard. He hired a truck and another person to help and took everything to the dump. The price was $700 which again was very reasonable for the amount of work. He even emailed us pictures about the house and the backyard proving that everything had been cleared out. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him or hire him again for any handyman work in the Bay Area. read more

This review is long overdue. Robert and his team are amazing! We have used Robert and his team for a complete demo and remodel of our master bath and kitchen in our old home before selling. He also took care of all the repairs around the house like leaking faucets, cracked tiles, cracks in ceiling drywall and painting, even our irrigation valves and pipes. We've had him re-tile our bathroom, change out flooring, and some drywall work from a water leak in our new home. We could not be happier with his work! Robert is very busy and is working multiple projects at once, but still manages to fit us into his schedule when we need him. His work is definitely worth the wait and he does it all! read more

I had a positive experience 4 years ago about installing a microwave oven. However, recently I left a message about repairing for the garage door jambs and never got any call back. As a result, I've removed my previous 5-star rating and replaced it with this review. read more

We moved to Newark and want to repaint our kitchen, bathroom cabinets, attach handles to all the cabinets and handyman jobs like patching works inside and outside the house etc. We contacted like 12 handyman companies and was worried about the expenses they quoted. We contacted Robert who came immediately and saw the house . He gave the best and comparatively the least amount as the quotation. They are only 4 guys Sugar, Robert , Alex and one more guy. All of them were so friendly and trustworthy. They dint disturb our regular life. Used our patio to do all the painting jobs. Professional, experienced and customer friendly. On the top they are perfect in keeping time. They completed the work in three days. I definitely recommend them. read more

After ignoring the squeaking noise from my bedroom's closet door every time I open it, for half a year, I decided it's time to change them. I went on Yelp to see if there were any good handyman near my home and found Robert. He dropped by my home and gave us a quote for the closet door and for some other things. The quote he gave us seems reasonable so we hired him. After all the repairs were done, I felt like we did a major renovation. Everything was so clean and functional. I'll definitely give Robert a call if we have other things that needs to be fixed. read more

Our tenant moved out of our rental and I had Robert come over and repaint the place and fix the laundry area's bifold door. He installed a brand new track for it and now the doors finally can stay up and won't come off track. He also help us replaced some really old closet bi-folds with brand new sliding doors. I mentioned to him that the ceiling fan/light was broken and we would like to replace it. Instead of just taking it down, he actually made it work and didn't charge us. What a great guy! Robert is fast and does a great job and reasonably priced. I will definitely use him again for any handyman needs. read more

Robert is awesome. he even showed up at 730pm! Charged me a very generous price to fix the toilet and put up a light fixture. Just remember to have to equipment ready before he comes. 5 star!! read more

We contacted Robert to get our Driveway and backyard motion sensors lights replaced and he did an outstanding job at a very reasonable price. He made time for us on the same day, despite his busy schedule and completed his work. There was a loose contact of wires for the backyard light and I reached out to Robert asking him if he could come on the following day. He surprised us by completing the job on the same day in this biting cold weather. That to me shows commitment and passion for the job. I would recommend Robert the Handyman absolutely :) for his commitment, quality of work and flexibility read more

Robert assisted me with my home pre-sale. I needed interior and exterior painting, various repairs including interior floors, bathroom fixtures and garden fencing. He was able to do everything and did it all with honesty, integrity and commitment. He also made sure to point out anything extra that needed to be fixed in order for my house to be inspection ready. I would highly recommend him! read more

It's been a long pending review. We got our kitchen remodeled by Robert and his team. He did an amazing job. He infact got us a great deal in the material. His labor pricing was very reasonable and he did lot of extra stuff to make his work show good. He benefited me in transportation of the material from the warehouse, taking the granite to a cutter, got it cut. His work made our remodeled kitchen great! I hired him a year later to add a bathroom. He did a great work again. He did the floor tiling, wall tiling, installed the fixtures, door and the painting. Did a great work. In all, would definitely recommend him for this good work, he is a very nice person to hire, very helpful, friendly, reasonable pricing. read more

Robert is probably the best handyman my wife and I have worked with in 20 years of owning our home. Always prompt, always professional, and the work is always top rate. His prices are always competitive with the current industry and always insure that we are satisfied before payment. He had a wealth of knowledge with the majority of jobs we have done with him. I would truly recommend his service. read more

6 of our electric outlets in the kitchen went out 3 months ago, not tripped by the electric circuit. We had waited for our previous "trusted" electrician who installed our recess lights a few years ago that resulted in the no-call-no show and won't even answer his phone. My brother suggested Robert as he previously had done work at his house. After another month of unable to get an appointment from our previous electrician, I call Robert for a consultation. Over the phone, Robert went over some basic troubleshooting tips with me. Once all the due diligence was done, he determined he needed to assess the issue in person. Robert told me up front that he was fully booked up, but kindly dropped by to see what the problem was. And within 15 minutes, he determined that GFCI was the issues after assessing all the electric outlets. He exchanged an extra GFCI outlet that he had in his truck, and also switched out two of the new USB outlets that I purchased from Costco. Robert and his co-worker worked quickly and efficiently together, and what I appreciate the most is that Robert double-checked all his helper's work and he was very good in explaining the problem and future preventions, such as not overloading the GFCI circuit. Robert's price was fair, and we wished that we had called Robert sooner. read more

My landlord hired Robert to fix a door and fix my dryer. He did them both in a matter of an hour and did an awesome job! My landlord then hired him again to fix my upstairs tub because there was leakage into my downstairs TV room. Robert fixed the tub and then came downstairs and replaced the cut out hole in the ceiling that was left by another contractor. Robert is the real deal and he is good at everything. His prices are reasonable and his work is superb. To add to his good qualities, he is also a very nice guy with a sense of humor. I'm glad he came to my house and I will call him for any repairs or remodeling needs around my house and I will refer him to all of my friends and family! If you hire Robert, you will not be disappointed. DThomas read more

I had a very negative experience with this handyman. I had him over to do repairs but all he wanted to do was TALK. He was very pushy with his religion which I do not think is appropriate in the workplace. He wanted to buy my husbands motorcycle and took it but did not pay till I tracked him down over a year later! I left a review about my experience to warn people and he was threatened and responded aggressively with a made-up story to try and discredit me. This is how a bully reacts to a woman he is afraid of, he attacks her for being "hysterical." He said I had "many emotional outbursts when he tried to work at my house" and that he "was not a counselor" What a joke. This is how he deals with an unhappy customer, NOT very professional. You don't deal with a business issue by threatening your clients and you don't deal with debt by running away. I would still warn any woman alone to be very careful around this guy. He sure tried to take advantage of me. read more

Robert and his team did a wonderful job of us in our bathroom. We had an old bath tube with shower that was poorly made and sealed. Water had gotten into the dry wall and mildew made stains. Robert took out all the old rotten materials. Repaired or replaced needed pumbing. Cleaned up the stains and tub. Installed a quartz shell with shelving-- All within threedays. This was at a moderate cost. His manner was professional and I felt comfortable with his honest approach. He explained every step he had to take to do the job we wanted. I would ( and will ) hire him again. read more

Talk about a greedy person. I guess it wasn't enough to make $225/hr but Robert wanted to make $300/hr. Read on for what happened. I've used Yelped often but haven't written a review for a long time until I was compelled to again today. I contacted Robert last Saturday and he was kind enough to stop by apartment I had just rented out to fix a few things. He came by around 1PM on Saturday to take a look at the problems and while there fixed a deadbolt issue for us for free. I really thought I had found a great handyman who was responsive and easy to work with. Yesterday he calls me as I had forgotten to call him about coming to fix the issues which are cutting a total of 7 boards to size for the shelfs we had in the kitchen pantry and the bathroom mirror cabinet as well as fixing a stuck shower valve. All together he had quoted me $225 which I had thought was way too expensive but I wanted to get the issues resolved as my tenant was already in my unit. I knew this job wouldn't take more than an hour. Today he headed over to the apartment and addressed all the issues. After he was done he called me to tell me I needed to pay him an extra $75. He was at the apartment and I didn't want to have an argument in the presence of my tenant so we agreed that he would come to pick up his check from me. I called my tenant after a while to make sure Robert had left and asked my tenant how long he was there for. He was there for a little more than an hour and also was gone for 20 min to get something from the store. When he came to my office, I asked him why are you charging me $75 more and he said because he had fixed something that wasn't on the list of things to do which was aligning the cabinet doors below the bathroom sink and that he had bought some part. He claimed that my tenant had asked him to do that and my tenant told me he had pointed it out and fixed it for us. I didn't know handymen make over $200 an hour. This guy is a rip off artist and do not work with him. read more

Robert should be called "Super Handyman"! I contacted Robert to fix a bathroom leak job. He was prompt and gave spot on assessments of the problem. After the problem was fixed, I decided to have the bathroom redone: new shower/door, new counter top/cabinet, and new tiles. Robert recommended some vendors for the shower/door and counter top/cabinet materials. He did a great job on redoing the infrastructure, the counter top/cabinet, the tiles, etc. He made sure that the shower/door vendor did a good job in their area. The remodeled bathroom looks beautiful! Robert also helped to fix a good numbers of things around the house that needed repairs: broken bathroom fans, toilet problem, kitchen faucet problem, little electrical problems. I highly recommend Robert -- he does great quality job, provides great customer service, and is very trustworthy. read more

Robert recently remodeled our kitchen and we couldn't be happier. We had a plan of what we wanted to do and Robert turned our idea into reality. He and his crew came daily, worked hard, and got the job done quickly. At the end of each day Robert would go over what we will need for the next day. He also made sure everything was cleaned up before he left everyday as he was very conscious that we have kids. He always checked with us to make sure that we were happy and satisfied with the work as he would progress. His price was more than fair and he did everything he promised to do. We will be remodeling other rooms in our house in the future and there is no question who we will call to do the work. Robert is the best and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to remodel. read more

Robert and his helper did a great job fixing a hole in our bathroom floor created by water damage. He started the very afternoon that he came by to give an estimate.

Where do I even start? First of all the whole kitchen remodel was my wife's idea. The first guy that came flat out said it couldn't be done for various reasons and didn't seem to be too excited at the prospect of doing the job. My persistent wife contacted Robert to see if he might be able to do the job. Robert came by with a positive attitude, a great price and was hired. Robert and his crew would come over on the designated days and worked all day. They always cleaned up after themselves, showed respect to us and our property and were always concerned as to whether we thought things were progressing well. We had a lot of debris from the job and Robert even saw to it that it was all cleaned up and he hauled away. Our remodel took about two months but that was due to the fact we had to wait for our cabinets to arrive after being ordered from Home Depot. There are many construction services available but as far as I'm concerned there is only one, Robert The Handyman! I will use him as often as I can. His honesty, work ethic, attention to detail is as good as it gets. My wife and I marvel daily at how beautiful and large our kitchen now is. I would hire Robert again in a heartbeat and actually already have! read more

I had Robert switch out some light fixtures and a ceiling fan. He was friendly, punctual, and his prices were very reasonable. I'd highly recommend him for home repairs or home remodels! Thanks for your help Robert! read more

Our shower faucet broke and was searching for a handyman. I found him on yelp and gave him a call. Robert came the same day and fixed our faucet. What I thought was going to be a quick fix actually took a lot longer as our shower was really old. After fixing it, it was like brand new! He did a great job and has excellent customer service. Very reliable and would recommend Robert. Wil definitely use him again ! read more

Robert is solid -- we hired him to do a significant amount of work on our home and he did consistently good work. He is very careful and thorough with his estimates, and while not an absolute perfectionist, he has high standards for his work and offers honest advice. He managed to come up with a couple of creative suggestions and was always clear with his communication. Only downside is he sometimes needed a little prodding to finish on time, but in the world of home improvement/general contractors, this is pretty much par for the course. read more

Called one day, appeared same day. Quote for repair of post box on target. Repaired next day. Gave 20% tip for time.

His prices were very reasonable and once he committed his work dates to us, he was prompt in showing up on time, doing the work and cleaning it up. At the end of it all our house looks "beauuuutiful" I will hire Robert for any future work. read more
