Needed front door jam repaired with new lock and handle/door knob. The Response Team kept communication lines open, was able to come next day. After securing needed supplies, Ed did OUTSTANDING Work. The door fit better than ever, entry is like new. Price was on the high side, but once completed was well worthI highly recommend TRT for any/all door related fixes or repairs! I will gladly call them again when a need arises. read more

Ted worked hard for six straight hours extracting an old ac unit, installing a new one, and sealing the wall on both sides. I was very impressed with his work ethic and skill, and highly recommend him. read more

Ted is an over achiever! We needed our retaining wall to be fixed before it starts raining and he finished it with calculation and smart engineering. Also he ended up fixing it so that it would match our house color. Ted also went to the roof and fixed our existing gutters and added gutters and engineering a good water route plan. He also started fixing cement cracks that caused mold in our car port, and fixed all the deteriorating stucco around the house. He did so much masonry around our problem areas that I can definitely feel better when our storm season hits. He doesn't skip corners and makes sure that we get the most value out of our budget! I have projects already waiting for him. Hes personable and easy to communicate with and comes to your house with a good mood. read more

I've worked with Ted in the past and it's been great. However this time I hired him to add some networking and Ethernet ports to my house and it did not go well. Not only did he not give me the cost upfront, it was very expensive, one of the ports does not work. I've repeatedly attempted to contact him to fix the issue with no answer. I'm extremely disappointed, especially with how much I paid. Way overpriced for the service that was given. I do not recommend this place if you want networking/Ethernet put into your home!!! Hire a low voltage technician instead. read more

This company rewired my ceiling fans to the correct switches and installed a couple wall outlets including one that was gfci. He also installed and put together a brand new bladed ceiling fan for my bedroom. He was done for the day and took time to install a toto washlet as well. I could have done it myself but he just helped me out since it was a quick job. The price was reasonable and fair. It was not super cheap but it was not overly expensive either. I would call again for my handyman needs. read more

Ted saved my bacon AND didn't make me feel stupid for not being as self-sufficient when I couldn't muscle or tool-out a fused outdoor umbrella stand post that was loose and I couldn't get off. Rusted solid, top and bottom. I had used WD-40, a sawzall, a bolt splitter, and even screwed into the cleft of the nut where it meets the bolt and sprayed in more WD-40 to loosen it up. I was out of energy AND power tools, and so put up a quote here on Yelp. He contacted me almost immediately, said he could come over within a few hours, texted me when he was leaving previous site, texted me when he got here, got right to it, removed the collar, bolt and nuts in no time (but I was relieved to see it was muscle work for him, too, so I wasn't a weakling...entirely). Can't thank Ted enough, and would recommend to others without hesitation. read more

Had Ted come out to do some ceiling fan repair work and I could not be happier with his professionalism, reasonable price and

I called to troubleshoot a hall light that refused to work even after changing out the the light switch and light fixture. The guy showed up within 2 hours, figured out the issue (a short circuit), and $400 & 20 minutes later, I had a working hall light again. The guy was courteous, pleasant to chat with, and clearly knew his stuff. read more

Although I didn't end up needing service. Huge thanks to the gentleman who answered the phone on a Sunday to talk through my situation and work with me on an urgent appt request. Will definitely reach back out when the time comes. Being responsive, friendly and caring is so important when trusting someone with your home. Keep up the great work! read more

I called on Ted Felix's handyman services twice this past week. The first was to fix a broken kitchen drawer guide (after being turned down by a number of cabinet installers who I guess don't take small jobs). Ted made quick work of the task and left telling me to call him if I had any further problems. A few days later, I called on Ted to help me get a couple of bidets installed on my toilets. I had attempted one of them but discovered that the supply valve still dripped water despite closing it as tightly as I could. Ted recommended replacing the toilet valve, so I asked him to replace the toilet valves in all 3 bathrooms. While he was at it, he also fixed the sink stopper in my powder room, and replaced the hoses to my washing machine because it had been 5 years since they were replaced. Ted is polite, friendly, and was quick to respond to my text messages (responding within a few minutes). Thus far, I've been very happy with his work and customer service. read more

The Response Team - Broken kitchen drawer guide bracket. - Handyman Near Me

Words cannot express how glad I am to have found Ted. The outlet I use for my entertainment system in my living room has been giving me problems for about a year by shorting out every time it's touched. I called Ted on a Saturday, his day off, and without hesitation, he asked for my address and came within 15 minutes. When he arrived, he was able to fix my electrical outlet however we did have a minor hiccup. When we thought everything was working again and went our separate ways, I noticed that there was an issue with my living room lights staying on even though the switches were off. I called Ted and he came back within 5 minutes and troubleshooted the issue with no problem. Ted will always find a way to fix something and I plan to return to him in the future with any issues because of his fair prices and his character. read more

Ted is a consummate professional and offers excellent customer service. He accommodated all of my family's requests in a timely manner and was also very friendly. read more

Great guy. Very knowledgeable. Called for a full pipe clog / garbage disposal clog. He explained why it happened & how he was going to fix it. Got the job done quick. read more

I'd definitely not recommend this guy. The initial interaction was okay. He showed up and checked out the work on time. After checking it out, he'd said he'd check out material costs and get back with an estimate. Instead of doing that, he texts me two days later saying he's free and if he could do the job immediately, which was fine with me. At this point, it becomes apparent he didn't check out material costs since he was out shopping for the caulk and asks for photos (despite him already coming out to check out what I needed done). Didn't seem too bad, but I was busy in a meeting and snapped them hastily. At this point I ask the cost and he says $300 -- a bit expensive but whatever. He shows up a bit later and starts working. 2.5 hours later he informs me he's done. Job was a bit shoddy in the tiled shower, but I just wanted it caulked at this point and didn't say much. I was a bit irked also that he didn't test the caulk first to see if it matched the grout -- obviously it doesn't as seen in the pics. At this point he says the bathtub can be used in couple hours and the standing shower could be used 8 hours. He left behind the grey and clear caulks used in the shower which I ended up reading after he left. The clear one said an hour, but the grey caulking said don't use for 24 hours. Thought that was odd, but didn't think too much about it. Just to be safe, we waited 6 hrs before using the bathtub shower since we assumed he at least read that one correctly -- the pics show that it wasn't the case. The caulk started absorbing water and flaking off. I ended up texting him back the next day, and he seemed a bit standoffish about this, but said he'd come back later in the week. I texted a few days later and was ghosted. I'm going to need to re-do both at this point (3 months later) as he also caulked over old, moldy caulk in the standing shower. The new caulk already has mold/mildew seeping through. He also didn't redo all the caulk as asked. read more

Thank you for the quick response and advice! Will definitely be utilizing Ted's services as things may come up. -Chris read more

I'm very happy with Ted and his response time and work he did on our project. His reviews were very good, so his work performance lived up to what other people noted in their experience. Ted was able to reset a bathroom sink and do the plumbing repair necessary to get it functioning. Also, he reinstalled a light fixture for us and was able to find a way to set it even without some missing parts. He showed up on time, cleaned up after himself, and overall did a great job. He also listens to the coolest, most tranquil music you'll ever hear...haha. I'd use him again. Thanks Ted! read more

Ted was on time and ready to work. He installed an exterior heavy duty screen door and his work was good. He does all kinds of handyman jobs. We will use him again for other jobs. Straight up guy. read more

A circuit breaker goes out in one of our rentals in Signal Hill on Easter Sunday, and so I send feelers out on Yelp to see who is even available. Not looking good. Only half of the electrical expertise even work on Sundays (16). And only half of those will work during a pandemic (8). And half of those on Easter Sunday (4). Ted quoted half what the other guys quoted. He got there in 30 mins to pick up the dead circuit breaker, and then buys the right one at Home Depot. He pops it in, and he's done within the hour. The job was so quick that he lowered the price. He updated me on every step. Communication was excellent. When I received the invoice, I realized that Ted was the one who serviced the same unit for plumbing and window repair about a year prior. Needless to say, we look forward to working with him on all our other units in the area now. read more

I had an electrical short that melted the plug in the outlet. Ted was quick to respond and came on time as requested. He was great at explaining what needed to be fixed and why .. it's great that he also does handyman work and will be calling him anytime I need work done . Very professional and nice ! read more

Wow! Ted was very responsive when I initially contacted him. Scheduling was easy and all the work he did was done very well. He took the time to make certain that nothing leaked and made time to pick up necessary parts. Completely appreciate and recommend working with him. He will be on speed dial for me now. read more

Highly recommend Ted. I called him last week, and he immediately responded despite the fact it was late in the business day. He came out the next day, and he gave me a great quote and promptly completed the work efficiently and extremely effectively. He did electrical work; he repaired a side fence; he fixed a hall rail, he put covers over smoke detectors, etc. Some of these tasks were things I should be able to accomplish, but there wasn't any discernible judgment from Ted. Also, I think I'm out of the doghouse with my wife bc her list is done (for now). Lol. Thank you, Ted! read more

Mediocre work + dishonesty = not recommended Last month we had Ted from the Response team install a bathroom ventilation fan. He charged $250 labor and & $134 parts. What we got is a fan that is not properly sealed around the edges--causing moisture to leak into the attic, and a loose grill that is always at the risk of falling down. This is all because Ted didn't bother to modify the opening in the ceiling dry wall. See picture. Normally we would call Ted and ask him to come back and fix it. But we can't, because Ted also overcharged us for the parts. We asked him to purchase a $134 fan at Home Depot. But once at the store, he called to say that another unit was more suitable. We agreed, but at the end he still charged us $134. A later online search revealed that Home Depot's price for the unit he bought is $89, not $134. Ted pocketed the difference. Would you ask such a handyman back? Innocent mistake? I don't think so. When I later ask for the receipt through texting (which I should have done before he left, my bad), Ted first responded evasively, then went silent. In short, exercise extreme caution when dealing with the Response Team. Or better yet, don't deal with them at all! read more

I had a cabinet fall off in my garage, we called several people to get quotes and to get it fixed. After no shows and ghosting in communications from everyone else, Ted showed up to check out the job and give me a quote. He actually showed up when he said he would and did the job properly. I work in the crafts so I know when someone is BS'ing and he did the job with integrity not cutting corners. I would certainly use him again and most likely will as I have other projects in my house. We just had Ted come back and do some work in our house that we had been putting off since we bought it. Half of the recessed lighting in our kitchen didn't work, we had some light fixture we having in our entry and decorative pole in our living room that we didn't not like. Once again Ted showed up 15 minutes early each day, was polite and did the work right. We will be using him again for sure. read more

This company definitely lives up to its NAME as Ted was super responsive!!! Time was very important to me as my family and I just purchased a new property and needed to move in soon but there were many things in the home that needed to be fixed. I messaged them on Yelp and got a text and call right away. Ted came onsite to the property the next day: 1. Took down shelves above the refrigerator area that were in the way of being able to fit the newer type of refrigerators - He had to break down the whole thing and also cut them down with tools as the shelves were bolted in and then he finally clayed up the area and repainted to match the kitchen color and now it looks like nothing ever happened. 2. Grounded around 15 circuits or so in many of the bedrooms, bathrooms, and living room. 3. Changed/Replaced exposed wires under the kitchen sink 4. Changed the outdated outlet under the kitchen sink so it can be hooked up to most newer appliances. 5. Fixed the leak in the dishwasher - Water was leaking under our kitchen sink so it would've definitely eroded the wood and cost more money down the line if I didn't fix it soon. 6. Replaced the old wooden doors in my daughter's room and bathroom to full solid core wood doors so it better sound proofs the outside noise. He had to custom cut the doors to make them fit properly and painted them as well. 7. Replaced the sunroom door with a heavier solid core wood exterior door for obvious security reasons. Painted the door and also installed brand new security locks. 8. Installed new smart locks inside the house 9. Installed new smart double sided locks on the side gate. 10. Replaced the door hinge and bolted and reinforced my outer door that leads to the garbage cans - The door was drooping down due to termite damage, and just wear and tear over time, so it was a pain to have to get to the garbage cans as you had to pull up the heavy door each time. ALL that to say - Ted was simply AMAZING, RESPONSIVE, PROFESSIONAL and his pricing was HONEST AND FAIR and he is very versatile at his craft and can do lots of handyman jobs. He showed up on time, worked late until the job was finished and ultimately till I was happy and satisfied with everything. Everything you want in a handyman you get with Ted and then some. He is genuinely a good guy that wants to ultimately do a great job and make his clients happy. I would DEF recommend Ted to all my friends and family! Outstanding A+++ HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10 customer service Can't say enough seriously. I will definitely be having repeat business for sure. read more

I called the response team to do a variety of things in my garage. First, I had him install a tv on the wall using the wall unit I bought. Then, I asked him to move some shelves and stack them on top to give me more room in the garage. Lastly, I asked him to fix a small leak on the roof of the garage. He was able to fix/install everything in about an hour. My TV is in the perfect place at the perfect height and I watch it while working out. The shelves are now more functional and give me more space to park my car. And, the fix to the roof worked! It's raining pretty hard today and Irma completely dry in there now!! I would use his services again and would recommend him to others. His price was very reasonable. read more

The Response Team - Window without AC - Handyman Near Me

I needed a window A/C installed and a TV mounted. Ted was very responsive to all of my questions prior to scheduling a time. I always ask a ton of questions when using a new company because I've had some really bad experiences. Ted arrived at the scheduled time. He was able to mount the TV with no issue, but my window A/C was massive. Apparently, I purchased a 24000 BTU A/C in my desire to stay cool during our hot summers. Ted had to lift a very heavy A/C and did a wonderful job at installing. The only downfall which was completely my fault was that I needed a different outlet which Ted tried to do...he even went to Home Depot to get the right part, but the beast of an A/C required a dedicated circuit. I will definitely use this company again. It's difficult to find a good handyman and I actually found a great one! read more

Ted is amazing. He responded to my request quickly and came out to see what my issues were. He was very informative and knowledgeable. All of my issues were resolved quickly and we even added a couple more items for him to fix. Overall, he put in a new toilet pump, replaced my tub drain, snaked the tub and sink, fixed the sink stopper, and recaulked my tub. He even tightened the toilet seat for us lol. I will definitely be using him again. Thanks, Ted. read more

I had a great experience with The Response Team. Ted responded quickly and was able to fix my issues the same day. He fixed my pocket door which was off the hinges and caulked the small holes the door had. He re-screened, straightened the frame and put my screen back on for my sliding door to the backyard. He also did me the courtesy of cleaning my AC filter, popping back my window screen that had fallen off and returned when my pocket door popped out and taught us how to manage the door if it pops off and how to use it properly so it won't continue to give us issues. Yes seems reliable, reasonably priced and genuine. I would definitely recommend and I'll be calling The Response Team next time I need a home repair. Thanks, Ted! read more
