the owner ghosted us after skipping an appointment AWOL. His helpers are nice and efficient, but I wouldn't recommend this business.Responding to owner comment: Invoice #450 for the first set of services. We spoke about doing a bunch of additional work but he just vanished.

Reached to Fred's company concerning a problem with our front door. It was getting increasingly difficult to open and close especially during wet and cold weather. Fred was courteous and came the next day with his assistant. They replaced the hinges and removed the rot between the bottom of the door and the shoe. The charge was reasonable too.

Fred and his team did a fabulous job replacing two rotted "faux" beam ends that were mounted above our front picture window. They could have bondo-patched the rotten wood areas and slapped paint on them but they did it the right way, removing both rotted beam ends and then cutting and mounting brand new pieces. They patched the stucco and came back after drying for a few days and painted the beams (white) and stucco (light grey). Look's like a brand-new house again! Fred stuck to his original labor+mat'ls quote, showed up on time and cleaned up after each visit. These guys are A+!

I usually don't post negative reviews. However, with Fred constantly trying to defend his lack of communication when we've decided to go with another business is beyond me. Fred, you did not explain your policy or set expectations. Next time be mindful of what you are doing. Maybe you were multitasking or maybe you're just having a bad day. For you to continue with my with is out of order if you and I have already spoken. Please contact me or leave it alone. Luckily for you, we can't post your communication exchange on this. Be well, Fred.

Horrible experience book a appointment time for 12pm by 12:30pm I reached out to find out if someone would be filling the order for service was met with rude unprofessional condescending tone. I tried reaching out prior to posting this review the gentleman was still dismissive and rude to my husband.DO NOT GO WITH THIS COMPANY save yourself the time and headache.

As a property manager we hire vendors but have requirements they must be licensed, bonded and insured. Unfortunately, we have not had very good luck with the handyman in this area. We do have many vendors that are just the absolute best and my clients do treat them well by giving a Christmas Bonus every year to say thank you for their service and for always being able to work with us and fulfilling large and small requirements.I tried to explain to Fred that I had a situation where the last handyman we had, just found that his other clients were more important because ours was a smaller job, but Fred assured me that he could handle this small job. When we walked the home and I pointed out to Fred what was required, there were a few small details that we went over that I had not written on the list and Fred assured me with "don't worry I'll take care of everything". I pointed out that there was no sides to where the microwave was and he did a fantastic job creating the cabinetry, but neglected to paint the opening under the microwave. He also pointed out to me, I had not even noticed that the slider screen had been ripped, but again assured me "don't worry I'll take care of it." In our meeting we discussed small touch up painting here and there not a ton. I showed him the paint in the garage and he said there seemed to be enough. However, after the job was done and he became very persnipity and rude when I asked why some of the items he had told me "don't worry I'll take care of it", were not done. As an example, his reasoning for not doing the screen was "I don't do screens". Well then why waste my time and not tell me that? I noticed in one room that I didn't even ask for touch up, he had touched up and the paint did not even come close to matching. I never mentioned to Fred because before this he was just so down right rude, texting me 6 or 7 times to find out where his check was. Now mind you, we are a corporation and I personally offered Fred references from our other vendors that we have and have had for years, he said "No you mailing me a check is fine". However after I asked why items were left undone his attitude completely changed and he demanded I leave his check at the property for him to pick up and he would leave the key. He also made a point to tell me that he now had a "BIG Job" and couldn't finish anything else.Over all, I would say his work was meh, ok. His attitude was as others have said in their reviews quite a bit full of himself and his rude behavior was absolutely uncalled for. He wasted a week of my time and my clients time and now I have to find someone to do a small paint job and completely paint one room because the touch up was horrendous. I have been a property manager for my clients for years now and we have had some fantastic vendors but T.O. Handyman is not one I would keep on my list of vendors unfortunately. Bottom line if you don't really expect much from a handyman and with our history of handyman in the Conejo Valley area I don't expect much, but truly hope to find one that is appreciative to have work and would really like to be on our certified list of vendors to work with us on our rental properties in this area, because Fred would not meet our requirements.I'm sure he will continue his work in the Conejo Valley with others, however, I hope that he learns to have a more cordial attitude toward people, is more honest about handling and following through with job requirements and learns how to remember items he says "don't worry, I will handle it". What should have been a one day 8 hour job (as per Fred), he extended to a week and the job was not even complete so I am now looking for another handyman/painter to finish and had to hire a screen company to come out and fix the screen.

I contacted several handyman and Fred was the first to respond. I had a bad leak in the kitchen and needed it fixed as soon as possible. He was very busy but he squeezed me in and came in a couple of days. He came on time, was very easy to talk to and deal with, he did a good job quickly. Very pleased with Fred and Jose and their service. Will use them again when I need any repairs.
