Company Overview

Prompt and trustworthy repairs throughout your residence or office. From door installations to flat screen TV setups, I manage electrical work, plumbing tasks, drywall, texturing, painting, and construction. I am equipped to repair or replace your fence, gate, or mailbox. Tile work, masonry, and fountain repairs are also within my expertise. No matter what it is, I can handle it.

We purchased a property in Thousand Oaks that demanded numerous repairs. I spent months remodeling and upgrading everything. It was enjoyable to see the transformation and the results of my efforts. Friends and family visited and appreciated the improvements, leading them to request my services. That's how my journey began, and I’ve collaborated with many skilled contractors and talented craftsmen along the way. In my 25 years in this field, I have gained extensive knowledge and continue to learn.

In 1998, I moved to Thousand Oaks and started my handyman business. I’ve dealt with nearly every area of these trades and have developed strong skills in most. I adhere to the business ethics I’ve consistently followed. Be honest, loyal, and fair in your dealings with others. Pick up the phone, call back promptly, arrive when you say you will, and back your work. Most importantly, always strive to deliver your best work.

Fred and his crew did a superb job of rebuilding our second story deck / balcony / patio cover. The finished product wowed us, easily exceeding our imaginations and expectations. To say we're pleased would be putting it mildly. Fred and his crew worked steadily and diligently each day to complete the project in a timely manner, and Fred is very easy to communicate with.
There's an old saying, ""You Get What You Pay For""... in our case I would say the price was reasonable and the results were exceptional! Without hesitation we would highly recommend Fred (TO Handyman) for any current or future project you need done!

Fred and team did a great job installing closet doors and repairing an outdoor structure. They were very responsive and able easily adapt as issues came up. Highly recommend!!

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+!

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.
