Barney's done a couple fix-it projects for me in our rental unit. He is reliable and professional. And the best part is I totally trust him when it comes to his quality and pricing. Thanks Barney!

I had reached out to multiple handymen on yelp and had a really hard time getting someone to help me out with my repairs.  I actually found Barney via a regular google search .  He was very responsive and very flexible with my schedule.  He did a great job and was very professional.  I would recommend Barney and hire him again.

Barney helped me learn how to fix the odd jobs around the house and was easy/flexible to coordinate with over email. He even came over on Sunday to accommodate my schedule!

Barney is a great find! He's an excellent handyman, and does great detailed work. He is prompt, personable, professional, and has perfect communication. He hung a bedroom door for me, created a door for the hot water heater cabinet, and moved the locking mechanism on the garage door. I will definitely use him in the future and highly recommend him. Thanks Barney! More...

I've heard from a couple of the people who left reviews of less than 5 stars. They tell me they hadn't intentionally reviewed me at all and have no idea why or how it happened. Seems like another Facebook issue. Hopefully those reviews will be modified or removed soon. More...

I don't think I can say enough thank you's to Barney and Marco for their help today. I had a list that kept on growing- and Barney is always so gracious and obliging he'll definitely help if he can. Both of them had previously come to our place to install a living room chandelier and bedroom ceiling-mounted fixtures. This time they had patio lights, more light fixtures and a large wall mirror to mount. They also offered to bring my king-size headboard (sitting in the lobby) up to my master bedroom (3rd floor, no elevator!), and proceeded to install it to our bed! Barney even made multiple trips to the nearby hardware store as I needed bulbs, and then bolts. They're very efficient and will always make sure they are gainfully occupied working separately or in coordination. They're both very good-natured and helpful, I'm eternally gratefully to have found them! More...

My wife and I utilized Barney's services while he was in the SF Bay Area. I wish he'd come back! Ever since he left, we've tried numerous individuals and none have Barney's knowledge, professionalism and friendliness. I'd highly recommend him and if he decides to come back to the Bay Area, he'd be the first person I'd work with. More...

Barney is an excellent handyman. He was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. And I thought his fee was fair. I had a couple of repair items related to a home inspection. Barney worked efficiently and took care of the work in an hour. I am very satisfied and would definitely use him again. I highly recommend him! More...

I have used several handyman services on Yelp, but Barney's is the best by far. Barney gets back to you promptly, he has worked to accommodate my busy full time work schedule. And he was prompt and efficient in getting work done. He has done electrical work, general household repairs, minor plumbing, has taken care of landscape fountains, and even set up the Christmas tree!  Barney fixed a landscape lighting mess that a previous owner had created. He is a pleasure to work with. More...

Barney, how do I love thee? Hold on, let me turn on my AC with the remote from my couch! Barney was so professional and efficient. Fast, reliable and trustworthy. He came for an estimate and it was so reasonable and he was so knowledgeable, I decided to get part of the job done right there and then. I'm sitting here looking at my AC that has been on my living room floor for a year. It's FINALLY in the window and not a minute too soon! I look forward to more endeavors with this handyman. More...

When my family and I moved from Chicago to Berkeley, CA. we didn't know anyone.  We needed a handyman to help us with basics like mounting tv's, hiding the chords in the wall, putting up wall shelves, hanging bigger art work, and etc. I researched on sites such as yelp and Angie's list and he was top rated.  I reached out to Barney and he responded immediately.  Barney came and did all the projects asked and did them well.  He was polite and made me feel comfortable while he was working in the house.  He also was very friendly and welcoming to my toddlers admiring his work.  Overall, we felt Barney was trustworthy and had him come back for more basic work a second time.  And now we are having him come back again!  Barney is what every household needs- someone who can handle the basic maintenance jobs around the house.

I submitted a request for Barney's Handyman Services to fix a couple of maintenance issues and he delivered quality services in which I greatly appreciated.  I like the fact that when he was running a few minutes late, he still called to advise me which is a major plus on the customer service side.  When he arrived he offered a genuine smile and greeting. We actually had great conversation as he was working which was quite refreshing.  As a matter of fact, our conversation while doing is work did not slow him down.  He completed both task I asked him to fix with a bit of insight as to what the problems were and possible solutions if problems should arise again in the future.  Thanks Barney!  I appreciate your work ethics, your customer service, and honesty.  I will definitely be using your services again!

I hired Barney to install a TV mount in a tricky spot and he did a great job getting it centered in the shelf it's nestled in, and on the stud (trust me, that is NOT easy in my apartment). He is really nice, and his rates are very reasonable. Super easy, all-around great service. More...

The few times I've had him do work for me he's been really friendly. He always leaves the work space cleaner than when he started and he is someone I feel totally comfortable having in my home.

Q&As

I did my time in Corporate America but never loved it. In 2006 I tried to live my lifelong dream of being a commercial pilot. But when the economy crashed, after 18 months training in helicopters, with 90 hours flight time and straight A's, the school closed. It turned out to be a massive Ponzi Scheme. They kept the money of about 2500 students nationwide - around $175 million. So, that was that.

Having always loved and having a knack for fixing and building things, problem solving and helping people, and with the help of a friend in the business, in 2009 I decided to turn those abilities into a business. It's very rewarding and I love the variety of jobs, meeting new people and the fulfillment I get from helping people who don't have the time or inclination to complete those to-do lists that always come with home, business or rental property ownership. I'm proud and honored to have had many, many clients give me the keys to their houses when their to-do lists seemed to be endless.
