Reviews
We really liked Eddie at first and he seemed very professional. Unfortunately, he took $1200 from us to order “supplies” but he never did the project. It’s been three months. :/
Eddie and his team are amazing! He communicated throughout the process and was flexible with our needs, particularly when my wife didn't like how the color we chose looked & maneuvering around 2 kittens. He let us know when they would be there, who would be at the house at each phase, and if there were any particular additional items needed for the project. His entire team is personable and friendly. When we had questions or my wife wanted to talk, they accommodated without skipping a beat. We highly recommend Eddie for your Handyman needs and have already hired him for our next project.
Eddie was my point of contact. He was very good with communication and him and his team worked very hard. We had them remove popcorn ceiling, smooth out the ceiling and put in recessed lighting. They worked hard and do a great job! Photos before with popcorn and textured ceiling with boob lights. Second set are a smooth ceiling with recessed lighting. Quality work for a good price and in a prompt timeline
Eddie is a man who is trying to hustle and obtain a better life for himself and his family. He will likely give you the lowest quote, but this is a classic example of “you get what you pay for.” He is nice and means well but unfortunately, his drive to make money results in taking several short cuts and failed acknowledgements of tasks that are outside of his expertise and ability to manage. We hired Eddie to renovate two bathrooms in our house. We were under the assumption that he would be the one managing the project. This turned out to not be the case. What he did was hire workers from Tijuana with unknown experience. Our project suffered from floor and shower tile that was not laid straight. The first time we brought the issue up to him, he proceeded to gas light us and say “it was because of the tile we chose” and “that’s just how it is.” We had repeated errors where things like the plumbing, tiling, etc would be installed incorrectly. We had two major plumbing issues arise, where we were left unable to use either shower for over a week. Once because the worker Eddie hired clogged the toilet (and left obvious skid marks to show it). The other time because he installed the plumbing in the new vanity incorrectly, resulting in sewer water backlogging into the sink and not draining down (also for over a week). The vanity was also installed too low and not according to code. We purchased all supplies ahead of time (including the grout, schluters, etc). The schluters were never installed and unfortunately by the time we got home, the tiles were already installed in a way where they would have to be completely re-done to install the schluters in place. Every time we brought up a question or issue (i.e. what color grout he would recommend), Eddie would either not have the answer or make it seem like “that’s how it is supposed to be installed” and gaslight us. At the beginning when we questioned why we were only seeing the employee and never Eddie - he responded that his employee does "the demo" and he himself does the finish work. See attached photos of said "finish work." We were asked to pay weekly for his services instead of at the end, which disincentivized quality and timely work. We were asked by Eddie's employee several times if the tile was okay when it was clearly not flat. Eddie was nowhere to be found. His employees send him videos/photos at the end of the day, but he himself would not actually be on-site. Even when we complained about the service numerous times, he did not stop by until we demanded he take a look. Even when he did, he did not know how to do the work either. Additionally - we ended up being the ones to actually paint the cabinets in one of our bathrooms. Despite the fact that we paid to have this done. I am not sure where these positive reviews are coming from. Our experience was quite negative. On the positive - Eddie did agree to pay for the plumber we chose (since we did not trust his plumber), so again we do not think he is a bad guy. Unfortunately, when we had a licensed contractor come by to double check the work (mostly for safety and to ensure everything was up to code), there were many issues again that were pointed out to us. When we contacted Eddie about the cost of repairs needed to fix his employee’s work, he initially said he would cover the cost. It has now been nearly over a year, with frequent follow-up reminders from us, and he has still not paid us for any of these repairs. Photos attached of the "finished work" with some captions. These are just some examples, many more but reached the max number of attachments. Please keep in mind- for each time they had to re-do the tiling, we paid for the cost of the new tiles as well.
We signed the contract on Dec. 10, 2024. All I asked him to do was flooring, stain cabinets and entrance door plus pick up trash after completion. I need this job to be done ASAP. By Jan. 11, 2025, none was completed! I questioned myself, I watched the modification everyday and how can this still incomplete after a month. I think is the money. I cooperated him totally during the construction. He asked me for the money when Eddie “finish” a job ( there’s always loose ends). He also asked for money to buy sanding papers to start staining work. The flooring on majority areas (not the details edges) done, money to pay workers. Then, he started to back up after he knows there not much balance left. I would have to finish his unfinished tasks. There’s go my budget. My advice for signing a contract with him is pay him nothing after the deposit and specify completion date. Try to get some security by charging a penalty if not completing work by the deadline.
Eddie did an excellent job and is a very good communicator. Hard worker and exceptional work. Highest recommendation!
Eddie was awesome!! From the moment I reached out to him, he was extremely communicative, coming by to do a quote and working with me to make sure my goals and budget were achieved. He also worked within our time frame which was pretty major for us. He brought by some helpers different days and everyone was so kind and friendly! He provided updates when we were out of town. We love the end result! I couldn't have been happier hiring him. He was also a really kind person and I felt as though I could trust him here in our home whether we were here or not. He even checked out my car when I mentioned it needed to go in for work and when I had another small project he snapped a picture and reached out to one of his buddies to see if he could help. Thank you Eddie! I would recommend him and hire him back 💯!
Eddie was very clear on our expectations and volunteered alternative suggestions that helped have a better quality and visual product. The final outcome is warm and inviting. He has a great team and everyone did a great job. He said what he did and then did what he said. We will hire Eddie again when work is needed around the houses. Simply put! Our house looks nicer today than when we purchased it 22 years ago.
Eddie and his team did a fantastic job remodeling my condo. He consistently kept me informed from start to finish. He used his experience to help me make decisions that would best fit my budget while giving my place a top of the line lock. His attention to detail and customer satisfaction are just some of the reasons why I highly recommend Eddie and his team at Valadez handyman service. His team handle flooring, painting, plumbing, electrical,I never needed to call anyone else!
Valdez did such an amazing job and was on top of all his responsibilities. Was punctual and attention to detail was superb. I highly recommend him and will keep his number for future jobs.
