Juan and his team did a great job on my front yard fence - they took into account exactly what I was looking for, made sure that it fit with my house and the rest of the neighborhood, but would also keep my little dog safely inside the fence. They worked quickly and were very detail oriented, and the price was fair. I would highly recommend them for any project - I am very satisfied. Edit: He has also recently (2025) built a deck in front of my house, replacing the old one. The work was very high quality and he communicated well about the design, timing, and price. It was done very quickly and has added a lot to the look and function of the space.

We have had the pleasure of working with this company for a few different projects, and we've been very pleased with the results. They have always taken the time to get it right, and we'll continue to use them in the future.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Handyman Rodriguez. Juan and his crew were my superheroes this year. I had started a project to remove the aluminum siding and restore my house's original siding with another company and was given the run around for months. As a result, I was left with a house exterior in a state of disrepair and a yard full of trash and wasn't really sure what to do. When I called Juan, I wasn't sure that it was even possible that the project would ever get done before winter. However, when Juan came and looked at what had already been done, he reassured me that he would be able to do all the repairs and get the siding prepped, primed and painted before it got too cold. He estimated it would take 3 1/2 weeks. Juan and his crew were able start quickly and they worked long, hard days, but it got done right on time and I LOVE it. Juan was able to make my home look exactly like I had hoped and I really cannot thank him enough because I know fitting this project in at this time of year was probably difficult. I would absolutely recommend Handyman Rodriguez. Juan and his crew are hard working, skilled, charge a reasonable price for their work, and most importantly, Juan is trustworthy and follows through. I plan to call Juan for any future projects.

Juan and his crew are very professional and completed a number of projects from Yard clean up, installing new shingles on the roof, external & interior doors as well as painting all of the inside of my home in under two weeks, helping me get it ready to sell and put on the market. I Highly recommend him and his team and their responses to my questions during this process! I will be using his services again in the future.

Called on Monday to get a quote on some home repairs, man that answered said to text him the address -- which I did and said he would be here at 4:30. No Show. Finally on Wednesday texted again to ask if he was interested in giving me a quote and if not, I would appreciated being told. I received no response. I would not recommend!!

Mr. Rodriguez and his crew installed a privacy fence in my yard and did some landscaping. Words cannot describe what an awesome job they did! Both my fence and landscaping look wonderful; I have received so many compliments. They were very professional and polite. They didn't leave a mess when they were finished; cleaned up very well when they were finished. I will be using them again for other home projects! Thanks Juan!

Juan and his Crew were great! They put up a beautiful fence in 2 days and were accommodating with our 2 dogs! They put up part of the fence and left the old one standing, so we could still let our dogs out, until the completed the fence! Worked efficiently and didnt leave a mess when they were done! Weve already asked him to do some more work inside our house!

I wish I could say I used this business, but, after three no-show's, avoiding my calls and texts, they ultimately didn't work out. Their work looks great; it's truly a shame. I wonder if they're one of those kinds of businesses that say yes to everything but prioritize a better offer or something that's worth their time more. Who knows.

Would not hire or recommend. They came out to the house for a few different projects. They are hard to get a hold of and don't respond in a timely manner. After fixing our roof as part of an inspection report to sell our house the roof started leaking in the areas they supposedly fixed. They said it was our fault??? We tried to contact them to discuss how it was going to get fixed AGAIN and they won't return phone calls or text messages. They can now contact our lawyer.

My dog is happy and there are no gaps for him to get out!!!! I would highly recommend using Rodriguez for any remodeling, decks, fencing, roofing, drywall and Im sure any other projects that you may have.

For 2 months now, they keep promising to do work for me. At first it was not a rush but now with winter approaching, I would like to get it done. I always get the same response - I will be over tomorrow and I have been as patient as one could be. I won't trust him to do any work for me and I will be spreading the news!

Juan was professional, flexible, affable and thorough. He was also affordable. His crew was awesome too. The large landscaping job was completed the way I wanted it and I couldn't be happier. If you have work to be done, Juan is the proffesional to hire for peace of mind and beautiful results. 10 out of 10. Highest recommendation.
