History

Established in 2011.

First of all, Free Estimates. I created my business during the recession after the job market for me at the time was not secure to find steady work. I thought why not list myself because I have alway been very good at fixing whatever I came across. Now that I have been doing this for several years now I have quite a list of satisfied customers and can provide references when needed.

Business Owner

Hello everyone my name is Jeremy Leo. Ever since I was a kid, I have always worked with my hands. From when I was 7 and started building detailed plastic models of cars and airplanes, to working with my grandfather in his wood shop or helping him in the yard, hands on, detailed, quality work has always been a part of my life. In high school, shop class was always part of my day. Wood shop to metal shop to tech shop, I was signed up. When I bought my first car I couldn’t wait to get the chance to start modifying it, all through books or the lessons from friends. I have worked many years in construction trade with business specializing in new construction, re models, home repairs, maintenance, bathrooms, kitchens and also shop work. The past 26 years has taught me so much and given me the time to refine my skills and experience to take on and complete quality work with integrity and attention to detail.

I hired Jeremy to install a bathroom vanity and countertop, sink and faucet. When I saw the great job he did on that I purchased a new toilet which he installed just as beautifully as the rest. I called many many handymen who didn’t have vanity installation in their skill set! So happy to find him.
He’s personally nice, and respectful of your property. You can trust him alone in your home. He likes animals, a plus for us with our dog who was willing to get in his way at every turn!
Besides his skill, he was meticulous, and very efficient. What you think is going to be more expensive turns out to be less than you thought because he is so efficient.
For communication, I first filled out his online form and didn’t know if it went through. I texted him and found this this to be a great communication venue, as well as email. He’s in my address book now.
It is true you do have to schedule a couple of weeks out, but that was not an issue for us.

Jeremy is the best! He is honest, smart, professional, and does very good work. We had about a dozen things for him to do in our new home and he did a wonderful job on each and every item. We had to install a vintage curved shower rod and we were concerned it wouldn’t fit and he made it work and look great. We had him put in a new screen door on our slider, install towel hooks that were carefully spaced and level, hang picture frames, change all the door nobs, put in door stoppers, install smoke detectors, change the shower head, and fix our wobbly furniture.
In fact he was so good that we had him come back a few days later and put together our massive outdoor grill.
He has all of his own equipment and depending on what you need done, he will ask you to buy the fixtures etc. that you want installed etc. in advance so that they are ready to go when he arrives to do the work.
He is best responsive by text message and he gets in touch with you within the day. He is courteous and he is going to be on our speed dial. We highly recommend him especially because he charges a fair hourly rate.

I could not have been happier with Jeremy’s carpentry work. He is skilled, efficient, careful, cheerful, courteous, and attentive to the small details that make everything look nicer. Other estimates I received for this project were twice as much as Jeremy charged me, and I doubt that anyone else could have been more sensitive about customizing everything so that it came out exactly as I had hoped. I will certainly call him with any future projects!

Jeremy is an outstanding, honest and skilled handyman. We have used him for multiple projects ranging from shelves, painting, furniture fixes, bathroom work, etc. each time his work has been very good and we will continue to use him for all of our fix it needs. Definitely recommend.

I had a leaky toilet that defeated all my efforts. I was planning on just replacing the whole thing but he told me ‘not necessary’. Fixed in under an hour. Saved me hundreds of bucks.
Jeremy will be the first I call for any future fixit projects. Thanks amigo!

Jeremy’s business name suits him perfectly, as you never have to contact anyone else to fix what’s supposed to be fixed in the first place! We’ve been given so much run around by other contractors /​handymen that we’ve procrastinated on our bathroom being repaired out of frustration and repeated disappointing results, until one day I gathered up whatever energy and strength I had left to look for help. And we know we’ve found him!
Jeremy is professional, honest, very pleasant, and most importantly — reliable! He knows his stuff! He is meticulous with his work, and I love that he responds to my emails, texts, or calls quickly (that is SO important!). Please don’t y’all call Jeremy all at once… we still have a few things we need him to do at our home! ;-)

Well, I there is negative star, we would have selected it.
Jeremy turns out to be a huge disappointment.
We contacted his business in August, more than a month ago, for concrete repair. He came for an inspection and gave us an estimation, then schedule for work 2 weeks out. So far so good. On the agreed work day, he called and said he can’t make it. Ok, we rescheduled for another two weeks, no complaint; we understand things crop up. Tomorrow supposed to be the re-​scheduled work day, he told us the final cost could be double of his estimate!
Yes, we are two women, but we are no chop livers. We refused to be played and strong armed into paying whatever. A deal is a deal. It is extremely unprofessional and untrust worthy to be stringing us out to get more money.
Watch out for this guy!
The following is a response to Jeremy’s comment:
Let the customers wait for four weeks, then tell them the cost could be double as your original estimate is just not how professionals do business. If you make a mistake, you don’t bill it to your customer. It is your mistake, not the customer’s fault.
I have talked to a few other handymen about this concrete repair job after this fallout, right from the start, everyone of them mentioned needing re-​bar in order to make the concrete durable and all of them factors it into their estimate. Jeremy’s original estimate, without re-​bar, was not particularly low.
We are moving on with this project because we have found a handyman, who has completed the job at a lower cost.

We used Jeremy to take care of a few miscellaneous jobs around the house. He installed 2 bathroom faucets, 1 kitchen faucet, patched and painted some large holes in our drywall, and mounted a 50″ TV on a bedroom wall. Jeremy did an excellent job and we are very happy with how the jobs turned out. Jeremy was courteous, thorough, and very tidy (huge plus for that). We could tell that he took a lot of pride in his work and we appreciated that. We will be using Jeremy in the future for other jobs around the house.

Jeremy is AMAZING.
He’s done work for our company here in Berkeley and every time he does something for us, it has always been quality top of the line work.
He really takes his time to make sure things are done right and he takes the time to explain the way he’ll do the work. He’s open to suggestions but he’ll definitely tell you what will and won’t work. He’s really good with getting things done in a timely manner and if you don’t happen to have any parts/​tools that you’ll need, no need to worry he basically has it.
He’s always good with trying to see if he can work around your schedule and he’s come through for us time and time again.
I definitely recommend using him!

Jeremy is great. I will use him again.
My projects were small, almost simplistic, but because reaching high, screwing things in, and hanging stuff was involved I couldn’t perform the tasks by myself.
When I first called Jeremy, I was anxious. I needed help right away. Of the three handy-​people I sent an SOS to, Jeremy was the first to reply — and early in the morning. I was really struck by how carefully he listened to me and followed the list I gave him. I was further impressed when a twist developed. Jeremy thought through the problem and solved it with little to no direction from me. (A seemingly simple task became more complex.)
Within 30 minutes, Jeremy was on his way. I paid him for a full hour, though because (a) most folks have a one-​hour minimum; (b) he accommodated my time-​line; © I was grateful for his help, his competence, his intelligence, and his delightful attitude; and, (d) I hope to have him do other things for me.
I like that Jeremy called me shortly before we were supposed to meet, to say that he was on his way and give me an ETA. The only reason that I’m giving him 4 stars is that he showed up ten or 15 minutes later than that; and that, in turn, crunched me a bit going into a meeting. Really, what I wanted to give Jeremy was a 4.75. I just couldn’t figure out how to do that.
Keep up the good work, Jeremy!

Jeremy rocks! I was referred to Jeremy by one of my clients. Not only have I used him for my own projects but I have also used him on several of my client projects. Jeremy does wonderful work. He’s honest and will tell you if the work is in his «wheelhouse» or out. He works efficiently, is pleasant, and professional, and is fairly priced. My clients love him and they have subsequently used him again and again. I am pretty picky about who I work with and Jeremy meets all of my standards by far. Thank you, Jeremy. I really appreciate all that you do.

Needed some flashing done on my roof. Called and left message but no one ever called me back. Called second time and no one picked up, so I just gave my business to another handyman that cares for its customers.

I had 2 broken windows so I called Final Fix Handyman. Jeremy was very professional. He showed up on time. Quick to reply my emails and flexible with my schedule. He did a great job, nice attention to details! Not cheap but not too expensive either. He seems to be a very honest and reliable professional. He takes credit card (square), which is also very convenient. Overall, a great experience and will call him for my next home improvement projects. Thx!

I traded a few emails with Mr. Leo and initially he was quite responsive. We set up an appointment for him to come in between 9 – 10:00 on a Thursday morning. He called shortly after 9:00 saying he was backed up and could we reschedule for later that day between 4 – 5:00 p.m. Ok, so it shoots my day, but at least he called and I understand that things happen.
However, 4, 5 and 6:00 p.m. came and went with nobody showing up and no call. I called and left him a voicemail Friday morning asking him if I had misunderstood the agreed upon rescheduled time. Radio Silence! No call; no email.
While he was initially responsive, his follow through with me was lacking, to say the least. Not what I expect someone who makes their living in any service industry.

I bought a window air conditioner to replace an ancient monster that no longer worked well. It wasn’t a simple installation and required a skilled carpenter. I called several places but Final Fix Handyman was the only business that could come the next day.
From the first phone call to the finished service, Jeremy was incredibly professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He even came with his own vacuum to clean the area before he started and before he left! His prices are more than reasonable and his service was really a lifesaver for me (as the next day was to be the beginning of a heatwave).
If I ever have another project I plan to call Final Fix Handyman. Thanks again Jeremy!

Jeremy was terrific to work with. I contacted him for a quote about fixing a shelf in my living room, and he responded right away with an accurate and very reasonable estimate, as well as possible appointment times that worked with my schedule. As for the work itself: not only did he do a terrific job, but he was great about being careful in my home and explaining the problem and the solution to the issue with the shelf.
Overall I’m extremely happy with Jeremy’s work, his professionalism, and his hourly rate. I’d definitely hire him again, and I’d definitely recommend him to others.

Excellent job.
I called Mr. Leo to fix a fairly large gap between the garage door and the ground. It was not an easy task as the ground slopes horizontally and the gap was only on one side of the door. He showed amazing ingenuity and solid adeptness for complex carpentry work. Looks great!
His hourly rate was shockingly reasonable. We will keep his card handy.

Jeremy Leo has helped us install our new microwave and he did a great job. He was very professional and he also cleaned up after wards which wasn’t necessary at all. I have other projects that needs to be done and I’m going to use him again. I highly recommend Jeremy.

Final Fix Handyman helped me earlier this year when I needed to construct one of those cool photo booth walls for a networking party. I bought all of the materials, explained my vision to Jeremy, who then got back to me with a handy diagram of exactly what I had described to him. He works fast and efficiently and has amazing craftsman and showmanship. I was super impressed with my finished product. The fabric that I asked him to affix to my photo wall was fitted and tight with no wrinkles. It’s awesome to hand off a project and get it back in tip top condition. I’m impressed with Final Fix Handyman and all the variety of services he offers from general contracting to carpentry and even car maintenance. I give it a double thumbs up!
