Hernandez Handyman

Found Oscar through Unilocal.Couldn’t be happier. Easily communicated via email and right on time.
I sent him my original issue which was a light replacement that confused me significantly. He emailed me back with how to do it instead of just coming out which I thought was very considerate. I still didn’t feel comfortable doing it so we arranged a time to come out and we replaced the light, swapped out a microwave and hung a piece of furniture in a couple of hours.
Definitely will work with him again on any future home needs. Highly recommend.

We had rain water leaked thru from one side of the walls on our house, I had called several handyman for the job and couple of them never returned my call, or they didn’t want to do the job. Finally, I found Oscar on Unilocal,he was great, he was on time, very friendly, very neat.
He did some caulking and repainted around the leaking area, hopefully that takes care of the problem. Oscar did a good job, definitely I will use him again. Thanks Oscar!

I reached out to Oscar and he went out of his way to help me with a few projects even when he told me he was completely booked for the next two weeks. I will be hiring him again. He was fast, clean and very professional.

As many others have said Oscar brings much to the table. I have used Oscar countless times for a commercial property I manage. From moving complex low voltage door access systems to painting Oscar does it all and with a great attitude. I highly recommend Oscar and hate the fact i have to share him with all of you lovely people :)
Thanks for all the hard work Oscar !!

Oscar is great! I had to get a mirror/​medicine cabinet thing installed in my bathroom and it was simple, quick and well done! Oscar is super nice and had some recommendations of different screws/​brackets to use so I was like, ‘yes I will go with your recommendation’ assuming he’d charge for those nicer more sturdy screws/​brackets but he included it in his rate that he initially stated. Great guy, and solid work. Only have hired one other handyman before but I will be going with Oscar from now on.

Oscar is a gem! He reviewed the photos of the broken ceiling light I emailed him and he suggested to me that he buy a low cost part in advance of the repair so that he wouldn’t have to leave during the repair/​installation. (He provided me with a receipt for the part in his invoice.) He arrived on time. Oscar is pleasant and professional. And, he charged me slightly more than half of what another outfit quoted me for the fairly basic repair. I’ll take that kind of savings –on top of excellent workmanship– any day. Thanks, Oscar!

I found Oscar via Unilocal.He was amazing! he installed my bay windows + curtains, a picture ledge, a frame and mirror in less than an hour. i just moved here from nyc and was looking for a reliable handyman – i will definitely call oscar next time! cannot recommend him enough.
he was timely, thoughtful and professional. his rate is $ 55 /​hr but definitely don’t forget to tip :).

Reliable service is difficult to find but Oscar handled everything in my house like a true professional. He not only fixed my door jam, windows, and changed some bulbs in my condo, he explained the reasons why it broke in the first place and how to prevent it from happening and other useful tips.
We communicated via e-​mail before his arrival and he was very responsive and helpful.
Now that I’ve found a good hairdresser, a good place to service my car, and a reliable handyman, my life feels so complete!

Oscar rocks! He can do anything — electrical, dealing with CAT5 wiring, adjusting windows, painting, you name it. He is really good — and also good at telling you when it’s more than he can do and you need a tradesman (painter, roofer, etc). He’s super professional, always on time, highly efficient, and very independent — just give him the list and it will be done. I highly recommend him!

WOW! Oscar is amazing. I had him and a different handyman work on my place recently and he was more efficient and did a better job on similar tasks.
I had a few tasks to do at my place, which I got a quote would take a few hours. Oscar had everything done in half the time. Some of the tasks I thought would be more time consuming, but he finished them in about the same amount of time it took me to unhook old roman blinds and unwrap a new set.
He is very responsive and accommodating. Since he is this good, he gets booked up. I can’t wait to work with him again.

Oscar helped me out with several small projects around my house. Oscar arrived on time and was really polite and friendly. He was totally patient and listened when I explained what I needed to have repaired. He had all of the necessary hardware with him, and completed the jobs within a totally reasonable amount of time. How awesome to FINALLY have those little jobs done!!! Yes, you might have to call him a few times, but he’s totally worth it. Thanks, Oscar!

I have been looking for Oscar for over 20 years and I finally found him here. He started with a job that I paid two other ‘handy-​people’ to fix. They each spent a couple of hours working on a door to my yard that kept swelling to the point that I couldn’t open it. I contacted Oscar and he came by the next day and immediately figured out what the problem was, fixed it, and thanked *me* for contacting him. Now he’s working on a 2-​page list of jobs (some small and some not-​so) and is almost done. Oscar is a professional; he works quickly and thoroughly and he can do most everything ‘house.’ He referred me to others for two jobs out of his area. He’s also a family man; how sweet. Oscar is the whole package, and I look forward to working with him for years to come.
PS: Oscar is much cuter than his picture.

Extremely happy with Oscar. He replied to my enquiry within hours and offered me several time-​slots the same week. He arrived dot on time, carried out the work competently, and is a nice guy. Would thoroughly recommend!

I have hired Oscar multiple times over the past year, to fix all kinds of things around the house. He is so capable and very very efficient. I’ve hired other handymen who lolly-​gagged around and in the end didn’t do such great work. Oscar is head and shoulders above the rest!
The first time I hired Oscar, I gave him a long punch list. Having gotten used to lollygagger handymen in the past, I expected him to take all day. When I checked in on him about an hour later, I was amazed to find he’d already gotten through half my punch list. I couldn’t believe it! And the quality of the work was superb.
Since then, I’ve hired him every few months for various projects, and I’m always so impressed with his work. He does carpentry, plumbing, electrical, painting — you name it! He is also very honest, clean, and conscientious. Because of his track record, he has gotten very very busy and that is the only downside. I have referred him to several friends who are equally happy with his work. I may be shooting myself in the foot referring him, because he gets busier and busier by the day it seems, but he deserves all the work that’s coming to him.

Oscar came and helped us with a wide variety of work from the simple (installing towel bars) to the more complex (replacing fixtures, sink faucets). I cannot recommend him highly enough.
He is prompt, technologically current (emails, texts, tracks all his hours electronically, etc) is conscientious (took his shoes off when he came into our apartment, patient with our curious young daughter), and most importantly he is extremely capable. I will continue to use him and expect to tackle bigger and bigger projects with him.
If you need a reliable handyman for the big and small jobs, Oscar is a great choice!

Oscar really helped us out! We had a few small things that needed repair: clogged sink, loose faucet, bent window screen frame, and a clothes dryer on strike. I called or emailed about 5 other handy-​people I found on Unilocal.They all said they wouldn’t go the work. I think cuz it was too small potatoes for them. Oscar got back to me within a day of leaving him a voice mail and scheduled over email. We needed a weekend appt and he scheduled us for the next Saturday, showed on time and got the work done within the hour, just like he said. We’ll definitely call Oscar again!

Oscar is the real deal. We had a time-​sensitive project that he was able to finish in less the time than we thought (on a Saturday, no less).
He’s professional, punctual, good at communicating, works quickly, and charges a fair price. Highly recommended.

I hired Oscar to do a few random things in my kitchen. He was friendly, on time, and his rates are very reasonable. He is highly recommended. He is now my go-​to guy for all my handyman needs.

Hired Oscar for a job to install a new vent fan in my downstairs bathroom. It seems he just dropped the job after initially providing a quote. There was no follow up, despite my wife and I continually reaching out to him via phone and email. I thought he would be reliable based upon the other Unilocal reviews and he was definitely not. I am searching for another handyman now to complete this job. I was not impressed with Oscar at all.

Oscar came on time and installed my TV for me. He had to go to the store to get the hardware he needed, but did not charge me for it.
He is a nice guy and I would have him back to my house to do projects I don’t trust myself to do.
