Floors, paint, drywall, bathrooms, doors and the small stuff for Downey homes.
Yes, I serve Downey. I'm Raul Ibarra, a family-owned handyman based in Buena Park since 2011, and Downey is about 20 minutes from my house. Text me a photo of the job and I'll tell you what it needs and what it costs.
Downey homes are a bit larger than the typical mid-century tract, especially in North Downey, and many have been added onto. The work is floors that run through old and new rooms, paint, drywall where additions meet original walls, doors and bathrooms.
Downey is about 20 minutes from me. I take floors, paint, drywall, doors, bathroom refreshes and punch lists there. Text me a photo and I'll give you a written number.
Most common jobs here: floors through additions, interior and exterior paint, drywall and texture matching, door and trim work, bathroom refreshes.
Most Downey homes I see still have carpet over the original floor. I pull it, prep the subfloor, lay vinyl plank or laminate, and finish with new baseboard so the room is done in one job.
More about vinyl plank and laminate flooring in Downey →Downey's older homes usually need prep before paint: patching, sanding, caulking, sometimes wallpaper or popcorn removal. I do all of it, then two coats with lines cut by hand. Exteriors get washed, patched and primed before color.
More about house painting in Downey →Holes, cracks and water damage in Downey homes get patched, textured to match what's there, and painted so you can't find the repair. Popcorn ceilings scraped and retextured. Stucco patched outside.
More about drywall repair in Downey →Original Downey bathrooms from that era are small and tired. New tile floor, vanity, mirror, light, wainscot or paint, and fresh baseboard, usually in a few days, without gutting it to the studs.
More about bathroom remodel in Downey →Openings in older Downey homes are rarely square. I shim and fit new interior doors, bifolds and French doors so they close right, replace casing and baseboard, and fix the doors that stick.
More about door installation in Downey →Keyless locks, mailboxes, TV mounts, shelving, smoke detectors, holiday lights, furniture assembly. Send me the list for your Downey home and I'll quote the whole thing for one visit.

My property had a water leak issue, and after the plumber fixed it, I needed someone to patch the drywall and repaint the area. I found Raul through Yelp. From the very beginning, Raul was extremely responsive. After I contacted him, he quickly arranged a time to come by, inspect the damage, and…

Stephen L.Great service, and affordable. Raul and Tim really helped us out. Replaced a garage door, and some holes we had in our walls. Took care of us. Would recommend and will use them again in the future.

It depends on the job, so I don't quote blind. I come look (free), give you one written number that covers labor, materials and cleanup, and that's the price you pay unless the scope changes. Several reviews mention I came in best of three bids.
