Top Cat Home Repairs

This is a review that I should’ve written a few months ago, but life got in the way… still I wasn’t going to forget to write one for Tom’s great work and great customer service.
Tom fixed my treadmill by replacing the belt and motor. When I called him about the repair, he was very helpful with providing me with suggestions on where to purchase the necessary parts for a reasonable price; he also was very nice with working with my work schedule to come by for the repair. When Tom came by, he was on-​time, polite and humorous. He couldn’t get the job done the first day because I was sent the wrong size motor belt, but Tom compromised and made arrangements with me again to finalize the project. Tom took his time and made sure that he had done the job right and to my satisfaction. I was pleased and that is why I did not forget to write this review months later. THANKS AGAIN TOM!!!

Very rude. Contacted him for assembling my furniture. Asked him if he can go slightly lower, and weekday is an option. He said low balling is not ok esp after NORMAL (used caps) working hours. I casually asked, but this was his first response. If he told me weekday after hours won’t work, I would have worked with him to figure out an alternate time. If he told me politely, he can’t go lower than the quote he gave me, I would not ask for a lower rate. Super impolite. I definitely don’t recommend him.

Tom from Top Cat Home repairs is amazing guy. He is very straightforward and clear and gives the clear information. He does not fool you and provide the correct information about the project. Today I had called him for my kitchen cabinet replacement and he gave the honest suggestions about how to do it and he also gave me some sealing caulk and gun for free.
I recommend him for all his handyman jobs.

I called Tom up for my treadmill repair. He is professional, very easy to work with and does a great job. He gave us few tips as well on the Tread mill maintenance. He is a great handyman and I would highly recommend him. Tom, this Ahmed from Sunnyvale, CA :)

My tenants had hired Tom to fix some wall damage. Matching the wall texture can be tricky. I have looked at walls where there was an obvious patch because the texture didn’t match. I was really happy to see his texturing was a very good match to the original. I have hired Tom a few times now and he has consistently given me a good result. He does great work, is on-​time, communicates well and does a great job cleaning up at the end of the job. I know I will have more work for Tom in the future.

We got recessed lighting done recently and had to patch a few holes in our ceiling and texture them.
I called Tom and sent him a picture of how the ceiling looked. He was quick to respond and explained in detail the work that was required and provided a reasonable quote.
We setup a time to him and he showed up at the decided time. His work was impeccable and he left no mess afterwards. The job was done perfectly and as expected. The texture work matched with the existing texture and we can’t tell the difference.
He was kind enough to explain each step of the process and always made sure I understood everything that was going on.
Would definitely recommend him!

Tom is a great guy and very helpful. Flexible schedule; showed up on-​time; fix my kitchen faucet in 30 min. Unfortunately, I didn’t get all the parts before he showed up so we went shopping. Didn’t charge me for OT. When the job is done, he left me no mess to clean up.
I know who to call next time when I need fixes around the house!

I have a Proform EKG 770 treadmill given by family friends that just didn’t work after plugging in to power socket. I called few treadmill repairs and as expected, they all charge $ 99 visiting fee. I was very sure its a minor issue. Then I called Tom after reading up Unilocal reviews.
Tom also charges $ 99 visiting fee, but if its a minor issue, he wanted to save me that cost. He asked me to send pictures of treadmill console and a small 10second video. Then he gave couple of suggestions over phone on how to fix it. That’s it. Treadmill started working. No charge. Very rare to see so honest people these days.
Will definitely call for future home repair needs.

What can I say? The guy knows his treadmills. He was patient while I ordered the right part for my machine.
He was really helpful and is an honest guy. I definitely would recommend him to any of my friends. Thanks Tom!

I was looking for someone to assemble a Marcy home gym, and Tomas Castro’s name came up. After reading the other reviews, I felt he was the right guy for the job. I called him on Wednesday evening, and he came over the next morning. He spent 5 – 6 hours assembling the gym. Tomas did a fantastic, quality job and I’d recommend him to anyone!

WE had an appointment for Tom to come out and do an estimate at 3:30 pm today, but he never showed up or bothered to call. This is NOT professional to me. Sad to say, but all the 5 stars he got will be affect by his lack on professionalism in this case!

Tom Castro is a great, honest handyman! I called Tom based on the Unilocal reviews and he didn’t let me down. We have an HOA gym that we needed some treadmills, elliptical, and bikes tuned up. We had received quotes from Club Care to get the treadmills working again… but it would have been cheaper to buy new ones. Tom to the rescue! Tom looked over all the equipment in the gym, was very honest with the repairs that were necessary, provided a web site to order the necessary parts, and will be coming back to finish once the parts arrive. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and provided plenty of advice for keeping the gym running well. I would highly recommend Tom to anyone that is looking to have gym equipment put together or maintained.

Tom Castro is excellent! I have referred him to many of my clients and I see that they are still calling on his services for their home repairs several years later. Often when I stop in to say hi to a friend or client, Tom will happen to be there working, too! Absolutely trustworthy.

I’ve hired Top Cat Home Repairs for numerous home projects, ranging from installing cabinets, a sink and dishwasher, to minor home repairs. Tom Castro is my go-​to guy for anything that needs to be fixed or replaced! He’s prompt, reasonably priced, reliable and fun to have around. He’s happy to come over just to handle some annoying little repair job (like a gate that won’t latch), and will go shop for the parts needed to take on the job. He even noticed my bike sitting with a flat tire and mentioned that he does bike tune up and repairs. He took it away, fixed it up like new and returned it the next day. How’s that for service! Just put together a list of all the things around the house that you’ve been meaning to get to, give Tom a call, and relax while he gets your home in order.
