Alva’s Handyman

About Alva’s Handyman

Alva’s Handyman is a handyman service serving Oakland, CA. It has been in business for 16 years. Handyman work covers the small repairs and installs that pile up around a house but rarely justify calling a specialty trade. A single visit often bundles several items, such as patching a wall, rehanging a door, and mounting a shelf, so the homeowner clears a whole list in one trip instead of scheduling several.

Common requests for handyman work include drywall patching, hanging shelves and mirrors, baseboard and trim touch-ups, fixing sticky drawers and caulking tubs and sinks. Alva’s Handyman is also listed for cabinet installation, door repair, furniture assembly and garbage disposal repair.

Moving in, preparing a home for sale, or getting ready for holiday guests often surfaces loose fixtures, scuffed walls, dripping caulk lines, and doors that stick. List every task in one message with a photo of each item, so the visit can be planned properly and the right materials brought along on the first trip. Travel distance, the complexity of each job, and whether a task needs a second trip for special-order parts are the main drivers behind a handyman quote.

Customers in Oakland and nearby areas such as Castro Valley, San Leandro and Moraga can request a quote. Posted hours are Monday to Saturday. Accepted payment methods include Cash, Check, Venmo and Zelle. To get started, send Alva’s Handyman a request on Fixerlane with the details of your project.
