Handyman for North Oakland?
Looking for a reliable handyman to do some chores around the house and yard. For example, we just moved in and need someone to hang curtain rods (A job that I hate doing and never get them right!). We are not interested in a contract service like Honeyhomes…

I have used Rob Kanter as a handyperson for more than twenty years and now most of my friends and acquaintances use him as well. He uses the business name "Odd Job Rob" but only for the alliteration. He does far more than odd jobs - can repair/adjust/install just about anything. He lives in Emeryville. The fastest way to reach him is (510) 595-9239. You can also email him at oddjobr [at] yahoo.com. Tell him Judy in El Cerrito referred you.
I recommended our handyman Selvin here in great detail last January:

We still think he’s just as great a year and a half later :) His phone number is (650) 281-6739.
