Home Services reviews in San Jose, California

We had an incredible experience with Penglin Landscaping from design to build! They handled our complete yard renovation—removing large trees, installing pavers and steps, adding a pergola, lighting, plants, and turf.

Prem and Kevin were exceptional throughout the entire process. They prioritized our needs and worked collaboratively to bring every detail of our vision to life. Whenever we requested changes or flagged concerns, they were responsive and addressed everything promptly. Their consultative approach made all the difference.

The crew was professional and efficient, the pricing was fair, and there were no unexpected change orders. If you're looking for a reliable team for your outdoor project, I highly recommend Penglin Landscaping!

We recently had our entire property landscaped, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, the team was a joy to work with—always reliable, punctual, and incredibly easygoing. Kevin and Prem offered thoughtful, expert advice on both planting and paver selections, helping us choose materials and species that look beautiful and will thrive in our climate. They welcomed our questions and were always amicable to making adjustments, focusing on small details to ensure everything turned out just right.

One aspect that really impressed us was how they managed the shared fence. They worked directly with our neighbor to ensure the fence replacement met everyone’s preferences and that the neighbor’s plants were carefully protected. That level of communication and consideration made the whole project feel cooperative and stress-free.

Our new backyard water feature is the perfect finishing touch, and the team went above and beyond to make it happen. They spent significant time perfecting the installation and were transparent when we encountered hiccups due to space constraints, offering smart solutions and adjusting the design without compromising our vision. The end result is exactly what we had hoped for—if not better.

Overall, we couldn’t recommend this landscape contractor more highly. They’ve delivered a beautiful space while making the process smooth and enjoyable. Thank you, Kevin and Prem, for transforming our yard into something we’ll cherish for years to come!

I recently hired Penglin for a backyard renovation, and I’m really satisfied and happy with the results.

The quality of their work is excellent. They transformed my backyard into a beautiful and functional space that my family and I can enjoy. They completed the work fast but not compromising the quality!

Every detail was addressed, they made sure to incorporate all my comments and suggestions and were always willing to make adjustments to meet my needs.

Overall, Penglin provided excellent service, and I highly recommend them for renovation projects. My backyard looks amazing, and it’s all thanks to their hard work and dedication.

Thanks Kevin and Prem!!

Best place to call

Has a behavior issue; not a nice person to communicate.

Thank you Fred you did excellent work

Very dependable & high quality work!

Very bad experience he bought materials and also his own tools in our account and asked us to pay n shouted tat he cant do it if we dont pay pls dont go to this guy money minded guy.

Fredy was professional, courteous, and on-time. I highly recommend him.

I have used Freddy many times...He does outstanding work and saved me thousands in solutions...FANTASTIC work

Terrible customer service! Beee careful he will come at you with spy glasses and record every interaction he has with you. Do not trust this person!!

Tried to discuss hiring him and he hung up on me when I told him I have a credit card over the phone. Oh well…anyone have any handyman recs?

Update: had I not been hung up on and if he would have let me finish my sentence I could have told him there is a credit card on site as well as checks.

Freddy installed a kitchen faucet for me. He was on time, professional and completed his work quickly. I would recommend.

Fredy was awesome. He showed up on time to help us fix the locks to our house. Very friendly and knowledgable!

Terrible customer service. If I could give negative 5 stars, I would! Makes you send pictures. Won't even come to look at the problems & give an estimate. Tells me to order all replacement parts in advance to replace an entire bathroom when all I need is to replace a shower valve.

Too lazy to even come assess the problem so how would he even know what needs replacing??? At least talk to the customer and treat them like a real person rather than just texting and telling them to order all kinds of stuff before even coming to give an estimate. Terrible customer service. Rude attitude. Ridiculous requests. Waste of time!

I'll keep looking for a real handyman, one that actually cares.

I engaged Fredy on two occasions. The first was to restore a shower door whose rollers were deteriorated. Fredy knew exactly what to do. The 2nd was to help me with a roof rat problem -- he helped me to place traps in hard-to-reach places. This is ongoing, but so far I am satisfied. His fees are very reasonable.

Freddy and his team are highly professional. He is thorough, knowledgeable, and conscientious. I'm so glad to have him as a resource.

Fredy Handyman is a professional handyman of many trades with fair price and reliable. He performed the following eight (8) tasks: (1) Replaced bathtub & shower door guide (2) Replaced Window AC carbon filter (3) Duct inspection (4) Fixed leaking duct collar (5) Sealed ceiling holes due to prior smoke detectors (6) Set rat traps in attic (7) Filled gaps in all roof corners (8) Repaired fence door from scratching ground cement. I will definitely use him again with referral to friends.

Excellent work. Fredy is very professional, trustworthy and his rates are reasonable. We have been very satisfied with all his plumbing work. We highly recommend him.

I am giving a 5 star to Fredy. He was in time to replace my toilet. He did a very good job. He also replace my bathroom facet which was leaking. I will absolutely recommend him. In the future I will use him again to remodel my bathroom.

I’ve called Fredy for multiple jobs now and I refer him to all my friends and family. He is always on time and very reliable. I appreciate his hard work and honesty. I highly recommend fredy for anything.
