As time passed, we expanded into a complete home improvement service delivering a wide range of home improvement trades to address virtually any issue a property owner may face. Gary continues to be hands-on, overseeing all jobs that include quick fixes to overhauling an entire residence.

Gary started The Home Doctor in 1980 in Los Angeles after completing his technical education in high school and earning a business degree as he searched for a business that would enable him to combine both management and mechanical skills. He understood that a frequent issue of residents is the challenge of finding trustworthy service providers who are organized, respectful, experienced, and trustworthy. Our company was the ideal solution and has flourished since we opened our doors.

Gary Abrams has been my go-to professional fix-it person for years. I have found him to always be professional, efficient, honest, knowledgeable
and kind. He definitely knows what he is talking about in terms or repair services, and goes above and beyond to provide the best level of care to suit your needs. He will do his best to help you help yourself so that you don't need to incur repair costs. I cannot recommend him more highly.

Gary The Home Doctor has been serving me well since 1998 and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone. He's always my first call whenever there's anything in or around my house that needs a fix. Everyone, to the person, that he's sent to my home has been a skilled craftsman who I trust in my home. Over the years, I've marveled at how Gary finds so many kind, talented, and helpful people. There was the guy who installed my garage door and asked if he could take my clunky old wooden one so he and his friends could use the wood at an orphanage they support in Mexico. And the housepainter who's so meticulous, always excited to see my cats, and so personable that I think of him as a friend! (He's worked on my house four times now, inside and out!). And the guy who Gary found to build me a catio (outdoor cat enclosure), who knocked it out of the park with help from the young apprentice he brought along, even though neither had heard of a catio before. And of course, my favorite is the sweetheart of a guy and jack-of-all trades who comes out most often - even at 9 PM from the other side of town to board up my window after my house was broken into and ransacked - because he can fix absolutely anything. Literally, anything. All this to say, Gary and everyone on his professional team are top notch. I give the Home Doctor an unreserved and complete two thumbs up.

As a realtor I have to be confident of the contractor I recommend. Recently my client wanted to list her home for lease and the home needed a lot of work. I gave her Gary's contact information. She choose to go with Gary because of his knowledge and his ability to fix anything in the house. She needed someone she could call on since she did not live locally. If Gary can't do the actual work he will find someone who can and his sources are also the best at what they do. He will work with your budget to find solutions. He is a man of many talents!

If you want fast, quality work, Gary Abrams and his Home Doctor Team have high standards and are reliable. We have used him repeatedly to repair our home. He is friendly, professional, and stands out from others in his field. His pricing is fair, and we give him the highest rating.

Gary & his team solve every problem we have. Whatever goes wrong in our house/yard he has an expert guy he's worked with for years and trusts to get the job done correctly. Big and small jobs. We've worked with Gary for 5+ years. Super prompt and professional. Lifesaver! In fact probably a marriage saver too!

I have used The Home Doctor over the years to hang pictures, install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, change light bulbs, install sensor lighting and replace an old mailbox with a new one. Gary responds quickly to any inquiry (he prefers a telephone call or a text) and his workman, Roy, is able to fix just about anything. In addition, both are very nice to deal with and trustworthy.

Any time ANYTHING goes wrong at our 125 year old home, I immediately call contractor Gary Abrams, the Home Doctor. He sends the best expert for any home repair job from appliance breakdowns to plumbing to electrical to tech to paint, etc etc, indoor and outdoor.
He is a consummate professional, extremely responsive, and a genuinely nice guy.

He has worked with us for about 18 years and we have never had a complaint. We rely on him, and he always comes through.

Gary is remarkable. It is SO rare to work with people that are beyond communicative, kind AND gets the job done when they say they're going to. His team is just as fantastic! I would recommend The Home Doctor to EVERYONE. They truly are one of a kind.
