“The Home Doctor has served my family for all our needs. Their recommendations have been flawless, with every team member he provided to handle our projects has been reliable, polite, skilled, and professional. Far beyond average, they exceeded expectations.”
- Nina G., a client in Santa Monica.
Started by Gary in 1980, we began as a small handyman service. Over the years, we expanded into a complete home improvement business providing a wide range of solutions for nearly every challenge a property owner may experience. Gary remains hands-on, overseeing all jobs that include a one-hour service call to remodeling an entire home. He loves offering individual attention and is always happy to share no-cost guidance tips through calls or emails.
Gary established The Home Doctor in 1980 in the Los Angeles area after completing technical training in high school and receiving a bachelor's degree as he sought a venture that would enable him to apply both entrepreneurial and trade skills. He understood that one of the most common complaints of residents is the difficulty in locating dependable service providers who are tidy, polite, experienced, and trustworthy. Our company was the perfect answer and has prospered since we opened our doors.

Recommended Customer Reviews
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.
Gary Abrams is a wonderful, professional contractor!! Pleasure to deal with!! Fair prices for work well done!! Roy his electrical and home repair expert is a pleasure to work with!! BRAVO !! and thank you..till our next project!! Rebecca
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 and his team have helped me for over 10 years. He is wonderful, reliable, responsive, professional and goes to all lengths necessary to get the job done. I highly, highly recommend him.
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.
Jodie S.Gary and his team are fantastic. He is responsive, timely, reliable and his prices are fair. He is always available and can figure out any issue that we have had in our old home. He works to do the right fix and not up-sell on a project.
Julie S.I've known Gary Abrams, The Home Doctor, for almost thirty years. There is nothing he can't fix, create, improve or replace with something better. He's a genius at figuring things out that go wrong in your home. And he gets things done RIGHT AWAY! I can't say enough about his skill, speed and professionalism that he and his crew demonstrate when you're in any kind of house-related trouble. There's nobody better for any kind of home repair issues. He's the best.
Kiso K.I've been using The Home Doctor services for the past 3 years. Gary is the most reliable personal contractor that I have ever worked with.
Adam G.Called Gary to hang a new door and shelf in my home. He was able to send his carpenter over the very next day! He did a flawless job and charged me a fraction of what most other yelp handymen/contractors were gonna charge me. Need a trustworthy, skilled, and affordable handyman? Gary is the guy!
Jacqui K.We were on a time crunch to get this house in tip top shape for market. With my high standards and the standards of the agent, Gary and his team performed miracles!!!
