Finding Reliable Handyman in Bay Area

I was just curious how everyone on here find their handyman.. I actually have an excellent handyman who works on everything for my properties. Has his own tools and truck, works efficiently (but smart! i don't like redoing projects!), and most importantly of all, TRUSTWORTHY!! I was fortunate to have run into him (and I'm happy to hook you up with him if you need some larger jobs done in the Bay Area, as I don't have full-time work for him - although he stays busy. just message me or email from my website)

But I'm also curious what other sources people use, and I'd like to find sort of a back-up handyman in the Bay Area. Near Berkeley/Richmond is preferable. At my job, we're always talking about succession planning for key individuals to the success of the business. In my case, he is also in my property manager in some respects, and having someone to rely on for repairs at least is absolutely critical for me. Does everyone get referrals from other investors? Agents? Whats-her-list? BP?

Thanks for the input!

I have the greatest contractor that can handle any job big or small. He lives in Vallejo but works all around the Bay. He is licensed, very reliable, always on time and is a perfectionist. Message me if you ever need a back up =)
