Workers did not remove door hardware before filling the strike plates with paint. When I called to have this remedied the owner hung up on me. When I called back he told me he has nothing to talk about and hung up again. He took advantage of the person who was present during the work and is now refusing to even speak to me about it. I would give him less than half a star if I could. I also have pictures of the work which is to a standard I struggle to even call amateur.

contractor measure incorrectly resulting in wrong product ordered and then told me is my fault. Did not have proper truck to pick up product so I had to rent a pick up truck to get product to my house.

They told me that they could not find the wood and still charged me money and left. I hired someone else and they found the parts that they said they could not find. Assembled a part of the gazebo just to say that they could charge labor. I would never recommend them to anyone.

I couldn t be more pleased with this job. Fernando was professional, helpful, efficient, and he and his crew did an amazing job. They completed a very large project in under the time promised, right on budget. Everything was completed beautifully. He was always available for questions whenever we had them, they were always on time, worked very hard, and did outstanding work. I would highly recommend this company to anyone who needs work done in their home.

Very well pleased with my handyman. He went above and beyond with us to get the correct materials. He gave very good suggestions on the project which came out very well.

I asked him to caulk windows and it was the most over paid job I've ever had done. He started caulking and then it started to rain. He wanted to get the job done and didn't take the time to do it right. I have caulk that needs to be redone because it has lifted away from the window. Because of the rain, caulk washed out of the window and clean up afterwards made a mess of my deck.

Lara was friendly and very accurate in measuring. H e even went out of his way to pick up materials. He was so accurate there was very little waste. He answered all questions and explained as he went along and offered suggestions for later basement work. Would use again and recommend to neighbors. On time and a great job
