The jobs went very well. Gus arrived on time, replaced screens quickly and cleanly inside our home on a tarp, and also replaced two broken hinges on a kitchen cabinet. Both jobs were completed in the estimated time and the price was exactly as quoted beforehand.

Extremely well. Gus is competent, careful, meticulous, knowledgeable, willing, honest, and personable. He takes a no nonsense approach and gets the work done efficiently. He has wide experience and made some worthwhile suggestions for my project. In my case, I particularly appreciated that he was local, available on relatively short notice, and responsive to my somewhat weird circumstances: the project had stalled, and I needed help to move forward.

Gus came on time and got the job done. Everything was neat, looked professional. He had been out to our house before and had done some artwork hanging and advised us on future repairs we were considering.

Gus was perfect for outsourced handyman services. Not only did he do a perfect, fast job of installing my ceiling fan, but he advised on the best way to approach the project.

Very well. Gus responded to our initial phone call the same day. We set up an appointment and Gus was able to perform the services we requested in a very professional manner. He made certain we were happy every step of the way. Hanging artwork is personal & can be tricky.

Needed someone to do the handy work which mostly included electrical replacement of light switches, outlets and light fixtures being replace. Handy Gus came prior to service to get a preview of what needed to be done and once the date was set for him to come he showed up on time and performed the duties exceptionally. He was very professional and friendly and we will hire him again when more things are needed to be repaired or fixed. <br />

Gus is awesome! He did a great job and is very friendly and professional. I've already recommended him to a friend and appreciate that he does quality work at affordable prices. He was also in time and very tidy. He answered our questions about upcoming projects too. Again, just fantastic and type of person you want to invite in your home to help.

Was very happy with the work performed. Gus is very easy to communicate with, easygoing and pleasant, and did quality work in a timely manner.  Was a good problem solver, too, when I had a couple of repairs I wasn't sure how to handle.  He is very up front about things he does not do, or that he has not done in the past, which I very much appreciate. (Never fun when someone says they can do something but has never done it before and uses your house for a paid educational session) <br /> Will definitely be using Gus's services again! <br />

I contacted Gus via the email link on Angie's List and explain the work that needed to be done and when I would be available.  Gus responsed via email the same day, and we set up the date and approximate time for him to come.  Prior to arrival, he called saying he was on his way and arrived on time.  He accessed the work (celiing light that didn't work), found the problem, and installed a new fixture that I had previously purchased. I am glad I found Gus and will definitely call him for future projects. <br /> <br />

Gus worked to make himself available at a convenient time to give an estimate, and later, to perform the work.  His estimate was clear and concise. He worked quickly and every task was done perfectly. His final bill was right at the estimate with no hassles. We will definitely use him again. <br />

Gus was prompt, efficient and professional. He was experienced and worked quickly. He was very personable and did a great job. We especially appreciated his directness in telling us his limitation by saying what he was not able to do. <br />
