Hi, I’m Xavier and I have been working in home improvement and repairs for 20+ years. I have experience in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, carpentry, & handyman task. I love sharing my skills & ideas when needed. I love the reactions of happy clients.

"The service was exceptional, came out on a Saturday and fixed the faucet quickly, and I didn't have any issues after the service."

"I had a list of small tasks that needed to be taken care of - many were drywall patch/repair and paint (wall cracks, etc.), they painted my front door and repaired loose shutters."

"Wilson and his crew are amazing! They fixed an armoire door (antique French, so no hinges) when no one else was able to do so, and restored its veneer and cleaned the glass on the doors which had 200 years of mineral deposits. Next, they reupholstered a barrel chair, doing a beautiful job; it looks better than when I first bought it. Wilson has over 40 years of restoration experience with the Catholic Church in Italy and Ecuador, and it shows. He is also very personable and diligent when informing his customers of their job status. I highly recommend d them."

"Crew came early every day and got a lot done. Project was finished in 2.5 weeks and I am very pleased with the results. There was a glitch with the accent tile I selected, but I took a trip with Michael to Home Depot and picked out a replacement that looked great. I have had many complements on the final result."

"Sink looks awesome. The only issue was the base of my faucet fixture got stained and discolored during the process."

"We had a very difficult faucet to replace in a 60+ year old house and knew we couldn't do it ourselves.  I sent James pictures of the bathtub fixture and plumbing to assess the cost.  He provided a reasonable estimate and showed up on time.  I think the job ended up being much more difficult than expected, due to the age of the house and old fixture.  In spite of it taking 3 hours, with lots of minor complications, he honored the estimate and was very professional.  We will definitely hire him to do future work.

"I spoke to several general contractors and remodeling companies but was never "wowed" by their ideas nor felt like they were really listening to what Iiked and wanted. When a neighbor told me about Marks-Woods, I reached out and was immediately impressed. Greg, one of the partners and head of business development, replied back to my email and scheduled an appointment for the next day. When he arrived (5 minutes early by the way), he didnt rush into a sales pitch, but actually sat down and talked to me about my lifestyle, my house, what I like and don't like about it, my vision, etc. When it came to the walkthrough, he spent time in each space, taking measurement and photos, asking me questions, giving out ideas, sketching concepts, etc. Within a few days, his design team had put together several layout options for me and a very detail proposal. When I went back with ideas and changes, he provided updated ideas without any delay or hesitation. I really appreciate how much Greg and the Marks-Woods team cared about my project and treated it as if it was they were remodeling their own home. I can't say I've ever experienced that level of service and care before with any other home remodeling firm."

"I contact Jiffy because of their great reviews to have my sink unclogged. Danny Rose was the technician that came as agreed after 10 am. He was very knowledgeable and very patient with me. I am a new home owner and asked several question regarding preventive maintenance for pipe line. He unclogged my kitchen sink and cleaned up after himself (leaving no mess in my kitchen). Thanks Danny for being polite and professional."

"While I was out of town over the winter, a pipe in my laundry room burst during one of the many cold spells.   My neighbor called Roy Gaskins, who is AABCO Plumbing, and despite the fact that he was surely very busy elsewhere, he came out very quickly to search out and repair the 3 places where the pipe burst.   Then, a couple of weekends ago, I turned on the water to the outside faucets, which had been closed since last fall, only to discover -- to my horror, water pouring from the ceilings vent and lightfixture.   I called AABCO, and Roy came out the very next day -- a Sunday -- to fix the four areas where the pipe had burst.   We thought we had gotten all of the leaks, but the water mitigation company, which was tearing out some of the ruined drywall, discovered a very minor additional lead.    Roy came immediately to take care of it.    He does a great job, is committed, and pricewise, if very reasonable!
