"Jeff was great. We had two other roofing companies make repairs on a leak, and it was not fixed by them. When Jeff came out, he was able to spot a possible problem area right away. The person who did the actual repairs was very thorough. He did find an issue and corrected that problem, did an overall check of the rest of the roof, and corrected some other areas. We were pleased with the company overall."

"Unfortunately, the cost of repair for our ten year old machine was nearly as much as a new machine, and Mr. Alvarez advised against doing the work."

"This is my final Review for Gary Stanley, of Stanley Handyman and Remodeling Services; as all jobs are now completed. I had written a review earlier in the process because so much had to be done and was more involved than anticipated. So some of this review may be repetitive. I will say again that Gary Stanley was a Godsend for this older couple with a 30 year old house that had over the years developed issues that we were not able to remedy. We had had a man build our Trex deck and experienced a time and money creep that left us leery of trying to find anyone else. However, we had good luck with Home Advisors/Angi's List for plumbing problems so gave it a try. Gary and one other guy answered withing 30 min. of Request placed. Other guy came with tape measurer and walked around seeing rotten boards and other problems I did not see; and ignoring what I was worried about. Told me he would send an estimate in a few days. Called back to say "they didn't make my kind of siding so would have to replace all with different type"-but no estimate. Gary Stanley came next day-got out of his truck and pulled off his ladder and took the time to actually climb up to check the siding to see what was rotten . Before I mentioned the concrete breaking up at garage door, he had knelt down and was inspecting problem. As we did a walk around for me to tell him all I had on my list. I told him there may be a problem with finding my siding based on other guy. I wanted to replace with Hardie board, but he told me that he could try but angles & size of boards may not match. I could tell from his immediate inspection of the problems and what he would do to fix each one---finally, we got the right guy with experience in all aspects of home building and repairs; carpentry, brickwork, concrete work---Thank You, Lord!! I had read his reviews: hard working, honest as day is long; doesn't quit until job finished; does good work. Big Plus was he is from Arkansas -I am from Georgia so we both spoke Southern! Now when Gary gives an estimate; he will include a phrase" unless there becomes a CATASTROPHIC finding." We were DIYers so we understood that if what seemed a simple repair was found to be more involved to repair that we would be informed and he would go from there. WE were OK with that because from the beginning ; Gary was working to save money for us- example: the iron clean out door was rusted & falling out of the hole in the chimney-I priced new ($85)- but size of hole off standard. Gary took it & refurbished the door and re-mortared it back in place for a fraction of new cost. CATASTROPHIC #1 !!!!!! became the OMG word throughout all the work! The front window repair was a nightmare of unseen rotten support beams that had to be replaced before entire top floor fell through- Gary took every precaution using a jack and series of supports to accomplish this. He re-framed the entire window including better flashing at the top (Andersen Renewal windows 6 yrs old). Replaced insulation, moisture barrier and painstakingly searched to find the right size Cedar board to trim bottom of window as I wanted. CATASTROPHIC #2!! Working on the porch, he discovered that of the 4 existing posts only 1 was bearing weight of whole porch& built in storage room on top!!!!! The railings were cemented into brick wall so removal left ugly area that had to be re-bricked. Gary made two new support posts installed in steel boots and wrapped in Cedar and painted our trim color. We were so relieved to know that issue was solved. In that process, he had noted minor missing sofit pieces and need for paint which he did and told me later. Just took care of little and big things--I noticed my front door was repainted-he said he had paint extra so he just did it and made everything on porch look new---that is his way! CATASTROPHIC #3!!! Repair of porch rooftop-He found that when roofers had replaced our roof in 2016; they had cut the shingles too far back from edge of wall. So flashing was gone and shingles migrated and water had puddled because they had tried to compensated with a dam of caulk and YEP-developed a leak. Gary always stopped and told us what he found and gave his fix and asked how to proceed. My husband, engineer, agreed with him and now all rotted trim, stucco, repaired and he re-shingled about a third of the porch roof making sure shingles installed right and that translated to repair rotten wood in top of porch where leak had occurred. Now, to the siding the other guy said he couldn't find----Gary found it at McCoys!! He also bought a Hardie board because that's what I wanted to replace-but Hardie did not work. So Gary got only siding needed to replace rotten boards. As this is a 2 story house, he put up scaffolding to be able to do the work. Every time I checked he was adding extra paint to blend in old to new and made it all look new. CATASTROPHIC #4!!! While working on side of house, Gary saw that the brick fascade beneath siding was moving. He showed us that he traced the cracks in all of the side which led down to lower wall of garage- from what he discovered and what we knew; it was revealed that our house had foundation problems! We had been unaware of the progression of the settling- Now,we understood we had to get some Foundation people out. Gary proceeded to stabilize the wall which went from bowed out to pulled back in line before he finished the siding repair. He could have just repaired siding and left us unaware of major problem. In each undertaking, I saw that not only was he skilled, but his integrity matched his skill. CATASTROPHIC #5!!-Bricking of Back Bay Window-Due to settling, bricks had actually pulled away from main structure and the mortar was crumbling in top third of structure on 3 sides. First of all, I had saved bricks from our 1984 build but was running short. Gary removed and cleaned bricks and used my extras to repair the entire area. He had to cut bricks at different angles to accommodate the degree of movement of the brick wall which he stabilized. He went the extra mile by applying needed mortar and caulk in areas adjacent to the brickwork he did- again it looks brand new. CATASTROPHIC #6!!! Our Trex deck was built around a growing OAK tree that had a hole for spacing of the tree's growth. But in last 5 years , the tree had pretty much take up space and the hole needed to be enlarged. I ask Gary to enlarge the hole but I was concerned about the Trex material and construction. He researched to find out the type of saw blade and made the cut within consideration of structure beneath the top boards. He found that the original builder had made a wooden box for the tree that sat on the support beams underneath. The positioning of that box led to water damage of that support beam which will need to be replaced but will require removal of some of the Trex Boards--that is scheduled in a month or two and I only trust Gary not to ruin the decking system for the repair! Fortunately, the other repairs went as expected. A Surprise was Gary's ingenious design and build of the cover of our outside HVAC. Evey winter when we have had freezing rains, this unit is located in the area downstream where rain falls down inside unit. The fan freezes up and all interior gets iced up and we have to turn it off to prevent motor burnout. I talked to A/C guy who said the cover had to be at least 4 ft. above unit and open on all sides to allow correct air movement. Gary was concerned about building a shelter from house going into wood siding or brick to hold weight of cover. He did research as we did looking at everything from a BBQ/Grill cover to a Pop-Up cover- We also had to consider our subdivision HOA, Gary designed and built a cover using gray PVC pipe and fittings with a top of light weight plastic sheeting- met all requirements and as was allowed attached to frame of unit to stay in place----Genius!! and didn't cost hundreds of dollars! I found a beautiful oak door that Gary finished , painted and installed for the Water Heater closet. Door was weird size and he had to make modifications to door"

"Charlie was able to work around our needs and they were able to repair the drywall damage almost to perfection. The repair crew was knowledgeable and accommodating to our family needs. They completed the job in the time specified and cleaned up everything as well once the job was completed. Overall a great experience."

"It went well. I would have rated A across the board except I rated a B for quality because 2 motion detector lights had to be replaced due to water getting into the sensor, so we did have to spend time to take them down, take them back to the store for replacement under warranty and have to reinstall them. Despite requesting special care be taken to cover the wooden front door, there were splash marks evident, but the owner Daryl addressed the issue and handled it very professionally. I think his work ethic is good and he wants his customers to be satisfied, so it all worked out well in the end."

"Lalo realigned hinges on a metal door and adjusted door knob on a closet door in same room. He was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. For other handyman services, I would not hesitate to call Alamo Handyman."

"I will not be using Tasco again for my air conditioning needs. I recently agreed to have them replace a faulty expansion valve in my relatively new system, which they had installed. The expansion valve was free (a warrantied product). They used 2 lbs. of freon. They also installed a $38 dollar dryer. The two technicians spent a total of 1 hour and 13 minutes to complete the work. The estimate to complete the work was $1200.00. You would think that this company would cut me a better deal for warranty work. Upon completion of the work, I requested an itemized bill. Later that day, the owner stated they do not give out itemized bills and that he charges a flat rate for his services. After arguing wth him for a short time he stated that because I agreed to his estimate there was nothing to argue about. If you charge a flat rate why would there be an estimate? When I started using Tasco, they had an A rating- it is now down to a B. Do yourself a favor and go with a better company that is cheaper. Make sure you get an itemized bill. You can look up the cost of every part online. I never minded paying a premium for good service, but this is ridiculous."

"Very well. So pleased with the work done. They did everything in a timely and orderly fashion. The garage door works great and y'all were able to install asap. Thank you so much for your services."

"Paul and his team did a great job. Paul was on-site for two of the three days and walked us through the entire process before starting so we could fully prepare for the repair (which pretty much took away the use of our kitchen and master bath). Paul's personnel were also very professional and courteous, ensuring that they cleaned up at the end of each day and explaining what work was slated for the next day. Now that the project is complete we cannot tell that any repairs were actually done - which is the optimal outcome for this type of repair."
