Personable, friendly gave a great bid but unfortunately was not up to the task…read more He seemed to have a real issue with measuring. The closet he built us does not have a right angle in it and one side is a full inch and a quarter longer than the other, making it very difficult to find a door. The sliding door he installed is not centered so there's this weird filler on only one side. He didn't give us the correct measurements to purchase the door in the right size to begin with, which I think caused the off-center installation. Either he decided he couldn't do the work or got bored with the job, either way, he left us, for weeks, in the middle and went to do another job (very well reviewed, with pictures on Yelp). He made excuses every day (he was sick, his dogs got loose, Home Depot didn't have what he needed...) about why he couldn't come, never mentioning he was working on a different job. We only found out when we were looking through Yelp and saw their review. He finally showed back up with workers that he hadn't had before and asked that I pay half of their day's wages ($400 which was not an agreement in the original bid). The next time I saw him, he showed up around noon, got nothing done for a whole half day then left again. That was the day we decided we had to change. We needed the work done by March and he had proved we could not rely on him. (By the way we are still struggling, as elderly people unable to do the work ourselves, to get the work completed and it's now the following January). We had paid him in full for several jobs that he either did not do at all or did not complete. We requested a refund. He gave most of it back, in small amounts, with a couple of months prodding online, but never came through with the final $100 he owed us. I was angry, but now I'm just sad because he seemed like a nice guy, but as the job wore on it was obvious it was just too big for him and he had an excuse every day why he couldn't be here on time, why he couldn't be here at all and why he always needed more money. He would go to Home Depot every day and buy supplies that we paid for and one day he decided to buy himself a new power tool, that we paid for. I guess nice people have issues too. Sadly, I would not recommend him.

Painted my house, repaired Hardy siding, repaired and replaced tile in a bathroom, fixed rotted plates in my shed and turned an ugly storage area on the side of my house into something attractive and usable. I have a pier and beam house and the metal posts were rusted and flaking. The crew completely revived them and made them like new. They were always on time and communicative, and now that they're done, I feel like I have a new house! Would absolutely recommend GJB to anyone needing a well rounded handyman service for just about anything under the sun.

He's sealed and painted a window seal for me, installed an insanely heavy window unit and just today added some back splash for me as we are getting a new range hood installed. Cruz went above and beyond on this job, being able to locate the tile to match what we already had even though it was discontinued everywhere we looked! He always finishes every job in a timely fashion and is very knowledgeable and professional. I always appreciate how he cares about the end result of my job and not just just what i ask him to do...because sometimes you THINK you know what you need but you're just guessing. The best part about his services is he's affordable! No minimum number hours like most handy services charge so you don't have to be scared to call him out. He's independent and will work with you to get your job done! We appreciate everything he's done for us this year and will be calling him again shortly to install a ceiling fan...but he knows that already.

The Cruz team was amazing! They were on time, clean and more of a perfectionist than I am with…read moretheir installation of my wall mounted televisions and 5' mirrors. I would highly recommend them!
